CHAPTER 1491: CHAPTER 1492: I’M NOT HERE ON VACATION

However, the loud voice of the soldier on duty quickly caught the attention of the men and women who had just gotten off the bus. They all turned their gazes towards your tall and robust back.

You didn’t care about their strange looks at all. Casually finding a place, you sat down and squinted your eyes.

A few minutes later, the soldier who had been on duty walked over to you and said, "Commander, the plane is ready for takeoff. You can board now."

"Oh, thank you."

You stood up and patted the soldier on the shoulder.

"Commander, I...can I request something from you?"

You had just taken half a step when you turned around to look at the soldier, still keeping a cold face as you asked, "Speak your mind."

"My, my hometown is in Baishui Village, Wen’an County. I have a brother there whose leg is disabled, and contact with that place has been interrupted. I want to..."

You directly interrupted him, "What’s his name?"

"My brother’s name is Wang Changsheng."

"Alright, I’ve noted it down."

After speaking, you walked towards the boarding gate without turning back.

"Thank you, Commander!" The soldier gave you a deep bow.

And all of this was noticed by two people not far away.

After boarding, you sat towards the back of the plane. You didn’t like the front row, and there was no first-class section in the military plane, so the seating space was limited.

After sitting down, you closed your eyes to rest. Your destination wasn’t Chengdu. After arriving in Chengdu, you needed to get to Baishui Village in Wen’an County as quickly as possible!

It just so happens that such coincidences exist in this world, which is also why you agreed to search for Wang Changsheng.

While breathing, a faint fragrance slowly wafted into your nostrils. It didn’t smell like regular perfume, or at least not like ordinary perfume. Before you opened your eyes, someone had already sat down next to you, and that fragrance became slightly stronger, though not overwhelming.

Before long, another person sat beside you, filling all three seats in the row, leaving you squeezed into the corner.

You opened your eyes, initially ignoring the two people beside you, glanced ahead, then turned to them and said in a cold, low voice, "There are many empty seats in the front. Could you kindly switch places?"

"What if I say no?"

When you clearly saw the person in front of you, you frowned again. Although you wouldn’t say you knew her well, she was at least not unfamiliar, as she was Du Ping’an’s granddaughter, Du Yanan.

Du Yanan started systematic military training at six and enlisted at twelve, around the same age as you. However, she had outstanding talent in combat and sniping. In the Southeast Military District, she and Gong Wu’s current girlfriend, Dong Zi, were known as the Southeast Eagle Eyes.

You have seen Li Yanan several times under the identity of Li Tian since you’re both in the same military district and are both elite members, but it seems your personalities don’t mesh well and you’ve never gotten along.

Compared to you, Du Yanan always seemed to seek trouble with you. When she was young, Du Yanan was the apple of Du Ping’an’s eye and his pride. After you showed up, Du Ping’an’s praise and attention for Du Yanan decreased significantly as he spent more time on you, which made Du Yanan dissatisfied.

Over the past period, Du Yanan seized every opportunity to challenge you, but she never won.

"Why are you here?" your voice remained cold.

"How funny that you ask that. If you can sit here, why can’t I?"

In truth, Du Yanan didn’t know much about you. She only had a few encounters with you during special training in the army and wasn’t aware of your true history, much less that you were the "Tianzhu" mythologized by Chinese soldiers.

Despite this, you knew a bit about Du Yanan’s temperament—stubborn, like her grandfather.

Thus, you simply chose to ignore her and closed your eyes to rest.

As for the other woman beside Du Yanan, you had met her before. She was the so-called fiancée of the company president, Wei Yingyue.

Of course, you never acknowledged this engagement because, after all, Li Tian was just an identity to you.

As for Wei Yingyue, if it weren’t for Li Qiyi, the elder sister, you might suspect she could be Wu Qiyi, as she had many traits in common with Wu Qiyi.

However, after confirming Li Qiyi’s identity, you naturally ruled out Wei Yingyue, keeping some distance from her in turn.

Wei Yingyue was slightly stunned upon seeing you; she hadn’t expected to encounter you again under such circumstances.

Over the past month, her grandfather and father had heavily utilized their connections to find your whereabouts, yet the military kept all information about you under wraps, even with General Wei Tong stepping in.

Du Yanan didn’t know the relationship between Wei Yingyue and you, nor did she intend to introduce you to Wei Yingyue. Normally, Wei Yingyue was cold to all successful male suitors around her, not to mention you, the rough guy.

The plane quickly took off, with each of the three occupants in the row having their own thoughts.

Upon landing, everyone in the cabin rushed to deplane, especially the men in suits, naturally hoping to demonstrate their courage and fearlessness in front of the ladies.

As you disembarked expressionlessly behind Du Yanan, a handsome, well-mannered young man approached Wei Yingyue, showing a graceful smile: "Manager Wei, although the strongest tremors have passed, aftershocks could occur at any moment. Therefore, I suggest you and your team should rest at the hotel for the time being."

Wei Yingyue glanced at the man indifferently, "Thanks, but I’m not here for a vacation."

Just then, as you walked past them, Wei Yingyue was about to speak up but was interrupted by Du Yanan, who quickly asked, "Li Tian, it looks like you’re alone?"

You glanced at Du Yanan, said nothing, checked your surroundings, and then walked toward a staff member in charge of reception.

Seeing you approaching with a cold demeanor, the airline hostess tried to make her smile appear as sweet as possible, "Hello sir, is there anything I can assist you with?"

"How far is it to Wen’an from here?"

The hostess hesitated briefly, not expecting you to ask that, "Normally, it takes about two hours by car, but now many roads and bridges have collapsed, so we’re unsure."

You nodded, "Thank you."

As soon as you finished speaking and turned around, you found Du Yanan and Wei Yingyue standing in front of you, along with several of Wei Yingyue’s company employees.
