Chapter 355 Temporary Stay
To say that Zhou Yuanjing’s operation of not trusting his own people but trusting outsiders is bizarre... must be analyzed based on the actual situation.
If Solsa was free, Zhou Yuanjing would definitely ask this confidant to send the child back in person without any hesitation. However, he happened to be transferred from the competition field to perform a secret mission by Zhou Yuanjing. He was in a hurry and might not be able to come back in a short time.
Although there were some others who were trustworthy, they were all inferior, so Zhou Yuanjing thought of Zong Ting.
Zong Ting is a special forces member of the Third Army, and is also a positioning candidate trained and favored by the troops directly under the central military. And unlike other ordinary officers, the other party has an absolutely impossible position of betraying the empire.
Although Zhou Yuanjing is dissatisfied with the current atmosphere of the military and even the unhealthy tendencies of some high-level officials, and is disgusted with this liquidation mission that is full of foolish ambitions at the planning level, he still has considerable trust in the military.
Under such a double straight line guarantee, no one is more suitable to be this escort.
And Zhou Yuanjing also needs to have a good talk with one of the task executors about today's affairs.
No one can refuse the imperial marshal's reasonable request, and the other party's request is just a piece of cake, so the clan acquiesces.
So sending someone back to Zhou Zhai is also sending them away, and sending them to other places is also sending them away. Zong Ting probably meant this, and the other party probably heard their conversation.
But Zhou Xiuwen still felt that his own meaning was inappropriate. First, he participated in the meeting that day and knew that Lieutenant Colonel Zong was probably on a mission and that the other party was not idle. If sending him back to Zhou's house was a smooth process, it might be a bit troublesome for others.
Zhou Xiuwen did not know about the ban, Zhou Yuanjing did not explain it to him, and he did not know that the chaos outside had reached this level. In this case, he didn't dare to ask Jiang Hui and the others to stay alone. It was better to go back to Zhou's house for the time being. At least his house was the safest place on the entire planet.
Even though many generals are gathering at Zhou's house, it shouldn't be a problem for a few young people to stay temporarily.
Thinking about it this way, the more he thought about it, the more feasible it became. Zhou Xiuwen simply contacted Zhou Yuanjing. It happened that the other party was also waiting, so he immediately replied to him.
"Then you can stay at my house for one night first, and we'll see what happens tomorrow." Zhou Xiuwen simply explained the situation to several friends.
Hillman was not surprised. He had just learned about the situation outside on the phone. It was very chaotic.
Although Hillman's father wanted to rush here to pick him up right away, the current situation was complicated and they had no choice. The couple had no choice but to tell Hillman to stay in the hospital carefully for the night. After all, the military hospital was a safe place under the current circumstances.
Huan Xian nodded imperceptibly, because what happened next had nothing to do with him, and it had no impact wherever he went.
Jiang Hui looked a little worried, not because she didn't want to stay at Zhou Xiuwen's house temporarily, but because she thought of something else. There was chaos outside, and I don’t know if it was a signal problem on the entire planet. The optical brain signal was also intermittent. Her smart phone failed to connect with Stark several times even after turning on the optical brain. I don’t know. What's going on.
Although it is unlikely that Stark heard the news and went to her home to look for someone, it is more likely that the person is stranded somewhere due to the ban. With her almost out of contact and running to another place with Zhou Xiuwen, Stark might be worried. "Is there any problem?" Zhou Xiuwen glanced at her and asked.
Jiang Hui shook his head and did not reveal what happened to him. He thought about trying to contact Stark later and try to assure him that he was safe.
Zhou Xiuwen had already gone to explain the situation to the Lieutenant Colonel Zong, and then motioned to several friends to follow him.
The reason why he did not introduce Lieutenant Colonel Zhongting to everyone before was because they were all still immature students, far away from the army, and there was no need to get involved in those things. The adults obviously didn't want the children to get too involved in these complicated things, so everyone separated in a tacit understanding without introducing too much.
But things are different now. They will have to rely on help from others to send them back later. They must get to know each other and say hello.
Zhou Xiuwen, as the representative, introduced Lieutenant Colonel Zongting to his friends. The children all greeted the unfamiliar officer very politely and seemed extremely well-behaved.
Of course they will not admit that their idea of being good is really good, because this Lieutenant Colonel Zong feels too righteous and stern, and even his handsome face cannot diminish his awe-inspiring look. Angry, unsmiling, and much stricter than the teachers in their school, they subconsciously restrained themselves when they saw him.
However, the other party nodded to them seriously and did not show any vagueness and perfunctoryness because they were young. This officer was surprisingly approachable.
Immediately he said goodbye to August Clarence, who was watching here, because the other party was also about to leave and go to the observation room to guard Clarence, who was still unconscious.
He said to Zong Ting and others: "That's it. Please be careful on the way. Goodbye." He swept through the crowd and finally landed on Jiang Hui who was standing behind him, and nodded to her indiscernibly. Turned around and left.
Then only Jiang Hui, the others, and the unfamiliar officer were left in the waiting area outside the emergency room. Without saying much, he led the children and the accompanying escort sergeants back to the orbiting spacecraft.
The other party got on the spacecraft first to check the internal situation. After all, the current situation was so chaotic. They had been away from the spacecraft for a long time. Although one person was left to guard the place, they still had to be careful. Zong Ting personally boarded the spacecraft for a little inspection.
The remaining people are waiting for notification in the waiting area below.
As soon as this powerful officer left the scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh my god, Xiuwen, do you know this officer? This aura is too strong! I used to meet some people from the military with my father, and few of them were as powerful as this just by their aura. Lieutenant Colonel Zong, is he from that family in the capital?" Hillman whispered to Zhou Xiuwen, his eyebrows full of curiosity about this officer.
Jiang Hui listened silently beside him, and when he heard this title, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of tears in his heart. No... Hillman is really the "king" among the familiarity. She remembered that he was still calling classmate Zhou in the morning, but now he called her by his first name, and he called her by his natural name. He called her an adult. Xinzi people are all ashamed of themselves.
