Chapter 1844: Mysterious Call
The northwest of the territory was bitterly cold, while the area of ââNanguang was shining brightly, the lowest temperature there was only at 8 degrees. Compared with the -10 degrees, Nanguang was as warm as spring.
Ye Zhifan, who was in suit and leather shoes, entered the center of the military region for the first time, contrasting sharply with the soldiers wearing dark green uniforms.
Seeing that the doors of the office building were guarded heavily, Ye Zhifan couldnât help swallowing his saliva. For the first time as an official in the past two decades, he had finally been in contact with a high-ranking official.
He couldnât help putting his left hand in his pocket, his fingers touched the somewhat cool jade pendant, and a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes.
Yes, he felt anxious!
The reason he could talk to the son of the Du family was entirely because⦠He once again received a call from the mysterious man. It had been more than ten years since he received the call from the mysterious man!
When he received the call again, he could hear that the manâs disguised voice hadnât changed much. Probably he was getting old; his voice was not as impetuous as before.
At the moment, his voice sounded from the phone; Ye Zhifan almost thought he was going to take jade pendant away, because⦠he didnât raise Ye Jian badly at all, but watched her go farther and farther, stand higher and higher, making him, a director, feeling more and more helpless!
So he was afraid, afraid that the master of the jade pendant, who had basically given him his career, would take all his possessions in anger, leaving him with nothing!
But he did not expect that the mysterious person who had not contacted him for more than ten years would actually say, âSend Ye Ying to the army as soon as possible. I will provide the opportunity!â
Send Ying Ying to the army⦠This was what he dreamed of!
And so he traveled to Nanguang as instructed, and rescued Mr. Du, who was retaliated by gangsters while he was eating,⦠The man who lived in the capital and served as the commander of a brigade in the southern armyâs Guangzhou area!
This was something he couldnât accomplish even after racking his brains in Yunnan Province, but he had actually done it easily in less than four days in Nanguang. Although he was stabbed in the back, it was really worth it! Really worth it!
âCommander, Director Ye has arrived.â The guard knocked on the door and announced.
There was no immediate answer. Just when Ye Zhifan was a little nervous, the half-covered door suddenly opened. A man of medium stature but exceptionally strong body feature opened the door.
His gaze fell directly on Ye Zhifan, and he laughed out happily, âDirector Ye, I have been waiting for you, come on in, please have a seat.â
This man was the eldest son of Staff Du, Du Kaiwei, thirty-three years old. He was the commander of a regiment of the Nanguang Military Region currently.
His enthusiasm suddenly calmed down Ye Zhifanâs heart that had been nervous. Even that stab on his back didnât feel that painful now because he could see Commander Duâs smile. It worth it, really worth it!
âDirector Ye, you should have time to have lunch with me after this official business is done!â Du Kaiwei not only greeted him personally but also made him a cup of tea, and ordered the guards to retreat, leaving only the two of them in the entire office, âItâs not easy for you to come to Nanguang for a business trip, and I donât want to delay your business too much. I wonât be tedious in thanking you. There wonât be sincerity if I talk too much. Letâs just come to something practical that can make you happy.â
Director Ye could staunchly block a knife for him. If he hadnât blocked it, that knife would cut Du Kaiweiâs neck and kill him on the spot!
He couldnât neglect this sort of gratitude!
Ye Zhifan smiled very elegantly. He was very happy to see Mr. Duâs calm, unhurried, and warm hospitality.
