"Teng Pingmao's last meritorious service will not be announced until three years later."
"There's nothing to criticize about this... If you focus on this, you'll probably end up getting slapped in the face."
"Besides, even if there are problems, it will take three years to reveal them. And the parliamentarians' vote is at the end of this year. We can't wait..."
Xia Chujian said, "Don't you have any internal connections in the Zong family? Can you find out this inside information?"
Hu Tu shook his head. "We tried, but couldn't find anything. The Zong family also has high-ranking officials in the military. They reportedly asked someone to inquire about it in a roundabout way, and the message they gave us was that there's no problem."
Xia Chujian lowered her eyes and said, "How could a soldier with a bright future in the army, promoted to colonel at the age of 31, suddenly retire? Did he give a reason?"
Hu Tu said, "Yes, Teng Pingmao said it at a campaign rally. He said he was injured in his last battle and his body was seriously damaged. He is not fit to continue serving in the army."
"Besides, he published all his medical records."
"Tsk tsk, you have no idea how cunning this guy is!"
"Every one of his medical records is a report of his injuries, showing how much he sacrificed for this country!"
Xia Chujian said, "Oh, what about the last battle? Is there a casualty report?"
Hu Tu spread his hands and said, "No, the injury report from the last battle, along with his meritorious service record, has been classified as confidential and will not be released until three years later."
In other words, Teng Pingmao did not intend to conceal the truth, because three years later, everyone would see the truth.
This is really not something unusual.
This situation is very common in the military.
For example, all military achievements of members of the Special Security Bureau will remain confidential until fifty years after their death, at which time they will be declassified.
Everyone is used to this situation.
Hu Tu couldn't see what was wrong with this.
But Xia Chujian had a hunch that something was wrong.
There was something wrong with First Starfleet, and the timing of his retirement.
Xia Chujian asked, "After he retired, were his military achievements and injury reports sealed by the military?"
Hu Tu said, "Yes, even the First Interstellar Fleet doesn't have any archives. It's directly stored in the military's General Information Department."
Xia Chujian said, "Give me two weeks and I'll deal with this person, but I need a contract."
Hu Tu was dumbfounded. "Contract? What kind of contract do you need? Didn't you say you didn't agree to be a contractual girlfriend?"
Xia Chujian turned to look at Zong Ruoan and said, "Master Zong, isn't your campaign team centered around you? Can this Mr. Hu Tu really be your boss?"
Zong Ruoan thought to himself that this was the best campaign manager in the entire empire.
If it weren't for the relationship with his mother, Her Royal Highness the Princess, he, a political novice, might not be able to be invited even if he came from the top aristocratic clan.
Zong Ruoan frowned and said, "It's my first meeting. Mr. Hu is the best campaign manager in the entire empire. I respect the opinions of professionals."
Xia Chujian understood.
She thought she would also need to seek professional advice.
She wanted to help Zong Ruoan, but that didn't mean she agreed to put herself in endless danger.
So, she had to have guarantees on paper, and she didn't trust that Mr. Hutu.
Hu Tu didn't expect that Xia Chujian, a commoner, would not back down in front of Zong Ruoan, a top aristocrat and super handsome man.
Although he admired her attitude of "what is is what is", he also hated her attitude of "what is is what is".
Hu Tu said with a forced smile, "Ms. Xia, you are already eighteen years old, right?"
Xia Chujian nodded: "Yes, if you are not over 18 years old, you are digging your own graves by coming up with this stupid idea!"
Hu Tu was stunned by her choking. After a while, he said angrily, "Since you are already over 18 years old, verbal promise is legal. How about we make a verbal promise?"
