Chapter 886: Someone Was Watching

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

One of the soldiers, speaking in a light-hearted tone, remarked, “We’re all pretty jealous of Commander Su. He’s got a young, beautiful, and elegant wife. Just look at her—she’s got the air of someone from a wealthy family. Our Commander Su’s reached the peak of his life!”

Though the comment was made as a joke, it carried a truth that everyone quietly acknowledged.

Su Shen, coming from a humble rural background and raising three kids on his own, had indeed found an exceptional woman to be his wife. Whether he stayed in the military or left with her, it was clear that he had emerged a winner in life.

Since Su Shen had already decided to leave, there was no point in lingering regrets. All they could do was wish him and his family a safe journey.

The day before their departure, Huo Jing also showed up. He and Su Shen had been through life-and-death situations together, and even though Su Shen was leaving the military, their bond wouldn’t fade.

Huo Jing, as usual, was his rough, no-nonsense self, a cigarette dangling from his lips—though, out of respect for the women and children present, he didn’t light it.

Clapping Su Shen’s shoulder with a firm hand, Huo Jing gruffly said, “When I’m back in Guangzhou on leave, I’ll throw a feast to properly welcome your wife. You better not hide her away—make sure she’s there! And tomorrow, I’m sending my car to take you all to the station. You’ve got to ride in my vehicle.”

Huo Jing’s generosity was impossible to refuse, and Su Shen didn’t bother with formalities. There was an unspoken understanding between the two.

The train tickets had already been bought by Jin Long, and on the day of their departure, they all piled into the military vehicle Huo Jing had arranged. The journey to the station was smooth, with no interruptions along the way.

During the drive, Gu Zi overheard the security guard and Jin Long chatting casually and learned that today was Huo Jing and Hu Jie’s engagement day. It dawned on her that Hu Jie hadn’t shown up at the hospital since the day she and the kids first arrived.

On the day everyone came to bid farewell to Su Shen, Gu Zi had thought Hu Jie might make an appearance for such an important occasion, but she never did. Now, it made sense—Hu Jie was preparing for her wedding with Huo Jing.

Upon hearing the news, Gu Zi didn’t feel particularly upset. She simply wished Hu Jie a peaceful and fulfilling life. After all, as the daughter of a martyr, Hu Jie had such a great family background. It was a pity she hadn’t cherished it and had instead fixated on someone else’s man for so long. That must have been exhausting.

‘I hope she finds happiness,’ Gu Zi thought to herself.
