The exam lasted two days. Fortunately, I haven't slacked off in my studies, so I shouldn't fail.

When Lin Chuchu got out of school, she went out to eat with Li Sisi. The two chatted for a long time. It was the first time Li Sisi had drunk alcohol, and she hugged Lin Chuchu and cried.

After all, she liked Wang Hao back then; otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to meet Wang Hao's parents.

But... in the end, all she got was manipulation.

The three members of the family are all employees, and it's not like they can't afford the bride price. If they really have difficulties, they can accept a smaller amount.

But the family of three plotted against her, wanting her to lose her virginity to Wang Hao and to covet her family's money.

Lin Chuchu simply stayed quietly by her side, not saying much, and listened attentively to her story.

After they had almost finished eating, Li Sisi's older brother came to pick her up and carried her on his back, glancing at Lin Chuchu with concern.

"Wait here for a while, I'll take Sisi back and then come back to take you."

It's not safe for a woman to go home alone late at night.

Lin Chuchu smiled and shook her head, "No need, my family will come to pick me up."

Lin Chuchu had also drunk a little wine. When she saw them off, cold winds from all directions rushed into her clothes.

I'm mostly sober now.

There weren't many people on the streets; after all, it was the dead of winter, and most people preferred to stay in their warm beds at home.

The guard walked up to her with a coat and handed it to her.

Lin Chuchu felt a little better after putting on her coat.

"Much better, thank you."

Lin Chuchu sincerely thanked her.

The two walked back one after the other. Lin Chuchu didn't plan to go back to her maternal grandmother's house to avoid worrying her family, so she went to her and Mu Chen's small home instead.

After washing her face and brushing her teeth, Lin Chuchu's eyelids were drooping. She had been busy lately and hadn't rested since returning home. She had also taken exams, and her body had been working non-stop. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

In the middle of the night, Lin Chuchu sensed someone beside her. Her long-term exercise instantly woke her up.

Meng sat up, threw the pillow next to him over, and was ready to take out the watermelon knife from his spatial storage at any moment.

Her eyes were cold, and all the muscles in her body were tense.

"Hehe, Chuchu, you're quite vigilant."

A gentle and magnetic voice rang out, and Lin Chuchu was stunned, then her body gradually relaxed.

Her eyes were fixed on the figure at the head of the bed, and her eyes immediately reddened.

"Brother Chen, is that really you? You're back?"

After saying that, she rushed towards him and hugged him tightly.

Mu Chen reached out and patted her head.

"Yes, I came back this time to see you and the child. I have to leave in a bit. I snuck out."

Lin Chuchu's heart tightened. "You...you're still leaving...is it dangerous?"

Mu Chen shook his head. "It's okay, I can handle it. I just went to see the child's maternal grandmother and parents, but I didn't have time to talk to them. I was afraid that if they showed their emotions, it would be dangerous."

When Mu Chen mentioned her maternal grandmother, Lin Chuchu lowered her head. "I'm sorry, Grandpa... when he passed away, I told him that you were an undercover agent, and he passed away peacefully."

Knowing that his grandson was not a traitor, the grandfather passed away with a smile on his face. He just didn't get to see his grandson one last time. I wonder if the old man was disappointed.

Mu Chen gripped her hand tightly and gave a muffled "hmm".

He had just found out, and his heart was pounding with anxiety. He thought painfully, "If only I hadn't gone undercover."

"If you had come back a few days earlier or later, you might not have seen me. I'm in the lab right now, helping researchers with their work. I might not even be back for Chinese New Year this year."

Last year, the whole family was reunited, but this year, Grandpa is missing, Lin Chuchu is missing, and Mu Chen's fate is unknown. Fortunately, there are still two children to keep the elderly company.

The two talked for a total of ten minutes before Mu Chen had to leave again.

Lin Chuchu watched him leave reluctantly, then sat quietly on the bed, her gaze involuntarily falling on the spot where Mu Chen had just been sitting, feeling a sense of emptiness in her heart.

The room was eerily quiet. Turning her head to glance at the dark night, she silently prayed that Mu Chen would be safe and sound.

Mu Chen was able to return to China this time by smuggling himself across the border. However, he wasn't the only one to return; several other DF members also came back.

"Our Brother Mu is back. Did you see your little sweetheart? I thought you would stay in your sweetheart's arms and not want to get up."

The group burst into laughter.

Mu Chen did not answer, and sat expressionlessly next to the group.

When to make a move?

Mu Chen asked in a cold voice.

They came to China with a purpose: to kill two men who betrayed their boss.

"No rush, it doesn't start until the day after tomorrow."

Mu Chen worked under the boss and made a lot of efforts to gain the boss's trust.

This time I finally had the chance to go back to China and see my family.

He didn't lie to the boss; he told them directly that he was going to see his family. So he didn't hide from anyone when he went out. He knew that someone was following him, just like they knew that Lin Chuchu had bodyguards protecting her.

They won't stop him, nor will they help him; whether he can see her or not is entirely up to Mu Chen himself.

Mu Chen nodded and said to them.

"I'm going to sleep. Keep your voices down or the neighbors will report you for carrying weapons."

"Don't worry, Brother Mu, we'll go to sleep in a bit."

Mu Chen didn't speak, he just looked at the playing cards on the table and the scattered beer bottles on the floor, without saying a word.

"Brother Xiao, why are you being so polite to him? He used to be a policeman. The boss told us to keep an eye on him. He might have just gone to deliver a message."
