Originally he thought he could play in the village for a few days, but after dinner Zhou Yanjing received a call from the army.
The two men packed up their things overnight and rushed to the troops. It was already the next night when they arrived at the troops.
It was already dark. Fortunately, there were still a few eggs left at home, so I cooked two bowls of noodles and made do with dinner.
"Be careful when you take a shower, don't fall. I'll be back in a moment."
"good."
Zhou Yanjing was a little worried about her, holding the key in his hand, his eyes followed Shen Liwu's back as she walked into the bathroom. The bathroom door closed gently, and the sound of the faucet turning on was heard before he turned around and walked out of the house.
He went to meet the troops and the leader was still waiting for him in the office. Zhou Yanjing shouted "report" at the door and someone inside heard "come in".
Zhou Yanjing pushed open the door and walked in, saluting, "Reporting to the commander, the deputy commander of the 311th Regiment, Zhou Yanjing, has returned to the team."
The office was dimly lit, and the desk was piled with documents and maps. The night outside the window was dark, and only the searchlights on the distant watchtowers swept across from time to time, casting faint shadows.
The chief sat behind his desk, holding a document in his hand. He looked up at Zhou Yanjing with sharp and steady eyes.
"Sit down." His voice was low, with a hint of unquestionable command.
Zhou Yanjing sat down in front of the chair, his back straight, his eyes looking forward, waiting for the leader's instructions. The room was so quiet that the only sound could be heard was the ticking of a clock, and time seemed to be stretched out at this moment.
"I've urgently recalled you this time because there's an important mission that needs to be performed." The chief put down the documents in his hand and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a dull sound. His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was considering how to start his next words.
Zhou Yanjing's nerves immediately tensed up. He knew that a task that could make the leader so serious must be very important. He didn't ask, just waited quietly.
"The border has been in a mess recently. A group of armed elements have infiltrated across the border and are trying to create chaos in our territory." The chief's voice was very low, as if he was afraid that the wall could hear him.
"The Supreme Commander will come to inspect tomorrow. You are responsible for protecting his personal safety. I heard that the commander's inspection is related to your wife."
Zhou Yanjing's heart tightened and his brows knitted slightly. He raised his head and looked at the commander intently, his voice low and firm, "How could the commander's inspection be related to my wife?"
The chief did not answer immediately, but took out a document from the drawer and handed it to him.
Zhou Yanjing took it, flipped through it quickly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. The information mentioned that Shen Liwu's research project - on the special applications of venom - attracted great attention from his superiors, especially the top military officials.
"The commander's brother was poisoned during an overseas mission a few years ago and has not yet fully recovered. He wants to come and see your wife's research progress in person, perhaps she can find a way to detoxify." The chief's tone became slightly softer, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Zhou Yanjing's fingers stroked the edge of the document. The touch of the paper was rough, but it was nothing compared to the turmoil in his heart at the moment.
Shen Liwu's research has always been low-key, and he has never disclosed too many details to the public. But now it has been so ignored that it even involves the commander's family affairs.
"I understand. I will do my best to ensure the commander's safety." Zhou Yanjing stood up, his standard military posture showing his determination. "Commander, I have to inform my wife about this matter first. She may have some requirements or arrangements."
