"Where do you have money... My savings are also..."

"I have money! Uncle gave me two months, I will earn enough!" Luo Gang assured him, patting his chest.

In another hospital room.

An Hao slept heavily; she had been too tired these past few days. Everything that had transpired felt like a nightmare, but now that the nightmare had finally ended, her heart relaxed, and a wave of exhaustion swept over her, leading her into a seemingly endless sleep.

Upon hearing the news, Zhang Yun and Ning Yibin rushed over.

As they entered the hospital room, they saw their daughter-in-law asleep on the bed and their son lying beside her, also asleep. Their hands were tightly clasped, never once parting.

"Son..."

Qin Jian, hearing the call, opened his eyes and vigorously rubbed his cheeks with both hands: "Dad! Mom! You’ve both come."

"We came to check on An Hao! On the way, we came with Yan Ye. When we heard about this situation, we were scared half to death," said Zhang Yun, as she set down the thermal flask in her hand, unscrewed it, and poured out a bowl of chicken soup, handing it to Qin Jian.

"I won’t drink it. Save it for An Hao!"

"It’s enough for two, there’s some for you! After all the turmoil of the night, have some chicken soup to nourish yourself," Zhang Yun said tenderly.

"You must handle this matter properly! Keep the news under wraps; it cannot be leaked! Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing!" This was a matter concerning the reputation and face of the commanders of two military regions; it had to be dealt with delicately.

"Don’t worry, Dad!" Qin Jian had already considered this point.

"Come back, son! Your father and I have discussed it, and he isn’t being stubborn this time! You’ve seen the recent situation at home. You’re too far away from us, it really won’t do! Once you’re gone, An Hao follows you to the Northwest, and when the Ning Family, the An Family, and our Qin Family encounter trouble, no one is around to deal with it," said Zhang Yun, addressing the pressing issues that truly existed.

"I’ve already submitted the application! I estimate it will be approved in one or two months." Qin Jian, too, was eager to return here—after all, everyone he cared about was here.

And indeed, his father’s health was a concern, and in the future, An Hao would need to have children!

Although as a soldier, he couldn’t prioritize family, he was still willing to try if there was a way to have the best of both worlds.

"Good. When your transfer to this side is arranged, I will take care of it as quickly as possible. Then, you can take charge of your old subordinates and build me an ironclad force!" Ning Yibin said resolutely, which was one of the main reasons he wanted his son to return.

Two years ago, the disbandment had affected the mightiest division of the Northern Military Region. The elite force was spread thin among units with weaker combat capabilities.

This had pained him deeply for a long time.

The combat strength of the erstwhile elite division had evidently declined over the past two years, and some leaders within the troops were more focused on climbing the ranks than on training soldiers. How could such corruption be tolerated?

There needed to be an infusion of righteousness to dispel this unhealthy trend!

His son was his pride and perfectly suited for training and combat. He wanted him to harness his strength and create an Iron-blooded Corps!

"Enough! Every time you and your father get together, you talk about nothing but the army! You might as well just grow roots there," said Zhang Yun, distinctly dissatisfied. "Can’t you care a little about your daughter-in-law’s condition?"
