"What happened?"

Tang Ran only felt that his heart was now extremely strong and he had already prepared himself mentally.

"How many days have you been away from the Northwest Military Region?"

"Six days."

"Something did happen, but it's only in the investigation stage and it's not serious yet."

Tang Ran was in no hurry to urge him and waited for Qi Zheng to continue.

"I don't know the details. I was taken away two days ago to cooperate with the investigation. They asked me about my overseas connections, which seemed to be related to Tang Wei's last mission.

They didn't find anything, so they let me go."

Tang Ran's eyelids twitched, and she instantly thought of the mission that Tang Wei had carried out in the United States.

It was hard for Tang Ran not to start a conspiracy theory.

"Won't my second brother be in trouble then?"

"I came back this morning and the first thing I did was call your second brother. Although I didn't ask about this matter directly, it was your second brother who answered the phone and was training normally, so there's a high probability that there won't be any major problems.

We shouldn’t overthink it and scare ourselves, but we should always remember to be careful with what we say and do.”

The fact was indeed as Qi Zheng said. There was no point in Tang Ran worrying, so she changed the subject.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, you're going to have a brother or sister soon."

A smile appeared on Qi Zheng's face, and Tang Ran quickly reacted and looked at Jia Qian's belly.

Tang Ran had come here specifically to see if Jia Qian had any problems and whether she could be cured, but she didn't expect to receive an unexpected surprise.

This is the first good news for the family in such a long time.

…………

On the other side, Tang Wei, just as Qi Zheng guessed, did undergo an investigation. Not only him, but three others were also investigated. It had nothing to do with conspiracy or calculation. It was just because someone among the people participating in the mission this time leaked the content of the operation, which led to the failure of the first round of rescue and their arrest.

The person who defected has actually been identified, but for the sake of rigor, some necessary procedures still have to be followed. For example, Qi Zheng and Tang Wei are relatives and have overseas connections, so they must be included in the scope of review.

That is to say, Tang Ran is not in the Northwest Military Region at this moment, otherwise Tang Ran, as Tang Wei's biological sister and who participated in the second rescue mission, would also be subject to investigation.

The person in charge of the review arrived at the Northwest Military Region three days ago. Fang Yanwu refused the other party's request for forced recall on the grounds that Tang Ran was on leave, and the review was postponed indefinitely.

Tang Ran also did not forget to tell Qi Zheng and his wife about Tang Rou who was currently accompanying the army with Tang Bo. She did not go into detail about what happened to Tang Rou, but only gave a general idea.

Qi Zheng and Jia Qian fell silent, not knowing what to say.

Tang Ran didn't expect the two to say anything. She had given Qi Zheng a shot of prevention before, so this could be considered a booster shot.

But Tang Ran was still cautious and would never say anything that she shouldn't. She wanted to minimize the risk. Qi Zheng was her uncle, and also Tang Rou and Tang Bo's.

Compared to Qi Zheng, Tang Ran was afraid that his heart would be torn into eight pieces and he would feel sorry for every nephew and niece, while Lu Wei was really only concerned about Lu Jinshu.

"Are you sure Lu Jinshu won't tell anyone that you're still alive and in China?"

After completing their mission, the group escorting Lu Wei reported the situation immediately. Of course, they could not hide the fact that they encountered Lu Jinshu on the way.

The person in charge of the scientific research laboratory in Meng City is Ruan Fei. He has always had a good relationship with Lu Wei and is very familiar with the Lu family's affairs.

"Jinshu won't, you don't have to worry so much."

Ruan Fei paced back and forth, never expecting that it would be such a coincidence that he would run into Lu Jinshu who was on a mission.

"You didn't tell Lu Jinshu that you were here, did you?"

"I just told him I was coming to Monterey Park, nothing else."

Just one sentence made Ruan Fei so angry that his chest heaved violently.

"Lu Wei, your brain is full of water, have you lost your mind to scientific research?

Why were you accused of desertion? Don't you have any idea how much suffering you suffered in that corps?

You used to say that your elder brother would not harm you, but what happened?

After all, they are father and son. Now that the incident is over, the father is kind and the son is filial. He will speak his mind and then tell you everything. Do you think you can still be so lucky?

Do you know how much effort I put into getting you out? Saving you once is the limit. Do you want to consider whether there is anyone who can save you again?

Ruan Fei was really angry, or to be more precise, he was angry and heartbroken. He almost thought he would never see Lu Wei again.

"Don't walk back and forth. You're making me dizzy. I watched Jinshu grow up. He would never do the things you're worried about.

Didn’t you also tell me when you passed the message to me before that the child broke up with his family and went to the Northwest Military Region because of me?”

Ruan Fei stopped refutation. What Lu Wei said was true, but nothing is absolute.

"No, how about taking more trouble and throwing a smoke bomb to ensure absolute safety."

"There's no need to waste your energy. My eldest brother and I don't have a deep hatred. He's just using me as a stepping stone. His goal has been achieved. It won't do him any good to keep holding on to me. He's not that stupid."

…………

As for Lu Jinshu, he looked listless after returning from the mission, but he did not forget Tang Ran's instructions. After applying with Fang Yanwu, he went to the underground scientific research laboratory of the Northwest Military Region to visit Tang Kangnian and Qi Min the next day.

Unlike Tang Ran, he didn't have the space, so he could only find ways to buy some canned fruits, cakes and other things. Of course, it couldn't be compared with Tang Ran's lavish spending.

When they saw that the person coming was Lu Jinshu, Tang Kangnian and Qi Min's hearts skipped a beat.

"Ranran is out on a mission again?"

"No, she's on vacation now, so she went to Hai City to visit Uncle Qi. We're in the same action team, so we'll go on missions together."

She left in a hurry, and specifically told me to come and tell you so that you wouldn't miss her."

Tang Kangnian and Qi Min finally felt relieved and chatted with Lu Jinshu for a while about Tang Ran's daily life. Lu Jinshu answered all their questions one by one, but it was obvious that the Tang Ran described by Lu Jinshu was an angel on earth, with the filter pulled to the maximum.

Qi Min hesitated several times to speak, wanting to ask what happened when they went to the United States to carry out the mission, and whether Tang Ran was seriously injured at that time, but he quickly suppressed the idea. It didn't make much sense to talk about it now. Thousands of words were finally summed up in one sentence.

"Xiao Lu, please take good care of Ranran when you're out on missions. Your Uncle Tang and I would like to thank you in advance."

"Don't worry, uncle and aunt, I will definitely take good care of Tang Ran."

Tang Kangnian nodded repeatedly, feeling that Lu Jinshu was a really good kid. Qi Min, on the other hand, was overthinking things and unconsciously began to use a different standard to measure Lu Jinshu...
