"Chief Huo has found his long-lost nephew," Lu Huai'an said in a deep voice.

Su Wantang quickly made a connection, her tone slightly incredulous: "You mean, Huo Jun is Huo Qing's younger brother's son?"

At first, she only thought that the two had a slight resemblance in their eyes and brows, but there are many people in the world who look alike, so Su Wantang didn't take it seriously.

Moreover, Huo Jun did not reunite with his relatives in his previous life.

wrong.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Su Wantang abruptly took two steps back.

"Tangtang." Lu Huai'an quickly reached out to support Su Wantang, asking with concern, "Are you alright?"

Su Wantang shook her head: "I'm fine."

But her face still showed signs of shock, clearly not what she had said. However, seeing that she didn't want to talk about it, Lu Huai'an didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he held her in his arms and gently comforted her.

"Tangtang, don't think too much. I'll take care of everything."

"Um."

The two went to bed to rest.

This time, Lu Huai'an took the initiative to get close to her, but Su Wantang pushed him away and said indifferently, "I'm sleepy."

"Mmm." Lu Huai'an gently kissed Su Wantang's forehead. "Go to sleep."

Don't overthink it.

"Mmm," Su Wantang replied perfunctorily, but her mind was racing.

In his previous life, Huo Jun was promoted and transferred out of the military. His new assignment was not to Beijing, but to a military unit stationed in another city.

Several years later, he was transferred back to the military base in Beijing.

Less than a month after she was transferred back, she was stabbed to death by Liu Cuicui in the street when she went out.

Thinking back to her life, Su Wantang couldn't help but feel a chill.

In her past life, her death was not an accident at all, but rather a scheme orchestrated by Huo Jun to give Sun Qian a position.

But something happened in his life that led Huo Jun to go to Beijing ahead of schedule.

All changes began with...

"Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

Startled by Lu Huai'an's deep questioning voice from behind, Su Wantang blurted out, "I'm asleep."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air seemed to stop moving.

Lu Huai'an chuckled and teased, "My wife is amazing; she can even talk in her sleep."

Su Wantang's face flushed slightly. She raised her arm and gave Lu Huai'an a light elbow strike, scoffing, "And you're talking about me? You weren't asleep either, were you?"

Lu Huai'an said innocently, "Wife, you're wronged. I just want to sleep with you—"

Suddenly, Lu Huai'an's voice weakened, and he leaned closer, his hot breath spraying onto Su Wantang's earlobe.

"Honey, your breathing sounds a bit heavy."

What was a very serious statement took on a slightly ambiguous tone when Lu Huai'an punctuated it like that.

However, Su Wantang had no time to think about these things. She pulled her arm out from under the covers, pushed Lu Huai'an's head away, and muttered complaints.

"Don't get so close, it tickles."

Lu Huai'an: "..."

"By the way, since you're still awake, I'll tell you something. Go to the military base tomorrow and find out what really happened with Huo Jun's meritorious service. How did he just jump up to battalion commander like that? And get promoted back to Beijing?"

Lu Huai'an's tone was slightly somber: "I know about this."

"On his way back from a mission, Huo Jun rescued a little boy who had been abducted by human traffickers on the train. This boy was the beloved grandson of Deputy Political Commissar Sun Lei."

"Sun Qian's father?"

"Yes, and he used to be Chief Huo's subordinate."

"So you mean Sun Lei guessed Huo Jun's identity from the beginning, and then pulled some strings to get him transferred to Beijing?"

"pretty close."

What Lu Huai'an didn't say was that he felt the subsequent operations to arrest human traffickers and dismantle human trafficking gangs went too smoothly, like food being cooked and fed directly into someone's mouth.

He's investigating this matter, but hasn't found anything yet.

Lu Huai'an thought for a moment and decided not to tell Su Wantang. Firstly, he hadn't found out anything, and secondly, he vaguely felt that Su Wantang was overly concerned about Huo Jun and Liu Cuicui's affair.

The doctor said that Su Wantang was in poor health and was overly worried, and Lu Huai'an kept this in mind.

Lu Huai'an didn't intend to say anything, but Su Wantang wouldn't let him off the hook.

"Huai'an, do you think Huo Jun really made such a great contribution? Could it be that Deputy Political Commissar Sun interfered and did something—"

Before Su Wantang could even utter the word "greasy," Lu Huai'an silenced her with a kiss.

After a while, the two separated, panting.

"Lu Huai'an!" Su Wantang said angrily, "I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Do you like Huo Jun?

"Huh?" Su Wantang was stunned.

"Otherwise, why are you so worried about him?" Lu Huai'an argued logically. "Wife, do you regret not getting promoted and think he's more successful than me? After all, if we hadn't arranged the marriage, you—"

"Regret my ass!" Su Wantang really wanted to crack open Lu Huai'an's head to see if it was filled with water. Why he hadn't been promoted was something others might not know, but she knew it too.

"That Huo Jun? I like him? Unless you're out of your mind."

"I said that because I can't stand him. Who does he think he is, daring to say that my man is inferior to him? And knowing that he is related to Huo Qing makes me even angrier. No wonder they are uncle and nephew, they are birds of a feather!"

Lu Huai'an slowly concluded: "So, it turns out my wife cares about me so much and protects me so much."

Realizing she had acted impulsively and uttered a veiled confession, Su Wantang's face flushed. Fortunately, the lights were off, so the blush on her cheeks was not visible.

"Good to know. You're so lucky to marry me," Su Wantang said shamelessly.

"Hmm." Lu Huai'an said seriously, "Marrying Tangtang is like my ancestors' graves emitting auspicious smoke."

After Lu Huai'an's interruption, Su Wantang forgot about what had just happened. The two chatted for a while longer before falling into a deep sleep.
