Particularly when Tong Tong saw the rank on the soldier's shoulders, she was a bit surprised. A colonel, and capable of driving such a Humvee—definitely a serving colonel, not a civilian one without real power. A serving colonel acting as a driver? Dr. Xiao must have quite the influence.
Of course, if Tong Tong had a deeper understanding of the Huaxia military system, she would be even more astonished. Even the commander of the Yanjing Military Region wouldn't waste talent like this. Only a few big shots in the Military Commission and some retired elders have such privileges.
