After a while, Commander Qian asked, "Does Zhang Tian, Ding Lei and the others know that you're going to the military academy?"
"They should know." Su Qing must have told them.
"Beijing is not like Shanghai; it's a place with deep waters. Walk down the street and throw a punch, you're likely to hit some noble's offspring – they're all untouchable. Avoid them if you can, and don't meddle in unnecessary affairs. You, lad, better stay put in the military academy for two years and not wander around. I still have a few comrades-in-arms in Beijing, if there's any trouble, feel free to seek their help. Always think about your wife; if something happened to you, wouldn't it just benefit others?" That was all the help he could offer.
Mo Junhua went to the regimental headquarters, while Lan Tian was waiting for him in the battalion commander's office.
