Chapter 304 I don't want to risk my life now.
"Commander Li, thank you for thinking of my husband."
"It's just that everyone has different choices, and everyone takes different paths in life."
“Yang Zeyan’s family has a very large business and many properties. He is their only son, so he is the only one who can inherit the family business.”
“There are many advantages to staying in the military, but every mission is a life-or-death situation. It’s hard to say whether he will live to see his family return home in glory.”
"Now that we have the means, both his father and the baby in my belly need him, so we have no choice but to make this decision."
Du Ruoxia's words were based on reality, and every word she spoke was sincere.
Commander Li paused for a moment, then finally realized that what she said made sense.
"You're right, I've paid a lot to achieve all the honors I have today."
"I believe you saw my wounds when you treated me. It wasn't easy to get to where I am today."
“Yang Zeyan has more options now, and I really shouldn’t stop him.”
"But I really think highly of him, and I hope he can consider this matter carefully and not make a decision he will regret later."
Du Ruoxia nodded to indicate that she understood. In fact, Du Ruoxia rarely interfered with Yang Zeyan's decisions, and these were conclusions he had reached after careful consideration.
Du Ruoxia did not intend to continue arguing with Commander Li.
"If Commander Li thinks I can change his mind, I can take some time to ask him before I leave."
“You two can talk it out yourselves; there’s no need for me to relay the message.”
"Alright, then tell Yang Zeyan that I will pay him a visit tonight."
Du Ruoxia had only said it casually, but she didn't expect Commander Li to take it seriously.
It seems he really takes this matter very seriously and wants to change his mind based on his experience.
"Then I'll have to trouble Commander Li."
Du Ruoxia didn't say much; she had no right to interfere with Commander Li's decision.
"It's no trouble at all. The food will be ready soon. Let's go wash our hands and eat."
Commander Li looked at Du Ruoxia with affection. He respected her and regarded her as a likable junior after spending time together.
"good."
Du Ruoxia responded softly.
Commander Li put a lot of thought into the meal to thank Du Ruoxia.
The vegetables were all bought fresh, and they were all very good quality.
The guard was a good cook, and he put a lot of thought into the cooking this time, so the food was delicious.
Du Ruoxia usually just stir-fries a few simple dishes and eats casually; it's been a long time since she's had such a big meal.
She was very satisfied with the food this time, and even ate an extra bowl of rice compared to before.
Commander Li's mood improved when he saw Du Ruoxia enjoying her meal.
"Before the illness was cured, we didn't dare to eat too much meat or fish at home, so we haven't had a chance to invite you to dinner."
"This is the final farewell. Where do you plan to live after this? Could we exchange contact information?"
"If I develop health problems in the future, I hope I can still contact you."
Commander Li knew his request was somewhat excessive, but he had no choice but to make it.
"Even if I leave the military, I will still be the director of the military hospital and the provincial hospital."
"If you need to see a doctor at that time, you can have them contact me by phone."
Du Ruoxia doesn't know where she'll be staying or if her phone number will change, so she can't tell him for now.
"Do we really have to contact each other through someone else? It makes it seem like we're not very familiar with each other."
"Can we contact each other directly? You can leave your address or contact information."
"But I don't have a place to stay right now, nor do I have a fixed way to contact you."
Du Ruoxia gave a simple explanation, and Commander Li suddenly understood.
"Then leave me my contact information. Once you've settled down, call me when you have some free time to let me know how you're doing."
Commander Li was very persistent about this matter, and he tried every means to get Du Ruoxia's contact information.
"OK."
This time, Du Ruoxia didn't refuse; instead, she readily agreed.
Xiao Zhou quickly handed over the small piece of paper with Commander Li's address and phone number written on it.
He held the note in both hands, looking very humble.
"Dr. Du, this is Commander Li's contact information. Please keep it safe and remember to call him later, otherwise he will worry."
Xiao Zhou emphasized it again, and Commander Li nodded in satisfaction, because he had spoken his mind.
He wouldn't feel so embarrassed if someone else said those things.
After all, these words have already been said once, and it is inappropriate to say them a second time.
"Don't worry, I will call Commander Li once I've settled down."
Du Ruoxia smiled slightly, while Commander Li laughed heartily.
Yang Zeyan arrived just in time for lunch. After eating, Du Ruoxia went to chat with her neighbor.
Only Commander Li and Yang Zeyan remained in the living room. Commander Li coughed and finally spoke.
"Yang Zeyan, I have reviewed your file and found that your resume is outstanding. If you continue to stay in the army for further training, your future will be limitless."
Commander Li didn't waste any words; he immediately started talking about benefits, trying to win people over.
Yang Zeyan did not respond, and Commander Li continued.
"With your abilities and my assistance, you will be able to take my position before you turn 50."
Commander Li himself was 52 years old when he finally rose to his current position based on his outstanding military achievements.
At that time, he had no mentors to guide him and had to rely entirely on his own hard work and struggle, which led him to take many detours.
Because he has taken these detours, he now knows how to avoid them.
Commander Li had never imagined that one day he would take the initiative to help others.
He even thought at the time that since he had gone through such a difficult time, this young man shouldn't expect to get everything so easily.
This was the first time he had taken the initiative to speak up, showing his enthusiasm for helping Yang Zeyan.
Commander Li originally thought that with such tempting offers, most people would have no way to refuse.
Yang Zeyan was able to serve in the army for so many years because of more than just his passion.
It's more about his duty as a soldier that has enabled him to persevere for ten years.
Commander Li's offer was very tempting, but Yang Zeyan was also clear about his responsibilities and the path he would take in the future.
"Commander Li, thank you for your kindness, but I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you about this."
"I served in the army for more than ten years, and I was seriously injured countless times and my life was on the line countless times."
"The day I joined the army, I had already disregarded life and death."
"Back then, I could make any decision I wanted to make because of my passion."
“However, now that I am married and about to become a father, I do not want to risk my life.”
As Yang Zeyan spoke, he took off the single layer of clothing he was wearing.
His strong body was covered with shocking wounds.
The wound on his lower back was gruesome and terrifying, and there were also several deep wounds on his back that exposed the bone.
Besides these obvious wounds, he also had countless minor injuries on his body.
Including the brain surgery he had previously undergone, you can see the stitch marks just by lifting his hair slightly.
These injuries were more and more serious than the last, each one potentially fatal.
