143: She knows how to hit him where it hurts.
Hearing this, Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, and Chief Gu were filled with reluctance.
"What are these people doing? They clearly said three days of leave, but today is only the second day..."
Grandpa Gu's expression was serious, a bit displeased.
"Old man, don't say that. You all used to be like this too."
"Nanny Wang, come quickly and help me pack some things for Niannian to take back."
"Coming."
Nanny Wang smiled and nodded.
Xiao Niannian saw the elders wanting to help her pack and said with a smile.
"Grandparents, Dad, I'll just take these two sets of clothes Grandma made and one pair of shoes back. I won't take anything else."
Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, Grandma Gu agreed.
"Okay."
If her Granddaughter didn't take these things back, she would mail them to her. Or, if someone was going to Yangcheng, they could take them along.
Xiao Niannian quickly packed her things. After going downstairs, she looked at Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu.
Xiao Niannian hugged Grandma Gu.
"Grandma, you and Grandpa, please take care of yourselves. I'm going back to my unit."
"Alright, alright, alright."
Grandpa Gu and Father Gu looked on with anticipation.
"Good child, you must also take care of yourself and stay safe."
Grandma Gu looked at Xiao Niannian with a face full of reluctance. She finally had a good Granddaughter, but she only stayed for two days. How could she bear to let her go?
Eldest Son was right; otherwise, if they transferred their Granddaughter back to the Capital City and kept an eye on her, they could feel at ease and see her from time to time.
Otherwise, she would worry every day.
First, she disarmed someone bare-handed, and then she protected the public at the cinema.
Although she was a scout, it was still very dangerous.
Footsteps came from the doorway, and Lu Jing walked in quickly.
"Niannian, are you packed? I'll pick you up and take you to the Guesthouse."
"I'm already packed."
Xiao Niannian smiled and looked at the elders.
"Grandparents, Dad, I'll come to see you when I'm on leave."
Hearing this, Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, and Chief Gu all nodded.
"Okay."
"Take care of yourself."
"Call your Grandparents to report your safety when you arrive."
"Okay."
The Gu Family walked into the courtyard, watched Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian get into the car, and watched the car leave. After a while, Grandma Gu finally spoke.
"Eldest Son, find a way to transfer Niannian back to the Capital City."
Grandpa Gu also spoke.
"Your mom is right, transfer Niannian back."
Chief Gu was a bit surprised to hear his parents' words.
His parents used to be very principled. Back then, his sister-in-law had talked to his parents several times about his brother-in-law's transfer, but his parents never agreed.
"Okay."
Father Gu added.
"But this matter must depend on Niannian's own wishes. If Niannian doesn't agree, then forget it."
Chief Gu understood Niannian's personality. If he didn't ask for Niannian's opinion and transferred his daughter back, his daughter would definitely be angry.
"Eldest Son is right, this matter must depend on Niannian herself."
Grandma Gu smiled and nodded at her Eldest Son's words.
As soon as Xiao Niannian left, Old Master Lu and Grandma Lu arrived at the Gu Family's home.
"Old Man Gu, I heard your Eldest Son found his biological daughter?"
Old Master Lu and Grandma Lu came today with gifts. This was a great joyous occasion.
Grandpa Gu heard Old Master Lu's words and said.
"Yes, my Granddaughter is beautiful and capable. Do you still remember the train case from before?"
Hearing Old Master Gu mention the train case, Old Master Lu nodded.
These days, the Ministry of Public Security had busted a huge case. Those people were involved in child trafficking, robbery, and all sorts of evil deeds.
Not only that, these people were also connected to spies. Some of the abducted children were trained by them and would be used to deal with the country and the public when they grew up... "My Granddaughter discovered this," Grandpa Gu said proudly.
Old Master Lu was immediately surprised to hear this.
"Your Granddaughter discovered it?"
Old Madam Lu was also very surprised.
"Sister-in-law Gu, is she really Yuan'er's biological daughter?"
Grandma Gu nodded.
"Next time you see her, Sister-in-law, you'll see that this child resembles Eldest Sons Wife a bit, and her temperament is exactly like Eldest Son's."
Grandma Gu now felt more and more that Xiao Niannian was her Granddaughter.
The more she looked, the more she resembled her. They had already sent people to investigate, but no evidence had been found yet.
She had also heard before that those people from the Committee actually said Niannian was a spy. What nonsense.
Old Master Lu heard Grandpa Gu's words and scoffed.
"Look at that child, even without growing up in the Gu Family, she's so outstanding. This isn't something you cultivated..."
Old Master Gu was speechless upon hearing this.
This Old Man Lu knew how to pierce his heart.
"Hmph, anyway, she's my Granddaughter, and my Granddaughter is much more outstanding than your Granddaughter, Old Man Lu."
Hearing them about to argue again, Grandma Gu pulled Grandma Lu inside, not bothering to pay attention to them.
They always argued when they met; she was used to it long ago.
"Sister-in-law Lu, let's go sit inside and ignore them."
"Where's the child? Let me see her quickly."
Hearing this, Grandma Gu said with a smile.
"She was recalled by the Military Unit."
What?
Grandma Lu looked at Grandma Gu in surprise upon hearing this.
"You mean, this child is a soldier?"
Grandma Lu suddenly remembered that her Grandson had also just been recalled. Could it be that they knew each other?
"My boy was also just recalled. Could it be that they know each other?"
Hearing Grandma Lu's words, Grandma Gu nodded cheerfully.
"They do know each other; they even went on a mission together this time."
Grandma Lu was overjoyed to hear this.
"Sister-in-law Gu, tell me quickly."
Grandma Gu briefly explained a few things.
Of course, she didn't reveal her suspicions.
Hearing this, Grandma Lu was overjoyed. She had originally wanted to see her friend's Granddaughter and also tell her friend about her Grandson having a sweetheart. But now, Grandma Lu suspected that her Eldest Grandson's sweetheart was probably her friend's Granddaughter.
However, she was afraid of being mistaken, so she didn't say anything.
Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing returned to the Military Region Guesthouse.
Fang Qiang, He Yong, and the others were delighted to see them return.
"Captain Lu, Comrade Xiao, we're leaving in half an hour."
These past few days, they had also bought some things in the Capital City. Some were directly mailed to their families, while others were brought back to share with their Comrades-in-arms.
Xiao Niannian shared some of the pastries that her Grandparents had given her with her Comrades-in-arms.
Military Doctor Shen looked at Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing. He had heard about Grandpa Gu's family finding their biological Granddaughter.
Could it be that the biological Granddaughter was Xiao Niannian?
It shouldn't be, right?
But Xiao Niannian hadn't stayed at the Military Region Guesthouse for the past two days. Could it be that she had relatives here?
Lu Jing saw Military Doctor Shen staring at Xiao Niannian, and his gaze turned colder.
Military Doctor Shen noticed and immediately averted his gaze.
