She married a military officer in the 1970s and was pampered by the family members in the compound!

Knowing Sui Yuanyuan's ability to distinguish scents, Su Lie unhesitatingly shielded her behind him and took out the pistol he had just seized.

"Click!"

The sound of a pistol being cocked echoed in the darkness as Su Lie silently crept into the cave.

Sui Yuanyuan even had several silver needles between her fingers, ready to stab him to death if things went wrong.

The cave was pitch black. After the two of them crept inside, Sui Yuanyuan could smell an unfamiliar scent and nervously swallowed.

Before she could even see what was happening, Su Lie had already made his move.

Sui Yuanyuan covered her head and rolled on the ground to escape the fighting and avoid being accidentally injured.

All I could hear were the sounds of fists and kicks, and sharp whistles cutting through the air.

"Girl, turn on the flashlight!"

Su Lie shouted sharply, and Sui Yuanyuan shone her light towards the source of the sound, which landed squarely in the person's eyes.

"Ah! You are despicable!"

The beam of light blinded the man, and he was punched three times by Su Lie in the blink of an eye. He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and complained bitterly.

It was these words that made Su Lie pause!

He raised his fist, frowning as he scrutinized the man's face.

"Who...who are you?"

Upon hearing Su Lie's words, the man looked up in surprise, and was stunned when he saw his opponent!

"Holy crap, Su Lie, what are you doing here? We all thought you were dead!!"

Zhao Yan got up and tried to grab Su Lie, but Su Lie dodged him.

His eyes were filled with wariness and alienation!

Sui Yuanyuan shone her flashlight on this person, then on that person, and realized, "Oh, we know each other!"

"Who are you?"

With the light shining, Su Lie raised his pistol and aimed it at Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan was startled by his cold gesture and immediately realized that something was wrong.

He dared not make any more rash moves, but he rolled his eyes and raised his hands to report his origins.

"I am your teammate Zhao Yan, from the Special Forces Department, and I am the battalion commander of the 4th Battalion of the Imperial Capital Military Region's War Horse Regiment!"

Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Su Lie's tightly furrowed brows did not relax, but the vigilance in his eyes did ease somewhat.

Without responding to Zhao Yan, Su Lie simply looked at Sui Yuanyuan.

He continued to ask a few more questions after Sui Yuanyuan nodded.

Zhao Yan hadn't lied, so Su Lie put down his pistol.

With his life no longer threatened, Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and resumed his previous nonchalant tone, asking Su Lie where he had been all this time.

They previously reported finding the spy's whereabouts, but then lost contact and couldn't reach him no matter what they did.

"Ahem," Sui Yuanyuan coughed lightly to attract Zhao Yan's attention. "He was injured, very seriously, but he's just starting to feel better these past few days."

Are you Su Lie's friend?

"No," Zhao Yan suddenly denied loudly, glancing sideways at Su Lie. "Commander Su comes from a noble family and keeps to himself; he wouldn't look down on roughnecks like us!"

lie!

Sui Yuanyuan smelled Zhao Yan's barely concealed scent and immediately smiled.

Alright, if you consider yourself Su Lie's friend, then it's fine; at least you won't be his enemy.

"He was poisoned by a neurotoxin and is now experiencing memory loss."

Let me reintroduce myself. I am his half-daughter, and he is the biological mother I found on the street!

Zhao Yan's mouth was agape, as if he could fit a fist inside.

He looked left at Su Lie, then right at Sui Yuanyuan, and scratched his head with difficulty.

Why can I understand each word individually, but not when they're put together?

Su Lie disliked the way Zhao Yan looked at Sui Yuanyuan, and his face, which had finally calmed down, was once again covered with frost.

With a long stride, he stepped between the two.

What are you looking at?

"Look at my daughter again, I'll gouge your eyes out!"

"What are you looking at?"

Zhao Yan retorted subconsciously, and seeing Su Lie's reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ah, this is more like the unapproachable Battalion Commander Su!

Sui Yuanyuan patted Su Lie's arm reassuringly and told him to pack the medicinal herbs. She then briefly recounted their first meeting.

He then told Zhao Yan about Su Lie's injuries. Upon hearing that Su Lie's abdomen had almost been cut open by a sharp blade, a hint of worry flashed in Zhao Yan's eyes.

"What are you doing here so late at night?"

After Zhao Yan finished speaking, Sui Yuanyuan's eyes lit up, and she slapped him on the shoulder.

Yes, Su Lie is currently mentally unstable and has forgotten how to contact the army, but Zhao Yan does.

If I leave the work to him, I won't have to go to the provincial capital!

Thinking this, Sui Yuanyuan dragged Zhao Yan to see the little life in the cave.

Upon hearing about their sinister plans, Zhao Yan's expression instantly turned grim.

"I'll contact my superiors right now and get this person to me!"

Zhao Yan carried the person on his back, memorized Sui Yuanyuan's home address, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Sui Yuanyuan was still a little unaccustomed to how easily the matter was resolved.

He laughed heartily twice, then, carrying the herbs, took Su Lie home to catch up on sleep.

On the way, Su Lie remained silent. When Sui Yuanyuan was almost asleep, he suddenly asked a question in a low voice.

"Daughter, you're sixteen now. Have you thought about what kind of person you want to marry?"

Seeing Sui Yuanyuan, a eunuch, and chatting happily with Zhao Yan today, Su Lie suddenly thought about his own daughter getting married in the future.

As a mother, she needs to be careful early on, otherwise, with her daughter's fierce nature, what if she accidentally kills someone?

It has to be sturdy.

Sui Yuanyuan was in a daze and didn't think things through at all.

She yawned silently and then described the appearance of a boy who had pursued her in her past life.

"He must be 185cm tall, have canine teeth, dimples, be healthy, have a good temper, and be able to cook..."

Su Lie kept Sui Yuanyuan's conditions in mind and did not think that her requirements were too high. In fact, he added several more conditions to his list.

Ideally, one should be an orphan with few relatives, so that one doesn't have to worry about relationships with in-laws later on.

Those who can marry into the family will be given preference!

"Okay, don't worry, Mom will definitely help you find it!"

While Su Lie was speaking, Sui Yuanyuan had already fallen asleep, dreaming of hugging and kissing a huge pile of gold!

The next morning, Sui Yuanyuan went to work again.

Su Lie, wearing a red headscarf, followed several of the neighbor's aunties, carrying baskets as they went up the mountain to pick mushrooms and wood ear fungus.

After the heavy rain, mushrooms and wood ear fungus sprouted from the ground in a rush. Whether stir-fried or dried, they are both delicious dishes.

He thought about how tired his daughter was yesterday, so he decided to make her something nice to eat today.

"Achoo!"

Sui Yuanyuan was making medicinal powder when she suddenly sneezed. She rubbed her itchy nose, wondering who was thinking about her.

"Ah, life is still more comfortable like this."

No one's coming to arrest me today, right? Hahaha!

Zheng Shitou's rheumatism flared up yesterday, and it's even worse today; he can't even get out of bed.

I might as well take a day off.

Sui Yuanyuan could finally let loose, humming a song as she fiddled with the medicinal herbs.

Within ten minutes, four people arrived in a hurry.

They looked at Sui Yuanyuan in the room, their eyes met, and before they could speak, two people came in and carried her out, one on each side.

"Hey? Hey? Who are you? Are you trying to abduct a woman?"
