The big boss was secretly pleased, but he went along with Old Master Mu's words. He had to appease the old man and pave a smooth road for his great-grandson to get married.
The high-ranking leader chimed in, "You're right. I often think that this kid must have been refined in Laozi's alchemy furnace like Sun Wukong, otherwise how could his eyes be so sharp?"
At this point, Old Master Mu was completely unaware that he had been tricked by the big boss, and was so smug that he was almost out of his mind.
At this moment, the senior leader said again: "The safety of the little girl must be taken very seriously. She has shown such amazing ability again today. Those enemy agents will probably not let this go."
In the mind of the top leader, this was not just a matter of Xu Xinning's safety; Xu Xinning was carrying his future great-granddaughter-in-law! How could he not take it seriously?
Grandpa Mu finally calmed down, then slammed his fist on the table in anger. "Damn it, why is our life so unstable? They always like to do these shady things behind our backs. I really want to grab a gun and fight them to the death."
The senior leader said, "I'll talk to Xiao Shao and ask him to send more people to stay with the girl. I heard your second son applied to stay by his wife's side?"
Grandpa Mu: "What happened yesterday scared the boy. It's good that way. It's more convenient for him to guard her himself. After all, the girl is pregnant, and the other young comrades are too embarrassed to protect her closely. There will always be places they miss."
The senior leader said, "That's good. Xiao Shao is under a lot of pressure, so let Lao Jiang make the arrangements. We must be vigilant, after all, we are in the open while the enemy is in the dark."
In a small courtyard in a certain alley.
Amidst the clattering sound of things falling to the ground, someone angrily shouted, "What are you all good for? How come you can't even handle a pregnant woman? Such a good opportunity, and they only had three people including the driver, while you had eight people, yet you couldn't even catch a pregnant woman, and three of you even got caught."
"We've already alerted them by missing this opportunity. What other good opportunities do you think we'll have? The higher-ups have already organized people to protect her. Do you know what we've lost by losing her? Do you think she's just an insignificant doctor? Do you know how many good prescriptions she has? Do you know how miraculous the medicines she develops are?"
The room was a mess, with broken teapots and cups scattered on the floor. The man stood with his hands shoved angrily onto his hips.
The person opposite had casts on their hands and feet, and their face was covered in patches of red medicine, making them look like a tattered ugly doll.
The person opposite had their face obscured by the beaded curtain, making it impossible to see their features.
"We must organize another operation. I will inform you when the time is right. Success is the only option. Even if only one person is left, we must bring her back to our country. With her, our country's medical skills can improve for several years. As long as we bring her back and treat her well, she will definitely be of use to us."
"Hi!"
"Tell Huang Que to cooperate with you. She has more opportunities than you do. As long as she takes action, you will definitely succeed."
Speaking of Huang Que, the man was disdainful. He looked down on Huang Que for being indecisive and lacking any sense of national pride.
"What's with that look on your face? Don't underestimate her. Your whole team is no match for her. Do you know how much useful information she's provided us?"
The man lowered his head, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
Xu Xinning went to her room to rest as soon as she returned to the compound, and it was already dark when she woke up.
After washing up and going downstairs, I saw Grandpa Mu sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, Mu Zhenting and Wu's second son playing chess, while Wu's second son's wife was sitting on the side chatting with Mu Jingheng.
Seeing Xu Xinning helping herself down the stairs, Mu Jingheng quickly stood up and went to greet her.
Mu Jingheng: "Are you hungry?"
Xu Xinning smiled and nodded.
Mu Jingheng: "Auntie made braised pork ribs and also stewed seaweed soup for you."
Xu Xinning knew it was getting late, so she asked, "Have you eaten?"
Mu Jingheng: "We've all eaten. Auntie's keeping your food warm."
Actually, Xu Xinning likes to eat cold food on such a hot day, but her aunt thinks it's not good for pregnant women to eat cold food, so she keeps it warm.
The second daughter-in-law of the Wu family seemed to be in better spirits than the last time she saw her. Xu Xinning was surprised that the couple would come to visit together. In the past, the couple were quite at odds, but now it seemed that their relationship was showing signs of warming up.
Will they get divorced again now?
Strangely enough, Mu Zhenting, Jiang's father, and Wu's second son seem to be in the same boat, with similar romantic experiences. The first two have already divorced, and now only Wu's second son remains.
Anyway, it's still too early to say anything for sure.
In short, the person who had been talking about getting a divorce for years didn't actually get one, while the other two got divorced suddenly, just like that.
Wu's second son's wife: "You're up? You must be exhausted these past two days. I only found out about yesterday's incident today. I hope I didn't scare you. That bastard, how could he not even spare a pregnant woman?"
Xu Xinning smiled and said, "It's all in the past, I'm fine."
Wu's second son's wife sighed and said, "How could nothing have happened? Only you are so carefree. If it were someone else, the consequences would be unimaginable. When I heard about it today, my legs went weak with fear."
At this moment, Wu's second son suddenly interjected, "Your legs are so weak they're practically trembling. You're sickly all year round. When have you ever been strong?"
Xu Xinning couldn't help but burst out laughing.
I never expected that the second son of the Wu family would be so interesting.
Grandpa Mu glared at Wu's second son and said, "You're proud that your wife is sickly all year round? Be more careful with her in the future, and stop talking nonsense all the time. Your father is worried about you!"
The second son of the Wu family, with his eyes never leaving the chessboard, chimed in, "The old man is worrying for nothing."
Grandpa Mu: "You're not even forty years old, yet you still act like an immature young boy. Your father isn't in good health, so don't upset him."
Wu's second son: "You flatter me too much. I have the eldest son's family, and my old man is surrounded by his children and grandchildren and doing very well!"
Grandpa Mu: "You kid, you are you, and your brother is your brother. How could your dad not worry about you? As long as you and your wife are doing well, your dad won't worry so much."
Wu's second son: "Yes, yes, you're right. Hey! Lei Zhenzi, how could you attack me while I was talking to my uncle? Uncle, your son is cheating, you have to do something about it."
Mu Zhenting snorted and said, "All's fair in war. Are you still a child? Don't tattle at the drop of a hat. How old are you? You're still acting like a child."
Xu Xinning wanted to laugh; she never expected their relationship to be like this.
While serving Xu Xinning soup, Mu Jingheng said, "Laugh if you want to, don't hold it in."
Wu's second son's wife couldn't help but laugh out loud: "They've always been like this. Don't be fooled by their stern faces; it's all just for show."
