She hated it, resented it, and was unwilling to accept it. But no matter how much she hated it, resented it, or was unwilling to accept it, what could she do? This was her and her daughter's fate. They were destined to be chess pieces, a chess piece that could be discarded at any moment. She could not change it, nor could she break free.

Her silent contemplation gave An Ran an opportunity. She continued, "I can see you're unwilling to accept this. You must have a story to tell! If you're willing, you can talk to me. I'd be happy to listen."

Colonel Zhou, who was sitting next to him, nodded in admiration and said, "Cao Kun, your wife is truly remarkable. She's skilled, capable, and smart. She even knows how to win over people's hearts!"

Cao Kun smiled proudly and said, "Of course, my wife is just that amazing, cute and beautiful."

The other people rolled their eyes at his smug look and really wanted to give him a good beating.

Muzi Yanghui and Anran looked at each other for a few minutes. Youyou said, "My daughter is five years older than you. Although she is not as smart as you, she is not much worse."

Hearing her mention her daughter, An Ran was startled. When she was arresting someone, she didn't see anyone else? How could there be another daughter? Could her daughter have been in the house at the time? Did she see her appear out of thin air? Damn, this was such a big mistake!

Just when she was feeling frustrated, Mu Ziyanghui's next words made her frustration completely disappear.

Then I heard Muzi Yanghui say: "My daughter, although not as beautiful as you, is not bad either. It's a pity that she can never eat with me, take a walk with me, and miss home with me! Twenty years ago, because of the war, we came to a foreign country. Believe it or not, my daughter and I didn't want to come here.

But if we didn't come, we would have died. Who wouldn't want to live when facing death? After arriving, I was assigned a mission: to fight while caring for my daughter. After our country was defeated, I thought I could return home and live a peaceful life. But my daughter and I were abandoned. My husband died in the war, and no one cared about us.

I couldn't return home, and I didn't know how to survive here. But it wasn't until that person appeared that we realized we weren't abandoned. Instead, we had to stay here and continue fighting, just from above ground to underground. My ten-year-old daughter and I were left to cling to that person. Even if I didn't want to fight anymore, there was no other way.

Perhaps that person saw that I was about to back down, so he took my daughter away. I didn't want to continue, but for my daughter, for my only family in a foreign country, I had to continue. This way, as long as I completed each mission well, I would see my daughter once.

After seeing her several times, I noticed many wounds on her body. My daughter also said that the man was training her, teaching her how to fight and kill, and that if she didn't do well, they would beat her. I was no match for them and couldn't rescue my daughter, so I could only tell her to do her best. Because that's the same training we've received since we were young. If we do well, we'll be punished less."

At this point, Muzi Yanghui closed her eyes in pain, as if she was remembering something bad. An Ran just looked at her quietly, without asking any questions or disturbing her.

After a long time, so long that An Ran thought she would stop talking, she spoke again. She said, "I originally thought that as long as my daughter and I were obedient, nothing bad would happen. But on my daughter's eighteenth birthday, I completed my mission and went to see her. I saw her in a mess, covered in wounds and with a hollow look in her eyes. There was also blood between her legs.

I instantly understood what had happened. I held my daughter and screamed at the top of my lungs, demanding, "Why? We've been so obedient, doing whatever we were told to do. Why are you treating my daughter like this?"

But all I got was the next mission, and I was dragged out. Then I heard them laughing as they pounced on my daughter like hungry wolves. No matter how hard I tried, even yelling outside, I couldn't stop them.

An Ran interrupted her and said, "That's not a reason for you to harm others. The people who harmed you and your daughter were your comrades. But you turned around and harmed us, people who had never harmed you. You are no match for them, but you should understand that it is easier to dodge an open spear than to guard against an arrow from the dark. After all, you have been in our country for many years, you should know this, right?

If I were you, I'd know I'm no match for them, but I wouldn't do it openly. Even tigers have their naps, so I can attack them from behind. Even if I can't survive, I'll go to hell with them. But what about you? You harmed us to protect your daughter, but did you achieve your goal?

Muzi Yanghui retorted: "I want my daughter to be alive. Only when she is alive can she see hope, and only then will there be hope, right?"

An Ran burst into laughter, and as she laughed, she burst into laughter. Colonel Zhou, who was sitting next to her, asked, "Cao Kun, your wife, what's wrong? Is this so funny?"
