An elderly person and a child sat on the sofa chatting, and time quietly passed by.

The two stopped when the noise outside started, interrupting them.

"Comrade Xiao Shen, you haven't left yet. I need to talk to you about something."

As soon as Yan Bin finalized the arrest plan, he couldn't wait to find Shen Mu Ning.

I was worried she had already gone back, but when I asked Wu Shuo, I found out she was chatting with Lieutenant General Sun.

He immediately went into the office to tell her the important news.

Ji Heng walked in with him.

"Xiao Shen, we also caught a guy named Zhu Yang in Anbei County before."

Huh? Shen Mu Ning was really confused now. How come Yan Bin and the others had caught Zhu Yang?

Could it be that Zhu Yang is also a member of this organization, and they just happened to run into him contacting Deng Kai and the others?

After much thought, they realized that this was the only situation in which they would capture Zhu Yang.

"He was also a member of the organization. When we were monitoring Deng Kai and the others, he suddenly appeared outside their stronghold and we brought him back."

Yan Bin's words confirmed Shen Mu Ning's guess.

"What about the other person? Does he need me to hypnotize him?"

Someone who can make Yan Bin take this so seriously must be a tough nut to crack.

But judging from the way Zhu Yang looked to her, he didn't seem like it.

"No, he confessed a lot during interrogation, but he was found dead in his cell yesterday."

If he really needed Shen Mu Ning's help with hypnotic interrogation, he wouldn't be looking like this now.

After all, anyone who is interrogated by her will have no secrets left to hide.

The crucial point is that this person died of poisoning in the military prison, without even having the chance to be interrogated by Shen Mu Ning.

So even if they know now, there may still be secrets behind him that they have no way of knowing.

After hearing this, Shen Mu Ning also looked solemn.

"Someone poisoned him?" Her first thought was that something was wrong with someone in the military, since not just anyone could enter the military region.

"No." Upon hearing her guess, Yan Bin's face darkened for a moment before he immediately denied it.

If the person in front of him hadn't done him a huge favor and wasn't capable, he wouldn't have tolerated her and would have definitely given her a piece of his mind.

But thinking that he might need her skills later, he forced himself to endure it.

Moreover, he strongly suspected that the reason she thought of this first was because the impression left on her by the city's border guards and navy was too deep.

You can't blame her; some people just can't resist temptation and get bribed.

However, no matter what, he still needs to explain the cause of death clearly.

"The poison in his body must have been there all along, but he usually suppressed it by taking antidotes."

"The antidote expired yesterday, and he didn't take it on time, so he's doomed!"

Upon hearing Yan Bin's explanation, Shen Mu Ning and Sun Wu realized that this matter had become even more serious.

No good person or a bad person on the fringes would need such methods to control others.

"So now nobody knows what he was doing at the Johor Bahru brigade?"

“He has already confessed what he did before, which was to find the locations of some ancient tombs for the organization.”

Upon hearing Shen Mu Ning's question, Yan Bin quickly answered it.

They weren't completely ignorant, but they felt that the information he revealed wasn't worth having someone behind him poison him.

Since Xiao Shen refuses to join the army, he can stay in the Xinshan Brigade and see if he can find out anything.

"I'm telling you this so you can be more careful and see if there's anything unusual in your brigade."

Yan Bin was actually a little embarrassed to say this, since Shen Mu Ning wasn't a member of the military.

He kept asking for help.

However, considering what they learned from the educated youth office, he didn't really get close to anyone in Xinshan Brigade.

Without any clues, the only option is to remain inactive and investigate covertly.

“Okay, I…” Before Shen Mu Ning could agree, Sun Wu stopped her.

"Xiao Ning, didn't Lao Zhou say that your brigade is doing quite well?"

"Why are all the good and bad things in Xinshan Brigade? Why don't I transfer your household registration so we can leave there?"

Sun Wu was also surprised. He had just said that he would respect Shen Mu Ning's wishes and let her do whatever she wanted.

I want to back out right now.

However, his going back on his word wasn't because he broke his promise; there were reasons for everything.

"Grandpa???" Both Yan Bin and Ji Heng were puzzled when they heard this self-proclaimed grandfather.

Previously, Comrade Shen always addressed Sun Zhongjiang respectfully. When did he become someone of the grandfather's generation?!

Seemingly sensing the thoughts of the two, Sun Wu immediately got the idea to show off his child.

"Hey, our Xiao Ning is my granddaughter, isn't she? You didn't expect that, did you?"

Upon hearing this explosive news, both of them paused for a second before slowly nodding.

He had only nodded halfway when he realized: one of them was surnamed Sun and the other was surnamed Chen, how could they possibly be grandfather and grandson?

"General Sun, you don't even share the same surname, how could you possibly be father and son?"

Yan Bin remained outspoken and unafraid of being targeted.

Sun Wu rolled his eyes at him before explaining their relationship.

"Xiao Ning is my older brother's granddaughter, so rounding up, she's practically my granddaughter!"

The two of them then understood: Shen Mu Ning was Sun Wu's great-niece.

His rounding technique is really impressive; he managed to bring such a strong connection together in one fell swoop.

However, he recalled the information he had seen about Shen Mu Ning, as well as some comments left by this Lieutenant General Sun.

Once the clues are clear, Sun Wu had no children, while his elder brother, who was also Shen Mu Ning's maternal grandfather, had only one daughter.

In this generation, there is only one person who carries the blood of the Sun family and can be considered a descendant of Lieutenant General Sun.

So all things considered, there's not much to say about them calling each other grandfather and grandson.

"Really? Congratulations to Lieutenant General Sun and Comrade Xiao Shen on finding each other's families."

What else could he say besides congratulations?

"I knew Comrade Shen was so capable; it seems like a tiger father begets a tiger son."

Although the wording wasn't quite appropriate, it truly resonated with Sun Tzu.

After all, Lao Zhou had said before that Xiao Ning's temperament and strength were very similar to his.

In stark contrast to Sun Wu's relaxed and cheerful schedule, Yan Bin was filled with uncontrollable emotions.

Xiao Shen has suddenly risen to the top; it's uncertain whether he'll remain in the Xinshan Brigade.

If they were really lured to Liaoning Province by Lieutenant General Sun, it wouldn't be so convenient for them to find someone to help them in the future.

Furthermore, the situation with the Johor Bahru brigade also needs to be rearranged.
