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

Chapter 188 Deputy Battalion Commander

Shi Xia bowed deeply in gratitude.

She knew that Hai Sandao was kind to her because of their shared interests, but at a time like this, she should thank him for standing up for her.

"Shi Xia, you are the pride of our three islands!"

"Shi Xia is the best!"

"Shi Xia, we're family, so let's not talk like that."

Shi Xia straightened up, nodded, and jumped off the reef.

Everyone dispersed and went home.

Shi Xia followed Grandpa Shi and her aunts towards the Shi family home.

Grandpa Xu and Old Man Shan were relieved. They both thought that if Shi Xia didn't come back and something really happened to the Wen family, they would try to find someone they had helped in the past.

Thankfully, Shi Xia returned, and everything settled down.

Although they were newcomers to Hai San Island, once they settled there, they really didn't want to leave.

At the Shi family home, Shi Xia looked at her grandfather, who was more silent than usual, and the quiet animals in the house, and shook her head with a smile.

"Grandpa, smile! Aren't you happy to see your eldest granddaughter?"

Grandpa Shi brushed away Shi Xia's hand that was waving in front of him.

"Grandpa can't help you."

With just one sentence, Shi Xia felt sorry for him and immediately gave him a hug.

“You are my grandfather. Without you, I would be a truly lonely person, an unwanted child. With you, we have a home.”

Grandpa Shi, holding back his tears, pushed Shi Xia away shyly and turned around.

"Nonsense! I'm going to make seafood pancakes, want some?"

"Eat up! Add more squid! I love it!"

The two tacitly changed the subject. Grandpa Shi wiped his face with his sleeve and hurried inside.

Shi Xia smiled, bent down, and looked at Da Bai and Xiao Hua, who had become quiet after sensing their anxiety, and at the sea turtle Lao Liu, who no longer looked at everyone with an idiot's gaze.

"Alright, everything's fine now, let's have some fun."

"Little Flower, I saw Big White stealing your food!"

"Big White, Little Flower is making fun of you!"

"Sixth brother, you've gained weight."

In the blink of an eye, Big White and Little Flower started quacking and giggling, instantly bringing life to the yard.

Turtle Six glanced at Shi Xia: You're the real Six!

Shi Xia completely ignored their arguing and disdain. Is this what life is all about? It's stagnant and lifeless; she doesn't like it.

Looking back now, she really was someone who couldn't sit still.

When Lao Ma readily agreed, Shi Xia guessed that he was sent by her superiors to test her.

As for the fact that Wen Chengan, or rather the entire Hai San Island, is a weak point, Shi Xia consciously changed her perspective on the matter.

She felt reassured, both about her own peace of mind and about the peace of mind of the nation.

She never considered betraying her country, believing it would be better for everyone.

That evening, Shi Xia ate a seafood pancake with lots of squid. If it weren't for the flour inside, she could have just eaten a whole squid.

"Grandpa, you don't need to put so much next time."

"Eating won't stop your mouth."

Grandpa Shi disdainfully switched to a pair of unused chopsticks, picked out a lot of squid, and put the flatbread in Shi Xia's bowl.

"Eat."

“Grandpa is so nice.”

Grandpa Shi's lips curled up, and he said proudly, "Of course!"

The grandfather and grandson quickly finished their meal, and tonight the people of Hai San Island could finally get a good night's sleep.

At the same time, Wen Cheng'an was taken to see Chief Wei, and Old Ma was also in the meeting room. Wen Cheng'an's face was covered in stubble, but he stood at attention, his eyes still bright.

"Wen Cheng'an, are you sure you want to protect that Master Xia? As long as you explain yourself clearly, you will not only be at a loss, but you will also be credited for this matter."

When Lao Ma asked, Wen Cheng'an gave the same answer, his voice strong and clear.

“Report, I don’t know Master Xia. I was just taken away naturally during the mission. I didn’t have the ability to refuse at the time.”

Old Ma looked at Chief Wei with a helpless expression.

"Old Wei, it's not that I'm not giving you face, it's just that your people aren't cooperating at all."

Chief Wei stood up and stood opposite Wen Chengan.

"Wen Cheng'an, do you know what you'll face if you don't handle this matter properly?"

"Report, I know!"

"You know? I don't think you do! For the sake of a stranger, you have ignored the country's teachings and forgotten the military's training."

"Let me tell you, not only will you lose these clothes, you'll lose your life too!"

Wen Chengan's eyes remained unchanged, and he did not utter a word.

That was the look on his face that said, "No matter what you say, I won't tell."

Chief Wei remained silent for several minutes before suddenly smiling, patting Wen Cheng'an on the shoulder and saying, "You're a good kid!"

"No need to hold back anymore, we know that Master Xia is Shi Xia."

Chief Wei laid his cards on the table, but Wen Cheng'an remained unmoved, sticking to the same answer.

"Report: I do not know who Master Xia is, nor do I consider her to be my fiancée, Comrade Shi Xia. Comrade Shi Xia is a patriotic and law-abiding comrade."

Chief Wei's facial muscles twitched slightly. You really have the nerve to say that.

Old Ma, who knew all about what Shi Xia had done, couldn't help but laugh. This Wen Cheng'an was quite interesting.

But to be fair, these two are a perfect match.

Shi Xia directly revealed her hand: the well-known brand, Wen Cheng'an.

Wen Cheng'an was willing to bear such a huge crime in order to protect Shi Xia, and even at this point, he still refused to give in.

"Don't pretend, kid. Shi Xia is back today. She came here, and we talked."

Wen Cheng'an remained silent. Who knew if the other party was trying to trick him into revealing information? He wouldn't believe anything unless it was Shi Xia who said it.

Inside the office, Chief Wei had been talking until his saliva was dry, but Wen Cheng'an remained unchanged, making Chief Wei so angry that he wanted to jump up and hit him.

"Fine, fine! You're really something! I give up, okay?"

"Let's not talk about Master Xia's matter anymore. After the organization's investigation, your suspicion has been cleared, and the credit belongs to you."

"This is a notification that will be circulated throughout the entire army. At the same time, after a meeting, it was decided that Comrade Wen Chengan will be promoted to deputy battalion commander."

Chief Wei placed several items in front of Wen Cheng'an, who bowed his head.

Is he alright?

Was what was said earlier true? Or is this also part of a strategy?
"Thank you, chief!"

Wen Cheng'an kept his thoughts to himself, thanked him, and remained silent.

"You—get out of here!"

Wen Chengan was about to leave with his things when Chief Wei remembered something and called out again.

"Stop right there! You're a deputy battalion commander now, you're entitled to housing."

Wen Cheng'an understood Chief Wei's reminder. Chief Wei was really worried about him. He should hurry up and marry her so he could cause trouble.

Wen Chengan turned around and chuckled.

"Shi Xia, the one who makes the decisions, is in my family."

Chief Wei slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Oh dear!"

"Yeah, it's pointless to ask you, let's just go!"

"Yes!"

After Wen Cheng'an left, he looked at the deputy battalion commander's badge and grinned from ear to ear.
