Why did you provoke me?

Xiao Wen turned and left, activating his voice transmission bell as he went.

"Xiao Wen, what's wrong?" Hua Shulang's lazy voice came over.

"Come back right away, something big is about to happen. You have two days, hurry up!" Xiao Wen's tone was serious, and his voice carried a commanding tone.

"Where did you get this news? I haven't received any such information."

"Don't ask so many questions. Once you're back, find a place to stay immediately and don't go out. Prepare enough food for seven days." Xiao Wen's tone was urgent.

"Can't we go to the guild hall?"

"The guild hall is closed this afternoon. Will you be able to make it back in time?"

"Damn it, why didn't you say so sooner?" Hua Shulang was getting anxious this time.

"I just got the news from Secretary Wu, so I came to find you right away. Hurry up and stop dawdling."

"How come I haven't heard a whisper of this? These people dare to take my money but do nothing. I'll teach them a lesson!" Hua Shulang's voice rang out from the other end of the intercom. "Pack your things, march home at full speed! Throw away the heavy stuff. Hurry up, two minutes!"

Xiao Wen silently turned off the intercom. He closed his eyes; if it weren't for his relationship with Secretary Wu, he wouldn't have received this news, and he didn't know what would have happened to Hua Shulang.

But he didn't know who to blame. He could only prepare for such things himself and couldn't publicize them, lest someone with ulterior motives seize on them and he end up in jail.

He returned to his squad. "Did you all tell your families? Lock the doors, throw the keys outside, and absolutely no one is allowed to go out. Is that what you said? If not, say it again!"

"I told them, and they all agreed."

Xiao Wen leaned against the wall, feeling utterly exhausted. He knew Yu Meng's personality somewhat; she wouldn't have made such a fuss if she wasn't certain.

That's why he felt powerless. He suddenly remembered that he hadn't messaged Captain Tian yet. They knew each other; he could have reminded him, but if he didn't listen, he had already done his best.

Before he could even turn on his intercom, Captain Tian's voice came through, "Secretary Wu, we'd like to rest here for a bit. You won't refuse, will you?"

Secretary Wu chuckled, "How could I refuse? I welcome guests from all over the world. If there's money to be made, why would I turn away customers? How many days will Captain Tian be staying?"

Captain Tian smiled and said, "I heard you're going to hold a friendly match. I'm friends with them, so I can cheer them on."

Secretary Wu ushered the person inside. "There's something I need to discuss with Captain Tian. We'll be closing this evening for seven days. Is that acceptable, Captain Tian?"

Captain Tian stopped and carefully examined Secretary Wu, making sure he wasn't joking at all.

"Secretary Wu, is it really that serious?"

Secretary Wu shook his head. "It's just a small internal event; we just didn't want anyone to disturb us. It's not a serious matter."

Captain Tian, ​​however, didn't think so. The reason he returned later was because Old Chen was also withdrawing. You see, Old Chen and his men were on the distant Third Front, but Yu Meng actually made them rush back at all costs. He sensed something was amiss.

I was overthinking it, but it was just a thought: "No problem, but do we need to bring our own food and water?"

"No need for that. The fee you paid includes these. It's just that the current price is a bit high. I don't know if Captain Tian can accept it?" Secretary Wu asked sincerely, without any embarrassment about raising the price.

"Of course, no problem, but can you guarantee the safety?" Captain Tian was certainly not one to be trifled with.

"Of course, as long as you follow orders, that's not a problem at all."

Captain Tian gave Secretary Wu a deep look. Following his orders meant that if anything happened, they would have to help too.

But circumstances forced him to comply. Captain Tian finally nodded.

Xiao Wen watched as Captain Tian followed Secretary Wu around the corner to another room. He didn't greet them; he didn't know what to say. He'd just have to wait and see what happened in two days.

The Hou family.

Holding the newly obtained intelligence, Butler Han asked, "They've all been withdrawn? Not even a single squad was left behind?"

"Yes, as you instructed. We sent ten people to investigate, and now all of their people on the alien battlefield have withdrawn. Not a single one has been left."

Butler Han dismissed the people, his forehead slightly damp. This must be a huge matter, requiring the evacuation of everyone. You see, the moment people leave, someone will search their former locations. If something is found, the loss will be enormous.

Yu Meng couldn't have been unaware of this, but she still did it anyway. Think about it carefully, and what you glean from it is your own business. He felt he should go see the young master again.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Yu Meng stood by the window, and Aunt Qing and the others also gathered in Yu Meng's room.

"Ten minutes left," Yu Meng muttered softly.

Niannian gripped her hand tightly. "Fourth Sister, is it really that accurate?" There was no fear in her eyes, but rather a restless excitement.

Aunt Qing and the others also came to the window. The moonlight was hazy, but the stars in the sky were visible. A cold wind seeped in through the cracks in the window, and they actually felt cold.

"Look, the moon has changed!" Niannian's voice rang out. Everyone looked up, and sure enough, the moon had gained color. "I love the red moon the most!" Niannian said happily.

"There's no red moon, it's clearly a golden moon. I wish I could pluck it down from the sky." Huang Yan looked at the sky with envy.

"It looks pink to me. If I had a child, I would definitely take it off for him to play with."

Qingyuan looked at the group and said, "You guys really have wild ideas. That's the moon, and you're all thinking of plucking it down. Do you even think you can do that?"

Yu Meng looked at Qingyuan and asked, "Aunt Qing, have you ever thought about picking it?"

"No, I see it every day, why would I pick it?"

Yu Meng's little black cat jumped onto Niannian's shoulder and rubbed against Niannian's face.

Niannian patted it, "Good girl, thank you!"

The little black cat jumped onto Teacher Sun and Huang Yan's shoulders again.

They were stunned for a moment before realizing what was happening. "What is this? I really did have the idea of ​​plucking the moon from the sky just now."

Qingyuan looked at Yu Meng with a complicated expression, "You've broken through."

Yu Meng shook her head, "I don't know if it counts, there's no reference sample."

Xiao Wen suddenly shouted from outside, "Quick, pull him down! How can he think of anything? Even the moon?"

The people inside looked at each other; even the trained soldiers were confused?

"Yu Meng, do you know what it is?" Qing Yuan asked softly.

"Let's wait and see; it's not certain yet."

"Niannian, go tell Xiao Wen that if there are any more people like this, knock them out and lock them in a dark room." Yu Meng couldn't possibly focus her energy on people like this.

Niannian turned and left, the little black cat perched on her shoulder, showing no sign of getting off.

Qingyuan and Teacher Sun looked at each other but didn't say anything.

"Teacher Yu, I'm here." Secretary Wu pushed open the door, panting. "These people are obsessed; they insist on reaching for the moon. Some have even climbed onto their houses."

Niannian's voice rang out behind Secretary Wu, "Uncle, what color is the moon you see?"

"It's hanging there every day, don't you know what it looks like? Don't joke like that with an old man." Secretary Wu didn't even turn around, talking as he walked, and found a chair to sit down and catch his breath.

Everyone in the room was staring at Secretary Wu, making her feel uneasy. "What's wrong with me? Why are you all looking at me?"

"Because there's no one behind you, who are you talking to?" Qingyuan asked in confusion.

"How could that be? Niannian asked me what color the moon is?"
