Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around! Chapter 2128

Chapter 2128: Daring

“Sorry to disappoint you. I haven’t thought about going back since I left the hospital.”

Major Xia, who had finished what he came here to do, stood up lazily. His thin lips curled into a slightly roguish smile. Facing the commander-in-chief’s might, he said calmly, “I plan to go to the airport and head to the Southern Province now. I have to see your daughter-in-law. Otherwise, I’m really afraid that the daughter-in-law you said you finally got will be s.n.a.t.c.hed away by another man.”

Why would he go to the Southern Province when he was injured? He had to be healthy to chase his wife!

Commander Xia’s expression darkened completely. “Nonsense! Go see her when you’ve recovered!” He took an encrypted file from a drawer. “Take a look at this.”

“I’ll take a look at the file, but I’ll also go to the Southern Province. I’m not fooling around with you.” Xia Jinyuan would not change his decision, especially about Ye Jian.

He calmly accepted Commander Xia’s extremely intimidating gaze and opened the doc.u.ment unhurriedly. When he saw it, he was immediately amused.

“I’m not even in a hurry. Why is the military so anxious?” This was a doc.u.ment regarding the promotion. It stated, ‘In view of Major Xia Jinyuan’s long absence, I request the military to approve Major Xia Jinyuan’s promotion.’

Commander Xia had never interfered with his son’s promotion matters, but when the doc.u.ment reached him, he had to ask, “You should’ve been conferred the rank of lieutenant colonel last July. Why are you still unwilling to be conferred the t.i.tle? Do you want to learn from the founding general? Are you not going to be liberated?”

“You’re mocking me again.” Xia Jinyuan took the doc.u.ment, and his gaze landed on the bright red military badge on the cover of the doc.u.ment. His slender fingers caressed it gently. “It’s not that I don’t want to. I just want to slow down a little and wait for Ye Jian to catch up.”

He wanted to wait for Ye Jian to graduate and receive the same rank as him.

…

Hearing this, Commander Xia’s unfathomable eyes flickered. His son cherished Ye Jian more than he thought.

‘Good lad, you’re tough! As expected of the son of the Xia family!’

Commander Xia, who was very satisfied in his heart, revealed anger on his face. “You don’t want the rank just because you say so? Do you think the t.i.tle is child’s play? You’ve been delaying it since July last year, yet you still want to delay it?”

“I’m not delaying anything. I’m just slowing down.” Xia Jinyuan knew that his father was just bluffing. However, he had to explain this matter to his father. “If nothing goes wrong, Ye Jian will be able to get the t.i.tle of Outstanding Student and be promoted to a captain after that. She has also contributed to the army since junior high school. After graduation, she can be promoted to a major. I’m not in a hurry and can wait for four years. Let’s talk about it after she graduates.”

Commander Xia chose not to listen to his explanation. “That’s not something you can drag out just because you want to. The rank has already been lowered. You have to think about it even if you don’t want to. I’ll get the guards to take you back to the hospital. Behave yourself.”

He definitely had to be promoted. How could he drag it out?!

If he didn’t listen, someone would deal with him.

Commander Xia was referring to Ye Jian.

Xia Jinyuan, who did not want to face the old man, took a step back and did not mention going to the Southern Province in the afternoon anymore. Instead, he said that he needed to look for Major General Yang and would go to the hospital after he was done.

Before the guards could come over, he left happily under Commander Xia’s cold gaze.

He really needed to find Major General Yang from the army. He had to ask the Xueyu unit which comrades had gone overseas to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion.

After he left the office, Commander Xia called the major general of the army and instructed him to get the guards to escort Xia Jinyuan back to the hospital. Then, he called Ye Jian and asked her to persuade the troublesome b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
