Chapter 124 The Lost Captain



365: [Adults make choices, can't kids have it all right now?]

That's right!

Choose Custom.

It should have the ambiance of a bamboo house and the comfort and practicality of a villa, with several low-rise Chinese-style courtyard houses behind the main house for the little ones to live in.

The futuristic-style room is perfect for when we have kids.

Ruan Xianxian was very satisfied with the house she designed, but when she saw the price, her face darkened!

Forget it! Money is worthless, I'll earn more when I run out.

After clicking to confirm the purchase, the next moment, Ruan Xianxian was lightly transported 10 meters away by the white mist that suddenly rose from beneath her feet.

However, the entire plot of land she had designated for housing was covered by thick fog.

She stood up, patted her bottom as if nothing had happened, put her hands behind her back, and walked to the side of the house site. How could a bamboo house be complete without a pond?

Between an ordinary fishpond and a ethereal lake, she decisively chose to purchase a primary spiritual spring.

[Elementary Spiritual Spring]: Improves physical condition and accelerates crop growth.

The spring is placed not far from the bamboo house, and after a period of time, it will naturally form a lotus pond.

With the spiritual spring water for irrigation, there's no need to buy black soil to accelerate plant growth; it's all done in one step.

They all said that it would take another day to build the house.

Ruan Xianxian decisively took Da Huang out of the space to take a bath, and the dog kept whimpering.

He clearly doesn't like taking baths.

Her upper body was lifted up by Ruan Xianxian, but her two hind legs clung tightly to the threshold, refusing to go in no matter what.

Sure enough, no beating was for nothing with its former owner!

But his strength was no match for Ruan Xianxian's forcefulness. He was dragged and carried into the toilet and washed clean from head to toe.

The dog stared at the two-legged creature in front of it, then swung its body forcefully... whoosh whoosh whoosh!

"rhubarb!"

The dog ran around the room twice, looking quite playful. Just as it was about to jump onto the bed to cause trouble, Ruan Xianxian grabbed it by the scruff of the neck and threw it into the space.

"Have a safe journey."

Ruan Xianxian, her face full of resentment, took another shower.

As the sky outside began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, she changed into her own hand-sewn cotton pajamas, obediently lay down in bed, and closed her eyes to sleep.

Having learned from the front desk that Ruan Xianxian had only returned late at night, Mu Xia and her two companions did not go upstairs to disturb her. At lunchtime, the four of them gathered at the restaurant.

They stared at each other, and the first thing they said was, "Where's the captain?"

After saying that, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

Where is their entire captain?

Only after asking did I learn that Ruan Xianxian had also left without saying goodbye that day when she disguised herself as Zheng Hongkuan. She remembered that she had told Xiaxia to pick up the captain.

It was actually just a mental exercise.

Mu Xia, who had not received any message, assumed that she had gone to pick up the person herself.

And so, the two sides, in tacit agreement, put Xiang Hongjun out of their minds. Zhao Di looked at the two awkward figures and said:

"Didn't we give Uncle Xiang our address and phone number? Even if no one picks him up at the station, he can find his way here himself, right?"

As they were talking, a staff member from the restaurant approached Ruan Xianxian: "The Public Security Bureau has called to tell you to go to the station to pick up your team leader."

Looking completely bewildered, Ruan Xianxian gave a thumbs up: "Uncle Xiang is amazing, coming to the provincial capital and getting himself into trouble."

...

Meanwhile, the provincial bureau—

The young bureau chief personally escorted the father and daughter to the gate, shaking hands with the Red Army soldier to express his gratitude once again.

"We will need your help to perfectly capture this group of elusive human traffickers who are roaming all over the country."

Without Comrade Lao Xiang's insight and Comrade Xiao Xiang's selfless act, countless families would have suffered. On behalf of the people of Heilongjiang Province, I thank you and your daughter for your help.

He stood at attention and saluted the Red Army: "If there is a war, I will be called back to serve the people."

The young bureau chief returned the salute solemnly, and couldn't help but admire that even after retiring from the military for many years, he still had the same passion for the country.

He put his hand down and asked casually, "Where are you going? I can lend you and your daughter a bicycle from the bureau."

The bureau's bicycles are used for official business. The captain didn't respond, but instead pulled a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and said:

"Could you please contact the people above me? They'll be coming to pick us up."

The bureau chief recognized the number on the paper; it was the phone number for the Lakeside Hotel. He said he would contact them shortly.

Xiang Hongjun inadvertently caught his daughter's gaze following the bureau chief's retreating figure, frowned, and tried to distract her:

"Nuan Nuan, you must be frightened. You won't be able to sleep comfortably in that big dormitory room at the guesthouse later."

"Fifty yuan reward for catching the human trafficker, and Dad will get you a private room."

Seeing that Xiang Nuan was staring at him without saying anything, Lao Xiang let out a "yo" and continued to try to make conversation:

"After being away for so many days, that troublemaker must be getting ostracized in the city. If you see anyone bullying the righteous people of our village, you go and kill those bastards."

He was performing a one-man show when a car with its front and rear wheels moving independently stopped in front of him.

The back seat door opened, and a familiar figure rushed out of the car first, hugging a large tree and vomiting.

The passenger side door opened, and Chu Li walked gracefully to the side to pat Mu Xia on the back as she retched.

"You just let her drive because she says so? You're spoiling this little brat so much, and now you're suffering."

Finally catching her breath, Mu Xia's eyes were filled with tears. She looked back at Ruan Xianxian in the driver's seat, who was still in a daze and hadn't come to her senses yet, and looked at her with sympathy.

The poor kid didn't even realize he was taking the blame for Chu Li, and he's still questioning his life!

Ruan Xianxian was indeed having some doubts about life. This car worked perfectly in every way except for the brakes, and the horn made noise everywhere but not in the brakes. But Chu Li had clearly driven it from the county town to the provincial capital.

Was it my driving skills that were wrong?

"Ahem!" The captain coughed lightly, finally bringing Ruan Xianxian back to her senses, and she flashed a bright white smile.

"Uncle, how did you get yourself into trouble? Did you get caught red-handed for peeping at an old lady using the toilet?"

"Pfft, cough cough cough!" This time, it was Xiang Nuan who choked on her saliva, her face full of admiration.

Ruan Xianxian's body trembled. She got out of the car and moved next to Mu Xia, whispering in a voice that everyone could hear: "The captain was caught peeping at the old lady while she was using the toilet. Pass this message down."

Xiang Hongjun originally intended to put on the airs of a battalion commander, having already advised himself beforehand not to bother with that little rascal.

After listening to her babbling nonsense, he couldn't hold back any longer, took off his shoes, and rushed over: "If I don't discipline you for three days, you'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles, looking at my shoes."

It wasn't until the five were on their way back that the captain revealed the reason for their lateness.

Everything was fine on the way here, but when we were about to get off the bus and line up to use the restroom, a woman carrying a child was acting suspiciously.

This aroused the suspicion of the veteran, who then staged a sting operation. He got out of the car and cooperated with the police to make the arrest. He had just finished giving his statement.

The captain, who had slightly raised his chin, did not receive the expected admiring gaze. He turned his head and saw that the guy was staring at him in shock.

"So, you really saw the old lady go to the toilet?"
