Qin Xiaowu's eyes instantly revealed a look of utter shock and astonishment. "This... how is this possible? How could Battalion Commander Meng be in the Southern Frontier Village?"

"Why him of all people? How could it have to be him?"

At this moment, Qin An also saw Meng Daqiang in the village. He was as if struck by lightning, and all the strength in his body was drained away in that instant.

His face was filled with astonishment and disbelief.

"Old Qin, Xiao Wu, what are you talking about?"

"Yeah, what are you talking about? What Battalion Commander Meng? Didn't Old Meng transfer back to his hometown months ago?"

"I don't believe it! It couldn't be him, it definitely can't be..."

Several months later, when they suddenly heard the name Battalion Commander Meng, everyone was extremely surprised. But after the surprise, they were all incredulous and heartbroken!

"I completely understand how you feel right now, but that's the truth!" Lu Lingxiao walked over with a cold expression. "You must remember, people's hearts are complex, and people can change!"

Even the best and kindest people will change when faced with self-interest.

Of course, not everyone would betray their conscience and forget their responsibilities and mission as soldiers for personal gain; only a very few people cannot resist the temptation.

Clearly, Meng Daqiang had forgotten his identity as a soldier and abandoned his comrades who had fought alongside him.

In fact, Lu Lingxiao's heartache and hatred at this moment were no less than Qin An's and the others.

When he guessed Mr. M's identity.

He hates it!

He is in pain!

Those comrades who were captured or even sacrificed probably couldn't believe until their deaths that they didn't die at the hands of the enemy or under the enemy's guns, but instead died at the hands of their comrades who had fought alongside them through thick and thin!

Lu Lingxiao has always valued Meng Daqiang highly, and Commander Lin also has high hopes for him.

Meng Daqiang gave up a promotion opportunity and took his wife and children back to his hometown in the countryside. He was supposed to return to the military region after his leave, but just as his leave was about to end, Meng Daqiang suddenly chose to transfer to civilian work.

When Lu Lingxiao heard the news after returning to his unit, he was depressed for several days. Because of his wife's incompetence, Battalion Commander Meng's military career had to end prematurely.

But now, he just finds it laughable!

How ironic it is now to say how much I valued and regretted it in the past!

When Meng Daqiang was discharged from the army and transferred to civilian work, his division commander, feeling sorry for him, even found him a job with room for advancement. However, this man ended up becoming an executioner!

He not only betrayed the army and the country, but also let down his comrades!

This must be a painful blow to his comrades who fought alongside him.

a long time--

Deputy Regiment Commander Xu Feng asked with a heavy heart, "Captain, is it really... really him?"

Was that traitor really Battalion Commander Meng?

Even now, Xu Feng still finds it hard to believe that his comrade-in-arms, whom he could once entrust his back to with complete peace of mind, is now standing on the opposite side.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Xu, I believe you already had the right answer in your heart the moment you saw that face!" Feng Zhiyi glanced at him, her voice indifferent and devoid of any warmth.

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he found that he couldn't say anything.

Everyone involuntarily lowered their heads.

Leaving all their heartache and sorrow behind, they are now ready to confront Meng Daqiang head-on and bring him back to face the law!

"Qin Xiaowu will stay behind with one team to provide backup, and Qin An will lead another team to guard the back of the village just in case. The rest of you will split into three groups and come with me into the village!"

Lu Lingxiao quickly gave the order, then turned to look at Feng Zhiyi, wanting to ask her what she thought.

Feng Zhiyi glanced at him and said directly, "I'll act alone!"

"young married woman!"

Lu Lingxiao was shocked, never expecting that Feng Zhiyi would actually choose to act alone.

"Listen to me." Feng Zhiyi's attitude was extremely assertive. "They don't know I've followed them yet. It's best if I act alone. I'll be in the shadows while they're in the open, making it easier for me to go in and rescue them!"

When she arrived, she deliberately disguised herself as a man, so neither Meng Daqiang nor the people of Nanjiang Village knew that she was a woman.

When she acts alone, she immediately changes her makeup and then sneaks into the village silently.

"You... be careful!"

Lu Lingxiao initially wanted to say he wouldn't agree, but his wife's assertive attitude and firm gaze made him change his mind in the end.

"The same to you!"

Feng Zhiyi walked over and hugged him, then tiptoed and kissed his chin. "See you in the village later!"

After saying that, he turned and darted into the jungle.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

Lu Lingxiao stared intently in the direction where Feng Zhiyi had disappeared, the veins on the back of his hand bulging, his narrow pupils unable to conceal the deep-seated violence and bloodlust, and his whole body exuding an extremely strong chill and killing intent.

"Walk!"

The man's voice was like a ferocious beast from an endless abyss, cold and deep. It was only one word, yet it struck the depths of everyone's soul.

At this moment, the captain is so cold!

No one spoke; they all silently followed Lu Lingxiao toward the entrance.

Lu Lingxiao moved extremely fast, reaching the entrance of the village in less than three minutes. He looked around and found that all the people who had been guarding the place were gone, and even the traps they had set had been removed.

Lu Lingxiao gave a cold laugh.
