Two o'clock in the morning.
The Fourth Military Region General Staff Headquarters was brightly lit.
Xing Yi stood up again and asked the signalman outside the door: "Are they here yet? Otherwise, you can go to the gate and guard it. If they arrive, bring them here immediately!"
The signalman put his feet together and stood at attention: "Yes!"
He trotted all the way to the gate duty station and looked into the distance cautiously.
The soldier on duty looked in the direction he was looking out of curiosity, but all he saw was a pitch-black mass, and he became confused.
"What the hell are you doing here in the dead of night? It's pitch black, there's not even a feather in the air. What are you looking at?"
The signalman glanced at him and said, "What do you care? You lost to me again in target practice last week. When are you going to give me the five pairs of work gloves I promised you?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? This month's allowance hasn't come out yet. I'll give it to you when it comes out." The soldier on duty immediately laughed and bumped his shoulder. "I heard that the captain became a criminal police officer after retiring. Is that true?"
The signalman scoffed, "I don't know. If you have the guts, go ask the commander!"
"Hey, you little brat, why would I ask you that if I had the guts? Captain, you're such a jerk. After retiring, you've disappeared like a fish into the sea. There's no news from you at all... You've probably forgotten all of us brothers, haven't you?"
This group of veterans are about to retire, and their superiors have already leaked the news that a large-scale military downsizing will begin in the early spring of next year.
Although he would be contributing to the country no matter what he did, he really didn't know what to do in the future when he left the army.
The signalman also became melancholy after hearing what he said. "Ah, I know what you are thinking. I have been doing nothing but being a soldier these past few years, and I am worried too."
"So, it's better to follow the captain! We'll do whatever he tells us to do, and he'll definitely not treat us unfairly."
The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
"Then when we have the chance, let's go secretly to find the captain?"
Just as the soldier on duty was about to answer him, a beam of car lights shone over from not far away.
"It must be Doctor Lin!"
The signalman hurried over, squinting his eyes and staring for a long time until he saw the familiar license plate, and immediately came forward happily.
"Doctor Lin, why are you here so late? The commander told me to take you in directly... Hey, who is this?"
Under the dim light in the carriage, Jiang Mingxin had just woken up.
She had taken a nap in the passenger seat, her eyelashes fluttering, and a sense of harmless tranquility shrouding her whole body.
That delicate face, illuminated by the light, was like a peerless ancient porcelain captured by a master photographer's lens. Even through layers of gauze, it was still breathtakingly beautiful.
The communications soldier, who was in his early twenties, had never seen such a scene before and was stunned for a moment.
Lin You stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes. "You kid, just one look is enough. This is the target of the King of Hell."
He was immediately speechless and stammered with fear.
"Captain, the captain's partner? Yes, I'm sorry, sister-in-law... I didn't mean it just now."
The signalman scratched his neck embarrassedly and hurriedly looked away, his neck red.
Jiang Mingxin waved his hand nonchalantly and smiled politely: "It's okay, I'm really sorry to bother you so late."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. We have to be on duty anyway."
The signalman didn't expect to be praised for doing such a small thing. He rubbed his ears shyly and hurriedly led the way, taking them to the staff headquarters.
As soon as he got off the car, Jiang Mingxin smelled a strong smell of smoke.
Lin You shook his head and rushed into the house to put out Xing Yi's cigarette. "Smoking, smoking, smoking, don't you know that the results of your last physical examination were not good?"
"You girl, I only smoked this one today!" Xing Yi rolled his eyes in anger.
Just when he was about to have a good talk with his girl, Lin You suddenly pulled him.
He immediately straightened his face and looked at Jiang Mingxin with dignity, but he was stunned at the first sight.
"You, you are Jiang Mingxin?"
Although Lin You had warned him against this, he still didn't expect that this girl would be so beautiful.
No wonder that brat likes it, his vision is exactly the same as his back then!
Jiang Mingxin, like Xing Haodong's mother, is a bright and beautiful woman with a unique temperament. Especially when she is not smiling, she is like a rose with thorns, her beauty is extremely aggressive and can arouse a man's desire to conquer her.
"In reply to the commander, I am Jiang Mingxin. It's getting late, let's start the experiment immediately."
Xing Yi blinked, "Don't you want to take a break?"
"No, let's finish this matter as soon as possible so I can go back earlier."
Jiang Mingxin looked around and frowned. "Do you have any valuables here? Like gold, jewelry, or antiques?"
Xing Yi immediately winked at the orderly, "Where are the things I asked you to prepare?"
"I'll get it right away!" The orderly ran out and came back with a box in his arms.
When Jiang Mingxin opened it, she found that most of the things inside were miscellaneous, without any gold or jewelry. However, she found an ivory carving and took it out in surprise.
I saw that this ivory carving was shaped like a long strip and was actually a rare waist badge. The front was engraved with "Eastern Office Brocade Seal No. 88", and the back was engraved with "The flag captain of the judicial department shall wear this badge and shall not borrow or lose it. Violators will be punished."
"This is a valuable item. It's an official waist badge made of ivory from the Ming Dynasty. It's very valuable for historical research."
As for the artistic value, it's a little lacking.
Xing Yi was surprised. "You said this thing is made of ivory? Xiao Zhao, who did you get it from?"
The orderly was also a little surprised. "This, this belongs to Staff Officer Li. He uses it to hold down paper when practicing calligraphy. Didn't you ask for something old, preferably an antique? So he just casually slipped this to me."
