The matter of the Northwest food shortage was first brought up by Yu Mingxiang, so Gu Guanhai didn't hide anything from her. "During this time, Ji Zicheng has been overseeing the grain procurement. We've purchased a large amount of grain, but..."
"But problems arose during the transportation of the grain."
"Foreign forces seem to have learned about our food shortage and have temporarily adjusted the port restrictions, limiting the transport of grain!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang exclaimed, "!!!"
His face immediately darkened.
With winter approaching, if that batch of grain cannot be transported back to the country on time, the Northwest will likely repeat the mistakes of the past and fall into famine once again.
"They did it on purpose!"
Yu Mingxiang said in a deep voice, "Why did they adjust the ban now that we've finished purchasing the grain? Isn't this clearly an attempt to trip us up and make us lose everything?"
Gu Guanhai heard this: ...
He remained silent with a dark expression.
The matter is out in the open; just as his wife said, it's obvious this is aimed at them.
"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!"
Gu Guanhai cursed under his breath and turned to leave, but...
Yu Mingxiang reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Let me go!"
She said.
Gu Guanhai exclaimed upon hearing this: "!!!"
His expression changed drastically.
What nonsense are you spouting?
He said in a deep, stern voice, "Do you know what you mean to the Xia Kingdom?"
"You are the person the organization went to great lengths to protect, send a clerk to record your words and actions, reduce my rank, and send me home to be with you!"
"Because of you, even my ability to leave the country is restricted. You want to leave the country?"
"Wife, stop making a fuss."
As Gu Guanhai spoke, he tried to remove Yu Mingxiang's hand from his grasp.
But.
Yu Mingxiang, however, wouldn't let go of him.
"I didn't make a scene."
She looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Don't forget, I'm also a member of the Supernatural Abilities Bureau!"
"Gu Guanhai, do you think the organization didn't discover the food shortage in the Northwest in your previous life? Do you think the organization didn't consider purchasing food from abroad to solve this food shortage?"
Gu Guanhai exclaimed upon hearing this: "!!!"
His expression froze.
Yu Mingxiang: "They must have found out! They just didn't manage to bring the grain back!"
"That's life-saving food for countless compatriots, Gu Guanhai. I don't want the tragedy of my past life to repeat itself. I want to apply to carry out this mission!"
Their eyes met.
Yu Mingxiang looked at Gu Guanhai and said, word by word, "Only I can complete this mission, can't I?"
Gu Guanhai was speechless upon hearing this.
He looked at her for a long while with a complicated expression.
His gaze swept over her protruding belly, "I..."
He closed his eyes tightly and said, "I have received your mission request and will consider it carefully."
The sound falls.
Gu Guanhai slowly and solemnly removed Yu Mingxiang's hand and strode away.
Yu Mingxiang: ...
Watching Gu Guanhai's departing figure, he couldn't help but say, "Gu Guanhai, so many lives are at stake, you can't let personal matters overshadow public duty!"
Gu Guanhai: "!!!"
The departing figure froze.
The pace quickened again.
Half an hour later.
A conference call was held.
In addition to Gu Guanhai, Lao Yuan, and several heads of relevant units, there were also leaders present at the meeting.
After the normal meeting and discussion, several people left the conference call, leaving only Gu Guanhai, Lao Yuan, and the leader still online.
Gu Guanhai: ...
After much deliberation, he finally said, "Yu Mingxiang, I request to participate in the battle."
These words were spoken.
The two people on the other end of the phone: "!!!"
At the same time, silence fell.
