Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 124 Pink Lady (20)

On this day, Ji Xiao finally received a notice asking her to return to the army secretly to cooperate with the operation.

"Hey, Dad."

"Xiaoxiao, I'll need you to cooperate with the operation next."

"Okay, Dad, I'll go ask for leave. How many days will it take?"

"Please excuse me for a month first! Mainly because we need your participation overseas."

"Yes."

Ji Xiao hung up the phone call from her father, turned back to the office, wrote a leave note, handed it to the department head, and packed up to go back.

Before leaving, Ji Xiao went to find Wan Ling first.

"Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong."

"I'm here. Xiaoxiao, why are you here? Don't you have classes today?"

"Cousin, I've asked for leave for something, and then I came to see you and tell you something. Do you need anything later?"

"Well, I'm getting ready to go to the company. Your second brother asked me to go to the company and wait for him so that we can go out and play in the afternoon."

"Okay! Are you ready? I'll take you there."

"Okay, wait till I get my bag back and we can leave."

Ji Xiao nodded, but did not go in. Instead, she waited for her at the door.

"Okay, let's go!"

After Wan Ling sat down, Ji Xiao started the car and came to the company. After finding an empty space to park the car, she followed Wan Ling upstairs.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Please come in."

"Second brother."

"How long will it take for Mr. Ji to get off work?"

When Ji Hao heard Wan Ling's voice, he quickly looked up, then put down the pen in his hand, stood up and walked to her side, naturally putting his arms around Wan Ling's waist.

He kissed her on the forehead, and Wan Ling also looked up and kissed him.

"Xiaoxiao, Lingling, you're here! Just wait for me for a few minutes."

"Okay, I'll sit over there and wait for you, you go to work first!"

Ji Xiao looked at the two people who were oblivious to the world around them, and the sweet atmosphere between them. If she didn't have something to do, she wouldn't want to talk, let alone see the two of them. She was really fed up with it, and felt full even before she had lunch.

So Ji Xiao rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "Second brother, can you leave me a way out? Wait until I finish talking, then you can be annoying, okay?"

When Wan Ling heard Ji Xiao talking, she realized that she had forgotten about her cousin.

So she leaned in Ji Hao's arms, reached out and patted him and said, "It's all your fault. Xiaoxiao is still here!"

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. Just sit here and wait for me. I'll take you to eat something delicious later."

"Well, you go and do your work first."

"Cough cough..."

"Xiao Xiao, do you have a cold?"

"No, can you please wait for me to finish and let me leave."

"Oh, if you have anything to say, I'm listening."

"I have to be away for a month for some business. During this month, you can bring your cousin back to live in the compound, and ask your third uncle and aunt to come back to live with you as well.

Even if you go out, it’s better to bring bodyguards with you. I’m not worried about Third Uncle and Third Aunt, but I’m more worried about you and cousin.”

When Ji Xiaoran asked him to go back to the compound, Ji Hao knew the seriousness of the matter, so he said in a serious tone, "Okay, I understand. I will take her back today. I will call Uncle San later. You guys should pay attention to safety.

Don't worry, I can protect myself, okay?"

"Heh~ Are you sure? How long has it been since you last practiced martial arts? What do you think of yourself that you need me to tell you?

Now you are probably the worst in our family, my good second brother!"

"Xiao Xiao, are you sure you want to say this? How about you come to work at the company and I'll go home?"

"Uh~ Second brother, you may have forgotten that I can't do business directly! But this is not an excuse for you to neglect exercise. You know the specific situation of our family."

"Okay. I will definitely get my skills back during this time."

"I'm leaving first, I have to meet up with my brother.

Goodbye, cousin."

"Goodbye, stay safe."

While the two siblings were chatting, Wan Ling sat quietly on the sofa and listened. She only asked Ji Hao after Ji Xiao left.

"Mr. Ji~ Am I going back with you tonight?"

"Well, it might affect us, so we have to go back to the compound and not let them have any worries."

"Okay! I'll listen to you."

"I'll make the arrangements and call Uncle San, and then we can go."

"Ah."

Ji Hao spent a few minutes arranging his afternoon work, and then called his third uncle. Then he picked up his coat and left the company with Wan Ling.

At home, after lunch, Ji Xiao said to the rest of the family, "Grandpa, the house will be handed over to you. I have asked my second brother to bring my cousin back to live from today, and asked him to notify my third uncle and the others to come back as well.

Mom, please continue to take leave and stay at home! Your school has been in turmoil recently, and my brother, dad and I can only feel at ease if you are at home."

"Okay, I get it, Xiaoxiao, you guys should be careful!"

"Mom knows the rules and won't ask. Mom only asks that you and your brother return safely."

"Yes, I promise to bring my brother back safely."

At this time, the grandmother was already crying, because she knew that her little granddaughter, although nominally retired from the army, was actually on standby at all times.

This time it must be an emergency, so she was called back to participate in the operation.

Ji Xiao walked to her grandmother, hugged her, then took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her tears.

"Grandma, I will definitely come back safely, including my brother. You should take care of yourself and don't let me worry."

"Beep~beep~beep~"

"Grandma knows. Okay, the car to pick you up is here. Go ahead! There are so many people at home! And we are in the compound now, so there won't be any danger."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Ji Xiao then turned and left, walking towards the vehicle outside the door, moving forward step by step with determination.

There are responsibilities ahead and there are responsibilities behind. Only with unswerving faith can we move forward.

In the car, Ji Xiao saw his father.

"Dad, why are you here?"

"I'll go with you, you go to the back and change your clothes first."

"Yes."

Then, Ji Xiao picked up the clothes placed aside, pulled the middle curtain, and started changing clothes in the back seat.

Luckily, she had changed her inner clothes into a sports bra and a pair of combat boots when she knew she was going to the border, so now she only had to change into her camouflage clothes.

Then she changed the phoenix feather to a more low-key color and shape, and opened the curtain.

"Dad, I'm done changing. Wanna drive over?"

"No, it'll be faster to take a helicopter. Close your eyes and take a rest. I'll call you when we get there."

"Ok."

Soon Ji Xiao and his father boarded a helicopter and took several hours to reach the border. They then changed to a car and arrived at the border to meet Ji Ao.

Ji Ao looked at the two people getting off the car and walked over.

"Dad, Xiaoxiao, you are here."

"Big brother."

"Well, how many people came this time?"

"There are 20 people on our team, including me. The Tigers team has 15 people, led by Jiang Chenke."

"Okay, go and inform them that the meeting will start in five minutes. Xiaoxiao, follow me."

"Yes."
