Liao Fang was stunned for a moment, his eyes changed, and he tried to break free from Jiang Shiyun's grip.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Shiyun stopped when he saw his intense reaction, frowning: "Why, do you still want to be a deserter?"

Liao Fang: “…”

What the hell is a deserter?

"I need to go back and get some things. You go to the assembly area first." Liao Fang took the opportunity to break free from him and ran towards the dormitory.

Jiang Shiyun looked at his back, then glanced at the gathering place where the crowd gathered, and ran towards it.

When Liao Fang returned to the assembly ground from the dormitory, he was late as expected and was criticized in public by the instructor as a negative example.

"In our army, no one is an exception. You are not an exception, and neither is Xie Yuci. This is the first time, and the last time. If there is a next time, you and Xie Yuci will get out of here!"

The instructor's eyes revealed a fierce murderous intent.

Jiang Shiyun was worried about Liao Fang in the crowd, but he didn't expect Liao Fang in the front row to be unusually calm. He just replied with two words: "Understood!"

Everyone: "..."

"What do you understand..." The murderous look in the instructor's eyes became even stronger.

But before he could continue criticizing, Xu Zhong in front was already walking towards them.

"Where are Xie Yuci?" He glanced at the crowd and his expression gradually became serious.

For some reason, every time he met Xie Yuci, he would feel pressured, and this time he also had a bad feeling.

The instructor had just had the air of a Bao Gong, full of aura. But upon seeing Xu Zhong, his aura subsided, and he complained, sweat dripping down his face: "Report! Xie Yuci isn't here! Liao Fang is late! Please punish me, Commander!"

The troops punish the leader first, then the subordinates, and sometimes even collectively.

The instructor was ready to be criticized.

"If she hasn't arrived, then she hasn't arrived. Call her immediately and ask her to come over quickly." Xu Zhong said seriously.

Lian Guan: “…”

Everyone: "..."

Who just said that Xie Yuci was not an exception?

They didn't arrive and the leader didn't say anything.

The instructor was sweating even more profusely, and said without moving his brows: "Got it!"

He turned around and asked Liao Fang to call Xie Yuci.

Liao Fang stood up and said, "Report, Xie Yuci and her mother went back to see her grandfather, and her phone is turned off!"

After saying that, he took out his cell phone in public and called Xie Yuci, turning on the speakerphone so that everyone could hear the announcement that the phone was turned off.

Instructor: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Not only did she not show up, she also turned off her phone.

He is truly no ordinary warrior.

"How long has it been turned off?" Xu Zhong quickly noticed something was wrong and gestured towards Liao Fang.

Liao Fang: "I don't know. My phone was turned off when I called yesterday."

Jiang Shiyun: "..."

He widened his eyes and looked at Liao Fang in disbelief.

Why didn't he tell me about this?

Liao Fang seemed to be unable to see his questioning gaze, and looked ahead with a firm gaze.

Xu Zhong stared at Liao Fang for a few seconds and asked someone to check the Xu family's phone number.

The soldier in the team checked quickly and gave the phone number to Xu Zhong.

Xu Zhong took the phone from him and waited for the other party to answer.

An old housekeeper answered the phone.

Xu Zhong: "I'm looking for Xie Yuci. Ask her to come over and answer the phone."

The old housekeeper said, "It's like this. Miss Yuci just came back and is currently busy. I'll have her call you back when she's free. What's your name?"

Xu Zhong: “…”

Everyone: "..."

Jiang Shiyun, who had been eavesdropping, suddenly jumped up and wanted to say something, but was held down by the instructor next to him, who knocked on his head and told him to shut up.

As soon as Xu Zhong hung up the phone, he excitedly said, "Something must have happened to Xie Yuci. She turned off her phone last night and it's still off today. From what the Zhou family's housekeeper said, she's still at the Zhou family. How could she be so busy that she didn't even have time to charge her phone?"

"Don't make blind guesses. The Zhou family is her maternal grandfather. How could they let anything happen to her..." The instructor frowned and glared at him.

He had long seen that this kid had bad intentions and was always jumping around and causing trouble, which was a headache for him.

But thinking of another one made my head hurt even more.

"What grandpa? Don't you know that old man in the Zhou family is biased to the core? My aunt's mother, my great-aunt, died young. My aunt was removed from the family tree in her twenties and her household registration was moved away. For more than 20 years, the two families haven't recognized each other. This time, the Zhou family suddenly came to our house and asked my aunt and Yuci to go back. As soon as the two returned, we couldn't contact them. Do you think it could be that simple..."

"By the way, I have my aunt's contact information. I'll call her." Jiang Shiyun remembered something and took out his cell phone to call Xie Lian.

The result is also shutdown state.

"..."

The faces of those who had not taken it seriously at first were now filled with solemn expressions.

Unlike Jiang Shiyun's noisy behavior, Xu Zhong knew that the Zhou family would not dare to do anything that would endanger human lives under their noses, so he did not rush to do anything. He only spoke after seeing that everyone at the assembly point had arrived.

Everyone then realized that just now, a major explosion had occurred at their important research site in Shangjing. The entire Shangjing Fire Department had gone to the rescue, and the troops from all major divisions were on high alert, awaiting instructions.

If there is any uncontrollable situation, they will rush to the front line instead of the fire department.

"This incident occurred at a key research base, and was broadcast live on global news networks. We were ordered to extinguish the fire as quickly as possible, resolve potential hazards, and evacuate and rescue trapped personnel."

"We may receive an order at any time. Contact Xie Yuci immediately. If you can't reach her, send someone to the Zhou family..."

Before Xu Zhong could finish his words, his assistant quickly walked towards him and said, "Commander, *** is calling. You are ordered to answer it immediately!"

Everyone: "..."

When they heard the word ***, everyone's heart tightened. They immediately raised their heads and chests, looked straight ahead, and dared not move.

Xu Zhong took the phone from him and answered it carefully.

A minute later, he replied truthfully: "We can't contact Xie Yuci at the moment, but according to her assistant, she's most likely at her maternal grandfather Zhou's house."

"..."

"Yes, we will go to Zhou's house immediately, bring her out, and wait for instructions!"

"..."

Xu Zhong hung up the phone, received the order, and immediately asked everyone on the scene to get ready and go to Zhou's house to pick up Xie Yuci.

……

Zhou Zhenyu's birthday party this year was extremely grand. Almost all the important people in the business community in Shangjing were invited. Outside Shangjing, all the connections with him arrived by plane in advance and were arranged to stay at the hotel.

Zhou Zhenyu made these arrangements in order to let Xie Yuci come out to identify the person, and at the same time he also wanted to announce to the outside world that Xie Yuci was the Zhou family's cousin, and that their Zhou family had hope of prosperity for the fourth generation.

Let others have a consideration in mind when considering cooperation and competition with the Zhou family.
