Zhou Yan saw that she held no blame, he sighed in relief, and then took his leave. He delivered the vegetables to General Song’s residence, hesitated for a moment, and mentioned to General Song about the gift Fang Yuxin had sent him.
General Song was an "Old Fox," and he immediately felt something was off. He looked at Zhou Yan and asked, "Are you saying, she asked you to open it only after returning home? And that no one else should see it?"
Zhou Yan nodded, took out the cardboard box, and placed it in front of General Song, "The box is light, there shouldn’t be much inside."
General Song hesitated for a moment then asked Zhou Yan to open it directly.
Zhou Yan didn’t refuse, as no one else was in the room besides him and General Song, he trusted General Song’s integrity, and also had his own duties in mind.
He swiftly drew his dagger and neatly opened the cardboard box and, upon looking inside, he found only a bottle of pure water and a letter. He instinctively picked up the envelope, and after seeing the words ’For General Song’s Eyes Only’ written on it, he froze.
General Song was right beside him, and he saw it too. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, and suddenly, a dreadful premonition struck him.
"Not good!" he exclaimed, snatching the letter from Zhou Yan’s hands, quickly flipping through it, and then a look of despair appeared on his face.
Seeing his complexion change, Zhou Yan also became uneasy and asked anxiously, "What’s wrong, General? What did Miss Fang write?"
General Song sighed, "She’s leaving the Safe Zone."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan’s face turned pale and he turned to leave immediately, "I’ll stop her!" He was already at the door about to open it when he heard General Song say, "No need, by now they’ve already left."
Zhou Yan’s expression changed drastically, and he quickly took out his walkie-talkie to contact the guards at the gate, "Has Fang Yuxin left?"
The person on the other end was surprised, "Major Zhou? How did you know? Miss Fang just left, said she was on a mission, what happened?"
Zhou Yan wanted to say ’Quick, bring her back,’ but after hesitating, he said, "It’s nothing, don’t worry about it, continue with your duties." After speaking, he hung up the communication.
Then, he walked up to General Song, frowning, and asked, "General, what exactly is going on? It’s so dangerous outside, how could she suddenly decide to leave the Safe Zone? Could it be... because of the Qiu Family?" He recalled yesterday’s incident of Zhou Fanghua visiting the Fang Family.
