The jeep, which had already driven off, was now parked by the side of the road.
The hood was open, and two soldiers stood beside it, poking around and tinkering. It seemed the jeep had broken down.
The two soldiers probably heard the commotion behind them, and one of them turned to look.
"The soldier's car is broken!"
"Don't call them 'soldier,' call them 'comrade'!"
"Right! They're not like those Blue Army guys!"
…
The refugees were chattering among themselves.
Soon, they were getting closer and closer.
The soldiers and the refugees greeted each other warmly.
It really was a breakdown.
Just then, the door of the jeep suddenly swung open, and a dashing female soldier stepped out.
Lu De Min and the refugees' eyes lit up instantly.
The female soldier looked no older than thirty, with delicate features and a beautiful face. The military uniform hugged her body tightly, accentuating her lovely figure and long legs. Her whole physique was absolutely captivating.
Lu De Min had seen all sorts of beauties in his later life, but this female soldier easily surpassed them all. Her charm, her aura, it was something else.
She was the "Director Qu" the male soldiers had mentioned, their leader. She hadn't planned on getting out of the jeep, but it was too stuffy inside. She had no choice.
"Director Qu!"
"Can you fix it?"
"I doubt it!"
"Looks like we'll have to leave the car here and walk back to the city!"
Lu De Min, who had eaten sweet potato strips they had given him and felt grateful, also knew how to repair cars. Hearing their conversation, he stepped forward and offered to try his hand at fixing it.
Director Qu and the male soldiers were surprised to hear that a refugee could fix cars. They turned to look at him.
When Director Qu saw that it was a tall, handsome youth, about seventeen or eighteen years old, her eyes flashed with an unusual light. In the midst of the refugees entering the capital, there was such a handsome boy, and he also knew how to repair cars? Something was off!
Lu De Min noticed the soldiers' reactions and knew he had aroused their suspicion. After all, it was still under martial law, and many secret agents were still lurking around. It was understandable for them to suspect him.
However, Lu De Min remained calm. He had his ID in his pocket, which could prove his identity.
Director Qu said calmly, "Comrade, what is your name?"
Lu De Min answered confidently, "My surname is Lu, De as in 'virtue,' Min as in 'people,' Lu De Min."
Director Qu: "Good name! Since you know how to fix cars, please give it a try!"
Lu De Min: "Okay!"
He finished speaking and stepped forward.
He started examining the car.

…
Wow! This is actually working!
Lu De Min was overjoyed.
Five minutes quickly passed, and Lu De Min was still concentrating on tinkering with the car.
He didn't say a word the whole time.
Director Qu saw that Lu De Min wasn't fazed by being surrounded by so many people. He was so focused, radiating a strange masculine charm that made her admire him, but also made her more suspicious. How could an ordinary citizen, so young, know how to repair cars?
I hope he's not a secret agent!
Thinking this, Director Qu gave Xiao Lao a signal, and he subtly moved closer, touching the gun in his hand.

A few more minutes passed.
Suddenly, Lu De Min raised his head, smiled slightly, and said, "It's done! I fixed it!"
Director Qu and the two male soldiers were surprised to hear that Lu De Min had fixed the car. They were all delighted.
Xiao Chen signaled to Xiao Lao to keep an eye on Lu De Min, while he went to test drive the car. It really was fixed.
The refugees present, seeing their fellow refugee fix the car for the soldiers, felt proud and honored. They all applauded.
"Comrade Lu De Min, thank you so much for fixing our car! You're better at car repair than most of the soldiers in our unit. How did you learn? Can you tell us?"
Xiao Chen walked forward and asked.
Meanwhile, following Director Qu's instructions, Xiao Lao, with his hand on his gun, unintentionally blocked Lu De Min's escape route.
Director Qu also retreated to the back.
Lu De Min immediately understood the situation. He didn't get angry, though. In this era, this kind of thing was common and normal.
