In the army, she was allowed to participate in training, climb rocks, jump through mud pits, and endure all kinds of hardships, but it was really uncomfortable to hold her like this, as if she was being burned on the fire.

It was already awkward to eat in a place like this, especially with a bad-tempered boss whom she was not familiar with. It was so tiring to sit here and eat a big meal, which would have been more comfortable for her than just eating a steamed bun in the cafeteria.

Finally, the meal was served. She didn't recognize some of the dishes, but was too embarrassed to ask, so she lowered her head and began to eat. After taking a few bites, Zhan Junlin said, "This is not the army. There is no need to eat so fast."

She was used to eating combat meals and could finish them in just a few minutes. When she heard Zhan Junlin's words, she had to slow down and look at the people around her. They all ate slowly and chewed their food carefully.

In the army, eating is just to fill your stomach and then continue training. Here, eating is to enjoy the food. It’s different.

Leng Qing looked at the others again. They were also chatting and laughing during the meal. Then she looked at Zhan Junlin. She felt really aggrieved now. She knew that some of her words might make him unhappy, but she still wanted to muster up the courage to say it.

"Can we talk during the meal?"

"can."

Since she could speak, she just said it directly.

"You are my boss, and there is nothing wrong with me obeying your arrangements at work. I can choose not to ask about things you don't want me to know, but since you said that you asked me to accompany you to conceal your identity, I should cooperate with you where I should.

For example, if you used a fake name, you should have told me in advance so that I could better cooperate with you and not be caught off guard, which would make it easier to be exposed, right? "

After Leng Qing said these words, she was actually a little nervous inside, after all, this man was very difficult to please.

She was committing an insubordination and it would easily annoy him. After she finished speaking, she carefully looked at Zhan Junlin's expression, but his expression didn't seem to change much. He just asked calmly, "Are you done?"

"That's it."

"Then let's eat."

"..."

The man did not respond to her suggestions, but he did not scold her either. That meant he listened to her, right?

The two of them didn't communicate much after that, and finished the meal peacefully. After the meal, Leng Qing followed him out of the restaurant.

As soon as he walked out of the restaurant, he saw two teenage boys chasing and playing in the corridor. They were about to bump into Zhan Junlin, so Leng Qing quickly stood in front of him.

The little boy running in front didn't brake in time. Leng Qing dodged very quickly and shook the little boy. The little boy almost fell down, and Leng Qing grabbed his arm.

"Don't run around in public places. It would be bad if you bump into people." Leng Qing said in a tone of educating a child.

"Yes, thank you, sister." The little boy said embarrassedly, and then walked away quickly with his friend behind him.

Zhan Junlin glanced at Leng Qing. She reacted quickly just now.

"You don't have to follow me, just go back to your room first." Zhan Junlin gave the order, but this time Leng Qing did not obey his order.

"I want to keep you safe."

She still has some awareness of the overall situation. Zhan Junlin is the leader. No matter what the mission is, she will accompany him. As a subordinate, she must protect the leader's safety.

"You have a high level of ideological awareness." If she wants to follow me to protect me, then let her follow. When Zhan Junlin takes a step, she will follow behind him.

"You can guess what my mission is in Nancheng this time?" After entering the elevator again, there were still only two of them, so Zhan Junlin asked.

"When we were in the room, you said you wanted to understand an old case. You came to South City right after returning from the border. It must be related to the attack at the border."

"continue."

"The seven people who died in the border attack all had codes on them. Each code translates to a Chinese character, and it's not difficult to combine just seven Chinese characters.

The son pays the father's debt, on the tiger. This combination of seven words is the most logical sentence. The meaning of "the son pays the father's debt" is very simple. You also said that it is an old case, which is a case related to your father.

You deliberately forged your identity and came to South City, which means that the case happened here. Moreover, at your level, there are no tasks that require you to perform in person, but if it is about your father, you have to come here in person.

As for why you brought me along? I guess it was because it was inconvenient to take Captain Gu and Lieutenant Colonel Yang with you on a secret trip, and also because you didn't trust me. But even if you didn't trust me, you could easily control me in every aspect, so you wouldn't be afraid of me."

After Leng Qing finished her analysis, Zhan Junlin couldn't help but applaud her. She indeed had a clear mind and clear logic.

"Good analysis."

"For what happened at the border before, I am indeed under suspicion, but I can swear on my life that I have not done anything to disgrace this military uniform. I am not afraid of any test from you, nor am I worried about any investigation of me by the military." Leng Qing said very firmly.

Zhan Junlin just smiled coldly and didn't say anything. The elevator door opened, he walked out, and Leng Qing hurriedly followed him out.

He did not return to the room, but went to the hotel library. When he went to the library, Leng Qing had no choice but to follow him to the library.

After entering, Zhan Junlin found a military book on the bookshelf and sat on the sofa with the book.

"Now that you've left the army, don't be so tense. It's nice to calm down and read a book for a while." Zhan Junlin said while reading a book.

Reading?

Leng Qing looked at the wide variety of books on the bookshelf. The various classifications were very clear. She also found one and sat down on the sofa opposite Zhan Junlin.

Zhan Junlin looked up at the book she was reading, and it was also about military affairs. This woman was really dedicated.

For Leng Qing, it was a rare moment of quiet leisure. She read in the library for nearly two hours. When Zhan Junlin left, she left too.

She followed him to the hotel gym and worked out for an hour before returning to the room. When he returned to the room, he took off his shirt as if no one was around. Leng Qing quickly avoided him.

Zhan Junlin entered the bathroom, and Leng Qing, out of the caution and sensitivity of a soldier, checked the entire room, especially the room where Zhan Junlin lived, leaving no corner unchecked.

Zhan Junlin also took a very quick shower. A few minutes later he walked out of the bathroom, his chest muscles faintly visible through his bathrobe. Leng Qing avoided his gaze.

"The entire room has been checked and there are no dangerous items. You can rest now." Leng Qing reported.
