"No problem, Minister Hu, don't worry," Su Yueya said.

Hu Fangcheng could rest easy.

After all, any task assigned by the sisters Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo has never gone wrong, and they always complete it flawlessly, which makes him very proud.

Especially when they were sent to assist in the mission as medical support, people initially had some reservations when they saw that they had sent female military doctors. However, after witnessing their abilities, they were all full of admiration.

Some people even asked him privately where he found such a powerful expert!

Back home, Su Yueya first explained the matter to her family and then gave the two little ones a heads-up.

After all, she and her son and daughter had never been separated for such a long time before, so she didn't have any psychological barriers. She was just worried that the two little ones would cry and fuss.

"Yueya, don't worry. You can focus on your mission. We'll take good care of Xiaoyuan and An'an!" Everyone in the family fully supports Su Yueya's decision and will not let her down at this crucial moment.

Qiao Xinruo, however, was somewhat dissatisfied when she heard that Hu Fangcheng had specifically sought out her sister.

"Minister Hu has already hinted that it's not easy to find someone else to take over this task. I'm your sister, can't you even ask me for help?" Qiao Xinruo said irritably, feeling that she should stand up and share her sister's burden at this time.

Unfortunately, Hu Fangcheng's list has already been submitted, and the matter is already a done deal. Changing it to military doctor now would cause too much of a stir, and it's indeed not easy to handle.

“When have I ever been polite to you? I’m just thinking that Xiaoyuan and An’an are already grown up. Even if we’re not together every day, they’ll understand what I’m doing. Besides, you’ve been getting really into Zhou Jinglan lately, and I don’t want you to go on a mission right now and disrupt your relationship,” Su Yueya said.

Indeed, when Su Yueya heard Hu Fangcheng's hint in his office today, this was the first thing that came to her mind.

In the past, whenever Lu Zhengjun went out on a mission, she would worry about him for as long as he was gone. She understood that feeling of waiting very well.

Now is a crucial time for Zhou Jinglan and her sister to get to know each other, so how could she possibly let her sister go out and carry out a mission for her now?

Besides, Xiaoyuan and An'an are already over two years old, it's time for them to learn how to deal with separation anxiety.

"Sis, what are you saying? I'm not dating him yet!" Qiao Xinruo retorted stubbornly.

"Oh, you don't have a boyfriend, but you two are always together. The aunties in the compound have been asking about you two behind your backs! I'm not going to talk about this anymore, I need to appease Xiaoyuan and An'an first," Su Yueya said, not wanting to expose her stubborn sister any further.

After listening to the adults talk for a long time, Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an finally understood what was going on.

"Mom, are you going to a very far place?" Lu Siyuan asked.

“Yes, it is indeed quite far from our capital.” Su Yueya nodded.

"When are you coming back, Mom?" Lu Si'an asked, looking at her mother curiously. She instinctively hugged her mother's leg and added, "Will you be like Dad, not coming back for a very long time?"

Su Yueya had told the two little ones that their father was on a very dangerous mission in a faraway place. This was the biggest secret, and they couldn't tell anyone except when the three of them were together.

Hearing Lu Si'an ask this question, Su Yueya's heart clenched instantly.

"Of course not!"

Even though he told the children that their father was just going on a mission and that he didn't abandon them.

But for Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an, the fact is that they have never seen their biological father since they were born. Everyone else has a father, but they have never seen their father. How could the little ones not feel sad at all?

Young children are prone to idolizing their fathers.

Especially since this is in a military compound, where almost every child's father is a soldier, it's even easier for them to admire their fathers.

Su Yueya didn't want her son and daughter to feel abandoned, so she could only coax them even more gently.

“Xiaoyuan, An'an, your mom and dad will never abandon you. Mom is really just going out on a mission to catch bad guys. It’s just that the place I’m going to is a bit far away this time, and you may not see Mom for several days. But Mom promises that after I finish the mission, I will definitely come back to be with you, okay?” Su Yueya said gently.

"Okay," the two little ones said sensibly.

However, their act of clinging tightly to Su Yueya's leg betrayed their inner unease.

There's really no way to ease their anxiety before the separation, no matter how many sweet words you say to comfort them.

"You two be good and listen to your grandparents and uncles at home. Mommy will be back soon..." Su Yueya picked up the two little ones and even allowed them to sleep with her tonight.

"Okay, Mom, don't worry," Lu Siyuan kissed Su Yueya's cheek. "I'll take good care of my little sister. We'll wait for you to come home. You have to take good care of yourself too!"

Seeing his brother kiss their mother, Lu Si'an was not to be outdone and quickly followed suit, kissing his mother in return.

"An'an will be obedient!" Lu Si'an assured her.

"So good!" Su Yueya pinched the two little ones' chubby cheeks. Her reluctance to part with them was no less than that of the children.

Two days later, the task force assembled and set off.

The team leader this time was Commander Chen Mingyang, who was acquainted with Su Yueya. He was the husband of Zhao Huijuan, who used to live next door to her.

Another familiar face was Zhao Yunshan, Lu Zhengjun's good friend, who is now the deputy regimental commander.

Huadu is far away, and the group arrived by train dressed in casual clothes.

"Sister-in-law!" Zhao Yunshan greeted Su Yueya.

Back then, when they first met, Su Yueya was traveling to Shanghai by train when she encountered Lu Zhengjun and Zhao Yunshan, and they had a brief encounter.

It was around that time that Lu Zhengjun fell in love with Su Yueya at first sight.

"I didn't expect to see you here," Su Yueya said. Meeting an acquaintance while on a mission is a kind of fate.

Zhao Yunshan glanced at the group and saw that Su Yueya was the only woman. He took it upon himself to take care of Su Yueya's safety, after all, she was his sister-in-law!

"Sister-in-law, sit still and don't move. I'll go get you some food and water," Zhao Yunshan said.

Knowing about Su Yueya's relationship with Zhao Yunshan, the other soldiers didn't think much of it, since everyone in the army knew about Lu Zhengjun.

"Okay, thank you for your trouble." Su Yueya didn't stand on ceremony and stayed in her seat obediently.

Nothing happened during the train journey, and no one revealed their identities. They acted like normal passengers until they finally arrived in Huadu.

"Let's meet up with the people here first, and then we'll gather again to discuss the mission plan," Chen Mingyang said. He was fully responsible for guiding and overseeing all aspects of this mission.
