109 Coming Home (2/2)

Roughly patting the man's back he says, ”Thank you.”

”Mmm,” General Guo smiled in return.

Suddenly the sound of urgent footsteps approached the tent, ”Commander Bai!”

Both men turned toward the sound of the soldier's voice, their expressions alert.

Exiting the tent first, Bai Han met with the sight of a young soldier breathing heavily as he regained his breath from running.

”What is it?”

”A letter! There's a letter!”

”A letter?” His eyebrows furrowed. ”From who?”

”It's from the governor of the Jilin province, Duyi Zhong.”

”And? What's so important about this letter?”

”He…He says he knows something about the young miss!”

A harsh wind hit their faces, but none of them cared, the burning fire in Bai Han's chest lit up once more. His chilled expression slightly cracked.

Unbeknownst to Bai Han, his voice shook as he spoke, ”Where is it?”

Without delay, the soldier took out a letter from his pockets and delivered it to the anxious Bai Han.

Grabbing the letter urgently from the soldier, his hands shook as he opened it revealing a set of written words.

After a few seconds, Bai Han suddenly burst out into a fit of hearty laughter, and a rare hint of joy could be seen on his face.

”Prepare our men! We're heading out to Jilin province!”

”Yes, commander!” The soldier nodded and rushed away.

With a smile still spread across his face, Bai Han enters his tent, General Guo following him behind.

”What did it say, what does he know about Rin?”

Bai Han turned toward the anxious-looking burly man and laughed while slapping his back, a fiery expression overcoming his wrinkled face.

”Haha! Our foolish girl is finally returning home.”

General Guo's eyes lit up.

Bai Han places his helmet on his head and walked out, a new sense of confidence welling up inside of him.

That foolish girl, his ugly granddaughter was finally coming home!
