Chapter 49 - Going to Stone City (2/2)

As Qin Zhan’s bulky figure disappeared from his view, Leader Lian—who was in charge of the military base in Cloud City—heaved a sigh of relief. Qin Zhan was appointed to investigate the arms leaking matter. In the first two months, he was nonchalant; and everyone thought that he was appointed by the superiors to do nothing.

However, tonight, he brought the entire army out for action and had ruined a deal at the harbor, wiping out two parties at once and successfully saving an entire cargo of guns, bullets, and medicine. The case that dragged on for more than half a year and had no traces at all… finally ended perfectly and unexpectedly.

Tonight, the fight at the pier made everyone open their mouths in shock.

No one expected Qin Zhan, who was only twenty-five, to be a marksman that scored every shot he made. Also, his fighting skills were good enough for him to go against ten people at once. Under his command, they automatically had the winning hand from the start. Even if the other party had two times more men than theirs, they were still destroyed completely.

The weapons and people caught from this operation were enough to let everyone in the base gain a badge, and they probably had to change the way they called Qin Zhan the next time they saw him.

The cold wind blew again, and Leader Lian—who was standing at the same spot—felt that he broke out in a cold sweat. When he wanted to count the manpower, he remembered that he received a call before the operation. Hurriedly and anxiously, he walked into the room and reported to Qin Zhan. “Major, at 8:30 pm tonight, I received a call looking for you. The other party left a message saying that they hoped you will attend the party in Stone City three days later. This is the address.”

“Mm, I got it.” Qin Zhan took off his shirt and changed into a clean white one. When he buttoned the first button, he looked extremely smart and stern.

He flipped the documents on the table and conveniently kept the note in his hand as he recorded down the name of the hotel.

This was because two days ago when he was talking to his friend on the phone, he revealed that he was about to return so the other party had invited him to join the party. Coincidentally, the address was the next place he was stationed at so he could not reject him.

Two days later, Song Ye brought Xu Zihang to Stone City with Zhao Zhen’s car.

At the start, when Xu Zihang saw Zhao Zhen, he politely greeted him, “Hello, Uncle.” Later on, when he saw Zhao Zhen’s awkward and confused expression, he found out that the person in front of him was not Song Ye’s young father; and they did not have any blood relations.

“Then, how did Uncle Zhao and Song Ye meet?” Xu Zihang asked curiously. Based on Song Ye’s cold personality, it was impossible that they were friends despite their differences in age.

In the next second, Zhao Zhen laughed. “I think it’s a type of fate. Now, I’m kind of Song Ye’s subordinate; and I’m working for her.”

What? Even if Xu Zihang had thought of thousands of possibilities, he was still pretty frightened. Not to mention how ridiculous it was for a thirty-year-old man with a successful career to be Song Ye’s subordinate, the jewelry store that Zhao Zhen owned was the largest one in Cloud City. Then, logically speaking… “Is Yu Fu Jewelry Song Ye’s?”

When Zhao Zhen saw his face like he wanted to swallow a chicken egg, he smiled even more interestingly. “Mm, Song Ye’s in school so I take care of the shop for now.”

Even after a long time, Xu Zihang did not recover his senses. As the car wobbled over the countless flashes of scenery, he turned his tensed neck and landed his gaze on the girl who was basking under the sunlight by the window.
