chapter 60

After staying in the hospital for nearly a month, Qin Shu was finally discharged.

The car accident injured her so badly that she almost lost half of her life.

Fortunately, she was young and had a strong recovery ability. Moreover, she was given the best medicine in the hospital, so she just needed to rest properly in the following days.

Ling Mohan was commanding the military drill in the army. He told Adjutant Li to go to the hospital and send Qin Shu back to the military compound. He didn’t forget to call Qin Shu and order her, “Without my permission, you are not allowed to go out and run around. You stay at home tamely and recover your health.”

Qin Shu asked unhappily, “Are you saying that I need to report to you before I go out? Isn’t that too tyrannical?”

Ling Mohan said in a strong tone, “This is a military order. Don’t disobey it, or you’ll be put in confinement!”

To deal with Little Qin Shu, he had to use a tyrannical method. Otherwise, this little woman wouldn’t be law-abiding and would specially cause trouble for him.

Qin Shu gritted her teeth and hung up the phone, without showing him any respect.

As the dignified captain of the special forces in City Lin, Ling Mohan was hung up on the phone by a little woman, and his face turned gloomy.

“Take the orders. Scouts, prepare for attack; commandos, attack in two groups from the left and right side!” Ling Mohan stared coldly at the soldiers in front of him with his sullen and handsome face. “Stand up straight, spirit up! Now is the time to test your combat readiness level and actual combat ability. If anyone dares to be distracted and fail, they will die on the battlefield in the future! Do you understand?”

“Yes, sir!” all the soldiers shouted. They held their heads high and raised their chests with straightened faces.

Facing their commander who was as cold-blooded as the King of Hell, how would they dare to distract their attention and fail? They wished they could fight bravely even risking their lives!

Therefore, Qin Shu was probably the only one in City Lin who dared to lose her temper with Ling Mohan. However, Ling Mohan indulged her intentionally or unintentionally. Perhaps even he himself didn’t notice that.

Of course, Qin Shu could not feel the so-called indulgence, either. Instead, she was angry that Ling Mohan was too tyrannical and he grounded her in the villa.

There were two guards standing guard at the entrance of the villa. Ling Mohan had specially arranged for them to keep an eye on Qin Shu. In addition, there were also those patrolling soldiers who refused to let Qin Shu out without the orders of the military commander.

Qin Shu was bored and somewhat missed the days at work.

She was hospitalized for so long and didn’t participate in the intern exam of the military industry group. Even if Lin Xian appreciated her ability to work, he couldn’t just make an exception and make her a regular employee.

Moreover, her health hadn’t fully recovered, and she needed to rest for at least three months. Before that, Lin Xian already made it clear to Qin Shu that she lost her job.

It was not true if she said that she wasn’t disappointed.

Especially when she saw her classmates sending moments in WeChat and congratulating Tang Anru on becoming a formal employee of the First Military Industry Group, Qin Shu became even more annoyed in her heart.

Qin Shu stood up and slowly walked to the study. She intended to find a book to read and killed the boring time.

There were many military books and materials in the study, as well as a pile of ordinary military documents.

Qin Shu was too bored, so she simply flipped through all of these documents.

When Ling Mohan returned after finishing commanding the military exercise, he saw the little woman who had offended him was sitting after the desk and writing something swiftly. There were piles of documents on both of her sides.

He slightly raised his eyebrows and silently walked over. Qin Shu did not notice him at all.

Even though Ling Mohan’s aura was usually powerful and could not be ignored, since he was an outstanding special forces soldier, he definitely had the ability to conceal himself from others.

Like now, for example, when he walked to Qin Shu’s side and stood still, Qin Shu was still immersed in the military documents and did not notice anyone approaching at all.

Ling Mohan’s gaze fell on those documents.

They were all translated by Qin Shu from foreign military magazines. Her language was accurate and easy to understand. She even made detailed notes and detail sketches, making the originally obscure foreign military information simple.

She was indeed worthy of being Professor Qin’s daughter!

As a trace of appreciation appeared in Ling Mohan’s eyes, he suddenly said, “Alright, you should go rest for a while.”

“Ooh!” Qin Shu was startled a lot by him, and she was a little annoyed. “Every time, you always come and go like a shadow, do you want to scare me to death?”

“You weren’t much on guard at all.” Ling Mohan rapped her forehead and carried her horizontally back to the bedroom.

Qin Shu was indeed tired, so she quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Ling Mohan returned to the study again and carefully read the information Qin Shu had organized. Then, he took out his mobile phone and called the Secretary General of the Secretary Department of Military Industry Group.

“I need you to transfer Qin Shu over to be my secretary.” Ling Mohan only said this one sentence.

The Secretary General was secretly shocked. He didn’t expect that the colonel would call him directly to ask for someone. He asked for Qin Shu by name to be his secretary. What was going on?

No matter what, since the colonel had made it clear that he wanted Qin Shu, the Secretary General would not be so stupid as to tell him that Qin Shu had been fired.

Not long after, Qin Shu, who was originally sleeping in the bedroom, also returned to the study and glared at Ling Mohan with displeasure. “Did you tell the Secretary General that you wanted me to be your secretary?”

“This is work.” Ling Mohan showed an unselfish look on his face.

Qin Shu didn’t believe it. She sized up the man in front of her up and down and felt that his entire body was filled with the aura of a bastard. The way he looked was like he had almost written the word “hooligan” on his forehead!

Personal secretary? He was clearly asking for that for personal considerations!

She didn’t want to be a little secretary!

Seeing Qin Shu’s reluctance, Ling Mohan’s eyes turned slightly cold and he said in a deep voice, “You’ll be safe beside me.”

Eh?

Qin Shu was slightly stunned. So this bastard was worried about her safety?

In the next second, Ling Mohan said, “In case that you’ll be lured away by other men.”

Qin Shu: “…”

He was mad!

Ling Mohan suddenly picked up a copy of the military documents that Qin Shu had just translated, with a very serious expression. “You are very suitable for this job. I need someone like you to help me deal with some things.”

For some reason, looking at the man’s dark and deep eyes, Qin Shu unexpectedly agreed!

When she regained her senses, she felt regretful in her heart. Finally, however, she could only return to the bedroom angrily and continued her sleeping.

Just as she left the study, Ling Mohan received a call from He Ting.

He Ting seemed to have said something on the phone. Ling Mohan sneered and said, “Continue the investigating!”

Professor Qin’s research results was a secret all along. Up until now, no one knew where the results were or who had taken them away. Many people in the military were also secretly searching for the results.

Back then, Professor Qin and Professor Tang were working on the research project of military weapons together. The seemingly unexpected traffic accident caused both of them to die… If the car accident was really related to the research result, it would be worth exploring!

In an instant, Ling Mohan’s gaze was as sharp as a knife, and a frightening chill flashed through his eyes!

…

Qin Shu did not know that Ling Mohan was secretly investigating her parents’ car accident, but she felt that sometimes the way this bastard stared at her became even more unfathomable.

She couldn’t figure it out, so she threw it aside and started to help Ling Mohan with some daily matters when she was free, such as the documents sent over by the military industry group.

It could be said that she had officially assumed the post of colonel’s secretary.

On this day, the military industry group sent over a report on holding the anniversary banquet.

This was a very important matter. Qin Shu did not have the authority to make decisions. She could sign only after Ling Mohan read the report and agreed.

Two days later, Ling Mohan handed Qin Shu an invitation letter for the anniversary banquet. He needed her to follow him to this grand banquet as a secretary.

The anniversary banquet was arranged on Friday night and would officially begin at eight o’clock.

The location was in the lobby on the top floor of the military industry group. It was a luxurious lobby specially used by the Group to hold grand banquets.

…

On Friday.

Night slowly descended, and dusk enveloped the entire bustling city.

One after another, the low-key and luxury cars or shiny and luxury cars drove into the military industry group. There were also a lot of military cars with respected license plates slowly coming in. Many soldiers were arranged to stand guard downstairs at the building.

Inside these military vehicles sat a lot of commanders and chiefs in the army, all of whom held high positions of power. Therefore, in addition to the soldiers who were standing guard, there were also secret guards lurking in the dark to protect these important figures.

Rich bigwigs and the influential officials who came from the upper classes in military, political, and business field, were all present at this banquet.

Of course, this was the anniversary banquet of the military industry group, so there were also many high-ranking employees attending this banquet.

The hall was luxuriously decorated, big enough to accommodate over a thousand people. The crystal chandelier hanging high above reflected a beautiful brilliance. In the center was a giant champagne tower, and there was beautiful golden liquid flowing in the wine glasses.

Before the banquet officially began, many people had already arrived in the hall, holding champagne and chatting elegantly with others. The talks between them were mostly tentative.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door, and the crowd sighed in admiration.

They saw a couple of handsome man and beautiful woman slowly walk over. The man was dressed in a silver-gray, senior, and custom-made suit. His handsome face was accompanied by an elegant temperament, making a graceful and noble young mister.

The woman wore a pure white and elegant gauze dress, with her fine shoulders slightly exposed. She had a slender neck, and her pale golden hair fell down from her shoulders. Her delicate and pretty face wore a shallow and appropriate smile. With her light makeup, she looked beautiful and attractive, like a gentle and pure angel.

It was Qi Mingran and Tang Anru!

Qi Mingran was the eldest son of the Qi family and the president of Qi’s Group. This time, he brought his girlfriend to such a grand banquet and attracted everyone’s attention as soon as they appeared. He was even more convinced in his heart that choosing Tang Anru was the most correct choice he ever made.

Tang Anru was decent and graceful, and she wouldn’t embarrass him. If it were Qin Shu, perhaps everyone would be joking behind his back now.

Tang Anru held Qi Mingran’s arm and smiled with her bright and beautiful eyes. A charming temperament oozed out of her at every pore, winning the envy of many people present.

“Anru, you are so beautiful today!” The deputy secretary of the Secretary Department walked over with a glass of champagne in her hand.

Tang Anru smiled and thanked the deputy secretary softly. She also picked up a glass of champagne and clinked it with that of deputy secretary’s. The two of them gently took a sip.

In the first place, Tang Anru was selected by the deputy secretary to join the military industry group, and then she worked under her. From this point of view, Tang Anru was considered to be on the deputy secretary’s side.

Tang Anru stood out from the crowd of interns. In fact, this also made the deputy minister enjoy due respect in the company.

On the contrary, Qin Shu was valued by the secretary general before, but she did not participate in the exam and was kicked out of the military industry group. A lot of subordinates were having a good laugh at both the secretary general and Qin Shu.

Suddenly, the deputy secretary’s assistant whispered, “I think I saw Qin Shu downstairs.”

“Qin Shu?” The deputy secretary was a little disdainful, but she concealed it well and didn’t show it. “She’s not a group employee, what is she doing here?”

The implication was that Qin Shu was not qualified to participate in the banquet.

The assistant laughed and said, “Even if she wants to participate, she can’t enter. The secretary general appreciates her, but it’s impossible for her to send an invitation to an employee who has resigned, right?”

The deputy secretary also laughed and looked over at the secretary general.

The deputy secretary believed that this year’s position of the secretary general must be hers!
