Yan Daqiang pedaled his bicycle at the speed of a motorcycle, speeding towards the military region. Once there, he slowed down and leisurely walked towards his office.
Bao Guo ran ahead to open the door and make tea, everything was exactly the same as usual. After closing the door, Yan Daqiang picked up the internal phone and connected to Xue Honggen's landline.
"Dad, I have something to tell you. Are you free now?" Xue Honggen heard Yan Daqiang's urgent voice as soon as he picked up the phone.
Xue Honggen's heart raced. Yan Daqiang was always a calm person, only becoming anxious when something happened.
"I'm free now. Come over here and tell me what this is all about," Xue Honggen said calmly.
Yan Daqiang entered Xue Honggen's office. Bao Guo and Xue Honggen's bodyguards stood at the door, pacing around from time to time, and the security measures were very thorough.
When Yan Daqiang told Xue Honggen what Ye Chenming had said, Xue Honggen nodded without showing much surprise. Yan Daqiang, on the other hand, was surprised. It seemed that his father-in-law knew about this.
"We don't know their motives yet, so we're letting it go. Of course, someone is keeping an eye on them, and we'll take action if anything happens," Xue Honggen said smugly.
"If someone is watching, is Nan Nan in danger?" Yan Daqiang became even more nervous.
"No, the person watching them has already infiltrated their ranks. We make contact with him every time we go on field training," Xue Honggen replied.
"Why don't we just shut it down? There's nothing we can't find out through interrogation. Nan Nan wants to grow cotton there. If something happens, we'll regret it and won't be able to find the land anymore," Yan Daqiang suggested.
Xue Honggen nodded. The higher-ups had the same idea. They didn't want to play hide-and-seek with them anymore and wanted him to send people to wipe out this den as soon as possible. He leaned close to Yan Daqiang's ear and said, "This time I'm giving you a chance, a chance to make a contribution. It's up to you whether you can seize it."
Yan Daqiang stood at attention and saluted: "I guarantee to complete the mission."
The next morning, Yan Daqiang and Bao Guocai returned to the courtyard house. Xue Ying hadn't slept all night. Hearing the familiar car sound, she rushed to open the door. Yan Daqiang patted Xue Ying's hair and said, "It's alright, it's good news."
Xue Ying rolled her eyes at Yan Daqiang. He had said the same thing to her before he was shot and lost consciousness last time.
"I'm going to see my mother." Yan Daqiang went to the north room. Grandma Yan sat by the bed, looking at Yan Xiaonan who was sleeping soundly, her worried brows furrowed.
Ye Chenming explained the whole story to her in detail, and even emphasized that he would guarantee that no one was following her. Grandma Yan said she was relieved, but she was even more worried in her heart. How would her precious child grow cotton in the future? But how could she complete the mission if she didn't grow cotton?
"Mom, didn't you sleep all night?" Yan Daqiang looked at his mother disapprovingly.
"No, I just got up. Cuihua and Qiangzi didn't sleep all night. Daqiang, what should we do?" Grandma Yan seemed to have found her pillar of support when she saw her eldest son come in.
"It's okay, I'll clean up all this trash," Yan Daqiang said confidently.
"Oh, is that so? Are you in any danger?" Grandma Yan suddenly realized that she seemed to have endless worries, concerned about this and that.
"Mom, don't worry, your son is a veteran. This little bug is nothing to me. How's Nannan?" Yan Daqiang changed the subject.
Speaking of Nan Nan, Grandma Yan looked at Yan Xiao Nan and their eyes met.
Seeing that Yan Xiaonan was awake, Grandma Yan smiled happily: "My good baby, how are you feeling? Is anything uncomfortable? Are you hungry? Grandma will go get you something to eat."
Yan Xiaonan grabbed her grandmother's hand: "Grandma, I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine, I'll be alright after a good night's sleep."
After saying that, the superpower entered Grandma Yan's body and nourished her.
Grandma Yan felt a warm sensation in her body, and the fatigue from not sleeping all night evaporated instantly. She felt relieved; her precious child was alright.
"Nan Nan, you are not allowed to go to that mountain without my permission, understand?" Yan Daqiang said sternly to Yan Xiaonan.
"Uncle, are you getting ready to take action? Take me with you, I can guide you," Yan Xiaonan said excitedly.
"Nonsense! You should study hard and stay home. You're not allowed to get involved in war." Yan Daqiang became even more serious.
Grandma Yan looked at Yan Xiaonan disapprovingly: "My dear child, you've never been trained, how can you fight bad guys? Grandma won't allow you to go."
“Grandma, I won’t go near. I’ll stay in a safe place far away. I have special abilities and can see what’s happening in the mountains,” Yan Xiaonan said.
Yan Daqiang's heart skipped a beat. This was a good idea. With such a powerful cheat device, wouldn't the operation be much more strategic? However, if Yan Xiaonan wanted to participate in the battle, a redeployment would be necessary.
"I'll go back and discuss it with your Grandpa Xue, and then I'll let you know. You can go do whatever you need to do." Yan Daqiang checked the time, turned around and left. There were too many things to do, and every second had to be cherished.
Xue Ying stood motionless in the courtyard. When she saw Yan Daqiang come out, she quickly ran over and asked, "Old Yan, give me the truth, is it dangerous?"
Yan Daqiang replied with a smile, "Is catching mice dangerous?"
There's no place in the world that isn't dangerous. Even walking on the street, you never know what might happen in the next minute. So, can we just stay home?
Southwest was also worried all night. Seeing that her parents and grandmother were in the north room, she took on the responsibility of taking care of the two children. Ye Chen'er and Yan Aidang also went to the kitchen to cook the food. Even though they couldn't eat now, they would probably fight over it when Nan Nan woke up.
Yan Xiaonan hugged her grandma: "Grandma, I'm going to school now. I have exams starting today, and then I'll have a holiday."
Grandma Yan looked at her beloved granddaughter with concern: "My dear, you have to promise that you're safe before I'll let you go. Otherwise, I won't let you go."
"I promise there's no danger, Grandma, don't worry, eat and drink as usual," Yan Xiaonan said, raising her right hand.
Grandma Yan was relieved; her precious daughter's words were law, and she would definitely keep her promise.
Ye Chen'er and Yan Aidang had already brought out breakfast, and were just waiting for everyone to finish eating and take their places.
Seeing Yan Xiaonan helping Grandma Yan out, Ye Chen'er smiled, knowing that Nannan would definitely be alright.
Xue Ying looked at Yan Xiaonan and suddenly had some guesses in her mind, but the clever girl did not ask them. Some things are better left unsaid.
Yan Xiaonan didn't see her parents. Cuihua and Yan Xiaoqiang had been sent back home by Grandma Yan last night. "My baby is sleeping so soundly, are you two going to stay here like owls? Go to sleep!" But the two of them had things on their minds and couldn't sleep peacefully.
