Afternoon.
The surface of the sea was cool.
In a private room on the warship.
Dong Xuebing changed his daughter's diaper and fed her gently with a bottle. The warship started to sail back to China, and there are about two more days before they return to the mainland. Dong Xuebing was in a good mood when he thought about returning home. After feeding his daughter, he hugged his daughter and played with her in the room. He pretended to be a wolf to scare Xiao Qianqian and pretended to be a sheep to play with her. The facilities on the warship were more complete than the cargo ships. The environment was comfortable, and the beds were soft. There was even an induction cooker and a place for a hot bath.
"We are going home soon. Are you happy?"
"Ah … ah … ah …"
"You naughty boy! You are pulling my ear again."
"Ah … ah …! Ah …! "
"Haha … Be careful, I will smack your butt!"
At this moment, someone knocked on the door from the outside.
Dong Xuebing, whose ear was being pulled by his daughter, asked the person to enter. He carried his daughter and turned around. His hair was a mess from Qianqian's pulling.
A young female soldier walked in. She saluted and said solemnly, "Mr. Dong, the Captain wants you to go over for a while. Please."
"What is it?"
"I am not sure."
"Ok. Ok."
"Come with me. This way."
… …
On the other side.
The Captain was reporting the situation to his superior. "That's the gist of the situation. We had rescued all the hostages, and there were no casualties. The ransom had been collected, but all 21 pirates were killed. We are preparing to return. Commander Xiong, please give us your instructions!"
It was the Navy's Deputy Commander Xiong Liping. After hearing the report, Xiong Liping was puzzled. "You are saying that one of the hostages on the cargo ship had killed 21 pirates?"
The Senior Colonel replied seriously. "Yes!"
"How many pirates are there?" Xiong Liping asked.
"A total of … … a total of 21."
"Oh, your warship's cannons and military snipers together couldn't do anything to the pirates, but he, a civilian, killed 21 pirates?"
The Senior Colonel heard what Dong Xuebing said and felt embarrassed. Indeed, they had embarrassed themselves this time. They did not manage to kill a single pirate during the exchange of fire. They did not even injure those pirates. The Senior Colonel still can't accept this. "That Xiao Dong should not be an ordinary person. I had asked him for his name, but he did not tell me. He only told me his name is Xiao Dong, and he is from the Commission for Discipline Inspection."
"Discipline Inspection? Civil servant? "
"Yes, that's what he said."
When Xiong Liping heard this, he was even more speechless. Why was it getting more and more ridiculous? If it was a soldier, it would be understandable, but a civil servant who worked in an office all day could actually defeat the combat power of a warship by himself. He charged into the pirate ship that was raining bullets and killed more than 20 pirates by himself? Not only did he come out unscathed, but he also rescued all the hostages? What the hell is going on?!
"Are you sure?" Deputy Commander Xiong asked for the last time.
The Senior Colonel replied. "I am sure. Many people had seen what happened earlier. Commander Xiong, could there be other departments involved in this operation?"
Xiong Liping replied. "I have only sent you all this time. No one else is involved."
"Oh, that Xiao Dong said he is here to look for his goddaughter. That's the baby who was kidnapped a few months old. That means he should be here to look for his goddaughter. But he said he is from the Commission for Discipline Inspection. That might not be true." Until now, the Senior Colonel still does not want to admit that he and his men are not as good as a civil servant from the Commission for Discipline Inspection. If Dong Xuebing is from the Public Security Bureau, they can still accept him. But is he from the Commission for Discipline Inspection? This is a little … …
Xiong Liping was stunned. "Goddaughter?"
"Yes." The Senior Colonel replied.
"His goddaughter is that baby?" Xiong Liping muttered to himself. "No matter what, we had completed our mission. Thank you all for your hard work!"
"Not at all!"
"Permission to return!"
"Yes, Sir!"
Xiong Liping paused for a second. "Get someone to keep an eye on that person 24/7. If he is acting strangely, detain him as a last resort. Wait until you all return to China, and it will not be hard to find out his identity!"
"Yes, Sir!"
"I will report this to the higher-ups. I will give you all a second-class merit for this operation. Help me say hello to all the comrades!"
"Thank you, Chief!"
… …
Outside.
The female soldier brought Dong Xuebing to the Captain's room.
Along the way, many soldiers were looking at Dong Xuebing. Some were sneaking peeks at him, and some were staring at him.
Xiao Qianqian's eyes turned red, and she is about to cry.
Dong Xuebing thought to himself. Why are you all looking at us? Look, you are making my daughter cry!
Before Qianqian starts crying, Dong Xuebing quickly raises her above his head. "Come. Daddy will raise you up high. Don't cry."
Xiao Qianqian blinked her cute eyes.
Dong Xuebing laughed and lifted her up again. "Oh … Raise me up high. Our little princess is going to fly."
Xiao Qianqian looked at Dong Xuebing and giggled.
Dong Xuebing kissed her forehead. "You are crying and laughing at the same time. You don't know how to be happy."
Little Qian Qian ignored her father and waved her hands in the air, crying out anxiously.
Dong Xuebing knew Xiao Qianqian wants him to raise her up again. So, he held his daughter's armpits and lifted her up again.
Xiao Qianqian is not scared and is grinning from ear to ear!
Seeing this scene, the female soldier who led the way revealed a smile and winked at Little Qian Qian.
… …
The Captain's room is in front.
There is no one in the room, and the female soldier let Dong Xuebing in. She points to the sofa. "The Captain wants you to wait for a while. He will be here soon."
Dong Xuebing nodded and placed the child on the sofa to let her play by herself. Dong Xuebing's arms were tired, and he stretched his arms a few times. After that, he took out his phone from his pocket and switched it on. There is no signal, and the signal is still intermittent. Dong Xuebing asked the female soldier. "Can I borrow your communication device for a while? I want to tell my family that I am safe. " Dong Xuebing does not want to keep his family waiting and also wants to tell them that he had saved Qianqian.
But the female soldier replied. "You should ask the Captain. I cannot make the decision."
The door opened, and the Senior Colonel entered. "What do you want to ask me?"
The female soldier replied. "Mr. Dong wants to borrow our communication device to contact your family."
The Senior Colonel looked at Dong Xuebing. "Comrade, I am afraid we cannot do this. Military communication devices can only be used for communication, and we are not allowed to borrow it."
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and said. "Never mind. It's fine. I will wait until my phone has a signal."
The Senior Colonel suddenly said. "Let us keep your phone for now. I am sorry, but we might need to search you. Please cooperate."
Dong Xuebing frowned. "Search me? What do you mean? "
The senior colonel was just going through the motions. "We can't confirm your identity for now, so this is a necessary procedure. Please understand."
"Oh … I don't understand." Dong Xuebing is someone who can be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force. Even if a general is standing in front of him, he will scold them. He doesn't care who they are. Furthermore, he had just helped the warship to capture the pirates and saved the hostages, and you want to search me? What's wrong with you all? Even if this is the rule, you all should at least show some mercy. If I am a criminal, will I help you all to save the hostages?
The Senior Colonel frowned.
The female soldier immediately steps forward and is about to search Dong Xuebing.
But Dong Xuebing did not even look at them. He was playing with his child. He does not think much of these two soldiers.
The Senior Colonel reached out to stop the female soldier. Actually, he does not have any ill intentions towards Dong Xuebing. When he was about to say something, the communicator in the room rang.
The Senior Colonel walked over. "It's me."
"Captain, Deputy Chief Xie from the Political Department is looking for you."
"Chief Xie? Put him on now! "
Chief Xie from the General Political Department? The Collective Second-class Merit was approved so quickly? Deputy Chief Xie had informed him personally?
The Senior Colonel was surprised. He stood up and greeted politely. "Hi, Chief. I am Marine 37 … …"
Before he could introduce himself, the middle-aged man interrupted him. "Is that Xiao Dong your Commander Xiong mentioned here? Call him over! "
Xiao Dong?
The Senior Colonel was surprised but did not dare to ask. He turned to Dong Xuebing and said. "The Chief of the General Political Department is looking for you."
Dong Xuebing was confused. The Chief of the Army? Why is he looking for me?
The female soldier looked at Dong Xuebing curiously. The Deputy Chief of the General Political Department is much higher than Deputy Commander Xiong.
Dong Xuebing walked over to answer the call. "Hello."
The voice on the other end sounded stern. "Are you Xiao Dong? Which Xiao Dong? "
This voice sounded familiar. Dong Xuebing blinked. "What Xiao Dong? Who are you? "
"I am Xie Guojian!"
Xie Guojian?
Xie Huilan's Second Uncle?
Dong Xuebing almost fainted when he heard this name. He coughed embarrassedly and lowered his voice. "Second Uncle. Err … it's me."
Xie Guojian laughed. "I knew it's you! I knew it! "
But the way Dong Xuebing addressed him made the Senior Colonel and the female soldier speechless.
Second Uncle?
What's going on?
Xiao Dong's Second Uncle is the Deputy Chief of the General Political Department?
