Chapter 43 If you like someone, just be a normal person.

“Speak! Otherwise I have the right to take you to court.”

He was deliberately intimidating people.

He changed his stance and moved closer to Su Meng.

Su Meng frowned and took a step to the side, still looking straight ahead, and said in a muffled voice, "I found it. I found it on the ship with the notebook."

After boarding the ship last night, she put on this large backpack that was just big enough to hold her sniper rifle.

Anyway, she boarded the ship with the notebook first, and no one saw what she took.

Huo Zhenhua picked up her backpack with one finger and stared at her intently. "Really? I'm going to investigate!"

He found Su Meng's behavior suspicious.

She was clearly a weak woman who had returned from studying abroad, but suddenly she knew how to rebel against her "family".

Moreover, they were able to hit the bullseye quickly and accurately, revealing the true colors of Shen Wuyang and Zhong Cuilin one after another, and bringing them to justice.

The girl who was trembling when she jumped from the second floor was able to remain calm in the face of danger after just a few days, and was able to fire back and risk her life to save him.

What's even more puzzling is that she seems to know his whereabouts and has always been within his mission area.

What exactly does she want to do?

Su Meng turned her head and met his deep gaze. His questioning thoughts echoed in her mind, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.

She crossed her arms and met his gaze with a nonchalant air. "Want to investigate? Then go ahead and investigate!"

When a person is driven to the brink of despair, if they don't fight back, they're doomed.

Is it difficult to shoot a gun?

Considering she studied mechanical engineering, if she doesn't even have this much practical skill, she might as well go home and embroider.

She consciously forgot the embarrassment of handling a gun for the first time, feeling unfamiliar and clueless, flustered and fearful, her hands trembling so much that she almost couldn't hold the heavy pistol.

"Commander Huo, I won't disturb you from enjoying the scenery."

She left gracefully and decisively, without even glancing at the sullen-faced Huo Zhenhua.

Huo Zhenhua turned around and leaned against the railing, one hand casually resting on the railing, the other fiddling with a metal lighter. He bent one long leg and sneered, "Feeling guilty now?"

Su Meng paused, then tossed a bottle of powder behind her. "This powder can promote wound healing and relieve inflammation and pain."

"I won't thank you enough; we're even now."

Huo Zhenhua: "......"

Was he rejected again?

If you can't see her eyes, you can't hear her heart.

No! He absolutely cannot let her leave like this.

Just because she hasn't done anything illegal or disorderly now doesn't mean she won't in the future.

The safest way is to keep her under your watchful eye so that you can stop and correct her in time.

Huo Zhenhua followed Su Meng into the cabin, watched her enter her room, and then turned and went to the captain's cabin.

He weighed the modified sniper rifle in his hand and decided to report Su Meng's situation to his superiors.

When Commander Tang of the Southeast Military Region heard that Su Meng had only made a last-minute modification to extend the range of the sniper rifle, he was so surprised that his voice rose by two or three decibels.

"What? Is it really that amazing?"

They did consider improving the range and accuracy of the gun, and even thought about working on its external structure, but repeated experiments yielded less than ideal results.

Huo Zhenhua said calmly, "I saw it with my own eyes! The range at that time was about 700 meters, and we were using the Type 97 sniper rifle."

Before he could finish speaking, Commander Tang slammed his hand on the table, his voice booming, "The Type 97 has a maximum range of only 600 meters. 700 meters! How did you manage that?"

Huo Zhenhua, I order you to bring the men and guns back as soon as possible. I want to see them with my own eyes.

With a simple modification, the firing range can be increased by 100 meters, which greatly increases the chances of winning against the enemy.

This means an increase in combat power.

This is the dream they have been chasing with all their might.

"But Su Meng is someone the Shanghai Machinery Research Institute specifically requested. Is it appropriate for us to do this?"

Huo Zhenhua asked this question on purpose.

If he wanted to keep Su Meng under his watchful eye, he couldn't let her go to Shanghai; he could only bring her back to the military region.

As for dealing with the Shanghai Machinery Research Institute, it was most appropriate for Commander Tang to step in.

Commander Tang immediately made the decision, "This is the person our military region needs. He can go cool off at the Mechanical Research Institute."

Dozens or even hundreds of researchers, are they all just sitting around doing nothing? They can't even figure out how to use a generator! It's utterly shameful!

Huo Zhenhua: "......"

His superior seemed to ignore the fact that even thousands of men in his legion couldn't figure out a weapon as vital as life itself, yet he looked down on the researchers.

hehe!

As always... domineering!

"yes!"

Hearing Huo Zhenhua's words, Commander Tang smiled with relief.

He said earnestly, "It is said that the girl is only eighteen years old, in the prime of her life, and has no relatives at home."

I see you're not getting any younger, why don't you write a marriage proposal, then you'll have a son and a daughter, making a perfect "good" character.

He made it up casually, but as he thought about it, he felt the plan was feasible.

Seeing that Huo Zhenhua did not speak, he smiled and advised, "Men should marry when they are of age, and women should marry when they are of age. This is a matter of course."

What, you rough-and-tumble guy trying to be picky?

Huo Zhenhua was stunned by what Commander Tang said.

How did we end up talking about his marriage?

Weren't they talking about transferring Su Meng to the military region?

"Uh..." He was about to refuse when the image of the Chinese medicine he had taken that day suddenly flashed into his mind, and he felt his face flush, his heart race, and his throat tighten.

But she was Nie Ronghua's childhood sweetheart, and he couldn't bring himself to steal her away.

Thinking of this, a bitter feeling welled up in my heart.

"She's a very good girl, I'm not good enough for her." He blurted out these words and hung up the phone without hesitation.

For some reason, he didn't want to reveal the relationship between Su Meng and Nie Ronghua.

Thinking of Su Meng's cold and disdainful look, he paused in his play with the lighter, and looked out the window with a wry smile.

Ha! Even if he wanted to take responsibility, the other party probably wouldn't care.

If she's willing, then we'll file for marriage that time.

Su Meng had no idea that her destination had been arranged in such a short time.

She had a wonderful nap in the space and then took a book out of it.

After all, they were still on the ship, and she didn't want to be discovered missing and then interrogated relentlessly.

Books are wonderful things; she was completely absorbed in them in a second, until there was a knock on the door.

"Su Meng, let's disembark."

Huo Zhenhua has always called her "Su Meng" and has never called her "Comrade Su" or "Comrade Su Meng".

Seeing his familiar manner, Wang Qinglin lowered his hand from knocking and took two steps back.

She looked at Huo Zhenhua strangely, "You came to call for help, why did you drag me to knock on the door?"

That's unnecessary!

Huo Zhenhua glanced at him and said, "You're too idle!"

Wang Qinglin turned his head speechlessly, "...Thank you!"

Su Meng opened the door and saw two men standing awkwardly in front of her. "Didn't we say we were going to disembark? What's the matter?"

Huo Zhenhua looked at her, his eyes filled with emotions that others could not understand.

Su Meng didn't look at him, so she naturally didn't notice anything unusual about him.

She shoved Huo Zhenhua aside, grabbed her backpack straps with both hands, and walked away on her own.

Huo Zhenhua remained in the position where she had pushed him aside, leaning against the door, and said quietly, "Don't you think she's particularly impatient? I don't think I've offended her."

Wang Qinglin turned around with amusement and said matter-of-factly, "With your mouth, you've hurt people countless times without even realizing it. Haha! You haven't offended anyone?!"

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped and stared intently at Huo Zhenhua. "Commander, if you like her, then be a normal person."

Immediately, Huo Zhenhua's aura hardened, and his eyebrows shot up. "Don't talk nonsense! I didn't say that."
