But such "concessions" are only temporary; how long can they last?

“Okay, then go ahead,” Hu Fangcheng said.

For leaders, it's enough to have colleagues assign tasks; it doesn't matter who assigns the tasks.

But Su Yueya refused decisively after hearing about it.

She privately approached Xu Luxin, first expressing her gratitude to him, and then declining his offer of help.

“I know that according to the rules of the medical department, it is my turn to carry out external affairs this time. I will talk to Minister Hu. Thank you for your willingness to help, but I can’t always rely on everyone. I have to take responsibility for my own tasks. Let me go,” Su Yueya said.

Xu Luxin hesitated; he was worried about Su Yueya's condition.

"Dr. Su, we're all helping each other out..."

“I know and understand your good intentions, but I really can’t,” Su Yueya said, her attitude very firm.

There are two reasons for this. First, Su Yueya doesn't want to accept favors from her colleagues easily. Second, she can escape her family temporarily by carrying out missions—after all, it's too easy for them to be exposed, and it's obviously more difficult for her to act in front of her family.

"Are you sure everything's alright?" Xu Luxin asked, making no attempt to hide his concern for Su Yueya.

"Confirmed." Su Yueya nodded; she couldn't wait to carry out the mission!

“Okay, since you’ve said so, I’ll listen to you and not put you in a difficult position,” Xu Luxin said, giving in.

In the end, Su Yueya was assigned this task.

When the Qiao family heard about it, they were all very worried and tried to persuade Su Yueya to change her mind. Only Qiao Gaoyang supported her.

Su Yueya persuaded each of her family members before she was finally able to carry out the mission herself.

She never expected that this mission would be carried out with Liu Dekai.

Su Yueya: "..."

What a tragic fate!

When Su Yueya saw Liu Dekai, she pretended not to know anything and focused on sitting in the car, closing her eyes to rest.

The conflict between her and Liu Dekai was a personal matter and should not affect the mission.

Meanwhile, on the day of departure, Liu Dekai was also filled with emotion when he saw Su Yueya.

The accompanying military doctor this time was actually Su Yueya!

Liu Dekai shouldered his bag and sat down in his assigned seat.

He had mixed feelings and couldn't help but let his mind wander.

Could it be that Su Yueya volunteered to follow him because she heard that he was in charge of the mission this time?

After all, her husband is dead... Maybe she wants to get back together with him?

But now he has Mo Youyou!

“Crescent Moon…” Liu Dekai greeted him.

This is a rare opportunity.

It allows Liu Dekai and Su Yueya to communicate while avoiding other people.

Liu Dekai already harbored some unspoken thoughts, and this opportunity was perfect for them to communicate. That's why he took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Su Yueya, but—

Su Yueya clearly heard Liu Dekai's greeting, but acted as if she hadn't heard it, keeping her eyes closed.

Liu Dekai: "..."

Is it an act, or is it real?

He couldn't believe that Su Yueya could be indifferent to being with him.

Let alone when Lu Zhengjun was alive, now that Lu Zhengjun is dead, how could Su Yueya still act as if she can't see her?

“Crescent Moon, if you’re tired, you can tell me…” Liu Dekai said proactively.

The implication was that, as a deputy battalion commander and the commander of this mission, he could easily allow Su Yueya to complete the mission, since everything depended on his orders.

But Su Yueya closed her eyes and pretended that the person didn't exist!

Liu Dekai: "..."

Su Yueya herself was quite at ease.

Liu Dekai was the deputy battalion commander and the person in charge of leading the team. He was basically in charge of the entire mission. However, the medical department's work was outside his arrangements—it was handled by military doctors dispatched by the medical department. The specific rescue methods were decided by the military doctors.

This time, only Su Yueya was sent, which means that she has the final say.

That's why Su Yueya dared to be so "unscrupulous".

This mission, though seemingly ordinary, was far more dangerous than she had imagined.

"Catch enemy agents?" Su Yueya was somewhat shocked. She was chatting with another soldier on a mission.

"Yes, this time we're arresting two suspected enemy agents," the soldier said.

Su Yueya nodded, understanding the general idea.

Although it's only suspected, it's almost certainly confirmed; otherwise, they wouldn't have been sent to arrest them.

This arrest operation was naturally extremely dangerous.

Upon arrival at their destination, Liu Dekai immediately began deploying personnel. Everyone took their positions, with even Su Yueya remaining in the medical tent, ready to assist any wounded soldiers who might arrive.

"You stay here, I'll lead the others to flank from the other side!" Liu Dekai said.

They had learned quite a bit of information beforehand—otherwise, they wouldn't have sent Liu Dekai to carry out the mission. Although it was dangerous, considering the information they already had, the mission wasn't actually that difficult.

Otherwise, how could Liu Dekai possibly have come to carry it out?

Even if he wanted to boost his achievements, Mo Cheng would help him with the review process.

"Yes, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu!"

One group of soldiers remained in place, waiting for the enemy agents to appear so they could be captured immediately.

Liu Dekai, on the other hand, led another squad to flank the enemy from the other side, hoping to increase the chances of capturing the enemy agents. However, just as they were about to make the flank, Liu Dekai received the latest news.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, it's said that another enemy agent will escape from the north. If all our manpower is here, the one in the north can escape directly!" the informant said.

Liu Dekai: "..."

He fell silent; now it was clearly time for him to make a decision.

If the right choice is made, everyone will be happy.

If something is done wrong, Liu Dekai must take full responsibility—that's what it means to be in charge.

"First and second squads, follow me!" Liu Dekai made the decision after thinking it over.

He led the first and second squads to the north to ambush the enemy agents who were trying to escape, while the remaining third and fourth squads stayed in place to guard the enemy agent who was supposed to appear and capture him.

"Liu Hongxin, you are in charge of the third and fourth squads here. You must capture the enemy agents!" Liu Dekai said.

"Yes, Deputy Battalion Commander!" Liu Hongxin saluted.

He was still grinning foolishly, thinking that this was a sign that Liu Dekai was willing to give him a chance, little did he know that Liu Dekai was just preparing for the worst.

If nothing goes wrong on Liu Hongxin's side, then Liu Dekai's deployment was appropriate; if something goes wrong... then it's because Liu Hongxin is incompetent!

Liu Dekai immediately led the first and second squads away, leaving Liu Hongxin behind.

The information received was correct, and soon, enemy agents appeared.

"Go forward and arrest them!" Liu Hongxin took the lead, leading the two best soldiers from the first and second squads to move forward and arrest the enemy agents.
