"Chief of Staff, you wanted to see me?"
Su Hongwei opened the door and walked in. Looking at Li Kai sitting in the chair, he gave Li Kai a military salute.
Li Kai glanced at him with a slightly complicated expression and got straight to the point, "The old commander just called to inform me that I need to add one more person's name to the list of troops to be sent to the border."
"That person is... Su Yunfei!"
"You mean Yunfei?"
Su Hongwei's eyes suddenly narrowed, as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was completely stunned.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly.
He quickly composed himself and then asked Li Kai, "Chief of Staff, I wonder which senior leader issued this order?"
"It's Chief Xie."
Li Kai did not hide it from him.
He stared intently at Su Hongwei. Su Hongwei had been by his side for ten years, and Su Yunfei had been transferred to the Fengcheng Military Region for more than three years.
Su Yunfei performed exceptionally well in the military region, but he was too eager for quick success, so he often overdid it.
To be honest, he wholeheartedly agreed with his old superior's suggestion to transfer Su Yunfei to the border troops for training.
He had previously considered transferring Su Yunfei to other military units for training, but every time he mentioned this idea to Su Hongwei, the old commander Su would call his office the next day.
Therefore, there was not a single success.
To Li Kai's utter surprise, his former superior suddenly called to inform him that he should transfer Su Yunfei to the border troops for two years. Upon hearing this news, Li Kai was both astonished and delighted.
What's surprising is that Chief Xie's phone call came at just the right time.
The good news is that there is an order from Chief Xie. Even if Chief Su intervenes, it won't change the fact that Su Yunfei has been transferred to the border for training.
"It was actually an order issued by Commander Xie?"
Su Hongwei was dumbfounded. His breath hitched, and his throat felt like it was blocked by something. It took him a long time to murmur aloud.
His lips moved, but he finally asked stiffly, "Chief of Staff, has Commander Xie explained the specific reasons?"
"No!"
Li Kai shook his head and said truthfully, "He only asked me to tell you that if you want to know the reason, you should ask your son Su Yunfei directly. He didn't say anything else."
"In addition, the old commander said that the departure time is set for the morning of the day after tomorrow to go to the border."
Does this mean that Su Yunfei is not given any room to maneuver?
Su Hongwei felt his heart clench into a knot.
He couldn't understand what Yunfei had done to offend Chief Xie, that Chief Xie would personally issue an order to transfer Su Yunfei to such a remote border region.
Border troops not only face extremely harsh conditions and lack of food, clothing, and supplies, but most importantly, the border is also particularly chaotic, with riots breaking out from time to time.
If Yunfei went there, let alone two years, he wouldn't be able to stand it even if he only stayed for half a year...
Su Hongwei didn't know how he left the chief of staff's office. He only felt a chill run down his spine. He got into his car with a heavy heart and asked his bodyguard to take him back to the Su family home.
When Su Hongwei returned to the Su family home, he saw Su Yunfei kneeling in the living room, while Su's mother stood to the side with a look of heartache on her face. The old man was sitting on the sofa with a very unpleasant expression, looking both angry and disappointed.
Hearing the noise, Old Master Su subconsciously looked up towards the door. When he saw that it was his eldest son who had returned, his eyes narrowed.
He asked in a deep voice, "Why are you back?"
Su Hongwei first glanced at Su Yunfei, then looked at the old man and said, "Just now, the Chief of the General Staff called me to his office and told me something. He said that Chief Xie called the Fengcheng Military Region and wanted to transfer Yunfei to the border troops for two years of training."
As soon as the words were spoken, Su Yunfei's mother could no longer stand. She turned around instantly to look at Su Chongwei, her voice sharp.
"What? Go to the border? How can that be? The border is so far away, and I've heard it's especially chaotic there. Yunfei absolutely cannot go to the border."
"Shut up!"
Grandpa Su's temples throbbed from her nagging. He gave his eldest daughter-in-law a sharp look, and Grandma Su was immediately intimidated by his piercing gaze.
He lowered his head and dared not utter another sound.
Grandpa Su rubbed his temples, his voice tinged with weariness. "Old Gu just called home, saying that he was concerned about my health and allowed me to rest at home for a while, and that I should temporarily hand over the things I was doing to Huo Zhongqing."
"Is the old commander going to suspend you from your post?"
Su Hongwei asked in shock, his face filled with disbelief, "But why? Dad, shouldn't the old commander have a reason for suspending your command?"
Whenever this matter is mentioned, Grandpa Su gets furious.
He fixed his gaze on Su Yunfei, gritting his teeth as he said, "Isn't this all because of the stupid things your good son did!"
"In the morning, Lu Lingxiao submitted a plan at the meeting to form a special forces unit. The leaders have unanimously approved it, but because Yunfei had caused him trouble before, Lu Lingxiao publicly rejected Yunfei at the meeting."
"As a result, your good son turned around and ran to follow Lu Lingxiao's wife. Isn't that just courting death?"
After saying that, Old Master Su grabbed the ashtray in a fit of anger and threw it at Su Yunfei.
With a thud.
The ashtray missed, and although it didn't hit anyone, it shattered into several pieces on the ground.
After hearing his father's words, Su Hongwei felt his head buzzing.
Having spent decades in the military region, he naturally understood the severe consequences that could result from the leak of undisclosed information. No wonder even the old man was affected.
Looking at his son, whom he was so proud of, Su Hongwei sighed painfully, "Yunfei, how could you be so foolish..."
Su Yunfei opened his mouth, but it took him a long time to say, "I didn't think that much at the time. I just felt that this was unfair to me. I'm a soldier too, so why can't I participate in the selection and assessment for special forces?"
"In addition to Su Qing's matter, when I saw Feng Zhiyi going out alone, I impulsively followed her."
He never expected Feng Zhiyi to be so difficult, and he certainly didn't expect that as soon as Feng Zhiyi returned to the No. 2 compound, she would complain about him to Old Master Huo and Old Master Xie!
"Dad, Grandpa, I don't want to go to the border. I'll go and beg Lu Lingxiao and Feng Zhiyi. I'll go and apologize to them..." As long as they can get them to agree, there's still a chance for things to turn around.
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted sternly by Old Master Su.
He slammed his hand on the coffee table, his voice sharp and piercing, "What do you think the military is? Is it your home? Before, when Li Kai wanted to transfer you to another unit, I could still find a way to keep you in Beijing."
"But this time, no one can protect you!"
