That evening, Qi Taiguo dined with the main troops. Just halfway through, someone called him away, but no one knew who it was.
The person picking up Qi Taiguo came in a military vehicle, which inevitably sparked discussions among onlookers. Even Qiu Dahai, who came along, quietly asked Gao Linbing who the person was.
Gao Linbing said, "Don’t ask. Some things we’re not supposed to know, just pretend you don’t know." He vaguely guessed who it was but didn’t say more, only feeling a bit envious.
Seeing Gao Linbing remain silent, Qiu Dahai stopped asking.
Qi Taiguo was taken to a large residence in a military district; it was the Ning Family’s home.
Entering the mansion, he met Old Master Ning and Ning Gang, quickly snapping to attention and saluting them: "Greetings, Old Chief! Greetings, Chief!"
"Alright, no need for formalities. I heard you’re here for training. We haven’t seen you in a while, so I called you over for a cup of tea. Have you eaten?" Old Master Ning asked with a smile.
"Reporting to the Old Chief, I’ve eaten!" Qi Taiguo replied immediately.
"Alright then, come and sit!" Old Master Ning gestured towards the sofa.
Ning Gang gave him a glance and also sat down.
Qi Taiguo was a bit tense but sat down, legs together, back straight.
"We’re all family here, no need to be so tense. Speak freely." Old Master Ning chuckled as he observed.
Qi Taiguo acknowledged but continued to sit upright, slightly facing the Old Master.
Ning Gang nodded subtly, acknowledging his manners.
