The first person she thought of was Xiao Xing, who transferred several sums of money to her from an unknown account every month. When she sent her a message to ask about it, the other party quickly denied it.
—The money is all handed over to my mother for management, not mine.
Come to think of it, Xiao Xing transferred all his earnings to her, and this money wasn't something that could be earned easily. Jiang Shu's other guess was that it was Ace.
When asked, Ace admitted it.
—This is money I earned myself, so I can't go to the event. Mother, please convey my wishes for Grandma's happiness.
Ace was getting the hang of the "stock" mini-game, and this gift money was his first pot of gold. After giving it away, he didn't have many mission points left.
However, he still lives in his father's small tent and doesn't need any money.
After Jiang Shuyin figured it out, she had the person registering write down Ace's name.
Back in the private room, the dishes were laid out to the brim.
The people at the table rarely get to eat such good food; their mouths were all glistening with oil.
There was still an empty seat left for her next to Xie Yin. Seeing the food in her bowl, she smiled at him and said, "Thank you, these are all my favorites."
At the wedding banquet, Zheng Lanxiang, dressed in a bright red toasting dress, walked out hand in hand with Xiao Youliang to greet everyone. At each table, laughter from men and women could be heard.
The large electronic screen in front of them was scrolling through wedding photos taken last weekend, with the women in the photos beaming with happiness.
This is a good day for Mom.
Jiang Shu poured herself a glass of wine, and with one hand holding the glass out, she poured one for Xie Yin as well.
He clinked glasses with her, raised his glass to her, and said: Cheers!
Xie Yin followed closely behind.
After the meal, Zheng Lanxiang couldn't find anyone anywhere.
After seeing the guests off, my second sister, her family, and Lao Xiao's daughter asked, "Haven't you found it yet?"
Xiao Yin shook her head: I hope my sister won't cause any trouble.
Zheng Meixiang pulled her younger sister aside and whispered, "Xiaoyin must be feeling bad about your wedding. I saw her drink quite a bit of liquor at the table. When you get back, talk to her nicely, and don't upset my niece."
"Second sister, I saw her looking happy the whole time. I didn't expect this child to have been holding it in all this time. If I had known she was suffering, why would I have gotten married?" Zheng Lanxiang's words were sincere.
Zhong Ping, being observant, chimed in, "My sister's boyfriend isn't here either. Did those two leave together?"
Zheng Lanxiang called Xie Yin, and he answered quickly. She felt like she had found her pillar of support: "Is Xiao Yin with you?"
"Yes, she's asleep." Xie Yin looked down at the unconscious person in his arms: "At home."
Zheng Lanxiang left Xiao Youliang behind and rushed home. When she reached the second-floor door, she suddenly stopped, looking slightly hesitant: Should I go in?
Xie Yin was also looking at Zheng Lanxiang through the wall and door, the most important woman to him.
The fact that he shed tears at her wedding suggests that weddings are not meaningless to people.
"Let's get married."
Therefore, the Black Mist Clan held a clan meeting that was a rare gathering, one that happened only once every hundred years.
Xie Yin required them to participate using humanoid mimicry, and each of them had to say an auspicious phrase of no less than eight characters. The number of Keltons participating had to be no less than fifty.
Before I could even discuss it with her, a shocking secret went viral online: the vanished mutants had actually established a nation under the leadership of a mutant king.
The location was in the war-torn country of Y. The mutants cut off the country's network on the eve of their invasion, so no one paid attention for a long time. At that time, the country of Y was already battered and bruised by its neighboring countries. The mutants took advantage of the situation and captured the military fortress in just one month, turning all the living people into low-level mutants.
This news broke because a person living in a border city discovered it when returning home from working in a neighboring country—both their home and country had been stolen.
In order to survive, he stayed underground for three days to avoid the convoy of mutant patrols, and walked back to the neighboring country after traveling through many places. Only then did he post about the incident online in the neighboring country, which instantly caused a huge uproar.
The superpower was the first to pick up on this news. Upon investigation, it turned out to be true. They immediately convened a conference to discuss how to send troops to punish the enemy. Each party had its own selfish motives, not wanting to lose elites, but also wanting to gain more benefits.
Meanwhile, the mutants had already begun deploying their defenses, mobilizing the entire population as soldiers. Furthermore, the advanced mutants were absolutely obedient to the king's orders, making it difficult for any country's land forces to win.
Elite teams and special task forces from various cities were incorporated into the military and received support from the army, navy, and air force to go to country Y to eliminate dissidents. Jiang Shuyin and Xie Yin were among them.
Zheng Lanxiang cried again and tried to stop him, but Xiao Youliang spoke loudly to her for the first time: "It is our duty to fight for the country. Without the greater good, there is no family."
With red eyes, Zheng Lanxiang scolded him, "You say you don't need to go, of course it's easy for you to say. She's my only support, why do I always have to ask her to go? She's just a woman, all I want is for her to get married, have children, and live a good life. Now, she's living in constant fear..."
Xiao Youliang looked at her silently, his eyes cold: "Zheng Lanxiang, without her sacrifices, what would you be doing now? What is the foundation of your imagined good life? If the higher-ups need me, I would go to my death without hesitation."
The two began a cold war. Jiang Shuyin went to the training center for inspection as soon as the announcement was issued. She and Xie Yin were both at the best level S and were transferred to the first squad, commanded by Shen Wei.
Jiang Shuyin recognized the name. When the commander arrived, she stood in the middle of the group and looked at him from a distance, thinking that it might be a coincidence of names. Shen Wei had a delicate appearance, so how could he be the one-eyed, one-armed person in front of her?
He withdrew his gaze and listened intently to the battle plan: "...As the team directly confronting the mutants, we must not only inflict heavy losses on the enemy, but also create opportunities for air force artillery fire. Since the mutant groups are concentrated, we must first disperse them and defeat them one by one..."
