Chapitre 1719: You Must Come Back

Usually, the soldiers' family members would not be informed when they were sent on a mission. This time, the higher-ups had made a call to Xia Wen directly, which meant that it was a very serious matter.

Even Xia Mao and Xu Lan were not allowed to know about this mission. The military would only allow one family member to be informed.

"I guess so. If it's over quickly, I'll be back in a few months. I don't think it'll take too long," Xia Zhe said, pretending to be relaxed.

"When do you set off?" Xia Wen asked.

After a long silence, Xia Zhe said, "I'm on leave for 10 days this time round and there are only seven days left. I'm leaving for the mission after this break."

Xia Wen slowly squatted down as he leaned against the wall. He was unwilling to accept the fact that Xia Zhe had to go on this mission. Why did it have to be his younger brother? Why not someone else?
