"Eh."

Knowing they were discussing serious matters, Grandpa Xie and Grandma Xie took Shen Zhihuan out.

Only two grown men remained in the room. Gong Teng glanced at Shen Zhihuan's retreating figure, then turned back and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Commander, was that our future sister-in-law just now?"

Everyone in the army knew that Xie Lanshen was engaged, but Gong Teng never expected that his sister-in-law would be so beautiful and have such amazing medical skills.

Xie Lanshen lowered his eyes, his voice still faint due to his weakness.

"no."

For a fleeting moment, he truly wished she were.

After a few casual words, the two changed the subject.

Xie Lanshen asked, "Did you investigate the background of this enemy agent before you came here?"

When it came to serious matters, Gong Teng immediately became serious and reported in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.

"I had someone check. The deputy regimental commander takes your condition very seriously. After hearing that you needed a doctor, he immediately asked someone to contact Director Fang at the arsenal hospital. Dr. Huang was personally introduced by him."

"Director Fang is a veteran with a long history of service. He is a reliable person with excellent medical skills and character. That's why the deputy commander didn't put his guard up against Dr. Huang. But he never expected something like this to happen."

This matter involves many parties, and Gong Teng was momentarily at a loss.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

Xie Lan pondered for a moment, then decisively ordered: "After escorting Dr. Huang back to the unit, you immediately submit a report to your superiors about this matter."

"Yes, I will definitely do as you instruct."

Gong Teng responded and then asked, "But, should we keep this from the deputy commander?"

Xie Lanshen shook his head without hesitation: "No need. This matter has nothing to do with the deputy commander."

They were all from the same unit and had been through thick and thin together for so long, so Xie Lanshen naturally understood the deputy regimental commander's character.

There is absolutely no way the other party would do anything to harm him. The only problem now is that Director Fang.

Xie Lanshen remained unconscious, and he had few clues at hand. He couldn't immediately determine whether Director Fang was also an enemy agent or had been deceived like the deputy commander.

"When you get back, have someone keep an eye on Director Fang. If there are any unusual movements, be sure to report to me immediately."

"yes."

Gong Teng immediately accepted the order and then reported to him on the important events that had occurred in the army during this period.

He's been staying here too long; once he's finished with his business, he should hurry back to his unit.

Xie Lanshen had managed to handle so many things, and the energy he had painstakingly accumulated was now completely exhausted.

He silently berated himself for his weakness, then closed his eyes and lay back down on the bed, whispering:

"Let's go back."

Gong Teng reluctantly stood up, ready to leave, but then suddenly remembered something and quickly turned back to the bedside to ask him.

"Commander, did you encounter anything before this mission?"

He gritted his teeth, knowing this topic was dangerous, but out of concern for Xie Lanshen, he continued speaking.

"That's why this disaster has occurred."

The defenses within the military are always tight, making it difficult for the enemy to plant even one person.

It's unclear what exactly happened that made them feel that hurting Xie Lan wasn't enough.

They were determined to kill him, even at the cost of exposing a spy.

Xie Lanshen opened his eyes instantly and looked at him. His previous weary expression disappeared, replaced by the boundless night and surging sharpness.

In an instant, he suppressed all these emotions, and said in a hoarse voice:

"This matter has far-reaching implications, so please don't ask about it again."

He was worried that since he was not currently in the military, if something happened, he wouldn't be able to protect his soldiers.

Gong Teng quickly shut his mouth, indicating that what he had just said was just his speculation and that he would never go out and talk about it.

Xie Lanshen remained silent for a moment before speaking again.

"I will write a report and submit it as soon as I recover in the next two days."

"This matter is still unclear, and the specific handling method is still pending the organization's judgment and decision."

Upon hearing this, Gong Teng knew that this matter was likely to be very difficult to handle, and he couldn't help but sigh for a long time.

Forget it, he couldn't understand these schemes and plots.

In any case, as long as their leader's life is saved, that's all that matters.

-

Grandma Xie took Shen Zhihuan's arm and left the house, repeatedly inviting her to sit in the living room again.

"Zhihuan, you've been busy all day, thank you so much. You've made a lot of delicious food at home, why don't you stay for dinner before you leave?"

Perhaps all elderly people in the world are the same; when facing a younger person they like, they can't help but give them extra food.

Zhao Haiyin, also concerned about her not having had any pastries earlier, chimed in with words of encouragement:

"Yes, Zhihuan, we're family, no need to be so polite. Why don't you stay for dinner before you go back?"

They meant well, but Shen Zhihuan still hasn't found a place to stay.

There are no buses running in the village yet, and Aunt Liu and the others have already gone back. If Shen Zhihuan walks back by herself, it will take her several hours, no matter how fast she goes.

Not only would going back and forth be a waste of time, but she also couldn't stand the hassle.

Shen Zhihuan needed to find a place to stay before it got dark.

"No need, I need to go back early."

Concerned about Xie Lanshen's condition, she took her leave and did not forget to give some instructions to Xie's family.
