Late at night, He Ruixue lay on her side on the bed, boredly studying the embroidery pattern on the pillow.

Suddenly, a chill came from behind, the quilt next to him was lifted up, and Jiang Yanxu crawled in.

"Is everything resolved?"

She turned over and hugged the other person's waist.

Because I was sleepy, my voice was a little unclear.

"Um."

Jiang Yanxu reached out and grabbed his daughter's doll, holding the corner of the quilt against her shoulders to prevent the wind from blowing in. "I was very careful on the way to and from Jiang's house, and I didn't run into anyone. From now on, as long as Third Sister-in-law keeps her mouth shut, no one will suspect us."

Jiang Mengheng had little experience and thought that no one would notice if he acted secretly. In fact, someone had been following him since he left the house.

Jiang Yanxu didn't want others to notice his role in the Jiang family incident, so as not to cause more trouble.

So I quickly agreed with them and made some arrangements.

According to his explanation, the reason why Jiang Mengheng ran to the He family was that Jiang Ying's daughter was always crying. He wanted to ask Pan Shuyu to come over and help take care of the child, but he was not even allowed to enter the door.

Regardless of whether this reason is tenable or not, it can at least get them out of it.

Everyone would just think that the two of them were sleeping soundly in the house and never showed up.

To express his gratitude, Jiang Mengheng privately invited He Ruixue to dinner, and Jiang Yanxu, as the chief contributor, was also invited.

However, he had no intention of having dinner with his rival, so he refused.

He kept muttering to He Ruixue, "He said you can go alone. I don't know whether he wants to repay a favor or seek revenge."

How could you invite the wife of a benefactor you have pursued to dinner alone?

However, Jiang Yanxu never restricted her freedom and had absolute trust in her.

He just told her not to drink and to go home early, and personally sent her to the state-owned restaurant.

Even Jiang Mengheng had to admit that this guy was indeed open-minded.

At the dinner table, He Ruixue met an unexpected person, "Classmate Ren, are you on vacation?"

Ren Chengmian took off his wide-brimmed hat, placed it on the stool next to him, patted Jiang Mengheng on the shoulder and asked him to go and order the food.

After training in the army for a long time, his skin became several shades darker and he looked more energetic than before.

His figure became taller and stronger, his arms were powerful, his gestures were well-organized, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his sharp eyes and eyebrows, as if he had seen blood.

"Hey, what's the deal? I'm here to deliver some information."

The two of them often communicated, so they didn't feel strange at this moment.

"I heard you became the deputy battalion commander. You have a bright future."

"No, at that time, all the capable people in the army were on more important missions, so I had to take over. It was a lucky break."

He spoke modestly, but his eyes were filled with complacency. He teased her, "My achievements are still far behind our Deputy Section Chief He."

After Jiang Mengheng came back from ordering the dishes, he was completely focused on entertaining He Ruixue, ignoring Ren Chengmian's presence.

"Ruixue, I ordered three meat dishes. You'll be the first to pick up your chopsticks. The man named Ren is like a wild boar coming down the mountain. Even if we both have two hands, we can't grab one from him."

"Old Jiang, you really want to insult me, don't you? That document in your house..."

Jiang Mengheng quickly raised his hands in a plea for mercy, "Brother Ren, I've neglected you. No wonder they say it's better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Please eat more later. I'll let you take away the rest."

"Get lost, is that a nice thing to say?"

Ren Chengmian hit his shoulders a few times.

While laughing, He Ruixue learned that the so-called confidential document hidden in the Jiang family was indeed important. It recorded the distribution of important official air-raid shelters and the strategic materials stored inside them.

Although it is no secret among the city's top officials, once it falls into the hands of the enemy, it will cause huge losses if they are allowed to carry out deliberate destruction.

In order to successfully escort this document to the capital, the military sent a lot of people, and Ren Chengmian was on the task list.

"Uncle Jiang is usually so cautious, but he actually fell for the trick. It's a pity that I wasn't there at the time, otherwise those old idiots would have dared to arrest your father. I'll expose all their secrets."

Jiang Mengheng glared at him with disdain, "My grandfather's reputation is useless for this matter, what's the point of you going there?

I heard that some people in the army don't like you and have been making things difficult for your battalion. You can't even handle your own affairs. Don't flatter me. We both know each other well."

Because of his grandfather, Ren Chengmian has been the focus of attention since he joined the army.

Everything has its pros and cons. Some people were dissatisfied and tried to make things difficult for him, both openly and covertly.

He didn't dare to disrupt their mission, but only tampered with the report to cause trouble for him.

Ren Chengmian was cheated several times, but later he relied on his fearless fighting spirit and gained many merits at the cost of his injuries.

In the army, strength is everything. He has the soldiers under his command in check and their obedience is complete. His brilliance cannot be obscured and his promotion momentum is unstoppable.

Ren Chengmian's face fell. "Why bring up those unlucky things while we're eating? If your brother can't even handle this, how can I talk about defending the country? Just go home and eat by myself."

"When you return from this mission, I think you should be able to get your deputy badge back. I remember you captured a group of spies last year, got stabbed in the arm, and then won a second-class merit?"

Ren Chengmian patted his arm in a show-off manner, "I've recovered. The few bad apples in the army have all been dealt with by the old man. When I go back, I will definitely be able to suppress you."

He went over to bring the dishes over, invited He Ruixue to eat, and teased her, "When will our little He classmate take off this secondary character? I'm getting married next year, and I'll need your help buying wedding candy."
