After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 839 We went to rescue my future sister-in-law's older sister, does she look alike or not?
Li Chengxiao hurriedly returned with the painting of wild roses, just as everyone in the room had taken their seats.

Li Xingchuan took the drawing from his son, glanced at it, and then handed it to Lin Shuangshuang, who was sitting opposite him. "Take it."

Lin Shuangshuang quickly took it with both hands and stared intently at the canvas.

The wild roses on the mountainside bloomed into a sea of ​​flowers, growing wildly and eventually becoming thorny wilderness warriors.

Jiang Hanying also peeked out and admired it, exclaiming, "Beautiful!"

Lin Yuanyin also looked amazed, looking at the painting and then at her sister, "Uncle Li is right, this painting really suits you."

Her sister, during the years she was missing, was just like this wild rose that grew wildly, beautiful, yet with fine thorns for self-protection.

Lin Shuangshuang got up and carefully put the painting away before sitting back down at the dining table.

Jiang Hanying finally ate the lunch she had been craving for a while with satisfaction, and commented, "This is better than the one at the hotel we're staying at."

Upon hearing her comment, Zhu Heng casually replied, "Then let's cancel our stay over there and move here."

"They've already cancelled their reservations."

"Huh?" Zhu Heng was taken aback. "Are you planning to return to Beijing today?"

“We are planning to,” Li Chengxiao said, looking at his father. “How is things going with Mom?”

Jiang Hanying had just stuffed her mouth full when she heard the sound and looked over.

Since things have already come full circle, there's no point in trying to avoid them.

Li Xingchuan shook his head. "I was just kicked out of here this morning by your mother and her master. Although they didn't ask, judging from their expressions, I'm afraid I'll have to stay here for a while."

Jiang Hanying swallowed the food in her mouth. "Haven't there been much progress after all these days?"

"I don't know either. Their research is very secretive, and I didn't dare to ask too many questions when I went there. But judging from your mother's expression, I guess the progress isn't very significant."

Li Chengxiao: "Then what's the point of you staying here?"

Li Xingchuan refrained from kicking him, saying, "I... at least by staying here, I can bring your mother some food, clothes, and other necessities. You don't know the conditions in the place they live in. If I hadn't been bringing them things over from time to time, your mother would have lost at least ten pounds in the past two weeks!"

Zhu Heng couldn't help but sigh upon hearing this.

She hadn't seen Mingxin for almost a week. The last time she went to deliver something, she only saw her briefly and didn't get to say much before her good friend was called away to do other things.

I only reply to her calls and texts when I have free time.

When will this ever end?!

Thinking of the illness her best friend was researching, Zhu Heng couldn't help but shift her gaze to Lin Shuangshuang, who was quietly eating with her head down.

I got a little lost in thought while looking at it.

Lin Shuangshuang quickly noticed and looked up.

Zhu Heng met her gaze, snapped back to reality, and shook her head. "It's nothing, let's eat."

After finishing his meal, Li Xingchuan was about to return to his room to rest. He had driven all morning from Changhe Village and had originally planned to rest in his room before having lunch, but things didn't go as planned.

Before I even left the house, my phone rang in my pocket.

Upon hearing the specially set ringtone, she paused in her steps, quickly reminding her son who was still sitting beside her, "It's your mother calling." She then took out her phone and answered.

"What's wrong, wife?"

"arrive?"

"Yes, I'm already at the hotel. I just finished lunch and am about to rest. Have you eaten, honey?"

"Just about to eat."

"Then go and eat quickly."

"Wait, there's something else I need to tell you. You should go back to Beijing."

Li Xingchuan's face immediately fell, and he didn't care that there were several juniors standing next to him. "Why are you suddenly kicking me out? I've been very restrained, only going over once every three to five days. Is that not allowed?"

Jiang Hanying came out of the bathroom wiping her hands and saw Li Xingchuan holding his phone, looking as aggrieved as a 160-pound child. "Dad, what's wrong?"

“It’s not that we’re trying to kick you out, it’s just that we’re going to…” Ye Mingxin stopped mid-explanation. “Dad? Who was calling you just now? Xiaoying?” “Ah, well, she and Shu Heng came to Cuiping too. I was just about to tell you. They came here because, well…” Li Xingchuan didn’t know where to begin explaining, so he simply shoved the phone into his son’s hand. “You tell him!”

Forced into the situation, Li Chengxiao had no choice but to hold the phone to his ear, glance at Jiang Hanying who was leaning closer, and honestly said, "Mom, Hanying and I came here to take care of some things, and we just ran into Dad after we finished."

"You're with Xiaoying? What are you doing? Why didn't you tell me you were coming? Maybe your dad could have helped out, so he wouldn't keep coming over here all the time when he has nothing better to do."

Li Chengxiao: "..."

Can he say he never intended to say it in the first place?

I was planning to quietly handle everything and return to Beijing, but I ended up disturbing not only Aunt Heng and the others, but now my parents have been alerted too.

Ye Mingxin noticed his silence and said, "Give the phone to Xiaoying."

So the phone changed hands again.

"Xiaoying, tell your mom."

"We went to rescue my future sister-in-law's older sister. When we got there, we also wiped out all the guys who kidnapped her and even knocked down a mountain. Then we accidentally alerted Aunt Heng and Uncle Que. When they came to find Aunt Heng, they ran into Dad."

The room fell silent.

Everyone: "..."

This narration is so simple and honest!
Judging from that tone, it's so nonchalant!
Great!

Worship!

Ye Mingxin, who was hearing this for the first time, felt a rare moment of confusion, "Is this what Shu Heng meant by 'handling some things'?"

They wiped out the entire group during the rescue, and even caused a mountain to collapse!

"Uh-huh."

Ye Mingxin: "..."

She has recently learned some trendy new words and phrases that are currently popular.

Is this what they call Versailles?
After a moment's pause, he remembered to ask, "Are you injured?"

"No, everything is fine."

"Okay, give the phone to your dad."

"Oh."

The phone has finally been returned to its original owner.

“I didn’t finish what I was saying. We received a notice right after you left this morning that Changhe Village will be locked down starting tomorrow, and the lifting time is uncertain. You won’t be able to get in even if you come back later. You might as well go back with the two of them.”

"Lockdown? Why the sudden lockdown? Is it because of the disease you're researching? Has it changed?"

"Don't ask, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm hanging up."

Li Xingchuan frowned, clutching the phone that had just been hung up, seemingly lost in thought. Zhu Heng, listening to the snippets of conversation, spoke in a deep voice as if she had made up her mind: "Shu Heng, Han Ying, I need to tell you something about the disease your mother is researching. And Jing Mo Shuangshuang, Yuan Yin, you should listen too."

Que Bingchen's expression shifted, but seeing his wife's resolute face, he swallowed his words back.

“A few months ago, a strange thing happened to the youngest daughter of a family in Changhe Village. She was supposed to be beyond help and waiting to die, but she was suddenly brought back to life. However, although she recovered her health, her body underwent strange changes.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuangshuang suddenly looked up and met Zhu Heng's gaze.

The look in his eyes was exactly the same as the one he gave me at the dinner table.

"She and I..."

"It's similar, yet not quite. You're still you, but that little girl isn't the same person anymore. So I've never been sure if you're in the same situation, but I always felt there might be some connection. And now that I've seen you here, I can't help but think about it even more..."

Jiang Hanying suddenly asked, "Who saved her?"

Zhu Heng was interrupted and paused for a moment, "I heard that the mysterious person was seriously injured at the time. He just happened to collapse in front of that little girl's house. After giving her medicine, he left. Only the little girl's parents saw him. Now, many people are still looking for this person, including the medical team that Mingxin is in."

Jiang Hanying couldn't help but reach out and scratch her cheap master's palm.

Could this be the one Bai Lao Er revealed before his death, the one who slipped through the net?
What is this now? You searched high and low without finding it, and then it came to you effortlessly.
