In the deep of night, at a coastal military base in Binhai, within a small red villa.
Inside Office No. 1 of the commanding officer, the lights were still brightly lit. As the top commander of the stationed troops, Situ Zhenjiang was still busy reviewing docunts.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by the ringing of the phone on the desk.
Situ Zhenjiang put down his pen and picked up the receiver.
"Hello, Commander Situ. This is Xu Weiguo." From the other end of the line ca the enthusiastic voice of Xu Weiguo. As the head of the entire Binhai's action departnt, his tone towards Situ Zhenjiang was extrely respectful and courteous.
"Oh, Xiao Xu, what's the matter?"
Though the military and the action departnt belong to separate systems, to so extent, both are dedicated to defending the nation, hence their relationship is not distant. Situ Zhenjiang was generally polite to Xu Weiguo.
"Commander Situ, I must congratulate you; you've raised an excellent granddaughter!" Xu Weiguo laughed so hard on the other end that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Congratulations?" Situ Zhenjiang frowned even more.
At that mont, he imdiately thought of Situ Yan!
Because, among all his descendants, only Situ Yan had not joined the military. Instead, she entered the action departnt, which related her to that departnt.
"Xu XX, well, tell why I should be pleased?" Situ Zhenjiang's tone began to turn indifferent as he asked nonchalantly.
"It's like this, hasn't Commander Situ watched tonight's news? Perhaps tomorrow, you'll see it in the papers. Xiao Yan has achieved another accomplishnt!"
Xu Weiguo then proceeded to narrate how Situ Yan, acting bravely and decisively tonight, skillfully dealt with a group of foreign drug traffickers, ultimately causing the traffickers to be eliminated in an explosion.
Though everyone, including Xu Weiguo himself, knew the situation wasn't as simple as Situ Yan described, they didn't care.
As long as the matter was resolved satisfactorily, it was good. The city officials were also willing to credit the success to Situ Yan.
This way, they could establish an outstanding example, give the citizens an explanation, and regain the action departnt's dignity, leaving everyone happy!
"Commander Situ, that's the situation. The city leaders just finished a eting, and they've decided to give Xiao Yan a special comndation. Binhai City really needs such a positively recognized heroic woman!" Xu Weiguo continued to say with a smile.
However, if he could see Situ Zhenjiang's expression at that mont, he certainly wouldn't be laughing.
Because, at that ti, there wasn't a hint of joy on Situ Zhenjiang's face; there was only deep gloom and indifference!
To Situ Zhenjiang, he didn't care about whatever achievent Situ Yan accomplished or what comndation she received; those things were not important to him!
He remained resolute in his disapproval of Situ Yan disobeying his orders to beco a female action officer, so no matter what achievents she made, it would not make a difference!
What's more, as Situ Yan was becoming more successful on her chosen path, it indirectly proved his obsession was wrong, which was a harsh slap in the face, and that was what Situ Zhenjiang could not tolerate the most!
"Commander Situ, the saying that 'great heroes erge from the military' is truly not a lie!"
Every word of Xu Weiguo's jovial remarks seed to poke at Situ Zhenjiang's sore spots: "Xiao Yan is so outstanding now, it must all be because of your excellent upbringing from a young age!"
"Xu XX, thank you," Situ Zhenjiang said coldly.
After hanging up the phone, Situ Zhenjiang felt a burning pain on his pride!
He imdiately picked up the receiver again and dialed Jing Jie's number, speaking coldly: "I don't care what you're doing, co to my office imdiately, quickly!"
...
Jing Jie was dumbfounded upon receiving the Old Man's call.
What got into Grandpa, calling him over so late?
However, from the tone in Situ Zhenjiang's voice on the phone, it didn't sound like a joke, but rather extrely serious, so he didn't dare hesitate.
Without a word, he got dressed and imdiately set out, driving hurriedly to the military base.
Twenty minutes later, Jing Jie drove his specially plated military vehicle into the courtyard of the small red villa, then hurriedly got out of the car and rushed to the Old Man's office.
"Grandpa, did you call for ?" As soon as he entered, Jing Jie stood straight and asked.
This was his upbringing since childhood; any descendant of the Situ Family was both a child and a subordinate, and had to maintain a soldierly deanor when facing elders!
"The man you ntioned before, who is closely associated with Situ Yan and has infatuated her, what's his na?" Situ Zhenjiang asked coldly, sitting upright in his office chair.
"His na is Jiang Feng!" Jing Jie answered imdiately: "Grandfather, why are you suddenly asking about him?"
Since that ti he had caught Situ Yan and Jiang Feng in a compromising situation at Situ Yan's house, Jing Jie had been afraid to report the matter to the Old Man.
He feared that the Old Man would get angry and cause unanticipated consequences.
So, facing the Old Man's cold questioning at the mont, he felt a bit guilty.
"What is the current situation between those two?" Situ Zhenjiang asked coldly again.
"Uh, I'm not too sure about the specifics, but they probably haven't broken contact yet..." Jing Jie thought for a mont, offering a more neutral response.
"Then find a way to get them to break it off quickly!" Situ Zhenjiang said coldly: "Preferably by tomorrow!"
Jing Jie was slightly surprised, so urgent? He hadn't made any preparations yet...
"The day after tomorrow is my birthday, and the He Family will be coming. I don't want any jokes to be made at that ti; the Situ Family cannot afford that embarrassnt." Situ Zhenjiang said emphatically.
"Understood!" Jing Jie nodded heavily, then appeared a bit troubled: "But I'm just worried that Situ Yan will be stubborn to the end, and that Jiang Feng is the type who refuses to be coerced either..."
"That's exactly why I'm sending you!" Situ Zhenjiang said coldly: "I don't care what thods you use; I'm entrusting you with this matter. In short, I want this done smoothly. Situ Yan's life is tied to the He Family, alive or dead. If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you accountable!"
"I'll do my best..." Jing Jie responded.
"Not your best, you must, without fail!" Situ Zhenjiang's face was ashen!
"Yes!! I'll ensure it happens!!" Jing Jie imdiately straightened up and answered loudly!
Then, taking a deep breath, burdened with heavy pressure, he left the Old Man's office, gritting his teeth.
