"I won't tell her, so she won't worry." Gu Huaijin made the decision after careful consideration. Although he knew that Song Zhi might be very angry after knowing this, he decided to keep it a secret for a while. It would be better not to let her worry about him while she was in school.

"Then you must come back safely, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my sister-in-law." Captain Qin also knew his considerations. He didn't want his family to be worried when he went on a mission. Moreover, this mission was not a simple one, but to completely wipe out the gang that had been lingering. Now they were facing a larger and more cunning group.

"Don't worry!" Gu Huaijin patted his shoulder. After working together for so long, they had some tacit understanding.

If this succeeds, Gu Huaijin will not only be credited with a great achievement, but may also be transferred directly back to Kyoto.

He came to the Northwest for his own reasons at that time, and he also worked hard to rectify the discipline and style of the troops in the Northwest. After two years of his efforts, he was no longer needed here, and he also wanted to go back. Once a person has concerns, the work he loves will not be as pure as before.

Gu Huaijin came back twenty days later, but he came back with injuries. Fortunately, there was no serious problem. The bullet hit his arm. Fortunately, it was treated properly at the time. Now he just had an operation and is staying in the hospital.

"The mission was completed very well. You should take good care of your injuries. We can discuss everything after you recover." Commander Li also came to the hospital to see his brave general. It was really a cause for celebration that the hungry wolf that had been hiding in the local area for so many years would actually be caught in one fell swoop.

"What did the commander mean by what he said just now? Is there anything else I don't know?" Commander Qin asked puzzledly after Commander Li left. He didn't understand what the two of them were talking about, so he just asked directly. After all, they were old friends now and wouldn't be so taboo.

"I want to go back to Kyoto." Gu Huaijin felt that there was nothing to hide, so she just said it directly. Anyway, everyone would know it even after she left.

"Are you leaving?" Captain Qin's face showed disbelief. To be honest, he did have some opinions about this transferred political commissar at the beginning. He felt that he was a person who did not do practical work and relied on his family connections to get promoted and make money. But after getting along with him for such a long time, he found that he was wrong. This person was ambitious, and the two of them had always been a good partner. Why did he suddenly want to leave?

"I've submitted the application. It depends on how they make the final arrangements." Gu Huaijin thought about what the commander had just said. It was obvious that he was playing dirty and seemed not to want to let him leave.

"You are very popular now, so it may be difficult for you to leave." Captain Qin also thought of what happened just now. If you don't do your job well and your boss wants you to be transferred, it is just a courtesy. But if you do your job well, avoiding talking about the transfer means that he doesn't want to let you go.

Gu Huaijin had not yet determined the final outcome of the matter, and it seemed a bit tricky now, so he did not tell Song Zhi about it. When Song Zhi called, he was recuperating at home with a bandage on his arm, and hurried over to answer the phone.

"Why didn't you answer my call a few days ago? Are you busy?" Song Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was not the operator. She had been worried for the past few days, feeling panicky for unknown reasons.

Before leaving, Gu Huaijin told the operator that if anyone at home called him, it meant he was in a meeting or training.

"It's okay. I was too busy these past few days and I'm done now. What have you been doing during this time?" Gu Huaijin's concerned voice came through the microphone.

"The professor has started a rice research project. We have been doing research recently and have been quite busy. I heard that a big shot will come to invest in our research soon, and he will be from Hong Kong." Song Zhi was a little curious about this investor that everyone was looking forward to.

Gu Huaijin was silent for a moment and then asked, "How much funding do you need for this research?"

"Of course the more the better. In fact, freshmen like me are not eligible to participate in research experiments. But this year is special. Except for the professor, all the people on our project are freshmen. The research may take a long time, and there will be no return for a long time. If there is not enough funding, it will be difficult to support it." Song Zhi explained that the reason they needed a lot of money was not because their research group wanted to keep the money for themselves.

Gu Huaijin understood, "Are you sure the investor will invest?" If not, he would also help look for one.

"That's for sure. This person is also from our mainland. I heard he's a big boss. Now he's made a fortune in Hong Kong and wants to come back to build his hometown. To put it bluntly, he wants to tell everyone that he's successful. This kind of person definitely wants a good reputation. Since he promised something, he won't go back on his word." Song Zhi said affirmatively.

"Okay, where's Panpan?"

"He's asleep. Now he has a new friend and doesn't pay much attention to me." Song Zhi complained, with a hint of anger in his tone.

"Is it the star we talked about before?" Gu Huaijin imagined that his son had a new friend, which was also a happy thing. It showed that the child had grown up and was exposed to more aspects of the world.

"Yes, you really don't know until you compare. That child is very smart. He's not much older than our son, but he knows everything. He takes advantage of our son..."

Even without being told, Gu Huaijin knew what the following words meant. "Every child is different. You can't say he's like that. Panpan is also like that. Our Panpan is also quite smart."

"I didn't say he wasn't smart, I just expressed my feelings a few times, but you made such a big deal out of it." Song Zhi was originally chatting happily, but suddenly he felt like he was lecturing him.

"It's my fault. Will you go to class tomorrow?" Gu Huaijin asked, changing the subject.

"Go ahead, we have to go earlier now. Oh, I won't talk to you anymore. We have things to do tomorrow. I need to go to bed early today. Hang up!"

Before Gu Huaijin could say goodbye, he heard the sound of the phone being hung up. Gu Huaijin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Why was he in such a hurry now?

"Calling Xiaojin?" Song's mother put on her coat and walked out of the bedroom and asked.

"Yes, you don't have to nag me anymore. Your son-in-law is fine. He's just been too busy recently."

Song's mother has been feeling uneasy these days. Although her son-in-law is not her son, they have developed feelings for each other over such a long time. Moreover, they are so far away from each other now, so she is better prepared for the worst. Of course she is worried if she can't get a call, but now she also feels a little resentful towards her son-in-law. It is always okay for him to take time to call, but he hasn't called back for such a long time. Doesn't this make everyone at home worry?
