Soon the convoy arrived at the military unit. After the military vehicle drove into the gate of the Beijing Military Region, it drove towards the government building. After the car stopped, everyone got off together.
An elderly couple who looked to be in their 60s were standing at the entrance of the government building, accompanied by a soldier. After watching the convoy stop, they stood aside and waited.
Father Gu walked up to Su Nuan and said.
"Xiao Nuan, come with me to the office later. I have something to talk to you about."
Su Nuan nodded and walked towards Qian Peng and his wife.
"Dr. Qian, Dr. Li, your teacher, Mr. Liu, and his wife have been waiting there for a long time. You can go over and meet them."
The couple got off the car and didn't notice their teacher. After Gu's father reminded them, they looked in the direction Gu's father pointed and saw their teacher and his wife standing by waiting.
The two immediately walked towards their teacher. After seeing the teacher, they could no longer control their emotions. They hugged their teacher and his wife and burst into tears.
After a long while, Mr. Liu spoke to comfort the two. After they calmed down, the old man took one of them in each hand and led the couple to Gu's father's side.
"Commander Gu, I am Liu Siyang, currently the Vice President of the Beijing Science Research Institute. I would like to thank your comrades for rescuing my two students. Thank you."
As the old man was about to bow to Mr. Gu to express his gratitude, Mr. Gu quickly supported the old man to prevent him from bowing.
"Mr. Liu, please don't embarrass a junior like me. You are a national hero. How can I bear your bow of thanks? Besides, the two doctors are also Chinese. As the sons and daughters of the Chinese people, we have the obligation to do these things. Please don't thank me."
"No matter what, I still want to thank you. Without you, my students would not have come back alive. Moreover, they have research results. These research results will bring about a qualitative leap in the development of our country's national defense. Thank you so much."
"Mr. Liu, please don't be so polite. According to national regulations, all returning scientists must undergo our political review. I will need to take them for review later. I hope you can understand."
"I understand, I understand. Everything must be done in accordance with national regulations. Xiao Qian, Xiao Li, you will follow Commander Gu later. The teacher is waiting for you at home. Your teacher's wife has made dumplings at home. We will eat dumplings together then."
Qian Peng quickly agreed and introduced Su Nuan to his teacher.
"Teacher, this is Comrade Su Nuan, the savior of Xiao Yuan and me."
"Comrade Su Nuan, thank you for saving my students."
"Mr. Liu, you are too polite. It's just a small favor. You don't need to thank me."
Seeing that the old man was about to thank him again, Father Gu quickly stepped forward to interrupt him.
"Grandpa, they just got back and have work to report. I'll arrange for someone to take you two home first, and then send Dr. Qian and Dr. Li to your house later. Is that okay?"
"Okay, okay, thank you for organizing it."
When Mr. Gu saw that Mr. Liu agreed, he quickly waved his hand and asked a soldier to drive the two old people back.
After seeing Mr. Liu off, he said to Dr. Qian and his wife.
"Dr. Qian, Dr. Li, according to regulations, the organization needs to inquire about some matters with you. Please cooperate."
“Okay, no problem.”
After seeing that the two agreed, Father Gu instructed the people who had been waiting for a long time to investigate Qian Peng and his wife to bring people to find out the details.
After everyone left, he motioned for Su Nuan to follow, and Johnson and Jack followed behind with their suitcases.
After arriving at the office, he asked the guard to pour tea for the three of them. After the tea was poured and the guard left, Gu's father spoke.
"Xiao Nuan, what are your plans for Annie?"
"I plan to let her be my personal bodyguard after her injury heals."
"Don't you have two bodyguards?"
"They are both men, so it will be more convenient to go out with a female bodyguard."
"Okay, Commander, I respect your arrangement, but Annie is a former assassin, and we're worried she might not be willing to stay with you. Right now, she's seriously injured and can only be hospitalized. Once she's recovered, I'll ask her what she wants. If she's willing, I'll send someone to examine her. Only after everything's settled will she be allowed to be with you."
"Uncle Gu, thank you for your thoughtful consideration and thank you for your concern for me."
"I will take your thanks to the commander. Also, tell me about the things you brought back. Where is the tiger head?"
Hearing Gu's father mention the tiger head, Su Nuan ordered Johnson to open the suitcase they were carrying and take out the bronze tiger head inside.
"Uncle Gu, the tiger head is here, do you want to see it?"
"I won't look at it. Just pack it up as it is. I need to take it to the commander and let the experts check if it's a real tiger head."
"Oh, okay."
After saying that, he took out five pieces of jewelry from the suitcase.
The jewelry was displayed one by one, and under the sunlight outside the window, it looked dazzling and sparkling. Jewelry is so dazzling no matter what the circumstances, no wonder women are fascinated by it.
"Uncle Gu, these five pieces of jewelry were bought at an auction. Do you want to hand them over?"
"Leave the jewelry here for now. I'll take it to the commander and see what he thinks."
Su Nuan asked Johnson and Jack to repack the tiger head and five pieces of jewelry and put them on the desk in Gu's father's office.
"Xiao Nuan, you've done a great job this time. The Comanche attack helicopter has arrived in Beijing and is parked at the Academy of Sciences. We initially heard it was a discarded second-hand helicopter, but we didn't expect it to be 70% new. This is really a surprise. The helicopter research experts at the Academy of Sciences are now reluctant to go home and live in the helicopter to do research."
“I am honored to be able to contribute my part to the country.”
"Hahaha, Xiao Nuan, uncle is very proud of you. A female comrade dared to risk her life to do this, and completed it so well. I feel that Xiao Feng is not worthy of you."
"Uncle Gu, please stop teasing me."
"I've asked someone to investigate the attack you encountered on your way back. I'll let you know when I have more information."
"I don't know if Chen Yuan has reported this to you, but we all suspect it's a mafia organization, and it's closely related to Mr. Line 6 of the auction."
"Shen Yuan has told me about this situation, but it's just a suspicion without any evidence. We still need to get some evidence, and we will investigate this suspicion in depth."
"That's good, otherwise our soldiers would be injured too unfairly."
"Xiao Nuan, uncle knows you blame yourself for the soldiers' injuries. I'm not trying to comfort you, but all this is for the mission, not for you. You are also a part of the mission. Injury and sacrifice during the mission are inevitable. Don't feel any psychological burden."
"Uncle Gu, I understand. I will adjust my mindset, don't worry."
"That's good. I'll take these things to report to the chief later. I'll arrange for someone to take you back to the compound to rest. Xiaofeng has been as anxious as an ant on a hot pot these days. He's so worried. Once you go back, he'll be relieved."
"Thank you, Uncle Gu"
After coming out of Gu's father's office, the guard drove the three of them to Gu's house.
