They walked slowly until they arrived at the place where they met last time.
This time, Lu Chen didn't let Su Ruoli wait, but took her directly to knock on the door.
The person who opened the door was a man who looked about the same age as Lu Chen and had a dark face.
"Boss, why are you here? Come in." He opened the door and asked, "Is this my sister-in-law?"
"This is my girlfriend, Su Ruoli." Lu Chen introduced, "This is my former comrade, Wang Lei."
The two greeted each other and walked in together. Su Ruoli found that Wang Lei walked with a slight limp, but it was not very noticeable unless you looked closely.
As soon as he entered the room, Lu Chen asked, "Have you made any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate last time?"
"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you." He went to look for something, and a moment later he came back with a stack of papers, "Boss, it's all here, take a look."
Lu Chen took it and glanced at it briefly. "Let's go. You've helped me so much, so I'll treat you to a meal. But you still have to help me find someone for the rest of the process..."
Wang Lei raised his hand and promised, "I understand. I promise to complete the task and will not let them have an easy time."
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's go eat." Lu Chen said.
"Boss, it's just a matter of convenience. You are too polite. But we still have to eat. It would be unreasonable not to have a meal with you when I meet my sister-in-law for the first time." Wang Lei said.
After the matter was settled, they went to the state-owned restaurant together.
It was dinner time, and the small state-owned restaurant was full of people. After much difficulty, they found an empty seat and sat down.
Lu Chen ordered food while Wang Lei chatted with Su Ruoli, "Sister-in-law, how did you get to know our boss?"
"We met by chance, it's a long story." Su Ruoli replied.
"How long have you been together?" Wang Lei continued to ask.
"Not long," Su Ruoli replied. She muttered to herself: Have all men become so gossipy these days? This era is really becoming increasingly confusing.
Su Ruoli couldn't help but think of the men she had met before. Most of them looked serious and rarely showed excessive curiosity about other people's affairs.
But now, this man broke the rules so much that she felt a little surprised.
However, Su Ruoli didn't feel too disgusted. After all, everyone has their own personality and hobbies. Perhaps this man was the kind of person who liked to know about other people's lives. Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved.
However, Su Ruoli decided to be careful. In this world full of variables, protecting one's privacy is particularly important.
She didn't want to bring herself unnecessary trouble because of a momentary negligence.
At this time, Lu Chen came back after ordering the food. "What are you talking about?"
"I'm curious about how you two know each other." Wang Lei chuckled.
After a while, they heard their numbers being called, and Lu Chen and Wang Lei went to serve the dishes.
After dinner, Wang Lei said goodbye and went back. Su Ruoli and Lu Chen walked slowly out of the state-owned hotel, chatting as they walked.
Su Ruoli remembered Wang Lei's walking posture and asked, "Did your comrade have a leg injury?"
"Well, during a mission, he was shot in the leg. Although his leg was saved, he could no longer stay in the army." Lu Chen said with some sadness.
Su Ruoli sighed deeply, feeling a surge of emotion. She knew that those soldiers had used their lives and youth to silently protect this land, safeguarding the country's security and the people's peace.
They left their homes and loved ones and engaged in arduous training and dangerous missions.
No matter it was freezing cold or scorching hot, or windy or rainy, they rushed to the battlefield without hesitation, fighting a desperate battle with the enemy with their firm will and fearless courage.
Their figures can be seen at border outposts, coastal defense fronts, disaster rescue sites... Wherever there is a need, there are their footprints.
They put the interests of the country above their own, gave up their comfortable lives and personal interests, and shouldered the responsibility of defending the motherland without hesitation.
Su Ruoli couldn't help but look up at Lu Chen, "You are all the cutest people."
Lu Chen smiled and ruffled Su Ruoli's hair. "These are what he should do. Defending the country is the responsibility of every soldier."
Su Ruoli nodded and said, "While defending our country, we must also protect ourselves."
"Okay! It's hard to say I won't get hurt, but even if I'm covered in bruises and shattered, what does it matter? Even if I only have one breath left, even if I'm dragging my broken body, I will do everything I can to hold on until the last moment, just to see you again!" Lu Chen said seriously.
At the end of the conversation, Su Ruoli's eyes were red and she slapped Lu Chen, "What are you doing?"
Lu Chen gently hugged Su Ruoli and said, "I just want to tell you how firm my love for you is."
Su Ruoli leaned in Lu Chen's arms, feeling his warmth. "I know, I understand without you having to say it. If you get hurt, you must wait for me. As long as I have a breath left, I can bring you back to life. Don't give up, okay?"
"I know that Xiao Li'er is the most powerful." Lu Chen rubbed Su Ruoli's head.
"I'm telling you not to get hurt." Su Ruoli snorted.
"I know. I will protect myself." Lu Chen looked around and saw no one else. "After all, I haven't found a wife yet."
"Speaking of this, why didn't you explain in the photo studio at that time? We weren't married yet." Su Ruoli looked up at Lu Chen.
"What's there to explain? You're going to marry me sooner or later anyway." Lu Chen said with a smile.
