Chapter 34 Zhao Jingchuan surfaces and Anna is shocked
Anna's gaze was passionate and bold, without any of the shyness and timidity that women of this era should have.
Song Mingchen felt uncomfortable being stared at, so he clenched his fists, put them to his mouth and coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.
Zhuang Luming became anxious when he saw Anna didn't say anything.
"An girl, come on, tell me, what did your dad find out?"
Anna did not answer Zhuang Luming's question, but raised her slender jade finger and pointed at Song Mingchen's bowl.
"Captain Song, eat this piece of braised pork first, and I'll tell you."
Song Mingchen didn't say anything. He put the rice and meat into his mouth and swallowed them without chewing.
Anna's clear laughter echoed in the private room.
While laughing, he picked up a piece of bitter melon fried egg for Zhuang Luming with his chopsticks.
"Here, eat this too, I'll tell you."
Song Mingchen glanced at Anna sharply, about to get angry.
In the end, he swallowed his breath and took another big bite of the food.
Anna couldn't help but pout when she saw him like this.
"My father found out that the driver who pulled the cart back then was not dead, but was most likely hiding under someone else's name."
"What did you say? Why didn't your father call me with such an important clue?"
"Uncle Zhuang, didn't you say you wanted to break up with my dad? You forbade my dad to contact you again. My dad was almost mad at me because of this."
Zhuang Luming's face fell instantly, and he tried to defend himself a little embarrassedly.
"Didn't your Grandpa Zhuang have an accident? The situation was very serious at the time. Were you afraid that it would affect your An family?"
"But my dad said you don't consider him a friend and look down on him."
"How could I? Oh! Old An is really so stubborn. I said those harsh words for his own good, didn't I?"
Zhuang Luming rubbed his hands together, feeling a little annoyed.
He didn't want to hurt his old friend's feelings.
Song Mingchen couldn't stand it anymore. He kept wasting time and couldn't get to the point.
"Who did the driver replace? Name, address."
That cold tone really annoyed Anna.
She grew up in a military compound and has always been a favored child.
There were at least eighty boys surrounding her.
If she treats any boy a little bit nicely, that boy will be so happy that he will be unable to sleep for several days.
As a result, even though she was so eager to follow him, he still had a sour face.
Miss Anna got angry and her tone was no longer so gentle.
"I don't know. He's so stubborn when asking for help. He must be used to it."
Zhuang Luming quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Come, come, come, An girl, eat some food first. Uncle Zhuang remembers that you like potatoes in the stewed potatoes with braised pork the most. Don't pay attention to that brat, he is just a blockhead who deserves a beating."
"Report to the commander, the Haidongqing commando team still needs to conduct a task decomposition drill. I will go back first."
As a result, Song Mingchen stood up, expressionless, and left after saying this.
Anna felt a breath stuck in her chest, unable to move forward or downward.
I have never seen such a hammer in my life.
"Wait, sit down and finish this meal, and I'll tell you the name and address."
Anna finally compromised.
I thought, "Forget it, forget it. You're the first man I've ever fallen in love with. I'll just have to bear with it. When we get married, I'll see how I'll deal with you."
Because she knew that with his stubborn temper, if she didn't take advantage of this opportunity, it would be difficult for her to have close contact with him again.
"Okay, you little brat, you're not done yet, are you? Sit down and eat. It's shameful to waste food, don't you know?"
Zhuang Luming helped Anna at the right time and also gave her a way out.
He was really afraid that this brat would just run away without caring, which would be too embarrassing for the girl.
Song Mingchen sat back with a sullen face and started eating with big mouthfuls.
The four dishes and one soup on the table were quickly eaten up by Song Mingchen, the big eater.
Anna was stunned. She had never seen anyone eat so much.
"Now that you're done eating, go ahead and talk." Song Mingchen sat upright and uttered a few words without looking away.
Anna swallowed and clenched her back teeth, knowing that this was the only way for today.
"Zhao Jingchuan, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of X County, S City, A Province."
Zhuang Luming and Song Mingchen and his son looked at each other.
They both saw an expression of sudden enlightenment in each other's eyes, as if it was just as expected.
"How did your father find out about Zhao Jingchuan?"
"My dad didn't go into detail. He said if you want to know, you should ask him in person. And you have to apologize to him."
Zhuang Luming was truly touched. This old friend was so loyal.
It is enough to have one close friend in your life who will stick with you until disaster strikes.
"Is Zhao Jingchuan also one of the targets of your mission this time?" Zhuang Luming asked Song Mingchen.
"Commander, keeping the mission confidential is the basic principle of a soldier. Although you are the commander, you are not the commander of this mission."
Zhuang Luming gritted his teeth and stretched out his index finger to point at Song Mingchen a few times.
"Get out of here now. I get angry just looking at you."
Song Mingchen saluted and left.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he breathed a sigh of relief.
For a hardcore straight man, it is really difficult to understand the thoughts of a little girl like Anna.
In Song Mingchen's eyes, women like Anna are troublesome and the farther away from them the better.
Zhuang Luming tried several times to tell Anna that Song Mingchen was married.
But I don’t know how to start.
The girl didn't express her attitude and said that she liked her son.
Would it be a bit too deliberate to bring this up now?
Zhuang Luming was struggling with this, but Anna was very happy about it.
"Uncle Zhuang, I like Song Mingchen. You won't be dissatisfied if I become your daughter-in-law, right?"
Anna is a straightforward person and never hides what she likes or dislikes.
Besides, she had a good family background and was beautiful, so there was nothing she couldn't get.
So, she said it fluently and naturally, just like she did in the past when she wanted beautiful clothes or expensive gifts.
Zhuang Luming smiled bitterly, he had no choice but to say it this time.
"Oh, An girl, if my son is lucky enough to marry you, that would be great. But, Mingchen has already been married in the countryside and has a son and a daughter."
The news came like a bolt from the blue.
Anna opened her big watery eyes wide, her face full of disbelief.
"What did you say? He, he's married? And he has a child? How is this possible?"
"Didn't he join the army when he was 15? He only came home a few times in the eight years he was in the army. How could he get married?"
"Also, his comrades said that he would rather give up his family leave to others than go home during the Chinese New Year. If he really got married, would he still be unwilling to go home?"
Zhuang Luming couldn't answer any of this series of questions.
"Uncle Zhuang, you said that he didn't want to go home to visit his relatives. Does that mean he doesn't like that country woman at all? They don't have any relationship at all?"
