Zhong Ye stared intently at Li Xiangyang. He didn't want to believe it, but his reason told him that Li Xiangyang had no reason to lie to him like this.
Zhong Ye felt as if all his strength had suddenly been drained away, and his belief in his heart had vanished. He didn't know what all his efforts over the years had been for.
Was it to gain her father's attention?
Or does he really want to integrate into his own country?
Zhong Ye never knew who his superiors were. He always did whatever his superiors told him to do. Moreover, many people in his team were directly assigned to him by his superiors, and the researchers in the laboratory were also sent by his superiors.
Zhong Ye had always thought that his superior was a single person, but from Li Xiangyang's words, he could tell that his superior was not a single person, but rather a group.
Li Xiangyang: "Zhong Ye, would you believe me if I said your father only used you as a pawn?"
Zhong Ye managed to utter three more words: "You're talking nonsense!"
Li Xiangyang: "You know very well whether I'm lying or not. Someone as smart as you doesn't believe you haven't had any doubts."
Zhong Ye remained silent.
Suspect?
How could he not have had doubts?
He's just someone who likes to deceive himself.
The two newly arrived leaders overheard Li Xiangyang and Zhong Ye's conversation at the door. Instead of rushing in, they chose to stand at the door.
Li Xiangyang: "Do you know where your half-brother is now?"
Li Xiangyang didn't wait for Zhong Ye's reply, and seemed to be talking to himself: "He's in Kyoto now. Your father sent him to the Kyoto Military Region compound. As long as he can steal some important information in the military region compound, his status after returning to the country is self-evident. As for you, you're just a logistics person. No matter what the results of the laboratory are, it seems to have nothing to do with you."
Zhong Ye was so angry he was practically fuming, and as if he had lost the ability to speak, he managed to squeeze out three more words: "You're talking nonsense!"
Li Xiangyang laughed, then added sarcastically, "Zhong Ye, I think you're truly pathetic!"
Zhong Ye could no longer control his emotions and suddenly screamed "Ah!"
Fan Yao was also implicated by Zhong Ye this time, and the higher-ups started investigating him. If it weren't for his old partner standing up for him, he might not be here today.
Before coming here, he didn't believe that Zhong Ye was from Xiao Ri Zi's side, but now he understood everything.
Alas! His judgment of people was never as good as his old partner's.
Li Xiangyang had many things to deal with, so he stayed in the army. Mu Jingheng returned to Lihua Village that day, planning to go with Xu Xinning to assist Mu Jinghuai the next day according to the route map.
As soon as Mu Jingheng arrived at Pear Blossom Village, he saw Xiao Bao standing at the entrance of the village, looking into the distance. When she saw Mu Jingheng, she ran over to him.
Mu Jingheng: "Xiao Bao, are you waiting for your brother?"
Xiao Bao looked at Mu Jingheng, then gazed into the distance and asked, "Brother, where's my dad?"
Since Li Xiangyang returned, Xiaobao has hardly left his side for the past two days, even having to stay by Li Xiangyang's side while sleeping at night.
This sudden return to her father made Xiaobao feel anxious and uncertain, as if her father might disappear again at any moment.
When Li Xiangyang and Mu Jingheng went out in the morning, Xiaobao didn't want to leave Li Xiangyang, but after so many years of being cautious in the village, she had long since learned to read people's expressions. Although she was reluctant to leave, she knew that her father really had something to do, so she could only wait silently.
Mu Jingheng patted Xiaobao's head and said softly, "Daddy has something to do. Don't worry, Xiaobao, Daddy will come back after he finishes his business. From now on, you can live with Daddy all the time."
Xiao Bao's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Really?"
Mu Jingheng smiled and said, "Of course it's true."
Xiao Bao seemed to be thinking of something, and then pouted and said, "Mom said Dad is a soldier, and soldiers have to protect the country."
Mu Jingheng: "Yes! We must protect the country, but we must also protect our families."
Xiao Bao: "If Dad goes to the army, won't I never see Dad again?"
Mu Jingheng: "Xiao Bao and Mom can also live with Dad at the military base!"
Xiao Bao exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Brother, are you serious? Does that mean I'm a little soldier in the People's Liberation Army too?"
Mu Jingheng: "If Xiaobao is willing, he can become a glorious soldier like his father when he grows up."
Xiao Bao: "Okay! Then I will try my best to grow up, work hard, earn money, and eat well. That way I will definitely grow up very fast."
Mu Jingheng was amused by Xiaobao and replied, "Yes! Our Xiaobao must grow up quickly, eat well, study hard, and grow up to become a glorious People's Liberation Army soldier."
Xiao Bao was overjoyed. She wanted to tell her mother about the decision as soon as possible. She took off running and ran as fast as she could. Even after she had run far away, she didn't forget to turn back and urge Mu Jingheng: "Brother, hurry up, you're walking too slowly."
Mu Jingheng: "Xiao Bao is really amazing, even your older brother can't outrun you."
Xiao Bao proudly said, "Of course! I'm going to be a member of the People's Liberation Army in the future."
Children's wishes are that simple, and their happiness is that simple too.
Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng left before dawn. They did not say goodbye to Miao Yiya and her daughter, as both of them were the kind of people who disliked the sadness of parting.
Before leaving, the two took out a lot of food from their space, and also prepared cloth and cotton for Xiaobao and Miao Yiya. With the New Year approaching, they could make new cotton clothes for them.
As Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng closed the courtyard gate, Miao Yiya upstairs was standing at the window watching the departing people.
Miao Yiya also disliked parting, but she couldn't bear to leave the two of them, so she stood upstairs and quietly said goodbye.
Miao Yiya was very grateful for Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng's arrival. If it weren't for their arrival, the darkness in the village would never have seen the light; if it weren't for their arrival, she would never have known what happened to her parents; if it weren't for their arrival, Li Xiangyang would never have been able to return to their side alive.
Miao Yiya felt that Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng were the source of all hope for her and her daughter. In her heart, they were her benefactors and her family.
Regardless of whether they have the chance to meet again in the future, Miao Yiya will always keep them in her heart.
The mountains were damp in the early morning as the two set off towards their destination, bathed in the morning light.
While on their journey, they didn't give up on any good medicinal herbs they saw. Occasionally, they would chase rabbits or wild deer for a while, and when they got tired, they would have a barbecue. With space, they had no shortage of any seasonings, so the food they made was naturally delicious. Sometimes, it would even attract people from nearby villages who came up the mountain to chop firewood.
Although it didn't interfere with eating and drinking, the two of them made good use of the space and traveled quite fast. Just as they sat down to eat something the next afternoon, they suddenly heard gunshots in the distance.
