She wiped the sweat off her brow and saw a military jeep parked in the distance. A wave of respect rose within her. Jeeps had always struck her as stylish and commanding.
Beside the jeep stood two women in military uniforms. The crisp uniforms accentuated their sharp, competent demeanor, setting them apart from ordinary women.
But their stern faces seemed to bear an invisible message: "No strangers allowed."
As Tian Sangsang walked past them, they squinted at her, scrutinizing her like inspecting merchandise. It felt as though they were examining her from the inside out, which made her extremely uncomfortable.
"Where are you from?"
Meeting their gaze steadily but without arrogance or submission, Tian Sangsang smiled lightly and said, "I live upstairs. Military family member."
"Oh, then go ahead," one of the women replied in a commanding tone.
Tian Sangsang couldn't hide her curiosity. Where had these people come from? Could they be...?
