Qin Yuanzheng had just finished defusing a mine when another one was quickly detected.

Qin Yuanzheng then went back there to continue the demolition.

After all that, a long time had passed. Qiao Lanshu stood there watching from afar, and before she knew it, it was already dark.

But none of the onlookers left, including Wang Xue, who didn't leave either.

She stood close to Qiao Lanshu, anxiously saying, "My God, how many have been buried? Is Liu Zhengxing trying to turn the world upside down?"

Qiao Lanshu did not speak.

She was not in a good state at the moment.

Perhaps it was because she was reminded of Qin Yuanzheng's injury in her previous life that she felt very uncomfortable.

This discomfort also manifested physically, as if even the fetus in the womb was affected, becoming restless and unruly.

Qiao Lanshu's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his hat was soaked with it. The cold wind at dusk made him feel chilly all over.

Seeing that Qiao's face was pale and she was very tense, Wang Xue said in a low voice, "Xiao Qiao, are you not feeling well? Why don't we go back first?"

Qiao Lanshu shook her head and said softly, "Sister, I'm worried about him. I... I'll keep an eye on him a bit more."

How could she feel at ease if she didn't keep an eye on Qin Yuanzheng from here?

She doesn't want to leave at all right now; if she can't see Qin Yuanzheng, she'll be even more heartbroken.

Wang Xue sighed and then said to her, "Let's sit over there for a while."

It was a bit cold on the steps by the street, but it was better than standing.

Wang Xue found two pieces of paper, placed them on the ground, and then sat next to Qiao Lanshu for a while to continue watching Qin Yuanzheng clear the mines.

There were many onlookers around. Since everyone was on holiday for the New Year, they had nothing better to do, so they gathered in groups of three or five, standing outside the protective line, looking in the direction of Qin Yuanzheng and his group, and discussing among themselves.

"What exactly is going on over there? Why are not only the police here, but also the soldiers?"

"Oh, haven't you heard? Someone said there were explosives buried under the wall of the state-run restaurant, and the People's Liberation Army comrades are clearing the mines."

"My goodness! There really is explosives?"

"Luckily it didn't explode, otherwise, who knows how many people would have died. This area is usually the liveliest."

……

As the news spread, more and more people gathered to watch.

Qin Yuanzheng defused two mines and dug out two boxes.

There was no gold in the box; it only contained a box of stones.

After the company commander in charge of mine detection had searched the surrounding area, he circled back and continued the search.

He surveyed the area three times. Finally, he put away the mine detector and said to Qin Yuanzheng, "Commander, the survey is complete. No further targets were found."

In other words, Liu Zhengxing buried a total of two boxes and two landmines.

Qin Yuanzheng had already removed the landmines, and there were two iron lumps in front of him.

He nodded and called over Li Jianlin, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. He said to Li Jianlin, "The initial investigation is complete. All the landmines have been removed, but this area still needs to be guarded. We will arrange for another investigation team to come and thoroughly investigate the nearby residential areas and surrounding alleys after we return to the military base."

Li Jianlin nodded and quickly said, "I understand, I will assist the investigation team."

Si Zhemao also brought Qian Weiming over. Looking at the two metal lumps on the ground, he asked Qin Yuanzheng, "What are their serial numbers? Where did they come from?"

Qin Yuanzheng frowned and said, "It has no serial number and its origin is unknown. We need to take it back for a thorough investigation."

It's very likely that it was made privately. For some people, this kind of thing isn't difficult to make, as long as they have the materials.

However, there aren't many people who know how to make this kind of thing, so their identity must be quite extraordinary.

Si Zhemao's face was grim. He said coldly, "Liu Zhengxing, is that right? Where is he? I want to interrogate him myself!"

Li Jianlin quickly said, "Investigator, Liu Zhengxing is currently detained at the police station. It's already dark today, why don't you go again tomorrow?"

Si Zhemao shook his head: "No, I have to interrogate him right now! He definitely has more subordinates!"

With that, Si Zhemao turned and walked away. After taking two steps, he turned back to Qin Yuanzheng and said, "Commander Qin, come with us to the Public Security Bureau."

Qin Yuanzheng refused without hesitation: "I'm sorry, investigator, my work hours are over; I have to go home now, my family is waiting for me."

Si Zhemao: "..."

Si Zhemao's face instantly darkened. "This involves spies, and your army must also assist in the investigation. Now that something like this has happened, how can you go home?"

Those were two landmines buried in the middle of the city!

The matter was extremely serious, yet Qin Yuanzheng still had the mind to go home.

Si Zhemao was so angry he wanted to curse again.

Qin Yuanzheng paused for two seconds before saying, "Investigator, with you in charge, this matter will definitely be completed smoothly. I believe in you!"

Si Zhemao: "...Stop flattering me."

Qin Yuanzheng told the company commander following behind him to pack up his things, including the two dismantled landmines, and said to him, "Take these things back to the unit. You can go back now. We'll send another team to check after dinner."

The company commander quickly nodded: "Understood!"

With that, he immediately grabbed the detector, put the two landmines in a sack, and hurriedly returned to his unit.

When Si Zhemao saw that Qin Yuanzheng was not really going to the police station with him, he strode towards his wife.

Si Zhemao said speechlessly, "This guy has changed ever since he got married. Honestly, it's just that he got a wife, is it really that big of a deal?"

Si Zhemao, who is still single, doesn't know how good his wife is.

He frowned in bewilderment, staring at Qin Yuanzheng's retreating figure for a while.

Then, he hurriedly took Li Jianlin, Qian Weiming, and others to the Public Security Bureau.

When Wang Xue saw Qin Yuanzheng approaching, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said to Qiao Lanshu, "It seems the matter has been resolved. Qiao, I'll be going now. You and Commander Qin can go back together."

Qiao Lanshu nodded: "Okay, sister, be careful on the road."

Qiao Lanshu finally felt relieved at this moment.

God knows how nervous she's been these past few hours, from this afternoon until now!

Qin Yuanzheng knew that Qiao Lanshu had stayed here and had not gone back.

He was worried about Qiao Lanshu, which is why he refused Si Zhemao.

The interrogation of Liu Zhengxing was handled by Si Zhemao, Li Jianlin, and others. He was in the military, so even if they didn't go, they couldn't say anything about him.

After all, he had just finished the most difficult part.

He walked up to Qiao Lanshu, squatted down, and looked at her: "Why aren't you getting up? Are your legs numb?"

As he spoke, he reached out and ruffled Qiao Lanshu's hair.

Qiao Lanshu looked unwell. She reached out her hand, and Qin Yuanzheng glanced at it, wiped his hands on his clothes first, and then took Qiao Lanshu's hand.

Qiao Lanshu, wearing cotton gloves, gently squeezed her hand through the gloves and whispered, "Are you cold? I told you to go back earlier, but you wouldn't listen. It's windy here, what if you get sick?"

As he spoke, he took off his coat and covered Qiao Lanshu with it, then picked her up.

Qiao Lanshu, wrapped in a coat, nestled in Qin Yuanzheng's arms;

Only now, smelling Qin Yuanzheng's familiar scent, did Qiao Lanshu feel at ease.

Her discomfort lessened somewhat, and she leaned against Qin Yuanzheng's chest, whispering, "Brother Zheng, I was really worried about you before, you..."

She wanted to say, "Could you please stop taking on such dangerous missions in the future?"

But then I thought, he's a soldier.

The very identity of a soldier represents danger.

Many people admire the prestige of soldiers and the good treatment they enjoy.

But who could imagine how dangerous and arduous their mission was?

Qiao Lanshu paused, then silently leaned against Qin Yuanzheng's chest and remained silent.

Qin Yuanzheng knew that he had really scared his wife this time.

Look how frightened the young wife is; she's fallen silent and won't say a word.

He sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, nothing will happen. Back on the battlefield, we didn't even have mine detectors, we just used a wooden stick to clear mines, and I was fine even in those conditions, so you can rest assured now."

Conditions are much better now than before.

They used to be so poor that they didn't even have a decent tool.

No matter what they do, they always have to be tough and resilient. Now the military has everything they need, and they no longer have to go to the battlefield. It's actually much better than before.

Qiao Lanshu leaned silently against his chest, without saying another word.

Seeing that she was silent, Qin Yuanzheng felt even more sorry for her.

He felt somewhat guilty for making his wife feel insecure.

But he had no choice; it was his responsibility. If he encountered a situation like this again, he would still be the first to step in.

He carried Qiao Lanshu into the car, their affectionate manner making Si Zhemao, who was about to leave, grit his teeth.

Si Zhemao and Qian Weiming were in the same car. As the car slowly drove away, he saw Qin Yuanzheng holding his young wife through the window. He shook his head and sighed, "This Qin Yuanzheng has completely fallen into the trap of love. He's hopeless."

Qian Weiming; "..."

Qian Weiming also has a wife and children, so he can completely understand Qin Yuanzheng.

However, married men should avoid discussing marriage with unmarried men.

Just like how people with children shouldn't talk about parenting with people who don't have children.

These are people from completely different worlds; it's like a chicken talking to a duck—they can't understand each other.

Qian Weiming could only laugh awkwardly and say, "After all, it wasn't easy for Commander Qin to marry a young wife when he was almost thirty. I can understand, I can understand."

Si Zhemao scoffed, "I'm thirty-five, and I'm still not married. I'm not like him, who can't resist a woman he sees."

He then added, "What a loser!"

Qian Weiming: "..."

Qian Weiming fell silent.

Because if we continue discussing this topic, we'll be touching on sensitive issues.

After all, the reason why Si Zhemao is still unmarried at this age is related to the fact that his parents were wrongly accused before.

He himself was also arrested and sent to a labor camp. Later, he was exonerated and returned to his original position. He was determined to climb the ranks and eventually reached his current position.

His time has been wasted, and now it's become a major problem.

The leaders also wanted to introduce him to a wife, but unfortunately, he had a fierce temper and looked intimidating, making it quite difficult to find him a wife.

Si Zhemao stared outside for a while until the car turned the corner and disappeared from sight. Then he looked away and muttered, "Qin Yuanzheng's wife is quite pretty."

As he spoke, he quickly changed the subject and said to Qian Weiming, "When we interrogate Liu Zhengxing later, we shouldn't go easy on him. He's a spy, so we should interrogate him like a spy."

Upon hearing this, Qian Weiming felt a chill run down his spine.

I can't believe what kind of suffering Liu Zhengxing will endure in a moment, but it's his own fault; spies never have a good ending.

Si Zhemao then said, "In the two days I've been here, the guesthouse seems to have received several complaint letters. They're with my secretary; you'll have to assist him with this later."

When Qian Weiming heard that there were several letters of complaint, he became nervous. He didn't know who had filed the complaint or what the complaint contained.

He himself doesn't seem to have done anything wrong, does he?

I once received a roast duck as a gift from someone. Would that be considered a bribe?

Will someone report me?

Thinking of this, Qian Weiming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded: "Okay, investigator, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter well."

When Si Zhemao came to Longcheng this time, he brought a secretary and an assistant/bodyguard with him.

His secretary assisted him in his work, and her position was not low.

Qian Weiming sat in the car with a serious expression, talking to his secretary, who was sitting in the passenger seat, about the work that would be done later.

……

While they were all busy...

Qin Yuanzheng has already taken his wife home.

Qin Yuanzheng thought he should comfort his young wife, Qiao Lanshu, who was frightened today.

As soon as he got home, he closed the door, washed his hands, and then hugged Qiao Lanshu.

He pressed Qiao Lanshu down onto the sofa, and kissed her while taking off her clothes.

Qiao Lanshu obediently went along with him;

Qin Yuanzheng thought his wife was a bit petite, but she had gained some weight recently, so she was soft and cuddly when he held her.

Especially since her breasts became fuller due to her pregnancy, Qin Yuanzheng liked them very much.

Can't put it down.

Her once slender waist is now quite rounded due to her pregnancy, and it feels different to the touch.

Qin Yuanzheng and Qiao Lanshu kissed for a while before Qin Yuanzheng whispered, "Wife, it's throbbing again here."

It's like dough that's fermented; it suddenly expands.

He felt that this dough was easier to knead.

Qin Yuanzheng's hands were busy... while he whispered to Qiao Lanshu, "Why aren't you saying anything? Haven't you come to your senses yet?"

The young wife didn't say much along the way.

But she wasn't sad, and no one knew what she was thinking; she didn't say anything.

Qin Yuanzheng noticed that Qiao Lanshu was almost completely obedient to him at times like this.

When he held her, she even took the initiative to pull off his clothes.

He almost couldn't handle it.

The main problem is that this radish is no longer suitable.

So useless.

Qiao Lanshu said in a low voice, "Brother Zheng, why did you stop?"

Qin Yuanzheng lay down beside her and said in a hoarse voice, "Continue what?"

He was very satisfied that the fermented dough was almost ready.

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qiao Lanshu blushed and glared at him angrily.

He knew perfectly well what she was saying, but he deliberately teased her.

It had been a long time since she had seen Qin Yuanzheng, and she actually missed him.

Moreover, at this moment, she actually felt a strong urge to have something intimate with him, just to put her mind at ease.
