This matter was handled extremely quickly. At noon the next day, a group of people came to Qiao Mei’s farm. They wore suits and leather shoes, but Qiao

Mei recognized the cufflinks on their sleeves. Xia Zhe also had a pair at home. The pattern on them was unique to Xia Zhe’s troops and only his team had them.

“Hello, we’re here to talk about a collaboration. Which one of you is the owner of this farm?” one of the men said.

“I’m Qiao Mei, the owner of this farm. What kind of collaboration do you have in mind?” Qiao Mei asked.

The man raised his hand to his chest and tapped his heart three times before saying, “l want to buy milk from you. If the milk is of good quality, I’m willing to work with you on a long term basis. We have come with a lot of sincerity to work together.”

On the phone earlier, Xia Wen had already told Qiao Mei that this gesture was the secret signal between her and the team coming to help her. Qiao Mei immediately understood who these people were and quickly brought them to the cattle pen where Su Rui was being held. At this moment, Su Rui was conscious.

Su Rui knew the man leading the team. His name was Cong Feng and he was the superior who had assigned Su Rui to the mission. Unless absolutely necessary, the soldiers on the mission could not take the initiative to contact their superior. She did not know what kind of backing Qiao Mei had to be able to find her superior.

The woman looked at Su Rui disdainfully. Su Rui widened her eyes and glared at the woman as she roared, “Why is it her! Why is she the one to replace me!”

“Why can’t it be me?” The woman’s name was Jiang Ting and she was Su Rui’s former comrade-in-arm.

Although the two of them were comrades-in-arms, they had been at loggerheads since they were young. The two of them were neighbors and they came from completely different family situations. Jiang Ting had three elder brothers and she was the youngest daughter in the family. She was doted on by all her family members and she lived a completely different life from Su Rui, who had suffered a lot of humiliation since she was young.

However, Jiang Ting had always been in Su Rui’s life since they were young. They went to the same school and went home from school together. Even after they joined the army, they were posted to the same unit. Su Rui felt that Jiang Ting was like her shadow. In Su Rui’s own words, Jiang Ting was like a ghost haunting her.

“No! Anyone can replace me, but not her!” Su Rui said fiercely.

“It’s useless no matter what you say. Just follow orders. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you this. You probably will be locked up for life when you go back. Take a few more looks at the sun while you can,” Jiang Ting said gloatingly.

Su Rui lowered her head dejectedly. She had done too many wrong things in her life, the worst being coming to threaten Qiao Mei this time round. This was the last straw for the organization. When she returned to the country, she would definitely be court-martialed. Given that Qiao Mei had the clout to contact her superiors, it meant that Fang Chen must have come from a prominent family.

In that case, with all the nasty things that she had done, Fang Chen’s family members would never allow her to continue to serve in the army..
