Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 307 - 306: Be Extra Careful Around Strangers
"What’s wrong, did something happen?" Gu Jia Ning asked as she watched him hang up his hat.
Sheng Zexi came over, pulled Gu Jia Ning, and sat down on the bed.
"Ningning, recently you and the kids need to be a bit more careful."
"Hmm?"
It was only after Sheng Zexi’s explanation that Gu Jia Ning understood the reason.
It turned out that Sheng Zexi received a notice from his superiors that a group of drug cartels seemed to have fled to Huan Sha Island.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jia Ning’s heart tightened slightly.
"Are you certain?"
"Not very sure, just possible. Based on the route they took when fleeing, escaping to Huan Sha Island is one possibility, a one-third chance."
"So there’s a two-thirds chance they fled to other places?"
"Yes, but a one-third chance is still a possibility. These people are extremely vicious and have committed numerous crimes, even with numerous lives on their hands."
"According to reliable intelligence, they are carrying guns with them, some bombs, and drugs as well."
Listening to this, Gu Jia Ning furrowed her brows.
"The leadership hasn’t announced this, fearing it would cause panic, but they have warned everyone to be cautious with their families, especially to be wary of strangers," said Sheng Zexi.
"However..." Seeing the worry on Gu Jia Ning’s face, Sheng Zexi patted her head and said, "As long as you stay in the military base, you’re safe."
"No matter how daring they are, they wouldn’t dare to come directly to the military base. That would be suicide."
"Yes, I know."
So after finishing the conversation with Sheng Zexi, Gu Jia Ning called Xingxing and Yueyue over.
She didn’t tell them who the people were, just said that there are bad people lately who might escape to Huan Sha Island.
She told them not to leave the military base without mom and dad’s guidance.
And to avoid talking to strangers.
"Mom, we understand." Xingxing and Yueyue nodded with seriousness.
In the following period, Gu Jia Ning could clearly feel the tension and oppressive atmosphere both inside the military base and outside.
Fortunately, this tension and oppressive atmosphere finally lifted after about a week.
"Ningning, you don’t need to worry anymore. The leadership says they’ve received intelligence indicating that the group has likely fled to the neighboring province. Someone in the neighboring province saw traces of them, and currently, the province is conducting a covert operation to capture them."
Hearing this, Gu Jia Ning sighed with relief.
Although the group should be caught wherever they flee, knowing they’re not on Huan Sha Island lets her lower her guard a bit.
And that was indeed the case. The next day, Gu Jia Ning clearly felt the atmosphere relax once more.
When Gu Jia Ning went to work at the hospital, she could feel people chatting and laughing along the way, as if a burden had finally been lifted.
Time flew by, and another half a month passed.
Gu Jia Ning, now seven months pregnant, went to work.
Sheng Zexi left for training.
Xingxing and Yueyue were sent to the military base’s kindergarten.
At that time, in the kindergarten, Xingxing and Yueyue were whispering to each other.
"Brother, it’s mom’s birthday in a week," Yueyue whispered into her brother’s ear.
Xingxing looked at his sister, "What are you trying to say?"
"Brother, have you prepared a gift for mom?"
Xingxing shook his head, "No."
"Do you want to prepare a gift for mom?" Yueyue asked.
Without much hesitation, Xingxing nodded.
On their birthdays, mom and dad always prepared gifts for them.
He remembered that last year, on mom’s birthday, dad prepared a gift for mom.
But they didn’t.
Xingxing remembered when they were just over one year old, they saw dad give mom a gift, and she was very happy.
Yet they hadn’t prepared anything for mom and felt so guilty that they both cried.
Finally, mom let them give her a kiss and said that the kiss would be their birthday gift to her.
As long as they were safe and healthy growing up, that was the best birthday gift for mom.
But the siblings knew, that was mom comforting them.
Although they were comforted at that time as their mom intended, they remembered it in their hearts.
Now, mom’s birthday was coming again this year.
In fact, Xingxing had been thinking for a week about what gift to give mom. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
But...
"The gift I want to buy isn’t available in the supply store within the military base," Xingxing said.
"Me too, so, brother..."
Yueyue’s eyes turned, "Brother, should we sneak out?"
"No way, mom said earlier there are bad people, we can’t leave the base," Xingxing said seriously.
"But I heard the bad people aren’t here anymore."
Xingxing hesitated, that was indeed the case.
But...
"We can’t just go out; the guards at the gate won’t let us out."
Not only would they not let them out, but they would also tell mom and dad.
"Then we won’t go out that way."
"Hmm?"
Yueyue leaned over and whispered in Xingxing’s ear, "I know a dog hole in the small woods where we can crawl out."
Xingxing pondered for a moment; that was indeed a solution.
But...
Xingxing was still a bit hesitant.
But eventually, the desire to buy a birthday present for mom prevailed.
"We can go, but we can’t go just the two of us; we need to take Hong Ying and Lei Ting."
Hong Ying and Lei Ting are Amber’s two kids, and they’re more lively and active.
As for why not find Amber, of course, because if they told Amber, Amber would certainly not agree.
But they could secretly take Hong Ying and Lei Ting.
Xingxing was wary because, at their age of just over two years old, no matter how clever, they could not match the strength of an adult if they encountered a bad person.
But Hong Ying and Lei Ting were different.
Dad had once trained Hong Ying, Lei Ting, Lijian, and Shandian, so a single dog from the latter group would have no problem dealing with two adults.
So, Xingxing thought it best to bring Hong Ying and Lei Ting along.
"Sure, Hong Ying and Lei Ting would definitely agree."
"We also need to leave a message for mom and dad."
Otherwise, what if mom and dad thought they went missing?
"Yeah." Yueyue agreed, nodding heavily.
The kindergarten’s end time was relatively early, at least by three in the afternoon, neither Sheng Zexi nor Gu Jia Ning would have come home from work yet.
And the ones who picked up Xingxing and Yueyue were Amber’s four cubs, taking turns.
Every day two cubs take turns picking Xingxing and Yueyue up from school together.
Today, it happened to be Hong Ying and Lei Ting’s turn.
When school finished, Xingxing and Yueyue came out with their little backpacks and saw Hong Ying and Lei Ting waiting outside.
Seeing Xingxing and Yueyue, Hong Ying and Lei Ting immediately ran over to the little ones.
Soon, Xingxing and Yueyue returned home with Hong Ying and Lei Ting.
Once they were home.
The two little ones tore out a page of paper and took out a pen.
