Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

With a lightning-fast leap, like a soaring dragon or a fierce tiger, he strode in from outside the compound, stepping over the oil stain and ignoring the group of dirty and disheveled comrades beside him. Like a surging tide, he pounced on the woman sitting listlessly curled up in the rocking chair.

"Ugh... ugh!"

Lu Yanzheng's hoarse voice was so hoarse that he could no longer speak. His angular face was covered in dust, and his bloodshot eyes were filled with crimson veins.

His clothes were soaked with sweat, and the soles of his shoes were worn down to just the uppers.

Those dirty, muddy feet, covered in bright red blood, were a shocking sight.

His pitiful appearance was even more tragic than those guys who had just fallen and were completely disoriented.

Xiao Re felt a pang of heartache seeing this.

But he still stubbornly insists!

"Get out of here!"

"I don't want to see you!"

Lu Yanzheng stared intently into those blood-red eyes, gazing steadily at the person before him. No matter how she tried to avoid or resist, he pressed his lips against her dry, cracked lips and kissed her fiercely.

At this moment, he wasn't driven by lust or unable to control himself; he was genuinely panicked, anxious, and afraid...

Only when you truly feel that your woman is still in your arms and that your lips can still feel her warmth can you be sure that you are still alive.

If he were to abandon her, leave her, and run away, he would truly go crazy.

"Rer! Hug me, I'm scared!"

"Wife! Kiss me, I'm in pain!"

"Baby! Does your tummy still hurt? Let me feel it!"

"My love, I was so wrong, please don't leave me!"

........

Lu Yanzheng pleaded while holding his wife tightly and kissing her.

The moment this string of obsequious, greasy, and cheesy sweet talk was uttered, everyone in the room got goosebumps.

Especially Commander Ming, who fell the hardest—

He hadn't vomited even after being crushed into a meat patty by seven or eight subordinates, but Lu Yanzheng's nauseatingly sweet words made him want to vomit.

His face was dark and sullen. He turned his head to the side in anger, pointed a greasy, dirty finger at Lu Yanzheng, and cursed him.

"Lu Yanzheng!"

"You...you...you...shut up!"

"You, a regimental commander of a military region, don't salute your superiors and comrades! This...this...this is utterly disgraceful!"

"And you keep spouting such shameless, cheesy nonsense, aren't you ashamed!"

Lu Yanzheng slowly opened his mouth, wiped the water stains from the corner of his lips, and then realized that there were other people in the room.

He was in such a hurry when he came in that he really didn't see it.

"Commander, what brings you to my house?"

Ming Xiuyuan rubbed the bump on his forehead that hurt from the fall, his brows furrowed, his authoritative voice carrying suppressed anger.

"You bastard, you abandoned the mission halfway through, ruining the entire investigation department's plan, and you still have the nerve to ask me why I came to your house?"

"If I hadn't come... would you still have any respect for military law and regulations? Would you still have any respect for the national armed forces?"

Lu Yanzheng slowly raised his head, stood at attention, gave a military salute, and then answered with a firm and powerful voice.

"have!"

"In my heart, the country and the army will always come first. I am willing to give my life for the army, shed my blood, and even sacrifice my life."

"But... my darling wife, she's my life!"

That's quite a grand and dignified statement.

Listening to it stirs the blood and inspires awe; one can be willing to sacrifice one's life for the army and give one's life for the motherland!

But when it really matters, he says his life belongs to his wife!

What's the point of selling it?!

"Get out of my way!"

"I don't want to listen to your nonsense!"

Ming Xiuyuan rubbed his aching lower back and interrupted him impatiently.

"We are here today not to hear you pledge your loyalty or boast, but to have a heart-to-heart talk with Comrade Xiao and discuss some strategic issues concerning the military."

Xiao Re raised her eyes slightly, about to speak, but Lu Yanzheng spoke first.

"Commander!"

"My wife is simple-minded, naive, gentle, and particularly timid. Please don't try to pressure her with those military tactics."

"She's just an ordinary woman who hasn't experienced much hardship. You can talk to me if you have any questions."

Ming Xiuyuan almost laughed when he heard Lu Yanzheng's words.

Ha! Her wife is timid and hasn't experienced any storms. She has no idea which audacious vixen stirred up all the big storms in the army.

As soon as she took office, she dismissed a deputy commander of a military region and brought down a local police station chief. Such ruthless and decisive methods are unparalleled in the entire military region.

He didn't want to talk about the huge mess he'd made in the Tianjin-Chongqing military unit.

What timid woman could stir up such a huge hornet's nest?

Do they really think he, the head of the investigation department, is a pushover who doesn't bother with any background checks before rashly coming to talk to us?

Unlike that arrogant and foolish Wang Shengri, who looked down on everyone and abused his power for personal gain, he ultimately walked right into a trap set by a woman.

Ming Xiuyuan smiled calmly, his anger turning into seriousness. He dusted off his uniform and introduced himself in a gentle and polite manner.

Incidentally, let's flatter Lu Yanzheng and Xiao Re, the couple.

"Comrade Xiao, hello. I am Ming Xiuyuan, Minister of the National Defense Reconnaissance Department, and also Commander of the Jizhou Military Region."

"Your husband, Lu Yanzheng, is a highly valued military cadre in our military region. Hearing that his family is expecting a child, I have come today on behalf of the officers and soldiers of the Jizhou Military Region to visit you and offer my congratulations."

"You are also welcome to come to the Jizhou Military Region to join the army and contribute to our People's Liberation Army."

Xiao Re raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled without making a sound, and quickly got up from the recliner, pretending to be hospitable. He picked up the teapot and made a move to go to the kitchen to boil water and make tea.

"So it's Commander Ming! Hello, hello! My apologies for not recognizing you!"

"You came in so suddenly...it gave me quite a fright!"

"I didn't even realize you were leaders! I thought you were just a few drunk soldiers who accidentally barged in!"

"I'm so sorry! It's so impolite of me to fail to greet you properly, Commander!

"I'll go make you some tea right away!"

"You can discuss your important military and national affairs first. These military matters are all classified, and I, a dull-witted woman, wouldn't understand them anyway, so it's better to avoid them!"

These smooth and tactful words, spoken with perfect eloquence and without leaving a trace, even impressed the head of the investigation department, who had seen countless people!

This woman is truly a formidable character!

Intelligent, alert, wise, and perceptive. Knowing full well their purpose, he feigned ignorance and naivety.

And once she opens her mouth, she leaves people speechless; she is truly a cunning and sly little fox.

Ming Xiuyuan smiled and called out to her, waving his hand quickly.

"No, no! We don't drink tea!"

"Comrade Xiao, you are pregnant, please sit down and rest, there's no need to work so hard."

"We're not here today to discuss any important military or national affairs. We mainly want to chat with you, have a talk, catch up on everyday matters, and show some concern for the daily lives and marital relationships of military wives."
