2936 An Accident Before Their Wedding
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting’s wedding was coming closer and was only a week away. They started sending out invitation letters.
However, right at this moment, an accident happened.
Gu Ning suddenly received Leng Shaoting’s call and was told that Xu Jinchen and Chen Meng disappeared for no reason. Some of the members of the Red Flame were also injured.
At this key moment, they needed to find Xu Jinchen and Chen Meng. It might take a long time, so it was hard to say whether their wedding could be held at the appointed time.
Because of that, Leng Shaoting apologized to Gu Ning. “Ningning, I’m sorry. I can’t live my life like normal when my comrades are missing. The accident happened while we carried out a task together. As the team leader, it’s my responsibility and duty to bring them back, but I don’t know how long it’ll take, so our wedding might…”
“Don’t be silly! Don’t forget that I’m also a member of the Red Flame. During these two years, I’ve performed task with you many times. They’re my comrades too. I must also do something to find them,” Gu Ning said.
Whether they were comrades or friends, Gu Ning had to go to find Chen Meng and Xu Jinchen once she learned that they were missing. It was just a date, and they could hold their wedding on another day, but Xu Jinchen and Chen Meng might be in grave danger.
“Ningning, thank you so much. I need to explain the situation to you,” Leng Shaoting said, feeling very grateful to Gu Ning.
“No problem,” Gu Ning replied.
Leng Shaoting and his comrades thought it was just an ordinary task this time, but unexpectedly mutants and ninjas from Country R were involved.
It was dangerous, so many teammates were hurt.
Now Leng Shaoting was on the edge of the Demon City Desert, because the accident happened there. The Demon City Desert was a place that was as dangerous as the Door to Hell, and almost no one dared to explore it. Once people entered the Demon City Desert, the chance of getting out was one in a thousand.
Besides, the sandstorms in the Demon City Desert were extremely strong. Even a helicopter couldn’t get too close, so people had to jump from a height of several hundred meters.
As a result, they could either walk or ride a camel to the Demon City Desert.
Xu Jinchen and Chen Meng got lost right there, which wasn’t good news.
Because it could affect the date of their wedding, Gu Ning shared the news with the Leng family and the Tang family.
The Leng family was aware that Gu Ning was a member of the Red Flame, but the Tang family didn’t know that until now.
Gu Ning directly called Tang Yunfan and told him about it.
When Tang Yunfan heard that Gu Ning was a major in the army, he was astonished.
Currently, Gu Ning had a title of major, but she didn’t have much power. It only proved that she had a position in the army, but even officers of the same rank didn’t dare to disdain her, because she was really outstanding.
“Dad, I know you must be worried after knowing that, but my comrades are missing. I have to find them. Please understand. Don’t be afraid that I’ll be injured. I can protect myself, otherwise the president wouldn’t have chosen me and I wouldn’t have been able to get the position of major,” Gu Ning said.
“I know you’re skilled, but as your father, it’s impossible for me not to worry. Anyway, since it’s your responsibility and duty, there is nothing I can say,” Tang Yunfan said resignedly.
Sometimes, he felt burdened since his daughter was so outstanding, because it meant that she was destined to live an exciting life.
“Dad, I’m sorry. I don’t want to worry you. And thank you for your understanding.” Gu Ning felt like crying.
After joining the Tang family, she felt well respected. Although the Tang family cared a lot about her, they clearly knew that she was adamant.
“Be careful, alright? Let me know whenever you’re safe. We don’t want you to get hurt. You don’t need to tell your grandfather and the other family members. I’ll do that,” Tang Yunfan said.
Tang Yunfan didn’t want Gu Ning to tell Tang Haifeng, Gu Man, and other family members in person, because he was afraid that they might affect her mood.
“Sure, I know.” Gu Ning answered. She understood why Tang Yunfan did that.
After hanging up, Gu Ning was upset for a long while, but she still quickly packed up and set off.
No matter how upset she was and no matter how guilty she felt because she left her family worried, she had to go out and find her comrades.
She had carried out dangerous tasks with Leng Shaoting and their other comrades many times before, but this time Xu Jinchen and Chen Meng were lost.
Jing Yunyao also went. It was too tricky, so Gu Ning alone might not be able to handle it. It was necessary for Jing Yunyao to help them.
…
After having the call with Gu Ning, Tang Yunfan remained silent for a long while before sharing the news with the rest of the family.
When they heard that Gu Ning was a major, they were astonished and felt proud of her, but when they heard that Gu Ning was going to do a task with Leng Shaoting and that their wedding might be postponed, Tang Haifeng and the other family members were worried. They cared about Gu Ning’s safety, but there was nothing they could do, because Gu Ning had already made up her mind, and they could only accept that.
In addition, since Gu Ning was promoted to major, she must have carried out many dangerous tasks before which they didn’t know about at all, so there was nothing for them to be worried about.
Gu Ning didn’t tell them until it might delay their wedding, or she might have taken the risk secretly as usual.
“Well, Ningning is too outstanding. She’s even a major in the army now. She must have carried out countless tasks to get that rank, otherwise the president wouldn’t have chosen her.” Tang Haifeng was both happy and worried since his granddaughter was so impressive.
“Although I’m very proud that Ningning is outstanding and impressive, she has to face a lot of danger. As a mother, I still wish that she could be an ordinary girl and live an ordinary life,” Gu Man said worriedly.
“It’s her destiny. Some people are destined to be extraordinary. Ningning chose to be so successful, and we can only support her,” Tang Yunfan said. They couldn’t change it.
Tang Haifeng and the other family members didn’t call Gu Ning because Tang Yunfan told them not to, in case Gu Ning felt burdened.
At the same time, Gu Ning and Jing Yunyao flew to City Feng, a city at the farthest edge of their country. Although it was far away, it was very large and occupied a sixth of the land.
