Chapter 1283: Arranging a guard for Xiao Dong?

Beijing.

PLA Army General Staff family quarters. Second Uncles villa.

Lunch was ready, and Ci Lifen invited Dong Xuebing to the table. Xie Guojian poured a glass of Erguotou for Dong Xuebing and got a stare from his wife.

Xiao Bing is injured. He cannot drink. Ci Lifen said.

Dong Xuebing replied. I am fine, Second Aunt. I want to drink, too.

Xie Guojian laughed. This guy is strong. These injuries are nothing to him, and drinking alcohol is fine.

Dong Xuebing thought to himself. The second Uncle knows him well.Follow current s on ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

Ci Lifen said. Huilan would be angry with you if she knew you made him drink.

Xie Guojian thought nothing about it. We men got to drink for our wounds to heal faster. Alcohol can kill germs.

Nonsense. Ci Lifen laughed and said to Dong Xuebing. I cannot talk to him.

Its fine, Second Aunt. Dong Xuebing wants to drink. I had not drunk for a while. Haha I must have a few drinks to celebrate Second Uncles promotion. I am returning to Fen Zhou City soon. Huilan and my mother will be watching me. I will not have the chance to drink.

Ci Lifen points at them. You two are drunkards. Haha

Dong Xuebing raised his glass. Heres a toast to you, Second Uncle. Congratulations on your promotion.

Xie Guojian knocked his glass. Your Second Aunt is correct. You should not drink too much.

Ok. I will drink slowly.

A small sip will do.

They took a big gulp each. This alcohol is delicious.

Xie Guojian raised his glass. This is a toast to you.

Ci Lifen raised her teacup. Heres a toast with you, too.

No you are my elders. I cannot accept your toast. Dong Xuebing quickly lowered his glass and knocked onto their glasses lightly. I should be toasting to you two. I took the hard disk on my way out. Its nothing much. You dont need to thank me. You are making me uneasy.

They drank.

Dong Xuebing puts down his glass. Huilan should inform me. I was puzzled why you all shifted.

They chatted for a while, and the topic changed to Zhong Lizhen.

According to Huilan, Xie Guojian tried to court Zhong Lizhen when they were young. But they did not avoid talking about her, and Dong Xuebing knew it was in the past.

Ci Lifen laughed. We wanted to invite Lizhen over for lunch today.

Xie Guojian laughed. She just returned and is busy doing her nationality paperwork. She is doing research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I called her, and she said she was busy. But she is concerned about your injuries. She asked us to tell you not to be rash next time.

Dong Xuebing smiled. Aunt Zhong joined the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Xie Guojian replied. My rank is nothing compared to her. After Lizhen returned her nationality and entered the Chinese Academy of Sciences, she was promoted to department head and held the Major General rank. Haha I worked for over twenty years to become a Major General in the military. But she got it after coming back for a month.

Ci Lifen added. She is a researcher. What do you know?

Xie Guojian ignored her and laughed. The PLA Central Hospitals Liu Xuemei, Deputy Director Liu, was Chinas youngest female general. Lizhen took over her title now. She is a few years younger than Director Liu. I guess Lizhen will win the highest scientific awards, too.

Aunt Zhong has a bright future.

We were too focused on chatting.

Lets eat, Xiao Bing.

Here, try this.

Sure. I am looking forward to trying Second Aunts food.

Haha Its been a while since I cooked. I hope it still tastes good.

It tastes good. No I must get another bowl of rice later.

Our Xiao Bing is so sweet. Wait there. I will get you another bowl of rice.

After lunch.

Everyone is full.

They cleared the table and sat on the couch.

Second Uncle. Dong Xuebing looked at him. I worked in the State Security for a few months. The second division you are in charge of is it

The PLA General Staff department has lots of divisions under them.

However, the second division is different. It is a department that is similar to State Security.

Xie Guojian laughed. I just took over; the official document is not out yet. But do you know what was my first task when I got there?

Dong Xuebing asked. What is it?

It is your file.

Huh? My file?

Xie Guojian points at him. I heard a lot about you from Huilan. But after looking at your file, I realized you caused more trouble than I know. Your file requires the highest security level in the Second Division. I forgot to ask earlier. Did you go to Hong Kong recently?

Dong Xuebing wiped his sweat. Please dont let Huilan know, Second Uncle. I

I understand. Xie Guojian warned. You need to watch out. You are injured and should not be running around.

Ci Lifen said. The Central Police Guard Bureau is under the Second division. Xiao Bing is always causing trouble and has offended many people. You should assign a guard to protect him.

Xie Guojian laughed. The Central Police Guard Bureau is a special department, and they are independent. I cannot order them. Only Huilan was assigned a guard among the younger generation, and Senior Xie approved it. This is because Senior Xie dotes her the most. I cannot assign a guard to Xiao Bing. I need to Senior Xie to tell them.

Ci Lifen looked at her husband. Go and ask.

Dong Xuebing waved his hand. Thanks for the offer, Second Aunt. But I dont need a guard, and I might be protecting him in an emergency. Having a Police Guard might sound glamorous, but Dong Xuebing does not want to be watched or restricted. This is not protecting him. It is to watch him. He is used to freedom and does whatever he wants.

Ci Lifen laughed. Thats right. You dont need anyone to protect you with your combat skills. Haha

They heard and knew about Dong Xuebings capabilities.
