Ye Jian was influenced by the two seniors. How could she leave the secret training that was going on? How could she violate the military rules?

If Ye Jian really chose to leave and go back to accompany Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen would be completely disappointed in her. The child he had taught for close to ten years actually abandoned the army and her responsibility to come back for him. Uncle Chen would be heartbroken if Ye Jian disappointed him.

Hence, when he previously told Ye Jian that there was a problem with Uncle Chen’s IV, he waited patiently for her decision.

Those few seconds of waiting were even more nerve-wracking than when he was on a dangerous mission. He had never been so nervous since he joined the army.

Li Jinnian had said that she would have 29 hours of free time to do as she pleased. At that moment, he almost collapsed. He gritted his teeth and endured it.

Azure Bird had never needed anyone to make a decision for her. She was smart and could make her own decisions.

Hearing that she chose to stay, he had the urge to cry.

She had made the correct decision as a soldier. He did not know what he was feeling anymore.

Seeing the sorrow in her eyes and hearing her tearful voice, he knew that she had made the right decision. However, he did not feel relieved at all. He only felt his heart ache for her and for the soldiers who had no choice but to do so for the sake of their country.

There was no such thing as a peaceful time. It was just that someone was carrying the weight for you. You could not see the darkness because someone was shielding you from the darkness. Ye Jian was the spitting image of all the soldiers. She was making sacrifices to fulfill the dreams of others.

The desert was too quiet, so quiet that time seemed to have stopped.

After a long time, Ye Jian saluted the major who had always supported and encouraged her. She had experienced pain and knew how to hide it. She said softly, “Thank you, Major.”

“You’re welcome. It’s my duty.” Xia Jinyuan returned the military salute.

The two of them were only an arm’s length away from each other. They were wearing the same military uniform and had the same temperament as each other. They saluted each other. The moon shone down on the two of them, casting a shadow on the desert. They looked like two white poplar trees that guarded the borders.

“Uncle Chen was already out of danger yesterday. We entered the depths of the desert two days ago when the satellite signal was not too stable. Even if the command center of our two teams wanted to contact us, it wouldn’t be easy.

“Principal Chen’s situation is indeed very dangerous, but he was saved in time after being discovered. After being jointly treated by the experts of the People’s Hospital of Southern Province and the 301 General Military Hospital. After 72 hours of danger, he was finally transferred out of the intensive care unit.

“Because of Principal Chen’s special identity, the military hid the fact that he was safe from danger for the sake of caution. Only Commander Liu, Commissar Yan, Commander Xia, and the major general of the army know about the situation. You and I are the only ones in the army who know. Although the demon king and the rest know a little, they don’t know about Uncle Chen’s identity.”

The two of them walked back to the campsite side by side from the sand dune. Xia Jinyuan told Ye Jian everything he knew. “The military has put pressure on the Southern Province police to investigate this matter as soon as possible. They’ll handle this matter. We can’t interfere.”

He just escaped from a life-threatening situation and was transferred to the intensive care unit because of the infusion. The military’s main concern was whether the infusion was an accident or a work mistake!
