Chapter 203 Handing Over Cultural Relics
Having figured out Jiang Ruzhen's meaning, Lu Mingzheng finally felt more at ease.
The next day, he took the box of cultural relics he had found, drove to the Military Commission compound, found his superior Zhou Zheng, handed over the items, and also submitted his relationship report.
Zhou Zheng was somewhat surprised to receive the report and didn't even notice the box that Lu Mingzheng had brought.
"You're dating someone? When did that happen?"
This former subordinate has caused this old man a lot of worry. He's young, brave, and has a special family situation.
If it weren't for the Lu family of Hong Kong Island contributing both money and effort to the country before and after the liberation, who knows what faction this kid would have been labeled as, or perhaps he would have been locked up in a cowshed and suffered.
Regardless of his family background, this kid is truly outstanding in ability. The physical fitness and professional skills of the flight base he established are top-notch.
He quickly became a standout, and subsequently achieved numerous military exploits in various missions.
After he turned twenty-five, some parents came to his door wanting to take him home for blind dates, but this guy hid in his office for several days, insisting on pushing all the difficulties onto this old man to solve.
He also felt that men should prioritize their careers, but later Lu Mingzheng was discharged from the army due to injury and would never be able to get married for the rest of his life, and only then did he realize his regret.
He felt guilty about it because of this matter.
He really wanted to recall the man to continue serving the army, at least to give him a livelihood and prevent him from having wild thoughts.
I also want him to have something to rely on for the rest of his life. In case medicine advances someday, he can also get his hidden illness treated at a military hospital.
Unexpectedly, this kid was stubborn and refused to listen to reason, enduring it for more than three years before finally agreeing to return to the army recently.
And surprisingly, his injury healed, and he was able to fly again.
This spread like wildfire among these old guys, and he was eager to know how Lu Mingzheng's injuries had healed, but Lu Mingzheng wouldn't say a word.
Before he could even figure out what was going on, that brat Lu Mingzheng dropped another bombshell on him today.
This kid is actually in a relationship.
Although he has taken a liking to this young man and hopes he can have a family, surely he hasn't told the girl about his health condition?
"Xiao Lu, did you...you...did you tell the girl about your physical condition?" General Zhou, who was usually decisive and efficient, actually stammered when he asked.
“I told her. Don’t worry, sir, my girlfriend doesn’t care about these things. She’s older than me and has children. We’re just soulmates.”
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "Oh, that's good. At least a divorced woman won't look down on your body. But have you investigated her background?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingzheng was reluctant to respond and mumbled an "uh-huh".
"Her background is fine, it's just that..."
"What is it?" Zhou Zheng's heart was in his throat because of Lu Mingzheng's attitude. Could it be that the female comrade had some embarrassing identity?
That won't do. Lu Mingzheng is the future successor of the air force base that he has his eye on.
He couldn't just stand by and watch Lu Mingzheng make a mistake.
"Lu Mingzheng, tell us the truth about what happened."
Zhou Zheng slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and shot a sharp look at Lu Mingzheng.
Lu Mingzheng didn't answer his question, but instead pulled the box behind him open and showed it to Zhou Zheng, saying, "You'll see what my wife's abilities are based on your investigation results."
Don't ask me anything, I don't know anything.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Zheng was confused by Lu Mingzheng. He walked around the table and came to the box to examine it carefully.
After a long while, his hands began to tremble as he excitedly opened one box after another, each containing precious national treasures.
"What...what exactly is going on?"
Lu Mingzheng originally intended to remain silent, but his relationship report still revealed some information.
"It was from the crackdown on the Myanmar smuggling gang that my wife brought back from their hideout. I know nothing else."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zheng became even more excited and quickly returned to his table to make a phone call.
A few minutes later, Zhang Tao walked in.
He had just saluted Zhou Zheng and Lu Mingzheng, and before he could speak, he caught sight of the box on the ground out of the corner of his eye.
His eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately rushed forward to check each one, shouting excitedly.
"What's going on, sir! I thought these important cultural relics were going to be lost. How did they end up here?"
I only carried back a few things, and I felt incredibly guilty. What kind of hero did this, bringing back such a huge mess?
Zhou Zheng did not answer his question, but instead asked a question in return.
"Are you sure these are all important items for this mission?"
"I'm sure, sir. I've touched all of these things. We were short on time, so my brothers and I picked out a few of the most valuable-looking items and left."
Several of us were still feeling regretful about this for days!
"Alright, you can go now."
Zhou Zheng dismissed him, and Zhang Tao turned and left, his face full of doubt. But his mind was racing, and he really wanted to know who had done such a brilliant job of taking down the enemy's stronghold.
"Give me a straight answer. Does your wife have some kind of superpower? This is a major event concerning the fate of the nation. Don't try to fob me off with just three words of ignorance."
Zhou Zheng already had a guess in his mind, and looked at Lu Mingzheng with a serious expression.
Lu Mingzheng shrugged, adopting a nonchalant attitude, and said, "I really don't know, boss. My wife gave me these things this morning, and I was shocked too."
Why don't you investigate it yourselves?
Lu Mingzheng was clearly acting like a rogue, and Zhou Zheng angrily pointed at him with his finger, then picked up the phone on the table and mysteriously exchanged some coded messages for a while.
After the call was connected, an informal greeting came from the other end.
"Hey, Old Zhou, it's rare for you to call me. What's up? Do you want me to tell you when your second spring will arrive?"
“Wang the Madman, stop talking nonsense all day long and come here right now. There’s someone you need to investigate,” Zhou Zheng said in a serious tone.
"I know about this. The girl's background is fine, so let's take her in."
The person on the other end seemed to have expected this, and hung up after saying a few casual words. Zhou Zheng looked confused, but then full of admiration.
"As expected of the 666th generation successor of Master Guigu, he is simply like a god, with uncanny foresight."
Taking advantage of Zhou Zheng's still-lost thoughts, Lu Mingzheng said he was leaving and quickly turned to escape, otherwise he was afraid that Zhou Zheng would entangle him and he wouldn't be able to get away.
With Wang Fengzi's words, he believed that the people from the Ninth Special Operations Bureau would soon come knocking on his door, so he had to hurry back and tell his wife.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain if you scared someone.
He hurried back, but to his surprise, the people from the Ninth Special Operations Bureau were already at Jiang Ruzhen's doorstep.
