The jeep sped along the way, and the journey that was supposed to take forty-five minutes was completed in just twenty-five minutes, arriving ahead of schedule.
The department store was right in front of him. Just when Xu Wenhan wanted to step on the accelerator and move forward, a group of soldiers appeared in front of him and waved at the jeep.
Xu Wenhan had no choice but to slow down and stop the jeep steadily in front of the soldiers.
"Comrade, the area ahead is temporarily blocked due to our special military operation. Please take a detour."
Seeing this, Xu Wenhan said anxiously, "Comrade, I want to ask, we have a few friends who came to the department store this morning and haven't returned home yet. We are very worried."
"Don't worry, they may be within our blockade area. Once we lift the blockade, they can go home. You can wait nearby."
The leading soldier pointed to a place a little further away, and only then did Xu Wenhan notice that there was a large group of people gathered there, who seemed to be waiting for their families to return home.
Xu Wenhan wanted to say something, but the leading soldier ignored him and turned back to his post.
Seeing this, Du Yuanxiu jumped out of the car and walked straight towards the soldiers.
"Comrade."
The leading soldier thought it was still Xu Wenhan. "Comrade, what's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you that you would go home naturally after the blockade is lifted?"
As soon as the leading soldier turned around, Du Yuanxiu gave him a standard military salute, and the soldier quickly returned the salute.
"Hello, my name is Du Yuanxiu, and I work for the Southern X Group Army!"
As Du Yuanxiu spoke, he handed his officer ID to the soldier.
The soldier took the officer's ID, looked at it, and immediately saluted again!
"Hello, Chief!" Du Yuanxiu's military rank is an officer, several levels higher than the leading non-commissioned officer, so it is natural for him to be called Chief.
Du Yuanxiu pointed inside the blockade area and asked, "Excuse me, what happened in there?"
The soldier looked embarrassed, "Commander, this is hard to say."
Du Yuanxiu naturally understood all this, so he stopped asking questions and continued, "Then can you help me see if you have seen three young girls?"
"Three girls? Is one of them also a soldier?"
"Yes, yes, that's them. Have you seen them?"
The leading soldier nodded: "Yes, they should be in the military sub-district hospital now. They just left here not long ago."
Du Yuanxiu suddenly raised his voice: "Military Sub-district Hospital? What happened to them?"
This shout also startled Xu Wenhan and his third brother Du Yuanzhan, and they hurried towards Du Yuanxiu.
"Don't be nervous, they are fine. They are just taking someone to the hospital."
"That's good." The three men said in unison, and then patted their chests to soothe their hearts that were about to jump out.
"Thank you." Du Yuanxiu saluted and jumped into the jeep. Amidst the soldiers' return salutes, he drove to the military sub-district hospital.
They soon arrived at the military sub-district hospital. Du Yuanxiu took action again. Using his officer ID, the three of them entered the hospital smoothly.
With Du Yuanxiu's military officer certificate as a guide, the three of them quickly found out Du Wanying's whereabouts.
Even when the three of them entered the hospital office, Du Wanying was still dialing Xu Wenhan's home number.
It just so happened that Xu Wenhan's father had an emergency meeting today and had not returned home yet.
"Little sister! Yu'er! Sister-in-law!"
"Little sister! Big sister-in-law! Second sister-in-law!"
"Wanying!"
Of course, the last person who called out "Wanying" was Xu Wenhan. The moment he called out, the two men from the Du family turned around and glared at him at the same time, and then the two men came forward together.
Xu Wenhan shuddered involuntarily after being glared at like that.
But in my heart I felt wronged and thought: "I worked so hard to bring you here, and now you just left me behind after finding the person."
"Second brother, third brother, Comrade Xu, why are you here?"
Du Wanying was so happy to see the three of them that she almost jumped in front of her second and third brothers.
Du Yuanxiu touched Du Wanying's head lovingly and said softly, "You didn't come home so late and didn't even call to tell me. You don't know how worried your family is."
Du Wanying stuck out her tongue and said, "Second brother, I've been calling you all the time, but I can't get through."
"Yes, we beat his family." Du Wanying pointed at Xu Wenhan.
Xu Wenhan also scratched his head and said, "I just followed him out. My dad is not home tonight."
"Okay, okay, as long as you're safe."
"Second brother, let me tell you."
"Let's go home first. We can talk on the way if we have anything to say."
"Yes, yes, my parents must be worried to death at home."
Soon, Du Wanying found the soldier who brought them here, said something, and jumped into the jeep to go home.
But the jeep only had five seats, and there were six of them.
Xu Wenhan is the driver and his seat cannot be moved, so the other five people have to squeeze in.
The third brother was a little carsick again, so the passenger seat should be reserved for him.
So the only ones left in the back row were Du Wanying, the eldest sister-in-law, the second brother and Bai Yuer.
Bai Yuer was shy and didn't know what to say.
In the end, it was Du Wanying who made the final decision.
"I'll sit in the middle, and the eldest sister-in-law will sit next to me. Second sister-in-law, you can squeeze in with the second brother and sit on his lap, okay?"
Seeing that there was no better way, Bai Yuer nodded shyly. After all, in her heart, she was already Du Yuanxiu's.
The second brother blushed when he heard this. Although he had been with Bai Yuer for a long time, their intimate contact was limited to holding hands. He even kissed her mouth only once in secret, and he withdrew as soon as he touched her, like a dragonfly touching the water. But the tingling feeling like an electric shock was still unforgettable to him.
Du Wanying winked at her second brother, as if to say, "Second brother, I'm helping you."
The jeep was quite narrow at that time, and it was very crowded for three people to sit in the back seat. Fortunately, Du Wanying and Tang Xiao were not very fat, but Bai Yuer had no choice but to sit firmly on Du Yuanxiu's legs.
Bai Yu'er sat down shyly, but Du Yuanxiu's face had turned purple, and he didn't know where to put his hands, so he could only sit upright as if meditating.
Du Wanying and Tang Xiao couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.
After everyone was seated, Xu Wenhan started the car and headed straight for Huairen County.
As soon as the car started, everyone started talking except for two people who were still shy.
"Little sister, what's going on with you today?"
The one who asked the question was the third brother Du Yuanzhan. Upon hearing this, Xu Wenhan also put his ears back.
"Today, Comrade Xu had just dropped us off when we were robbed! And then..."
Du Wanying was about to continue when she heard Bai Yuer yell, "Du Yuanxiu, can you please take out the flashlight in your trouser pocket? It's killing me!"
