After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 280, Episode 0295: She is her only one.
Seeing that the car had already disappeared from sight but the leader was still standing, Xiao Luo whispered a reminder: "Sir?"

"I think I saw Hongying in that car just now."

Xiao Luo: "Madam must be seeing Academician Lin off."

Leng Zhi thought about it and realized it made sense. His wife loved their daughter the most, and she would definitely be more reluctant to let their daughter go back to Beijing than he was, and she would definitely see her off all the way to the train station.

Turn around and prepare to leave.

and many more,

wrong.

If his wife was just taking their daughter to the train station, why didn't she even greet him when she was in the car?

Instead, it was as if she was avoiding him.

As for the idea that his wife was throwing a tantrum because he hadn't been home for a few days, Leng Zhi didn't even consider that possibility, because it was impossible.

They've been married for decades, and his wife has been a military spouse for just as long. It's perfectly normal for soldiers to be away from home for days or even a year or two while on duty, and his wife is already used to and understands it.

Therefore, there is only one possibility: his wife is avoiding him because she feels guilty.

What's there to feel guilty about taking your daughter to the train station?
Never mind, I'll talk about it tonight.

"Form ranks and prepare to depart."

"Yes."

With the veteran general Leng Zhi personally taking charge, Lin Yuexi's small convoy of four cars slowly drove out of the military region gate.

Not far from the entrance, Xiao Ye was waiting with Ren Yan.

Ren Yan ultimately decided to leave with Lin Yuexi.

As the convoy passed them, the last car stopped to pick them up before quickly catching up.

Lin Yuexi sat in the second car, driven by Xu Shan, with Zhang Hongying in the passenger seat and Huo Han in the back.

After turning the corner and losing sight of the military district entrance, Zhang Hongying let out a long sigh, turned around, and leaned against the back of her seat, looking terrified as she said to Lin Yuexi:
"You scared me to death! I thought your dad was too busy to come and take us."

Lin Yuexi stared intently at her mother for a few seconds, then revealed the truth, "Mom, you ran away without permission, didn't you?"

"What do you mean by 'running away'? I left a letter for your dad." The voice was loud, but lacked confidence.

Lin Yuexi: "..."

Huo Han couldn't help but glance at him.

"Your dad's been busy lately, hasn't he?" She couldn't find him, so leaving a message to let him know was already a courtesy, okay?
Lin Yuexi fell silent.

However, she knew her mother's temperament; sometimes, when she got willful, no one could stop her. Now that she was determined to return to Beijing, even if her father chased after her now, it wouldn't make a difference.

So the obedient daughter gave a thumbs up and agreed, "That makes sense."

Seemingly having received support, Zhang Hongying, who was still a little guilty, immediately straightened her back. Look, she hadn't done anything wrong.

Everyone knew the journey wouldn't be peaceful, so they stopped chatting and focused on either being on guard or taking a break.

The journey to the train station was very quiet, at least outwardly. There were no attacks, and we hardly encountered any people or vehicles on the road.

Upon arriving at the train station, Lin Yuexi used a special passage, which led directly to the sleeper carriage at the very front of the train, where soldiers were already guarding it.

This is a sleeper car with only four beds, but the car is not much smaller than other cars. The beds are not specially designed and are the same size and specifications. They are just bunk beds, which makes the car feel more spacious.

What's special is that a small room was partitioned off inside the carriage using a special material.

After Lin Yuexi came up, she made a point of checking what material the small house was made of. Wow, wasn't that the bulletproof steel plate she had provided the information about?!

Look how amazing the talent in China is! She only provided the data for a little over twenty days, and the finished product is already out. The only thing Chinese scientists lack is a place to learn that knowledge.

At that moment, Lin Yuexi had a premonition.

Zhang Hongxiang, who was standing next to her, had no idea how much turmoil her daughter's silence would cause in the future. She only assumed that her daughter was curious about this strange house, just like herself.

"What is this for? Why was a room specially partitioned off like this?" The carriages weren't big to begin with, and with this partition, they've become even smaller.

With Huo Han absent, Bai Hao is now in charge of protecting them.

He got excited when he mentioned the house, grinning and showing off his big white teeth as he explained to Zhang Hongying, "Don't underestimate this house, it's made of bulletproof material. If there's any danger on the road, just hide in this house and close the door, hehe."

Upon hearing that it could protect against bullets, Zhang Hongying immediately stopped finding the room an eyesore and touched it with great interest, her eyes shining.

He didn't dare to make any big movements, as if he was afraid of damaging it. He just gently stroked it a few times, and then pulled his daughter next to him inside.

Unlike the carriages outside, the cabin didn't have large windows; there was only one ventilation window in the roof that could be opened and closed.

There was a folding cot against the right wall, and a small locked cabinet embedded in the lower right corner of the left wall. That was all.

This is a simple safe house.

Although there was nothing inside, Zhang Hongying was increasingly satisfied with the look. Not to mention the high-tech feel of the all-white house, which was eye-catching, the word "bulletproof" alone was enough to reassure her. What more could she ask for?

Seeing that her mother was almost unable to walk, Lin Yuexi smiled and didn't disturb her. She then turned and left the safe house.

Ren Yan had already made up the bed for Lin Yuexi again and was sitting on the pillowcase. When she saw Lin Yuexi come out, she immediately grinned and showed her big white teeth.

"Xi Bao, you sleep in this bed, I'll be right there."

The smile on her face seemed unchanged, as if what Xu Shan said had never happened, no, as if nothing had happened after she went to the Red Star Brigade.

But whether it was just her imagination or not, Lin Yuexi couldn't see any real happiness on her face; instead, she only sensed sadness.

Lin Yuexi walked over and sat down.

Ren Yan was about to get up when Lin Yuexi grabbed her wrist.

She turned her head in confusion and saw Lin Yuexi looking at her with a serious expression she had never seen on her face before.

"Ren Yan, let's talk."

Ren Yan stiffened visibly. "Talk, talk about what?"

His eyes darted away, as if he wanted to flee.

But Lin Yuexi wouldn't let her escape. With a forceful pull, she dragged her back to sit down.

Instead of trying to have a heart-to-heart talk with her or beating around the bush, he went straight to the heart.

“I already know about what happened between you and Xu Zhichuan. I will not comment on it. I will not do anything until you ask me for help, but I do not want you to get stuck in this matter.”

"You must remember that you are yourself first, and then you are how others describe you."

You carried me to the countryside. Whatever the reason you did it, from the moment you carried me and protected me, you became different.

Ren Yan stared blankly at Lin Yuexi's face as if she had lost her soul. It seemed like only a few moments had passed, yet it also seemed like a long time had gone by. She didn't blink, and hot tears slid down her face.

Lin Yuexi did not speak again, but simply looked back at her with the same calm expression.

Their eyes reflected each other's image.

At this moment, they seemed to be each other's only one, and each other was the only one in their world.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy and oppressive. The two soldiers guarding the front and back of the carriage unconsciously slowed their breathing. Zhang Hongxiang, who had originally planned to step out, silently withdrew his leg, which was already halfway out.
