Chapter 1676 - 1677: If He’s from the Military, I Have to Take Charge
"What do you know now?"
"I know where Lin Sheng has gone! Let’s go bring him back now! But, can you promise not to discharge him after I bring him back, Brother Qin?" Mu Mian asked.
"We can discuss that later. Finding him is what’s important right now, especially if he commits some dangerous act while absent without leave. It might be too late for regrets then." Qin Jian said.
"Alright then. I will definitely bring him back." After saying this, Mu Mian turned and ran outside.
When Qin Jian returned home, the family banquet had already ended.
"So, did you help that girl Mu Mian find Lin Sheng?" Zhang Yun brewed a cup of tea and brought it over to her son.
"No." Qin Jian pinched the bridge of his nose.
An Hao had just put the two children to sleep and came down the stairs to witness this scene.
"What’s the matter? You seem to be in quite a headache?"
"Indeed, I have a severe headache." Qin Jian picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Today, Lin Sheng assaulted a sentinel and escaped."
"What? Lin Sheng’s behavior is too bold." An Hao exclaimed in shock, "Does he not realize the consequences of his actions?"
"I suspect Lin Sheng’s escape has something to do with Mu Mian"
."
"Why?"
"Recently, Lin Sheng has been acting very strangely. And coincidentally, he ran into Mu Mian today, whose own situation is quite peculiar. So that’s what I think."
"Now that you mention it, I think I understand something too. Today, those people connected to Mu Mian kept talking about her father." An Hao frowned, puzzled, "What exactly does her father do? He seems like he’s involved in the underworld."
"You’ve hit the nail on the head." Qin Jian felt there was something off about Mu Qiankun; this man has always been very resistant to military personnel.
But most of the common people are very welcoming towards military personnel.
So why is there resistance to them?
Could it be that those who resist have some unspeakable secrets?
Qin Jian fell into deep thought.
"What about Mu Mian then?" An Hao was still worried about her.
"She said she’s going to look for Lin Sheng."
"And you just let her go? Do you realize how concerning the situation is today? Although they don’t look like good people at first glance, they still deliberately put on the appearance of good people." The more An Hao thought about it, the more she felt something was off with that group of people.
"On the contrary." Qin Jian felt letting Mu Mian go was the right decision, "I think Mu Mian is very clear about the situation. When I was recovering from my wounds in Dongshan Village, her father acted very strangely. Mu Mian was constantly in conflict with her father."
"What were they in conflict over?" An Hao was completely captivated by Qin Jian’s words, and her mind began to analyze the situation.
"Their conversation was very cryptic. But from the shadows, one could guess that her father has done something that goes against his conscience."
However, at the time, Qin Jian didn’t pay much attention to this.
He thought it might be trivial village affairs, and given the circumstances at the time, Mu Mian didn’t want them to know these things and he didn’t have the energy to manage them either.
"So you mean to say that Mu Mian has likely gone back to Dongshan Village to find her father?"
"Yes." Qin Jian nodded, "She must be very clear about their affairs, and Lin Sheng should know as well."
"So what are you going to do about their situation?"
"I could have ignored it before. But now that Lin Sheng is a member of the military, I have to get involved."
Lin Sheng’s actions must be bound by military discipline!
