Hearing this, he smiled broadly and said, "Yes, I know!"
Whether the elders want to stay or not is up to them. However, she secretly hopes to keep them by her side to take good care of and be filial to them.
After all, her uncle was going to the Northwest, leaving only the three elderly people to live in the countryside, and she was really worried about them.
"I'll try to persuade them to reconsider when we go back to their parents' home."
"Okay, I'll help you persuade them!"
The two were chatting and embracing each other when, just as they were about to leave the city, the car following them came to a screeching halt on the side of the road.
Many people heard this and quickly turned the steering wheel and stepped on the brakes to stop the vehicle on the side of the road.
Bai Yajing was also startled and turned around to look behind her. "What happened?"
Xiao Che wasn't too surprised; instead, he felt like it had finally arrived.
He patted her reassuringly, "Don't get out of the car, I'll go check on her."
Bai Yajing nodded in agreement and watched him get out of the car.
He also leaned out the window and looked outside.
People started getting out of the car. Someone opened the hood, and a puff of white smoke billowed out, causing everyone around to cough.
"What happened? We checked the car before we left, and it was fine!"
"Yes, there were no problems when we went!"
Xiao Che narrowed his eyes slightly. The people he brought were all carefully selected and trustworthy, so he naturally had no doubts.
That means they might have done it in the family compound; it's quite normal for a few small fry to sneak in with so many people.
He lowered his voice and whispered in a low voice that only a few people could hear, "Someone has tampered with it. You guys fix the car first, Ya Jing and I will go first, and someone will come to pick you up later."
Since he knew someone was going to cause trouble, how could he not make any preparations?
Everyone was shocked to hear this, but their expressions remained unchanged. As military personnel, they could handle such a small matter without flinching.
Xiao Che then raised his voice again, his face showing some displeasure, "Damn it! Something must have gone wrong. There's nothing I can do. You guys fix the car first; I can't afford to waste time on my end."
"Once we arrive at the military region, I'll have someone send another vehicle to pick you up."
Everyone quickly chimed in, "It's such a joyous day, you should go home now! Your uncle, aunt, and Grandpa Xiao must be getting impatient!"
"Yes, we'll see if we can fix it. If not, we'll wait for you to send a car to pick us up!"
Xiao Che sighed and waved goodbye to his brothers with a sigh of resignation.
Back in the car, he said to Xu Duo, "Let's go first."
"Yes, Minister!"
Bai Yajing had just seen everything that was happening over there, and her intuition told her that something was wrong.
But she was smart enough not to ask any more questions.
After the car started, Xiao Che handed her a small pistol and gestured for her to get ready.
Bai Yajing received it and nodded silently.
Many people sat upright in front, having been instructed by Xiao Che before the journey began. They were now on high alert, driving while secretly observing their surroundings.
As they reached the outskirts, the population dwindled, but they were still some distance from the military area. The three of them silently sat up straight and became alert.
The vehicle drove steadily on the road. It was unusually quiet here, without even the chirping of insects or birds, which was clearly abnormal.
Xiao Che touched her hand, and Bai Yajing gently brushed his hand back to indicate that she understood.
