Ye Qingtao was almost asleep leaning on the back of the chair. With her eyes slightly narrowed, she looked particularly peaceful and serene.

But she never forgot to chatter away, and even when she fell asleep she still had the habit of correcting him.

Gu Xiu'an has always been under the strict education of his sister-in-law, so he has made rapid progress at a young age.

Gu Jingming came back from the army and saw Ye Qingtao soaking her feet.

He originally wanted to speak, but when Gu Xiu'an heard the noise, he quickly turned around and put a finger to his lips.

"Shh, big brother, don't talk!"

Gu Jingming closed his mouth, put down his coat and prepared to cook.

"Brother, we have eaten."

Gu Xiu'an said in a low voice that he accidentally pressed the wrong acupoint because he was distracted.

Ye Qingtao had almost developed a muscle reflex, and as soon as he made a mistake, she would react immediately.

Gu Jingming heard Ye Qingtao's voice and thought she had woken up.

When I turned around and saw that she had her eyes closed, I knew she was talking in her sleep.

Gu Jingming walked up and squatted on the ground to wipe Ye Qingtao's feet, then carried her around the waist and into the room.

Gu Jingming cooked himself a bowl of noodles and had a simple dinner.

Gu Xiu'an followed him and briefly told him what happened today.

"Brother, Uncle Li will come to see you in a while."

Gu Xiu'an reminded, Gu Jingming knew the purpose of Commander Li's visit this time, and nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Brother, what will you decide?"

Every decision made by the eldest brother affects their future.

Gu Xiu'an is now very excited, and his nervous body is trembling slightly.

Gu Jingming was just about to speak when there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Zhou's voice came over, and both people in the room knew that Commander Li was coming.

Gu Xiu'an quickly stopped the conversation and ran to open the door.

He opened the door of his house and saw Commander Li coming over from across the yard, surrounded by two guards.

Gu Xiu'an trotted out, opened the door, and warmly invited the person in.

"Xiu An, is your elder brother back?"

"I'm back, please come in!"

Gu Xiu'an greeted everyone with a smile, and took the initiative to support the arm of Commander Li, and invited him in very politely.

Teacher Li felt Gu Xiu'an's enthusiasm and a smile appeared on his face.

"Has your elder brother eaten at this time?"

Commander Li inquired about Gu Jingming's situation. It seemed that he attached great importance to this conversation, so he paid so much attention to these details.

"I had a bowl of noodles."

Gu Xiu'an answered truthfully, and Commander Li nodded with satisfaction.

After Commander Li entered, he immediately dismissed his subordinates.

Gu Xiu'an originally wanted to stay and join in the fun, but when he saw this situation, he quickly slipped away.

But only Commander Li and Gu Jingming were left in the living room. Mayor Li coughed and finally spoke.

"Gu Jingming, I checked your file and found that you have an excellent resume. If you continue to stay in the army for further studies, your future will be limitless."

Commander Li didn't say any nonsense. He started talking about interests right away, trying to impress people.

Gu Jingming did not respond, so Commander Li continued.

"With your abilities and my support, you will be able to take my position before you are 50 years old."

Commander Li himself was 52 years old when he became the division commander based on his outstanding military achievements.

At that time, he had no noble person to guide him, and he had to rely on himself to struggle, so he took a lot of detours along the way.

It is precisely because he has taken these detours that he now knows how to avoid them.

Mayor Li had never thought that one day he would take the initiative to help others.

He even thought at that time that he had lived such a difficult life in the past, so it would be impossible for the young people to get everything so easily this time.

This was the first time he took the initiative to speak, eager to help Gu Jingming.

Commander Li originally thought that since he had offered such tempting conditions, most people would have no way of refusing.

The reason why Gu Jingming was able to serve as a soldier for so many years was not just because of his passion.

It is more because of his duty as a soldier that he has been able to persist for ten years.

The conditions offered by Commander Li were very tempting, but Gu Xiu'an also knew clearly his responsibilities and the path he would take in the future.

"Master Li, thank you for your kindness, but I'm sorry, I'm afraid you will be disappointed with this matter."

"My father was seriously injured, and there is a family business that needs to be inherited. If Commander Li has checked my file, he should know everything about me."

"I have been a soldier for more than ten years. I have been seriously injured countless times and my life has been on the line countless times."

"The day I joined the army, I had already put life and death aside."

"Because my father was busy with business at that time, no one in the family really cared about me except my grandmother."

"At that time, I could go all out and make the decision I wanted to make because of my passion."

"But now that I'm married and about to be a father, I don't want to risk my life."

While speaking, Gu Xiu'an took off the clothes he was wearing.

There were shocking wounds all over his strong body.

The wound on his lower back was hideous and horrific, and there were several wounds on his back that were deep enough to see the bones.

In addition to these obvious wounds, he also had countless minor wounds on his body.

Including the craniotomy he had undergone before, if you just lift up his hair slightly, you can see the stitches marks.

Each of these injuries was more serious than the last, and each one was fatal.

As a veteran, Commander Li knows these injuries better than anyone else.

Because he himself also had so many wounds on his body.

He has also paid a lot to get to where he is today.

Gu Jingming was right. If he stayed any longer, he might die one day.

As for the benefits he promised, he may not be able to enjoy them at all.

These benefits are all empty to him, so it is better to cherish what he has now.

Because now his family does have a large business that needs someone to inherit.

Given his father’s current condition, if Gu Jingming cannot go back, the company may be in big trouble.

Not only will all previous efforts be ruined, but there is also a high possibility that you will be burdened with huge debts.

Although Commander Li had never gone into business, he had heard about it before and was very familiar with the routines involved.

Gu Jingming made sure that Commander Li had seen the wounds on his body, and then slowly put on his clothes.

Mayor Li sat on the sofa and stared at him in silence for a long time.

He didn't expect that even if he personally took action, he still couldn't solve the problem.

Gu Jingming is determined to do this and no one can persuade him.

“Even if you really want to leave, you must complete all the tasks at hand and wait until the new leader comes to hand over before you leave.”

"The soldiers in our army always finish everything they do, and I hope you will do the same."
