Lin Cuicui watched in shock as Xixi fiddled with the large rock for a couple of seconds, and two small stones immediately appeared, making her family's courtyard gate clearly visible in front of her.

Lin Cuicui was speechless. Her daughter was already astonishing enough, but how did this boy grow up? She truly had no idea. Could it be that this little guy also dreamed of the white-bearded old man?

Xixi tilted her little head, blinked her big eyes, and looked at her mother's stunned expression. She giggled and pulled Lin Cuicui's clothes with her chubby little hands, trying to pull her into the yard.

Lin Cuicui followed her son into the courtyard as if in a dream, her eyes fixed on Xixi, as if she were seeing the child for the first time.

Could this child be different from other children? Lin Cuicui thought about it carefully and realized that she was indeed different. Xixi was one year and four months old. Apart from not speaking fluently yet, everything else seemed to be fine.

Lin Cuicui really didn't understand why Xixi had never cried since he was little. And those big eyes seemed to speak volumes. Even before Xixi could speak, Lin Cuicui could tell what he was thinking at a glance.

Old Li came out of the backyard carrying a hoe, noticing that Lin Cuicui seemed distracted. "What's wrong? What happened again?"

Lin Cuicui looked up at Old Li blankly, her voice stuck in her throat, unsure of what to say.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, hug me!" Xixi stood on the ground. He couldn't see his mother's expression unless she looked down. Now he could see it clearly from a higher position.

"Oh, my good grandson." Old Li quickly put the hoe aside, brushed the dirt off his body, and picked up Xixi.

Lin Cuicui was already very strong-willed, and she gradually came to terms with Xixi's ability to set up formations.

"Dad, just now, Xixi set up a formation outside our yard."

"What?" Old Li quickly looked at Xixi in his arms. Xixi's little face had lost its smile and was full of grievance. Old Li didn't care about anything else and quickly tried to comfort her.

Lin Cuicui felt that her son was now completely possessed by a drama queen.

There were many things that didn't make sense to her before, but now she understands. It will probably take the old man a while to accept it. Now she's not worried about the safety of the two people in the family anymore. Now that spies have resurfaced, Lin Cuicui has no mood to talk about Aunt Qin anymore.

Sigh, I guess I'll just have to put it on hold for now.

"Dad, have Xixi put the stones outside the door back in place. I'm going out for a bit."

Old Li, too preoccupied to comfort his grandson, lowered his voice and said, "Didn't they say someone was watching our family?"

Lin Cuicui went inside and took out an invisibility talisman from the ring on her hand. Her daughter had left behind quite a few things before she left, and if it weren't for Xixi's sudden stimulation, she wouldn't have remembered this thing.

He affixed the talisman to his body inside the house, and when he came out, he simply said, "Father, I'm going out."

Old Li's expression remained unchanged. Da Bei and the others would sometimes use this to scare him when they were home, but he's immune to it now.

It was this little Xixi's ability to perform formations that truly frightened him. How did this child grow up like this?

Lin Cuicui, wearing an invisibility talisman, felt quite comfortable walking along the main road. This feeling of freedom was truly intoxicating. Even when she reached the camp entrance, she didn't bother to register at the guard post and simply swaggered in.

In short, her feelings can only be described in one word: "Awesome!"

She sensed that something must have happened in the military recently, as the soldiers here all seemed very busy.

When she arrived at Commander Kang's office, she peeked through the crack in the door and saw that only Commander Kang was there. She gently knocked on the door and took off the invisibility talisman from her body and put it back into her storage ring.

Only after hearing a "come in" from inside did he push the door open and enter.

Inside the room, Commander Kang was bending over to examine a map. When he looked up and saw her, he put down the red and blue pencils in his hand and asked with a puzzled look, "Comrade Lin, is that you?"

Commander Kang felt that Lin Cuicui was not the kind of person who didn't know her place. She had just come yesterday, and she came again today without even saying hello, which was quite unusual.

Lin Cuicui stepped forward quickly and, after stopping, said directly: "Commander Kang, the spies have approached Qian Xing again! They gave Qian Xing a mission, instructing him to lead me and Xixi to the border town."

She took a deep breath and continued, "Commander Kang, I think we can't keep defending ourselves forever. We still don't know who the spies are, and this is too passive."

Therefore, I plan to turn the tables and use this opportunity to wipe out this group of spies in one fell swoop.

Commander Kang frowned upon hearing this. What a slap in the face! Yesterday he said the spies had quieted down, and now they're up and running again. "Tell me in detail, what exactly happened?"

Lin Cuicui recounted in detail how Qian Xing discovered the note, the metal box found in the classroom, and the threatening photos.

"The message Qian Xing received was hidden in the classroom where they usually had evening classes. It also included a photo of Qian Xing's father in Qiligou. This was a threat to force him to submit by endangering his family's safety."

Qian Xing didn't know who the spy he was contacting was, and he didn't dare to alert them, so he could only come to my house to tell me what was going on.

Lin Cuicui clenched her fists, her eyes filled with determination. "Commander, I've made up my mind. This time, I want to cooperate with the secret agents' operation. If I don't go out, they'll never stop."

Commander Kang didn't actually agree. "Comrade Lin, to be honest, the spies might have had several considerations in choosing this time. It might be related to the battlefield and the current research findings on the South Island."

At this critical time, I really don't want you to go out and take risks. Besides, it's just you, the child, and an elderly person at home. I promised Tang Yue I would ensure the safety of your whole family.”
