"Second sister, second sister, do you know what happened? And shouldn't you be in the army? How come you have a leave of absence?" After a few minutes, Chen Xihua did not hear her second sister's voice.
Then she noticed that her second sister's expression suddenly became serious, as if she was thinking about something.
At this point, she realized that her second sister's current state suggested that she didn't intend to return to the army anytime soon.
“...Oh, according to the time I spent studying, four years of university, I should have graduated and gone home to start working this June or July, so I came out to travel around, and..." Interrupted by Xiao Wu's voice, Chen Jinhua stopped thinking about the mission.
However, she stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, almost letting something slip.
"A secret mission, and a very dangerous one at that? And it's connected to Captain Zheng's mission?" Chen Xihua seemed to have guessed, and her voice suddenly became serious and earnest.
In addition, she can't call him "brother-in-law" yet, because Captain Zheng hasn't given her the "change of address fee" (a payment for addressing him differently).
It's not that easy! You think you can become her brother-in-law?
"It's not dangerous!" Chen Jinhua tried to sound relaxed and lied.
"After the mission is completed, Second Sister, you should be able to get a promotion, right?" Chen Xihua paused for a moment, then said casually.
“Um, Young Master…” Chen Jinhua blurted out, but immediately realized that she had been tricked into revealing information by Xiao Wu, so she quickly shut up.
"Major General, and you still say it's not dangerous? Second Sister, even if you're in a special forces unit, it's not easy to be promoted to Major General!" Chen Xihua couldn't help but worry, but her expression remained calm, a half-smile on her face.
Chen Jinhua's eyes darted away, and she immediately shut her mouth tightly, deciding not to say another word.
For some reason, Chen Jinhua had no guard up at all in front of Xiao Wu, and she was about to speak very easily just now.
Unlike in the military, or in front of other people, even instructors or lieutenant generals could try to get information out of her, and Chen Jinhua could answer every single question without divulging a single detail.
Actually, Chen Jinhua might have sensed that Xiao Wu had no ill intentions towards her.
In the military, besides being the newest "King of Soldiers," she was also known as the "Danger Detector."
She can sense even the slightest danger in the outside world, and her accuracy rate is currently 100%.
This is perhaps what Xiao Wu often refers to as intuition or a sixth sense.
About ten minutes later, sisters Chen Jinhua and Chen Xihua drove to the entrance of Huazhong University of Science and Technology and picked up Chen Xiuhua, who had been waiting for a few minutes.
The three sisters decided to drive home directly and cancel their previously purchased train tickets.

At 11 p.m., in the Golden Club in Silver City, Ontario, two men were sitting in a private suite on the top floor.
One was Liu Bo, who was in his fifties, and the other was a man in his thirties who wore gold-rimmed glasses, looked very refined, and resembled a scholar, professor, or teacher.
"You...how did you come to Ontario? Things have been very tense lately, aren't you afraid those people will find you?" Liu Bo's face was full of anxiety and worry.
"Heh, they can't catch me. Even if they catch Gan Zi and Lao Hei, so what? Neither of them knows who I am. Only you know my true identity. Would you report me?" The man with the gold-rimmed glasses sneered, his tone sinister and evil. He didn't answer his question but continued talking to himself. "I'll appear before them openly and honestly, and see what they can do to me."
"You want to do it yourself?" Liu Bo was a little helpless and subconsciously shook his head. Of course, he wouldn't report the person opposite him.
"I think I told you before that I was abducted when I was ten years old. You should know why I was abducted. It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, my life wouldn't be like this!" The man with the gold-rimmed glasses said, glaring fiercely at Liu Bo.
Then, in an instant, she adopted a smug and arrogant demeanor, "However, I also have to thank you, after all, I'm so smart. Actually, this is the kind of life I want, isn't it interesting? Hahaha..."
"Are you blaming me?" Liu Bo asked, his expression somewhat displeased.
"What do you think?" the man with the gold-rimmed glasses scoffed. "And do you know why I didn't let you retaliate by burning down Shikeng Village?"
"If something happens in Shiken Village, those people will definitely investigate, and our relationship might be discovered. If they follow the trail further, we'll both be finished. Once I'm noticed, I'll basically be exposed."
"I know," Liu Bo said in a muffled voice.
"I heard that your nephew went to Beijing to find your parents. What, are you feeling sorry for him? Are you planning to acknowledge him as your relative?" The man with the gold-rimmed glasses spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"No, it was my parents. After all, they thought..." Liu Bo was really embarrassed at this moment and didn't know how to answer.
"After all, they thought your Liu family branch was going to die out, right?" The man with gold-rimmed glasses said with a half-smile.
Liu Bo: "......."

Two days later, Chen Xihua and her two sisters returned to Gaoyang County.
Before she even reached the entrance of the textile factory's residential area, she saw a young man, about 1.8 meters tall, looking around and waiting. He was Chen Xiaoliu, who was already fifteen years old.
"Fifth sister, fifth sister..." Chen Baohua looked closely and saw that the first person to open the door and get out of the military green SUV that had stopped across the street was his fifth sister, whom he hadn't seen for two years. He excitedly shouted and ran over quickly.
Holding Chen Xihua's hand, Chen Xiaoliu happily pulled her home.
But he still muttered to himself, "Second and fourth sisters, they're back too!"
But he didn't approach the people in the car to check on them, nor did he wait for them.
When Chen Jinhua and Chen Xiuhua came down from behind and saw Chen Xihua and her brother already walking away, their expressions were indescribable: that brat Chen Xiaoliu, he just ignored them again, as if he couldn't see them.
"Chen Xiaoliu, can't you see me and Xiao Si? Do you want to get beaten up?" Chen Jinhua was not Xiao Si, and she couldn't stand Chen Xiaoliu's differential treatment.
She hasn't been home for two years, so why didn't Chen Xiaoliu give her a warm welcome?
What a heartless little thing.
Fourth Sister Chen Xiuhua smiled helplessly; she was already used to it.
"Fifth Sister, let's hurry up, don't wait for Second Sister." Chen Baohua, who was walking in front, urged Chen Xihua. He wasn't afraid at all. With Fifth Sister around, who would dare to beat him up?
Then, remembering something, Chen Baohua hesitated, "Fifth Sister, Third Sister came home the day before yesterday. When I saw her, I felt that her mental state was a bit off. But she wouldn't tell me what it was about. She said she had to wait for you to come back."
"Yes, I know." Although Chen Xihua didn't know what it was about, Liu Quan had called her a few days ago.
At that moment, from his hesitant tone, she sensed that her third sister's matter was quite serious.
