Chapter 1492 The Last Night
"No..." Du Jun wanted to explain further, but Zhao Wu had already run straight to the head chef in a nosy manner. Xia Zhe lowered his head and smiled. Zhao Wu was very good at doing such things which left people speechless.
"Don't mind him. He's a really warm-hearted person. Many soldiers receive help from Zhao Wu when their families back home run into trouble. He's just doing this because he wants you to eat well here. Don't take it to heart. If there's anything you need, you can tell him. He will definitely help you solve all your problems," Xia Zhe said with a stoic expression.
If Xia Zhe said that Zhao Wu was doing this out of kindness, then what else could Du Jun say? He could only grit his teeth and bear with it. Other than Du Jun, the rest of the soldiers who came with him were given the exact same food as Xia Zhe's subordinates. They only had a personal grudge against Du Jun and would not take it out on the other soldiers.
He Mei had behaved herself over the past few days. Xia Zhe had also asked around and found out a lot of information. He Mei did not just arrive recently but had been stationed here for a long time. Her time here was even longer than his mission period. Could it be that she had really relied on her own abilities to escape from that mountainous location where she was sent to?
Yao Nian had previously written to Xia Zhe to highlight that He Mei had already left the mountain area. However, at that time, he was only focused on Qiao Mei giving birth to the babies. By now, he already could not remember what Yao Nian had written in the letter.
Xia Zhe still had his doubts about He Mei and would not let his guard down. He instructed Xiao Jian to keep an eye on the tent and that no one was allowed to enter or leave his tent without his permission.
Just as Qiao Mei had told him before, if any woman's undergarments were found in his tent or if a naked woman suddenly appeared from nowhere, he would never be able to explain himself out of it.
Xia Zhe frowned slightly. He did not expect Du Jun to be a person who would say such things. It looked like this was not the first time Du Jun had done such a thing. He wondered how many women Du Jun had already harmed previously.
"That's my friend's younger sister," Xia Zhe said.
Du Jun said in shock, "Oh! Is that so! Then forget it. I never expected her to be Commander Xia's old acquaintance. She's so beautiful though."
It was not that Xia Zhe wanted to protect He Mei, but there was no need for him to use such a method to take revenge on a woman. He would only do things that were aboveboard.
After three rounds of drinking, many people got drunk. Xia Zhe continued to sit there expressionlessly. Zhao Wu got drunk and went back to his tent.
Du Jun had prepared a lot of liquor. He had already asked around about Xia Zhe's capacity for alcohol and knew that he would not be able to beat Xia Zhe. Fortunately, he had brought a special weapon with him!
"Commander Xia, since you're heading back soon, we must have a good drinking session together. After all, I don't know when we'll meet again!" Du Jun said.
"If you want to see me, you can come to the capital to look for me anytime," Xia Zhe said.
