After Xu Fei spoke, Su Hong, lying on the hospital bed, could no longer hold back and opened his eyes.
“You… are you really *that* legendary Major General?”
Seeing Su Hong’s excitement, Xu Fei nodded in response.
“Sort of, but those are just empty titles others slap on me, nothing special!”
Though Xu Fei spoke modestly, Su Hong clearly understood the weight behind the term “Major General.”
As the unrivalled jade tycoon of the capital, his status was undeniably prominent.
Yet even he, when hearing whispers about the Major General, could sense the mystique surrounding the figure.
Each time he was fortunate enough to hear such tales, the storyteller would make Su Hong swear secrecy multiple times before sharing more.
This only deepened Su Hong’s conviction that the Major General was an extraordinary figure!
Now, Su Hong could hardly believe that such a remarkable person was actually standing before him!
“This… Major General, words cannot express my gratitude for saving my life. I… I, Su Hong, don’t even know how to repay you!”
“No need for repayment from your Su family. Your condition’s mostly healed, and it’s time for me to go.”
Xu Fei had had enough of being entangled with the Su family and was eager to slip away at the first chance.
About an hour after Xu Fei left, Su Yu and Su Ya rushed to the hospital.
“Father, Father, how are you? Where’s Xu Fei?”
Seeing his daughter so anxiously asking about Xu Fei the moment she arrived, Su Hong, as a seasoned man, could easily guess what was on a young girl’s mind.
He let out a heavy sigh and spoke to her earnestly.
“My dear, forget about Xu Fei. He’s someone far beyond your reach. For the sake of our Su family, act as if he never existed, alright?”
Apart from when he’d spoken of his own past as a child, this was the first time Su Yu had seen her father address her with such grave seriousness.
Countless questions swirled in Su Yu’s heart, but she forced them all back.
“Alright, Father. I promise, I’ll never mention him again!”
Meanwhile, Xu Fei, having left Ren’ai Hospital, was already back in contact with Bai Zhan.
“Bai Zhan, how’s the mountain search going so far?”
When Bai Zhan saw Xu Fei’s call, his heart tightened.
The reason was simple: he hadn’t found anything yet.
But Bai Zhan didn’t dare hide the truth, so he answered the call, stammering.
“Major General, I…”
Hearing Bai Zhan’s hesitation over the phone, Xu Fei already guessed the outcome.
“Alright, don’t beat yourself up too much. I knew this mission was incredibly tough from the start. Where’s Hell’s Ear?”
“Major General, I’m here! Though I received your orders early on, I’m afraid I can’t act this time…”
Hell’s Ear, on the line, began explaining the reasons to Xu Fei in detail.
When he first received Xu Fei’s command, Hell’s Ear had deployed all his high-tech resources and even considered requesting satellite surveillance from his superiors.
But then he noticed something was off.
