Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"Are you Xiao Zhan?"

Suddenly, a man in a black suit walked over from the guard post at the entrance and stared at Xiao Zhan without warning, asking him a question.

Xiao Zhan looked up and saw that this person had the demeanor of a superior, exuding a powerful aura of authority from within. In particular, his triangular eyes stared at Xiao Zhan like a cobra eyeing its prey, making Xiao Zhan very uncomfortable.

Xiao Zhan didn't recognize the man, so he subconsciously looked at Du Shan, who immediately shuddered, raised his hand in salute, and said, "Reporting to the commander, this is Xiao Zhan."

The man's face darkened as he said, "Du Shan, I didn't ask you."

Du Shan's face turned pale and weak, and he stood there speechless.

Xiao Zhan calmly replied, "I am Xiao Zhan. May I ask who you are?"

Just as Du Shan was about to make an introduction, the man shouted sternly, "Du Shan, this is none of your business, get out of here."

Du Shan's tall, slender body trembled slightly, and his face turned as red as a pig's liver, clearly showing that he was very afraid of this person.

Xiao Zhan couldn't stand it any longer and thought to himself, "Even if you are a leader in the central government, you can't bully people so recklessly. A person who doesn't respect others like this can't be a good leader. Besides, Du Shan didn't do anything wrong."

"Everything should be done reasonably and according to principles. Telling Du Shan to get lost in public like that is an insult."

So Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice, "Hello, leader. If you're looking for me, don't make things difficult for Du Shan. He's just following orders. I don't know you, and I have no idea what grudge we have that would make you so angry and cause such a fuss. Are you trying to elevate your own status by slapping others in the face and trampling them underfoot?"

"Excuse me, could you please move aside? I have something to do."

After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, he looked at Du Shan and said, "Du Shan, please take us to see Deputy Chief of Staff Wan."

Then he said to Xia Keke, "Director Xia, let's go, so we don't have to listen to this noise."

The word "noisy" was used very heavily here, and the man's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

Xiao Zhan didn't care about him. A person who doesn't know how to respect others certainly doesn't deserve respect from others.

Xia Keke went even further, adding insult to injury by saying, "It's been a long time since I've heard a dog barking. Now I'm not scared at all. Animals are just animals. All they do is bark, eat, and poop. They can't even speak human language."

The man's face turned pale and weak again...

After Xia Keke finished speaking, she didn't even glance at the man, and followed Xiao Zhan through the gate led by Du Shan.

The sentry saluted. He had seen everything that had just happened at the gate, but it was outside his jurisdiction, and he had no right to interfere with a leader who was much higher in rank than him...

"snort!"

The man grunted angrily, a malice flashing across his triangular eyes as he watched Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke's retreating figures. He gritted his teeth and muttered, "Xiao Zhan, Xia Keke, I'll let you have your moment of pleasure. Just wait and see how I deal with you later."

As Xiao Zhan walked, he asked Du Shan, "Who is this person?"

Du Shan: "Hao Mingyuan, Deputy Director of the Central Office."

Xiao Zhan: "The former director of the central government that I appointed was Kong Jianhua. Where is he now?"

"How did they manage to make someone like this a deputy director?"

Du Shan looked up and around, then whispered, "Hao Mingyuan has connections. Director Kong Jianhua has retired, and now several deputy directors listen to Hao Mingyuan. In fact, Hao Mingyuan is now exercising the power of the director."

Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke couldn't help but exchange a glance.

Both of them suddenly understood that the matter of burning the first incense stick at dawn on the first day of the lunar new year could now be explained.

Du Shan led the two men to a small hut and said, "Captain Xiao, Director Xia, you two rest here for a while. Deputy Chief of Staff Wan will come to see you in a little while."

Xiao Zhan: "Okay, Du Shan, thank you."

at the same time,

Several SUVs were speeding along the highway.

Inside the carriage,

Su Zihao held Su Zixing's hand and said, "Zixing, it's not too late for you to regret it now. I can see that you are deeply in love with Xiao Zhan. I don't want to put you in a difficult position, and I don't want you to live with painful memories in the future."

Su Zixing shook her head, looking out the car window at the distant fields, and said, "I know that everyone in this world who is not related to me by blood but is still willing to be good to me is a gift from God. Zihao, although we both have the surname Su, we are not related by blood. I remember that from childhood to adulthood, you have always been by my side protecting me. Until I went to study abroad, I realized that rather than finding someone I love, it is better to find someone who loves me."

Su Zihao looked deeply into Su Zixing's beautiful face and said, "My love for you comes from the bottom of my heart, Zixing. I'm asking you one last time, are you really sure?"

Su Zixing withdrew her gaze and landed on Su Zihao's angular and resolute face, saying, "I've made up my mind. From now on, I'll wander the world with you, and together we'll manage the Assassin Alliance well."

suddenly,

Su Zixing saw a temple in the distance and said, "Zihao, there's a temple over there. It's fate that we're passing by. I'd like to go in and pray to the Bodhisattva, and maybe draw a fortune stick?"

Su Zihao immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and called out, "Lead car, go down to the exit ahead and head to the temple up there."

"The lead vehicle understands."

After ten minutes,

"Squeak...squeak..."

Several cars were parked in front of the temple.

Su Zixing got out of the car, walked into the temple hall, knelt in front of the Bodhisattva, put her hands together, and silently prayed, "Bodhisattva, please forgive my past killings and sins and let me return to a normal life."

At this moment, an old monk stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and said, "Amitabha, has the lady come seeking marriage or to dispel misfortune and resolve doubts?"

Su Zixing: "Master, why do two people who have no future together meet?"

The old monk stared at Su Zixing's face for several seconds, then put his palms together and said, "Amitabha, who says there's no outcome? Everything in this world has cause and effect; it's just that things didn't go as you wished."

"Isn't the process itself a result?"

"There is no essential difference between mutual support and forgetting each other in the vast world; the only difference is the length of time they stay together."

Su Zixing: "Master, wouldn't it be even more heartbreaking if they came and then left?"

The old monk said, "Amitabha Buddha, the greatest regret in this world is not loss, but not cherishing what you have. How do you know that the encounters in this life are not to make up for past regrets? Whoever you meet is someone you are meant to meet in your life. The only thing you can do is to treat them sincerely when you have them, and to let them go calmly when you lose them, because the truth of life is that nothing is gained."

Su Zixing: "A single word, 'love,' binds a person; a single word, 'affection,' locks a heart. To fall in love with someone you shouldn't is to be destined to endure the torment of longing. Only those who are imprisoned can truly understand this kind of piercing pain."

The old monk said, "Feelings are never the blade that wounds; it is always the one who values ​​feelings who gets hurt. Sincerity itself is not wrong; the mistake lies in not meeting someone who cherishes you. Resentment arises from love, and fate has destined us to face many hardships, so why force it?"

Su Zixing: "Master, may I draw a fortune stick?"

The old monk said, "Amitabha, of course."

Su Zixing shook the divination tube with both hands.

"Clatter."

One of the tickets fell out.

The old monk picked up the fortune stick, looked at it, and said;

Meeting again is already a blessing, why waste the rest of our lives longing for each other?

Newcomers don't know my past, and old friends don't know my current situation.

Grapes and fine wine in crystal cups, drinking with beautiful women is now a thing of the past.

If I think of you and gaze at the bright moon, only the bright moon shines upon you.
