Lu Changqing?!
Unless she was mistaken, the man who had just come out was Lu Changqing?!
But why was he in such a panic?
Granted, she had turned away to talk to Song Wang just then.
But normally, he would at least have looked back after bumping into someone.
Song Ning frowned as she picked up the mesh shopping bag. The more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed.
After a moment's thought, she shoved the bag into Song Wang's hands.
"Go on in, Song Wang! I'll be right back!"
Song Ning hurried off in the direction Lu Changqing had taken.
She caught sight of him pulling a peaked cap from his bag and putting it on.
First, he looked left and right.
Then he glanced warily over his shoulder.
He was clearly on his guard.
Song Ning stopped short and instinctively stepped behind a wall.
By the time she peered out again, Lu Changqing had crossed the road and was hurrying away.
She hesitated for only a moment before unfolding the floral hat she had just bought and putting it on.
Then she hurried after him.
She couldn't help being suspicious...
It just seemed strange that the commander of a Communications Company in the Southwest Military Region would appear on the streets of Capital City looking so nervous.
No matter how she looked at it, something didn't add up.
Was he on a mission?
She did know a little about the military's duties and division of responsibilities.
Surely someone from a Communications Company wouldn't be sent on a mission like this!
Besides, Gu Zheng was Lu Changqing's regimental commander and direct superior. Yet when Gu Zheng had mentioned him earlier, he hadn't said anything about assigning him another mission!
I'll follow him a little farther and see...
