At the port, a group of captured spies were secretly escorted to a designated location.

After reporting on the mission, Song Wenyuan hesitated for a moment before deciding to speak to his superiors.

"Commander, the woman who was taken hostage is actually my wife. It's just that I haven't been back since we got married, and I've gotten quite tanned, so she didn't recognize me."

"No wonder! You've made outstanding contributions since joining the army, and your wife is a heroine too. If you weren't still on a mission, I would definitely hold a commendation ceremony for your wife," the regimental commander praised.

When Song Wenyuan mentioned An Ning, he wasn't referring to this matter. He continued, "I had wanted to apply for her to come with me to the army a few years ago, but the organization assigned me to a long-term mission during that time, so the application for her to come with me was never processed. She's living a good life back home. Maybe something happened to her family when she came to see me this time, so I'd like to ask the regimental commander to help look after her."

The regimental commander pondered for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, you haven't been back for several years, right? If nothing unexpected happens, you should be promoted to battalion commander after this mission."

Here's what we'll do: Didn't Wu Jun, the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the neighboring regiment, transfer to civilian work a while ago? I'll go back and try to arrange for her to stay temporarily in the house Wu Jun used to live in. When you return from your mission, the house will naturally be allocated to you.

As for the other matters, I'll have someone keep an eye on them. However, since your military dependent documents haven't been completed yet, some people might have objections, so we can't make it too obvious.

"Thank you, Commander."

"Okay." The regimental commander patted him on the shoulder. "Perform your mission well. Your family will be taken care of by the military."

On the other side, after Anning and Xiaonier disembarked, they were plunged into a state of complete darkness.

After several twists and turns, with the help of the local police, he finally got into the military vehicle that was going to the unit to make purchases, but he was still left at the gate when he entered the unit.

"I'm sorry, it's the rule. We can't take you in without an access pass, so we can only take you this far." The young soldier apologized to An Ning, feeling embarrassed.

An Ning didn't seem to feel anything was wrong.

This era is extremely dangerous. Even the ship she came on could be spies. If she could just follow the military vehicles that were being used for procurement and go straight in, she would suspect that she had accidentally entered the enemy's headquarters.

After thanking the young soldier, Anning went to the sentry post to register.

“My husband’s name is Song Wenyuan. A few years ago, when he wrote home, he was a deputy company commander. I don’t know if he is still one now. He has never told us which battalion or company he is.”

Hearing that she had come without informing her husband, the sentry was in a difficult position.

But considering that she was a military spouse, he thought for a moment and came up with a compromise: "We have several hundred company commanders and deputy company commanders in our division. If we don't know his specific situation, we really can't contact him right away. How about this, you go find a place to stay in a nearby town first, and when we find him, we'll have him come pick you up, okay?"

At that moment, another military jeep stopped at the entrance of the military base.

"What do you mean, 'can't I do' or 'can't I do'?" the person in the car asked.

Upon seeing the person who had spoken, the sentry immediately stood up straight and saluted: "Greetings, Commander!"

An Ning looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties with a lot of dark stubble on his chin.

"Who is this?"

The returning regimental commander looked at An Ning, who had just been talking to the soldiers.

"This comrade is the wife of a company commander in our division, but we don't know the specific details about that company commander. We can't contact him for the time being, so we thought we'd ask her to stay in a nearby town and we'll notify her once we find him."

"Oh? Really? Which company commander is it? Tell me, maybe I know him?" the regimental commander asked with interest.

"Song Wenyuan".

"Isn't this a coincidence? He just happens to be one of my soldiers. But he's away on a mission and won't be back for a while." The regimental commander thought for a moment and said to An Ning, "Here's what we'll do: give me your letter of introduction and marriage certificate, then wait here for me for a bit, and I'll see how to arrange things for you."

After obtaining Anning's pass, the military vehicle slowly drove into the military area, and the sentry found Anning a small stool for her to sit on while waiting.

About half an hour later, the regimental commander who had just gone in reappeared at the gate with a soldier and waved to An Ning.

"Hey, Xiao Shen, I'll call you that from now on. Here's your marriage certificate back, but we need to keep the letter of introduction for our records."

As he returned the marriage certificate to Anning, he introduced her to the soldiers around him.

"This is Yan Fei. He used to be a soldier under your man. I'll have him take you to your place of residence. You can stay there temporarily with your daughter."

Your husband doesn't have a pass until his military dependent registration is completed; he needs to register when entering and leaving the country.

Before you leave, you'd better tell Yan Fei and have him bring you in, otherwise the procedures will be very troublesome.

"Thank you very much, Commander! When Wen Yuan returns, I will have him personally visit you to express his gratitude," An Ning said.

"No need." The commander waved his hand. "Alright, you can go now. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first."

"Sister-in-law, come with me."

Yan Fei walked ahead of An Ning.

The family quarters were not far from the gate, and the two arrived in no time. Yan Fei introduced the area to An Ning as they walked.

"This area is all family quarters. If you walk straight ahead, you'll find the military service center. It has a pretty complete selection of items, and many things are free, but the prices aren't cheap. You can go there and browse around and buy some daily necessities later, sister-in-law."

That row of trees over there leads to the camp. You can't wander around there, or you'll be arrested as a spy.

The house the regimental commander found for you used to be occupied by a battalion commander, but he recently retired from the military, so it's now vacant..."

At this point, Yan Fei hesitated, unsure whether he should continue.

An Ning noticed his unusual behavior and took the initiative to ask, "Brother, I'm not very familiar with the situation here. Just tell me if you have any questions."

Yan Fei, after hearing An Ning's explanation, stopped dwelling on it and explained, "Actually, the military has designated accommodations for officers' family members who come to visit without accompanying them. As long as the higher-ups approve, they can move in. It's against the rules for the regimental commander to arrange for you, sister-in-law, to stay here."

Moreover, officers of different ranks could apply for different types of family housing. Battalion commanders lived in single-story houses with small yards behind them where they could grow vegetables, but the number of such houses was limited, so…”

Yan Fei's words were brief and to the point, and An Ning understood his meaning.

The stern-faced regimental commander she encountered today probably used his connections to get her a preferential treatment.

Soon, the two arrived at the accommodation that the dark-faced regimental commander had arranged for An Ning.

There are only two rooms. The entrance leads to the living room, the stove is by the window, and the bedroom is inside. The total area is about 50 square meters.

Although someone had lived there before, the place was kept very clean after they moved out, leaving only an empty bed, a desk, and a chair.

Just after Anning entered the room with her luggage and child, a woman from the next room peeked out. Seeing that there was no one else outside, she quietly walked to another family building and found a military wife she knew.

"Guess what I just saw? People have moved into the house that Battalion Commander Wu left vacant after his demobilization! It was the orderly from Regiment Commander Li's side who personally led the way!"
