As the sun sets, the sky gradually turns orange-red, bathing the entire mountain forest in a golden glow, making it appear even more mysterious and magnificent.

As night falls, all is quiet except for the occasional growl of a wild beast in the distance and the chirping of insects nearby, which intertwine to form a symphony of the night.

The starry sky is dazzling, and the Milky Way hangs low, seemingly within reach, making one intoxicated by its tranquility and vastness.

Deep within Phoenix Mountain, in a mysterious and dangerous cave, a man is running at full speed.

"Huff... Huff... Ah... Oh my god!"

Having barely escaped the tiger's den, I never expected to fall into the wolf's lair again. There really are all sorts of things in these deep mountains and forests.

The supplies they brought were all lost on the way to escape, but fortunately, it wasn't a complete loss.

Taking out the hand-drawn map from his pocket, Zhang Zhenghao carefully recorded today's route. Once he left the forest, he could report to his superiors.

After several months, the mission is finally nearing its end. Zhang Zhenghao had endured months of disguise to complete the mission, and he couldn't have imagined how difficult it was.

The woods at night are dangerous, and even when resting in a tree, Zhang Zhenghao dared not let his guard down.

Finally, dawn broke. Zhang Zhenghao didn't dare to linger for a moment and immediately quickened his pace to run down the mountain.

National Security Bureau Office

"Ring ring..."

A crisp telephone ring sounded.

A weathered hand picked up the microphone.

"Hello, I am Jiang Yanshu!"

The man's voice was very deep and hoarse, with a piercing sharpness.

Are you sure?

"Okay... I'll contact the local armed forces immediately and send people over... Okay... I understand!"

Under the dim, dappled light, a shocking scar was clearly visible on the back of the man's hand.

It was like a winding snake, silently climbing over his skin until it disappeared deep into his sleeves, vaguely bearing the marks of past storms.

This scar, though ugly and hideous, is like an indelible medal in his life, recording countless untold stories of bravery and resilience.

He slowly turned around, and at that moment, time seemed to stand still.

Viewed from the side, the man's figure was tall and handsome, as steady as a mountain and as resilient as a pine tree.

His silhouette appears even more three-dimensional in the interplay of light and shadow, with each line revealing an indescribable power and beauty that draws people's attention.

However, on his face, there is a hideous scar just like the one on the back of his hand. If you look closely, you will find that one of his eyes is also different from that of ordinary people.

The scar on his face ran diagonally down from his eye, covering most of his face, which was enough to show how dangerous the scene was.

To survive such a perilous situation is truly remarkable; one has to say, he's incredibly lucky!

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yanshu immediately summoned his subordinates and made arrangements for what had just happened.

Standing by the window, looking at the distant starry sky, I thought of the woman who had always been hidden in my heart.

His back view was filled with loneliness. Jiang Yanshu was seriously wounded on the battlefield and was unexpectedly saved by a doctor.

However, the military was unaware of the specific circumstances at the time, and by a twist of fate, they reported his death in battle.

His injuries were so severe that he was in a coma for a whole month. After waking up, he suffered from amnesia. It took him more than three years to finally return to the army.

After regaining his memory, he went to Suzhou immediately, but by then, his beloved had already married someone else and had a child.

My life has been dedicated to the country, and I can no longer dedicate it to you, especially since you have already found a better match.

Touching the scars on her face and the missing eye, Jiang Yanshu could only leave alone in sorrow.

I just didn't expect...

I recalled the information my subordinates had sent me a few days ago, including a photo of a young girl who bore a striking resemblance to my sweetheart.

After a thorough investigation, Jiang Yanshu discovered that this was actually his daughter.

Looking at the information his subordinates sent over later, Jiang Yanshu felt even more remorseful.

He never imagined that his momentary cowardice and avoidance would cause his beloved to die of illness and his own daughter to suffer endless torment!

If he could do it all over again, he would risk losing his military uniform and his life to bring his lover and children back to his side.

It's a pity... the beauty has passed away...

Thankfully... my daughter is still alive...

Jiang Yanshu pulled an old photograph out of her breast pocket and kept stroking it with her fingers.

He will make up for all the debts he owes to his lover by giving them to his daughter. It's a good opportunity for the father and daughter to meet during this operation.

He just didn't know if his daughter would accept his existence as her father. Thinking of this, Jiang Yanshu, who was always decisive and ruthless, began to feel uneasy again.

After finishing breakfast, Jiang Xile, from the Progress Brigade, still couldn't resist going for a walk on the mountain. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the gate, he heard a notice broadcast over the loudspeaker.

"Attention all members!"

"Attention all members!"

"Attention all members! Due to special circumstances, the back mountain must now be closed off. No one is allowed to go up the mountain without permission. Anyone caught doing so will be dealt with as an espionage offender."

Villagers who need firewood can cut wood near the grove by the river, but please be careful not to damage the main trunks. Please inform each other if you hear this.

From this moment on, all commune members, including educated youth, are strictly prohibited from going up the mountain without permission.

Those who went up the mountain earlier will be escorted back to the village by designated personnel, so please don't panic!

The loudspeaker repeated the announcement three times in a row. Jiang Xile awkwardly withdrew her right foot, which had already stepped out the door. This Shan Ke was always interrupting her whenever she made a move.

"Oh well, whatever, if I don't want to go, I don't want to go!"

Remembering the fabric she bought in Sweet City last time, Jiang Xile pushed her bicycle out of the house and headed straight for the commune!

If we can't go up the mountain, surely going to the commune shouldn't be a problem!

After leaving the educated youth settlement and heading straight for the main road, Jiang Xile noticed a truck that had just driven by in the distance, carrying many soldiers.

"Good heavens, could there be a treasure hidden in this back mountain?!"

Considering Zhang the Hunter's strange behavior before, and the broadcast announcement just now, Jiang Xile immediately guessed that something must have happened here!

However, with the intervention of the military, the matter should be resolved quickly. These are issues that a mere educated youth like her cannot meddle in.

Turning her gaze away, Jiang Xile happily rode her bicycle straight towards the commune!
