Special Forces: At the beginning, An Ran pulled him to get his certificate.

Chapter 1381 Parents I haven't seen for many years

Whoosh… The helicopter slowly descended, the air currents from the propellers swirling across the apron. Chen Jun walked steadily down from the helicopter, his posture erect.

"Chief, where are you going?" Xu Zhengyang drove the car steadily over. After Chen Jun got in the car, he turned around and asked with concern.

"Let's go home first. My parents just happened to be living in my neighborhood," Chen Jun said, his eyes revealing a hint of anticipation and warmth. It's worth noting that Chen Jun's parents have always lived in Donghai City and rarely visit the family housing complex at the hacker base. His eldest son lives with them, and this time, An Ran's parents are also home.

Xu Zhengyang nodded and said, "Okay, let's do this. I'll drive to the mall first. Chief, you haven't been home for so long, you must buy some gifts to bring home. Children like this. Otherwise, they won't be close to you!"

"Is that even true? Well, let's go buy some toys at the mall first," Chen Jun said with a smile. As a tough soldier, he couldn't compare to Xu Zhengyang, a single man, when it came to dealing with children. But Xu Zhengyang was different. He knew his responsibilities well, and needed to consider many of the smallest details of his leader's life.

"Let's go and have a good reunion with our family this time." Chen Jun leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes slightly, as if he had begun to look forward to the warm scene of reuniting with his family.

After exiting the mall, Chen Jun was laden with gifts of all sizes. Standing at the entrance to the residential complex, he said to Xu Zhengyang, "Go to the military academy and call out Fan Tianlei, who's still attending. Tell him I need help." Fan Tianlei, He Chenguang, and others were still attending, working diligently to build a path for their own dreams and Chen Jun's dream of becoming a general.

"Okay, Commander!" Xu Zhengyang didn't ask any further questions and drove away. This place was hundreds of miles away from the University of Science and Technology of China, and he could tell the Commander wasn't in a hurry to get Fan Tianlei over right away. If Fan Tianlei were to be brought over right away, Chen Jun wouldn't have time to properly reunite with his family. So, Xu Zhengyang played it safe and decided to postpone the pick-up for a few days.

On Chen Jun's side, not long after entering the complex, Wang Dalei, the security captain he had helped, immediately and enthusiastically ran over to help with his luggage. If it weren't for Chen Jun's initial help, Wang Dalei would probably still be just an ordinary security guard. But thanks to Chen Jun's words, Wang Dalei is now a celebrity within the property management company, having been promoted to security captain, with a bright future ahead of him. Wang Dalei has always remembered this favor and often personally patrols outside Chen Jun's home to ensure the safety of his wife and children.

"Chief, it's rare for you to come back!" Wang Dalei said as he took all the things from Chen Jun's hands. He had a tough attitude and refused to let Chen Jun carry even a little thing by himself.

On the way, Wang Dalei excitedly told Chen Jun that his parents had come and that he had found a girlfriend. He said with emotion that all this happy life was due to Chen Jun's help.

"You are also a soldier of the Iron Fist Regiment, and so am I. We are comrades-in-arms. It's no big deal for me to help you with a small favor. Besides, as long as you do your job conscientiously, this is also reasonable." Chen Jun said with a smile, his words were kind and encouraging.

"Commander, I will work diligently and live up to your expectations." Wang Dalei's eyes sparkled with tears of gratitude. He recalled how after retiring, he'd tried several unsatisfactory jobs, and his former partner, disdaining his poverty, had married his former rival. Chen Jun's seemingly unassuming help had restored his dignity. Now, his former partner saw him driving home and, upon inquiry, discovered he'd moved into a luxury home. She wept with regret.

"Son, I finally see you." Chen Jun had just entered the house when his mother, Wan Qian, was already waiting at the door. Seeing her son, darker and thinner than she had been seeing for years, Wan Qian burst into tears and hugged him tightly, laughing and crying, overwhelmed with emotion.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back! I thought you died on the battlefield. I haven't heard from you in ages..." Chen Jun's father, Chen Shan, muttered to himself, his eyes welling up. They had sent their son to the army hoping he would change for the better, but just as his rookie period ended, they received word from Company Commander You Junda that their son was missing. They had initially believed their son wouldn't have time to marry his fiancée, nor would he inherit his tens of billions in assets... Fortunately, they later learned that he had actually found An Ran, the woman they'd arranged to marry since childhood, on the battlefield. It was nothing short of a miracle.

Over the years, they hadn't heard from their son, nor had they received any honorary certificates. Privately, they had already prepared themselves mentally for the possibility that Chen Jun had died. After all, every time they came to visit, Chen Jun was not there. Although An Ran reassured them, as parents, how could they truly rest assured?

Chen Jun held his mother in his arms and slowly walked around in the yard, feeling the long-lost family affection.

An Ran was holding her two sons, watching the scene with a happy and silly smile. Dabao was already over two years old, and Xiaobao was only half a year old. The two little guys looked at their father who suddenly appeared with curiosity, with a look of unfamiliarity on their faces.

"This is Daddy, call him Daddy," An Ran said, smiling as she guided the child. She watched with amusement, feeling Chen Jun's joy. In fact, when Chen Jun was away, she had been comforting the elderly on both sides of the family. Only she understood the worry and fear they were feeling.

"Wife, I'm back." After letting go of his excited mother, Chen Jun walked to Anran and gently took his two sons.

Suddenly, the two sons looked at this so-called dad who suddenly appeared in surprise. Dabao was panicked, but Xiaobao was fine, reaching out his little hand to grab Chen Jun's hair.

"Haha, I haven't been back for too long. You two bastards treat me as your enemy." Chen Jun teased with a smile.

"Children are always on guard when they see strangers. It's your fault that you rarely come back." An Ran said pretending to gloat.

The next moment, Chen Jun held An Ran and the child in his arms and said affectionately, "You have worked hard, my dear wife." He looked down at An Ran's slightly haggard face and knew in his heart that the pressure she had borne over the years was no less than his.

"Why is it hard for me? I like taking care of children." An Ran's face was full of happy smiles. Usually, few people saw her smile so brightly. Only when Chen Jun was around, she would completely relax, as if all the pressure had disappeared.

"Jun'er, go in. There are a lot of people outside watching you." Mom Wan Qian shouted with a smile at the door.

Indeed, many people in the community knew Chen Jun's identity. Of course, they had all signed confidentiality agreements and would never reveal Chen Jun's identity. But everyone was curious about this mysterious leader. It was rare for them to see him, so naturally they all watched from the sidelines.

At the door, Wang Dalei, the security captain, was like a loyal military dog, carefully guarding the area. If anyone approached, he would immediately rush forward to drive them away.

"You rarely bring gifts home, but you brought so many things this time?" An Ran was slightly surprised when she saw the gifts Chen Jun was carrying.

"You haven't been back for so long, so you have to bring gifts. I heard that gifts are necessary to help children get familiar with each other. However, you and your parents should all have gifts." Chen Jun said as he distributed the gifts to everyone on the spot.

Of course, Chen Jun's parents had no shortage of gifts, but this was a gift from their son, so it naturally had a different meaning. They accepted the gift as if they had received an inestimable treasure, their faces filled with happy smiles.

"This time it's supplements, this is a beauty card, I've topped it up for three years... This one is a million-dollar shopping card." Chen Jun introduced the gifts while distributing them.

……

At noon, the family had a warm lunch at home. Chen Jun's mother Wan Qian personally cooked and carefully prepared a table of sumptuous dishes to entertain her son who had not returned home for a long time.

In the living room, Chen Jun was pleasantly surprised to find that after he opened the gifts for his two sons, the two little guys no longer seemed so strange, but became quite close. Dabao excitedly played with his toys beside him, asking questions non-stop, while Xiaobao squirmed in his arms like a rice bug, clinging to his hat and playing with it.

"Haha, my little grandson is interested in your military cap. In my opinion, he wants to be a soldier when he grows up." Chen Shan said with a smile.

"It's good to be a soldier. Look at my son, he has become a general. There is no reason for my grandson to be worse than my son in the future, right?" Wan Qian echoed with a smile.

Chen Shan then said with a smile: "Maybe he can become a commander."

Chen Jun, enjoying this rare family moment, smiled cheerfully beside them. Looking at his sons' adorable faces, he felt deeply the bond of life, a feeling he couldn't normally experience on the battlefield. At that moment, the pressure and emotions he'd suppressed for so long seemed to be relieved in this warm atmosphere.

three days later.

Xu Zhengyang finally brought Old Fan from the University of Science and Technology of China. The journey of over a hundred miles took him three full days...
