He Yanzhi then looked up at him and said in a deep voice, "Get to the point, what are you dawdling about?"
The driver jumped up and stood up straight. "Reporting, Commander! It was a few days ago when I took my wife to pick someone up, and I saw something."
He Yanzhi put down his pen and leaned back in his chair. "Hmm, what's wrong?"
"That day, my sister-in-law picked up two people: Comrade Bai Yun and Comrade Xi Mufan."
Xi Mufan?
He Yanzhi was unfamiliar with the name. "And then?"
"This Comrade Xi Mufan is my sister-in-law's good friend and classmate for many years. It seems he even brought her something special this time."
"What did you bring?" He Yanzhi's voice deepened.
"A rather thick book, which she said her sister-in-law had been unable to find. And...and a bag of dried apricots."
The driver's voice trailed off as he spoke, avoiding He Yanzhi's gaze.
The office was eerily quiet.
He Yanzhi tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice, each tap feeling like a blow to the driver's heart.
After a moment, He Yanzhi finally spoke, "That's all?"

"Understood." He Yanzhi waved his hand. "You can go now."
The driver had been gone for quite a while, but He Yanzhi stared at the document on the table, unable to concentrate on a single word.
The driver's words echoed repeatedly in his mind.
I brought it on purpose...
The book she couldn't find...
Dried apricots…
A moment later, he suddenly stood up, grabbed the military cap hanging on the coat rack, put it on his head, and quickly walked out of the office.
He borrowed a horse from the cavalry regiment and then asked Wang Dagui from the livestock station.
Knowing which direction Guan Wenru was in, he nimbly mounted his horse and shouted, "Giddy up!"
The black horse neighed, took off galloping towards the grassland, raising a cloud of dust in its wake.
Lu Guodong and Wang Dagui from the animal husbandry institute exchanged a glance and burst out laughing.
These newlyweds are so sweet; they couldn't wait to see each other after just returning from a mission.
