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

at this time,

in the car,

Qin Huanhuan blushed and said, "Honey, it's nothing, just some private stuff between us women."

Xiao Zhan stared at Qin Huanhuan's face and said, "Wife, why is your face so red?"

Qin Huanhuan rolled her eyes and said coquettishly, "Don't you know why my face is red? How dare you ask me?"

Xiao Zhan reached out and put his arm around Qin Huanhuan's slender waist, whispering in her ear, "Wife, are you really going to agree to let Xia Keke be our child's godmother?"

Qin Huanhuan twisted her waist to remove Xiao Zhan's hand. She was afraid that Xiao Zhan would be unable to resist touching her, making her feel like a lustful woman who couldn't stop. Then she pretended to be angry and said, "Husband, can't I agree? It's hard for a woman to carry a child for ten months and give birth. Don't I even have the right to choose who my child should be the godmother of? It's not like he should be the godfather."

Seeing Qin Huanhuan's displeasure, Xiao Zhan quickly switched to his doting husband mode, saying, "Wife, don't be angry. You always keep your word. It's just that Xia Keke doesn't want to find a man or have children. She wants to pick up a free lunch. There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"The child was created by the two of us with great effort, how can we let someone else have it? Besides, I was deliberately trying to provoke Xia Keke, hoping that she would find a boyfriend sooner, get married and have children. A woman in her thirties, if she doesn't get married and have children soon, she will really be lonely in her old age. As her best partner, I have an obligation to think about her."

Qin Huanhuan then understood Xiao Zhan's good intentions and said, "Honey, I didn't think that much about it, but it's not really convenient for a grown man like you to do this. Let me try to persuade Sister Keke."

Xiao Zhan: "That's great. When you're free, talk to Xia Keke about the sweet things between us. The more she hears, the more likely she is to develop feelings for you. Every woman has her own secrets, it's just a matter of time before her heart is moved."

Qin Huanhuan nodded and said, "Okay, honey, but you should also be more careful in the future and keep a certain distance from Sister Coco. I noticed that Sister Coco looks at you differently, but I can't stop you from associating with her."

"Thump!"

Xiao Zhanxin's heart sank suddenly, and he said, "We're partners in life and death, brothers. I have no feelings for her whatsoever."

Qin Huanhuan: "Just because you don't have any thoughts doesn't mean she doesn't. Trust me, husband, a woman's intuition is the most accurate."

"squeak!"

At this moment, Shen Jun stopped the car, turned around and said, "President Zhan, sister-in-law, we've arrived at the old house."

Xiao Zhan looked up and saw that the car had already stopped at the entrance of the Xiao family compound, and Uncle Yu was standing at the door waiting.

Xiao Zhan noticed that Uncle Yu looked much older than before, with his hair completely white. He felt a pang of disappointment and thought to himself, "I hope Uncle Yu has nothing to do with the Mole Project."

At this moment, Shen Jun opened the car door, and Xiao Zhan pulled Qin Huanhuan out of the car and walked towards the door...

Uncle Yu stepped forward and said, "Young Master Zhan, Young Madam, you're back! The old commander knew you were coming back, so he specially asked the kitchen to add a few of your favorite home-style dishes."

"Young Master Zhan, the old commander is waiting for you in the study."

Qin Huanhuan stepped forward and said, "Hello, Uncle Yu."

Then he handed over a gift and said, "Uncle Yu, this is the latest electric shaver I bought for you. It's the same model that Xiao Zhan uses. It's the latest technological achievement and it works very well."

Mr. Yu was both surprised and touched, and said, "Young mistress even bought me things, you are so thoughtful."

Qin Huanhuan: "When I came back last time, I saw that the razor you were using was an old model that had been used for many years, and the blades were dull, so I bought you one too. It's just a small gift, a New Year's present for you."

Uncle Yu accepted the gift with trembling hands, his eyes moist.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan said, "Huanhuan, go and talk to Grandpa and Grandma. I want to have a few words with Uncle Yu alone."

Qin Huanhuan said very sensibly, "Okay, you guys chat."

Then he strode into the courtyard with his long legs...

Xiao Zhan pointed to the back mountain behind the old house and said, "Uncle Yu, let's go for a walk in the back mountain. I haven't been there for years. If we're lucky, we can see the sunset. I remember the sunset in the back mountain was so beautiful when I was a child. I wonder if the sunset now is the same as it used to be. They say time is like a butcher's knife. I hope things won't change and I won't be disappointed."

Yu Bo's deeply wrinkled face changed several times; how could he not understand the meaning behind Xiao Zhan's words?

Uncle Yu nodded slightly, his back slightly hunched, and said, "Young Master Zhan, the back mountain is still the same back mountain. No matter how many years have passed, it has never changed. The only thing that has changed is the eyes that admire it."

Xiao Zhan nodded, then strode towards the back of the mountain.

Only the two of them could understand their conversation.

Uncle Yu quickly followed...

After parking the car, Shen Jun saw Xiao Zhan and Uncle Yu walking towards the back mountain, and couldn't help but look around.

at this time,

sunset.

It was still quite cold in the early spring evening. A gust of wind blew and Shen Jun shivered. He then took a camouflage jacket from the car and put it on. He also took two pistols and four magazines from the storage box and tucked them into his waistband.

Shen Jun followed the two at a distance, walking slowly and cautiously, his eyes watching the surroundings warily.

With Shen Jun's keen insight and sensitivity, he always felt that someone was secretly monitoring his every move...

Xiao Zhan walked up the mountain path, and Uncle Yu followed behind him, saying, "Young Master Zhan, I'm sorry you had to suffer. I heard from the old chief that A had a talk with you."

Xiao Zhan said calmly, "Uncle Yu, to tell you the truth, A's intention is to thoroughly settle accounts with anyone who has any connection with B and Liu Shiyuan. I already shielded you once last time, but this time I'm afraid I'm willing but unable to do so."

Uncle Yu's expression changed, and he said, "I know, I will definitely give you and the old commander an explanation."

Xiao Zhan stopped and looked at Uncle Yu, asking, "Tell me the truth, are you involved in Project Mole or not?"

Yu Bo's expression changed several times, then he sighed and said, "Alas, Young Master Zhan, at this point, whether I participate or not is no longer important. Zhenguo made the wrong bet. As the saying goes, 'The winner is king, the loser is a bandit.' B is dead, Liu Shiyuan is dead, and the Mole Plan has completely failed. When Zhenguo told me about it, I told him to stop immediately. But I didn't expect that he would not only disobey me, but also secretly plan to lure you to the countryside to ambush you. Fortunately, you were alert and made preparations in secret, which is why you returned safely without any danger."

"Alas, if anything were to happen to you, I would be guilty even if I died a hundred times over, and I would be ashamed of the trust and kindness that the old chief and the Xiao family have shown to my family."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "Uncle Yu, I want to talk to Zhenguo in person. I can assure you that as long as he follows my instructions, there may still be a glimmer of hope for him."

"This is the greatest sincerity I can offer!"

Uncle Yu: "Alright, I'll have Zhenguo come out to see you."

suddenly,

Xiao Zhan felt a piercing pain between his brows, and his head throbbed as if it were about to explode...

Xiao Zhan knew this was his body's protective mechanism sending him a warning...

Then Xiao Zhan shouted, "Enemy attack!"

Then he grabbed Uncle Yu next to him and fell to the ground...

at the same time,

"Bang!"

A sniper rifle shot startled the evening from the back mountain...
