Li Qingqing's palms were also covered in a layer of cold sweat. She had brought her child all the way here. If she were sent back again, wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?

The sentry shook his head apologetically: "We have only received your application for military dependents so far. We haven't heard from the others yet. But I can help ask if they have submitted any applications. Even if they haven't submitted any applications, it's fine for family members to stay in the family compound for a short period of time. However, the maximum duration for temporary accommodation is 45 days."

With those words, Shu Ying felt relieved.

As long as Duan Huaichuan is alive, forty-five days is enough to handle the relevant formalities.

He better not be dead!!

"Then I'd really appreciate it if you could ask for me. I'm so sorry."

Watching the sentry's departing figure, Shu Ying wondered if, in her previous life, Xie Zhiyan had known about the trouble in her family as soon as he returned.

That's why she submitted her application to accompany her husband to the military without any hesitation?

If that's really the case, then everything Xie Zhiyan did was clearly to protect her!

Shu Ying's heart skipped a beat, as if she had missed some important information.

The sentry quickly hung up the phone and came out.

When she met Li Qingqing's gaze again, she felt a little reluctant.

Shu Ying and Li Qingqing went up to him at the same time: "How is it? Is Xie Zhiyan here now? Is he very busy with work? If it's convenient, could you ask him to come and see us first?"

Since they've already come all this way, no matter what the situation is on Duan Huaichuan's side, they need a place to stay first.

The sentry stated frankly, "Commander Xie is currently not at his work unit. The reply from above is that he just returned not long ago and then left again."

Shu Ying was full of questions: "He left? Where did he go?"

Since Xie Zhiyan has already submitted an application for her to accompany him to the military, he can't just leave her and her child to fend for themselves, can he?

The sentry said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's not convenient for us to know the specifics of Commander Xie's actions, but don't worry, the leadership has instructed us to make sure you are properly taken care of. People from above have already been sent to pick you up, and they will be there in about three to five minutes."

After he finished speaking, he met Li Qingqing's expectant gaze: "As for Company Commander Duan, he was seriously injured when he returned from the front line and is still unconscious in the hospital, which is why your report on accompanying the troops has not been submitted."

Upon hearing that Duan Huaichuan was injured, Li Qingqing's heart leaped into her throat.

Her eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she stepped forward, completely disoriented: "A very serious injury? Which hospital is he in now? Is he... is he alright?"

The sentry patiently explained, "Company Commander Duan is still unconscious, but instructions have been given from above. You don't need to worry about accommodation; the unit will arrange everything properly. Your timely arrival will make it easier to take care of the patient."

Shu Ying gently stroked her back: "Don't worry, the best hospital is right here. Since he was able to come back from the front line alive, he'll definitely be fine. Let's settle our things first, and after we rest, I'll go to the hospital with you."

With tears in her eyes, Li Qingqing nodded without saying a word.

Soon a guard came over, exchanged a few words with the sentry, and then saluted Shu Ying and her group from a distance.

"Hello, sister-in-law, I'm bodyguard Li Dongfang. My superiors sent me to pick someone up."

The text only mentioned two households to be picked up. Upon seeing Song Zhaodi alone nearby, he instinctively asked, "And this lady is...?"

Shu Ying quickly stepped forward: "Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is my cousin who I grew up with. She's here to help take care of the children."

When Li Dongfang saw the two children beside Shu Ying, he immediately understood: "I understand completely, then come with me."

Without even thinking, just by seeing Yangyang, he knew which leader's child he was.

The little guy looks like a miniature version of Xie Zhiyan; he's so cute!
