Zhan Peng looked at his son who was about to cry, his lips trembling slightly, and his throat choked with bitter sobs. "Son, Daddy promises you that no matter what the cost, I will definitely bring Mommy home. You go play first, Daddy has something else to do."

After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone, lying on his back facing the ceiling, a tear sliding down from the corner of his eye.

The iron-blooded man who had fought his way out of the hail of bullets was so heartbroken that his whole body was shaking.

"Yana... Yana... why don't you just kill me..."

In the bedroom, Balu was video chatting with Nanxi.

Nanxi was already lying on the bed with her cell phone placed not far away. All she could see on the screen was her palm-sized face with a pouting look on her face, looking unhappy.

"What's wrong, baby?" Balu frowned and asked with narrowed eyes.

"I'm so tired, Ba Xiaolu. It turns out being a boss isn't that easy." She whined. "When you're not around, no one gives me a massage. I feel so pitiful."

The man lowered his head and smiled, "Then don't do it. Stay at home and let your husband support you."

"That won't do. I don't have much talent. I can't even open up the field, and my dad would scold me to death. You're not allowed to hold me back, do you hear me? You have to encourage me and tell me my wife is amazing."

"Okay, okay, my wife is so great." The man had no choice but to coax her.

"No sincerity at all." Nanxi curled her lips in disgust.

"Yes, yes, my wife is in a bad mood, and even a sip of water takes up space for me."

The person over there was finally amused by him, "Ba Xiaolu, you are really annoying."

"You clearly think I'm cute." The man raised his eyebrows. "Don't deny it, Nan Xiaoxi. You were smiling just now."

Nanxi couldn't help laughing, "Annoying."

"Wife, I miss you so much." Balu looked at the person he thought about day and night in the video, and he wished he could go through the Internet cable, hug her and kiss her hard.

"I miss you too, Ba Xiaolu." Nanxi sighed, "You've been gone for almost half a month. When will you come back?"

"The war isn't over yet, honey. It's hard to say now. Just be good in Rangoon and I won't be distracted. Got it?"

"Yes, I know. Don't worry, Sister Zhenzhen takes good care of me. Ajie and Axiao are also very well-behaved and obedient. I am very happy every day when they can come and accompany me."

"Hmph." Baru snorted coldly, "Brother Meng really takes advantage of every opportunity to exploit me. It's not enough for me to take care of his child, now he's asking my wife to take care of his child while I'm away. I think he's crazy about his daughter."

"No, it was Sister Zhen Zhen who asked me to teach them Chinese courses, so don't talk nonsense."

"Sister-in-law Zhenzhen is the core of Mengge's head. The couple is breathing the same air." Balu complained.

"Alu." Nanxi changed direction and continued to lie down, chatting with him lazily. Nannan lay on the pillow that originally belonged to Balu, sleeping soundly with only half of his tail exposed.

"Sister-in-law Zhenzhen said that she would send the two children to study in China in two years. They are still so young, and it hurts me to see them."

"I guess only Xiao will be sent over. If Jie grows up a couple of years, he'll be sent straight to the army," Baru said, lying down, raising his hand to pick up a cigarette and putting it in his mouth. "It's okay. He's much happier than me. As a man, there's no harm in enduring a little hardship."

"You have a family now, so you must take care of yourself, remember? Don't get injured in wars, and then expect me to take care of you when you are old. That's impossible." Nanxi looked at him with heartache in her eyes.

"Don't worry, honey. Even though I'm old, I still have to be the strongest old man to prevent other old men from snatching my pretty old lady away."

"Ba Xiaolu——" Nanxi was always tickled by his words. "I'm not going to talk to you anymore, you annoying guy. I'm going to sleep."

After she finished speaking, she was about to hang up the phone, and Baru became anxious.

"Honey, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't be angry." He smiled and coaxed her, then showed her side face again, "Kiss me, goodnight kiss."

Nanxi rolled her eyes at him and pouted reluctantly, "Okay, go to sleep. I have to get up early for work tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Baru couldn't sleep.

I haven't seen Nan Xiaoxi for half a month, and I'm almost going crazy.

He raised his hand to pick up the tablet, opened the satellite map and began to think, this war must be fought as soon as possible, who the hell can survive it.

…

The next morning, before daybreak, Balu's cell phone rang.

When I saw the caller ID above, my heart skipped a beat.

Sister-in-law Zhen Zhen called him at this time, something must have happened.

I quickly pressed the answer button, "Sister-in-law, what happened?"

"Alu." Ouyang Zhen's voice was filled with unprecedented panic. "Your brother Meng said last night that he was rushing back from Naypyidaw, but he hasn't been heard from since he hung up the phone. He hasn't been seen since. Song Cai and the captain of the guard who were with him can't be contacted. Could something have happened to him?"

Baru Jun's face tensed instantly. "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'll get someone to contact you."

He paused, "Sister-in-law, in case of any changes, please prepare. I will arrange for you, Ajie, and Axiao to return to China first, and then pick you up when Brother Meng comes back."

"No, A-Lu." Ouyang Zhen refused flatly, "I have to wait for A-Meng and protect this home for him. I can't leave at the slightest sign of trouble. I'm not that weak."

"Sister-in-law." Baru's Adam's apple moved. "Wherever you and the two children are, that's where Mengge's home is. I do this so that Mengge has no worries. Only when you are all okay can he feel at ease. Listen to me first, okay?"

Ouyang Zhen knew how much Wu Meng trusted Ba Lu, even closer than a brother. She thought for a few seconds and said, "Okay, Ba Lu, I'll send someone to pick up A Jie first."

"Okay, hurry up, sister-in-law."

After Baru finished speaking, he hung up the phone and called Natu, asking him to take people to pick up Ouyang Zhen. Afterwards, he notified the informant in Naypyidaw and mobilized everyone to search for Wu Meng's whereabouts.

Just as we finished the arrangements, Hong Jin called.

"Brother Jin."

"Alu, have you contacted Ah Meng?" Hong Jin went straight to the point.

"We're looking for him. The incident happened suddenly, and we might not be able to contact him for a while. However, Brother Meng is surrounded by experts, and we haven't heard any news of a gunfight in Naypyidaw. He should be fine." Baru said in a deep voice.

"Yeah." Hong Jin responded, "This is most likely done by Sa Kun. You go find someone first. I'll have my people bring Ouyang Zhen and the two children over."

"I've already sent someone to pick me up in Yangon. I'll arrange my current affairs and fly over right away."

"Okay." Hong Jin paused. "Call me if you need anything. My mercenary team on a private island in the Andaman Sea is on standby 24 hours a day, ready to launch live ammunition at any time. You can mobilize at any time."

"It's not convenient for your people to come over now. It will only make the situation more complicated. I will go to Yangon to stabilize the army first, and we will see about other things as we go." Balut said as he changed his clothes.

"Okay, A-lu, remember, political struggles always involve deception. When necessary, use extraordinary means."

"Remember, Brother Jin."
