Follow the army to the island, the rebellious male protagonist was led by me to counterattack

Chapter 120 is about to become the boss.

Shi Xia became the second-in-command and also took over the mining business thanks to her keen senses.

The foreman in charge of the miners looked at Shi Xia, who had just been captured to work as a laborer yesterday and had become the second-in-command overnight, in a daze. He couldn't understand it at all.

Shi Xia's first order as the second-in-command was to ensure all the miners had enough to eat.

Her reasons were perfectly valid.

"I only found so many rubies because I had a full stomach. I have no energy left, how can I dig for rubies!"

The newly appointed leader trusts Shi Xia completely because of her "risking her life to protect him" last night.

In his view, only the girls in this village were of one mind with him!

"Listen to the second-in-command, serve the food!"

With both leaders speaking up, what could the miners' foreman do but give them food?

And so, Shi Xia began her life as the "second-in-command" with high spirits.

Five days later, the fishing boats from Hai San Island had not returned, and Uncle Cao was somewhat anxious and worried.

At the same time, Director Ma of the commune also arrived at Haisan Island with an inspection team to investigate the seaweed and laver industry and to pass on a message to the brick and tile factory.

"The brick and tile factory said that Shi Xia ordered bricks and tiles, but didn't pick them up yesterday. I gave them the receipt, and they asked me to find out what happened."

Director Ma glanced at the people behind Uncle Cao and asked in confusion, "Where is Comrade Shi Xia?"

Uncle Cao gave a wry smile.

"She took her fishing team out to sea, to the open ocean."

Director Ma was surprised.

"Comrade Shi Xia is from the fishing team? This comrade is really amazing."

Uncle Cao gave a perfunctory smile, "There's a lot you don't know."

Uncle Cao was worried, but what he needed to do was to safeguard the rear of Hai San Island. However, he couldn't do nothing, so he asked Uncle Wen and Aunt Zhang to go to the army under the pretext of visiting Wen Cheng'an. They should have arrived by now.

"Director Ma, let me show you the seaweed seedlings."

"Great, great, I've been wanting to see this for ages!"

Haiming Island, at the entrance of the military base.

Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen were extremely worried. No matter how capable Shi Xia was, she was still just a child to them.

Wen Chengan happened to have some time, and when he ran out, he saw two worried faces.

"Dad—Mom—what's wrong? Has something happened?"

Uncle Wen nodded and then shook his head, while Aunt Wen anxiously pulled Wen Cheng'an along.

“Cheng’an… Shi Xia has been at sea for five days and hasn’t returned. Could you talk to your superiors and ask them to help look for her while they are on patrol?”

Wen Cheng'an felt a chill run down his spine; something had happened to Shi Xia.

Probably not. Shi Xia's skills in the water are truly unmatched.

Even if she were to encounter a tsunami, she would have the ability to survive.

It wasn't that Wen Cheng'an wasn't worried, but rather that he firmly believed Shi Xia would be alright.

Despite his thoughts, he still asked for details and reported it to Battalion Commander Cheng immediately.

Upon receiving the message, Battalion Commander Cheng frowned and asked, "Has she crossed the line?"

Wen Chengan firmly stated, "Reporting to the battalion commander, Comrade Shi Xia is not that kind of person!"

Battalion Commander Cheng's speechless gaze was filled with contempt.

"Wen Cheng'an, who would believe what you're saying!"

"I believe!"

While he may verbally believe it, Shi Xia's reputation must be protected; otherwise, those honors would have been earned in vain.

Battalion Commander Cheng looked at Wen Cheng'an and laughed in exasperation, saying, "You don't need to get married to be henpecked."

"Thank you for the compliment, Battalion Commander."

Battalion Commander Cheng almost tripped over that shameless remark.

"Alright, I'll talk to the patrol boat." "Thank you, Battalion Commander!"

Wen Cheng'an didn't leave; he looked at Battalion Commander Cheng with a grin.

"Battalion Commander, I'm off today, but I'd like to volunteer for field patrols!"

"You little rascal... approved it!"

Wen Chengan went on patrol, and Li Daniu insisted on going after hearing about it.

Many soldiers who fought alongside Shi Xia last time also volunteered, and all the ships in the unit that could be sailed away were taken away.

Such a commotion alarmed Chief Wei, who came over specifically to inquire. Upon learning that it concerned Shi Xia, he became anxious as well.

"That girl is quite capable, but the sea is merciless, so it's best to go and find her."

At the same time, the people at the research institute temporarily stationed by the troops also learned of the news, and they were also anxious.

Comrade Shi Xia is an external employee of their research institute; we absolutely cannot allow anything to happen to her!
Because Shi Xia was alone, the number of ships on the sea increased.

After a day and a night of fruitless searching, concerns from all sides grew.

Just then, Chief Wei received orders to cooperate with a team.

At that moment, they selected their best soldiers to escort the group of people to a place that was off-limits in the dark.

They had no identification on them, and even if they died abroad, they would remain nameless corpses.

Wen Chengan was among them, but he couldn't go ashore with them; he was only responsible for providing support.

Battalion Commander Cheng participated in the mission because he had been to the other side of the strait before and was familiar with the terrain.

They wanted to rescue a group of fishermen who had been forcibly taken away.

In recent months, there have been numerous cases of fishermen going missing in various locations, which has drawn the attention of higher authorities.

After several investigations, today's action plan was finalized.

With the cooperation of all parties, a group of soldiers with painted faces nimbly landed on the shore, marched rapidly, and arrived at a certain assembly point to meet with the advance troops and determine the next steps.

A secluded spot in a mountain valley.

What does it mean that the leader has changed?

"The original one-eyed man died, the original second-in-command became the boss, and the current second-in-command is..."

The intelligence officer hesitated, but the action leader gave him a look.

"Stop stammering and just say it!"

The intelligence officer scratched his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just a bit strange. The new second-in-command is a Chinese woman."

Upon hearing the words "Chinese woman," Battalion Commander Cheng, who had come along, suddenly thought of Shi Xia.

Can't you?
Is it really not possible?
That was Shi Xia, the kind of girl who could find a boat and bring it back even if she just went out for a stroll.

"What's wrong with women? Traitors don't discriminate between men and women."

"I'm not a traitor!"

The intelligence officer retorted, "She should be one of our people, because she immediately fed the captured Chinese people and implemented a six-hour workday system, where they only work six hours and rest the rest of the time."

If it weren't for his social status, he would have been interested in this job.

"Moreover, I feel that we don't need to launch a full-scale attack. As long as we make contact with this second-in-command, we should be able to take the stronghold without bloodshed."

After the intelligence officer had given most of the information, everyone waited for the captain to make a decision.

"What makes you so sure this Chinese woman will help us?"

The intelligence officer chuckled sheepishly.

“Um… my identity was exposed; she told me that herself.”

"Captain, don't be angry. She didn't expose my identity and even saved my fake daughter, my real partner, Xiaolan..."

The more the intelligence officer spoke, the more Battalion Commander Cheng trembled.

Why does someone who doesn't play by the rules seem more and more like Shi Xia?
Also, this girl has become the second-in-command in just a few days. Did they arrive too early? If they had arrived a few days later, they might have become the head of the gang!

Damn it, what's with this sense of pride he has?

Just as Battalion Commander Cheng was feeling proud, the real intelligence agent, who was actually a translator, suddenly spoke up: "She said her name is Shi Xia. Just ask the garrison on Haiming Island!"
