Wen Mo glanced at it and raised an eyebrow.

He was thinking about his son-in-law, whom he had never met, who seemed to be no ordinary person either.

Chu Xiaonian showed him the victory report and commendations. Qin Yushen's Black Panther Commando Team had annihilated a small enemy force that had crossed the border of our country, giving them a great shock. They had also captured a group of antique smugglers, and all the antiques were sent to the Y Province Museum.

A diplomatic battle between the two countries has begun. Vietnam has ignored warnings, repeatedly crossed the border to provoke, moved boundary markers without authorization, and occupied territory.

This victory serves as both a deterrent and a warning.

According to intelligence from the National Security Bureau, Vietnam is conducting a large-scale military mobilization, recruiting soldiers to expand its army, and weapons and ammunition supplied by the United States are also arriving in Vietnam one after another.

The current practice of sending small units to conduct reconnaissance and sabotage in China's border areas serves two purposes: firstly, to gather intelligence on terrain, outposts, and troop movements; and secondly, to gradually erode Chinese territory by creating friction and causing disruption.

They just didn't expect that China was prepared, evacuating the residents of the border villages in advance and sending an elite special forces unit to engage them in a protracted struggle in the deep mountains and forests.

The E country also realized that their special agent mission had failed. Not only did they fail to catch China off guard, but they also died before they even got started.

The mouse was swatted back as soon as it peeked out, and it probably won't be satisfied with that.

It will take time for a large number of troops to arrive at the border, and diplomatic negotiations must also be taken into account.

Before this, they had been testing each other and engaging in minor friction.

Lin Xiaoxiao was also very happy to see the good news, but judging from the battle situation, Qin Yushen would not be able to return for a while, so she sighed.

During the meal, Wen Mo and Chu Weinian, the two brothers, sat together.

The three were very close friends when they were young, and after not seeing each other for twenty years, they naturally had a lot to talk about.

Wen Mo felt a pang of jealousy when Lin Xiaoxiao recognized Chu Weinian as her godfather, but he was mostly happy. After all, Chu Weinian was different now; he had become a favorite of the big boss.

In any case, it's beneficial for Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao remembered that Qin Yushen had brought back a bottle of medicinal wine that he said Song Shaohua had gotten, which was supposed to be good for health and made with a lot of precious medicinal herbs.

So he put down his chopsticks and went to get the bottle of wine.

"What is this?" Chu Wuyan asked, seeing her holding a small jar.

"Wine." Lin Xiaoxiao opened the lid, and a rich aroma of wine wafted out. "Would you like some?"

She was asking about Chu Wuyou's brothers.

"You can tell it's good wine just by the smell." Chu Wuyou works at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and occasionally has to attend social events, so he has drunk quite a bit of wine.

Intrigued, he handed over his cup, saying, "I'd like one, thank you."

Chu Wuyan joined in the fun and asked for half a cup, while Chu Wuyi clamored to drink as well, but Lin Xiaoxiao ruthlessly refused.

As for Chu Wujin, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't dare to give him any.

"Second Uncle, is it good?" Xiao Bao felt dizzy just from the aroma of the wine. He leaned against Chu Wuyou and stared intently at his wine glass.

Chu Wuyou picked up a chicken leg for him and told him to hold it and gnaw on it, while saying, "It doesn't taste good."

That's a lie.

Chu Xiaobao is a smart child.

If it really didn't taste good, why would my second and third uncles drink it? They must drink it because it tastes good.

Seeing his disbelief, Chu Wuyan decided to tease him and dipped some chopsticks in the water, letting him suck on it a couple of times.

The spiciness made Xiao Bao's face scrunch up, and he stuck out his tongue.

"Hahaha..." This made everyone laugh.

Tang Jie pinched Chu Wuyan in annoyance, picked up Xiao Bao and fed him some water. "Ignore your third uncle, he's just unreliable. Oh my goodness, look at his red face, don't get drunk."

Wan Fen, the grandmother, accepted it well. "It's okay if he gets drunk. This little guy is very curious. He wants to eat whatever the adults eat."

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled when she saw Chu Xiaobao's face turn as red as a plateau.

Carrying the small wine jar, I went to Wen Mo's table.

"Dad, you guys drink this." Although she didn't drink it, she could tell from the smell that the wine was very good.

"Okay." Wen Mo took it.

Uncle definitely couldn't drink it, but Grandpa Chu could. He waved the fragrant medicinal wine in front of Uncle, deliberately making him envious.

"Wow, this wine is excellent! It's fragrant, rich, and has a stimulating flavor..."

The uncle smelled the alcohol and felt a little tempted, but he knew that his body was not suitable for drinking.

She glared at Old Master Chu with annoyance, "Just drink yours."

After finishing our meal, we sat together and drank some tea to aid digestion, while also discussing business.

Wen Mo didn't stand on ceremony with Chu Weinian and directly told him about Wen Shiyu's plan to donate money to the Ministry of Finance, asking him to act as a go-between.

"How much to donate?" Chu Weinian didn't care at first.

When Wen Mo revealed the exact amount, the tea she had just drunk almost spat out.

"Are you serious?" He opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

Fifty million! He donated it without hesitation, just to gain the privilege of buying a house.

And did God really let Wen Mo marry a golden nugget? He still thought the rumors from back then were all false.

"You just want to buy a house, right?" Chu Xiaonian got excited too. "Donate it to the military, I'll take care of it for you."

With war imminent, he would be more than happy to use this money for military expenses.

"Second brother, get out of the way." Chu Weinian pushed Chu Xiaonian aside, and the two good buddies put their arms around Wen Mo. He coughed before saying, "Donating money is a good thing, but you're donating so much just to buy a house? Aren't you going to mention any other conditions?"

Wen Mo understood the meaning behind his words.

He also asked Wen Shiyu, and the answer he received was that there were no other conditions to be mentioned, as the donation itself was out of support for national development.

If too many demands are made, the nature of the matter changes.

Wen Mo thought so too, and asked the extra question because it was no small sum.

He told Chu Weinian what Wen Shiyu had said, and Chu Weinian remarked with admiration, "Your wife is a woman of great integrity."

He then readily agreed, saying, "I'll get it done for you in two days at the latest."

Wen Mo slapped him on the shoulder. "Thanks."

Chu Weinian glanced at him and said, "You can contact your superiors yourself, why bother coming to me?"

Wen Mo crossed his legs. "Hmm... I need to spend time with my wife and daughter, and I also need to investigate and collect evidence of the fire at the Lu family home back then. I don't have time."

He was out all day today, and it was all about this.

Chu Xiaonian asked, "Next month is Old Master Lu's 80th birthday. Are you in such a hurry because you're planning to cause trouble on his birthday?"

"If they could take my child the day my wife gave birth, why can't I?"

Wen Mo had a cold smile on his lips, and his words were ruthless.

“Since Lu Hua became disabled, he hasn’t liked to go out. I haven’t seen him much over the years,” Chu Xiaonian said.

Chu Weinian concluded with the statement, "Therefore, one should not do anything against one's conscience."

If you do too many bad things, you will eventually be punished.

The Lu family is the most typical example.
