729: Colonel Lu, nice to meet you!

"Ate."

Xiao Niannian and Chief Gu exchanged questions and answers.

After talking for a while, Chief Gu brought up the matter of Rongcheng.

"Your third brother has been discharged from the hospital. The doctors said he's recovering very well... This is all thanks to your master..."

"Dad went to see your master a couple of days ago..."

When Xiao Niannian heard her father say this, she understood. Her father and Grandparents wouldn't usually contact her master. And her master's identity was special; among the families in the Capital City, besides the old patriarchs, if anyone else were to contact him, it would draw attention.

"Dad, not many people know about me becoming a disciple, right?"

Xiao Niannian had told her master that she didn't want this matter publicized.

"Yes, only the top Commanders know about this, and others have been cautioned... However, the Qiao Family and a few other families definitely know..."

Hearing her father mention the Qiao Family, Xiao Niannian's anger instantly flared up.

"Dad, I think the Qiao Family is definitely involved in Third Brother's injury this time. And the person who called Grandma."

Hearing his daughter's words, Chief Gu immediately said,

"The person who called your Grandma has been investigated. Someone gave him ten yuan to make that call. We've already had a portrait drawn and are looking for him..."

"Good."

Chief Gu then instructed again,

"When you and Xiao Jing go on missions, you must be extra careful..."

"We will be careful."

Chief Gu thought of Chief Li and the others in Rongcheng, and said with a smile,

"Precious, do you know that Old Li from the Rongcheng Military Region has submitted several reports, wanting us to agree to transfer you there..."

Xiao Niannian heard her father's words and replied,

"Dad, this matter, when I was in Rongcheng... Chief Li wanted to transfer me then..."

So that's what happened.

Chief Gu was happy in his heart; his daughter was truly excellent.

His position was higher than Old Li's, but Old Li wanted to transfer his daughter not because of him, but because he saw how excellent his daughter was.

His daughter being sought after by several units made him much happier than his own achievements or promotions.

"My daughter is truly excellent! Dad is proud of you..."

Chief Gu praised Xiao Niannian thoroughly.

"Dad, if you keep praising me, I'll get conceited."

Hearing his daughter's words, Chief Gu burst out laughing.

"You can be as conceited as you want. Your dad is already conceited..."

Among his Comrades-in-arms, peers, and even Commanders with higher ranks, whose daughter was more capable than his?

His wife truly gave him a wonderful daughter!

He also had to thank Godmother Grandma Xiao, who raised his daughter for so many years and taught her so well... Lu Jing listened to his father-in-law and wife talk for over ten minutes. He started by giving his wife a good massage, but after ten minutes, he stopped, yet his wife still didn't pay attention to him.

He suddenly felt a bit jealous.

Lu Jing hugged his wife in his arms.

Xiao Niannian looked up at Lu Jing, squinting at him.

Lu Jing made no other moves, just held her like that.

"I called your uncle yesterday; he has fully recovered now. A lot has happened in Hong Kong City these days..."

Chief Gu was calling his daughter from home today, so naturally, he could say anything.

"Your mother also worried about your third brother's condition and called me several times."

His wife could call him, he could call his wife, and she could call the Xiao Family, but it wasn't good to call the Military Region Hospital directly.

So, some messages were conveyed by him.

He was even happier because it meant he got to talk to his wife more often.

He hadn't seen his wife in several months! Last time, he even kissed his wife! That night, he couldn't sleep... He was as happy as a young boy back then!

Listening to her father's happy words, Xiao Niannian smiled.

Her mother had come to Yangcheng a few times, and her father had also come a few times. Last time, her father and mother secretly met but didn't tell them.

How could she not know? The birds had already told her everything.

However, this matter was confidential! She also pretended not to know!

Her father was like a chatterbox now, but he still remembered to keep it a secret and didn't mention it.

"Dad."

Lu Jing's voice sounded.

Chief Gu's voice changed slightly.

"Xiao Jing, aren't you busy with work today?"

"Dad, I've also been promoted."

What?

Chief Gu was about to tell Lu Jing to work hard, but hearing this, he immediately changed his words.

"Congratulations, that's truly outstanding!"

Chief Gu knew that Lu Jing should have been promoted two years ago, but Chief Lu and Old Lu had been holding him back. With Lu Jing's merits, he could have been promoted long ago.

This promotion was also due to Captain Chen and others repeatedly submitting reports, which were approved by the higher-ups.

Chief Gu became much more serious when talking to Lu Jing.

After a while, Chief Gu hung up the phone.

Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing and said with a smile,

"Colonel Lu, please guide me!"

Hearing his wife's words, Lu Jing held his wife's hand.

"Major Xiao, please guide me!"

Xiao Niannian laughed.

Lu Jing leaned in, about to kiss her, when the phone rang again.

Lu Jing answered the phone.

"Hello."

"Xiao Jing, where's Niannian?"

On the phone was his father, Chief Lu.

"I'm here, Dad, hello."

"Hello, Niannian, Dad congratulates you..."

Chief Lu had called several times, but the line was always busy. He knew it must be Old Gu on the phone.

Now, he finally got through.

Xiao Niannian also talked to Chief Lu for over ten minutes.

Lu Jing sat beside her, holding his wife's hand, listening quietly.

"Dad has other things to do, so I'll hang up now."

After hanging up, Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing.

"Your dad didn't even mention you! You've fallen out of favor."

Hearing his wife's teasing words, Lu Jing laughed.

"I fell out of favor the moment you came to my house."

Lu Jing had known this for a long time!

Now, when family members called, they were always looking for his wife.

Even if he answered the phone, they would ask where his wife was and tell her to pick up the phone.

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian recalled that after she returned to the Gu Family and later met Father Lu, Mother Lu, Grandpa Lu, and Grandma Lu, they were all extremely kind to her.

Father Lu and Mother Lu weren't very good at sweet-talking, but every time they met, they would shower her with gifts and all sorts of things non-stop.

Not to mention Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu, who were just like her Grandparents, wanting to give her the best things in the world.

Lu Jing looked at the food on the table and said with a smile,

"I'll go warm up the food."

His gaze fell on the bottle of wine not far away.

Xiao Niannian understood immediately.

"No more drinking."

Lu Jing was a little disappointed. They had only drunk a little of the wine; he had been thinking today... "Okay, let's eat."

Just after they finished eating, the phone rang again.
