Chapter 1019: Late Night Surprise
Ever since he arrived, Jun Shiling’s schedule had basically been reversed. Finally, he ended a five-hour meeting.
“Officer, go and rest.” Lin Wei’s beautiful eyes were filled with worry. No matter how strong Jun Shiling’s body was, he could not withstand such high-intensity consumption.
And all of this was because of that little woman. She really could not understand why Jun Shiling, who was so capable, would delay the important matters because of love.
“No need. Go and rest. I’ll watch for a while more,” Jun Shiling said as he walked into the command room.
“Then I’ll accompany you.” Lin Wei followed Jun Shiling.
However, Jun Shiling had only taken a few steps when his phone rang. Xia Wanyuan had shared a real-time location with him.
This real-time location was two kilometers away from him.
Jun Shiling instantly stopped in his tracks and strode out the door.
Lin Wei did not know what had happened and hurriedly followed him out. However, Jun Shiling walked extremely quickly and got into the car in the blink of an eye. A stream of exhaust smoke floated past and the SUV had already driven far away.
“What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?” Lin Wei murmured and turned to return to the command center.
At the airport, Xia Wanyuan was surrounded by a group of people.
“Miss, please show your identification. Otherwise, we will transfer you to the relevant institution.” This place had always been closed to civilian planes, but tonight, this plane landed.
“This is my pass. The person who is coming to pick me up will be here soon,” Xia Wanyuan said as she took out the pass Xia Yu had given her.
“This pass belongs to the cheetah team. What’s your code name in the cheetah team?”
Just as the two sides were in a deadlock, a light suddenly came from the night sky. An off-road vehicle was driving towards them through the darkness.
When the people around saw the SUV’s license plate, they could not help but make way for it.
The SUV roared over and finally stopped in front of Xia Wanyuan.
Jun Shiling walked out of the car in a black coat with a cold aura.
Seeing Jun Shiling, everyone hurriedly put away their weapons and said respectfully, “Officer.”
Jun Shiling waved his hand behind him and stared straight at Xia Wanyuan. He strode forward and grabbed her hand. “Follow me.”
Xia Wanyuan smiled with two dimples, her eyes shining. “I’m hungry.”
“Hmph.” Jun Shiling reached out and pinched Xia Wanyuan’s face. “I’ll get you something to eat.”
Jun Shiling pushed open the door. Lin Wei was standing outside. Seeing him come out, Lin Wei wanted to say something but hesitated.
“Is something wrong?”
Lin Wei made up her mind. “Officer, isn’t it inappropriate for an unrelated woman to appear here?”
“What did I fail to do?”
“No, you did very well.” Lin Wei lowered her head.
It was not even an exaggeration to say that Jun Shiling was the most courageous and capable leader she had ever seen.
“Tell me this when I’m not doing my duties properly,” Jun Shiling said and walked straight to the canteen.
Behind him, Lin Wei had nothing to say, but she still felt that it was not appropriate for Jun Shiling to bring the woman here. She looked at the lounge and frowned.
Not long after, Jun Shiling returned with a set of food.
Pushing open the door, Xia Wanyuan was packing the clothes in the luggage. Seeing Xia Wanyuan put the clothes into his cabinet one by one, Jun Shiling’s gaze darkened.
“Come and eat.”
Oh, okay.” Xia Wanyuan put down her work and sat beside Jun Shiling, letting him feed her spoonful by spoonful.
In all fairness, the quality of the food here was very average. At most, it was filling. However, Xia Wanyuan had already finished eating.
“I’m so tired.” Xia Wanyuan yawned. “I’ll sleep for a while.”
“Don’t sleep here. Go to the back of the base. There’s a reception room there.” Jun Shiling reached out to stop Xia Wanyuan.
There was no bed in the lounge originally. It was only used for a short rest. However, this place was close to the command room, so Jun Shiling rested here day and night.
Other than a relatively hard bed, there was nothing else in the lounge. The conditions were too harsh. Jun Shiling could live here himself, but he did not want Xia Wanyuan to live here.
Xia Wanyuan tilted her head. “What about you? Where are you?”
“I’m here. It’s close here. The sooner I’m done, the sooner I can accompany you back.”
“Then I’ll be here too. Do your work. I want to sleep.” Although her life had become more pampered after coming to the modern world, it was not as if Xia Wanyuan had never lived in a more difficult place. As she spoke, she took off her shoes and lay under the blanket.
Although the bed was very hard and the blanket was not soft, the pine fragrance around Jun Shiling made Xia Wanyuan feel very at ease. This was much more important than a comfortable living environment.
