Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Capítulo 2001: Chapter 1994: Emergency Call

“What? The former Gan Tian? If she was killed, she might have already turned into a skeleton by now. Even if we find her, there’s no way to confront her.”

An Hao patted his head, very frustrated, and said, “Look at my head, I’ve actually overlooked this! So it seems, we can only let her roam free.”

“That might really be hard to say,” Qin Jian’s frown deepened, “However, she won’t be able to stay in the army for much longer.”

“What do you mean?”

“Her military service term is already over! As long as she’s not promoted, she must retire and go home. This could dismantle her plan to remain undercover, right?”

“It’s just frustrating that we can’t expose her true colors, it makes me feel quite oppressed,” An Hao said.

“I feel the same way! But as long as she makes a move, over time, she’ll definitely slip up. We’ll find evidence for sure! Don’t worry, it’s just a matter of time!”

“Hmm.” An Hao nodded.

“So… will you still go to the army with me?” Qin Jian asked.

“No,” An Hao shook his head, “Since we can’t get evidence, going is pointless. Worse, it might make her more alert, making it even harder to catch her later.”

“Alright. If you’re not going, I’ll head to the army. Are you going to the hospital today or resting at home?” Qin Jian asked An Hao.

“I’ll go to the hospital to have a look. It’s been a while…”

“Be careful on the way.”

……………………

Qin Jian returned to the army and had just sat down when a call came in from the military department.

Qin Jian answered the call, and his superiors required him to rush to the military department for a meeting immediately.

After he hung up, a call from the division headquarters came through.

“Qin Jian, did you get the call?” Zhang Jianguo asked.

“I received it, they asked for a meeting at the military department,” Qin Jian replied.

“Good. Since you got the call, hurry up and go!” Zhang Jianguo urged.

Qin Jian was a bit puzzled: “Commander, this call is suspicious!”

“What’s suspicious about it?”

“They only said to come for an emergency meeting, arrive within half an hour. It’s urgent and yet no details about the meeting were disclosed…” This sort of thing hardly happens, hence Qin Jian felt something was off.

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t over the phone. If they call a meeting, just go! We’ll see you at the military department in half an hour!” Zhang Jianguo said.

“Yes!”

Qin Jian hung up the phone and went to the military department.

Outside the general’s office

Qin Jian saw Zhang Jianguo, with a cigarette in hand, pacing back and forth.

“Commander, just you and me?” Qin Jian saluted and then asked.

“Yes! Just you and me.”

“Commander, what’s going on here? Now that it’s just the two of us, can you tell me?” Qin Jian asked quietly.

“I want to know too, but I don’t know either. I got here a bit earlier than you, someone’s inside the general’s office, and I don’t know what they’re discussing.” Zhang Jianguo felt puzzled too; this was the first time he’d encountered such a situation.

The two were speculating here.

Suddenly they heard General Guan inside say, “Let the two of them come in.”

Soon after, the door opened, and the general’s aide came out.

“Commander Zhang, Captain Qin! The chief asks you both to come in!”

Zhang Jianguo and Qin Jian exchanged a look and walked in together.
