.

Du Jianwu was uneasy and paced back and forth under the shade of the barracks and yards with a haggard face. An hour and a half passed, and the heavy night was about to fall, but Kang Ning was still missing. Except for the two sentries standing guard at the gate of the yard, no one came to say a word to him.

This situation made the knowledgeable Du Jianwu admire the strict military discipline of the officers and soldiers of the Corning division, and also felt inexplicably worried about whether Corning, whose value has increased, still remembered his former friendship.

Just as Du Jianwu wanted to turn around and enter the reception room to drink water, three V6 cheetah off-road vehicles slowly drove into the yard. The border company commander Xu Chi and instructor Zhang Yihe in the first floor company office ran out quickly, and both came to the front of the middle vehicle and stood attentively and saluted three meters away.

Kang Ning and others got out of the car, raised their hands and returned the greeting, and turned to the thin man who was walking to the door of the reception room and looking back.

Fu Yuming ran over and stood attentively in front of Du Jianwu and saluted: "Hello old company commander! Your second platoon commander Fu Yuming paid tribute to you!"

Du Jianwu was stunned for a moment, then walked forward excitedly and hugged Fu Yuming tightly: "It's really surprising... Xiao Fu, I didn't expect you to be here. When I was drinking with Brother Gao, I often think of you..."

"Brother Du... Thank you all the way!" Kang Ning walked to Du Jianwu and said hello in a low voice with a smile.

"Xiao Ning!"

Du Jianwu let go of Fu Yuming and saw the smiling Kang Ning spread his arms to meet him. He couldn't help but be moved. When he met him, he was a bear hug: "You guy is promising... I'm saying. There is nothing rare in this world that will ruin you!"

"Hey, why are you so thin?"

Kang Ning let go of Du Jianwu and saw his originally resolute face turning into a knife-cut look: "The face is full of beard, covered in smelly sweat... and the smell of wine! Brother Du, when did you become this hangover? What happened to your family?"

Du Jianwu saw Kang Ning's concerned gaze. His heart warmed up and his nose began to feel slightly sour. He shook his head as if he was self-deprecating and said with a wry smile:

"It's better to be thinner and look more energetic, haha! I thought you wouldn't recognize me if you become a warlord! Fortunately, except for getting older, nothing else has changed... Xiao Fu, what official do you become here? ***. He actually shook, and there is such a beautiful modification of a special car, which is not easy."

"Old company commander, if you really like it, how about I'll give you one? Haha!" Fu Yuming replied with a smile.

After Kang Ning introduced Zhang Min to Du Jianwu, he turned to the stunned border company commander Xu Chi and instructor Zhang Yihe and smiled and said, "This is really my elder brother, he did not lie to you. Please take his luggage to my car. We are about to rush back to Wangang."

"Report to the chief. He did not bring his luggage... nor did he carry weapons. Are we preparing for something?" Xu Chi replied loudly.

When Kang Ning heard this, he knew that Du Jianwu had been searched according to the regulations. He nodded to Xu Chi and the others in praise: "You are doing a good job! Let's leave now, don't bother you anymore, thank you!"

"This is our responsibility. The leader doesn't need to thank you!" Zhang Yihe answered excitedly.

The convoy slowly drove out of the camp compound, Du Jianwu, Kang Ning and Fu Yuming took the same car, while Zhang Min moved to A Biao's driving car.

Du Jianwu smiled at Kang Ning beside him and said, "Your two soldiers are really powerful. After searching all parts of my body, I also asked to take off my belt for inspection. ***! You even praised them. It seems that they will continue to work hard in the future and must force someone to take off their pants for inspection."

Kang Ning and Fu Yuming looked at each other and laughed. After a while, Fu Yuming explained to Du Jianwu in detail: "This is our rule. Anyone who asks a stranger to see officials at the county level or above must undergo strict and careful inspection. This time, the old company commander, you are going to see our boss, General Kang. The two soldiers are already polite to you. Don't blame them. This is a military system and no one dares to violate it."

Du Jianwu nodded in understanding: "It can be seen that the quality of your border guards is very good. The clothes on your body are simple, practical, beautiful and generous. The military rank and logo are simple and unpretentious at a glance. They are much better than the border guards on the border. Xiao Fu, what kind of official do you do in Xiao Ning?"

"Hehe, thanks to General Kang and President Chen, who respect me, I asked me to be the director of the Political Department of the Military Commission of the Special Administrative Region. Don't underestimate me, the director, who is equivalent to a department-level cadre in the mainland, has special cars, guards and foreign buildings, haha!" Fu Yuming cleverly fooled him.

"Okay!***, both of them are promising!" Du Jianwu laughed jokingly and said, "Xiao Ning, I heard that Zheng Yi and Mengmeng came with me? Are they okay?"

Kang Ning's old face turned red and he replied with a thick smile: "Now they are cooking for us at home. You can see my son and Zheng Yidi later. Haha... Yuming, call Zhang Min, have two drinks together."

"Okay!"

Fu Yuming used the car radio to notify Zhang Min in the car ahead. Zhang Min readily agreed without any hesitation.

An hour later, the convoy entered Wangang City, passed through the barracks and came to Corning's Building 4 to stop.

When Zheng Yi and Mengmeng heard the news, they immediately took the child out to greet him. Du Jianwu said hello to Zheng Yi and Mengmeng with emotion, and walked into the door surrounded by everyone. When he came to the living room, he opened his hands and was about to hug Kang Ning's baby son, but who knew that Xiaokang's words "Uncle is so smelly" made everyone laugh.

For a moment, Du Jianwu felt extremely embarrassed. Kang Ning shaved his son's nose and whispered to him, and then led Du Jianwu, who wanted to take a bath before drinking the welcome wine, into the bathroom.

Du Jianwu looked at the bathroom and found that it was very spacious, with a shower and a bathtub. He immediately took a set of military summer clothes handed over by Zheng Yi and hurriedly closed the bathroom door.

After washing up, Du Jianwu walked out of the bathroom and came to the living room. He saw everyone sitting around the dining table waiting for him. He was embarrassed to snatch the back of his head.

Kang Ning and Fu Yuming enthusiastically asked Du Jianwu to sit down. When they saw Du Jianwu shaved his beard and fresh, he showed his original firm and mature nature against the backdrop of the military uniform, they all exclaimed loudly.

The cheerful and lively Mengmeng smiled and said, "Brother Du is a little thinner and thinner, but she is still as cool as before. When she entered the door just now, she was shocked by Sister Yi and I. She thought there was something wrong with you."

Du Jianwu shook his head and replied embarrassedly: "I took the train from Chengdu to Kunming, caught the bus to Jinghongdi and took it directly. When Jinghong felt that it was time to go, he boarded the bus to Damenglong. On the hot days, I didn't take a shower for two days and two nights, and my beard grew fast, so I became that sloppy. As soon as I met Xiao Ning at the border, I was damaged by him. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered your door, my son was damaged by him."

Everyone burst into laughter. Corning poured Du Jianwu a cup of Wuliangye. Fu Yuming opened a bottle and also gave Zhang Minman. Mengmeng, Zheng Yi and Situ Yan poured wine as a companion.

Seeing the four older men drinking three drinks in a row within fifteen seconds, the three women looked at each other and could only sigh.

This was the first time Situ Yan saw Kang Ning, who had always been so gentle, drink so much that he couldn't help but grow up. If Mengmeng hadn't explained to her in a low voice, Situ Yan wouldn't have known that Kang Ning and Du Jianwu had such a deep relationship, so he listened to the conversation between the four men with great interest.

Everyone ate and drank. From the days of being a soldier to their separate ways, from the tears incident to Gao Qinghua's recent situation. Only then did Zhang Min and Situ Yan realize that Kang Ning had such a good brother and such a wonderful past.

Although Situ Yan can hide his emotions well and his fair and beautiful face contains a faint smile, his crystal and charming eyes still shine under the bright lights.

Kang Ning gave everyone a cup again. After putting down the cup, he smiled at Du Jianwu and said, "Brother Du, you won't tell us that you are here for a trip this time, right?"

Du Jianwu drank it all, put down his cup and replied seriously: "I can't make a living in Sichuan anymore, so I'll come to find you to have a meal. You know my identity, if you can't trust me, even if you let me do odd jobs."

After hearing this, Kang Ning and Fu Yuming and Zhang Min were all stunned. None of them expected that Du Jianwu would take the initiative to ask to stay. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

When Kang Ning saw Fu Yuming and Zhang Min’s gaze, he smiled slightly: “Brother Du, the place where we are now is the territory of the army. Many of my abilities are taught to me step by step by step by step by step, so strictly speaking, our current identities are all considered soldiers. I remember that my ancestors said that there is no joke in the army. Can you be sure that your words just now came from your original intention?”

Du Jianwu glanced at Kang Ning and asked in a frustration: "What? Do you want to take me in?"

"Haha! Of course I'm not going to ask for anything!"

Kang Ning had already seen the complex feelings in Du Jianwu's eyes, and laughed, and continued, "Brother Du, to be honest, we urgently need you so many talents. You have been in the army for nearly ten years and brought out the ground soldiers. Many of them have served as intermediate commanders in our army. Later, you worked in the local law enforcement department for seven or eight years. You have been in the local law enforcement department and have worked hard and worthy of your organization and the local people. You are diligent in every position and impeccable! Such rich experience and experience are exactly what we lack. As long as Brother Du, you nod, you can choose the deputy positions of our military bureaus and the police stations affiliated to the Military Commission of the Special Administrative Region. This is the greatest power I can use at present. Appointment that exceeds the deputy position or above must be collectively discussed and decided by the Military Commission. I hope Brother Du will not think that this official position is too small."

As soon as this statement was made, Fu Yuming and Zhang Min were very surprised. You should know that there are several key departments that have not yet established deputy positions. As the stalls become larger and larger, all the deputy positions are loyal and trustworthy people with real power. Kang Ning generously gave Du Jianwu such a high position without hesitation, which was beyond the expectations of the two.

Du Jianwu opened his mouth wide and stared at Kang Ning in disbelief. When he saw Kang Ning's sincere smile and expectant gaze, his nose became sore and his eyes became moist.

He shook his head vigorously, grabbed the bottle and poured a glass for Corning, and then filled it with himself. He raised the glass and whispered: "Xiao Ning, brother, please give you a cup!"

After seeing Du Jianwu finish his work, Zheng Yi and others lowered their heads and just focused on eating vegetables. They knew that several men had something to say, so they politely said goodbye to everyone and led the child upstairs. The clever Mengmeng and Situ Yan also left with each other, and there were only four big men left in the hall drinking without saying a word.

After a while, Du Jianwu raised his head and put down his chopsticks: "Xiao Ning, Xiao Fu and Xiao Zhang, thank you very much for your acceptance! To be honest, I came here with a task this time, and I will follow the promise I made when I left Sichuan and try to do what the above explained. If you drive me away now, I can't do anything. I believe that the superiors will not blame me for you drive me away."

Du Jianwu saw Kang Ning and the other two without saying a word, listened with a smile, let out a heavy sigh, and continued to whisper:

"Whether you believe it or not, I have to make it clear. Last month, my third consecutive resignation report was refuted. Later, when my superiors saw that I had made up my mind, they told me that I would be allowed to withdraw after completing one task. I agreed without hesitation! My only task is to establish a friendly preliminary cooperative relationship with your Fourth Special Zone, and there is no other one. If you can trust me, let me be a liaison officer for the time being. I don't want to do anything else. After establishing a normal contact mechanism, I will complete the task. In the future, I will go back to accompany my father and mother, and the whole family will go back to the countryside to live a quiet life. I have been over for so many years and I am really exhausted..."

Fu Yuming and Zhang Min looked at each other, not knowing what was going on with Du Jianwu, which made him so depressed. However, Kang Ning could clearly feel the pain and sorrow in Du Jianwu's heart. He picked up the wine glass, poured Du Jianwu a full glass, picked up the cup and said emotionally:

"Brother Du, you will always be my good brother. I respect your choice. In this way, you should serve as the director of the External Liaison Office of the Military Commission we are preparing for!"

Du Jianwu was stunned, then silently picked up the wine glass, poured two or one cup of Wuliangye into his throat with tears in his eyes. After putting down the cup, his body tilted and fell to the floor with a "rattle".

When everyone leaned over to help him, they found that the weak Du Jianwu was already unconscious...
Chapter completed!
