Chapter 473: Chapter 472: The Garrison Sends Soone
“Cough, cough, cough!”
A violent cough suddenly echoed in the luxurious suite.
Shao Zifeng, shirtless and holding a glass of water, almost choked: “What do you an wherever I go gets blown up, I’m the victim here.”
“Hey, no use shouting at , I’m already scared of you,” Cang Haiyuan’s voice was filled with schadenfreude: “Since you’re fine, I’ll hang up first, you’re gonna be busy enough soon.”
“Scram, scram, scram.”
After hanging up the phone, Shao Zifeng went to pour himself another glass of water.
Ever since the phone had restarted, it hadn’t stopped ringing—Qiqi, Chen Zhenglong, and Li Yiming had taken turns bombarding him until his voice was almost hoarse.
After gulping down the water in his glass, Shao Zifeng was just about to rest when the phone rang again.
“Zifeng, are you alright?” Chen Yixin’s tone carried a bit of reprimand: “I told you to co back to the capital with , but you wouldn’t listen. Look at you now, never giving peace of mind.”
Shao Zifeng put down the glass and took a disposable robe provided by the hotel out of the wardrobe and draped it over himself: “I’m fine, aren’t I? Why are you still up so late?”
“If you could give less to worry about, I’d already be asleep hugging my pillow by now.”
Driven by so mischievous impulse, Shao Zifeng replied: “The pink one?”
There was sudden silence on the other end of the line and Chen Yixin’s breathing quickened.
A mont later, she said sowhat annoyed: “Are you asking for a spanking?”
“Hahaha, just joking to lighten the mood.”
Afterward, Chen Yixin briefly outlined the official response to the incident, and for his personal safety, they decided not to publicly acknowledge his contributions this ti.
But worried that Shao Zifeng, being young and impetuous, might feel aggrieved, they had Chen Yixin talk him through it.
“Oh, I thought it was sothing serious, you know what I’m like.”
Chen Yixin said pointedly: “Of course I know, but so people are just worried, you know?”
“Cough!”
A soft cough suddenly ca from the other end of the phone, followed by the sound of a door closing.
“Finally, he’s gone. These old n just overthink everything,” Chen Yixin said with a relaxed tone.
“It’s good to overthink, not everyone is as magnanimous as I am.”
“Keep dreaming.”
After a few jokes, Shao Zifeng suddenly rembered sothing: “Right, Yixin, any news about that foreign entity?”
Chen Yixin hesitated: “That’s handled by the Twelfth Legion, I’m not very clear. But the higher-ups are taking it seriously, they’ve made quite a few preparations in secret.”
“What, have you discovered sothing new?”
Shao Zifeng felt relieved after hearing Chen Yixin’s words.
Actually, his heart had been on edge for a while because he clearly rembered the foreign girl smiling back at him before entering the teleportation circle, proving that the ‘deception’ ability tied to the ring had no effect on her.
Under normal circumstances, after realizing their exposure, shouldn’t they mobilize forces to catch the enemy off guard?
It’s baffling.
“Zifeng.” Seeing that Shao Zifeng didn’t respond, Chen Yixin couldn’t help but speak: “What’s wrong?”
Shao Zifeng snapped back to reality: “Nothing, just a bit tired.”
“Then you better rest soon, let’s chat another ti.”
After hanging up the phone, Shao Zifeng collapsed on the couch, still thinking about the foreign entity.
Thud, thud!
There was a knock at the door, and he rubbed his temple with a slight headache.
“Coming.”
Shao Zifeng opened the door and found Han Jiugong’s secretary standing there.
Two young n in military uniform accompanied him, each carrying a black case.
“Classmate Shao, hope I didn’t disturb your rest?” The well-dressed man had a friendly smile: “Couldn’t reach you by phone, had no choice but to co in person, please don’t mind.”
As the saying goes, you don’t hit a man with a smiling face, and seeing the secretary of the mayor maintaining such a humble stance, Shao Zifeng, despite being tired, couldn’t afford to give a rude response.
“It’s fine, may I know what this is about?”
Shao Zifeng glanced at the two soldiers following him.
“Oh, these two are brothers from the Liaodong Region’s stationed troops, just rushed over from their base to visit Student Shao,” the man said, then turned back to the two soldiers, “This is Student Shao.”
“Hello!” The two stood straight and saluted Shao Zifeng.
“Hello.”
After a simple greeting, the secretary whose last na was unknown said, “You guys chat, I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll leave you be.”
After saying this, the person hurriedly left.
Shao Zifeng looked curiously at the two poker-faced n, and after making sure they ant no harm, stepped aside and said, “Please co in.”
After entering the living room, Shao Zifeng slumped on the couch. Seeing the two standing still, he quickly said, “Sit down, why stand?”
“Yes.” The two sat on the couch, backs ramrod straight, without diverting their gaze.
Seeing this, Shao Zifeng, lounging like Ge You, felt a bit embarrassed. He sat up straight and even cleared his throat lightly, “Did you need sothing from ?”
Smack smack!
The two efficiently opened their briefcase, “The corps commander sent us to deliver so dicine and energy potions to you.”
Looking at a row of vials shimring with various colors inside the briefcase, Shao Zifeng’s expression softened quite a bit, “Please thank your corps commander for .”
The two poker faces nodded and then fell silent again.
The living room was extrely quiet. Feeling uneasy all over, Shao Zifeng racked his brains for sothing to say, “So, the two of you ca together?”
The two soldiers glanced at each other, then simultaneously turned their heads with disdain, and said in unison, “Hmph, who’s with him.”
Hiss!
Shao Zifeng gasped coldly.
Weren’t you two poker-faced?
How co you suddenly beca so tsundere?
Hmph too?
Perhaps feeling a bit embarrassed under Shao Zifeng’s gaze, the two introduced themselves, “I am Sun Wu, company commander of the third battalion of the Yulong Corps.”
“I am Zhao Wen, company commander of the third battalion of the second regint of the Benshi Corps.”
So, one civil and one military, destined to be opposites?
“Well, commanders, I appreciate your gesture,” Shao Zifeng looked at the ti, his expression exaggerated, “Oh no, it’s already two o’clock.”
After saying this, Shao Zifeng looked at the two.
Aren’t the hints clear enough yet for you to leave?
Thinking this, Shao Zifeng exaggeratedly yawned, “These days are truly exhausting, haven’t had a good sleep in days.”
Shao Zifeng looked at the two again, who still sat immovable like statues.
Goodness, can’t you take a hint?
Just as Shao Zifeng couldn’t help wanting to directly evict them, Zhao Wen spoke, “Student Shao, if you’re tired, go to sleep.”
“Ah, okay then,” Shao Zifeng perked up, smiling broadly as he stood up, “Look at , I don’t really have anything nice to offer back, but uh…”
What the heck.
You know I’m going to sleep, yet you’re still sitting here?
Shao Zifeng was not pleased.
You really expect so return gift?
“Student Shao misunderstood,” Sun Wu explained, seeing the situation, “We are here under orders to protect you, these items were just incidental.”
“So, you go sleep, I’ll keep watch here perfectly,”
Zhao Wen nodded, “ too.”
Shao Zifeng: …
Two door gods, huh.
Why didn’t you say that earlier!
