Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 788: Seven hundred eighty-six, picking up someone

After breakfast, Lu Hanmo took Yhan Cheng to the Guard District.

Just as they arrived at the training ground, they saw a young soldier jogging towards them.

The young soldier stopped in front of Lu Hanmo, saluted, and said, "Captain Lu! The commander has asked for you to visit his office."

"Okay." Lu Hanmo nodded, glanced at Yhan Cheng beside him, and said to the young soldier, "Take him to my office."

"Yes, sir!" The young soldier replied.

Lu Hanmo looked at Yhan Cheng, "Yhan Cheng, you wait for me in the office, don’t wander off."

"Okay, Uncle Lu!" Yhan Cheng obediently nodded.

Lu Hanmo slightly curved his lips into a smile and strode towards Bai Tinggu’s office.

When Bai Tinggu saw Lu Hanmo coming, he pointed to the chair opposite him. Once Lu Hanmo was seated, he began, "We’ve just received the news that Comrade Yhan Zhan has honorably completed his mission and is now on his way back."

Lu Hanmo nodded, "I know."

"The reason I called you here is because I heard that you’ve arranged the promotion formalities for Yhan Zhan. If I’m not mistaken, his ability to complete the mission and escape danger probably had a lot to do with your assistance," Bai Tinggu looked at Lu Hanmo.

After learning of Yhan Zhan’s disappearance, the Guard had sent several parties to attempt his rescue. However, with Sabo’s substantial influence in Gong Country, Guard’s forces were simply incapable of approaching the area, let alone rescue Yhan Zhan. Only the Lu family’s intervention could aid Yhan Zhan in completing his mission and escaping the peril.

"That’s right." Lu Hanmo did not deny it.

"Do you have a close relationship with Yhan Zhan?" Bai Tinggu asked curiously. If there were no ties, the Lu family would not intervene unless it was for a mission. Every Guard Member has their responsibilities, and even the state cannot ensure the safety of every Guard Member’s life, much less the Lu family.

"You could say that," Lu Hanmo replied. If it weren’t for Shushu telling him that Yhan Cheng had taken a bullet for him in a previous life, he wouldn’t have gotten involved in this at all. Guard Members participating in undercover missions are prepared for sacrifice by nature.

"Yhan Zhan has done quite well in all aspects of Guard qualities. His safe return is also a blessing for our Guards," Bai Tinggu said reassuringly.

When Yhan Zhan was first assigned to this mission, it was after thorough consideration. Yhan Zhan was meticulous and steady, making him the perfect candidate to infiltrate Sabo’s organization.

And Yhan Zhan did not disappoint him. He had infiltrated Sabo’s organization for a full three years, not only gaining access to the inner circle but also becoming a trusted confidant of Sabo. Moreover, he secretly sent back information hundreds of times, preventing contraband drugs from entering Yan Country.

"Mhm!" Lu Hanmo nodded in agreement. This was also one of the reasons he had rescued Yhan Zhan.

"Hanmo, I heard that Yhan Zhan’s wife and child visited your family yesterday?" Thinking of the rumors outside, Bai Tinggu couldn’t help but laugh.

Lu Hanmo raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Yes, is there a problem?"

"There is! The Guard’s Wives are claiming that Luo Shu made Yhan Zhan’s wife cry by bullying her, and that she even beat up Yhan Zhan’s son to the point he was limping," Bai Tinggu laughed. Given Luo Shu’s character, he naturally wouldn’t do such things.

"Utter nonsense!" Lu Hanmo was genuinely impressed by the imagination of those people, "I think Yhan Cheng has a good aptitude, and I want to coach him personally. Yesterday I had him hold a horse stance for an hour."

"Of course, I know you wouldn’t do such things," Bai Tinggu said with a smile, swiftly changing the subject, "What do you think about the Nanyang Guards Squad exercise next month? Who do you think would be suitable to send?"

Lu Hanmo took out a notebook and passed it to Bai Tinggu, which contained his comprehensive evaluations of various soldiers, "Wang Lianfeng is a good choice, and the abilities of these few soldiers are all quite impressive."

Bai Tinggu took the notebook and began to flip through it. The records within were detailed, including personal characteristics, hobbies, and proficiency in Guard skills.

After deciding on the candidates, Bai Tinggu closed the notebook and handed it back to Lu Hanmo, "Hanmo, aside from the people we’ve mentioned, how about letting Yhan Zhan lead the team this time?" With Yhan Zhan’s capabilities, he should be up to the task.

"That will depend on Yhan Zhan’s recovery," Lu Hanmo said. When he had seen Yhan Zhan that day, his condition was very bad. Even though his addiction was cured, his physical state was still not optimistic, and it would take a long time for him to recover.

"What happened to him?" Bai Tinggu asked. His impression of Yhan Zhan was still from the old days.

"Years of taking banned substances have severely drained his body," Lu Hanmo said blandly. That’s also why many soldiers who become undercover agents, even after completing their missions, can no longer return to their former selves. Once they become undercover agents, they face many things beyond their control.

An army-green train sped along the tracks, occasionally letting out a whoop of its whistle.

Yhan Zhan stood in the train’s corridor, watching the swiftly passing scenery outside the window, and a slow smile spread across his face. In two more hours, he would be back in the Guard District he had longed for day and night, back to see the wife and child who filled his thoughts.

He had thought he would never have the chance to return to this land in his lifetime, but now his wish had finally been fulfilled.

Smiling, he closed his eyes, and a tear slowly slid down from the corner of his eye—a tear of both bitterness and happiness, containing countless grievances, countless yearnings...

Luo Shu hung up the phone, walked over to the sofa, and said to Lin Helian, who was doing handicraft, "Sister Yhan, come with me to the train station to pick someone up."

Lin Helian nodded, put down the handicraft parts she was handling, stood up, and asked, "Who are we going to pick up?"

"A friend." Luo Shu smiled mysteriously, and, taking Lin Helian, she walked out of the house towards the distant parking lot. She had just received a call from Hanmo, informing her that Yhan Zhan would arrive in Jiangzhou in less than an hour.

As they reached the parking lot, they could see Lu Hanmo and Xiao Cheng waiting for them from afar.

"Captain Lu is coming with us too?" Lin Helian was somewhat surprised to see Lu Hanmo. It must be a very important friend, otherwise, Lu Hanmo would probably not come along.

"Yes," Luo Shu nodded.

"Maybe Xiao Cheng and I should not go then," Lin Helian suggested. It didn’t seem right to tag along as they met friends.

"Just come along, Xiao Cheng probably hasn’t been out for a long time, right? Take it as a trip out for him to get some air," Luo Shu said with a smile.

"Mom! Uncle said he is taking me to the train station to meet someone, and I’ve never been to a train station before." Xiao Cheng ran over and looked at Lin Helian with an eager expression on his small face.

Lin Helian was initially hesitant, but seeing Xiao Cheng’s bright smile melted any qualms she had, "Alright! Then we’ll go to the train station to see the train."

"Wow! This is great! I’ll get to see the train!" Xiao Cheng exclaimed excitedly, his face breaking into an innocent smile befitting his age for the first time.

"Attention, passengers! We are now arriving at Jiangzhou Train Station. Please take all your belongings and exit from the corresponding carriage..." a sweet voice from the conductor came through the loudspeakers.

Yhan Zhan picked up his luggage, which had been prepared early, and strode towards the carriage door.
