Shen Yuran's mouth was too busy to speak at all.
She imitated Yan Miao, blowing a few breaths into the grilled meat before eating it in big mouthfuls.
Secretly, her eyes met Yan Xu's, and she asked—
What does this have to do with you marrying me?
[This is a business trip, so I have to treat myself properly! I'll be going up against drug lords later, so if I don't get myself in top shape now, I'll be doing myself a disservice!]
Drug lord!
Shen Yuran was extremely sensitive to these words!
Her relaxed body instantly straightened up. How did this get involved with drug lords again?
They're definitely here for a holiday at the border...
Oops!
Miaomiao must be so desperate for merit that she knows there are drug lords here and wants to destroy the drug den all by herself!
Shen Yuran was startled; this woman was too fierce!
Yan Xu had already told her last time that all members of the Yan family could hear Yan Miao's thoughts, including matters of merit, which Shen Yuran also knew very well.
The two guessed that Yan Miao might have accepted her as her sister-in-law, so she could hear her thoughts just like the rest of the Yan family!
Yan Xu, who was standing next to him, also shivered.
He glanced at Shen Yuran pleadingly and mouthed, "Wife, save me!"
"Shut up!"
What are you whispering about?
Yan Miaoguang heard Shen Yuran cursing, and her big eyes were full of questions.
"It's okay, I told him not to answer the phone, it's too annoying!"
Shen Yuran calmly explained, and even fed Yan Miao a few large pieces of meat!
"I think my sister-in-law is right, brother. If we stay any longer, we might get some unexpected benefits!"
Yan Miao opened her little mouth and started giggling happily.
Although she still wanted to hear her sister-in-law scold, she was so hungry that she couldn't think of anything else!
After wolfing down a few mouthfuls of rice, he waved to the distance, asking the owner to bring out a few more dishes.
...........
The next day.
Looking at the desolate village before her, Yan Xu found it hard to accept the contrast in her heart.
Yesterday I was in a bustling, lively market, and even if I was just a tool, I still had enough to eat!
But this morning...
Yan Miao then helped the two of them change into lighter gear, and they rode wild elephants through a primeval jungle to this small border village.
They said they wanted to experience the village's folk customs!
He and Aran didn't even bring any luggage, and she dragged them over with their hair all messy like a bird's nest!
We've just arrived at our destination, and we don't even know where we are!
Shen Yuran was extra vigilant because of the unusual situation here, and her whole body was in a tense state.
Looking around, the village should have at least a hundred or so households, but there's not a single person at the village entrance now.
This doesn't make sense!
My years of military experience told me that something was wrong!
"Bang--"
A sound coming from afar startled the three people present.
Shen Yuran's body stiffened, and he said in a deep voice, "It's gunshots! You all find a place to hide right away, I'll go see what's going on!"
"No, you and Miaomiao hide, I'm going!"
Yan Xu immediately stepped forward and refused to let go, holding onto Shen Yuran's hand tightly.
I was afraid that if I wasn't careful, this cunning rabbit would escape!
"You two find a house to hide in. It's too open outside with no cover. If you run into any trouble, you'll be discovered very quickly! Find a secluded place to hide right now!"
"I'll go check ahead first. If everything's alright, I'll call you. Miaomiao, you have to listen to your sister-in-law, okay?"
"If I'm not back in five minutes, call the police. Don't come out until I'm back!"
Yan Xu said goodbye to the two of them one by one, making it seem as if she would never come back.
[If I said I wanted to go, would you two believe me? I really want to go!]
Yan Xu and Shen Yuran, who were still struggling, paused at the same time.
[No need to call the police, the village is full of soldiers, we can just ask them! My brother can't go alone, we have to go together. If he goes alone, my plans for today will be ruined!]
What plan?
Both of them guessed yesterday that Yan Miao had a purpose in coming here!
But no one could figure out what she was trying to do.
[Whether this guy can finally win over his future father-in-law depends on today! On this day in his past life, in this small border village, Chief Shen and his troops carried out a mission to capture a drug lord!]
However, the drug traffickers received the news first and fled from City C to this small village, taking all 32 children of the village hostage and hiding in a wooden house halfway up the mountain. There is currently a stalemate!
The wooden cabin, nestled against the mountainside, was easily defensible, making it impossible for snipers to target anyone inside! Furthermore, the drug traffickers had taken numerous hostages, making a forced entry by the military highly improbable; otherwise, the children's lives would be in grave danger!
Before long, the drug kingpin, the notorious drug lord "Dragon," will demand that Chief Shen go alone to exchange for the hostages—one Chief Shen for ten children! Chief Shen and Dragon are old enemies. He knows his journey is fraught with danger, but faced with the villagers' desperate pleas, he can't bear to watch the children die in vain, and ultimately agrees.
dad!
Shen Yuran began to struggle against the hand that Yan Xu was holding; she wanted to save him!
Yan Xu was also taken aback!
