Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

”Alright. I still have something on. See you next time.” Minister Xia nodded and smiled subtly. As he spoke, he stood up and walked in front of Mr. Fu. His sternness from before was gone. He smiled and said, ”Engineer Fu, I’m sorry that I can’t accompany you today. Please be careful.”

”Minister Xia, you’re being too polite. I’m very grateful that you took the time to see us even though you’re so busy. If there’s a chance, I’ll definitely have a good chat with you.”

The elegant Mr. Fu smiled back. His tone was sincere and polite, causing the smile on Minister Xia’s face to deepen. He reached out his hand and gestured for Mr. Fu to leave first. He was polite and sincere.

As Xia Jinyuan’s eldest uncle, he naturally had to show his respect to his nephew’s father-in-law.

Ye Jian stood at the side silently. She was the junior. She should be the last.

After walking out of the conference room, the guard beside Minister Xia immediately walked over and saluted the three chiefs. After the salute, he said, ”Minister, the car is ready.”

”Okay.” Minister Xia nodded slightly. Then, he turned around and said to Mr. Fu, ”I’ll make a move first. Excuse me.”

”Take care.”

Since Minister Xia had given him a certain amount of respect, Mr. Fu naturally wouldn’t be rude. They chatted happily. Although they were polite, they weren’t strangers.

Commander Xia watched as his eldest brother left. He couldn’t help but smile. His eldest brother was a busy person. It wasn’t easy for him to take an hour out of his schedule.

”Commander Xia, I have to thank you for today. If not, my daughter and I wouldn’t have been able to see Minister Xia so easily. Thank you.”

Today was probably the day Mr. Fu thanked someone the most. Even if it was… even if it was the Xia family that might become his in-laws in the future, Mr. Fu wouldn’t dare be casual about it.

In-laws were not exactly close family members. It was reasonable for them not to help out.

They chose to help out of kindness, not out of duty. Mr. Fu wasn’t a scholar who couldn’t tell right from wrong.

Commander Xia didn’t want his in-law to be polite with him. He smiled and said, ”There’s no need to be so polite. I promised Little Ye that I would find out the truth. Everything is still shrouded in mystery now. How can I give up halfway?

”I’ll send you and Little Ye out first. How about we have dinner tonight? Old Master Xia and Old Madam Xia wish to invite Little Ye home. They always think about her.”

What else could Mr. Fu say? He naturally smiled and agreed.

After walking out of the heavily guarded building of the National Defense, Commander Xia left first under Ye Jian’s escort. He was busy with work too. Just like Minister Xia, he took time out.

Ye Jian watched as Commander Xia’s car disappeared from her sight before returning to the car with Mr. Fu.

After getting into the car, Mr. Fu, whose expression was slightly restrained, said in a serious tone, ”The National Defense is investigating. The real culprit will be found one day. However, I don’t understand why Minister Xia mentioned that you’ll face danger in the future. Is there anything else that’s inconvenient to reveal?”

Mr. Fu couldn’t guess it, but Ye Jian understood a little. Minister Xia purposely showed her the photo with the same silver wire. In the end, he took it back promptly. The meaning was obvious.

He was telling her that she had already met someone from the two organizations.

Afraid that Mr. Fu would be worried, Ye Jian smiled and said, ”Don’t think too much. Minister Xia must’ve seen that I’m chasing after the perpetrators and is worried that I would take the initiative and get into trouble. That’s why he reminded me. There’s no hidden secret.”

There was a secret, but it was inconvenient to say it out loud. Ye Jian lowered her eyes slightly and lowered the corner of her lips.

Mr. Fu felt a little uneasy. Even his expression turned cold. After a while, he said, ”No, what he said made me very worried. I need to ask him clearly.”
