Chapter 719: Please pay attention!
Gu Yin and Duan Jianchun didn't have much to say to each other. As for work-related matters, they were all confidential and couldn't be discussed. As for personal matters, the two weren't very familiar with each other.
Seeing Xiao Jie come over, Gu Yin said, "We've added two more people. When you're cooking noodles later, add some extra noodles."
Xiao Jie didn't want to face Duan Jianchun at the moment, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand." Then he quickly walked towards the captain.
Gu Yin was surprised. Before, every word this person spoke to her carried a certain meaning, and he was very sarcastic. Why was he so well-behaved now?
Gu Yin was still thinking when she saw Li Dalong bring over a medicine box.
"Commander, may I take a look at the wound on your forehead?"
Duan Chunjie shook his head upon hearing this: "It's just a stone, it's nothing."
After saying that, he reached out and touched the spot where he had been hit. Well, it was swollen.
Gu Yin also looked over and saw that there was a swelling on the other person's forehead near the hairline, with scratches on the skin and blood vessels already emerging.
"What happened? Let's get it treated quickly. We don't know when the rain will stop, and it's not good if it gets infected later," Gu Yin asked, puzzled.
Duan Chunjie took a deep breath, sat down, and looked at Li Dalong: "Then help me disinfect it."
Then, looking at Gu Yindao, he said helplessly and angrily, "Just now by the lake, I was hit by a rock. I thought it fell from the sky or was a problem with the lake. I was so scared. It turned out that Xiao Jie kicked me! You know, he's in his twenties or thirties and still so impulsive! He has nothing to do all day and just wanders around like a fool! Isn't it normal that the academicians don't want him? You're not their student, you don't have outstanding achievements, you're not their child, and you're unwilling to lower yourself to cheat. You're not hardworking either. Zhengtai is just making things worse. You change teams every time you're rejected. Who can afford to hire someone like that?"
The rain was so heavy at the time, and he was wearing a raincoat while observing the lake. He didn't hear the sound of the stone flying over, and by the time he heard it, it was too late to avoid it. He was a little embarrassed to tell Gu Yin that he had reached this position and couldn't even avoid a stone, which was a stain on his career!
Duan Chunjie became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it.
Gu Yin was astonished. This was actually Xiao Jie's doing! Wow, unbeatable!
Xiao Jie was just about to come over when he heard Duan Chunjie's words. He stopped in his tracks, pursed his lips, and turned back to do other things.
Gu Yin and Gu Duan watched him quietly during the Spring Festival without saying a word.
After Li Dalong finished fixing things for the leader, he quickly went over to help as well.
"When will this rain stop?" Gu Yin asked softly, looking at the waterlogged ground.
Duan Chunjie looked at Gu Yin upon hearing this. The little girl was fair-skinned and tender, about the same age as his daughter. His daughter, at that age, would still act spoiled with her grandparents and sulk with him, truly having the mentality of a little girl. But Gu Yin, at her age, had already come to work at this important base. Her young face showed no trace of a little girl's spoiledness, but rather composure and calmness.
The environment here is quite harsh right now. It's normal to be scared when there's torrential rain in the mountains. Duan Chunjie's tone softened unconsciously as he smiled and said, "The professors said they expected it to rain until evening, but the weather here is not very stable and the altitude is high. If you haven't returned by 8 pm in bad weather, they will send someone to pick you up. You don't need to worry."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin looked at Duan Chunjie and asked, "Are you staying here tonight too?"
Duan Chunjie nodded: "There are people patrolling the entire lakeside, and we need more people to be stationed here long-term. Further in, there are our troops. You can go and take a look when the weather is clear. If we don't consider special circumstances, this mountain is actually very safe."
Special circumstances include wild animals, natural disasters, or that strange lake, etc.
Gu Yin's heart skipped a beat: "001, when I was collecting water from the lake, was it discovered?"
001: "Don't worry, you weren't discovered. The place you were in before was quite close to the base, so there weren't any people guarding it. After all, if staff were coming and going, they would have been discovered. Their patrol team is quite a distance away from here, so you don't need to worry."
Gu Yin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
The noodles were cooked quickly, and the captain waved to them, "Come and eat your noodles!"
Duan Chunjie stood up: "Let's go, let's get something to eat first."
The rain intensified, and the temperature in the mountains began to drop slowly.
"Ah Yin, are you cold? Here are some warm clothes, I'll go get them for you!" Li Dalong looked at Gu Yin and stood up with concern.
Duan Chunjie nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, yes, Dalong, go get Comrade Zhou some warm clothes. He can't stand sitting here until evening!"
Gu Yin quickly shook her head upon hearing this: "Don't worry, I'm not cold. My down jacket is waterproof and windproof, and it will automatically heat up when the temperature is low. You don't need to worry, just give it to the commander."
The windbreakers she and the captain were wearing were bought by Zhou Wansheng from a laboratory abroad. In the extremely cold weather, such a thin jacket was enough to keep out all the cold, so she didn't feel cold at the moment.
Upon hearing this, Li Dalong sat down and said with a smile, "The clothes we're wearing are also made of special fabric, so we're not cold right now."
Xiao Jie, who was shivering from the cold, remained silent upon hearing this. Was he the only one who was cold?
Duan Chunjie, sitting opposite him, felt the table shaking from his movements. Speechless, he scolded, "Can't you talk when you're cold? Don't you know to get some clothes? Are you shaking like this because you're afraid we won't see you or what? You're a young man in your twenties or thirties, your temper is at its peak, and you're shaking like this after only a short time of eating! Embarrassing!"
Xiao Jie was speechless. You weren't acting like this with Zhou Guyin just now! Isn't this double standard a bit too much?
He was internally complaining, but dared not say it aloud. He quickly got up and nodded hurriedly, "No, I'm sorry, I'll go right now!" After saying that, he hurriedly walked towards the area where the items were stored.
After Gu Yin watched him walk away, she turned to the captain and asked, "Do you know anything about him?"
The bodyguard captain glanced at Duan Chunjie upon hearing this, then nodded: "I have investigated. What he told you in the car earlier is indeed true. I checked his situation at school and after he left school. His current emotions and body language are no different from before, but I feel that he is not simple. Based on my many years of experience, I am sure that there is something wrong with him."
Duan Chunjie's eyes immediately sharpened as he looked at the captain and said in a deep voice, "Anyone who enters the base will have their entire family history investigated. This kid's personality is probably just like that. There shouldn't be anything unusual about him, as the captain claims. Investigating the personal information of our citizens without official permission is illegal. As the captain, you should abide by our country's laws and regulations when you come here. I hope you remember this. This time, the situation is special, so I won't report it or pursue it further. But if I find out again, I won't stand idly by."
The captain looked at Gu Yin and shrugged; he knew this would happen.
Then, looking at Duan Chunjie, he chuckled and said, "I am currently considered a staff member of the base. If I discover any abnormalities among the members, I can investigate and collect evidence on my own to avoid alerting them before reporting to my superiors. As for the things you are worried about, Chief Duan, I'm sorry, I have no interest in them. I am very valuable, and I don't just take action against any Tom, Dick, or Harry!"
Duan Chunjie nodded nonchalantly: "That's why I said I wouldn't pursue this matter."
Captain: "..." No wonder all mercenary groups in the world hate, find annoying, and least want to deal with the Chinese army! Difficult to handle! Sharp-tongued! United! Fearless! Not to be trifled with! Once you mess with them, it's a fight to the death! The kind of thing you can't shake off once you're involved! Many mercenaries pretend not to see their targets if they're from China.
Gu Yin coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Chief. The captain is currently working at my house. He follows my and my grandfather's orders in all his actions. He will never do anything that he shouldn't do."
Seeing Xiao Jie arrive, Duan Chunjie glanced at Li Dalong, then said nothing more.
