The gist of Deputy Zhang’s message was that after Lord Jue and the others left, the headquarters of the imperial capital’s Gong group sent an urgent telegram ordering the remaining engineers to leave the Hanbei Ridge and return to the imperial capital immediately.
The orders had to be obeyed, so deputy Zhang could only lead the engineers. They did not even clean up the scene properly, nor did they treat the injured thoroughly. They carried them on their shoulders and left the Hanbei Ridge with great fanfare, returning to the imperial capital.
In order to prevent Gong Jue from being worried when he returned, he had specially left a message saying that the higher-ups had only ordered them to retreat. There were no other instructions, so it should not be a bad thing.
They would meet again in the imperial capital in the future!
After Gong Jue heard the message, his lips pursed coldly. “Deputy Zhang, you are too naive!”
