Chapter 1237 - 1256: Leaving
Everyone left the meeting room and, upon reaching the outside of the administrative building, found a thirty-person team led by Lei Hao, Xing Zhou, and Lin Yizhong already prepared and ready to depart at any moment.
All the senior officers were escorted to the door and after saluting each other, the team boarded the helicopter with exceptional agility and swiftly took off. Huo Beijiang was the last to board the helicopter and, before leaving, he gave instructions to Ning Di and Yu Xiaoxiao, who were staying behind.
In his absence as the division commander, the daily operations of the 36th Division were overseen by the chief of staff and the deputy division commander. Leaving Ning Di and Yu Xiaoxiao behind was not only for the division’s affairs but also for personal reasons.
Lu Jin, as Huo Beijiang’s bodyguard, went with him, and the two remaining had even more matters to attend to. The mission was so sudden that he didn’t even have time to grab a change of clothes.
All his preparations had been made ready by the Southeast Military Region.
Departing from here, the plane would land on the fleet docked at Tianjin Port Dock and immediately set sail for Kannaya.

Nan Fei didn’t sleep much that afternoon, waking up in a daze, and then busied herself cleaning with Jiang Yang. The house had been unoccupied for two months and was both dirty and messy. They kept at it until dark, and the results were incredibly satisfying.
The windows shone and the place was clean and tidy.
"Goodness! I’m exhausted." After wiping down the last piece of furniture, Nan Fei, feeling sore all over, collapsed onto the sofa, too tired to even lift a finger. "When I was young, I lived in a small, old bungalow and I dreamed of living in a high-rise apartment. Now that I’m in a villa, I realize cleaning can be deadly!"
Jiang was also tired, his little face flushed, as he leaned on the opposite sofa and gave a silly smile, "Sister Nan Fei, let me give you a massage." He bounded over and began to knead her legs with even pressure.
And, surprisingly, it was quite comfortable.
