Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 517 - Chapter 517 Chapter 517 Who Made The Call_1

Chapter 517: Chapter 517: Who Made The Call_1 Chapter 517: Chapter 517: Who Made The Call_1 “Miss, you want to make a phone call? I told you last time you are here, I would give you a discount, giving it to you at cost.” The shop owner enthusiastically pulled Nan Fei in, setting the phone right in front of her.

“I knew you must’ve wanted to call your boyfriend, don’t be shy.”

Nan Fei was between laughter and tears, she had tried to contact Huo Beijiang several times without success! “Actually, I…”

“Don’t be shy!”

“Thank you!” Nan Fei expressed her gratitude, and with a let’s-see-what-happens attitude, she made a call to Snow Eagle. She dialed Huo Beijiang’s office number, which would put her directly in touch with him without any transfers.

The phone was answered quickly, “Hello, I’m Jiang Nan Fei, I…”

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Chen Qi’s surprised voice, “Sister-in-law, it’s you! You finally called.”

Nan Fei was stunned. What is this talk about her finally calling?

She had tried to call multiple times, she had even made a special trip to Snow Eagle, only to be turned away without even stepping through the door.

“I have called previously, and it wasn’t you who answered.”

“Ah?” Chen Qi was clearly surprised, “That’s really unfortunate, perhaps I was not there due to training.” He couldn’t linger by the phone all day.

Chen Qi was very excited and said jovially over the phone, “Sister-in-law, did you call to look for our boss?”

“Yes, I wanted to ask where he’s been? Did he go on a mission?”

“I don’t know either!” Chen Qi said distressingly, “All I know is that our captain was transferred, but about the specifics, I’m not really clear.” The last combined mission was executed by the elite of the elites, with the captain leading four teams of deputy captains. He was just a rookie, and didn’t have the qualifications or ability to participate in this level of mission, so he had no understanding about the specifics.

All he knew was that once the mission ended, the captain never returned!

Along with Lu Jin and four deputy captains, they didn’t return, the military region had already assigned a new captain to replace the captain.

“What about Lu Jin?” Nan Fei remembered that Huo Beijiang had a particularly good friendship with Lu Jin. “Did he get transferred along with Huo Beijiang?”

“They left together!” Chen Qi wanted to share the speculations everyone had behind the scenes, but remembering about the confidentiality rules in the military, he swallowed his words.

Nan Fei’s hand holding the phone tightened suddenly, her heart sank. Her tender lips slowly curved into a cold arch, and she sneered to herself in her heart!

The real son was indeed more important, after all.

“I understand! Thank you, Chen Qi.”

“You’re welcome, sister-in-law. If there are any issues, feel free to talk to me.”

“Thank you then, goodbye.”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qi tidied up before exiting. He just happened to run into Li Chi at the door and promptly saluted him.

“Who was that on the phone?” Li Chi asked.

“It was sister-in-law!” Chen Qi explained, fearing Li Chi would get confused, “It was Jiang Nan Fei!”

“Oh!” Li Chi nodded, waved his hand to dismiss Chen Qi.

He had participated in the mission that day as well. After the mission ended, Lu Jin and four deputy captains left directly with Huo Beijiang, and he was one of the two small captains leading the troops back.

Li Chi squinted his eyes, his gaze paused on the telephone through the window for a moment. He then slowly clenched his fist, a cold smile creeping up the corner of his mouth.

“Major, there is someone looking for you. They are already in your office.”

“Let them in!”

Li Chi concealed his emotions, striding towards his office. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Shi Ying sitting behind his desk.

A wicked smile spread across Li Chi’s face.
