"That woman is really skilled; I bet she's been learning martial arts since she was a child."
The speaker was a young man in his early twenties. He and his companion standing next to him were both wearing military uniforms. Well, these two were actually the soldiers who shared a private room with Song Lan.
"You have a keen eye for detail."
Wang Junpeng glanced at his subordinates, then turned and walked towards the private room.
"What's the meaning?"
Du Xiaolei stared at Wang Junpeng's back, his family's battalion commander, and was a little confused.
However, he didn't think much of it and strode after Wang Junpeng.
"Battalion Commander! Battalion Commander, can't you slow down a bit?!"
Du Xiaolei muttered to himself, but received no response from Wang Junpeng.
Are you a shorty?
The implication is that it's normal to be short and slow-walking, but are you?
Understanding the implication in Wang Junpeng's words, Du Xiaolei objected, saying, "Battalion Commander, you're 183 cm tall, and I'm only two centimeters shorter than you. You're quite tall, not short at all."
Wang Junpeng chuckled.
"You're looking down on me!"
Du Xiaolei was depressed.
The reason he traveled back to his base alone with the battalion commander this time, and in sleeper berths no less, was because the battalion commander had been seriously injured during a recent mission.
They couldn't be moved around easily, so they stayed at the local military hospital until they were almost fully recovered before heading back to their own post.
To prevent the wound from reopening on the return trip, I bought two sleeper tickets on the doctor's advice.
He originally wanted to buy the lower bunk, but the battalion commander stopped him, saying that no one could be given special treatment and that his health was fine and the upper bunk would not affect him.
Really not?
He doesn't believe it!
But the battalion commander insisted that he be allowed to make the purchase as normal.
That is, what you buy is what you get.
It doesn't matter which berth it is, upper, middle, or lower.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to buy a middle bunk, which meant his battalion commander wouldn't have to climb one floor higher.
Say what you want.
As an aside, Wang Junpeng's family is from Beijing. He is a child of a high-ranking official, and he is the same age as Chen Dongsheng and Zhao Yunzhen, and they grew up in the same compound.
His other identity is related to Fu Jinheng.
Half-brothers!
That's right, he is the eldest son of Fu Jinheng's stepfather. Because he had a lot of opinions about his father's second marriage, he rarely went home after joining the army, and his relationship with Fu Jinheng and his siblings, as well as his half-brother Wang Junchi, was just so-so.
Du Xiaolei suddenly sighed, "Ah! What a pity!"
Wang Junchi paused slightly before continuing on his way.
He didn't intend to watch the commotion, but the noise coming from the corridor was too loud, and out of professional ethics, he wanted to go and see what was going on.
To my surprise, I witnessed the scene from before.
He was planning to make a move, but before he could act, the seemingly delicate woman in his eyes subdued the mother and son in no time.
His skills are indeed quite good, just as Du Xiaolei said.
Clean and efficient, without any hesitation or delay!
"Aren't you going to ask me what I'm regretting?"
Du Xiaolei's smile was particularly meaningful.
"Tell me or don't, it's up to you!"
Wang Junpeng threw out a sentence.
"I'll talk, I'll talk, okay? Can you please turn your coldness off a bit?"
Du Xiaolei, somewhat obsequiously, sidled up to Wang Junpeng and whispered, "I think that woman and you, Battalion Commander, are a perfect match..."
"Shut up!"
Wang Junpeng's face darkened immediately: "Do you know what you're saying?"
Du Xiaolei hung his head and said, "I know I was wrong, please don't be angry!"
"That's disrespectful to women and it's also looking down on me, understand?"
He is still unmarried, but that doesn't mean he's immoral or would have any designs on a married woman.
"Understood, I promise it won't happen again!"
Du Xiaolei regretted it. Why couldn't he control his mouth and joke about such things?
He heard clearly that the woman was married, and the boy who shared a room with them called her "sister-in-law"!
"Would you two like to go in?"
Song Lan and Qin Boyan returned to their private room from the police station, but were stopped by two tall and imposing figures outside the door. Upon seeing this, Song Lan's clear voice rang out.
"Oh? Let's go in, let's go in right now!"
Du Xiaolei smiled politely at Song Lan, then tugged at Wang Junpeng's sleeve.
Remind the other person to go into the private room quickly and stop standing outside the door daydreaming.
Wang Junchi was gazing out the car window, lost in thought, perhaps too engrossed in his reflections to notice anyone approaching.
Suddenly, Du Xiaolei tugged at his sleeve. He frowned slightly and glanced at the other man with displeasure. When he realized that Du Xiaolei was blocking Song Lan and her aunt's way outside the private room, he immediately moved aside.
"I'm so sorry! I was lost in thought and didn't see anyone coming. I'm really sorry!"
After hearing the other party's apology, Song Lan shook her head: "It's nothing."
She and Qin Boyan entered the private room.
"Sister-in-law, what happened before was too dangerous. You should have called me over loudly. If something had really happened to you, my brother would have beaten me to death!"
Sitting down in Qin Yaqing's bunk, Qin Boyan stared straight at Song Lan with a serious expression.
Song Lan sat on her bunk. Hearing this, a smile appeared in her bright eyes: "Don't make your older brother sound so violent! Besides, is it necessary to go to all this trouble when I can handle it myself?"
"Sister-in-law, you didn't go to the restroom, did something bad happen?"
Qin Yaqing's eyes were filled with doubt.
"Encountering human traffickers is not a big deal."
