Chapter 534 The Scent of My Lover

“I have sensed your attitude. Although Myanmar is a small country, it has its own backbone and will not be bullied to this extent! I will definitely convey this matter to His Excellency the President in its entirety! Mayor Wang, there is no need to see me off!”

After saying this, the Myanmar ambassador turned around angrily, led everyone down the steps, got into the car, and took the supplies with him.

"He sensed it? What the hell did he sense?" Mayor Wang muttered under his breath, then turned and summoned his assistant. "Report this to higher authorities immediately and let them figure out a solution. I'm truly powerless to do anything about it."

After saying that, he led his team back into the building without looking back.

Inside the building, at the corner, Wen Ni, Leng Feng, and Long Ren stood and witnessed the entire communication process.

"Boss, just as you thought, those barbarians from Myanmar won't listen to our explanations or accept our solutions. Even if we catch the real culprit, they won't admit it." Long Ren leaned against the stair railing with his arms crossed.

Leng Feng shook his head and snorted, "Of course we can't admit it. In my opinion, they clearly came prepared. They traveled all this way just to deliver themselves to their deaths and conveniently pin the blame on us!"

“You’re all right. Now everything depends on diplomatic efforts and how things are decided.” Barron walked slowly up the stairs. “But overall, the chances aren’t great, since the other side doesn’t seem friendly!”

"Whatever the outcome," Long Ren said grimly, a flicker of fire in his eyes, "anyone with any ulterior motive who dares to invade China must first get past us!"

“That’s right!” Leng Feng nodded emphatically. “No matter what kind of monsters or demons they are, load them all into cannonballs and send them all the way back to their hometowns!”

"War is nothing to us, after all, we've been willing to risk our lives from the very beginning," Wen Ni, who had been silent all along, said calmly. "But how many people in both countries are truly willing to go to war?"

Whether they win or lose, for those in power, it's just a game that can be restarted repeatedly.

But for ordinary people, it meant countless hardships, displacement, misery, and even family separation! Those were wounds that could never be healed in a lifetime…

“Whether you like it or not, it seems that your return to the team, boss, may have to be brought forward.” Long Ren said, taking out a constantly vibrating communicator from his pocket. The communication code flashing on the screen belonged to Captain Lu Zhenbang.

The communicator was handed to Wen Ni.

"Dragon Blade?"

"Captain Lu, this is Qian Sha."

"You two are together? Perfect timing, I need to talk to you." The voice of Captain Lu was deep and serious on the communicator. "Information obtained by the National Security Agency indicates that Myanmar and Myanmar recently reached a secret cooperation agreement that threatens our country's economy and even national security. This assassination attempt on the princess may be the trigger for their plot to drag China into this!"

"That's what we suspected too," Wen Ni said. But none of them wanted to believe it was true.

"The higher command now requires all vanguard units to maintain a level one response and be ready to be deployed at any time! War is imminent. You should get Long Ren and Leng Feng back to their units immediately. As for you..." Lu Zhenbang paused on the other end of the communicator, "Your primary task is to expedite the development of a specific drug for this coronavirus. Once the drug is developed, return to your unit immediately."

“Okay, I understand.” Wen Ni had already anticipated this.

With a formidable enemy at hand, she should return to the front lines!

"And another thing." Lu Zhenbang's firm tone softened slightly, yet carried a hint of hidden difficulty. "Have you seen Lu Jinye recently? How is his recovery going? His mother... asked me to ask him."

"If Captain Lu wants to know, why doesn't he just call and ask him himself?"

"I……"

There was silence on the other end of the communicator for a few seconds.

It wasn't until Wen Ni spoke again, "Captain Lu, Lu Jinye's resentment isn't just that you weren't there for him when he needed you most. What he truly resents is your leaving without saying goodbye."

As a child, Lu Jinye's parents disappeared without a word and didn't return for a very long time, not even when he was sick. That fear of losing his sense of security and the imagination of being abandoned truly influenced and tormented him.

"But constantly running away from his complaints and obsessions is never the best solution. I hope you can have some time to sit down and have a proper talk!"

"I see."

On the communicator came Lu Zhenbang's somber voice.

Communication terminated.

Wen Ni handed the communicator back to Long Ren, then turned her gaze to Baron.

"Take me to see Lu Jinye, I want to see him."

"Yes, Miss Nini."

Barron nodded slightly and turned to lead the way.

His left sleeve hung empty at the hem, swaying as he slowed down until it came to rest.

Wen Ni followed behind him and also stopped.

Looking up, my gaze passed Barron's tall figure and fell upon a group of people walking in through the main entrance...

The man at the front had short chestnut brown hair, wore gold-rimmed glasses and a white shirt, and was pushing a wheelchair as he drew closer!

Wen Ni recognized him; it was indeed Teacher Su Li.

The person being pushed in the wheelchair by Su Li was dressed in greyish-white casual clothes, with a long brown trench coat draped over their shoulders, seemingly trying to conceal the casts on their arms and legs. But the more they tried to hide it, the more obvious it became…

"Lu Jinye!"

Wen Ni called out his name and stepped forward.

She swept through the long corridor of the hall like a breeze, carrying her own fragrance, and came to her long-awaited lover.

Even though it's so close, I hesitate!

His once handsome face, blessed by heaven, was now covered in scars, his cheeks swollen and red. From his chin to his collarbone, there were patches of bruises and redness!

In her eyes, Lu Jinye was always impeccably dressed, rarely appearing so disheveled and decadent.

"Wen Ni".

The moment he called her name.

Her heart ached!

The pain was unbearable, and all she wanted to do was bend down, gently put her arm around his shoulder, and pull him into her embrace!

"Lu Jinye, it hurts a lot, doesn't it?"

"It hurts, it hurts so much." He could only raise one hand to hold her waist. He buried his face in her neck and took a deep, greedy breath. "But seeing that you are safe and sound makes me feel much better."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ni tightened her grip on his shoulder.

Leng Feng and Long Ren exchanged a glance at each other from around the corner, then turned around.

They were relieved that the beacon tower hadn't come for this mission.

Otherwise, that kid might have shattered on the spot and then squatted on the ground crying!

"How are you?" Wen Ni felt a little embarrassed by the stares of passersby, so she quickly let go of Lu Jinye's hand and checked his injuries with some concern. "I heard from Baron that you had two surgeries this afternoon. You just had surgery, so why are you out here?"

"I'm fine." Lu Jinye lowered his head slightly, looking somewhat sad. "I was just afraid that if I came too late, I wouldn't be able to see you."
