"Nonsense, what do you think that is? You think you can just go there like that? Do you know how dangerous it is there right now?"

Tang Yue just stared at Commander Kang silently, without saying a word. Commander Kang looked at Tang Yue's eyes and felt like he was choking.

After calming down, Commander Kang softened his tone and advised, "Company Commander Tang, the South Island Military Region has now joined forces with the Southwest Military Region in a two-way operation, and they will definitely find your father and Battalion Commander Xu."

At this time, your safest option is to stay quietly with the troops in the South Island.

"Which country made it?"

Commander Kang pondered for a moment and felt that there was no need to keep this matter from Tang Yue any longer.

"Japan is definitely involved, but it's still unknown whether the US or Japan is in charge. At the same time, we can't rule out the possibility that Russia might get involved as well."

Tang Yue's lips curled into a cold smile, "Commander, what kind of good mission did you assign to my father and the others? Why do so many people want it?"

Commander Kang was not in the mood for joking with Tang Yue. "The treasures you found in the mountains and the treasures on those fishing boats you acquired in Japan can't all stay on the South Island forever."

Tang Yue's eyes widened. "So, you sent my dad and the others to transport those treasures? How many of them went? How did they manage to move all the treasures away at once?"

Commander Kang rolled his eyes at her, annoyed. "You think you know how serious this is? Don't you think I don't? Don't worry, your dad and the others only took five items in total."

What Commander Kang didn't mention was that the value of these five treasures was equivalent to dozens of chests of gold, and possibly more.

Tang Yue frowned. There were only five treasures in total. Was it worth those people sending so many people to snatch them?

Commander Kang... well, even if he doesn't say it, the little girl will figure it out later.

Since the topic had already come up, he had nothing to hide. "It's not safe to keep these treasures on the Southern Island. Recently, most of the Southern Island's military forces have been focused on protecting these treasures."

However, these treasures had to be transported to the capital. This was no secret internationally. Therefore, every move made on the South Island was under surveillance by spies from several countries.

"I had no choice but to secretly transport a batch to test the waters first. I never expected to be spotted by those people."

Tang Yue didn't know what to say to Commander Kang. Since he knew that several countries were eyeing this batch of treasures, why did he still make a move at this time? Wasn't he just handing them food?

Moreover, those spies certainly didn't know how much treasure his father and his men had brought, so they put their efforts into it.

Tang Yue thought to herself, why didn't they let her do this mission? If she had gone, even with all these things, no matter how many treasures there were, she could have taken them all at once.

Tang Yue was now facing a headache. She couldn't expose this secret, but she really wanted to help Commander Kang resolve these problems once and for all. Otherwise, who knew how many soldiers would be injured or even killed because of these treasures?

But she couldn't think of anything else right now; her father's safety was the most important thing.

"I must go and save my dad."

"No, you can't leave the South Island."

Tang Yue completely ignored what Commander Kang said. "Commander Kang, you should know that I joined the army to protect the safety of my family."

As she said this, Tang Yue's eyes turned slightly cold, "But it seems that my family's safety is not guaranteed. Today, my mother almost died in childbirth because of someone's scheme, along with her unborn child."

My father is currently missing, protecting national cultural relics. And you, Commander, are stopping me from rescuing him? What's the point of me being a soldier then?

Commander Kang...

"Tang Yue, now that you've enlisted, you must abide by the rules of the military."

Tang Yue's eyes remained expressionless. "If enlisting results in this outcome—unable to protect my mother during childbirth, unable to ensure my father's safe service, and confined to the southern island with no freedom whatsoever—then I'd rather not join the army."

Commander Kang stared at her, "Company Commander Tang, do you want to desert?"

Tang Yue shrugged indifferently, "Senior, the decision of what my status is is up to you."

Commander Kang hadn't expected to be outmaneuvered by this young girl; once she got stubborn, nothing could change her mind. "The work at the lab..."

"What does it have to do with me? If I don't even have a home, then all of this means nothing to me."

What does it matter to me what happens to China? Whether it's annexed, occupied by Mao, or colonized by Japan, it makes no difference to me.

What I care about is the safety of my family. If my family is gone, I wouldn't mind the destruction of China.

Tang Yue's voice wasn't loud, but every word seemed to strike a chord in Commander Kang's heart, making his head buzz.

What is this girl thinking? But looking at her determined eyes, it seems that what she says is true, and that she will do what she says.

For a moment, Commander Kang didn't know how to describe his feelings.

Tang Yue's importance is undeniable. From the day they met her, both he and Chang Yin could sense that her existence was of great significance to the Southern Island Legion and even the entire country of China.

From the things she's done, it's clear this young girl is no ordinary person. It's just a pity she was born in this era. But that's no excuse for her reckless behavior.

This girl's safety is extremely important. Tang Shengkai and his group should currently have been driven into the Qinling Mountains by the secret agents. There are many places there that no one has ever set foot in. The level of danger in that area has not yet been fully predicted by them.
