With Commander Lu's words, the exercise and testing work can be considered a complete success.

Until the exercise ends.

Mingzhao is still standing here, although there's nothing for them to do right now.

Next, the winning side will be recognized.

Su Xuan frequently glanced at Ming Zhao.

Mingzhao didn't care about Su Xuan's little scheme.

He simply watched the audience calmly.

The soldiers participating in this exercise were lined up in neat square formations.

From a distance, their height, build, and posture were remarkably uniform.

Just by looking at them, it's impossible to tell who Howard is.

But Mingzhao still watched very carefully.

"Comrade Mingzhao."

Director Wang walked over.

"I heard your husband is Commander Huo?"

Mingzhao nodded.

Director Wang smiled and said, "Commander Huo is young and promising. Comrade Mingzhao is very fortunate."

Thinking of the communicator over there, Director Wang praised Mingzhao again.

"Of course, Comrade Howard is also very fortunate."

Mingzhao smiled softly.

Su Xuan, standing to the side, saw this smile and immediately felt as if he had seen a ghost.

It seems that ever since he met Mingzhao, Mingzhao has always maintained that calm demeanor.

Now, she actually laughed just because someone mentioned her husband.

Su Xuan lowered his head, a strange bitterness rising in his heart.

“It’s because of my poor status that I’ve dragged him down.”

Upon hearing Mingzhao say this, Director Wang looked puzzled.

Mingzhao pointed to Zhao Gang and Liu Mei, who had been following her not far away.

Director Wang seemed to understand but not quite, "What is this?"

"This is someone sent by the organization to protect Comrade Mingzhao." Zhang Mingyuan walked over and hurriedly interrupted Mingzhao's conversation with Director Wang.

Mingzhao glanced at Zhang Mingyuan but didn't say anything more.

Director Wang then walked away.

Zhang Mingyuan then turned around and spoke to Mingzhao.

"You can't tell anyone about this. Things are tense right now, and it's hard to tell which side is on which side. Once your situation is exposed, I won't be able to protect you."

Mingzhao remained silent.

Zhang Mingyuan sighed.

"It's not that I don't want you two to see each other. Commander Huo has recently made another great contribution."

"If your situation affects his future, think about it... is it worth it?"

Zhang Mingyuan sighed as he watched Mingzhao and Su Xuan leave.

Huang Weiguo and Liu Hongmei have done a lot of harm.

A perfectly good scientific researcher was unfairly labeled as a spy.

Once you put on this label, it's hard to get rid of it.

After all, at this sensitive time, no one can guarantee that she is definitely safe.

If there's a problem, even the whole family couldn't pay enough to cover the losses.

Zhang Mingyuan did not go back with Mingzhao and the others, but stayed behind to wait quietly.

He knew Howard would come looking for him.

As expected, after the commendation and summary meeting for the exercise...

Howard and Minglang then came looking for them.

"Dean Zhang..."

Zhang Mingyuan raised his hand.

"Commander Huo, Deputy Commander Ming."

"Where's Mingzhao? I just heard her voice."

"Commander Huo, it was indeed Mingzhao just now."

"She has already left."

Why doesn't Zhao Zhao stay to see us?

"I'm so anxious," Minglang said.

Zhang Mingyuan glanced at him indifferently. He fully understood the feelings of the two people in front of him, after all, one was his wife and the other was his sister.

"Mingzhao is not in a good position to see you right now."

"Why can't I see her? She's my sister, my own sister!"

Minglang was unconvinced and shouted loudly.

"Just because she's not doing her job properly now that she's in that position."

"Hasn't it already been explained? Mingzhao, she was clearly wronged. She didn't participate in any espionage activities at all."

Zhang Mingyuan shook his head.

"You're thinking too simplistically. Go back and ask your grandfather if he still dares to protect Mingzhao?"

Provoked, Minglang rushed forward and tried to grab Zhang Mingyuan by the collar.

"What do you mean?"

Howard stopped Minglang's hand. "No matter what, I am her husband, and I think I should be able to see Mingzhao."

"This is also what I wanted to say to you. Mingzhao's current status... I suggest you divorce Mingzhao first."

"I will not get a divorce," Howard firmly rejected Zhang Mingyuan's suggestion.

Zhang Mingyuan shook his head.

He had already given his advice and let it go, but Zhang Mingyuan wasn't optimistic about the future of these two people.

After Minglang and Howard left.

Zhang Mingyuan scratched his head and squatted on the ground, sighing.

"I can't persuade them."

Director Wang also came over and squatted down next to Zhang Mingyuan.

"How am I supposed to explain this to you?"

"One of them is a military regiment commander, and the other is a scientific researcher who has made significant contributions to the country. What should I say to them?"

Director Wang did not offer any words of comfort to Zhang Mingyuan.

He knew this was a dead end.

But the country needs them, and there's nothing we can do about it.

"I heard that Commander Huo's mother recently came to the military region."

After saying this, Director Wang left.

Zhang Mingyuan was left standing there, spitting at his retreating back: "Old beast..."

Minglang followed Howard, but the more they followed, the more resentful he became.

"I need to make a call when I have time and ask what exactly is going on."

Howard glanced at Minglang but didn't say anything.

I was thinking that I should contact him when he got back.

The two parted ways; Minglang went back to his dormitory, while Howard walked home alone to his family compound.
