Chapter 134 Made a Profit

"Commander Tang, we have located the site of the oil spill."

Commander Tang muttered repeatedly, "Oil spill? Where?"

He excitedly followed the direction the soldier was pointing, his lips twitching, "How could it be in the water?"

A dozen soldiers went into the water together to retrieve the iron box, and the hole that had been covered by the iron box was revealed.

A stream of black water, as thick as Su Meng's arm, flowed out from the hole in the water, surging faster and in greater quantities than the stream above the water.

"Quick! You guys come up first."

Commander Tang, unaware of the potential harm of the black crude oil to humans, hastily ordered his men to disembark.

"Let's hold this position for now and wait for the report before taking any further action."

Before Commander Tang could finish speaking, Huo Zhenhua led Wang Qinglin's group out of the cave.

They were either carrying a large wooden box or two people lifting a large object, which was very strenuous.

"Sir, these are the medical devices we're looking for." Huo Zhenhua snapped to attention and handed over a list respectfully. "The list matches perfectly, nothing is missing."

During their trip to Huangyan Island, they not only found medical equipment donated by patriotic people from Hong Kong, but also destroyed an enemy experimental base, rescued more than ten scholars from different fields, and obtained their advanced experimental equipment.

"The most crucial thing is that we found the imprisoned scholar and discovered crude oil." Commander Tang stood on the deck, hands on his hips. "Haha! Our military region has brought glory to us again."

Although they did not find the true source of the crude oil, the cave was where the crude oil had seeped in.

Following the traces of seepage, we believe we can easily find the source of the crude oil and successfully extract it.

Su Meng looked at the ship following behind them.

That was the "spoils of war" she had stored in her spatial dimension at the cave entrance and then released again less than a minute later. "Hey! Why doesn't anyone say there might be any good stuff hidden up there?"

She wouldn't admit that she felt empty after losing her "trophy," that it was purely out of curiosity.

Just like giving a red envelope as a gift, you need to know the amount inside to feel at ease.

Huo Zhenhua appeared behind her without her noticing and couldn't resist gently flicking her head. "So curious? Can I ask you how you managed to intercept it?"

Su Meng rolled her eyes at him, straightened her oversized military uniform, and said defiantly, "Why don't you try?"

As she spoke, she took out a white paper package.

She knew Huo Zhenhua would have doubts.

After all, it's unlikely that people from R country would be foolish enough to hide nearby when they're escaping in a boat.

But things happened so suddenly that she didn't have a better choice at the time.

Meeting Huo Zhenhua's deep, dark eyes, she didn't see any suspicion in him, but she did see the vortex in his eyes spinning rapidly like the eye of a hurricane, revealing the turmoil in his heart.

She sighed, then pouted, feigning sadness, "So you still doubt me!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhenhua's eyes turned serious, and he turned his head to look at her earnestly, firmly denying it, "I didn't!"

I was just thinking... your pharmaceutical skills are so good. And the way you removed the bullet from Liu Sheng was so efficient and skillful, your medical skills must be quite excellent as well.

My wife is so amazing, I'm so lucky!

He was indeed puzzled. They had chased the R-country people out for less than two minutes, yet in such a short time, the R-country people were killed, their ship was intercepted, and they were safely positioned in a blind spot behind the adjacent reef.

How did she do it?

Just like when we found her not long ago, there was the ship that suddenly appeared on the shore, and her medicine box that appeared and then disappeared.

Even though he was incredibly curious, she wouldn't say anything, and he wouldn't ask.

The main reason was that she didn't dare to ask, fearing that she would think she was being interrogated or suspected, and that the heart she had finally opened up would be ruthlessly closed again.

He respected her privacy and secrets because what she did deserved respect.

Su Meng lowered her head and chuckled softly, "You have good taste!"

The man didn't press further, and Su Meng's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

She braced her hands on the railing, leaned back against it, and looked up at the empty space.

"Why is it so hard to find someone?"

Remembering how Su Mianzhi used his old network of connections to try and find his younger brother, whom he had given away shortly after birth, but was always disappointed.

My heart sank.

Huo Zhenhua thought she was referring to Zhong Wanrou, who had been rescued, and thought, "She will come out sooner or later."

Don't worry, we've found traces of her. Perhaps one day you'll be shocked by her background.

Su Meng looked at his smooth profile with surprise, her gaze lingering on the scar behind his ear for a few seconds before she frowned in confusion. "Who are you talking about?"

She was certain that Huo Zhenhua was referring to Zhong Wanrou or the man with the scar.

"Don't you want to hear news about Zhong Wanrou? I heard that man gave your love token to Zhong Wanrou, which is also your family heirloom. Don't you want to get it back?"

He emphasized the words "token of love," his eyes fixed on Su Meng, a fleeting look of envy and jealousy flashing in them.

"Xiaomeng, we have a token of our love, you can't accept it from someone else."

He pulled out the stone gourd pendant from his chest and shook it, his tone leaving no room for argument, the last syllable of his voice carrying a coaxing tone.

Su Meng's eyes widened in surprise.

Forgive her for being too oblivious to her feelings back then; she never imagined that the stone gourd pendant Huo Zhenhua personally put on her was a token of their love.

Then, she thought of the gourd pendant she had secretly taken from him during their first meeting, and felt a little guilty.

Following the force of his finger lifting her chin, she tilted her head back to meet his gaze, and nodded emphatically, "Okay!"

Huo Zhenhua succeeded. He moved closer to her, lowered his head, and asked, "Who did you just say was hard to find?"

Su Meng: "My little brother! A little guy who was sent away right after he was born..."

The two stood on the plank, their backs against the railing; one was dressed in military green, and the other in a white, fitted vest.

The army green elbow accidentally bumped into the bronze elbow.

She paused, about to say something.

Unexpectedly, the sea breeze blew up his large military uniform, revealing half of his waist.

Her fair skin shone like a luminous pearl in the darkness, dazzling the eyes.

Huo Zhenhua instinctively helped hold down the playful hem of his shirt and asked with concern, "Are you cold? Shall I take you back to your room?"

As she spoke, she quickly glanced around and whispered, "Did you pick up your button? I'll sew it back on for you when we get back."

Upon hearing this, Su Meng stopped what she was doing, gripped the hem of her dress, and looked at him incredulously, "You really know how to sew?"

Underneath the oversized military green coat was her cotton shirt with the buttons torn off.

Without the buttons to hold it in place, the shirt hung loosely on my body, offering no warmth and no protection from the sea breeze.

It's like not wearing anything at all.

Especially... cough! The outer garment used to cover his shame is Huo Zhenhua's.

It's so loose, it looks a bit like a mini-skirt when you wear it.

When the wind blows, the hem flutters wildly, and if you're not careful, your private parts will be exposed.

She had been kidnapped and had no belongings on her, so she dared not suddenly conjure up a new set of clothes.

She wanted to get back into her own clothes as soon as possible.

Huo Zhenhua glanced at the military green outfit she was wearing and coughed lightly, "Of course!"
