Shen Yuanyi was also unwilling to let Lu Chen go, as the designated personnel this time were not something he could decide.

"Yes, sir."

Lu Chen didn't ask any more questions; resolute obedience was a soldier's duty.

"Go ahead." Shen Yuanyi stood in front of Lu Chen and gently patted Lu Chen's shoulder.

Lu Chen saluted the leaders and then left.

"What exactly are you planning to do? Judging from your expression, it seems dangerous?" Liao Heshan asked curiously.

Shen Yuanyi glanced at Liao Heshan and said, "How would I know? When I came back from the meeting in Beijing, the order I received was to send Lu Chen to the Beijing area. His materials had already been extracted by the leaders. As for what they were going to do, I really don't know."

Since Shen Yuanyi has said that, he certainly won't ask any further questions.

Lu Chen left the chief's office and returned to the family compound. Seeing that it was time for Shen Qiaoyue to get off work, he rode his bicycle to pick her up.

As soon as Shen Qiaoyue got off work, she saw Lu Chen already waiting at the door, just like usual.

"Brother Chen!" Shen Qiaoyue walked over, clutching her stomach, and took Lu Chen's hand, saying, "Brother Chen, I got paid today. Tomorrow is the weekend, let's take Lu He to the city for a nice meal."

Shen Qiaoyue has been working at the factory for two months, earning seventy yuan a month.

When she received the money, Shen Qiaoyue was overjoyed.

"I probably can't go tomorrow, honey. I have to go on a mission tonight. I'll go with you next time I get back, okay?" Lu Chen looked at Shen Qiaoyue with reluctance in his eyes.

"Going on another mission?" When Shen Qiaoyue heard that Lu Chen was going on a mission, a hint of disappointment flashed across her face, but she quickly recovered and said, "It's okay, you go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back."

"Okay, get in the car." Lu Chen drove his wife back as usual.

Shen Qiaoyue sensed the atmosphere of parting and remained silent throughout.

When Lu He returned home, she had already prepared the meal.

Lu Chen didn't say anything during the meal, and after finishing, he quietly went to wash the dishes and do chores.

After washing the dishes and returning to the room, I saw that Shen Qiaoyue was already helping me pack my luggage.

Lu Chen said, "You can just sit here, wife, I'll take care of everything myself."

Taking the folded shirt from Shen Qiaoyue's hand, Lu Chen dared not look directly into Shen Qiaoyue's eyes.

Shen Qiaoyue watched Lu Chen pack his bags, but instead of comforting herself as before.

"No matter how busy you are at work, remember to eat and take care of yourself. I'll take care of things at home." Even though she was reluctant, Shen Qiaoyue had to watch Lu Chen leave.

Lu Chen nodded gently and said, "Yes, don't worry, wife, I will."
