11: Why does this little girl look so familiar?
She looked at Lu Jing. She felt that Lu Jing and his group were Special Forces Soldiers, and the impression they gave her was that they were not the type of people who couldn't distinguish right from wrong. Now that Lu Jing and his comrades were willing to stand up for her, she certainly wouldn't be ungrateful.
"comrade, this is truly a misunderstanding. comrade Li Aimin was too impulsive..."
The two who had just held the guns immediately started smiling awkwardly, trying to explain what had just happened.
"Right, right, right, we just had a conflict. This Female Comrade is very skilled in martial arts, which is why the misunderstanding occurred."
The others also endured the pain and spoke up one after another.
Lu Jing snorted coldly and said.
"So many of you couldn't beat one little girl, and you have the nerve to suspect her of being a spy. You made a mistake and didn't apologize, and now you want to push the blame onto her. Regarding today's incident, we will definitely call your unit and demand that they handle it seriously..."
Li Aimin's face was beaten until it looked like a pig's head. Hearing Lu Jing's words now, he was still furious.
"What are you? Do you think you're qualified to manage the affairs of our Revolutionary Committee?"
The other two failed to pull Li Aimin back or cover his mouth.
Although they were cadres of the Revolutionary Committee, their backing wasn't as strong as Li Aimin's. Li Aimin caused trouble in the Revolutionary Committee every few days.
"What arrogance."
An Old Comrade with slightly gray hair walked over. His face was stern, and his presence was extraordinary. He wore a four-pocket military uniform and stared sharply at Li Aimin.
"Tie him up and hand him over to the Public Security personnel at the next station. Lu Jing, send someone now to find the Railway Police Officer and contact the Public Security Bureau at the next stop. Tell them I said this incident must be handled seriously..."
Xiao Niannian looked at the old man in surprise. For some reason, this old man gave her a particularly familiar feeling, and since he was accompanied by so many Soldiers, he must be someone of extraordinary background.
Old Chief?
He must be an Old Chief who has achieved great military feats.
"Little comrade, don't worry. Since Grandpa is here today, they will definitely be severely punished."
"Greetings, Old Chief."
Xiao Niannian snapped into a military salute.
She immediately realized her mistake. She was just a high school graduate now, why was she saluting? She quickly retracted her hand, and her posture instantly became normal.
Seeing Xiao Niannian's extremely standard movement, the Old Chief and Lu Jing's group all looked at her in surprise.
"Little comrade, are you a Soldier?"
Xiao Niannian chuckled and explained.
"No, no. My grandfather and father used to be."
Hearing that Xiao Niannian's grandfather and father were both Soldiers, the Old Chief's gaze toward Xiao Niannian became even softer.
"Worthy of being a descendant of our Soldiers. Well done."
The Old Chief raised his thumb and praised Xiao Niannian.
"Thank you for the compliment, Old Chief."
Li Aimin was tied up securely. The others, watched by the Old Chief's sharp gaze, secretly groaned. Although they didn't know the Old Chief's background, he was definitely a big shot. Li Aimin had completely ruined them this time.
"Are you people sending the masses off to labor? Note down where they are being sent. When they return, they must report to the Public Security Bureau at the next station... This matter must be handled seriously... We absolutely cannot let one rotten apple spoil the bunch. What skill is there in acting like local tyrants, committing misdeeds, and bullying the masses? If you have skill, go fight the devils and enemies on the battlefield..."
Their documents were also taken by Lu Jing and his comrades.
The Railway Police Officers also hurried over and were listening nearby. The surrounding masses had already told them what had happened here. They were very clear about the identity of this Old Chief, so they fully agreed with his decision.
"Old Chief, please rest assured, this matter will definitely be handled as you instructed."
They also disliked the people from the Revolutionary Committee. They never expected people from the Revolutionary Committee to act so domineeringly and commit misdeeds on the train.
They also checked Xiao Niannian's letter of introduction.
"Old Comrade, we know we were wrong. We tried to persuade him just now."
"Old Comrade, we are sorry, we know we were wrong. Please be lenient and forgive us this once..."
"Old Comrade, please calm down..."
The Old Chief listened to their words and felt that they hadn't realized their mistake at all. If they were going to apologize, they should apologize to the little girl. Why apologize to him?
"You are apologizing to the wrong person. You should apologize to this little girl."
Hearing the Old Chief's words, the few men immediately apologized to Xiao Niannian.
"comrade, we are sorry, we were wrong. We will write a self-criticism..."
"comrade, we are sorry. We truly did something wrong this time. Please forgive us."
"comrade, we are sorry. You are right, we really shouldn't have occupied someone else's seat. We have profoundly realized our mistake..."
Listening to their words, Xiao Niannian said.
"I don't accept your apology. You aren't apologizing because you know you were wrong; you're apologizing because you're afraid of being severely punished. You haven't reflected or repented at all. Maybe next time, you'll commit even more illegal acts..."
The Old Chief heard Xiao Niannian's words, looked at her appearance, and couldn't help but look a few more times. Why did this little girl look more and more familiar?
But for the moment, he couldn't recall exactly where he knew her from.
Lu Jing heard Xiao Niannian's words and looked at her. This little girl was indeed very brave, daring to seize a gun with her bare hands, and she was kind-hearted. Moreover, when meeting the Old Chief, she spoke neither haughtily nor humbly. Since her grandfather and father were Soldiers, their family background was similar to his own.
However, when he was her age, he wasn't necessarily more outstanding than her.
Seeing Xiao Niannian look at him, Lu Jing's eyes met hers. For some reason, Lu Jing felt his heart pounding rapidly. Could it be that something was wrong with his body?
He immediately withdrew his gaze.
Soon, the next station arrived. Xiao Niannian watched as the Railway Police Officers escorted Li Aimin off the train and handed him over to the other Public Security personnel.
"Little comrade, would you like to join the Military Unit?"
Xiao Niannian fell silent upon hearing the Old Chief's words.
In her previous life, she was carrying out a mission, and a teammate's mistake caused an explosion, which is how she was blown into this place.
She had thought about joining the Military Unit, but what about Grandma Xiao?
"We are heading to a place in the South this time. My Paternal Uncle is escorting my grandmother and me there. I can't give you an answer right now."
Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, the Old Chief noticed something was amiss.
Going to a place in the South, escorted by her Paternal Uncle and grandmother... where was her father?
Could it be that her father was gone?
She didn't mention seeking refuge with relatives, nor did she mention seeking help from the Military Unit.
Thinking of this, the Old Chief took out paper and a pen from his pocket and wrote down a few phone numbers.
"Little comrade, this is Grandpa's phone number. If you encounter difficulties, call Grandpa. Grandpa's surname is Gu."
