Aunt Ge and Su Meihua pulled Yu Yao to sit on a large leaf to cushion their bottoms, and the three of them stared intently at the battlefield in the distance.

Ge Jinhua found it unbelievable when she thought about what had just happened.

Four thugs rushed over with knives. They were so fast that Commander Lu would get hurt no matter where he hid. In particular, the thug behind him even used a dirty trick, pulling out another knife from somewhere and stabbing Commander Lu.

Commander Lu seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. No one knew how he discovered it, but with a swift movement, he not only dodged the hidden knife coming from behind, but also snatched the two knives from the thug's hand. He stabbed the thug a few times, and the thug lost his fighting ability and was thrown aside.

The remaining three thugs weren't much better off; they were like paper tigers—the fiercer their expressions, the worse they got beaten by Commander Lu.

Aunt Ge exclaimed, "Yu Yao, Commander Lu is really amazing! It hasn't been long, and these four thugs are already struggling to hold their own."

Su Meihua nodded, "With Commander Lu's skill in taking on four opponents with ease, it's no wonder he's been able to win the title of Three Realms King of Soldiers for three consecutive years. Yu Yao, you don't need to worry anymore, Commander Lu will be able to finish the battle soon."

Yu Yao felt happy and proud at the same time.

No wonder he's the man she chose; he's truly outstanding.

"Sister-in-law, here, this is your coconut." Qin Ye handed over an open coconut.

Yu Yao accepted the gift, thanked Qin Ye, and kept her eyes fixed on Lu Ze.

Lu Ze said he would end the fight before she finished drinking the water from a coconut, and he had never broken his word before, this time was no exception.

Yu Yao had only drunk half of her drink when the four thugs all lay down on the beach, some clutching their chests, others hugging their legs, groaning and complaining.

Seeing that he had finished fighting, Yu Yao ran towards Lu Ze with the coconut she had given him.

Seeing this, Commander Lei followed suit.

Just as they were about to reach Lu Ze, four men suddenly rushed out from the side, wielding dry tree branches and whipping the four thugs lying on the ground.

After finishing her cigarette, Old Lady Niu looked at Lu Ze and said, "Comrade, are you alright? Don't be afraid, we'll help you."

"Comrade, are you alright?" Wu Shufen stood in front of Lu Ze, glancing at him quickly with a shy look, and then quickly lowered her head when Lu Ze looked over.

Grandma Niu could tell from her daughter's expression that she was interested in this man.

This guy is really handsome. That watch on his wrist must cost at least a hundred yuan. He must be well-off.

Although Lu Ze found it strange, he knew the other party had offered help out of kindness, so he nodded politely and said, "Thank you."

That's it?

There was no response?

Grandma Niu was not very satisfied with Lu Ze's attitude.

Although Yu Yao was startled by the sudden appearance of the group, she quickly recovered and walked up to Lu Ze with the coconut in her arms. "You've worked hard, have some water."

Lu Ze gently removed the fallen leaves from her hair and took the coconut to drink.

Left standing there dumbfounded, Wu Shufen felt like she'd been struck by lightning. She guessed that the two had a complicated relationship, but still couldn't help but cling to a sliver of hope and ask Su Meihua, who had rushed over, "Who is she? Why is she so intimate with that man?"

Having lived on the island for so many years, you can tell what's on her mind just by looking into her eyes.

Even before Commander Lu got married, many young female comrades fell in love with him at first sight and pursued him relentlessly. Even after being rejected, they were still persistent. That's the kind of look they had.

“How can a married couple not be intimate?” Su Meihua immediately shattered all her fantasies.

Upon hearing that Lu Ze was married, Wu Shuhua's face immediately fell.

Although she could tell that these people had ulterior motives, they had indeed rushed out earlier. Aunt Ge looked at the few coconuts left, which they couldn't take with them, and said, "Thank you so much for rushing out to help, ma'am. Here are a few coconuts to quench your thirst."

"Who cares about your coconuts? We helped you, and you try to fob me off with something that can be found anywhere?" Old Lady Niu slapped the coconut that Ge Jinhua was offering her away.

Political Commissar Qin's expression changed immediately. As a political commissar, he was best at understanding people's thoughts and could guess what these people were thinking with ease. He abandoned his usual gentleness and became stern.

"What rescue? You're really good at making yourselves look good. We saw what happened clearly. When you rushed out, those four thugs were already lying on the ground. We know exactly what you were up to."

Seeing that they outnumbered her and knew she wouldn't gain any advantage, Old Lady Niu stubbornly said, "You're biting the hand that feeds you! Let's go!"

After saying that, the four of them slunk away.

The arrival and departure of Granny Niu and her group did not have any impact on Yu Yao and the others.

The four thugs were rendered immobile by Lu Ze, who disarmed them and rendered them powerless to fight.

The leader of the thugs, in particular, had his arm dislocated by Lu Ze and was groaning the most pitifully.

The four thugs still couldn't understand how one person could be as powerful as Lu Ze. Even for soldiers, this was beyond their comprehension.

When the four thugs finally caught the words "King of Soldiers" in Commander Lei's words, they realized they had kicked a hornet's nest. Ignoring their pain, they scattered and ran away, limping.

His speed was astonishing; even with a limp, he could run so fast he was practically a blur. It was clear that Lu Ze had left a psychological scar on them.

Four hooligans borrowed money once, and in return, they became introverted for life. After that, they became honest people, worked in the fields to earn work points, and never dared to borrow money from others again.

Commander Lei walked over, put his arm around Lu Ze's shoulder, and his envy and jealousy were almost tangible. "Old Lu, tell me honestly, when you sparred with us these past few years, did you not use your full strength? How come your skills have improved so much compared to before?"

Qin Ye wasn't surprised at all. After all, one was the commander of the Third Regiment and the other was the political commissar of the Third Regiment. He could be said to be the colleague who knew Lu Ze's skills best.

Although I've never seen Lu Ze use his full strength, I know he's incredibly skilled.

Lu Ze dusted off his hands and said calmly, "Since this is a friendly spar, we should stop when we've reached our goal."

Commander Lei clutched his chest as if he had been stabbed, his eyes filled with a cold light, looking at Lu Ze as if he were a heartless man. "What you're saying is a bit hurtful. Do you think I'm the only one who uses my full strength in sparring?"

Lu Ze and Qin Ye did not answer immediately. Instead, they thought about it for a moment and then nodded in unison.

Commander Lei was even more injured.

Although his skills were far inferior to Lu Ze's, he was still one of the best among the leaders, except that Lu Ze was ridiculously strong.

The four rested on the beach for a while, then put the little incident that had just happened behind them and continued doing what they were doing.

Lu Ze was the fastest, prying open a whole bucket of oysters. When Yu Yao saw that it was almost done, she asked him to come with her to catch fiddler crabs.
