Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Is the Old Tang Family Sending Someone?
Clinging tightly to the manâs hand, Su Shu took a deep breath and glanced at the serious profile of Tang Zelin as he carefully discerned their direction.
Her heart was filled with indescribable emotions.
She found that no matter how dangerous it was around her, as long as he was by her side, holding her hand tightly like this, she felt incredibly at ease.
Not scared at all.

Ji Dong had just come down from dealing with matters at the frontline expansion.
Someone came over to inform him that the Political Commissar was looking for him.
Without even having time to tidy up, he hurried to the regimental headquarters to see Qu Guoâan.
When he arrived, Qu Guoâan was furiously yelling into the officeâs internal wireless telephone.
âWhat do you mean âour regiment shouldâ? When evacuating the refugees, our regiment never cowardly hid at the rear camp, and just when our troops had just settled, you wonât let people rest? Are only your soldiers precious? Our regimentâs soldiers were raised by a stepmother, is that it? Enough, enough⊠Donât give me that nonsense, Iâm telling you, our regiment wonât do it, go find someone else!â
Ji Dong stood straight by the side, silent.
Qu Guoâan was holding his side, lifting the receiver.
âYou ask me whatâs going on, I want to ask whatâs going on with you? Didnât I say two days ago that Old Tangâs old injury had relapsed? Do you not know what kind of injuries he has? Forget about it, let him rest! You solve your own problems, I, Old Qu, have only one thing to say, no can do! Canât you see weâre expanding here every day?â
âFine, fine, you better hurry and find someone else, Iâm telling you, stop looking for Old Tang. His wife is pregnant right now, thatâs the Tang Familyâs future generation. If because of this something happens to his wife, Iâd like to see how youâre going to explain it to the senior commander! Hanging up!â
Clack!
And with that, Qu Guoâan âhandsomelyâ hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Qu Guoâan took a deep breath, exhaling long and hard.
At least that headache of an issue was solved, otherwise, it would have been really tricky with Tang Zelin still missing.
Turning around, he saw Ji Dong standing behind him and was momentarily startled.
âWhy are you here?â
Ji Dong was also startled.
âPolitical Commissar, wasnât it you who had someone fetch me?â
âMe?â He didnât remember sending for Ji Dong.
Seeing Qu Guoâanâs expression change, Ji Dongâs face suddenly darkened, âA young Soldier came to get me.â
Qu Guoâan thought hard but still couldnât recall having anyone call Ji Dong over.
Passing unauthorized military orders was no small matter.
Ji Dong confirmed again, âPolitical Commissar, you didnât look for me?â
âNo, Iâve been in the office this morning sorting out materials. Right, werenât you supposed to be caring for Old Tangâs children?â
âYes, Xiaoâaiâs stomach was a bit sore this morning, so I took them to the hospital to see Doctor Wang. Just as there was a problem at the construction site, Doctor Wang looked after the children. I just came down and was about to go to the medical area.â
âThen youâd better hurry over, I donât have anything pressing at the moment. If thereâs anything, Iâll call for you.â
âWhat about the person who delivered the message⊠â
Qu Guoâan nodded and waved his hand, indicating that he understood and would keep it in mind.
âGo ahead with your tasks, weâll look into it later. Could they grow wings and fly away in our regiment?â
Qu Guoâan was absolutely not one to indulge such matters.
Ji Dong knew what kind of temper his Political Commissar had and didnât say much, rendered a military salute, and turned to leave.
Qu Guoâan suddenly stopped him, âOh, Company Commander Ji, by the way, brace yourself for something.â
âTell me, Political Commissar.â
âOld Tangâs family might be coming over to our place soon. Take extra care and help the Tang Family look after the children.â
Ji Dong was slightly stunned, then his face regained composure.
âYes, sir!â
