I should slap myself for what I just did.
Unbeknownst to them, several days earlier, the news that Lu Tuan, who was always cold-faced, had married a capitalist's daughter had already spread throughout the entire military region.
"Is Lu Ting coming back?"
Commander He sat in his office, wiping the sweat from his brow.
Deputy Political Commissar Qu adjusted his glasses. "You let something slip."
Commander He realized the meaning behind his words and couldn't help but joke, "That's right, we forgot someone. It's that kid Lu Ting who's coming back with his wife."
Deputy Political Commissar Qu nodded, "That's right, we don't know what kind of person Xiao Lu's wife is."
If she were a rich young lady with capitalist ways, she would probably suffer greatly in the military region.
Deputy Political Commissar Qu stood by the window, looking at the boundless Gobi Desert, and sighed.
He had previously wanted to introduce his daughter to Lu Ting, but Lu Ting refused outright, saying that he already had someone he liked.
But who would have thought that she was actually a capitalist's daughter!
Deputy Political Commissar Qu shook his head, "What a pity to waste this kid's bright future!"
If he marries his daughter, he will have a son-in-law who will definitely help him secure his future.
But what if you married a capitalist's daughter...?
I'm afraid I'll be stuck in this position for the next three years.
Little did he know that the more he looked down on the capitalist's daughter now, the more he would later find her appealing.
The yellow sand stretches endlessly.
The afternoon sunlight contains abundant ultraviolet rays.
The roads on both sides were flat, and dark green military vehicles were slowly driving in the middle of the highway.
Su Miaoyan found the sunlight too bright, so she quickly applied some face cream to her face and arms, and then applied it to the stone next to her.
Shi Tou obediently let Su Miaoyan apply the paint, and seeing him like this, Su Miaoyan felt her heart almost melt.
After finishing applying the paint to the stone, Su Miaoyan looked at Lu Ting beside her.
"Lu Ting, are you going to apply it or not?"
Lu Ting said in a deep voice, "I don't need it, I'm already used to getting sun exposure."
The girl in front of me has delicate skin, so it's only right to use more.
He took out a few more boxes of face cream from his luggage and handed them over, saying, "Use more, I have more here if you don't have enough."
Su Miaoyan looked at the face cream in his hand, took it and put it aside, sweetly saying thank you.
She looked behind her again. "Xiao Dai, do you need it?"
Since saying the wrong thing, Dai Yong'an has been silent as if he had been muted.
Now, suddenly being asked the question, he scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, "I... I don't need it either."
He still feels guilty.
Su Miaoyan didn't insist, "Then I'll use it myself."
After saying that, he opened the face cream and frantically applied it to his face and neck.
Although the effect may be minimal, it certainly has a strong psychological effect.
After doing all this, Su Miaoyan held Shitou's little hand and spoke to him, "Shitou, you're out of danger now, can you make a sound?"
Stone looked dejected, pointed to his throat, and shook his head.
The meaning is obvious: not yet.
Su Miaoyan patted his head. "It's okay, no rush, take your time."
Lu Ting said from the side, "I have been in the military region for many years. This time, the enemy agents kidnapped Shi Tou and then took a car back to Xinjiang Province. It is very likely that they wanted to use explosives to blackmail Professor Xue."
It's highly likely that they came with a do-or-die mentality; in other words, if Professor Xue insists on choosing the country, then Shi Tou might very well…
The two exchanged a glance, both understanding what the outcome would be.
Fortunately, Wang Guifen has been caught, but Shi Tou is still safe and has not suffered the same fate.
At this moment, Old Bian, who was sitting in front, said: "Old Xue has been missing for more than a year. At first, we thought he had been abducted by human traffickers, but we only found out after the organization investigated last time that he had been kidnapped by enemy agents as a hostage."
It's pitiful for this child, who is only a few years old and has suffered such harm.
Su Miaoyan asked in surprise, "Then... the contents of the letter are fake?"
The letter was stamped with the word "fake" on it.
Old Bian nodded. "That's right, it's fake. Our goal is to make the other party so angry that they'll slip up sooner."
Su Miaoyan seemed to be deep in thought. In other words, if the letter wasn't fake, the stone might have remained in the other party's hands and been used for other purposes.
Just thinking about the wounds on Shi Tou's body made Su Miaoyan's palms sweat, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on Shi Tou.
In times of turmoil, even children are used as bargaining chips to threaten the other side.
This is truly terrifying to think about!
Lu Ting's expression was solemn. "When we go back this time, the explosives in the suitcase can be submitted to Professor Xue for research."
Foreign-made new explosives, which can be used to threaten hostages, must be extremely powerful.
Old Bian said, "This is an unexpected surprise."
I just hope that once I get to the military region, Shi Tou's throat can still be treated.
If it can't be cured...
Old Bian sighed, stared straight ahead, and watched as yellow dust swirled in the air. The group continued on their way.
...
On the other side.
Su Tingyuan, Su Yuze, and Liu Yufen finally drove to the villa area in Haizhou.
The area was heavily guarded, and the road was flat. When the guard on duty saw Su Tingyuan's face clearly, he saluted him.
"Mr. Su!"
Su Tingyuan handed over the pass from his pocket. After verifying its authenticity, the guard lowered his hand and said, "You can pass!"
The guard line in front slowly rose, and Su Tingyuan took the pass and put it back in his pocket.
Here, there are many capitalists like them who have just fled from elsewhere to the Haizhou villa area.
It can be said that this place is a gathering place for capitalists in Haizhou.
However, living here comes at a price.
This means paying a huge amount of assets in advance.
Su Tingyuan had made preparations in advance. The assets he had prepared to pay were placed in the villa and were waiting to be moved up.
Once they have paid these assets, they can be considered completely settled in Haizhou.
But if I can return to Chengdu in the future...
Su Tingyuan's eyes flickered slightly as he slowly parked the car at the place they had agreed upon earlier.
The head guard had been waiting for a long time. He spoke with a Hong Kong accent and bowed to Su Tingyuan with a smile.
He extended his hand and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Su."
Su Tingyuan straightened his wrinkled shirt, then reached out to shake hands with him. "Long time no see, Mr. Smith."
Smith had a full head of gray hair and was holding a cigar.
Smoke rings swirled around him as he raised an eyebrow at Su Tingyuan. "Mr. Su, you should know the rules here, right?"
Su Tingyuan said in a deep voice, "Of course I know."
Smith's smile widened. "So you have no objection to the amount of assets required to be paid, right?"
Su Tingyuan remained expressionless. "Of course, I have no objection. However, Mr. Smith must abide by the terms of the contract and make it a deal."
Smith raised his cane and did...
