Chapter 1413 Ulterior Motives 1
Seeing Lu Jiang still commanding respect without showing anger, Jiu Hong’s eyes widened suddenly, filled with shock.
"Comrade Colonel Lu?" he blurted out.
Simultaneously, he reflexively saluted Lu Jiang, with an extremely attentive attitude.
Lu Jiang, holding Dundun who was rubbing his eyes, returned the salute, "Comrade Jiu Hong."
He did not ask why Jiu Hong was there, but Jiu Hong was desperate; his departure from the army wasn’t honorable, yet he urgently wanted to return to his former position!
"Comrade Colonel Lu," Jiu Hong approached Lu Jiang rapidly as if riding on Wind Fire Wheels, urgently saying: "Did you come here specifically to find Comrade Li Shuitian? How did you know Comrade Li Shuitian lives here? Do you also know I live here? Oh, you’ve been transferred to the Viva Army, right here in Baozhou, that’s really close, how did I forget that!"
Although Lu Jiang didn’t know why Jiu Hong was expelled from the army, he could guess accurately and also understood the intent mixed in Jiu Hong’s multitude of questions, yet he pretended not to understand.
"I did not know you have settled in Baozhou, it was merely a chance encounter with Comrade Li Shuitian on the street."
As for Jiu Hong’s mention of forgetting, whether he truly forgot or not, Lu Jiang didn’t bother to delve deeper; Jiu Hong followed him out of the army, how could he not know about his transfer to Viva Army.
Perhaps, Jiu Hong settling in Baozhou wasn’t unplanned.
