Chapter 145

Xu Wen swallowed his saliva and thought to himself that even if he really was an ungrateful person, he should have been cooked by now after being fed for so long, right?

The requirements are not high, just don't repay kindness with enmity.

Even if I can't feed her well, I'm Lu Yuanzheng's wife, they shouldn't do anything rash, right?

It's not that they are so important, but if they are affected, it means that their country was the first to provoke the war.

They would have a reason to send troops to capture Kaya, or even their country.

If I think about it this way, I suddenly feel that if something happens to me, it seems to be more cost-effective?

Xu Wen consoled himself by thinking that it would not matter whether he went in or died.

No matter how you think about it, it takes courage to go into a wolf's den alone.

Xu Wen's palms were sweaty. He prepared himself mentally for a while before pretending to be surprised and saying, "Okay!"

The small door on the wall of the Kaya opened, and Xu Wen approached on the houseboat.

As I approached, I regretted.

Frankly speaking, that door was like the gate of hell to Xu Wen.

She hadn't lived enough to die a heroic death.

She is scared.

I’m afraid if I go in, I’ll never be able to get out.

The clothes on Xu Wen's back also became wet, and his whole body was covered in cold sweat.

She walked forward with shaking hands, cursing herself. Wouldn't it be good to be a housewife at home? Why did she have to show off? She could have discussed it with Lu Yuanzheng before doing it, why did she have to be a lone hero?!

But things have come to this.

Or she could turn around and leave, wasting her recent kindness to the Kaya, and from then on she would be carrying an indelible stigma.

Either take a gamble, win, return safely, draw the blueprints and hand them over to our country's shipbuilding experts.

If you lose the bet, you will have to leave Lu Yuanzheng forever. You may even be tortured and humiliated before you die.

The ship's door is getting closer and closer.

By the time the sentry who had been monitoring the Kaya discovered something was wrong, it was too late to stop it.

The two were dumbfounded!

No one thought that Xu Wen would dare to approach the Kaya.

What he didn't expect was that Kaya opened the door for Xu Wen.

"What the hell! How did my sister-in-law get on board? What should we do now?" One sentry asked another, "Does Luying know?"

"What the hell do you know? How could the Luying allow Sister-in-law Xu Wen to go on the Kaya alone?" the older one replied.

"What do we do now?"

The older one gritted his teeth and said, "I'll keep an eye on this place, you go and notify the road camp."

While the two were talking, Xu Wen had already reached the cabin door.

Custer came personally to pick him up, stretched out his hand and pulled Xu Wen onto the boat.

The door closed slowly.

The older sentry slapped the ground beneath him, looking annoyed.

Careless!

When the sentry came to report, Lu Yuanzheng and his team were in a meeting.

For the first time in his life, Lu Yuanzheng's mind went blank because of a single sentence.

At that moment, he didn't know what he should or could do.

The only thought in his mind was that if something really happened to her, he would not live alone.

But suicide for love is the last thing.

The first step is to determine whether Xu Wen is alive or dead.

Lu Yuanzheng is not an impulsive person, and cannot be impulsive.

This concerns two countries, he cannot just rush into it thoughtlessly.

Shi Lei, who was sitting next to him, patted him on the shoulders twice as a way of comforting him.

Song Xueqin was furious after hearing about such an important matter and thought Xu Wen was extremely bold.

But this is not the time to blame Xu Wen. The most important thing is to rescue Xu Wen.

How to save them? Who will save them? These are all problems.

The people at the table couldn't come up with a perfect solution in a short time.

Lu Yuanzheng suddenly stood up. He took off his coat and threw it on the table: "Report! The military cannot be used. I will go by myself! My wife is on their ship, and I have the right and obligation to go find her."

Sometimes it is easier to solve a problem by simplifying it.

The military was restricted in every way, but as Xu Wen's husband, he didn't have to worry about anything.

Without his military uniform, he was just a man concerned about his wife's comfort.

Song Xueqin thought about it and let Lu Yuanzheng be fully armed and take a few people with him.

"If... I mean if, a conflict really happens, then you know what the result will be, right?" Song Xueqin asked Lu Yuanzheng.

Lu Yuanzheng nodded: "I acted on my own will, abused my power for personal gain, and led people to break into the Kaya without authorization. It has nothing to do with the country or our army. It is purely a personal action. I am willing to accept any sanctions."

Song Xueqin sighed, closed his eyes, and waved at him, "Bring at most five people! Bring our best weapons. Try to resolve this peacefully."

Lu Yuanzheng saluted Song Xueqin, turned around and left.

Having said that, he knew that if something really went wrong, he would not be the only one to be punished.

As his direct leader, Song Xueqin would also be implicated.

Custer reached out to search him, but Xu Wen dodged him.

Custer raised his eyebrows, and the soldier beside him pointed his gun at Xu without saying a word.

Xu Wen raised his hands above his head, "Sorry. I didn't mean anything else. It's just that in our country, there is a saying that 'men and women should not touch each other'. May I ask if you have any female soldiers?"

After hearing what it meant that men and women should not have physical contact, Custer shook his head.

Life here is so hard, it's not suitable for female soldiers.

The main reason is that the atmosphere on the ship is too depressing. It would be troublesome if a male or female soldier accidentally fired his gun and caused a death.

Xu Wen was a little disappointed, but he forced himself to calm down. "Look, although you are fully armed, I am only wearing thin clothes. You should be able to tell at a glance if I have anything hidden on me."

Xu Wen slowly turned around to let them see clearly that there was no place on his body to hide weapons. "Besides, you are all well-trained fighters. I am just a weak woman. Even if I have a gun or a knife in my hand, can I still beat you?"

Xu Wen said this while spreading out his palms.

Under the bright light, the skin on Xu Wen's palm was white, tender and delicate, without even a trace of wrinkles, and he really didn't look like someone who knew martial arts.

When we were building the school, we made some cobs, but they were all gone recently.

Caster's eyes were like the sharpest scanner, scanning Xu Wen's body carefully, his gaze focused on her palms and fingertips, then he nodded and led her inside.

Xu Wen discovered that apart from the few soldiers walking around her with guns, there was no other soldier.

After thinking about it, Xu Wen understood why.

An ordinary woman could never understand the structure of this giant battleship at a glance, but she could count the number of officers and soldiers on the ship.

Therefore, those officers and soldiers must have received orders not to leave the dormitory.

After thinking this through, Xu Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

She wasn't actually very brave, so she had to face hundreds of men alone.

Only those who are not afraid are called aliens, right?!

Custer didn't talk much, but the adjutant beside him talked a lot. He seemed to really treat Xu Wen as a tourist and took her around to look at things.

Except for many places marked as "Do Not Enter" military areas.

And these are the important places that Xu Wen wanted to enter.

Xu Wen pretended that he couldn't understand the words on the door and pointed to one of the doors and asked, "Can I take a look?"

"You don't recognize the words on it?"

"I'm sorry, I can only speak but not write, and I don't know much. My foreign language is not taught in school."

It is normal for illiterate people to be able to speak but not read or write.

The adjutant nodded, thinking that this was human nature.

Custer also expressed his understanding, but refused firmly: "Sorry, this is a military stronghold."

Xu Wen was a little disappointed, but did not show it.

Fortunately, except for a few special places, they did not guard against Xu Wen.

Even the driver's room was shown to Xu Wen.

Xu Wen also saw the submarine carried on board the ship.

Xu Wen pretended to be naive and stood in front of the submarine for a long time, asking questions.

Custer's adjutant explained to her with pride how powerful the submarine was.

Xu Wen took it seriously to heart.

Xu Wen looks particularly harmless, which can easily lower people's guard.

But not Custer.

He is the highest-ranking officer on such a battleship, so he must be someone who is not easily fooled.

Custer had a sullen look on his face and looked at Xu Wen with special vigilance.

The boat was very big, and Xu Wen looked at it very carefully. It took him more than an hour to walk around it.

Custer's adjutant saw Xu Wen's face full of admiration and her eyes constantly looking at the ship, so he asked her: "You seem very interested in this ship?"

It seemed that they were all polite remarks. Xu Wen was a little overinterested.

This made him a little uneasy.

Xu Wen nodded and shook his head, "I'm a businessman. You can see that I usually have a ship to go in and out. But recently I need to transport more and more goods, and my ship can't hold them all!

If only I had a ship this big! It could carry lots and lots of cargo!"

Custer: “…”

Custer's adjutant: "..."

Both of them had expressions that were a bit indescribable.

How much does this ship cost?!

For shipping?

Is this a cargo ship?

For a moment, both of them felt that being so cautious against Xu Wen was a bit unnecessary.

Women are women!

The adjutant became even more enthusiastic, and his words hinted that they would treat Xu Wen better than the people from Rainbow Island.

They used the excuse that if Xu Wen couldn't stay on Rainbow Island, he could come to them and they would arrange for Xu Wen to go to Country F.

It sounds good, but you might as well ask and see the essence of it.

They wanted to tempt her to rebel!

Xu Wen did not refuse directly. After all, one has to bow his head under the eaves.

She simply expressed her gratitude to Custer and his adjutant, saying that they believed in her so much and that she was particularly touched.

It’s not like on Rainbow Island, where the sisters-in-law, who used to get along very well with her, isolated her because of such a small thing.

Xu Wen complained incessantly about the intrigues among women.

Custer and his adjutant frowned when they heard this. No man would like to listen to such trivial matters.

In their eyes, this was simply stupid and a waste of time.

Custer and his adjutant were not stupid enough to try to persuade Xu Wen to defect the first time they met. They just felt that they were trying to show goodwill in a subtle way.

At this time, there was a huge commotion on the deck, and Custer asked someone to check it out.

Xu Wen took the opportunity to express that she wanted to go to the toilet, and the adjutant pointed her in the direction of the toilet.

It was just around the corner near where they were standing.

I don’t know if it was because Xu Wen acted too stupid that their guard was lowered or if they are just true gentlemen.

No one was looking at Xu Wen.

Xu Wen thinks it’s men’s nature that’s at work, as they tend to look down on women.

Xu Wen did not go into the toilet. She remembered that there was a door at the end of the toilet that prevented her from entering.

Xu Wen was extremely nervous and walked hurriedly, knowing that if he was caught he would just say he had taken the wrong path.

Otherwise, just be honest and say it was curiosity that got the better of you.

However, everything went so smoothly that she felt like she was in a dream. When she walked back, there was no one in the cabin.

Xu asked: "..."

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, calmed her rapid breathing, reached behind her back and gently pulled at the clothes that were stuck to her back due to sweat.

She tried to shout twice in a low voice, but no one responded.

Xu Wen gritted his teeth and searched for the doors he had just passed according to his memory.

As I walked, I realized that I was really lost this time.

She opened one of the doors that were not allowed to enter twice.

Xu Wen became more and more anxious and more and more afraid.

After groping for a while, she finally saw the adjutant with a bad face leading people to look for her everywhere.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm lost."

The adjutant looked at Xu Wen suspiciously and saw that Xu Wen had tear marks on his face and looked panic-stricken, as if he was frightened.

This time Xu Wen was expressing his true feelings, he didn't even need to act, so the adjutant naturally couldn't see the flaw.

Although Xu Wen's clothes were not very close-fitting, one could still tell at a glance whether he was carrying anything.

Seeing that she had nothing in her hands and looked frightened, the adjutant let down his guard and said to her, "Your husband is here to ask for someone!"

Xu Wen said, "I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble. I didn't tell him when I left."

She was still trembling when she spoke, she was really scared at this moment.

Speaking of Lu Yuanzheng, the adjutant's face didn't look good. He glanced at Xu Wen, moved his mouth but didn't say anything.

Xu Wen immediately realized that Lu Yuanzheng was putting a lot of pressure on them outside.

I guess the noise on the deck just now was caused by Lu Yuanzheng and his men.

The adjutant had someone open the door of the warehouse where Xu Wen was brought. "Sorry! We can't keep you as a guest this time! But you're welcome to come again next time!"

"Thank you for your hospitality, I am very happy. Also, I am sorry for the trouble my husband caused you. Your boat is very big and beautiful. I hope I can have a big boat like this in the future!"

The adjutant remembered that she said they were short of a large cargo ship, and his mouth twitched, but he said nothing.

Xu Wen returned to the houseboat and saw clearly the confrontation between the two sides.

Fully armed, Lu Yuanzheng led his men down the cliff by a rope and rappelled directly onto the deck. His reason was very good: to find his wife.

Although he was fully armed, he was not wearing a military uniform, and there were only three or four people following him.

Xu Wen did not hide his intentions when he entered the Kaya. Even the sentry saw it and could not tolerate Custer's cheating.

Lu Yuanzheng also stated that at this moment he was only talking to Custer as a husband whose wife was missing, and it had nothing to do with the two countries' armies.

The two sides pointed their guns at each other and continued to negotiate until Xu Wen showed up.

Custer pointed at Xu Wen and said, "Look, I didn't lie. Your wife is just visiting us, and she came here of her own accord."

Lu Yuanzheng glanced at Xu Wen and breathed a sigh of relief, "Really? Then why couldn't you let her out just now?"

Custer thought to himself, you and I are both standing here, how should I know why the adjutant hasn't come out for so long?

Xu Wen couldn't hear their conversation, so he waved to Lu Yuanzheng and shouted, "Lu Yuanzheng, I'm fine. Shall we go home?"

She thanked Custer in English again, saying thank you for his hospitality.

Lu Yuanzheng understood what Xu Wen meant and made a gesture.

The soldier behind him pulled out the dog's claw that was entangled in the Kaya and threw it onto the houseboat. Several people slid towards the wooden house one after another.

Lu Yuanzheng was the last one to arrive. Before getting off the boat, he said perfunctorily, "It seems to be just a misunderstanding! I was rude, sorry!"

There was no trace of apology on his face.

After saying this, he grabbed the rope with both hands, leaped forward, and slid quickly onto the houseboat.

The houseboat in front of the Kaya was like a full-mooned baby lying in front of a two-meter-tall giant.

As soon as Lu Yuanzheng got on the boat, he pulled Xu Wen into the bamboo house, hugged her tightly, and said only one sentence: "It's good that you're back!"

The bullet clip hanging on his chest was actually quite painful, but Xu Wen could still hear his disordered heartbeat. He ignored the pain and hugged him with his backhand, "You scared me to death!"

She was afraid of being a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, but the long journey was filled with the fear of losing her.

"I'm sorry!" Xu Wen said with a trembling voice.

This time, Lu Yuanzheng didn't say it was okay, and he said in a hoarse voice: "There won't be a next time."

"Um."

If it happened again, she wouldn't dare go up no matter what.

She overestimated her courage.

"It's a long journey."

"exist."

"I might be dizzy."

Xu Wen closed his eyes after he finished speaking.

"Xu Wen?!" Lu Yuanzheng hugged Xu Wen in panic, looking anxious, but he didn't dare to touch her carelessly.

He gritted his teeth and looked in the direction of the Kaya. If anything happened to Xu Wen, he would definitely bomb the Kaya!

As soon as the boat reached the shore, Lu Yuanzheng rushed to the shore holding Xu Wen.
