Colonel Lin rubbed his temple in irritation hearing the womanâs complaints.
Was she really Sergeant Geâs mother? Denouncing her own son in front of his superiors and branding him an unfilial child, Colonel Lin could not believe his ears.
Jiang Yao was not pleased, âSergeant Ge has a daughter, what do you mean the lineage of the Ge family stops here? Even though Ge Wenwen is currently with her mother, it does not change the fact that she is still Sergeant Geâs daughter!â
Sergeant Geâs expression softened hearing her daughterâs name being mentioned. Obviously, he missed her very much.
âColonel Lin, Captain Lu, may I ask both of you for a favor? You have extensive connections in Jin City, can you help look for Wenwen? I need her to come back to me, her mother is going to destroy her future otherwise!â
âWhatâs wrong with you? What is good looking for your daughter? After all, she will leave you when she marries out of the family! Whatever happens, you are still a military officer. Why donât you adopt your nephew here? Pull some strings for him when he grows up and he will have a good future. Are you worried that he is not going to take care of you when you retire? That kid, Wenwen, is just an ungrateful brat! See how easy it was to take her away from you?!â
That was it, Lu Xingzhi had had enough. He looked at Madam Ge with the most menacing eyes and roared, âShut up!â
The old lady stood in horror, unable to speak, intimidated by the sudden outburst of Lu Xingzhi.
âI will look for Wenwen myself. And to be clear, I am not adopting my brotherâs son! I do not know what you are scheming but whatever I have will be Wenwenâs. If she cannot get it, neither will any of you!â Hatred emerged in Segeant Geâs eyes, but just as swiftly, he returned to his icy cold disposition.
Exhausted at dealing with his family members, Sergeant Ge turned toward Lu Xingzhi and said, âCaptain, I know you have always wanted to promote me. I am sorry for letting you down this time, I truly apologize and am ashamed of my incapability. I do not know if we will ever see each other again, but I just wanted you to know that you will always be my captain wherever I go! I will never forget the time I spent with everyone here in the platoon!â
âHey!â Lu Xingzhi grabbed Sergeant Geâs hands tightly. âWe will always be buddies wherever you go!â
Jiang Yao could sense the drastic change in Lu Xingzhiâs mood when she accompanied him back to his room. The room felt suffocating and depressing when he did not talk.
âI gave Weiqi a call as soon as I could, but it was a little too late! Sun Cuimei can be anywhere now! Weiqi had his men on alert in case they ever come back.â Jiang Yao gently rubbed his eyebrows and said, âWe tried our best for Sergeant Ge.â
So many regrets, but it was the cold, hard reality.
âSergeant Ge is an excellent soldier, gallant and courageous. Unfortunately, his life is ruined by the people closest to himâhis family,â Lu Xingzhi lamented. He held Jiang Yaoâs hand and gave her a light squeeze, before lightly kissing the back of her hand.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
