After Ye Shaohua and her entourage left, those remaining in the Military District compound hadn’t come back to their senses yet.
"Team Leader Wu, what just happened?" Someone beside Wu Jiayong had been stunned for a long time, thinking that it was one thing for Shaohua to return, but why had the commander and the superiors come as well?
Wu Jiayong pursed her lips, offering no answer.
It was at this moment that Lang Zongyuan walked into the Military District compound, carrying his hat.
Seeing his mother standing at the gate, with tears still in her eyes, he couldn’t help but run over, "Mom, what’s wrong?"
Upon seeing that Lang Zongyuan had returned safely, his mother’s eyes widened, "Zong... Zongyuan, are you, are you all right?"
"I’m fine," Lang Zongyuan whispered, reflecting on his brush with death, "I nearly didn’t make it out, but later on, Shaohua returned and rescued Lin Lan and me. If it hadn’t been for her rushing to our rescue, I really..."
As he got to the last part of his sentence, the expression on Lang Zongyuan’s face was unusually tender compared to his norm. freёwebnovel.com
His mother and the neighbors were at a loss for words.
He had been captured by the enemy and even with Wu Jiayong and so many others, no one had gone in for a rescue. Listening to how Lang Zongyuan described it, it was clear how dangerous the situation had been.
Yet, amidst so many, only Ye Shaohua had risked her life to rescue them.
Lang’s mother said nothing and directly knelt in front of Ye’s mother.
Ye’s mother, still concerned about Shaohua’s wellbeing, immediately stepped aside when she saw this.
Shaking her head, she looked at Lang Zongyuan, "Shaohua said that she just wanted to go save Lin Lan, and besides, you are comrades in arms. If Shaohua had been the only returnee today, I would have disapproved of her too."
After speaking, she took Bu Yong into her home to start preparing a meal.
However, her words left the group outside deep in thought.
Those who had followed Wu Jiayong, originally wanting to celebrate her anticipated first-class merit, fell into a silence.
A look of bewilderment filled their eyes.
Because they had followed Wu Jiayong and been indoctrinated by her ideology, they had always had a smooth sail, cherishing military honors and even looking down upon the special forces from the training camp.
But today, they observed Lang Zongyuan give them a mere glance before he departed.
The group of soldiers following Wu Jiayong were rendered silent.
They... seemed to have been mistaken since the beginning.
And even... envied Lin Lan and Bu Yong for having a Team Leader like her, someone who would fearlessly face death for their sake.
"Lang bro..." Seeing Lang Zongyuan’s indifferent expression, Wu Jiayong’s heart fluttered with panic for some reason, and she immediately went forward, trying to call out to him.
However, Lang Zongyuan merely paused for a moment and then called her "Team Leader Wu" in a distant manner.

After getting home and taking a shower, Lang Zongyuan waited at the door for Ye Shaohua to return.
He still remembered that Shaohua had originally joined the military for him.
