Gu Shaokai, sensing something amiss, asked, "Brother, you're in trouble? Tell us."
Li Hanting immediately reverted to his usual indifference, "It's nothing, it can't be explained in a few words."
"I'm heading back to Huaicheng tomorrow. Are you planning to stay in Ancheng for the rest of your life?"
Gu Shaokai was astonished, "You're going back already?"
He was so used to being free and unrestrained that he almost forgot his mission as a soldier.
After thinking for a moment, she solemnly said to Brother Ting, "Brother, I'll go back with you tomorrow too."
Anyway, he's had enough of Ancheng, so going back to work in Huaicheng isn't a bad idea.
Li Hanting frowned slightly. "Are you really sure?"
Gu Shaokai stubbornly refused to look Ting Ge in the eye, "Well, it's been a long time since I've seen An'an and Yuan Yuan. I wonder if they still remember their uncle."
I only go back home once a year during the Chinese New Year. Back then, my two children were so thin and small. I don't know if they've grown taller now.
Li Hanting didn't expose him. He straightened up and buttoned his coat. "Alright, see you at the usual place tomorrow. I have to go now."
"Hey, hey, bro, you're leaving already?"
He wanted to have two more drinks.
Li Hanting and his group stayed in Ancheng for about half a month. Through meticulous planning, Yan Kun's drug trafficking hideout, which had been hidden for many years, was destroyed, and the dark forces were gradually dismantled.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Li Hanting was eager to return home. He had originally planned to finish in a week, but it had dragged on until now. He wondered if his wife was worried about him at home.
Gu Shaokai didn't ride in his own car, but instead climbed into Brother Ting's car. But ever since he got in, Brother Ting hasn't said a word, just kept looking out, as if he was thinking of someone. Of course, that person was definitely not An An or Yuan Yuan.
"Brother, you're not missing your wife, are you?"
When did my brother start to care about Su Jingjing?
"Gossip." Li Hanting glanced at him. "You should think about how to explain this to your uncle later." Then he closed his eyes to rest, dreaming about his wife.
What explanation do you want?
As long as you bring up his mother, the old man won't dare to utter a single word.
Having seen countless people, his intuition told him that there was more to the relationship between his brother and Su Jingjing than met the eye.
Forget it, no rush. Once we get back to Huaicheng, we'll surely find out the truth.
The car drove all night and returned to the military region in the early hours of the morning.
Gu Shaokai was fast asleep in the car, snoring loudly, completely unaware of anything amiss.
The soldier in the vehicle looked back. "Commander, should we wake him up?"
Li Hanting straightened his military uniform and got out of the car. "No need, let him sleep."
That guy probably went chasing girls again yesterday.
He was just about to go and report the situation to Uncle Gu when he saw the other man rushing over.
Everyone saluted solemnly, "Commander."
Li Hanting stood at the head of the table, no exception. In the military region, Gu Qingyun was his direct superior, and at the old house, he was Uncle Gu. Public affairs and private affairs could not be mixed up.
Gu Qingyun patted the young man on the shoulder, "Han Ting, well done! You completed this mission very well and really made our military region proud."
Han Ting seemed to be born a soldier, decisive in his actions, calm in the face of danger, and fearless even against the fiercest enemies.
To be honest, this matter is extremely dangerous. He has been on tenterhooks these past few days because Yan Kun is ruthless and suspicious. Taking down a drug trafficking base is not an easy task.
Han Ting could have relied on Lao Li's connections, but he insisted on being independent and letting his abilities speak for themselves.
Sure enough, that was someone else's child.
In that instant, Gu Qingyun thought of his own brat, who was always traveling around all year round, and he had no idea what he was busy with all day.
Li Hanting remained composed and respectful, saying, "Commander, this is all thanks to everyone's hard work."
Gu Qingyun smiled so much that all the wrinkles on his face disappeared. "Good, good, good, you'll be credited for this mission."
Everyone cheered, knowing they would receive a bonus, which would finally make life a little easier for their families.
Everyone says that soldiers have good benefits, but they don't know that they have to risk their lives for them.
Gu Qingyun told them to go back and rest. They hadn't slept well for days and nights, and everyone's eyes were red.
After everyone had left, Gu Qingyun softened her tone and said, "Han Ting, thank you for preparing a report later."
"Yes, sir."
"Hey kid, don't be so serious. There are no outsiders here."
Gu Qingyun looked solemnly into Han Ting's eyes, but ultimately her heart softened.
"By the way, did you run into Shao Kai in Ancheng this time?"
What he really wanted to ask was how his son was doing, but he couldn't bring himself to ask.
His wife was at odds with him over this matter.
Who could understand that a dignified military region commander is nothing more than a henpecked husband in front of his wife?
Before Li Hanting could speak, there was a commotion inside the car. Gu Shaokai then opened the car door and stretched.
"Hey, where's my brother? Where am I?"
The moment he turned his head, he saw his father staring at him, which startled him.
I subconsciously looked around and saw familiar plants and trees. It turned out that the car had driven back to the military region.
Although she didn't resent her father, they weren't particularly close either.
The father and son remained silent, neither of them speaking, creating an extremely awkward atmosphere.
Li Hanting spoke up at the right moment, breaking the silence, "Uncle Gu, why don't we go inside and talk?"
Gu Qingyun, wanting to reconcile, took the opportunity to turn around and head towards the office, following Han Ting's lead.
Li Hanting told Liu Yang to drive the car back, then winked at Shao Kai to follow.
office
Gu Shaokai ignored everything and plopped down on the sofa, acting nonchalant and completely acting like the owner of the place, showing no respect whatsoever.
"Uncle Gu, you two chat, I'll go home to my family compound first."
"good."
Gu Qingyun knew that Han Ting must miss the two children, so she readily let him go.
Soon, only the father and son remained in the office, staring at each other. Gu Qingyun sighed and slowly spoke, seemingly trying to appease him, "I'll stay in Huaicheng from now on."
"We'll see."
Seeing his son's smug expression, Gu Qingyun almost choked on blood, but he managed to suppress it with all his might.
If this kid runs off to the ends of the earth again, I won't be able to explain it to my wife.
Try a different approach: "You're not getting any younger. Settle down in Huaicheng from now on. Go back and see your mother later; she misses you terribly."
"knew."
This time, Gu Shaokai spoke kindly, though he had actually realized the unfriendly tone in his voice earlier.
For the rest of the time, the father and son didn't know what to say.
Family compound
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, which also means that Li Hanting has been away on a mission for half a month.
There has been no news since, and Su Jingjing can only obediently wait for news at home.
He clearly said it would only take a week, but he hasn't returned yet, which shows that the situation is very complicated.
In fact, two days after Li Hanting left, the two children began to miss him. Every morning, they would ask him about him. At first, Su Jingjing comforted the two children, but gradually, she lost her confidence.
