Everyone left the meeting room and, upon reaching the outside of the administrative building, found a thirty-person team led by Lei Hao, Xing Zhou, and Lin Yizhong already prepared and ready to depart at any moment.
All the senior officers were escorted to the door and after saluting each other, the team boarded the helicopter with exceptional agility and swiftly took off. Huo Beijiang was the last to board the helicopter and, before leaving, he gave instructions to Ning Di and Yu Xiaoxiao, who were staying behind.
In his absence as the division commander, the daily operations of the 36th Division were overseen by the chief of staff and the deputy division commander. Leaving Ning Di and Yu Xiaoxiao behind was not only for the division's affairs but also for personal reasons.
Lu Jin, as Huo Beijiang's bodyguard, went with him, and the two remaining had even more matters to attend to. The mission was so sudden that he didn't even have time to grab a change of clothes.
