Luo Xudong learned something while talking on the phone with Wu Yuekai.
"Have you really decided?" Luo Xudong asked with a hint of surprise.
He knew that by now, Wu Yuekai was no longer willing to struggle in the whirlpool of fame and fortune; he hoped for a peaceful and tranquil old age.
"Yes, I've accepted the promotion from the Military Department." Wu Yuekai's voice came through the phone, "Your promotion order should be coming soon too. A company commander might be fine for someone your age, but for the girl, it's still too slow."
Luo Xudong listened quietly.
"The old man doesn't know how many more years he can hold on. You need to hurry up. You must already know the girl's identity. After all, she's been in the Ninth Department for so many years. Right now, she hasn't stood out, so there's not much danger. But she'll eventually shine one day. Over these years, the old man has been protecting her. Once you grow up, this task will be yours."
