"You dare touch Da Huang and see what happens," Yan Lin said coldly.

The person bitten by the dog was Chen Kaishui, Zhou Wen's most capable assistant.

He was originally a communications soldier.

After retiring, he drove for Zhou Wen, specifically to run errands.

On the surface, he's a driver.

But in fact, Chen Kaishui was practically Zhou Wen's secretary. He entrusted Zhou Wen not only with matters when he went out, but also with all the trivial matters at home.

Zhou Wen relied on him quite a bit.

At first, Yan Lin was still somewhat unsure.

As soon as Da Huang opened his mouth, he almost locked onto Chen Kaishui.

He's probably a spy.

I don't know who's online...

"Why are you here? We just had a meeting to discuss the Jiang family's affairs, and you came right after. Did you get wind of something? Hahahaha—" Commander Yan Song from the team joked with a smile.

He shares the same surname as Yan Lin, but they are not related by blood at all.

Rumors are circulating that Yan Lin is his son.

He didn't shy away from it, always laughing and saying, "Good, good, I've gotten a promising son for free, nothing could be better."

So he actually took on the role of a father and started arranging a wife for Yan Lin.

Yan Lin had a fierce look on his face.

He said coldly, "I received an anonymous tip that someone is abducting women, so I came to the village to investigate. Commander, gather them together and let them go after I've finished searching them."

Yan Song was taken aback.

But he was the most supportive of Yan Lin's work, and without hesitation told Zhou Wen, "You make arrangements to gather everyone at the dojo; we can't leave anyone out."

"yes!"

Zhou Wen acted immediately.

"Political Commissar, Political Commissar, look at my hand, it's been bitten by a dog like this, how am I supposed to drive? Waaah, you have to stand up for me—" Chen Kaishui cried.

Zhou Wen was extremely annoyed.

He reassured Chen Kaishui: "Don't be afraid. This big yellow dog may be fierce, but it won't bite people for no reason. Your hand is injured. I just sent someone to fetch the village doctor so he can apply some medicine for you."

"But--"

Chen Kaishui wondered, what if Da Huang went mad? Would he get rabies...?

Unfortunately, Zhou Wen couldn't pay attention to him; he had already started working.

Yan Lin wasn't worried about Chen Kaishui running away. He only had Zou Xiaozhou keep an eye on him, while he himself, along with Da Huang and two wolfhounds, searched each house one by one.

Finally, in a room, they actually found Xu Manzhi's old clothes...

As he pondered who had done it and where Xu Manzhi had been hidden, a frantic yet melodious shout came from outside.

"Yan Lin, Yan Lin, where are you?"

Woof woof woof—

Big Yellow dashed out of the house.

Yan Lin lifted his leg and buried himself under the wooden threshold.

Under the sunlight, outside the dilapidated stone house, a girl wearing a white shirt and black pants stood with a rosy face, radiating youthful energy. The wind blew through her black hair, and her eyes and brows were expressive.

His heart was pounding wildly.

His eyelids remained open, refusing to close for a long time, as if afraid that the girl in front of him would disappear if he blinked.

On his deathbed, the image that appeared in his mind wasn't his parents, his commander, or even his brothers and sisters, but rather... her...

In the blink of an eye, it felt like a lifetime had passed.

His eyes were fixed on her.

Xu Manzhi jumped over, looked him up and down, her eyes twitched, and asked a question that made him extremely embarrassed: "You weren't taken advantage of, were you?"

Yan Lin grinned.

A soft feeling welled up in his heart, and he asked in a loose voice, "You're worried about me?"

Xu Manzhi rolled her eyes at him.

She readily admitted, "Of course, you're my man, the husband I'll spend my life with. Who else would I care about if not you?"

Regardless of what the calamity is or when it arrives.

She must seize control of her own destiny.

After all, the paper doll was standing right in front of her; Yan Lin wasn't just a name, but a vivid, flesh-and-blood man.

The husband she chose.

Don't let go.

Never let up.

Even if it means death, she wants to take him with her.

Yan Lin was immediately moved. For the first time in his life, he uncontrollably raised his hand and touched her smooth face, saying emotionally, "I'm so glad you're alright, otherwise I wouldn't forgive myself."

Xu Manzhi didn't care about any of that.

She threw herself into his arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and rubbed her head against him. To show her timid nature, she tilted her head back and said weakly, "I'm really scared. You can't leave me."

ah.

Hearing the woman's tender words, Yan Lin's heart melted.

His hands, which had been bound, gently fell and rubbed her shoulders, feeling the woman's softness. His voice was hoarse as he said, "I have already submitted a marriage application to the organization. As long as you pass the political review and the higher-ups approve, we can get a marriage certificate without having to go to the registration office."

Silly girl, does she think that military marriages are like Zhou Xiangqun's, where you get a marriage certificate?

I hadn't noticed this before.

He didn't want to hold her back, so the marriage registration never actually happened.

Now that I think about it carefully, I realize that his girl was a bit silly.

Such an innocent and naive girl needs his protection.

"Really? Really?" Xu Manzhi jumped up excitedly.

She always carries her household registration booklet with her.

"Don't you need this? I always carry it with me." She took out her household registration booklet and asked.

puff.

Yan Lin couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She's so impatient.

So cute!

He blushed slightly and said, "We'll bring it up with you when we get to the process stage; it's not needed for now."
