Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around!

2711 Sudden Speed

At around 8 pm, the military received a message. There was a huge mudslide deep in the mountains at the border of Tibet and Sichuan. As it was deep in the mountains, there were no signs of humans and no civilians were affected. However the 15 special forces soldiers who went into the mountains for training had lost contact with the military. Their satellite location couldn’t track them and they couldn’t locate their current location.

Today was Sunday, and it was Grandpa Xia’s 86th birthday. Grandpa Xia’s three sons and one daughter rushed back to the Beihai old residence to congratulate him.

Many juniors came too. At the same time, six great-grandchildren ran around the huge courtyard happily with sweets in their hands.

Hou Zi, who was talking to the elders, looked outside from time to time and paid attention to his wife, Xia Yiwei.

There were too many children at home. His wife was pregnant, so he was worried that the children would bump into her accidentally If they did, that would be terrible.

Hou Zi retracted his gaze and realized that Commander Xia, who was sitting on his left, was taking out his phone from his pocket. He didn’t know what was said on the phone, but he could clearly see the change in Commander Xia’s expression. He was Little Six’s father. “Okay, I understand. I’ll come over immediately.”

His voice suddenly became tense as if it would break at any moment.

Hou Zi hurriedly restrained his thoughts and heard Commander Xia saying to him, “Lil Hou, bring the grandchildren and celebrate Old Master’s birthday with him. I have something urgent to attend to so I’ll leave first. When Old Master asks about me later, just tell him that I have something on and had to leave first.”

Old Master was invited by his granddaughter, Zhou Yijin, to open his presents. After leaving for a few minutes, Commander Xia received an emergency call from the military.

Hou Zi was the grandson-in-law of the Xia family now. The commander-in-chief didn’t treat him as an outsider. He reminded him in a low voice before getting up to leave.

On the commander-in-chief’s left was Old Master Xia’s eldest son, Xia Anguo. Xia Anguo had left with Old Master Xia. One seat away was his cousin. He was talking to Old Master Xia’s second son, Xia Jiaze, about a piece of land. The two of them were real estate developers, and the topics they talked about were business.

Commander-in-chief Xia was in a hurry, so he didn’t interrupt them. He left in a hurry.

“Huh? Why is my third brother in such a hurry?” Xia Jiaze heard the commotion and looked up. He only saw Commander Xia leaving hurriedly. He asked Hou Zi, “Little Hou, where did your uncle go?”

Hearing this, he said respectfully, “Uncle, Third Uncle received a call just now and told me that he has something on and has to leave first. He asked me to wait for Old Master to come back before explaining it to him.”

“It’s most likely about the military.” Xia Jiaze frowned slightly. His eyes were a little pale too. He smiled at Hou Zi and said, “Come, Lil Hou, come and have a chat with me. You’re developing well in the Southern Province. Do you have any thoughts about the coastal areas?”

Talking business was Hou Zi’s forte. Hearing that, he smiled happily and sat down.

Outside, Xia Yiwei was talking to Aunt Xia Sujun. Her sharp eyes saw Commander Xia walking out hurriedly. With a big belly, she hurriedly asked, “Uncle, where are you going? We’re going to cut Old Master’s birthday cake soon.”

The commander-in-chief, who was striding forward, waved his hand when he heard that. He didn’t stop and smiled. “There’s something urgent that needs to be dealt with. You and Lil Hou accompany Old Master properly.” After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and instructed the guard, “Contact the person in charge at the Tibetan River. I want to talk to him personally.”
