After drinking this cup of tea, it was time to say goodbye. Ye Jian only felt her hand that was holding the cup, trembling a little.
“Come on, drink, drink, Ye girl, I don’t know when we can meet again, a toast to you, a bright future, and a peaceful journey!” They toasted with tea instead of wine. Political Commissar Yan took the lead; he drank the whole cup before putting it down. His hands were also faintly trembling.
This was their parting; they didn’t know when they could meet again, so how could they not be sad?
Watching his old partner, Regiment Commander Liu turned his head and wiped his tears. He patted his old partner’s shoulder vigorously and joked, “Every time you send a veteran soldier, you are the one who shed the most tears. You see, I don’t like to cry, but because of you, I have to cry with you. Otherwise, people might think I’m cold-blooded.”
“You still have to meet Deputy Chief of Staff Du tomorrow. Hold yourself up together a little longer; you don’t want to accompany the leader with two red eyes tomorrow.”
When mentioning Deputy Chief of Staff Du, Regiment Commander Liu’s face sank sharply, and he asked Political Commissar Yan, “Old Yan, did you hear clearly who Deputy Chief of Staff Du was talking to on the phone when you left?”
Who was he talking to on the phone?
Political Commissar Yan drank some cold water and thought about it before replying, “You were the closest to Deputy Chief of Staff Du at the time. I was behind, so I didn’t hear clearly.”
On the other side, Ye Jian was already frowning slightly.
Deputy Chief of Staff Du?
Surname Du?
There was only one person with the surname “Du” in the general staff.
Moreover, he and this daughter had formed quite a troublesome duo.
“Ye girl, I think Ye Zhifan hasn’t given up on sending Ye Ying into the army. He… may have some relationships with the Du Family.” The solemn Regiment Commander Liu thought about it again and still believed that he had not heard it wrongly, “I think it was his wife that called. I heard the words, Old Ye, from the Provincial Construction Bureau. I’m 80 to 90% certain that it’s Ye Zhifan.”
It wasn’t 80 to 90%, and it was completely true.
Unexpectedly, the leader accompanied by Political Commissar Yan and Regiment Commander Liu was Deputy Chief of Staff Du.
Ye Jian didn’t intend to tell them that she knew that Ye Zhifan had a relationship with the Du Family; she smiled, “It doesn’t matter. Ye Ying wants to join the army is not a matter of a day or two. If she can really join the army, it means Deputy Chief of Staff Du… “
There was no need to finish the sentence. From the way Political Commissar Yan and Regiment Commander Liu frown, it was obvious that they knew what Ye Jian wanted to say.
“If this is the case, you really need to stay away.” Regiment Commander Tuan said in a low voice and immediately reminded Political Commissar Yan, “Old Yan, you should be careful. What is his schedule in Yunnan Province these days, and who is he meeting? Don’t get involved, so you won’t have any unnecessary troubles in the future.”
“Regarding Commander-in-Chief, you can find the brigade commander and tell him to let the Commander-in-Chief know about this matter.”
Political Commissar Yan nodded with a calm face, “I will be more aware. A little kid with heart problems knew how to frame her classmates at a young age and can still join the army. This will really be a shame to the army.”
“You just remember it in your heart, don’t show it on your face.” Regiment Commander Liu was going to change jobs soon, so the affairs in the army had nothing to do with him, but he was still worried about his ten-year partner, “Stay away, don’t get too close. You don’t want to hear things you shouldn’t hear.”
They were all preparing to leave earlier, but because of Deputy Chief of Staff Du, they sat and talked for another 10 minutes before parting ways.
The meeting between Deputy Chief of Staff Du and Ye Zhifan was not only known to Regiment Commander Liu but also to Xia Yiwei, who was far away in Beijing.
“Okay, help me keep an eye on it, write down what they said, and contact me when I come back.” Xia Yiwei whispered, with a cold expression on her mature, charming face; she continued, “Don’t be discovered by them, just remember the keywords.”
