The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 243

Mom had quite a few wounds on her body, but luckily none of them were fatal. Even though the medical staff bandaged her as quickly as they could, it still took them half a day. When they were done, Xin Zi went to the commander's office.

Knock knock!

She knocked, opened the door, and closed it behind her.

Han Ting was just about to say "Come in" when his voice got caught in his throat. His speaking speed could never match Xin Zi's pace of action.

After Xin Zi came in, she sat right across from him and said, "You're responsible for destroying the 100 jin of catnip."

Han Ting: "Whoever confiscated it is responsible!"

Xin Zi: "Also prepare a batch of ammunition for me."

Han Ting: "Your overseas base already gets so much investment from the country every year. You're coming to ask me??"

Xin Zi: "I also need 100 sets of bulletproof vests and helmets."

Han Ting: "Are you even listening to me speak??"

Xin Zi: "Can't be missing any sniper rifles, assault rifles, or grenades either."

Han Ting: "Hey hey hey!"

Xin Zi: "That's it for now. I'll tell you if I need anything else."

Han Ting: "Ahhhhh!!"

Bang!

Xin Zi slammed her fist on the table, and the wooden table sank down where she hit it.

Han Ting's voice cut off abruptly.

Xin Zi: "I'm taking a roundabout route to the overseas base. Don't have enough time, got it?"

Han Ting: "Got it, got it! I'll prepare them for you right away! But why did you come by yourself? You're a major general, leading the charge? Give me the coordinates and I'll send a transport plane to deliver them directly there!"

Xin Zi: "Reveal the location? Load them onto my helicopter! Speed! I have to leave tonight!"

Han Ting: "Will do right away!"

...

As soon as Nan XiangWan walked out of the infirmary, she saw Mantou and Gu Beihuai whispering to each other.

Mantou gave Nan XiangWan a nod and then left.

Gu Beihuai turned around and asked her, "Tired? The commander is busy today so give your report tomorrow morning."

She had just rushed back from abroad and then there was the emergency landing of the major general's military helicopter - things were complicated and troublesome.

The little one has worked hard!

Nan XiangWan shook her head. "Not tired. Is Mantou single?"

Gu Beihuai was surprised. "What's up?"

The light in Nan XiangWan's eyes was piercing. "You two are a couple, heh heh!"

Gu Beihuai: "!!!"

He really couldn't hold back and gave Nan Xiangwan a knock on her helmet.

Dong!

The helmet gave a light clang.

Gu Beihuai: "What kinds of things go through your little brain all day?"

Nan XiangWan gave Gu Beihuai a weird look.

Did she get it wrong again?

That shouldn't be!

---------------

At Nan Song and Nan ChaoYang's home in Taohuayuan Villa, Gusu City.

Nan Song and Nan ChaoYang sat facing each other with two bowls of rice and a plate of radish pickles between them.

With no news of his wife, Nan Song didn't have the heart to make dinner.

They'd just eat a little something so they don't starve.

The two of them waited and waited until finally there was good news!

Xin Zi was safe!

Mother and daughter have met!

It's just that Xin Zi still has to continue her secret mission and can't come back for now, and also can't contact her family.

Nan Song breathed a sigh of relief, then started laughing. "I knew that my wife is the most amazing and could never have gotten into trouble!"

Whereas Nan ChaoYang quickly picked up his bowl and started eating.

He was starving!

Seeing his son eat with such appetite, Nan Song laughed as he opened a food delivery app.

After scarfing down two large bowls of rice and all of the radish pickles, Nan ChaoYang let out a satisfied burp.

Just then, Nan Song got up to open the door.

Nan ChaoYang: "Dad, where are you going so late?"

Nan Song: "Oh, picking up a food delivery."

With that, he opened the door and took two large bags of takeout boxes from the delivery person.

Nan ChaoYang stared with his mouth agape. "Why didn't you say something earlier? I'm already full!"

Nan Song: "You didn't ask!"

Nan ChaoYang: "Ah! What did you order?"

Nan Song: "Oh, hairy crabs and crawfish."

A little celebration is in order. Five star rating.

Nan ChaoYang: "......"

Dear father,

Are you kidding me?

------------------

With the alarm lifted, operations resumed as normal at Lingshan Military Region.

From beginning to end, Feng Kai Ji and the other actors had no idea what was going on.

Especially Nan XiangWan's disappearance for two days, which worried everyone sick.

Not only that, but Gu Beihuai had also spent a night in one of the infirmary's patient rooms.

Feng Kai Ji specially went to take a look, and when he came back he was so frightened his soul nearly left his body!

The medical soldiers wouldn't let him ask much, so he didn't get any information. But he did see Gu TianWang with his eyes covered.

This piece of information quickly spread among the actors.

As word spread, there started to be talk of Gu Beihuai having gone blind!

The male actors were one after another frightened and even more afraid that something might happen to the filming crew.

If it got out online, Gu TianWang's fans could drown them in spit.

Would they even be able to continue filming this movie?

However, the next day Gu Beihuai came walking normally back.

Everyone: "......"

What happened to him going blind?

TianWang, if you're fine, why were you staying in a patient room? And with your eyes covered?

Scared us to death!

...

That night when Nan XiangWan got back to the barracks, a bunch of female soldiers immediately slid down and surrounded her.

Hua Ying, Ji Jirou, and Zhu Yun weren't even able to get close or get a word in!

Nan XiangWan was so dirty that she went to take a shower.

The female soldiers also quickly dispersed.

The three actressses looked at each other, confused.

What's the situation?

Where did Nan XiangWan go these last couple days?

What was that sudden base alarm all about?

And their neighbor in the male barracks Gu Beihuai was also spreading bogus rumors about going blind.

Making everyone feel uneasy!

By the time Nan Xiangwan came back after her shower, it was already late into the night.

Outside, the night sky was deep and vast, and the chirping of cicadas in the summer continued without pause.

In the quiet base, the constant roaring sound of helicopter propellors could be heard coming from the distance, always ready for takeoff at a moment's notice.

Hua Ying lay in bed looking out the window. "Why is there the sound of helicopters so late?"

Ji Jirou shivered in fright. "We're not going to war, are we?"

Zhu Yun: "Really? Really?? I'm so scared!"

Hua Ying: "Impossible it's war. If something was really going on, would we still be here? Would training still be continuing?"

One female soldier's voice cut in. "What Hua Ying said makes sense. You 12 actors and director are continuing your training properly and everything's fine. Don't worry!"

Ji Jirou: "Phew - then that's good!"

Zhu Yun: "But I'm still scared! I miss home, wah!"

Nan XiangWan just lay there silently without moving or making a sound.

She'd be lying if she said she wasn't tired, but right now she didn't have time to sleep.

Cheng Xue had sent so many messages, with a huge number of missed calls!

Because Nan XiangWan didn't take her phone on the mission, she nearly worried her manager to death.

She quickly sent a message back.

Cheng Xue instantly replied.

'Cheng Xue: Ah!!! Miss Nan!!!'

'Nan XiangWan: Still alive.'

'Cheng Xue: I'm coming to pick you up in three days this weekend! First recording for Songzhe! First recording for Horror Escape Room!'

'Cheng Xue: The song is written well, right? Don't forget it no matter what!'

Nan XiangWan bolted up in a flash.

Crap!

She almost forgot she was a female celebrity.

She had to write a song, participate in variety shows.

This is awful!

She hasn't touched the new song at all!

Just then, the sound of helicopters outside grew closer and closer, passing right alongside the building they were in.

The sound was extremely loud!

It was a large military helicopter!

Ji Jirou swallowed nervously. "Just now I almost thought the helicopter was going to crash into us."

Zhu Yun: "Me too! Scared me to death!"

The other female soldiers were all laughing.

Crash into them?

Impossible!

Nan XiangWan didn't make a sound, just the corners of her lips hooking up slightly.

That was her mom!

Her Major General mom!

Mom must have deliberately flown past her barracks on her way out to say goodbye to her.

Hmph!

A secret signal only mother and daughter understand! You guys wouldn't get it!
