Chapter 1226: Chapter 1245: Return to Hotown
“Hello, this is the office of the National Defense University. May I ask which unit you are from?”
This dedicated line is for military use only, normally utilized by senior officers or brother units.
“Hello, I am Major General Huo Beijiang from the 36th Division.”
“Hello, Major General Huo.” The person on the other end of the line was surprised for a mont, quickly saluted, and asked, “What do you need, Major General Huo? Should I get Director Li for you?”
“No need! Send my regards to Director Li.” Huo Beijiang held the phone between his shoulder and ear, lighting a cigarette for himself, and after taking a deep drag, he said, “I am requesting leave for freshman Jiang Nanfei. Please approve her half-month leave.”
After a mont of thought, the person on the other end recalled who Jiang Nanfei was, and was even more surprised upon realization. They had never heard of Jiang Nanfei knowing Major General Huo! Now that he was personally requesting leave for her, it seed they had a close relationship.
“Yes! May I ask if it’s dical or personal leave?”
Huo Beijiang’s fingers, holding the cigarette, trembled slightly before he finally said, “Personal leave.”
The other party originally wanted to ask what the personal matter was, but sensing that Major General Huo seed to be in a bad mood, they swallowed the words at the tip of their tongue.
After hanging up the phone, Huo Beijiang leaned on his desk, remaining motionless, continuing to smoke. The whole study was filled with smoke, making his perfectly sculpted facial features appear shadowy and indistinct through the haze.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
“Co in!”
Ning Di pushed the door open and almost coughed from the smoke inside. Closing the door, he walked in surprised, thinking he had entered the wrong room!
How many cigarettes had the Major General smoked?
Why was the room filled with the sll of smoke?
Ning Di hurried to open the window to air out the room, then asked, “Major General, why have you smoked so much?” Even during the toughest ti last year, the Major General hadn’t acted so out of character!
Ning Di frowned and thought carefully, making sure that nothing significant had happened recently, and everything was under control.
It didn’t make sense for the Major General to act this way! But, if there was a major event, it would be that his sister-in-law fainted last night. But… wasn’t she already recovered and discharged from the hospital?
In that mont, Ning Di thought of many things, but his face showed none of it, instead he advised, “Major General, you really shouldn’t smoke anymore. Our special forces need to maintain controlled senses.”
“I know.” Huo Beijiang was not one to disregard advice, and he pressed the half-smoked cigarette into the ashtray to extinguish it.
Ning Di smiled slightly.
“Is my leave approved?”
“The division commander personally approved the leave. He said to return as soon as you finish your business.”
“Good!” Huo Beijiang nodded inscrutably, then shifted to a more relaxed position before striding over to the sofa, “I hear that Jiang Zhuanzhuan is now associated with Leng Peixi?”
“Yes, we just received news that Leng Peixi places great value on Jiang Zhuanzhuan. She has now gone to Dark Street, and sooner or later, she’ll have a confrontation with Leng Ran.”
“Interesting.” Huo Beijiang’s handso face showed a trace of fierce satisfaction, “Both little girls want to beco the next Leng Peixi.”
Ning Di frankly said, “Not everyone can beco Leng Peixi, nor does everyone have her good fortune.” Leng Peixi’s current power, which makes her untouchable, isn’t solely due to her own capabilities.
