273: He would never allow Lu Jing to take his daughter away.

Lu Jing walked in.

"Grandma, Niannian."

Seeing Lu Jing, Xiao Niannian was slightly surprised.

Over these past two months, she had rarely seen Lu Jing. She guessed that Lu Jing must have gone to lead a team on a mission.

"Xiao Jing is here, sit down quickly."

"Grandma, I heard that Niannian applied for leave. What a coincidence, I applied for leave too."

A coincidence?

Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing, not expecting that he would also apply for leave at this time.

"These are the sleeper tickets for you, Grandma and Niannian."

Lu Jing handed the tickets to Grandma Xiao.

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Grandma Xiao looked at him happily.

"Xiao Jing, you picked up the tickets for us? Thank you so much."

Xiao Niannian looked at the tickets and spoke to thank Lu Jing.

"Thank you, Brother Lu."

"Have you packed your things? If you have, let's head to the City Center now."

Grandma Xiao nodded repeatedly.

After taking the car to the City Center, Xiao Niannian checked the time.

There was still half an hour left before the train departed.

Lu Jing took out a bag and handed it to Xiao Niannian.

"Inside are braised dishes and snacks, take them to eat. When it's time to eat later, I'll go buy food."

Nothing happened during this day and night.

When the train arrived at the station, Xiao Niannian stood up from her seat; she felt this was even more tiring than training for a whole day and night.

She missed the high-speed trains and airplanes from her original world immensely; no matter where you went across the country, it only took a few hours. Most of the time it was just two or three hours. Unlike now, where it's a day and night at every turn.

Plus, this green-skinned train still made that clanking sound.

However, sometimes it was like a lullaby. In her original world, when they went to certain places to participate in Red Team and Blue Team confrontations, they also used green-skinned trains to transport soldiers and equipment.

Very few Military Units would use airplanes for transport.

They once had a confrontation where they used airplanes to transport people. The opposing side ambushed them at the Train Station, but they were counter-surrounded by them. They defeated an entire regiment of the opposing side on the spot, and later, using that same Train Station, they wiped out another two regiments, and afterwards went into the mountains to ambush a brigade of the Blue Team...

That was the first time the Red Team had defeated the Blue Team.

The Special Forces Soldier that the Red Team fielded was them, but the Special Forces Soldier fielded by the Blue Team was more than just one Special Forces Brigade. They used all sorts of high-tech weapons.

In their Special Forces Brigade at that time, a person not only had to have good physical fitness, they had to know two or three languages, be able to use computers, know how to dismantle and clear mines, and also know how to parachute, fly planes, operate tanks, boats, and ski...

They had to be skilled in all eighteen martial arts, proficient in everything.

Xiao Niannian really wanted to progress quickly; within one year, she had to graduate from the Military Academy.

It wasn't that she hadn't thought about joining the Special Forces Brigade directly.

But no matter where you are, qualifications matter. After she graduated from the Military Academy, people's perception of her would be different. The reforms she proposed wouldn't be taken as seriously otherwise.

Xiao Niannian helped Grandma Xiao get off the train, with Lu Jing carrying all the luggage.

"Grandma Xiao, Comrade Xiao."

Seeing Little Gao and the other soldiers saluting them, Xiao Niannian immediately returned a military salute.

"Hello."

"The Chief sent us to pick you up..."

After Little Gao saw Lu Jing, he saluted again.

"Comrade Lu."

The luggage in Lu Jing's hands had been taken, and he also returned a military salute.

"The Chief and Old Chief are waiting outside."

Soon, they arrived next to the car.

Old Chief Gu and Grandma Gu stepped forward to welcome Grandma Xiao.

"Sister-in-law Xiao."

"Old Chief Gu, Sister-in-law Gu."

Xiao Niannian was also embraced by Grandma Gu.

"Precious."

Xiao Niannian was held tightly, and she reached out to pat Grandma's back.

"Welcome, Sister-in-law Xiao."

Xiao Niannian spoke a few words with her Grandparents, and then talked with her father.

"Kid Lu, you sit in that car behind."

Chief Gu was somewhat wary of Lu Jing these days; he didn't want to give Lu Jing any chance to take his Precious daughter away. He wanted to keep his Precious daughter for a few more years.

How could Lu Jing not understand Uncle Gu's intention? But he didn't say anything, immediately agreed, and followed to get in the car behind.

In the car, Grandma Gu and Grandma Xiao were talking, and Old Chief Gu would occasionally chime in.

Chief Gu spoke up, asking his daughter about the past two months.

"Niannian, in your two months as Platoon Leader, did you encounter any difficulties?"

"Dad, I didn't encounter any difficulties these two months."

After talking for a while, the car arrived at the Gu Family residence.

Xiao Niannian helped Grandma get out of the car, and then helped her Grandparents get out.

Looking at this two-story western-style building, Grandma Xiao was somewhat shocked.

When she was young, she had been to the Capital City. This was a Military Unit Compound, with several soldiers standing guard at the entrance, which meant that Old Chief Gu's status was even more impressive than she had imagined.

"Sister-in-law Xiao, please come in. From now on, treat this as your home. Whenever you come to the Capital City, come stay at home..."

Grandma Gu warmly welcomed Grandma Xiao.

Grandma Xiao nodded with a smile, chatting very lively with Grandma Gu.

Old Chief Gu also followed them inside.

Chief Gu looked into the distance and saw Lu Jing get out of the car.

He spoke to send him away.

"Kid Lu, now that Aunt Xiao and my daughter have returned, thank you for bringing them back. Your Grandparents are also looking forward to you coming home, so hurry up and go home..."

Hearing this, Lu Jing looked into the distance and saw Niannian helping Grandma Xiao, who was talking with Grandma Gu, so he coughed.

Hearing Lu Jing's cough, Xiao Niannian immediately turned her head back.

Grandma Gu also heard the sound of Lu Jing's cough, and she immediately said.

"Xiao Jing, what are you still standing there for? Come in quickly, we'll eat together later. You've worked hard this time..."

Chief Gu's eyes widened; this Kid Lu was truly too cunning.

He coughed on purpose to attract the attention of his daughter and mother, and his mother even invited Lu Jing inside.

"Okay."

Lu Jing bypassed Chief Gu and walked towards the courtyard.

Chief Gu let out a heavy snort and followed him towards the front.

After arriving in the house, Grandma Xiao looked at the situation in the living room.

In the living room, there was a television set and a radio. Not far away was a telephone that she had only ever seen at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. These pieces of furniture and such were all made of very high-quality wood and looked very grand.

"Grandma Xiao, please have some tea."

Auntie Chen from the house smiled and brought over tea.

"Thank you."

Grandma Xiao had heard from Niannian that Old Chief Gu's family had an auntie who took care of Old Chief Gu and Sister-in-law Gu.

Xiao Niannian saw Lu Jing sitting on the sofa opposite, his gaze fixed on her.

Something up?

Xiao Niannian blinked.

Lu Jing shook his head slightly.

Xiao Niannian withdrew her gaze.

Chief Gu watched Lu Jing and his daughter exchanging glances, and the more he watched, the more uncomfortable he felt. He could now be certain that this Kid Lu had ideas about his daughter; he just wanted to take his daughter away.

He had finally managed to recognize his daughter, and Lu Jing actually wanted to take her away—absolutely impossible!!!

He would absolutely never allow Lu Jing to take his daughter away.
