On the night the Shanghai socialite accompanied the military officer, he broke his vow.

Chapter 68 His wife was the best gift fate had given him.
The guard lowered his voice and told the division commander about it.

Fu Sinian and the political commissar were all next to the division commander, so they naturally heard what he said.

The division commander frowned and said in a deep voice, "What happened? What do you mean by 'the person is missing'?"

Can a perfectly healthy person just disappear into thin air?
"Commander, when I went to the guesthouse to pick up Xiao Zhang just now, I called out several times but no one answered. Finally, I had someone open the door, but I found that Xiao Zhang was not in the room at all. I searched everywhere I could think of, but I still couldn't find him."

The guard explained anxiously.

"I clearly told him yesterday that I was taking Meyer to the military area for a technical exchange today, so why isn't he staying in his room? Where did he go?"

Upon hearing this, the division commander's brows furrowed deeply, and he slapped his palm with the back of his hand in a panic.

The expressions of the comrade and the three leading mechanical engineers in the army also became serious.

"What should we do? We only have Zhang as our translator. Meyer was someone our superiors went to great lengths to invite. Without a translator, we can't communicate."

"Keep looking for Xiao Zhang. He's a perfectly healthy person; he can't just sprout wings and fly away, can he?!"

Just as the guard was about to turn back to find Xiao Zhang, Fu Sinian stopped him.

"No need to go, there's something wrong with Xiao Zhang."

His eyes were deep and his tone was firm.

Upon hearing this, the division commander and others looked at him.

"Si Nian, what's going on? Xiao Zhang is a translator sent from above, how could there be a problem?"

Fu Sinian recounted how, while they were queuing at the dock for inspection, Xiao Zhang suddenly shouted "Stop thief!" which caused the train police officer to leave his post, allowing enemy agents to infiltrate the ship.

At first, they thought it was just a coincidence, but then they encountered enemy agents who were preparing to blow up the ship. Now, it was a crucial moment to take Meyer to the military area to exchange technology, but Xiao Zhang, the translator, had disappeared.

With a series of coincidences linked together, Fu Sinian quickly turned his attention to Xiao Zhang.

After hearing his explanation, the expressions of the division commander and others were not very pleasant.

"So, Xiao Zhang's identity is quite suspicious."

One of the engineers murmured.

"It's not that it makes people suspicious, but there's definitely something wrong with Xiao Zhang's identity."

Fu Sinian pursed his thin lips into a narrow slit, and after speaking, looked at his teacher.

"Commander, Xiao Zhang doesn't have a letter of introduction and can't leave Qiongzhou Island. He should still be in the army right now. If I'm not mistaken, his goal is to sabotage this technical exchange."

The division commander nodded and instructed the guard, "Take a few more men to search for Xiao Zhang. Remember, don't alert him yet."

"Yes!"

"What do we do now? If Xiao Zhang's identity is really problematic, even if we find him, he probably won't cooperate with this exchange and translation."

Just when the group was at a loss, Fu Sinian said, "My wife speaks English. If there are no other translators in the army, I'll go to the family compound and bring her over right now."

"Comrade Song can speak English? That's great! Si Nian, go and call Comrade Song over here!"

Upon learning that Song Jinyue could speak English, the teachers, who had been frowning, were overjoyed and urged Fu Sinian to bring Song Jinyue over as soon as possible to act as their translator.

Fu Sinian immediately drove back to the family compound.

Meyer couldn't understand what they were saying, and the division commanders also couldn't communicate with him in the same language, so they could only try to explain to him through gestures.

It's unclear whether Meyer understood or not, but both of them kept nodding as they gestured.

Just as the division commander and the others were about to break their arms gesturing, a jeep stopped in front of them, and Fu Sinian and Song Jinyue got out of the car.

"Comrade Song? You speak English?" The division commander stepped forward, looking at Song Jinyue with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation. Now, they could only place all their hopes on Song Jinyue.

If this technical exchange goes wrong, it will be harder than climbing to heaven to invite experts like Meyer to come again in the future.

Under the watchful eyes of his superiors, Song Jinyue nodded. "My mother is a doctor who returned from studying abroad. Si Nian already told me about the technical exchange on the way here. Don't worry, superiors, leave the translation to me. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

After she finished speaking, she came to Meyer and explained the situation to him in fluent English.

They didn't mention any issues with Xiao Zhang's identity, only that he wasn't feeling well and that she would be serving as Mayer's translator for the technical exchanges over the next few days.

Meyer was also surprised that Song Jinyue could speak English. He didn't know what the two were saying, but judging from their expressions, they were communicating very happily.

The sun wasn't too strong at a little past eight o'clock. The sunlight pierced through the greenery overhead and shone on Song Jinyue's stunning face, making her skin appear even more radiant.

At that moment, she was communicating with Meyer in fluent English, smiling gently, her eyebrows like crescent moons and her eyes like bright stars.

He was radiant.

Fu Sinian's gaze toward Song Jinyue grew increasingly intense.

He knows kung fu, speaks English, and is skilled in medicine; his wife is truly amazing.

That accident nearly took his life. His family and his comrades all said that fate had been unfair to him.

But in Fu Sinian's view, fate had been exceptionally kind to him.

He sent such a good and excellent wife to his side.

His wife is the best gift fate has given him.

Under the dappled sunlight, Song Jinyue and Meyer talked face to face, while Fu Sinian's gaze remained fixed on her face.

Wherever Song Jinyue was, Fu Sinian could no longer tolerate anyone else.

Hearing Song Jinyue speak fluent English, the teachers and commissars breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they appeared calm, their backs were already soaked with sweat when they learned that the translator, Xiao Zhang, was missing.

Thank goodness, thank goodness, Comrade Song speaks English.

This technical exchange was able to proceed as scheduled.

With Song Jinyue acting as the translator, the division commander and others felt relieved and took Meyer directly to the army.

As a top mechanical engineer, Meyer was very passionate about mechanics and had a very pleasant exchange with the three leading engineers in the army. The technical exchange went very smoothly.

Before we knew it, the morning had passed, and lunchtime was fast approaching.

"Let's end the technical exchange here this morning. It's getting late, let's go eat first. Comrade Xiao Song, ask Expert Meyer if there's anything you'd like to eat."

The division commander looked at Song Jinyue and asked her to help translate.

Song Jinyue nodded, then turned to ask Meyer, "Comrade Meyer, since this is your first time in China, would you be interested in trying some of the local cuisine? Is there anything you'd like to eat or anything you'd like to avoid?"

Upon hearing about Chinese cuisine, Meyer said excitedly, "Of course! It's just that I'm not very familiar with Chinese food. There's an old saying in China, 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do.' Could you please recommend some dishes for me, Song? I don't have any dietary restrictions."

Song Jinyue: "Qiongzhou Island is by the sea, and the seafood is delicious. Let's go to the cafeteria and take a look."

After relaying Meyer's words, the group headed towards the army's mess hall.

At that moment, in a secluded corner not far away, a pair of resentful eyes were staring intently at them.
