A lonely, unlucky military officer with a stubborn fate insisted on marrying me.

Commissar Huang gently stroked the rim of the cup with his fingertips, thinking: The Hao family is probably going to suffer a huge loss this time.

Everyone knows that the Hao family's Baihua Peak spans Beijing and Hebei Province. It is the third highest peak in Beijing and covers more than 5,000 acres. Back then, in order to secure the century-long lease rights to the two main peaks, the Hao family specially donated a commercial street in Beijing to the authorities. This was the Hao family's most valuable asset.

Lin Yinyin speaks softly, but she has a lot of courage hidden in her bones.

From opening a mooncake factory to catching enemy spies, he seizes every opportunity that comes his way, all while Li Jinxiao chimes in with his support.

That man is a staff officer in the Ministry of National Defense, and he is very meticulous. The Hao family cannot withstand the combined efforts of these two.

As expected, after hearing Li Jinxiao's words, Lin Yinyin immediately looked up at Hao Weiwei's father, Hao Ping.

Her eyes sparkled with genuine hope. "Uncle Hao, could you tell me how Grandpa Hao managed to lease the mountain for a hundred years? I've wanted my own mountain since I was little, and I want to fulfill my lifelong dream."

Hao Ping tightened his grip on the teacup. He thought to himself: Don't look at me, I don't want to answer.

Seeing that he avoided answering, Lin Yinyin's hope gradually faded, and the corners of her mouth turned down slightly.

Seeing her disappointed yet hesitant expression, He Jingxian turned her head away to suppress her laughter.

This girl is a good actress; she handles both soft and hard acting perfectly. It seems the eldest daughter-in-law doesn't even need to come; she can get what she wants just by playing along!

Hao Ping looked at Lin Yinyin's pouting and aggrieved expression, still conflicted in his heart.

Although the Hao family is not as glorious as it used to be and its talents have dwindled, those two strongholds are still one of its foundations!

Just because of a prescription from his daughter, does he have to send an entire mountain away now?

He was unwilling and reluctant to give up!

But then he remembered his father's words of advice before he left, and Hao Ping's heart sank again.

The Hao family had been in business for generations and were once incredibly wealthy, but wealth rarely lasts beyond three generations, and by their time, they were far from what they used to be. Their father repeatedly instructed them that things were different now; in business, they should only seek stability, as money was just an external thing, and the most important thing was to avoid any connection with enemy agents.

This daughter-in-law of the Li family is arrogant and has wild ideas. The Li family spoils her, which is too much for him!

Seeing that Hao Ping remained silent, Lin Yinyin slowly lowered her head. "I'm sorry, Uncle Hao, I overestimated myself. How dare a mere young girl like me dream of such an important matter as taking over a mountain? Please don't be angry."

Just then, He Jingxian spoke up, "Yinyin is just a child, she was just saying it casually, Hao Ping, don't take it to heart."

Then, changing the subject, her gaze seemingly casually sweeping over Hao Weiwei, she said, "By the way, Yinyin also went to Tian Ya's house. It's all thanks to her keen observation that her brother didn't get away."

By the way, Vivi knows her brother too, right? He has quite distinctive features; he's short and gourd-like, just like her.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Cai and Hao families changed drastically.

Everyone understood that He Jingxian was openly supporting her daughter-in-law, and her words were a clear reminder that Hao Weiwei had ties to enemy agents.

Hao Ping's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked at Political Commissar Huang.

Political Commissar Huang didn't even lift his eyelids.

Although he was related to the Cai family by marriage, it was obvious that the Hao family was in the wrong. Besides, the mountain didn't belong to his family, so he wasn't going to get involved in this mess.

Cai Xiangru and He Jingxian were longtime friends, and Cai Xiangru knew He Jingxian's personality best. Her words were an ultimatum. She immediately pinched Hao Ping.

Hao Ping gritted his teeth, just about to give in, when he saw Lin Yinyin suddenly take out a letter from her pocket and hand it to Li Jinxiao.

"Brother, I found this by chance at Tian Ya's house that day. I was in a hurry and just put it in my pocket. Could you take a look at what's written inside?"

Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats, and the Cai family and Hao Ping turned pale, with a bad feeling creeping over them.

Li Jinxiao quickly scanned the contents of the letter, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

"Nothing special, just a letter Tian Ya wrote to the enemy's spy network, saying that she has made contact with Hao Weiwei and plans to use the Hao family's connections to move to Beijing."

After speaking, he looked at Lin Yinyin. —This sister-in-law is bold and meticulous, courageous and resourceful, and she even had such a hidden trick up her sleeve.

These words were like a block of ice thrown into the office.

Hao Weiwei staggered, her face as white as paper, while Cai Xiangru trembled all over.

"Yinyin, this letter must be fake. Also, since you like the mountain, I will take the liberty of transferring the lease rights of Baihua Peak to you."

We leased it for a hundred years back then, and now there are still ninety-five years left, enough for you to fulfill your dream. Hehe!

A smile flashed in Lin Yinyin's eyes, but she quickly looked flattered and surprised: "Really? Uncle Hao, this...this is too precious, I can't accept it."

"Yes, yes!"

"Our Hao family has wronged you. Consider this compensation. Are you satisfied with what we discussed today?"

That means, we've already compensated you so much, so don't ask for anything else!

"Satisfied, very satisfied!"

She's got the mountain stronghold and the courtyard house in Houhai; she's reaped a great harvest.

Lin Yinyin thanked him politely, "Thank you for the gift, Uncle Hao. I will definitely take good care of that mountain in the future, and I will also stay in Beijing often."

Turning her head, she looked at Li Jinxiao and said, "Big brother, please return this letter to me after you've finished reading it."

Li Jinxiao handed over the letter, and as soon as he let go, Lin Yinyin cried out "Ouch!" because she had lost her grip on the water glass and spilled half of it onto the letter.

"I didn't mean to!" Lin Yinyin hurriedly tried to pick it up, but in her haste, she tore the letter to shreds.

Everyone present: ......

They never expected Lin Yinyin to be so bold!

It was just damaged so openly and brazenly?

Those were letters from enemy agents!

However, the person involved didn't seem to think anything of it, and she looked at Political Commissar Huang.

"Political Commissar Huang, I didn't mean to, you won't blame me, will you?"

Political Commissar Huang: ...I really want to blame you, but looking at the vision of his wife's death, and at these people from the Cai, Hao, and Li families, how can he say anything? Of course not!

Political Commissar Huang chuckled dryly, "How could I? It's just a letter from an unknown source. Why would I blame you?"

"I knew Political Commissar Huang was the best person!" Lin Yinyin smiled even more sweetly.

As she spoke, she took out a few more letters from her pocket and handed them to Political Commissar Huang.

"Political Commissar Huang, these are for you. These are all the correspondence that Tian Ya and the others have been hiding!"

Political Commissar Huang quickly took it, glanced at it briefly, and then suddenly stood up.

"Alright, alright! This involves a lot of people, I'll be going now!"

Watching Political Commissar Huang's hurried departure, the Cai family's earlier doubts about the letter's authenticity vanished instantly. They were also relieved that Lin Yinyin's greed had torn away the label of ties between them and enemy agents.

Hao Ping remained uneasy. He looked at Lin Yinyin, thinking, "This girl is bold and meticulous. What else might she be up to? What else might she want?"

As if she could read his mind, Lin Yinyin shrugged and said bluntly, "Uncle Hao, don't worry, I'm very satisfied today. All the enemy spy letters have been given to Political Commissar Huang. The only one that's related to Sister Hao is the one we just received."

Hao Ping was finally relieved.

Cai Xiangru quickly said, "Since everything has been settled, we won't bother you any longer." She didn't want to stay any longer.

"Yinyin, take good care of yourself and the baby in your belly. Jingxian, we'll be going now."

"Okay, be careful on your way."

"I'm going back too," Li Jinxiao said.

Lin Yinyin's eyes lit up, and she immediately replied, "Big brother, since you and Aunt Xiangru are both going back to Beijing, and it's on your way, could you please handle the transfer of ownership for the hilltop and the courtyard house?"

"Okay." Li Jinxiao readily agreed.

Hao Ping felt a pang of unease. This girl was really unwilling to suffer any loss, as if she was afraid they would deny it.

Although the Hao family has declined, they wouldn't go back on their word!

"In that case, we'll take our leave now," Hao Ping said calmly.

"I won't see you off," He Jingxian said with a smile. "Xiangru, let's meet in Beijing another day."

As everyone left one by one, only Lin Yinyin, Lin Huizhi, and He Jingxian remained in the dean's office.

Lin Yinyin could no longer contain her joy. She turned to her sister and mother-in-law, her eyes sparkling, "Sister! We have a mountain now! We have our own home! And a five-courtyard siheyuan! Hahahaha!"

He Jingxian patted her arm affectionately: "Alright, alright, stop jumping around. You're carrying three children, be careful not to upset the babies."

"It's just a house and a mountain, right? Look how happy you are. Don't you want to see the gift I prepared for you?"

Lin Yinyin's eyes widened instantly. "Mom, you even prepared a gift for our meeting? What is it?"

"Don't rush," He Jingxian waved her hand with a smile, "Let's go to the state-run restaurant for lunch first, I'll give it to you later."

"Okay! I'll do whatever Mom says!"

The three of them chatted and laughed as they left the dean's office and headed straight for the state-run restaurant. Lin Yinyin's mind was filled with thoughts of a mountain and a big house! She completely forgot about the man still lying in the ward, and He Jingxian had long since forgotten about her youngest son waiting for news in the ward.
