On the other side, Jiang Jingya was calculating the time, anticipating that the items would soon reach Yunyi’s hands. She quickly made a call to her son. "Hello, son, I sent some things to your significant other in your name a few days ago. When you have time, could you check with her to see if she received them and whether she likes them? If she does, Mom will send more later."
Huo Jingrui slightly frowned. "Mom, please don’t meddle in my relationship with Yunyi."
Jiang Jingya was displeased. "With you being busy all the time, if I don’t give you a hand, when will you be able to bring my daughter-in-law home?"
Just as Huo Jingrui was about to say something, someone knocked on the door of his office. "Deputy Regimental Commander, the Division Commander is looking for you."
Huo Jingrui nodded to the person to indicate he understood and then said into the phone, "Mom, I’ve got something to deal with here, I have to go."
Jiang Jingya quickly spoke into the phone. "Don’t forget to call that girl."
Right as he hung up the receiver, Huo Jingrui still responded, "Got it."
But no sooner had he hung up the phone than someone walked in. "Deputy Regimental Commander Huo, someone called the regiment looking for you a few days ago when you were on a mission," while handing over a piece of paper, "This is her message."
Huo Jingrui took the paper and glanced at it. Great, now even if I want to contact that girl, it’s likely I won’t be able to reach her anytime soon.
Pocketing the note, he strode toward the Division Commander’s office. "Reporting in."
A voice from inside responded, "Come in."
Huo Jingrui entered. "Division Commander, you wanted to see me."
Du Tianming pointed to the wooden sofa in front. "Sit."
He also walked over and sat across from him. "There’s been no new progress with the situation in Ji Province, just as we had speculated. Those unaccounted for are probably already in hiding."
Huo Jingrui spoke seriously. "What does that mean, Division Commander?"
Due to rank protocol, Huo Jingrui couldn’t enter the meeting room. He planned to take this opportunity to step out and see if he could find something suitable for Yunyi, intending to personally prepare some items to take to her.
But just as he left, a female comrade walked out of the opposite building. She circled the spot where Huo Jingrui had been sitting but didn’t find anyone. Then, she hurried out and asked the guard on duty, "Where did the people in this room go?"
The soldier replied, "Are you asking about Deputy Regimental Commander Huo?"
The girl nodded. "Yes, where is he?"
The soldier kept his eyes forward as he answered, "He just left."
Upon hearing that he was gone, the girl stomped her foot in frustration. "What does that mean?"
Seeing her like this, the soldier was somewhat bewildered. Why is Officer Guan’s niece here today? What’s going on?
