The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 162: Dinner Together

As the car drew nearer, Commander Song's smile became increasingly stiff.

Mu Lianshen parked the car in front of him and rolled down the window.

From the driver's seat, Mu Lianshen looked up with a cold gaze that seemed to freeze the air, making one feel a shiver.

At this moment, Commander Song felt a chill and was unnerved. He stiffly saluted and spoke loudly, "Hello, sir..."

Mu Lianshen regarded him coldly and asked in a flat tone, "Which unit are you from, and who is your division commander?"

Commander Song began to sweat. "Division... Division Commander Song Chaoyang."

"Oh?" Mu Lianshen responded calmly, "So your division commander assigned you to guard the checkpoint outside the county?"

Commander Song's voice began to tremble. "No... not exactly, I'm on loan."

"Alright, loaned. I'll verify this with your division commander later."

Commander Song slumped to the ground in relief.

Mu Lianshen glanced indifferently in Lin Yong's direction.

He then honked the horn, and the checkpoint personnel immediately cleared the way.

Pressing the accelerator, Mu Lianshen drove the car out of Linyang County.

As the car drove away, Commander Song quickly got up, approached Lin Yong, and said anxiously, "You need to have Director Liang contact our division commander. I'm just here to help, it's not a violation of discipline..."

Lin Yong mocked him with a smile, "Commander Song, did you mention any disciplinary issues when you took my money?"

Seeing Commander Song's face turn pale, Lin Yong chuckled and patted him on the shoulder. "It's fine. Since you're here, it's obviously not an issue. Besides, with the incident in Linyang County..."

"The county party secretary's death is mysterious. You're here to assist us in apprehending suspects, so it's understandable. Outsiders won't say anything."

Commander Song gave a bitter smile, but his words were conditional on no one pointing out the problem. This wasn't their military district's responsibility; apprehending suspects should be handled by the local police. Plus, he had been paid for this task...

Now, he had clashed with high-ranking military leaders and was uncertain about the consequences awaiting him.

"Was that person just now from the military district?"

Hearing Lin Yong's question, Commander Song looked up and said, "That was the commander's vehicle..."

Lin Yong was taken aback, his eyes reflecting deep thought.

The rest of the journey was smooth. Mu Lianshen drove steadily, and they soon arrived in Anyang County.

They dropped Zhao Chen off at the train station to buy a ticket home. Since there was still some time, they lingered outside the train station.

At the train station entrance, Mu Lianshen looked at Zhao Chen, who had a calm expression, and said softly, "Take care..."

Zhao Chen's eyes showed a trace of sadness as he met Mu Lianshen's gaze and smiled, "You've changed a lot now. You've lost that wildness from the battlefield."

Mu Lianshen also smiled. "When you have attachments, you change."

"Senior Brother, you must cherish yourself. This life was saved by your brothers; you should treasure it..."
