Chapter 108 I will marry no one but her in this life
Xie Mian hesitated, then picked up his cup and gulped down another glass, looking preoccupied.
"We can't say! In short, we just need to obey orders."
Xie Mian stood up, grabbed his mother, picked up Xiao Qi, and prepared to leave.
Seeing that Su Mianzhi was sitting still, he turned around helplessly, "Brother, we will definitely not let Xiaomeng be in danger."
Besides, your physical condition doesn't allow you to shield Xiaomeng from bullets or danger.
Upon hearing this, Grandma broke free from Xie Mian's grasp and cried out in alarm, "What do you mean by blocking a bullet? That's too dangerous! Let's go home."
"Ah Da, pick up Xiao Meng and take her home."
Ah Da glanced at Su Mianzhi, then at Huo Zhenhua who had silently stepped in front of Su Meng's bed, and said calmly with a frown, "I'll stay and take care of Xiao Meng."
Su Mianzhi nodded, stood up, and gently comforted the old woman: "Mother, Xiaomeng is not only our child, she is also a member of the country."
She belongs to the Southeast Military Region and has her own mission. Let's go!
Some things don't need to be said too explicitly; everyone understands them implicitly.
From the moment Su Meng accepted Commander Tang's invitation to enter the firearms research institute, she was no longer just a child of the Su family.
She belonged to the country first, and then to the Su family.
Grandma glanced at Xie Mian's broken ribs, her eyes filled with tears, her lips trembling with heartache, and her voice choked with sobs, "It's one thing for you men to protect your country."
"Why is my granddaughter also going to fight? She's injured."
Huo Zhenhua snapped to attention and saluted the old woman, solemnly promising, "Grandma, I will definitely protect Xiaomeng. I swear on my life!"
Everyone: "......"
Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone!
Ah Da scoffed coldly: "If you've got the guts, then tell Xiao Meng."
What's the point of just dragging this out like this?
If she really doesn't have those kinds of feelings for you, you should make other plans.
"We can't just not get married, can we?"
Huo Zhenhua glanced nervously at the sleeping Su Meng, then at the closed door, and sighed softly, "Uncle, didn't you say we shouldn't force it? I'm trying my best."
Ah Da glanced at Su Meng, his lips twitching. "If you don't make it clear, how can such a stupid girl understand that you want to develop a romantic relationship with her?"
Huo Zhenhua had his back to Su Meng.
He didn't see Su Meng's eyelashes twitch, nor did he have Ah Da's hearing, which allowed him to tell Su Meng was awake by changes in her breathing.
He spoke earnestly, word by word, as solemnly as if he were taking an oath to join the Party: "From the moment I saw her, I knew she was my other half."
"I will marry no one but her in this lifetime!"
Su Meng was shocked!
His eyes rolled rapidly under his eyelids, his long, dark eyelashes trembled, his fists were clenched, and he tried hard to suppress his curiosity without opening his eyes.
Ah Da chuckled and patted Huo Zhenhua's shoulder heavily. "I have faith in you! Can you tell me about your plans now?"
He stayed, firstly to avoid people saying that Huo Zhenhua and Su Meng were a single man and woman; secondly, to help him out.
The Su family couldn't possibly stand by and watch Su Meng be in danger.
Huo Zhenhua was also happy for Ah Da to stay and help him.
He leaned closer and whispered to Ah Da about the deployment.
Su Meng's appearance and injury, and her involvement in the situation, were both unexpected and the result of careful consideration by Commander Tang and others.
Ah Da remained expressionless and affirmed softly, "That's right! But I'm afraid that even the best-laid plans might have a flaw."
Have you ever considered that the Cheng family might not be as innocent as everyone thinks?
"Without an inside mole, how could an outsider have infiltrated the factory area they've controlled for decades?"
Hearing this, Huo Zhenhua's admiration became even more evident. "Uncle, experience truly matters! I admire you!"
They also investigated the Cheng family, but no one was suspected; they were completely innocent, like a blank sheet of paper.
Ah Da scoffed, "His family isn't exactly innocent. Let's wait and see."
After saying that, he dipped his finger in water and wrote a few words, then mysteriously tapped one of the names twice.
As the saying goes, your opponent knows you best.
The Su family and the Cheng family used to be in the same industry, and Ah Da knew the Cheng family's financial situation best.
Huo Zhenhua's expression was solemn. "Uncle, I'm going out for a while."
After Huo Zhenhua left, Su Meng opened her eyes and said innocently, "Uncle, do you think I'm cursed with bad luck?"
My wounds haven't healed yet, and I have to lure the enemy in while injured. Sigh!
Ah Da leaned back in his chair, his hands clasped together on his lap, looking relaxed yet in complete control. "Don't be afraid! Uncle's with you."
Su Meng sighed inwardly; she wasn't afraid.
Rather, she felt uncomfortable after hearing Huo Zhenhua express his true feelings, and used this as a cover-up.
Recalling the moments she shared with him, she reflected on her actions and felt ashamed of herself for sometimes viewing people with prejudice and misunderstanding him.
"I, I..."
Before she could even gather her thoughts, the door was pushed open.
Huo Zhenhua hurriedly returned, holding a newspaper in his hand.
"Xiaomeng, look here." He pointed to the bolded words on the screen. "Look, the new diesel engine has been successfully tested today and will be put into production."
Isn't this diesel engine from the Shanghai Machinery Research Institute very similar to yours?
Su Meng picked up the newspaper and skimmed through it. When she saw the words "Researcher Xiao Chen" on the front, she laughed so hard that it hurt her wound. She hissed and gasped, "Why can't you use your full name?"
A thief is a thief; he can never escape the light of day.
At this moment, Ah Da also saw the newspaper and compared it with Su Meng's notebook, revealing a disdainful look. "Don't panic! This kind of thing is commonplace in the business world."
The data probably wasn't leaked yesterday.
The damage to parts yesterday and the subsequent raid on the factory were just a follow-up.
Fortunately, Su Mengfu was lucky and did not die as they wished.
They cannot openly claim ownership of this research, but by issuing a statement first, they can gain the upper hand in public opinion.
"They planned every step of the way, and they were very clever."
However, by tracing the source of this data leak, we can catch the culprit.
Su Meng rested her chin on her hand as she calmly analyzed the situation.
Huo Zhenhua nodded. "Our military region has already launched an investigation, so don't worry!"
Su Meng casually put the newspaper down. "I'm not worried."
After all, I'm not stupid. I'm used to leaving some room for maneuver until things reach the very last step.
“When I worked at Demon Company before, our supervisor always bullied the new employees.”
She rejected our proposals time and time again, and tried her best to humiliate us.
But at the last minute, the supervisor will take our revised proposal, put his name on it, and hand it over to the supervisor.
Life has taught me a lot, don't worry, I'm very smart!
Ah Da laughed, a mixture of bittersweetness and relief in his eyes. He lightly tapped her head with his finger, saying, "You're the smartest one!"
Huo Zhenhua stared intently at the cunning young girl, his heartstrings trembling, his tenderness and admiration undisguised.
He said lightly, "Indeed clever!"
Su Meng stole a glance at him, only to meet his gaze. She heard his inner thoughts: "Such a strong girl, no wonder she's so outstanding. I must cherish her from now on."
At this moment, she no longer doubted Huo Zhenhua's good intentions, and she would no longer foolishly ask in return, "You would be so kind?"
Recalling the previous times she had asked him the same question, and the frustrated look on his face.
Uh! I feel a little guilty, and also a little sorry for him.
She quickly looked away, pretending not to know anything, and glanced at the newspaper.
