Chapter 491 The brigade commander really cares about you
"During that battle, were you with Brigade Commander Xiao the whole time? Were you separated at any point? Did Brigade Commander Xiao have any contact with the enemy troops other than fighting?"
Su Jin's questioning voice carried an undisguised urgency.
Zheng Changqing was visibly taken aback. "Why would you ask that?"
Su Jin was eager to know the answer, but had no way to explain it.
"Captain, tell me!"
Zheng Changqing looked at her and frowned.
Her demeanor didn't seem like she simply wanted to learn about the brigade commander's past.
"No."
His answer was very straightforward.
Su Jin could hardly breathe. "Think about it carefully. Did you really never separate from Commander Xiao the entire time?"
It's impossible that they didn't separate. Kong Daqing clearly saw Xiao Yunfeng acting alone, and he wouldn't lie about something like that.
Zheng Changqing sensed something unusual in her tense voice and began to recall more seriously.
"Separate operations do occur."
His murmur made Su Jin's heart leap into her throat, and she stared intently at him.
"When the battle reached its final stage, the brigade commander divided the remaining men of the 7th Company into two small teams and launched a dispersed assault. I was not with the brigade commander at that time."
Zheng Changqing didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and after he finished speaking, he looked at her reaction.
Su Jin immediately pressed, "Is he alone?"
"How could that be? If I remember correctly, the brigade commander's squad had thirteen men."
At this moment, Zheng Changqing was completely certain that Su Jin was hiding something from him.
Su Jin's mind raced; she knew Zheng Changqing couldn't possibly be lying.
If Xiao Yunfeng always had someone by his side, he would never have had the opportunity to contact the enemy, let alone defect to the enemy.
But what about what Kong Daqing saw?
"Su Jin, you seem to care a lot about that battle?" Zheng Changqing began to probe.
With her thoughts somewhat confused, Su Jin nodded subconsciously, but a moment later she noticed Zheng Changqing's probing gaze and immediately explained, "I just want to know more about Commander Xiao. After all, we are more than ten years apart, and I want to know what he was like when he was young."
"Is that so?" Zheng Changqing was clearly already suspicious.
Su Jin disregarded all of that and asked one last question, "Do you remember who was with Commander Xiao back then?"
Zheng Changqing fell completely silent, his entire demeanor becoming extremely serious.
Su Jin took a deep breath and said in an extremely solemn tone, "Captain, this is really important to me."
Zheng Changqing hesitated for a few seconds, but finally agreed under her pleading gaze.
"I can think about it. But it's been so long, I'm afraid I can't remember everything."
Su Jin was already very grateful to hear him say that. "It's alright. If the captain can remember anyone, just tell me."
Zheng Changqing nodded. He knew very well that even if he asked her why she wanted to know about those people, she would never tell him.
"Su Jin, the brigade commander really cares about you. With his status and busy schedule, he was willing to put aside his work and risk his life to enter the minefield, just to personally teach you how to clear and plant mines. This sentiment is truly profound!"
Zheng Changqing earnestly expressed his opinion: among so many leaders in the military region, which one could do it?
Xiao Yunfeng, however, spent a whole week by her side, patiently teaching her. All this was so that she would have more ability to protect herself when facing danger in the future.
