Instructing her daughter to practice throwing knives, the police were frightened and asked to file

"Mom and Dad, let's talk about this later. You've forgotten the most important thing," Qin Tian said with a smile, then pulled An Ran, who was standing shy and nervous beside him, over.

"Hello, Uncle and Auntie," Anran greeted them politely.

“This is…” Li Mingchuan and Wang Muxue exchanged a glance when they saw An Ran, and a glint of light flashed in their eyes.

"Your future daughter-in-law, her name is An Ran, and she studies medicine," Qin Tian introduced. The original sentence "医江雨厌学艺床的厂" was clearly garbled or an incorrect input, and has been corrected according to the context.

"An Ran, your future daughter-in-law?" Li Mingchuan and Wang Muxue's smiles widened even more: "Great, great, great, wonderful! We never expected that this trip would not only bring back our son, but also the fact that he's become a colonel, and now he's brought back a daughter-in-law. It's all worth it! Absolutely worth it!"

The family was reunited, and the atmosphere was warm and joyful.

Li Mingchuan and Wang Muxue had been engrossed in their research, and now that they could see their son's achievements, they were filled with joy.

Even colonels under the age of twenty, who didn't understand military matters, understood the significance of this.

Of course, as parents, their biggest concern was the safety of their children. Hearing Qin Tian mention his experiences in South America and Thailand, even though he tried to downplay them, they were still terrified.

An Ran, who was standing to the side, was also surprised. Only then did she realize how much Qin Tian had been through during this time. She couldn't help but hold Qin Tian's hand tightly under the table, not daring to let go, for fear that she would lose him if she did.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I'm fine now, aren't I?" Qin Tian comforted Li Mingchuan and Wang Muxue, "Besides, with my current strength, I'm still very strong. Otherwise, how do you think I got the rank of colonel? You don't need to worry about me."

“Anyway, you better listen to me from now on. Be careful in everything you do. Forget about any national missions. My son’s life is the most important thing. As for contributing to the country, haven’t we, as a couple, contributed enough? Do we need my son to risk his life for us?” Wang Muxue said.

“Yes, that’s what your dad thinks too. It’s enough for the two of us old guys to contribute to the country. I think you shouldn’t join the army anymore. Just marry Anran as soon as possible and give us a healthy, chubby grandson.” Li Mingchuan couldn’t help but chime in.

The couple had indeed made many contributions to the country, and they really didn't want Qin Tian to take any more risks for the country.

“Mom and Dad, I understand how you feel,” Qin Tian shook his head and said solemnly and firmly, “but joining the army is my way of realizing my life’s value. My goal is to one day see China stand proudly on the world stage and reign supreme!”

As he spoke, he exuded a convincing aura. Li Mingchuan and Wang Muxue stared at their son for a long time, speechless. They knew that their son had truly grown up and had his own thoughts and pursuits.

Why shouldn't a man carry a Wu hook and recover fifty prefectures beyond the passes!
Thinking back to my youth, wasn't I also full of passion? That's why I've dedicated decades to research for the country without any regrets.

Helpless, they exchanged a glance and gave up trying to persuade Qin Tian.

“Xiao Ran, he only sees you a few times a year during the year, so don’t blame him,” Wang Muxue said to An Ran.

“Auntie, Brother Meteor is protecting our country. I understand, I comprehend it.” An Ran looked at Qin Tian affectionately, holding his hand and said, “I will always wait for him.”

After hearing about Qin Tian's experiences and aspirations, she felt even more certain that this man was the one she would never change her mind about for the rest of her life.

"Okay, okay, that's good." Wang Muxue also seemed very pleased. Since her future daughter-in-law didn't mind, she had nothing more to say.

"By the way, Mom and Dad, how many days off do you have this time? How about we go on a family vacation? It's been a long time since we've spent time together," Qin Tian suggested.

He hadn't spent much time with his parents in a long time, and now that he had Anran, he hadn't taken her out to play either, so he felt a little guilty.

“We can take a week off, but I don’t know if you’ll be free on Xiao Nian, or Xiao Ran,” Wang Muxue said happily, as they had the same idea.

"I'm fine with it. I just took a vacation, and it's easy to take leave now," Qin Tian said. With his current status, he still has a lot of freedom unless there are special missions, since Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei said he would give him the maximum authority.

"I just finished a project, and my coursework has been relatively light lately, so I can free up three days of free time," An Ran said after thinking for a moment.

"That's great! Let's go on vacation!" Wang Muxue and Li Mingchuan were both very happy.

After discussion, since Li Mingchuan and Wang Muxue couldn't go too far, let alone abroad, they decided to go to a resort called Lover's Island near Jiang City. (The original text "施们医定医江市近近一个叫情人区酒店医" contained garbled characters and has been corrected.)

This seems to be something Li Mingchuan and Wang Muxue did on purpose, wanting to create some romance for Qin Tian and An Ran.

After all, the name Lover's Island sounds very romantic.

However, a disagreement arose when discussing the matter with Xu Zhengyang, who was in charge of protecting Li Mingchuan and Wang Muxue.

Qin Tian's original intention was to protect his parents himself, since he was confident that with his current strength, he was stronger than Xu Zhengyang's entire bird protection team.

But Xu Zhengyang felt it was his duty and was unwilling to shirk it.

There were too many people and it was too conspicuous. After all, the bird protection team had ten people, and with them and Zhuang Yan, there were fifteen people in total, almost like a tour group. This was too eye-catching.

After discussion, it was finally decided that Xu Zhengyang and another captain named Qu Zhongheng would follow.

So, Qin Tian, ​​An Ran and his parents, along with Zhuang Yan, Xu Zhengyang and Qu Zhongheng, a group of seven, disguised themselves and went to Lover's Island for a trip like an ordinary family.

Lover's Island is a small, elongated resort island near Jiang City, running northwest to southeast for over a thousand meters. From above, it resembles a "人" (human) shaped peninsula, hence its name. To promote tourism, a suspension bridge was built on the shore, connecting directly to the island, allowing visitors to easily reach it by car.

Lover's Island is surrounded by the sea and boasts stunning scenery.

After getting off the bus, a gentle sea breeze blew by, instantly invigorating and relaxing the mind. This is indeed a great place for a leisurely vacation.

There is a hotel on the island called Lover's Island Hotel, which is decorated in a grand and luxurious style, and the price is naturally quite high.

However, Qin Tian still has 150 million yuan in hand, so he is not short of money. Moreover, his parents kept trying to stuff cards into his hand while he was in the car, and there were at least 10 to 20 million yuan in those cards.

Upon arriving at the hotel entrance, Xu Zhengyang and Qu Zhongheng professionally looked around to ensure the safety of the surrounding environment.

"Relax," Qin Tian whispered to them. "We're here on vacation. If you're all this tense, it's like telling everyone you're protecting someone important."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhengyang and Qu Zhongheng's faces stiffened slightly. They admitted that Qin Tian's words made sense, but their professional habits were hard to change in a short time.

In reality, Qin Tian possessed even stronger detection capabilities. He could spot danger with a single scan, and he was confident in his abilities. Unless a large force was mobilized, it was difficult for anyone to pose a threat to him. (The original text "施不陌任阿跳戚" was garbled and has been corrected according to the context.) This was also why he dared to bring his parents on a trip.

With him there, he could ensure his parents' safety. The group then headed into the hotel to check in.

Just as they entered the hotel, Qin Tian suddenly looked up and saw a figure walk into the elevator that seemed somewhat familiar.

A woman with short hair.

But the elevator doors closed too quickly, and he didn't see clearly. Of course, if he wanted to see, he could use his supernatural abilities or X-ray vision, but he felt it was unnecessary.

"Brother Meteor, what's wrong? What are you looking at?" An Ran asked.

"It's nothing, let's check in first." Qin Tian smiled, and then they walked to the front desk.

"Hello sir, do you have a reservation?" the receptionist asked with a professional smile.

"Not yet. Are there any rooms available?" Qin Tian asked. Because he had come in a hurry and knew it was the off-season, he hadn't made a reservation in advance. (Note: The original text "匜既段置" was garbled and has been corrected.)

"How many rooms do you need, sir?" the receptionist asked again.

"Sir, we need to share a room with Professor Li and the others. We can sleep on the sofa." Xu Zhengyang said to Qin Tian in a low voice. This was for 24-hour close protection.

Qin Tian nodded. With two people protecting him, he felt more at ease. In case anything happened, they could at least hold out for a while until he arrived.

So he asked, "Do you have any suites with a living room and a bedroom?"

"Yes, our hotel has suites on the second floor. A large suite costs 2,500 yuan per night, and a small suite costs 2,000 yuan per night," the receptionist replied.

"Well, then give us..." Qin Tian looked around. Now his parents, Xu Zhengyang, and Qu Zhongheng would be sharing a room, Zhuang Yan would be in a room by himself, and An Ran would also need a room arranged.

He did want to share a room with An Ran, but his parents were both there, and he felt a little embarrassed, afraid that it would affect An Ran's image in his parents' eyes. Besides, he didn't know if An Ran would think that things were progressing too quickly.

He looked at An Ran, who also seemed a little uneasy and nervous, keeping her head down and not daring to speak or look at him.

This made him even more indecisive.

Just as Qin Tian was hesitating, a minibus stopped in front of the hotel, and a group of people got off the bus.

The group was all dressed in matching sportswear. The one in the lead, seemingly the team leader, wore a suit with a red rose tucked into the front pocket, giving him a rather refined appearance. (The original text "颇丙温区际雁" was garbled and has been corrected.)

But Qin Tian's eyes narrowed slightly at this moment, because he vaguely sensed that this group of people were not simple. They looked like a group of athletes, but they all had serious expressions and seemed to have a faint smell of blood on their bodies, which meant that they had probably killed people. In particular, the team leader looked gentle and refined, but the smell of blood on him was much stronger than the others, so he probably had more lives on his hands.

At this moment, a resort staff member (the original text "service staff member Ben (Li Zhao's)" was garbled or incorrectly entered and has been deleted) tried to help them with their luggage, but was rudely pushed away by one of the athletes. Although the team leader apologized later, this made Qin Tian even more suspicious that these people were not simple.

"Sir, how many rooms do you need?" Just then, the receptionist's urgent voice interrupted Qin Tian's thoughts.

"Give us three large suites," Qin Tian said, coming back to his senses.

Because the newly arrived group of people made him feel unsafe, he couldn't worry about anything else and had no choice but to stay with them for An Ran's safety.

Upon hearing this, An Ran blushed to the roots of her neck.

She felt a bit conflicted. She was initially embarrassed because Qin Tian's parents were there and wanted to refuse, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. After struggling with her feelings for a while, she could only lower her head and agree.

Her thoughts drifted far away, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"No, Captain, just give me a small room, I can't stay in such a big one," Zhuang Yan said quickly.

"It's alright, just register. We all live close together, so it'll be good to have someone to look out for us," Qin Tian said to the receptionist, not caring about the money.

"Okay, sir." A moment later, the receptionist checked everyone in and handed Qin Tian the key cards, saying, "Sir, your rooms are 208, 209, and 210. We hope you have a pleasant stay."

"Thank you." Qin Tian took the card, then casually asked, "By the way, were those people athletes?"

"This looks like a football club. They're here for acclimatization training. I heard they're going to play in the AFC U-19 Championship," said the young woman at the front desk.

"Which team are you on?" Qin Tian asked again.

"I think it's called the Seahorse Club." The receptionist thought for a moment and replied, "I'm not really sure about the specifics. This is the club our manager serves. Anyway, you just need to pay."

"Captain, is there a problem with these people?" Zhuang Yan asked in a low voice.

"Go back and investigate this Seahorse Club," Qin Tian instructed. "And remember, always keep communication open and stay in touch." (Note: The original text contained a typo, "联路," which has been corrected.)

"Yes, Captain," Zhuang Yan replied quickly.

"Relax, don't let anyone notice anything," Qin Tian said calmly.

"Understood." Zhuang Yan tried to relax a bit. "Captain Xu," Qin Tian then turned to Xu Zhengyang and said, "You guys might have to work hard tonight. What do you think of that group?"

“These people’s pace and breathing are very synchronized, and their eyes are fierce. I think there’s something wrong with them.” Xu Zhengyang also noticed something amiss and said in a low voice, “Should I contact the police?”

"It would be good to make contact, but don't alarm them yet. Find out what they're up to, what their purpose is in coming to Jiang City, and if possible, follow the clues to find out who's behind them," Qin Tian said after a moment's thought. "Also, pay attention to which rooms they're staying in."

"Okay." Xu Zhengyang nodded in agreement. (End of Chapter)
