"Let's hope so. Shanshan is in this situation now, and we can't spare any attention. I think Shanshan's current state is largely due to us; otherwise, how could she have developed such a personality?"

Sun Zhibin began to reflect on himself, trying to find out what was wrong with him. He felt that it was the father's fault if the son was not taught well... even though he and Fu Yao had really tried their best to educate her.

"Sigh... It's no use saying anything now. I just hope Shanshan can get better soon. She's only twenty years old, still young, and has a long life ahead of her... She hasn't even met her biological parents yet..."

Fu Yao sighed. It wasn't that she didn't want Sun Shanshan anymore, but she was just sighing because, after all, they were related by blood. It would be good if she could help Sun Shanshan find her biological parents or even just meet them once. Sun Shanshan could decide for herself whether to stay or leave, since she was an adult now.

"Okay, don't think too much. Go eat something, don't ruin your health."

Sun Zhibin comforted Fu Yao, saying that everything was preordained and since things had come to this, they could only accept it and make the best of it.

Sun Zhibin then helped Fu Yao leave the ward and hired a caregiver for Sun Shanshan.

Zheng Shuyi Villa

Yin Yi came to change Yan Yixing's wound dressing as usual.

"Young Master Yan, just like before, keep the wound dry. Rest in bed and don't get up or move around."

Yinyi threw all the discarded medical waste into the trash can and whispered instructions.

"Okay, thank you."

Yan Yixing didn't see how the wound was actually, but she felt that the wound was better after the medicine was applied, and it felt a little cool and had a pain-relieving effect.

"Then I'll be going now."

Yin Yi packed his medicine kit and carried it on his back.

"good."

Yan Yixing responded softly.

Yin Yi left the villa carrying a medicine box.

Zheng Shuyi brought out the fish soup that she had prepared in the kitchen.

"Drinking some soup will help the wound heal."

Zheng Shuyi brought a straw this time because he was worried that Yan Yixing's wound might be aggravated if he raised his pillow, since Yan Yixing had just had his dressing changed.

"Um... okay."

Yan Yixing was slightly stunned. The moment Zheng Shuyi entered, it was as if a layer of light shone on her, making her very bright.

Yan Yixing was very well-behaved, sucking on the straw Zheng Shuyi offered him, but he drank very slowly, just so he could look at Zheng Shuyi a few more times; she was really beautiful…

Why are you staring at me? Do I have pimples on my face?

Zheng Shuyi was a little confused. Was it because she hadn't rested well these past two days, causing hormonal imbalance and breakouts? How ugly would that look?

"No, it's very beautiful..."

Yan Yixing withdrew his gaze, concealing his emotions. He had lost his composure; had he offended her? But she really was... so beautiful, so captivating. Would she think he was a pervert?

"Um?"

Was she not hallucinating? Yan Yixing said she was very pretty? Zheng Shuyi's cheeks flushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I'll head out now. Call me if you need anything."

Zheng Shuyi made an excuse not to linger any longer.

"Uh-huh."

Yan Yixing was feeling a bit sleepy, so she decided to take a nap...

Zheng Shuyi left the secret room with the bowl and went to the kitchen. She covered her slightly flushed cheeks with her hands, feeling a little shy.

Did Yan Yixing really just compliment her on her looks? Many people have complimented her on her looks, but she's never felt this shy and her heart pounding like this before…

What's going on? Is she starting to fall in love?

What is she thinking? Yan Yixing recovered and left, and they went their separate ways. Besides, he wouldn't even be interested in her, would he? There are plenty of girls more outstanding than her, why would he be interested in her?

Yes! We shouldn't have such unrealistic ideas! Wake up!

Zheng Shuyi turned on the tap and washed her face with cold water to stop herself from overthinking. She had never been in a relationship before, which was why she was feeling the stirrings of first love!

Airport in country x

As soon as Yan Xiluo landed, Lu Qing, one of the base's subordinates, was already waiting for her at the arrival gate.

"Boss!"

Lu Qing recognized Yan Xiluo at a glance in the vast crowd and waved excitedly. They hadn't seen each other for quite some time.

"lightly."

Yan Xiluo quickened her pace and came to Lu Qing. She saw that there was also a motorcycle next to Lu Qing. She had just had a motorcycle ride two hours ago.

"Boss, get in the car! I've got your gun ready!"

Lu Qing handed another helmet hanging on the motorcycle to Yan Xiluo.

"Um."

Yan Xiluo quickly put on her helmet and got into the car. This time, Lu Qing drove and she sat in the back.

Lu Qing was much more familiar with the terrain here than she was. Even with her excellent memory, she was still worried about making mistakes and wasting time.

The base was destroyed, and she feared that the next thing to be destroyed would be her own army!

Lu Qing kept the accelerator pedal at full throttle the whole way. She knew Yan Xiluo had an incredible tolerance for stress. In an emergency, the priority was to get back to the base as quickly as possible; otherwise, the base would be reduced to ruins...

However, in Lu Qing's eyes, this was already considered ruins!

Yan Xiluo felt like her face was going numb from being blown around, and her skin was about to peel off... She had been blowing for half an hour before coming here, and now she had been blowing for another half hour...

I'm a little worried that it will affect the speed at which she fires bullets...

"Boss!"

All the mercenaries felt a glimmer of hope upon seeing Yan Xiluo's arrival. They could easily handle minor leaders and bosses they usually encountered, but this time... it was the king of mercenaries from Country E...

The only one who can probably match his sniping skills is Yan Xiluo.

Although Yan Xiluo was not a mercenary in their mercenary group, she was the person designated by the veteran of this mercenary group to take over the group.

Looking at the base, which was in such a terrible state after being bombed, Yan Xiluo frowned her beautiful eyebrows. At this moment, she really wanted to blow that person up!

"Give me the binoculars, I'll go check out the control tower."

Yan Xiluo immediately got off the motorcycle, took off her helmet, and took the binoculars.

They quickly climbed up the control tower.

Good heavens! He blew up their base and can still casually train his soldiers? Is this guy crazy? What kind of training is this?

Yan Xiluo was furious at the sight of him and grabbed her sniper rifle, wanting to blow his head off! But she was different from him; she wouldn't take advantage of someone's vulnerability and launch an attack without their knowledge. She couldn't do something so unethical.

So he put the gun down again.

The base is a complete mess, and he still has the nerve to conduct training?!

Look, it's time for her to give him a big gift!

"Lu Qing, bring out the new type of shell we developed earlier. It's time to test it! He destroyed our base, so we should reciprocate! Otherwise, he'll think we're impolite!"

The new type of shell was developed by her and the veteran Wang. Due to health reasons, the veteran Wang could no longer work as a mercenary, so he had no choice but to hand over the Sirius Legion to Yan Xiluo for management.
