Chapter 355: Yun Shu Wants to Retire

"Did you run into a mission while you were over in Yangcheng?" Yun Fei asked.

An Yinan nodded honestly, "I didn't strike first; those human traffickers there grabbed me first!"

One must make their stance clear!

The fault must absolutely not lie with oneself; in any case, one simply cannot admit it.

"Why didn't you have Yun Shu or Yun Mo follow you?" Yun Fei asked again.

An Yinan thought for a moment and decided to speak her mind; she had been considering these matters for a long time, but had never found the opportunity to say them.

"Great Uncle, I don't have that many missions anymore, and I believe Yun Shu and Yun Mo should return to their posts."

"They love the Military so much; I cannot let them be delayed because of me."

An Yinan finally spoke the words, and she finally felt a sense of relief.

Yun Fei sat upright in his chair, sitting perfectly straight, as if all soldiers shared this habit.

She hadn't paid much attention to it before.

"Yun Shu came to see me a few days ago," Yun Fei said candidly.

"Oh?" An Yinan was very surprised.

Yun Fei looked at his niece; every child of the Yun Family had a different temperament and disposition, but they were all people who stuck to their principles.

"She said she wants to apply for discharge," Yun Fei said, not beating around the bush, speaking very straightforwardly.

An Yinan widened her eyes in disbelief; how could that be?

Yun Shu loved the army so much, training until she was half-dead every day, often covered in injuries; how could she want to leave the place she loved?

"Impossible, she loves the army so much, she couldn't possibly want to leave," An Yinan said, somewhat anxiously.

"Did she take on a mission?"

"Is she injured?"

She was very anxious at this moment, and even her speech was somewhat fast.

"Their mission is to protect you; I haven't even recalled them yet!" Yun Fei's one sentence made An Yinan quiet down.

She was not injured.

"Then why apply for discharge? She is still young; she hasn't reached the age for discharge yet."

Moreover, with Yun Shu's qualifications, even if she were older and unable to remain on the front lines, she would still step down to become a strict instructor or a trainer of troops.

Yun Fei saw An Yinan's urgency; all her thoughts and concerns were for Yun Shu, and she hadn't considered herself at all.

"She said she has grown accustomed to staying by your side," Yun Fei repeated Yun Shu's words.

"How could that be?" An Yinan was incredulous.

But she heard Yun Fei say, "You think you understand her, then you should also believe that she understands you."

"She should be clear about your thinking during this period as well."

"So she made her own choice."

"Then do you agree?"

Yun Fei paused after every sentence, so that An Yinan would not feel such a great sense of shock.

It also allowed her to be without pressure.

He had been suppressing the matter of Yun Shu, also wanting to give both of them time to think.

He hadn't expected that after being sent to her side for a few years, the child he had raised would just run off.

An Yinan fell silent, and finally, she looked up and said firmly, "I do not agree."

She and the army were never a multiple-choice question.

Even if she returned to the army, they would still be friends, still be partners.

Everything was never meant to be a choice between one or the other.

"Yun Shu, she doesn't agree," Yun Fei said loudly.

Yun Shu pushed open the door and walked in from outside the study; she stood still and gave a military salute.

Then she looked at An Yinan, "Leader."

An Yinan stood up, "So you have been outside the door the whole time?"

Yun Shu nodded, "My application was being held by the Chief; the Chief said that now you are my Leader, and I need to obtain your consent before I can be discharged."

She certainly spoke straightforwardly.

Yun Fei gave two unnatural "coughs."

He just didn't want to let her go, so what?

Is it easy for the Military to train an elite soldier?

To apply for discharge just because of a mission, isn't this just nonsense?

How could An Yinan not see her uncle's thoughts? She wasn't a fool; if her uncle had agreed, he would have signed it long ago, so why would he drag it out until she returned?

"What are you thinking? Because of me?" An Yinan asked.

Yun Shu was an orphan, and the Yun Family was her home; the Yun Family's place wasn't big, but it had rooms for them, and although several people shared a room, how many families' children had their own rooms anyway?

And the meaning of the army to her was even more different; it was the place where she had shed her sweat.

If she wasn't leaving due to injury, there was only one reason: herself!

Yun Shu looked at Yun Fei, then looked at An Yinan, "Yes!"

"Why?" An Yinan was puzzled.

"The Leader always has things happening around her; even if you don't look for trouble, trouble will come looking for you. If both Yun Mo and I leave, you won't have anyone to protect you, and I am not at ease," Yun Shu said with such resonance that An Yinan was unable to refute it.

"Moreover... the Leader is someone who cannot stay idle; it's impossible for you to stay in university forever. You are already running around everywhere now, and you will definitely be even busier in the future; you need someone by your side to look after you."

Since it was already out in the open, she simply stated all her concerns.

It is true that she wants to return to the military, and it is also true that she is worried about An Yinan's safety.

The military has so many outstanding people, while by the Leader's side, there is only herself now.

An Yinan smiled, "Just because of this?"

Yun Shu nodded, "Just because of this."

"I came back this time, one reason is to settle you and Yun Mo, and another is that I want to ask Great Uncle to help me find some people."

"You still want people? Is it not enough that you've already abducted me?" Yun Fei asked calmly.

"Abducted? Did you give?" Don't think she couldn't see through it.

"Hmph! Continue with your business." Yun Fei didn't give her a chance to ask back.

Speaking of this, An Yinan also became serious, having Yun Shu sit on a stool, and the three of them gathered around a small table.

"I want to recruit ten retired soldiers, or soldiers who were medically discharged," An Yinan said.

"I also need two or three retired soldiers with good skills to protect my safety, so that everyone can be at ease." She realized today that Chen Xun was right; these people might not take action, but their presence would make her family feel at ease.

If she doesn't have people with her, it will probably be difficult to handle things at the Compilation Bureau.

If they are retired soldiers, then the problem can be solved; after all, their skills are certainly good, and their loyalty can be trusted.

She pays the wages herself, and she feels at ease using her own people.

"This is indeed a way," Yun Fei said in agreement.

It not only helps Nan Nan, but also helps those Comrades who need to find work.

"At dinner later, your Second Aunt will come over; there is a task, and the Project Department has designated you to translate it," Yun Fei said directly. This task is not a secret in the Military District, and they have already held several regular meetings before it was finally decided.

"Second Aunt is coming too?" Are you all planning to gang up on me?

"Next time, bring people with you. Not only do you not know to bring people, but you also don't call home to report that you're safe." Yun Fei put on the airs of an elder; now that he can make himself heard, he will say a few more words.

What could An Yinan do? Just listen to the lecture!

Besides, she snuck away, so how could she call to report she was safe? Wouldn't that be walking right into a trap?

Of course, she could only think these thoughts in her heart; she didn't dare to say them out loud. She knew very well that she had provoked public anger!
