When Zhang Dongsheng heard Li Xiyue's question, his expression became even more serious, which was completely inconsistent with Zhang Dongsheng's usual sneaky image.
This was also one of the few times Li Xiyue had seen Zhang Dongsheng so serious.
The more Zhang Dongsheng remained silent, the more curious Li Xiyue became about what mission had caused everyone to fall silent.
She pressed, "You'll have to tell me then! Is Mu Cangnan's mission dangerous? How dangerous? The kind where he could be killed at any moment?"
The other younger brothers all looked at Zhang Dongsheng. Clearly, they didn't dare to answer casually. Zhang Dongsheng was their leader, and if anyone was to answer, it would be Zhang Dongsheng.
Unable to escape Li Xiyue's persistent questioning, Zhang Dongsheng could only say, "It's dangerous."
There are no extra words, only four words.
Li Xiyue's lips twitched. This answer... was tantamount to no answer at all...
She rolled her eyes and said, "Hearing your words is better than reading a book. Can you spout any more nonsense?"
Zhang Dongsheng said, "Sure, if it weren't dangerous, would we let him go? Is there even a question?"
The eldest brother kept looking at you as he was leaving, wanting to say a few words. Why didn't you pay any attention to him?
This was what bothered him the most. He could tell that his eldest son wanted to have a private conversation with Li Xiyue.
But Li Xiyue completely ignored their eldest son!
He was watching from the sidelines and he was getting anxious for his eldest son!
I don't even know if I'll come back alive after this mission...
If you don't say it, you might never have the chance to say it again!
Li Xiyue said, "Does he want to talk to me? I don't know."
Mi Bao said in the space, "What's the point of asking? If you ask, you just don't know!"
Li Xiyue said to Mi Bao, "I really don't know! I'm not making excuses."
Honeybee's eyes lit up; it still thought Li Xiyue was doing it on purpose.
It laughed and said, "So you really didn't know? That's good, that's good. I thought you didn't want to talk to Mu Cangnan anymore!"
Zhang Dongsheng turned around and glanced at Li Xiyue. He said, "You don't know? Can't you at least put your mind to it?"
"My eldest child is really something, how did he fall for you?!"
Cheng Xiaohui said, "This child! Don't talk nonsense. The two of them aren't dating, and there's no official relationship between them. You can't just say things like that!"
Countless tiny flames instantly erupted from Zhang Dongsheng's head as he retorted, "What do you mean there's no clear path? What do you mean there's no romance? The two of them have been in a relationship all along!"
My eldest son's dating application has already been submitted to the higher-ups!
Cheng Xiaohui asked, "Did the higher-ups approve it? Did they organize an investigation? Shouldn't the investigation have been completed before approval? Why haven't I heard about an investigation going to Yue'er's school?"
Knowing Mu Cangnan's identity, she knew that if she wanted to date him, she would definitely need to investigate the woman's records, her family history, and where she was currently studying or working.
Most importantly, it is necessary to understand the woman's ideological situation with the organization department of her workplace. It is essential to ensure that the woman has a good political background before approving Mu Cangnan's relationship with her.
She had never heard Du Jingshan mention that an investigation letter had been sent to the school to inquire about Li Xiyue's situation.
There was no investigation letter, no inquiry into Li Xiyue's situation, so the organization definitely hasn't approved their relationship yet!
Zhang Dongsheng was speechless after being rebuked. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He had a sullen face and wanted to stand up for his boss.
But I'm also afraid of offending my boss's future father-in-law, which would make it even harder for my boss and Li Xiyue to date and get married in the future!
He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and turned his head away, ignoring Cheng Xiaohui.
Cheng Xiaohui continued, "Let me tell you, my daughter isn't dating yet, so don't spread rumors outside!"
They were not in a romantic relationship before the organization approved their relationship!
My daughter is a top student at a medical university. She and Professor Du jointly developed a DNA testing instrument that fills a gap in both national and global knowledge!
With my daughter's qualifications, she has no trouble finding a partner. Even if she were to find someone, she would only look for someone who poses no danger to her life!
Does that mean I'll become a widow at any time after I marry him and have to raise the child all by myself?
"We were all born of human parents, how can you be so heartless?!"
Zhang Dongsheng's face turned deathly pale with anger. If he weren't afraid of causing trouble for his boss, he would have already thrown a punch!
Li Xiyue quickly tugged at her mother's arm and said, "Mom, what are you saying?! Don't talk nonsense! Mu Cangnan went on a mission, and it's dangerous. He's already in a very difficult situation!"
Cheng Xiaohui said, "Everyone loves their own daughter! Outsiders only watch the show and make snide remarks!"
Only your mother truly loves you and cares for you. Your mother is not afraid of offending people; she only hopes that you will find a good man who can love you, take care of you, and help you raise your children!
And don't let your life be in danger every day, or let you become a widow at any time! Do you think Mom's requirements are too high?
I don't care about dowries or anything like that. If you want to get married, I'll give you a large dowry!
As long as you, Mom, are happy and content, it would be worth closing my eyes right now!
Mibao wanted to complain about Cheng Xiaohui in the space, but it just couldn't find a reason to complain!
Cheng Xiaohui truly cares for Li Xiyue, and the concerns Cheng Xiaohui has are indeed valid...
It said to Li Xiyue, "Yue'er! Mu Cangnan is really, really good! If you choose to marry him, I promise you won't regret it!"
Even if his life is in danger, we're not afraid. We have a spatial portal; let's go rescue him!
Li Xiyue said, "I know. I can save him. No matter how things develop between us in the future, I will definitely protect him on this mission!"
The car was still parked in the wilderness for everyone to camp and rest.
Li Xiyue asked Mi Bao to go find Du Jingshan and ask how the antidote was coming along.
Mibao checked Du Jingshan's location and found that Du Jingshan had already returned to school.
Du Jingshan sneaked out on his own, so he could return to school via a spatial passage without anyone noticing.
It arrived at the school and found Du Jingshan's office empty and deserted. It found Du Jingshan in the laboratory.
Du Jingshan is preparing medicine for Li Xiyue's parents.
He returned to Li Xiyue's side and told her about the situation.
Li Xiyue felt a little relieved, at least the medicine was still being prepared.
This medicine needs to be prepared before the medicine that delays the onset of toxicity runs out.
Mibao searched for Mu Cangnan's location and found that Mu Cangnan was currently in the border garrison military area.
It seems that Mu Cangnan has already entered the military region where the troops are stationed. There is one thing she doesn't understand: why did Mu Cangnan insist on coming to carry out this mission?
This is so dangerous! Mu Cangnan is clearly a researcher; there's no need for him to go to the battlefield!
She ran through the spatial passage to see Mu Cangnan; she was determined to save Mu Cangnan's life!
