"Those people were all left to Ruan Ruan by her master?"
They all knew Ruan Ruan's master, Mr. Bai Shu, but for someone who had disappeared for so many years to suddenly appear before the world, and for so many people to follow him in places they didn't know about, they could only be thankful that he hadn't harmed the country; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Commander, you have a wonderful daughter!" Who wouldn't be happy to have such a brave and resourceful daughter? Political Commissar Lin was very envious. He thought about his son, whom he had carefully cultivated, who was now far away from them. Alas, if anyone is to blame, it's that kid's blindness. He can't blame anyone else.
"You flatter me!" Hearing others praise Ruan Ruan, Commander Ruan, as a father, was still very proud. Back then, they all wanted to see their family make a fool of themselves, and behind their backs they all said that Ruan Ruan grew up in the countryside, and even if she was brought back now, she wouldn't be as outstanding as a girl raised in a noble family.
And now? From the time Ruan Ruan started her pharmaceutical factory until now, let's see if anyone still says that Ruan Ruan is inferior to their daughter. If they're so capable, let's have a contest.
"Haocheng, Shaohong, after you go back, write a report on this mission, and I will submit it to the higher-ups later."
He didn't say why he was handing it in, but they all knew he was trying to get credit for Ruan Ruan; her contributions shouldn't be withheld in such an unclear way.
"Yes, Commander."
"Alright, you can all go back and rest. I'll give you a week off."
With the leave granted, they can go home and spend quality time with their parents.
On the other side, after Ruan Shaoke and Bai Sirui were sent to the military hospital, the doctors examined their injuries and also gave them a full physical examination.
After the examination, the conclusion was that there was nothing seriously wrong and they could go home to recuperate. So they were asked to be taken back to the Ruan family home.
After all that trouble, they went to their room to rest when they got home. Everyone was there until dinner time, including Ruan Shaoke's parents, Ruan Chuanyan and Su Yunxin, as well as Ruan Shiya.
During the meal, they showed concern for the two wounded soldiers. Ruan Shaolin, who was standing to the side, looked at Bai Sirui's smug expression with disdain. Ruan Shaohong could only pretend not to see it.
Having learned his lesson from last time, this time, whenever he saw Huo Haocheng serving food to Ruan Ruan, he would serve food to Qian Ling as well. When he saw Huo Haocheng picking fish bones from Ruan Ruan, he almost couldn't resist. It was impossible for him to pick fish bones, but he could still serve her a piece of fish.
Ruan Shaolin, who was already angry, saw that everyone was eating in pairs and no one paid any attention to him. He became even angrier and finished the rice in his bowl with both mouthfuls. Then he got off the table and went to the sofa.
"What's wrong with this child today? Isn't it good that he came back safe and sound?" Gu Wenzhen was puzzled by his behavior, but it was such a good day, so she couldn't really say anything to him.
Those who knew the situation merely glanced at him indifferently, then lowered their heads and continued eating.
After dinner, the family sat around the sofa, cracking sunflower seeds and listening to them recount how Ruan Ruan had come to meet them.
After a day of discussion, everyone in the compound knows about Ruan Ruan's story, and now they want to hear what she has to say.
"Actually, it's nothing. Uncle Kun was rescued by my master when he was injured on the battlefield. Later, he was discharged from the army and returned home, but there was no place for him in his family. So my master gave him a settlement fee and then helped my master manage the black market pharmacy."
As for Uncle A-Jie, I heard it's because my master gave him some money when he was down on his luck, and he used that money to achieve what he has today. He said he promised his master three things, and the first of those was to help me. As for Grandpa Ming, it's entirely because of Uncle A-Jie.”
Ruan Ruan explained the situation in a few words. As for why she went, she simply thought to herself, 'Of course I'm going to pick them up and take them home! Am I just going to stand by and watch them beheaded? You have to understand, this time they're being besieged by forces from three kingdoms!'
The two old men who heard her heartfelt words were deeply moved. When has it ever been that the country needs a young girl to save it from disaster?
"Ruan Ruan, actually, I've always wanted to ask, generally speaking, soldiers are not allowed to cross the border, so why did they come to the border of the United States to meet us?"
Gu Jingyan, who asked this question, learned a lot from her father this time. Similarly, it was the first time she had encountered such a situation. She knew that as an excellent diplomat, she would encounter many similar situations in the future, and she was prepared to sacrifice for her country. However, when she saw her brothers risking their lives to protect her, she could not accept their protection with a clear conscience. So after returning home today, she told her father that she wanted to learn from Ruan Ruan.
So, what she really wanted to say was that Ruan Ruan was so amazing, and asked if she could teach her.
Upon hearing her question, they were taken aback at first, but then they realized that, as soldiers, they always kept the national regulations in mind.
"Because I'm not an ordinary person, and I'm not a soldier, so why should I care about that regulation? What does it have to do with me? At most, I'm just a military dependent. Is there any regulation that says military dependents can't go abroad?"
Ruan Ruan said this casually, and these words were deeply imprinted in their hearts. Yes, there is no regulation that says military dependents cannot go abroad. Their fixed mindset has always been that they are soldiers and military dependents, so they must abide by the country's regulations. But no one has ever said that military dependents must also abide by regulations. Those regulations are used to restrain soldiers.
Once they realized what was happening, everyone stared at her with wide, eager eyes.
