Chapter 1069: Chapter 1069: Death is the Best Release

Qin Jian greeted his parents, and I was about to help my wife carry the vegetables when I saw Zhang Yun scolding, "You little brat! Your wife knows to give me a hug, don’t you know how to?"

Qin Jian looked at Zhang Yun with surprise and reached out to touch her forehead, "Mom, you don’t have a fever today, do you?"

"You’re the one with the fever!" Zhang Yun chided with a smile.

"Indeed, you should hug her!" Ning Yibin joined the conversation, "I heard you were only a second faster than Luo Gang!"

"Yes." In the deep mountains, he was only a mere second faster than Luo Gang, and two consecutive bullets hit Luo Gang right between the eyes.

If he had been any slower, it would either have been both him and Luo Gang dying together, or he would have been the one lying in a pool of blood.

"When your mom found out, she cried all night! You should know, we only have you as our son." Thinking about it, Ning Yibin was also quite frightened after the fact.

"I know." Qin Jian stepped forward and hugged Zhang Yun, "It won’t happen again."

"Don’t tell An Hao, so he won’t worry after knowing." Zhang Yun patted her son’s shoulder, "Go on. Let your wife move the vegetables!"

Just then, An Hao came in, swiftly moving forward to catch the heavy box of vegetables, ready to put it in the kitchen.

Suddenly, Ning Yibin said, "Cheng Yu is dead."

An Hao’s movements froze, and after a long pause, he slowly said, "She’s finally free."

An Hao had always had strong aversion and disgust for Cheng Yu, to the point of not being able to hear her voice again. But he couldn’t bring himself to hate her.

Such a life had been miserable enough, death was the best liberation!

After resting for a few days at the military district compound, Qin Jian went to report to his troop.

The person who received him was his former regiment commander, Zhang Jianguo.

After his old troop was disbanded, from the Northern Military Region’s former infantry regiment where they had been, they switched to another regiment. Still, he took up the role of regiment commander.

Now that Qin Jian requested to return, the regiment he was being assigned to was the very infantry regiment headed by Zhang Jianguo.

In the commander’s office.

Upon seeing Qin Jian again, Zhang Jianguo’s joy was overflowing, "Qin Jian! I never thought you’d come full circle and return to our old base."

"Yeah! Could it be that you couldn’t bear to be without Commander Zhang?" Qin Jian said with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, "Now I should be calling you Division Commander Zhang!"

Zhang Jianguo burst into a hearty laugh, "Right! As soon as I left, this spot opened up! When the time comes, my son must not let me down. You must rise to this position."

"That depends on the leadership’s intention," Qin Jian said with a laugh, "I shall absolutely obey the orders from my superiors."

"Whoa! You’ve become much more outgoing! You used to be so silent that not a word could be extracted from you all day, and it was like pulling teeth getting you to speak."

"I’ve become much more open than before! It seems, Commander, that my wife was indeed the right choice," said the regiment commander with a chuckle.

"People always change!" Qin Jian found a noble sounding reason for himself.

"Yes, yes!" the regiment commander nodded in agreement, "Since you’ve come back this time, you should bring back your old spirit, put in good training, and build a team with excellent quality."

"Rest assured," Qin Jian promised him, "I will not fail the mission."

"Good!" Division Commander Zhang believed in Qin Jian, "You’re my most proud soldier, just like Jian Ying and Tian Niu! I truly look forward to a reunion with you all!"

"How could that be so easy?" To request a transfer back isn’t something that can be settled with just a word or two.
