431: Goodbye Andegu

They wore matching battle armor, their weapons gleaming with a cold luster under the lights, every movement showcasing military discipline and majesty.

"Captain, look, isn't that our Regimental Commander?"

A young Team Member in the Squad whispered, a hint of surprise and curiosity in his eyes as he looked in Li Yang's direction.

The Captain leading the Squad at the front heard the Team Member's words and instinctively looked up for a closer look.

Sure enough, among the group, that familiar figure was indeed their Regimental Commander.

He frowned slightly, quickly realizing that today was the day the new Division Commander came for inspection, and the Regimental Commander being there clearly meant he was accompanying the Division Commander.

He immediately raised his voice and said sternly.

"Today is the day the new Division Commander is here for inspection, and the Regimental Commander is there, it looks like he's accompanying the Division Commander. Pay attention, all of you, understood?"

His voice carried an unquestionable authority, leaving the Team Members no room for slack.

"Yes!"

The Team Members responded in unison, immediately straightening their backs, adjusting their pace, and focusing their gaze, ready to display their best demeanor to the Division Commander.

The patrol passed Li Yang and his group.

The Team Members of the patrol Squad were all tense, not even daring to glance over.

They knew that in such an important occasion, they had to maintain a high degree of discipline and focus.

However, the Captain couldn't help but steal a glance.

He was also full of curiosity, wanting to see what this newly appointed Division Commander looked like.

With that glance, his eyes landed on Li Yang. When he saw Li Yang, he froze in place, his feet seemingly nailed to the ground, completely stopping.

The Team Members behind him were fully focused on maintaining formation and advancing, completely unprepared for the Captain to suddenly stop.

The Team Member at the very front, due to inertia, couldn't stop his feet and stepped directly on the Captain's heel.

"Ouch!"

The Team Member couldn't help but let out a soft cry, and the entire patrol Squad's formation instantly became somewhat chaotic.

The Team Members were all a bit flustered, unsure of what to do.

A cry of surprise broke the previously somewhat serious atmosphere.

This sudden sound, like a giant stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Hearing the commotion, Li Yang and his group also quickly turned their heads.

They saw the patrol Squad in complete disarray, Team Members pushing and shoving each other, their faces filled with panic.

The originally neat and orderly team now looked like a jumbled puzzle, chaotic and disorganized.

Siraf's face instantly darkened. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes revealed anger and disappointment.

Because he recognized from the insignia on their battle armor that this Squad belonged to his 4th Regiment.

Before the inspection, he had specifically reminded everyone not to seek special performance, but just to do their job well.

He deeply understood the importance of the new Division Commander's inspection; it was not only a test of their work but also a good opportunity to showcase the team's spirit.

But he never expected that at such a crucial moment, even the most basic patrol work could go wrong, and right in front of the new Division Commander.

This was like a harsh slap in the face in front of everyone, making him feel incredibly humiliated, as if the entire 4th Regiment had lost all face.

And the Team Members of the patrol Squad were even more panicked. They were like ants on a hot pan, scurrying around anxiously.

Making a mistake in front of the Division Commander and Regimental Commander, and on such an important day, was undoubtedly a grave offense.

They could almost see their future becoming bleak, their hearts filled with fear and regret.

"Oh my god, Captain, you've really gotten us into trouble..."

The Team Members complained wildly in their hearts.

They blamed the Captain's momentary distraction for putting the entire Squad in such an awkward situation.

At this moment, a tense and oppressive atmosphere permeated the air, as if a storm was about to break.

Siraf suppressed the anger in his heart, looking at the patrol Squad with icy eyes, while Li Yang stood quietly to the side, his eyes deep, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Siraf was about to open his mouth to reprimand the patrol Squad for their dereliction of duty, anger already rising to his throat, his lips slightly parted, but just then, he saw the Captain speak first.

"Captain Li Yang?"

This address instantly silenced everyone.

Everyone was startled by the abrupt words, and the air solidified at that moment.

Especially He Dong and the two Regimental Commanders, their expressions instantly became tense, a hint of panic in their eyes.

After all, "Li Yang" was Division Commander Li's given name, and addressing the Division Commander by his given name in such a formal setting was an extremely inappropriate act.

And Li Yang, hearing this familiar address, was also momentarily stunned.

His body stiffened slightly, and a hint of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes.

After all, this was an address only his own people would know.

Seeing this, the Captain quickly opened his mask, revealing his true face.

That weathered face, those familiar eyebrows, made Li Yang's eyes light up instantly.

"Andegu, so it's you. I almost forgot, you joined the Homeland Security Force before. I didn't expect to run into you here."

Li Yang's voice was full of pleasant surprise and emotion.

He quickly walked forward and clapped Andegu firmly on the shoulder.

After all, the Homeland Security Force is enormous, with a total of 101 divisions.

Even if each division had the same structure as the 19th Division, that would still be hundreds of millions of people.

With such a massive base, the probability of meeting again in the vast sea of humanity was even lower than winning the lottery.

But fate is so strange; Andegu just happened to be in the 19th Division and appeared before Li Yang at this very moment.

Hearing Li Yang's words, everyone finally reacted as if waking from a dream. It turned out that this patrol Captain named Andegu actually knew the newly appointed Division Commander, which was truly unexpected by everyone.

For a moment, everyone's gaze focused on Andegu, their eyes full of surprise and curiosity.

"Captain Li Yang, at first when I heard the new Division Commander was also named Li Yang, I thought it was just a coincidence of names, but I didn't expect it to really be you."

Andegu excitedly stepped forward, his face beaming with unconcealed excitement and joy.

After all, who would have thought that the former Inspector would now transform into a Division Commander? The leap in identity was simply too great.

"Haha, I also didn't expect to meet you here. By the way, how are things going for you here?"

Li Yang smiled and patted Andegu's shoulder, his eyes full of concern.

Andegu was also one of the first subordinates he brought out from Blue Star, but later, Andegu, for personal reasons, resolutely chose to venture out on his own to pursue his own path of development.
