Although he has an annoying father at home, at least his nephews and nieces are very cute. Moreover, Nie Zhao keenly noticed that his Miss Chen was gradually and subtly infiltrating and taking control of his family.

That kind of dominance is completely different from Mei Lu's suffocating control. Instead, it's a positive kind of dominance that brings cohesion to the family members. In other words, she is the true patriarch of the Nie family.

After finishing his tea, Nie Jiayu called Nie Jiajun, boasting about how delicious the tea and snacks his wife had brought from the mainland were, and since summer vacation was approaching, he also told him to come back soon.

Nie Ronggang had just returned from a trip to the mainland, and everyone was overjoyed. Nie Jiayu was itching to go too, so he wanted to invite Nie Jiajun along, so the two brothers could go together.

As for Mr. Nie, he was satisfied with everything, except for his child.

Yes, despite his busy schedule, he never forgot the most important thing: a high-IQ baby.

Of course, Gui Tou Chang's equipment has been upgraded again, so he can only hope for it. He doesn't dare to mention that matter to his wife for the time being, but gradually, he showed his wife the decoration of their new house on the mountaintop that night.

The adorable nursery is being carefully prepared, just waiting for the little baby to move in.

By the way, Chen Rou was in her ovulation period that night, so she was very sexually aroused and they made love twice. Boss Nie had also been on a trip to the mainland and was very tired, so he forgot to mention the Philippines.

He went to work early the next day without saying a word.

The next morning, Chen Rou received a call from Li Xia, who sounded exceptionally happy. She said, "Chen Rou, I have something to tell you. It's not exactly good news, but I have to go back to the mainland."

She's been here for a few months now, but it's not even summer vacation yet, so why is she going back already?

Because Li Gang was blown to smithereens by her, Chen Rou almost blurted out that she was going to attend a funeral.

Fortunately, she didn't ask. Obviously, Li Xia didn't know that Li Gang was dead either. But she smiled and said, "Your cousin is finally on vacation again. Although it's only for a week, we haven't seen each other for a year and a half. I have to go see him."

As a married couple, having not seen each other for a full year and a half, or 500 days, it is indeed appropriate for them to take leave and go back.

But Chen Rou felt something was off: "He's resting, right now?"

Chen Ke was carrying out an international anti-banditry mission, which had mission targets within the CIPO organization. The mission in the Philippines was already considered to be beyond the expected timeframe. It was only because they performed well that the ICPO did not hold them accountable.

But if Chen Ke takes leave before the mission is completed, will he still receive orders to return to the team?

Chen Rou assumed it was a regular vacation and said, "He's transiting through Hong Kong, so let's get together properly then."

She's never sat down with her parents and their two families before, and the thought of it makes her excited.

But Li Xia said, "No, no, he's taking a boat directly to Shenzhen. I have to cross the border to see him."

Chen Rou understood; Chen Ke wanted to take a private vacation.

This raises the question of who will take his place and who will do the tasks after he leaves.

Yue Zhongqi is still too young and impulsive. What if he doesn't lead the team well, makes a mess, or sacrifices his subordinates?

Having served as a special police officer herself, she quickly realized the third possibility.

Li Xia was in a hurry to leave, so she told him to be careful on the road and hung up the phone. Then, since Nie Zhao hadn't told her beforehand, she assumed he didn't know either, so she simply called Wade directly and got straight to the point: "Mr. Wade, could you please call Captain Yue and ask them if they're planning a major counterattack?"

In her experience, if it's not normal rest, but during international missions, if there's a particularly severe and brutal task, the military will gather all the married people together and organize them for a rotating leave so they can go home to see their wives and children. After that, if there's a dangerous mission, they'll be the first to go.

So even though Nie Zhao didn't say it, Chen Rou had already guessed it.

Sure enough, Wade said, "Gui Tou Chang has upgraded his equipment and brought in a large group of mercenaries from Southeast Asia. The team is very strong right now, but the ICPO has issued an ultimatum, demanding that the South China Sea side complete the anti-bandit mission in the first half of this year. So they are preparing to confront Gui Tou Chang head-on and wipe out his gang in one fell swoop."

In fact, the bandits in the Philippines cannot be eradicated in a year or two.

To put it bluntly, it would take three years of solid work to wipe out a new generation of pirates. And just like a stubborn skin disease, if you leave it unchecked, the pirates will be rampant again in a few years.

But it is estimated that the United States put pressure on CIPO, and they wanted to end the anti-banditry operation as soon as possible.

There's no way to fight city hall, and given the circumstances, it seems Chen Rou has to start preparing as well.

When Meng Zhazha heard that Chen Ke had returned to the mainland, she was quite impulsive and wondered if she should go to the mainland directly to see him.

But when she opened the closet to pack her luggage, she found several boxes of small umbrellas. The moment she picked up the umbrellas, she calmed down. Her parents rarely saw each other and probably just wanted some alone time. If she went, wouldn't she become a third wheel disturbing their lives? Thinking of this, Chen Rou gave up the idea.

Well then, for now, she should focus on her physical training and cultivate a good relationship with those two old men in Kowloon. When the ICPO raids Ghost Head Chang, she can let them show off their skills and earn some credit. This way, Chen Rou can clear their names and help them get medals in the future.

Although she always knew that the two old men could be spoiled, even Chen Rou never expected that the two old men's competition in doing charity work could cause conflict. Moreover, because of her continuous combination of kindness and severity, giving a stick and then a candy, the two groups had not fought for a long time. But because of doing charity work, the two old men actually started fighting again, and it even escalated into a fight.

It was Huo Qi, or Huo Sir, who told Chen Rou about it.

Well, Chen Rou didn't have any other work these past few days, and coincidentally, the newly established electronics company of the Nie family was conducting program testing on new mobile phones and computers. Since she came from the future, although she didn't understand the technology, she knew how to use it. So she followed Nie Zhao to the electronics company to watch the programmers operate the computers.

Just as I was looking at it, Huo Qi called and got straight to the point: "Miss Chen, you must come to Kowloon immediately."

He then added, "A major battle is about to break out, and no one else could have handled it without you."

Although she didn't know what had happened, Chen Rou gave Nie Zhao a hand signal and went out, heading straight for Kowloon!
