Chapter 301 Triumphant Return
Although the existence of Special Operations Bureau 9 is little known, they have provided support for the logistical work of many strategic locations with their exceptional skills.
They saved the crucial 602 Hill and rescued some heroes who should have sacrificed their lives.
And without anyone knowing, they thwarted a shocking enemy plot.
Although their contributions are not widely known, they have made indelible contributions to the victory in the war and to maintaining peace in the motherland.
After the war, the members of Special Operations Bureau 9 chose to continue living in anonymity, and their names and deeds were rarely mentioned in public.
However, Jiang Ruzhen knew that their heroic actions and outstanding contributions would be forever remembered by those who knew about them.
On that special twilight, as the last military vehicle disappeared off the border, the members of Special Operations Bureau 9 stood quietly in their concealed base, gazing south.
That was the direction of their homeland; they had a deep love for that land and its people.
——
The personnel from the Ninth Special Operations Bureau returned to Beijing on a special plane.
This time, when Jiang Ruzhen went to deliver the mission with her senior brothers, she was not stopped by anyone.
All the guards stood at attention and saluted them as they approached from afar, their eyes filled with excitement and admiration.
Old Li, accompanied by his secretary, stood smiling at the door to personally welcome their triumphant return.
The behavior of these guards was deliberately orchestrated by Old Li through his secretary, who then publicized the deeds of the Ninth Special Operations Bureau.
Although the state cannot give these heroes any public rewards, nor can it publicize their great achievements in any media.
However, we cannot allow them to be misunderstood and questioned by the Chinese people after they have performed earth-shattering heroic deeds.
These guards were all carefully selected elites, and their admiration should be the best comfort and reward for the comrades in the Ninth Bureau.
Jiang Ruzhen and the others stepped forward, and Old Li shook hands with each of them.
"You've worked hard, comrades!"
"Serve the people." Without a second thought, Jiang Ruzhen solemnly and loudly proclaimed this slogan that she often heard during military parades.
Um?
The surroundings were silent. Old Li, Secretary Li, and several senior colleagues from the Ninth Bureau were all stunned for a moment.
Then, after looking at each other for a moment, they suddenly burst into laughter.
Jiang Ruzhen grinned sheepishly; it was just a conditioned reflex for her!
I'm sure everyone can understand.
Old Li looked at Jiang Ruzhen with gentle and kind eyes. "Comrade Jiang, Zheng Xin and your third senior brother have told me about what you did on the border."
Well done! Women are just as capable as men. On behalf of the people, I express my deepest gratitude to you.
As he spoke, Old Li was about to bow to her, which startled Jiang Ruzhen, and she quickly stepped aside.
He reached out and helped Old Li up, saying excitedly, "No, no, leader, this is what we Ninth Bureau people should do."
Old Li was even more pleased with Jiang Ruzhen's answer; this woman was highly conscious!
Remain calm and composed, without being arrogant or impatient.
It's a good piece of material.
Hearing the leader's praise, Jiang Ruzhen felt elated, and an unparalleled sense of accomplishment welled up within her.
Hehe, she's someone who's been praised by the top leader.
It was worth it for her to have taken this second chance in this world.
She has both a career and a love life, and will eventually be able to use her special abilities to do something useful for the country and the people.
It was a momentous occasion, a fulfilling life.
After they left that mysterious leadership compound, the senior members returned to the Ninth Bureau.
Jiang Ruzhen took a detour to see Shen Shuxin first. As soon as Shen Shuxin saw Jiang Ruzhen, she rushed over to her, laughing and crying at the same time.
"Mom, where did you go? I was so worried about you."
"Didn't I leave you a letter when I went on a trip?" Jiang Ruzhen was also a little excited, hugging her daughter tightly.
"But you've been gone for more than four months, and you even missed your wedding with Uncle Lu. It's strange, Uncle Lu said he went on a mission, but we haven't seen him since."
You two are being so secretive, I'd think you eloped!
Shen Shuxin grumbled and complained, clinging to Jiang Ruzhen and refusing to let go.
Jiang Ruzhen found her words amusing; after all, she had eloped with Lu Mingzheng.
They almost went to the underworld together.
However, all the hardships are over, and they will definitely be alright from now on.
"To be honest, I did run into your Uncle Lu on the road," Jiang Ruzhen said mysteriously.
"Huh? Really?" Shen Shuxin believed it.
"Yes, I saw your Uncle Lu on a mission, so I didn't disturb him. But he told me the mission would be over soon and he'd be back in a few days."
"That's great. When Uncle Lu comes back this time, our whole family must have a proper get-together. You were all away during the Spring Festival, and it was so boring spending it with my older brothers, sisters-in-law, and me!"
The two couples are so loving and affectionate, and I'm the only single guy here. It's so cruel!
"Where's Xie Hui? He hasn't come back? Didn't you two make up? He's not your boyfriend anymore!" Jiang Ruzhen asked.
"No, ever since he went to the space city, he can only come back to see me once every two or three months. And every time we meet, it's always in a rush. What's the difference between having a boyfriend and not having one?"
I told him that since we're both busy, let's just stay friends and talk about becoming a couple after I graduate!
"You!" Jiang Ruzhen shook her head and poked Shen Shuxin's forehead with her finger. "Just keep acting up. Only Xie Hui in this world can put up with you."
"Hehe..." Shen Shuxin chuckled foolishly.
After seeing her daughter, Jiang Ruzhen returned to her studio.
After tidying herself up, she went to see her close friend Lu Chuyao, who was much older than her.
Lu Chuyao was overjoyed to see her return.
Just then, Lu Xingchen returned from Shenzhen to visit, and the three of them ate together, sharing their recent experiences.
Lu Chuyao said that after hearing that Jiang Ruzhen was going on a trip, she really wanted to go with her.
As a result, when they finished packing their things and went to find Jiang Ruzhen, they found that she had already left.
Accompanied by her housekeeper and nanny, she also began a nationwide tour, hoping to unexpectedly run into Jiang Ruzhen.
Unfortunately, we weren't meant to be this time.
She had only recently returned, but unexpectedly they met again in the capital.
Lu Xingchen then described the situation of his real estate company in Shenzhen, saying that everything was on track and the company had already started to make a profit.
Lu Xingchen was very satisfied with the amount, after all, this was a project he had completed independently.
Jiang Ruzhen and Lu Chuyao both praised it.
Lu Chuyao held Jiang Ruzhen's hand and brought up the matter of the Hong Kong Island Jewelry Company again, hoping that Jiang Ruzhen would provide raw materials once more.
Without saying a word, Jiang Ruzhen returned to the studio and brought Lu Chuyao three pieces of material that performed exceptionally well.
Lu Chuyao was anxious, so he immediately led her to the processing master, who cut out a piece of top-quality imperial green jade on the spot.
There was also a piece of glass-type red jadeite that cost an astronomical price and a piece of royal purple jadeite that was violet in color.
Jiang Ruzhen's account received direct deposits exceeding nine figures.
Even without the income from the clothing company, she would still be considered the richest woman in China.
I have achieved complete financial freedom.
Next, everyone became concerned about her marriage.
Jiang Ruzhen smiled but remained silent. Lu Chuyao then mentioned that when Jiang Ruzhen got married, they would renovate the courtyard house they were currently living in and use it as her wedding room.
In the following days, Jiang Ruzhen's life returned to normal.
After taking care of the wounded in the space for a few days, Lu Mingzheng and the assault team members gradually recovered.
She sent the commando team members to the First Military Region Hospital for follow-up treatment, while keeping Lu Mingzheng by her side to continue taking care of him.
As soon as Lu Mingzheng regained consciousness, he called home to let his family know he was safe.
This phone call acted like a fuse, bringing everyone to the forefront.
Bai Jing rushed to the capital with her family on a plane that very day.
After seeing that Lu Mingzheng was alright, they invited the entire Jiang family—men, women, and children—to dine in the most expensive private room at the hotel.
More than twenty people from both families brought up the marriage proposal again.
