Promotion to First Lieutenant!
[Time: 19:30]
It had been three hours since Ming De and Yu Manli parted ways.
At this moment, the sky had already turned completely dark.
Ming De raised his right hand and looked at the time on his watch. Then, he walked into the airport.
Because the plane that would take them back had already arrived. At this moment, Guo Qiyun was standing at the entrance of the airport and looking at him.
"Young Master Ming, you're so strict. Manli is only a few minutes late, and you're not willing to wait?”
Ming De had only taken a few steps when he suddenly heard a slightly tired female voice coming from the darkness behind him.
Turning around, Ming De looked in the direction of the voice.
A beautiful figure dressed as a farmer walked out of the darkness and came in front of Ming De.
It was none other than Yu Manli.
"What's wrong? Are you surprised that I'm back?"
Yu Manli raised her head and stared at the platform. The corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a slightly mischievous smile.
However, her eyes were a little red. She must have cried before she came.
"It's getting late. Let's get on the plane first.”
Ming De didn't ask about Yu Manli's crying. After saying that, he walked straight to the airport.
"Aren't you going to ask me why I'm late?”
Hearing Ming De's words, Yu Manli asked in surprise. She didn't believe that with Ming De's ability, he wouldn't be able to tell that something was wrong with her.
However, Ming De only shook his head and did not say anything.
He knew very well that it would take a lot of courage for Yu Manli to give up the freedom that was within her grasp and make up her mind to come back.
The fact that Yu Manli was able to return was enough to show that the other party valued the bond between the two of them more than freedom.
And this was enough for Ming De.
……
Nothing happened along the way.
Under the leadership of Guo Qiyun, the commander of the army, the few of them returned to the military academy in less than two hours. They changed into their well-ironed military uniforms and stood in front of Wang Tianfeng.
It was already night time, but Wang Tianfeng was still sitting behind his desk.
On the desk, there were two epaulets with the rank of first lieutenant. Under the illumination of the lights, they were dazzling.
"Welcome back."
Wang Tianfeng stood up and walked around the desk to Ming De and Yu Manli. He said,"I believe the two of you understand that this mission is actually your graduation assessment. I've seen your results. They are very outstanding. You completed the mission in less than ten hours.”
"Moreover, this assessment has attracted the attention of the director. He believes that the two of you have extraordinary abilities and will definitely be able to contribute to the foundation of the party and country. He has specially sent a message to me to reward you and promote you to the rank of first lieutenant.”
Ming De didn't have much of a reaction when he heard this. On the other hand, Yu Manli, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but smile.
Being promoted to a first lieutenant meant that she was one step away from being a death row prisoner!
Wang Tianfeng glanced at Yu Manli indifferently. Then, he picked up the epaulets and put them on Mingde and Yu Manli respectively.
After that, Wang Tianfeng waved his hand and said to Ming De,""Alright, you guys have graduated. Ming De, go find Advisor Lin and ask him to take you to the storeroom to get your personal belongings. Refreshing yourself tonight, you will be assigned a new task tomorrow, and you will be leaving then.”
As soon as Wang Tianfeng said this, Ming De immediately understood that the other party wanted to use Yu Manli's attempt to escape as an excuse to beat the two of them.
Whether or not he could win over Yu Manli's heart would depend on what happened next!
"Yes, sir!"
On the surface, Ming De did not show any emotion. After saluting, he turned around and walked out of the office. He found Staff Officer Lin in the office downstairs.
Staff Officer Lin, like Guo Qiyun, was an old subordinate of Wang Tianfeng. He was in his early forties, short, and a little fat.
After Ming De explained his intentions, Staff Officer Lin brought him to the storeroom without a word.
The storage room was a sealed room of about thirty to forty square meters, with only a skylight on the roof.
Moreover, there were no electric lights in the room. The only source of light was natural light that shone through the skylight.
Due to the bad weather that night, large dark clouds covered the moon, so the entire room was dark and a little cold. If Advisor Lin had not prepared a kerosene lamp in advance, it would have been impossible for Ming De to find his luggage.
"Sigh, I've already mentioned it to the officer to change the room to be used as a storage room, but he didn't approve.”
In the room, Staff Officer Lin bent down to look for his luggage and sighed." You don't know this, but this used to be a prison to lock up criminals. Later, the prison moved, and the commander took over this place and turned it into a military school.”
"The room we are in now was originally used to lock up female prisoners on death row. I heard that no less than five or six women died in this room.”
"I'm not sure if you know this, but Yu Manli was locked up here as a death row prisoner. The words she wrote on the wall in blood seem to still be there.”
As he spoke, Staff Officer Lin straightened up and raised the oil lamp to shine on the wall on his left.
