Chapter 223: I used to be the battalion commander’s soldier [Update 1]

Zhou Dongmeng stepped forward with his long legs and came in front of him.

Xiao Tao, who was wearing a cotton vest, looked at the man coming over, rushed over excitedly and hugged him, choking with sobs, "Battalion Commander!!"

Zhou Dong patted him on the back: "Okay, okay."

He let go of her hand, his eyes sparkling with surprise, and he couldn't believe his eyes: "Captain, why are you here?"

Xiao Tao paused for a moment and then responded: "You retired from the army?"

Zhou Dong nodded fiercely: "Yeah."

He was thinking about Chen Xiang, so he turned around and waved to the little girl, signaling her to follow him. When he saw her walking towards him, he straightened his body and asked in a deep voice, "What kind of work are you doing now?"

Xiao Tao smiled and said, "After I was discharged from the army, I was assigned to the Public Security Bureau and became a police officer. I will be working for the government from now on."

"What about you, Battalion Commander? Where are you assigned?"

Zhou Dongmeng said frankly: "I am working on a construction site now. In my spare time, I help your sister-in-law sell sweet potatoes and do some small business."

"I didn't expect this to happen when I went to buy food. Luckily I came back in time. By the way, Xiao Tao, what are you going to do with these people?"

Xiao Tao was startled at first: "Captain, you..."

The battalion commander used to be such an excellent soldier, but now he just works on a construction site?

What happened?

If the job transfer is normal, the battalion commander will at least be a city-level cadre...

But it was not convenient for him to continue to ask about this matter. Xiao Tao pursed his lips, looked around the wall, and said seriously: "Don't worry, Captain. My colleague is in front. He and I will send these people back to the police station. During this period, a group of robbers often appeared. My colleague and I were also on patrol. This time they ran into trouble."

Zhou Dongmeng frowned and said bluntly: "Today's matter may not be so simple."

"Hmm? Commander, you mean..."

The man pointed at one of the men and said in a cold voice, "I've seen that man before. He's on our construction site and seems to be connected to our foreman Haozi. Coincidentally, I had a conflict with this foreman a few days ago. I suspect he brought these people here on purpose."

Xiao Tao frowned: "So there is such a thing..."

"It's okay, Captain. Once these hooligans are in police custody, we'll make them confess everything. If that foreman is really involved, we'll definitely not let him go."

Zhou Dong nodded fiercely, but his expression was still not good.

At this time, Chen Xiang had already walked over. She stood behind the man and buried her whole face in his back. She was completely exhausted at this point, her hands and feet were weak, and her mind was in a mess. Even though she was safe now, the little heart in her chest was still beating very fast.

Zhou Dong glanced back, then reached out and silently held her cold little hand.

Xiao Tao, who was sitting opposite him, tilted his head, looked behind him, and greeted him with a smile: "Is this my sister-in-law?"

Chen Xiang heard this and stepped forward: "Hello."

"Hello, sister-in-law, I'm Xiao Tao. I used to be a soldier under the battalion commander. The battalion commander and I are the only two from Changling in the entire unit. The battalion commander took good care of me and even saved my life. If you need me in the future, just go to the county public security bureau to find me."

The young man in front of me was smiling and kind, but his eyes were bright and he also revealed a sense of seriousness. He was tall and thin, but the muscular outlines on his shoulders and arms were clearly visible.

You can tell at a glance that he is a soldier.
