"Thank you all for your concern."
The reporters' concern was evident in their words. Meng Huai walked up to them and said this.
Jing Yuancheng and Hui Xingxiu also thanked the reporters and the viewers in the live broadcast.
A reporter told them, "There aren't many people in the live broadcast right now, only a hundred million. People are busy with work and school at this time. By evening, the live broadcast can reach billions of people. Everyone is very concerned about you."
"So many people!"
Hui Xingxiu was clearly surprised to hear the reporter's words. He never expected so many people to care about them, it was almost unbelievable. He expressed his sincere thanks again.
However, before Hui Xingxiu and the audience in the live broadcast could chat for a few moments, the audience started urging them to leave.
【Stop talking, hurry back and rest!】
【Yes, you've been buried underground for more than ten days, hurry back and wash up to sleep!】
【Exactly, you're all covered in dust!】
【Thinking about how difficult those ten days must have been, it's really been tough on these kids! No, why am I speaking like an old person, I'm only fifteen!】
【Go rest quickly!】
The viewers in the bullet comments were all urging the three to go back and rest. The reporters also started to urge them, "You should go back and rest. These viewers are worried about you! It's good that you're all safe!"
"Yes, yes, go rest first! We hope to see you again in the next league."
Meng Huai and the others quickly replied, "We will."
"Then we'll see you next time!"
"See you in the next league."
Not long after Meng Huai and the others left, news also came from the Tenth Military Academy. The five students from the Tenth Military Academy were not so lucky and all died buried underground.
After the rescue team brought out the remains of the five students, they handed them over to the Tenth Military Academy personnel. Gao Fei's mission was thus completed, and he left with his team.
After finishing his work, Gao Fei, now relaxed, remembered that Marshal Meng had been very strange earlier.
At that time, he was only paying attention to the awkward atmosphere between Crown Prince and Meng Huai, which made him overlook the fact that Marshal Meng had called Meng Huai his daughter. Now that he recalled it, he found Marshal Meng very unusual! Moreover, his expression didn't seem like he was confused. After all, that was Marshal Meng! How could he be someone who would talk nonsense!
Gao Fei muttered, "Could she really be Marshal Meng's daughter?"
However, while thinking about this, Gao Fei did not dare to discuss it further with anyone. He only thought about reporting this matter to His Majesty upon his return, because if Meng Huai was indeed Marshal Meng's daughter, this would not be a small matter.
After all, Meng Huai's strength was very high. If she were from the Meng family, would it affect the status of His Majesty and the Xie family! Thinking about this, it wasn't that Gao Fei was overthinking, but rather that he needed to consider these things for Xie Yelin.
Then Gao Fei thought again: What was going on between Crown Prince and Meng Huai?
While Gao Fei was thinking about 'reporting', Xie You had already arrived at the Imperial Capital Star. He first went to the military region to finish some work that had been delayed over the past two days. When he returned home, Xie Yelin was already waiting for him.
"You're back!"
Xie Yelin watched Xie You enter, sat on the sofa, and casually said this to Xie You. His tone had a hint of schadenfreude, because Gao Fei's report had already reached Xie Yelin by afternoon.
When Xie Yelin heard the speculation about the relationship between Marshal Meng and Meng Huai, he also pondered it. Then he thought of Marshal Meng's first wife and, after some investigation, found that Meng Huai's name and age perfectly matched.
Gao Fei was also shocked to hear this, "You mean Meng Huai is the child born to Marshal Meng's first wife? Didn't they say that child died?"
Xie Yelin could only guess, but if what Gao Fei said was true, and Marshal Meng called Meng Huai his daughter, then this possibility was very high!
Therefore, Xie Yelin said, "There might have been some oversight!"
Gao Fei expressed his concerns to Xie Yelin, "If Meng Huai returns to the Meng family, won't it make the Meng family too powerful?"
Xie Yelin clearly wasn't very concerned about what Gao Fei said, "One person doesn't have that much influence, and besides, it's not certain if she will return to the Meng family! Don't worry too much."
Hearing Xie Yelin say this, Gao Fei was relieved.
So, when Xie You returned home that evening, Xie Yelin was already waiting for him.
As soon as Xie You got home, he saw his father waiting for him. Seeing his father's expression, which seemed to be enjoying the show, Xie You felt something was wrong.
He immediately thought of slipping away, "Ah, Father, you're back. I'll go back to my room now!"
How could Xie Yelin let Xie You slip away? "Don't go, let's chat."
Xie You rubbed his nose and had no choice but to sit on the single sofa nearby, waiting for Xie Yelin to ask questions. Xie You thought to himself: What is there to talk about...
Xie Yelin poured Xie You a cup of tea. This conversation would not end with just a few words.
Placing the tea on the table near Xie You, Xie Yelin casually asked, "Were the people rescued?"
Xie You took a sip of tea from his cup and replied, "It's not exactly that they were rescued, they dug their own tunnel."
Xie Yelin was clearly surprised to hear Xie You say this, "They dug their own tunnel?"
Speaking of this, Xie Yelin muttered softly, "Gao Fei didn't mention that!"
Xie Yelin wondered if Gao Fei hadn't reported this point because he wanted to cover up his incomplete mission. But Gao Fei was purely focused on the relationship between Meng Huai and Marshal Meng, and had forgotten that Meng Huai and the others had dug their own way out...
When he heard this question, Xie You answered affirmatively, "Yes, the work from the previous few days was delayed. So, on the tenth day of excavation, they unearthed a mine shaft. Just as they were about to follow the traces of the excavation, Meng Huai and the others had already come out."
When Xie Yelin heard the first sentence, he was already nodding, "Didn't you say Marshal Meng brought a rescue team a few days ago?"
Before Xie You could answer, Xie Yelin commented again, "These students are really amazing. In such an environment, they didn't panic and were able to save themselves."
Xie You also nodded and replied, "Those three are all single soldiers, so their psychological quality and physical fitness are superior."
"That's true. If they were mecha masters, they would have the will but not the strength."
After discussing the rescue, Xie Yelin got to the point.
"Tell me, why is that pharmacist Meng Huai? Why do you know Meng Huai? What's your relationship with her? Why did she give you the potion? Why did she help me recover my senses? Tell me."
Xie You thought that he had never encountered his father asking so many questions at once. He pondered which question to answer first.
Just as Xie You was about to answer the first question, the conversation that belonged solely to the father and son was interrupted.
Someone was coming.
