There are still two options in the space that haven't been unlocked: "Medicine" and "Supermarket". The effect brought by "Pets" makes her feel that all things have a spirit. She is looking forward to what will happen after "Medicine" and "Supermarket" are unlocked.
Lu Ting looked at Captain Zhou, "Captain Zhou, the security issue for the military region will probably need your help. After all, you are in charge of the entire research institute's duty team, and I will report the situation in the military region to my superiors."
There's a hidden meaning in his words.
Captain Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then saluted Lu Ting, "Yes, Commander Lu!"
Of everyone present, Lu Ting held the highest military rank, so Captain Zhou naturally obeyed Lu Ting's orders and arrangements.
Lu Ting nodded and said in a deep voice, "Professor Xue, Professor Yan, Professor Shen, you must pay attention to your own safety during this period and be wary of enemy agents."
"Yes! We know!"
The people mentioned all had very serious expressions.
Su Miaoyan and Professor Xue had already signed a confidentiality agreement, and with more important things to do now, everyone returned to their respective work posts.
As the names of the two metals became known to the group, the research enthusiasts were eager to return and conduct experiments to record their findings.
Shi and Yu were also taken away by Captain Zhou and others, but what they were taken away for is unknown.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, the swarm of bees remained hovering overhead, seemingly ignored due to the tense atmosphere.
Lu Ting looked at the swarm of bees, then glanced at his wife, his gaze unchanged, but Su Miaoyan felt inexplicably guilty.
As expected, after returning to the courtyard, Lu Ting asked the question that had been bothering him.
"Honey, while I was away on a mission, did you do something behind my back?"
Su Miaoyan touched her nose, thought for a moment, and decided to tell him the truth. Actually, she originally planned to let Lu Ting find out by accident.
But I never expected that such an accident would happen during this trip to the research institute.
Su Miaoyan spoke concisely and to the point, recounting everything she had done during Lu Ting's mission, omitting, of course, the details of the space and the bees.
Lu Ting listened carefully to every word, and the more he listened, the more helpless and admiring he felt.
He was very happy with everything his wife did.
Because if he were to encounter an accident during a mission, he wouldn't have to worry so much about the other person.
Every moment before he encountered danger on a mission, he thought about what kind of mistreatment his wife would suffer if he were gone.
But now that he knows she has the ability to protect him, Lu Ting feels a faint sense of pride.
Seeing that Lu Ting hadn't spoken for a long time, Su Miaoyan thought he was angry because she had kept it from him. A sense of panic rose in her heart for no reason. Just as she was about to explain, the man pulled her into his arms.
The man's strong, broad chest felt like a pair of warm, comforting hands enveloping her, conveying a burning sense of security. Caught off guard, Su Miaoyan pressed herself tightly against his chest.
You can even hear your heart pounding.
She looked up, and the man's clearly defined jawline came into view. Lu Ting also lowered his head, and their eyes locked. Su Miaoyan was slightly stunned.
As if he could read her mind, Lu Ting said in a deep voice, "Wife, I'm not angry."
First, let me explain.
Noticing the other person's extremely light breathing, Lu Ting rested his chin on the shoulder of the woman in his arms.
He continued, "I know all that you've done, and I'm very happy."
Su Miaoyan's heart pounded rapidly. She had a vague feeling that Lu Ting seemed to have seen through all her previous pretense.
But he wasn't angry, nor was he furious, and he didn't even react... Instead, he gave her a strong sense of security.
Su Miaoyan seemed to understand something.
He understood everything, but since all of this was part of her, he gladly accepted it.
Her eyes stung, and her voice trembled slightly, "Lu Ting, you...you're not angry..."
Lu Ting nodded, his tone filled with deep confusion, "Why would I be angry?"
Before Su Miaoyan could speak, the man's voice came from above, "I'm proud of everything you've done, and I'm proud of my wife's growth. Wife, I know your concerns, but all of that is in the past. I'm not one of those bloodsuckers from the Su family."
With me, you can do whatever you want. I won't restrict you because of your growth. Go for it, honey!
These words kept echoing in Su Miaoyan's ears.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she seemed to notice tears streaming down her face. She snapped out of her daze and frantically wiped them away. Yes, her fragility was just a facade.
But beneath this protective layer, she is actually far from being described as weak or frail.
After all, they've all died once, so how could they really be weak?
She was simply cautious and careful, afraid that if she exposed her true nature in front of those close to her, she would be exploited again and suppressed.
Moreover, she and Lu Ting, to some extent, share the same strong will.
This is why, although Gu Shanqing spoke harshly to her at the time, Su Miaoyan was willing to forgive and forget about it later.
Because she vaguely saw her own reflection in Gu Shanqing.
Never give up when faced with difficulties.
Su Miaoyan admires this kind of person.
This is why she didn't initially consider joining the research institute, but later agreed to Professor Xue's offer.
Professor Xue said that once you enter the research institute, everything you want to achieve depends on your abilities; you have to climb the ladder step by step.
Su Miaoyan enjoys this kind of challenge.
She is very grateful to the man she married, who will spend his life with her, for understanding and appreciating her, and for being her strongest shield.
Su Miaoyan leaned against the man's chest, feeling his strong heartbeat, and whispered, "Lu Ting, thank you."
She thanked him for showing her what it means for a man to truly love a woman.
Lu Ting patted her on the back to comfort her.
Afterwards, Su Miaoyan revealed her suspicion that Shi Heyu and Shen Mingzhi were the soldiers she had met in the family compound that day.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ting's expression instantly turned serious.
He immediately reported what had happened that day to his superiors, but lacking evidence, he did not mention Shen Mingzhi, and instead waited for Shen Mingzhi to slip up on his own.
At midnight, the two of them were still awake.
Instead, they went to the Gobi Desert under the complete cover of night.
Before setting off, Su Miaoyan brought a lot of tools and handed them over to Lu Ting.
Lu Ting took the items, and Su Miaoyan smiled sweetly at him, "Lu Ting, I want to dig for jade. Could you hold these things for me?"
Although her gentleness was just a protective facade, a little bit of coquetry could still be a way to warm up the relationship between husband and wife.
