Chapter 165: Chapter 164: An Apocalyptic Life from Scratch (38)
“Ah, that… that.” He stuttered, at a loss for how to explain.
Su Shu, carrying a water bottle, took another step closer, looking up at the soldier who was a head taller than her, and asked again.
“Do you soldiers have nothing better to do? Spy on young won every day like this?” Her voice was slightly cold.
“No, no, Miss, you’ve got it all wrong, please don’t misunderstand! It’s not like that at all, we didn’t an to!”
Despite appearing fragile and gentle to the eye, Su Shu, when speaking face to face, unleashed an aura so powerful, and her piercing gaze from her beautiful eyes, that the person on the receiving end couldn’t help but want to give in.
Guozi was on the verge of tears!
He really hadn’t co to stare at his “future sister-in-law,” but had just returned from accompanying the group captain to the highway at the border between two provinces to pick up Company Commander Ji Dong and others. He just happened to pass by and heard other comrades ntion that the “group captain’s wife” was headed this way.
Before he could even understand what the “group captain’s wife” ant, he had taken a few glances at her, only to be cornered here, accused and questioned.
He… He… scolded by the group captain when he left, and blocked by the sister-in-law when he got ho.
55555…
Su Shu frowned, noting the soldier’s distressed expression and thinking to herself, all upset because I asked you a couple of questions?
I’ve been watched by your n for two whole days, and I haven’t even cried!
Guozi said, “Sis… Ah no, Miss, please don’t get the wrong idea, I was just on my way to the company headquarters, not spying on you.”
Besides, even if you wanted to spy, I wouldn’t dare! Guozi thought to himself.
“I didn’t ask you what you were doing, don’t change the subject. You’re not confessing, huh? Fine, I’ll go talk to your group leaders. I really want to ask if you soldiers are here to protect the public, or just to look at young won.”
With that, she swiftly moved around Guozi and headed straight for the group headquarters across the street.
Su Shu never liked being the center of attention. Their scrutiny had severely disrupted her normal life; she was intent only on finding Tang Zelin to ask if he could keep his soldiers in line.
What’s the point of coming over in groups to “admire” her? Is it fun? Is it!
Group Headquarters.
Tang Zelin had just washed his face and was drying his hands when Political Commissar Qu Guo’an passed him a towel, which he used to wipe his face haphazardly.
Next to him stood Ji Dong, who had just returned from a mission.
Tang Zelin gestured to a seat opposite him: “Sit down, you’ve been tired for days, no need to stand. Take a break.”
“Thank you, group captain!” Ji Dong stepped back and sat down completely upright in his chair. Despite the fatigue visible on his resolute face, he retained the spirited deanor of a soldier.
Political Commissar Qu Guo’an spoke with relief: “It’s good that you guys t up early. With the lights out, it’s too dangerous near the city limits!”
Tang Zelin nodded, took a sip from his water cup, and said, “Fortunately, Company Commander Ji Dong was quick to adapt, communicated in ti, and changed the route back. Otherwise, we would have probably lost a lot of these materials; there’s no way we could have brought everything back safely like we did.”
“Company Commander Ji Dong is indeed the one!” Qu Guo’an gave Ji Dong a thumbs-up.
Ji Dong said indifferently, “It’s what I should do. You praise too much, group captain and Political Commissar.”
“Modest even in victory, huh, good,” Tang Zelin narrowed his eyes and the corners of his lips curved slightly in appreciation of this young but composed company commander under his command.
“By the way, Old Tang, the folks in town want to hold a eting, they want you there,” Political Commissar Qu suddenly rembered sothing related to work.
Tang Zelin frowned, “A eting right after the goods have been brought in?”
Qu Guo’an laughed helplessly, “With such a big move by your troops, you had a clash on the outskirts of the city, and now the whole of C City knows about it. They know you have the goods, and of course they’ll co to claim their share.”
