Parents never seem to win against their children, and Jiang Conghe was no exception. Exhausted in body and mind for his daughter, he looked at her gaunt face and compromised.
Chiang Qing’s lips curved slightly as she listened to him give commands over the phone. Then she turned and went back to her room. She had to dress up nicely.
Commissar Tan was stunned when he received Commander Chiang’s orders. After hanging up, he sighed to Regimental Commander Mai, "At this point, Commander Chiang still hasn’t given up, wanting to see Qi Taiguo. Actually, it’s Military Doctor Chiang who isn’t letting go." Honestly, after all this trouble, did Military Doctor Chiang not have a brain? Didn’t she feel ashamed?
Regimental Commander Mai frowned and said, "You know what Taiguo is like, especially at a time like this. How could he possibly obey?"
Having just witnessed Taiguo’s stubbornness, Commissar Tan asked, "What should we do, then?"
Regimental Commander Mai also worried. After a long pause, he said, "How about we say there’s a temporary emergency mission and assign it to him? He might not be able to return in time?"
Commissar Tan glared at him, disapproving the half-baked idea, but with no better option, he said, "Let us first talk to Taiguo and see if he’ll go. After all, he holds the rank of commander. We should afford him some respect. If he agrees, that’s best. If he doesn’t, then we delay. Commander Chiang is in a rush to return, he surely won’t wait."
Regimental Commander Mai wasn’t very hopeful, but, bound by his superior’s command, he had no choice but to make the call, cursing Chiang Qing in his heart.
