Chen Wan and her group had a simple meal, but as they were about to leave, they heard someone in the tent say that for safety reasons, people were not allowed to leave the base after 6 PM, and they would have to wait until 8 AM the next day to leave.
So, Chen Wan and her group had no choice but to stay another night at the base.
However, Chen Wan thought it might be beneficial for Jiang Wanning, who wasn’t in good health, to rest for another night here.
Jiang Yanxin gave Jiang Wanning some fever-reducing and anti-allergy medicine, and the rash on Jiang Wanning’s face had improved significantly.
She had already fallen asleep again.
Chen Wan thought for a moment and said to Jiang Zhaoyuan and Ye Lan, “Mom and Dad, you should rest early too.
We’ll leave first thing in the morning.”
“Alright, alright,” the two elders quickly agreed.
In the D Zone tents, lights usually went out by 9 PM.
By around 7 PM, since there weren’t many entertainment activities, most people were already lying down, preparing to sleep.
Chen Wan, holding Yang Yang in her arms, snuggled up to Jiang Yanxin and softly asked, “Wife? How about you and the baby sleep in my arms?” Jiang Yanxin glanced at Chen Wan, took Yang Yang from her arms, laid out some clothes on the ground, and turned her back to Chen Wan, hugging Yang Yang to sleep, not wanting to pay any attention to Chen Wan.
Seeing that her wife was ignoring her and had taken the little one away, Chen Wan had no choice but to lay out a lot of clothes behind Jiang Yanxin and lay down behind her.
She initially wanted to reach out and hug Jiang Yanxin, but she hesitated and withdrew her hand, not daring to hug her.
Although Ye Lan and Jiang Zhaoyuan had gone to bed early, they hadn’t fallen asleep.
They occasionally glanced over to see what was happening with their eldest daughter and Chen Wan.
Seeing the scene just now, they exchanged a look and shook their heads.
They had been in the base for a long time and were worried that Chen Wan might abandon her wife and daughter like some of the alphas in the base, seeking out more attractive Omegas.
Their daughter was stubborn, and their advice earlier had been to no avail.
Meanwhile, the military’s top leader was listening to his most trusted Major General Yao report on the latest investigation.
He didn’t plan to hold anyone accountable for Xiang Jiawei’s incident, but he still wanted to know who was responsible, so he had his most trusted confidant investigate.
“Commander, I’ve already investigated the matter you instructed.
The ones who dealt with Xiang Jiawei were two female alphas who just joined the base today.
Since entering the D Zone, they’ve been cleaning up several groups of hooligans.
They came with four people, but it was mainly these two female alphas who took action.
After being captured by Xiang Jiawei, they managed to handle all of Xiang Jiawei’s men.
They seem to have come to the base to find someone, and I found out that one of their family members is ill and has been in a coma,” Major General Yao respectfully reported to the leader.
“So, these two female alphas are quite interesting?” The leader had assumed that a group of people or the victims themselves had risen up against Xiang Jiawei, but he hadn’t expected two people to take down all of Xiang Jiawei’s men.
“Yes, Commander.
The Omegas who escaped from Xiang Jiawei’s place speak highly of the two, saying their skills are not only excellent but that they are also proficient with firearms. After disarming Xiang Jiawei’s men, they used firepower to suppress them, forcing them to retreat into the building, which was eventually set on fire,” Major General Yao continued to relay the information he had gathered.
“So, these two alphas are rare talents? Not only did they punish the lawless hooligans in the D Zone, but they also dealt with Xiang Jiawei and his gang.
Xiao Yao, bring them to me.
In these times, we need young people with such patriotic fervor.
But first, have the special forces test their skills.
If they’re as good as people say, then bring them to see me.
Otherwise, don’t waste time,” the leader said, picking up a book and ending the conversation.
Major General Yao respectfully exited.
Given the leader’s apparent interest in these two individuals, Major General Yao decided to personally go to the D Zone to “invite” them.
Soon, she ordered her 14 personal guards, armed with live ammunition, to enter the D Zone.
This was not only to intimidate Chen Wan and her group but also to ensure safety, as the chaos in the C and D Zones was well-known within the base.
At 7:30 PM, many people in the D Zone were still awake.
The weather was hot, and many were cooling off outside their tents.
Seeing the military personnel arrive, they fell silent, curious about where the military was headed at this hour, casting curious glances.
Major General Yao quickly led her team to Tent 1267 in the D Zone.
So much had happened at Tent 1267 today that the people in the nearby tents hadn’t even finished digesting the first piece of gossip before the second one came along.
Overall, it had been a lively day for those watching the drama unfold.
Seeing military personnel at the entrance of Tent 1267, a tall, thin man at the entrance of the tent across the way quietly called inside, “Hey, something’s happening again across the way.
The military’s here, come take a look.”
His words drew the attention of the gossiping crowd inside the tent, who gathered at the entrance to watch.
Inside Chen Wan’s tent, everyone was already preparing to sleep when Major General Yao entered with her team.
Before she could speak, one of her male alpha subordinates shouted, “Who is Chen Wan? Who is Qin Ke? Stand up quickly.”
Major General Yao had already found out their names, so the male alpha called them out directly.
Chen Wan, exhausted from a long day, was about to fall asleep but immediately woke up at the commotion outside.
Qin Ke also woke up, as did Jiang Yanxin, who had been angry with Chen Wan.
Seeing that there were 15 people, all armed, Chen Wan knew they couldn’t confront them head-on.
She decided to first ask what was going on and then plan their next move.
Major General Yao gestured for her subordinates to be quiet and smiled at Chen Wan and Qin Ke, who had stood up.
“Are you the two who dealt with Xiang Jiawei’s men today? Due to the special nature of this matter, the base’s leader asked me to invite you over for a chat.
We are military personnel and mean no harm.”
Chen Wan and Qin Ke exchanged a glance, then looked at Major General Yao, the smiling tiger.
“I don’t understand what you mean.
The fire at Xiang Jiawei’s place was due to unsafe electrical use.
If you’re looking for someone responsible, you might want to check with the base’s electricians.”
“You dare to play games with the Major General? Do you have a death wish?” Before Major General Yao could respond, one of her guards had already raised a gun at Chen Wan.
The smile on Major General Yao’s face disappeared, and she scolded, “Hey, how can you be so rude to someone the leader wants to see? Lower your gun.”
“Yes, Major General,” the guard quickly complied.
Chen Wan watched as they played good cop, bad cop, her expression unchanged.
“So, we have no choice but to go?”
“Yes, after all, we’re in the base.
It’s best to follow the military’s lead and be good citizens,” Major General Yao continued to smile.
“And you don’t need to do anything, just come over for a chat.
We won’t do anything to you.”
Chen Wan clearly didn’t believe the woman’s words, but they had no way out.
If she had known this would happen, she wouldn’t have stayed at the base to rest in the afternoon.
She hadn’t expected the military to trace it back to her and Qin Ke so quickly.
“Alright, my friend and I will go with the Major General.
Everyone in the tent needs to rest, so let’s not disturb them,” Chen Wan said calmly, as if she were just going out for a stroll, showing no fear.
“Miss Chen is straightforward.
Then, let’s go,” Major General Yao admired Chen Wan’s courage.
Despite seeing so many armed people, she remained calm and made her decision, something many couldn’t do.
Major General Yao found the situation interesting.
These two female alphas seemed to have some real skills.
Chen Wan glanced at Jiang Yanxin, signaling her to be at ease, and then she and Qin Ke followed Major General Yao out of the tent.
Ye Lan and Jiang Zhaoyuan were worried.
“How did they get involved with the military just after coming back? What should we do?”
“Mom, don’t worry.
Chen Wan and Qin Ke know what they’re doing.
They’ll be fine,” Jiang Yanxin reassured her mother, though it was unclear if she was also reassuring herself.
Chen Wan and Qin Ke followed Major General Yao to the A Zone again.
So much had happened in just one day, and they had already been to the A Zone twice.
Major General Yao led them to a five-story building, heavily guarded by armed personnel.
Chen Wan guessed that military leaders lived there.
Major General Yao stopped in front of the building and smiled at Chen Wan and Qin Ke.
“Please wait here.
I need to inform the guards.”
She signaled her guards to keep an eye on Chen Wan and Qin Ke, then went inside the lobby, taking out a walkie-talkie to communicate with someone.
“Captain Xing, I’ve already spoken with your squad leader.
He should have informed you.
Why aren’t your people here yet?”
“They’re ready and on their way,” Captain Xing replied over the walkie-talkie.
When Major General Yao returned, three more men had appeared on the open ground in front of the building.
Two of them approached Qin Ke and Chen Wan without saying a word, immediately throwing punches at them.
Chen Wan clenched her fists, sidestepping the attack.
As she dodged, she looked at Major General Yao.
“Is this how the military treats its guests?”
Major General Yao just smiled at Chen Wan, then casually said, “Well, you need to show some skills to see if you’re worth treating well.”
Chen Wan suppressed her anger, knowing that confronting them head-on wouldn’t end well.
She had already noticed several sniper positions on the top floor of the building, and with the guards all armed, if she and Qin Ke lost control and killed military personnel, they might end up riddled with bullets.
