"From the description, it seems to be with Xie Tan and the other three." Vincennes said weakly.

"It's them." Washington's expression suddenly became strange. The three Xie Tan brothers were not unknown people on Lan Island. It would be better to say that they had quite a reputation.

The front line is the front line after all. Even Lan Island, which serves as a rear base, is often dangerous.

Generally, the commanders who come to this place are those with large and powerful port areas.

But the three Xie Tan brothers are exactly different. They graduated from the academy less than two years ago, but they came here together because they heard that there were many powerful free ship girls on the front line.

There are many commanders who like to salvage ships, but not many can do it to the extent of the three brothers Xie Tan.

Major General Huang Chen had just arrived at Lan Island and he followed the three Xie Tan brothers?

Washington touched his chin and sighed, "It's true. No wonder he became a major general at such a young age."

She nodded and was about to leave when she suddenly felt someone pulling her from behind.

Looking back, she saw Seattle looking at her strangely. Although his words were calm, any normal person could hear the turmoil beneath his calm exterior. "Minister, this Major General Huang Chen..."

"Yes, he is the guest I want to invite this time." Washington nodded.

But after the words fell, Seattle's expression became more and more strange, and his eyes suddenly brightened, "Huang Chen..."

……

"Reno? What are you doing?"

Suspicious words were heard from behind the sofa, with confusion in the calmness.

Huang Chen tried to stand up to see who suddenly appeared, but found that Reno was riding on his stomach and he couldn't even raise his head.

He tried to reach out and pat the girl on the back, but she ignored him.

Reno raised her head, but she seemed to be too excited, causing her thinking to slow down. After a long pause, she slowly said, "San Juan..."

Little Santiago, standing by, was much calmer than her. He immediately raised his hand and said, almost jumping the gun, "Rino is playing a game with the Commander!"

"Playing games?" San Juan put down what he was carrying, walked forward with a nagging tone, and continued, "Even if you're playing games, you can't do this. If you sit on the sofa, it will easily wrinkle it, and it's very difficult to clean..."

As she was talking, she was suddenly stunned. She stood beside the sofa and tilted her head in confusion. "By the way, who are you playing games with?"

"With the Commander! Didn't sister tell me, it's with the Commander!" Little Santiago immediately raised his hand and said loudly.

San Juan narrowed his eyes, walked over until his sight slowly fell on Reno, his gaze calm, "Commander?"

"It's me." Huang Chen tried to get up, but failed again. He could only wave his hand and smiled, "I'm back, San Juan."

The latter was stunned for a moment, then reacted, his face turned red, and he looked up and down at Reno and Huang Chen, saying, "What kind of game are they playing..."

Chapter 980 Find the Commander First

Jingle Bell.

The crisp ring of the doorbell is still so pleasant.

Seattle stood nervously on the path, while Captain Washington explained, "This is it. But then again, I haven't seen you this nervous in a long time."

"Just thinking about some things in the past." Seattle smiled.

Although she felt that this should be her commander the moment she heard the name Huang Chen, she still felt uneasy until she saw him or his companions in person.

After all, that was the commander who had disappeared for so long, how could he suddenly appear?

She tidied the hair by her ears and glanced at the door not far away, complaining in her heart why no one came to open the door for so long.

"Could he have left?"

She suddenly said nervously.

Vincennes immediately explained, "It shouldn't be that fast. When I came here before, I saw them packing their luggage..."

"Yeah." Seattle nodded, but suddenly saw a small crack in the door out of the corner of his eye, and then a blue-haired girl looked out.

At that moment, she felt her heart suddenly skip a beat.

New Jersey, that's New Jersey!

A smile and joy appeared on Seattle's face, and the heavy burden in his heart suddenly fell to the ground.

New Jersey also looked at the people outside the door, frowned after looking at Vincennes and Washington, and explained, "Didn't I tell you that Honey is out, and we don't know where he is now."

Before she could finish her words, she caught sight of the excited girl with short gray hair. She was stunned for a moment, then blinked in confusion, as if she couldn't believe what she saw and said, "Seattle?"

"It's me!" Seattle's eyes shone brightly, and his short silver-gray hair seemed to be dancing and flying up.

She quickly ran in front of New Jersey and asked excitedly, "Since you are here, the commander must be our commander as well!"

"Of course!" New Jersey laughed.

"I knew it!" Seattle pumped his fist.

New Jersey, however, asked in confusion, "But, by the way, why are you here? Are you alone?"

"Of course not, I live with my seniors from Atlanta!" Seattle said excitedly. If she hadn't been concerned about her image, she would have started running in circles, right?

But even so, she was still quite excited and kept circling around New Jersey.

"Atlanta and the others are here!" New Jersey's eyes lit up. He looked at Washington and Vincennes who were a little dazed at the back and waved his hand. "Everyone, come in and talk."

Seattle immediately ran in excitedly. Washington was a little hesitant, and Vincennes asked doubtfully, "Minister, aren't we here to see Major General Huang Chen?"

"It's okay. The host of the banquet is here anyway. We can start whenever we find him." Washington said casually, and then walked quickly into the room.

A surprised voice came from the living room. Shentong and Kawauchi were both stunned when they saw Seattle, and were surprised when they heard her say that Atlanta and others were also on Lan Island.

Seattle, on the other hand, reunited with his former companions with a smile on his face.

Even if they are companions from Sakura Empire, it doesn’t matter. We are all companions in the port area first, and then we have relationships in camps and the like!

The girl opened her arms and hugged everyone. Finally, as if remembering something, she sat on the sofa and asked, "By the way, the commander..."

"Didn't I just say that we followed those commanders out?" New Jersey explained.

"Oh yes, follow Xie Tan and the others out." Seattle nodded, but suddenly frowned, seeming a little conflicted.

Shentong asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Everyone hurry up and get dressed and prepare for the party. I'll go get the commander!" Seattle immediately stood up and said.

Although I was a little conflicted about whether I should tell the Atlanta seniors about this news first.

But after just a brief thought, she decided to go find the commander first, after all, he was the commander!

and--

"Since you followed Xie Tan and the others, we can basically be sure of where the commander is now!" Seattle blinked and said playfully.

As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and walked outside, but was pulled back by New Jersey, who said helplessly, "Don't worry, wait a moment, we'll go with you."

Shentong also laughed and said, "The luggage and other things are almost packed. As for the banquet, since you are hosting it in Seattle, there should be no need for everyone to wear evening gowns, right?"

"Of course." Seattle said with a smile, leaning back on the sofa, thinking about how to greet the commander when he saw him later.

Should I just go for a hug or be a little more subtle?

Actually, it’s not that important. There will be a dinner party later anyway. By the way, we have to invite Senior Atlan and the others to join us for the dinner party.

Various thoughts emerged in the girl's mind, with a faint smile on her lips, and suddenly two not-so-harmonious figures appeared in her peripheral vision.

Washington and Vincennes.

Yeah, it seems like this dinner party isn't just for the Commander, but also for everyone in the harbor...

Seattle frowned, but quickly relaxed. It didn't matter. He just had to pretend they didn't exist for a while.

Washington sat on the sofa on the other side, watching everyone busying around, and felt something was wrong.

Why do I feel like... I'm a little redundant?

……

At the coffee table, Huang Chen held a teacup in his hand and looked helplessly at San Juan who hurriedly brought snacks and drinks. "That's enough, that's enough. Your commander is not a glutton. He won't eat so much in one go."

"But..." San Juan was still holding a fruit plate in his hand. After hesitating for a moment, he put it on the coffee table and then sat down on the sofa next to him.

Lino sat aside with a red face, looking at his palms from time to time and asking, "Why did San Juan come back so early today?"

"It's getting late, and it's almost time for dinner..." San Juan shook his head, his eyes swept across the coffee table, and suddenly stood up and said, "Or I can go prepare some more cookies. I remember Xiaosheng's place..."

"Alright, alright, enough is enough, really enough." Huang Chen shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Before little Santiago could lose his temper, he quickly pressed San Juan and asked, "Let's chat first. Atlanta and Juno probably haven't returned yet, right?"

Chapter 981 Small talk

L-shaped sofa.

Huang Chen sat in the middle of the strip, Reno sat on the left, and San Juan sat on the right.

As for little Santiago, he was lying on the coffee table and eating the snacks on it.

"Right now...it's probably just that Atlanta and Juno haven't returned yet."

Huang Chen looked around and then asked.

San Juan nodded, then shook his head and said, "Atlanta and Juneau haven't come back yet, and Seattle hasn't come back yet, but Seattle shouldn't come back today, right?"

As she spoke, she looked at Reno, who was stunned for a moment, then reacted, pursed his lips and asked, "What?"

"Seattle, she's not coming home for dinner tonight."

"Ah, no, she said that Secretary Washington asked her to prepare a dinner tonight." Reno nodded and then looked at the palm of his hand inexplicably.

It was this hand that touched the commander's cheek just now. I won't wash this hand from now on.

"A dinner party? That Washington is so good at entertaining?" Huang Chen was a little surprised. From the outside, Washington seemed more like the impetuous and casual type, but he would hold a private party? It felt a little out of place.

"It's mainly about entertaining guests. Does the commander know the minister?" San Juan said with some surprise. He glanced at the coffee table again and frowned. Sure enough, there weren't enough cookies. Little Santiago had eaten them all by himself.

"We just met once, barely an acquaintance." Huang Chen thought about it and suddenly felt a little strange. He asked, "Entertaining guests, does Washington have other guests today?"

He felt that he had arrived at Lan Island quite late. Shouldn't there be other guests arriving after him? Or perhaps they had arrived before him?

"I don't know. I only know that he is a distinguished guest. But none of this matters. To us, the commander is the distinguished guest." San Juan smiled, his eyes curved like crescent moons.

"Well, distinguished guest~." Huang Chen deliberately dragged out the last word.

San Juan immediately understood what he meant, his face flushed, and he hurriedly explained, "No, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that the commander's sudden return is a bit surprising..."

"I know, I know. It was just a joke." Huang Chen waved his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "In that case, when Atlanta and Juno come back, let's go to my place for dinner together."

"Commander...over there?" San Juan tilted his head, a little confused, and Reno looked at Huang Chen in confusion.

The latter smiled and explained, "I can't possibly come to the front line alone, right? This time I came with New Jersey and Kawauchi, mainly to cooperate with some experiment."

"Oh, so that's how it is." San Juan nodded. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little disappointed.

I thought the commander would live on Lan Island for a while.

Reno realized something, "Commander, have you found many companions?"

"It's... a lot, I guess. We've rebuilt the port area at the junction of C3 and C1." Huang Chen explained briefly, "We'll discuss the details when Atlanta and the others arrive."

He smiled, his eyes suddenly caught sight of little Santiago lying on the coffee table eating snacks, and said, "Including Santiago, he is now in the port area."

"What?" San Juan's mouth suddenly opened wide. He stepped forward in shock and tugged at the corner of Huang Chen's clothes. "Commander, Commander, what did you just say?"

"Santiago, she is in the port area now..." Huang Chen pursed his lips, looked at the excited girl in front of him, reached out and patted her shoulder and explained.

The latter seemed to realize his own excitement and withdrew his hand awkwardly, saying, "Sorry, Commander, it's really Santiago..."

She blinked, but her eyes were a little moist, as if she was thinking of something sad.

Huang Chen knew without asking that Santiago had probably gotten separated from everyone else. He knew this from when he saw Santiago following Lexington alone.

He didn't ask any more questions, but just patted the girl's head and comforted her softly, "It's okay. When I found Santiago, she was with Lexington and was actually living quite well."

However, even if he wasn't with Lexington, with Santiago's cheerful personality, he would still be happy, right?

perhaps.

"I know." San Juan nodded and sat back on the sofa.

Little Santiago leaned on the coffee table and looked very confused. "Isn't Santiago here? He's not with Lexington."

Huang Chen smiled slightly, picked up a biscuit and stuffed it into the little guy's mouth. The latter immediately laughed happily and forgot what he wanted to say just now.
