As the plane landed, Zhong Linyu personally held an umbrella and came to the villa entrance to greet the two.

Liu Kai's futuristic exoskeleton is quite eye-catching.

A hint of envy involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

But when he saw Liu Kai's face, which was clearly pale and lacking in vitality, he couldn't help but laugh out loud with a mocking expression.

After everyone fastened their seatbelts, the plane slowly took off and flew eastward.

Zhong Linyu then smiled and patted Liu Kai's steel shoulder.

His expression revealed genuine relief.

After all, when people from the war zone came before, he was genuinely worried that Liu Kai might encounter some misfortune.

"I'm telling you, you're not being fair. You came back to Fenghai and didn't even come to see us. You just plunged into your own little world and lingered there."

At this point, he lowered his voice: "Young people, you need to learn to exercise restraint."

Upon hearing this, Qin Luofei blushed slightly, but she could only pretend to be calm and keep her eyes fixed straight ahead.

Looking at Zhong Linyu's teasing face, Liu Kai couldn't help but sigh.

This rigid, rule-abiding blockhead has somehow learned to joke around.

So he laughed and replied, "Don't worry about me, you're such a single guy at your age. You should hurry up and find a girlfriend."

If it were the old Zhong Linyu, he would most likely have said that women would only affect the speed at which he could fire a gun.

However, today he was uncharacteristically serious and nodded earnestly: "You're right, it's time."

A faint blush appeared on his old face.

This unusual action piqued Qin Luofei's curiosity.

Who would have thought that this old ironwood tree, which is about to turn 40, would actually bloom one day?

So he squinted and asked with a smile, "It seems our Staff Officer Zhong has a target in mind?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Linyu gave Liu Kai a long, wistful look.

This look left Liu Kai completely baffled.

At the same time, he thought to himself, "Could this guy actually like men? Ugh... I'd better stay away from him."

However, Zhong Linyu's next words instantly silenced the roaring cabin.

"This morning, Commander Yang brought a young girl to Fenghai. I must say, that girl is really pretty, she's my type."

"What a pity, they came for you, Consultant Liu, and didn't even give me a second glance."

Upon hearing this, Liu Kai was stunned.

Qin Luofei narrowed her eyes and stared at Liu Kai with an unfriendly expression.

"My dear Zhong, you can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want. How do you know they're after me?"

Zhong Linyu gave a meaningful look, his tone revealing a hint of sourness.

"Nonsense, the first thing that came up with when that young girl arrived at the base was, 'Is Liu Kai here?' and 'Do you know where Liu Kai is?'"

"That voice was so gentle and soft, like she'd cry if she couldn't see you, tsk tsk..."

Sensing Qin Luofei's increasingly hostile gaze, Liu Kai panicked.

He quickly interrupted Zhong Linyu, who was still lingering on the topic, saying, "Don't add fuel to the fire here. What's that girl's name?"

Zhong Linyu didn't hide anything, and said a name with a hint of reminiscence: "His surname is Feng, and his name is Feng Yuxiao."

"Holy crap?!"

Upon hearing Liu Kai's sudden exclamation, Qin Luofei and Zhong Linyu's eyes instantly became alert.

Zhong Linyu's tone was sour: "So you really do know this woman!"

Qin Luofei's eyes flashed with anger: "Tell me, what is your relationship?!"

Liu Kai's heart skipped a beat.

This is really hard to explain now.

Because this Feng Yuxiao is a member of the "Heavenly Mandate" Feng family, and is also the only daughter of the Fourth Elder.

She is said to be fair-skinned, beautiful, and have long legs, but has never been in a relationship.

During a secret phone call at the Kyoto base, Kazami said that once Liu Kai became the deputy director of the Armaments Department, he would send this woman to be his assistant.

He was called an assistant, but everyone knew he was just an informant keeping an eye on Liu Kai.

Perhaps the Feng family still harbors the idea of ​​using Mei Se to drag Liu Kai into their scheme.

At Qiu Xingzhou's behest, Liu Kai readily agreed.

I just didn't expect the appointment of the deputy director to come so quickly, and I didn't expect Feng Yuxiao to come so quickly either.

In fact, Liu Kai had been thinking for the past few days that this woman's existence would eventually be known to everyone.

He wasn't worried about Yang Hongchang, because the war zone commander, Shen Shiwei, would personally explain to him.

But the key question is, how should he explain this to Qin Luofei?

Telling the truth was definitely out of the question; Liu Kai didn't want her involved in this mess.

Fabricating lies is even worse; one lie requires more lies to cover it up, and it will inevitably be exposed one day.

Are you suggesting that I'm not high enough in rank to know these classified information?

If that's really the case, Qin Luofei would definitely skin Liu Kai alive.

So Liu Kai thought about it for seven days straight, but still couldn't come up with a solution.

Now he has no choice but to respond.

He could only grit his teeth, grab Qin Luofei's hand, and pat her on the shoulder, deciding to exchange his sincerity for hers.

At the same time, they decisively shifted the blame to Yang Hongchang.

"Feifei, there are some things I can't say right now. Uncle Yang will tell you himself when we get there."

After saying that, he immediately held up three fingers: "I assure you, I have absolutely no personal relationship with this woman!"

Hearing Liu Kai's explanation, Qin Luofei's anger subsided considerably.

But his suspicion remained: "Hmph, I'd like to hear what Uncle Yang has to say."

Just as Liu Kai breathed a sigh of relief, he noticed Zhong Linyu's face full of jealousy.

It seems he really likes Feng Yuxiao; it's the kind of love at first sight.

But the thought of Feng's unfortunate identity is enough to give anyone a headache.

If they really get involved, even if he sticks to his principles and doesn't let the Feng family win him over...

But these kinds of things are hard to explain.

When the government settles accounts with the Feng family, they will definitely rather kill three thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free.

He and Zhong Linyu had a fairly good relationship, so naturally he didn't want Zhong Linyu to get caught up in this mess.

Finally, I couldn't help but remind you: "Old Zhong, there are plenty of fish in the sea, why fixate on just one? I'm just giving you a friendly reminder, stay away from that woman surnamed Feng."

However, Zhong Linyu interpreted this well-intentioned advice as something else entirely.

She immediately scrutinized Liu Kai: "You're not planning to enjoy the blessings of having two wives, are you? We live in a monogamous country!"

Even Qin Luofei, who had already dispelled her doubts, became alert again at this moment.

Seeing this, Liu Kai couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Fine, fine, fine, I'm not saying anything more, my good intentions have been taken for granted!"

But this time, Liu Kai clearly guessed the wrong result.

Many years later.

Zhong Linyu and Feng Yuxiao are deeply in love and even have twins.

But every time they meet with Liu Kai and Qin Luofei, they bring up this incident.

She bitterly accused Liu Kai of almost breaking up their relationship.
