While out picking up trash, I was forcefully pushed around by a beautiful female CEO.

"Second sister, brother-in-law is amazing! Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

When Meng Bufan saw Meng Qingyao, he excitedly uttered a complaint, which he took as a greeting to her.

"How soon do you want it to be?"

Meng Qingyao was both amused and exasperated. Lin Feng had only been in the Meng family for a short time, yet he was already getting involved with Meng Bufan and Li Zhiheng. Meng Bufan was even complaining that she hadn't told him sooner.

However, despite saying that, Meng Qingyao was still very happy. Lin Feng's ability to gain the approval of Meng Bufan and Li Zhiheng relieved a lot of the pressure in her heart.

Looking at the three people on the grass who didn't seem like they had just met, Meng Qingyao had an indescribable feeling. She had only met Lin Feng last night, but the two of them had already gotten their marriage certificate today. This made Meng Qingyao feel like she was in a dream.

At the same time, the ordinary scene before her gave Meng Qingyao an indescribable sense of peace.

And so, Meng Qingyao spent most of the afternoon on the football field.

In contrast to Meng Qingyao, the Meng family villa was not so peaceful.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Zuwang received a call from his comrade-in-arms.

"Zu Wang, how's it going? Have you found anything?"

After Li Zuwang finished his call, Meng Yuanhe, Meng Boqu, and the rest of the Meng family looked over anxiously and asked.

Li Zuwang's expression was solemn.

"Zu Wang, stop being so mysterious, what happened?"

Even though Meng Yuanhe was already quite old, he was still getting a little impatient at this moment.

"Dad, I found it. There is indeed a file for someone named Lin Nan in the Southeast Theater Command! However, he doesn't hold the rank of captain!"

Li Zuwang pondered for a moment before speaking.

"What? Not a captain?"

Before Meng Yuanhe could even show his excitement upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Li Zuwang's second half of the sentence dampened his enthusiasm.

"Hmph, what do you think? Dad, Big Brother, I told you this little punk was lying, didn't I? Look at his pathetic appearance, he doesn't look like a captain at all!"

Upon hearing her husband's words, Meng Yun immediately felt smug. If Lin Feng's resume was fake, then she could use that as a starting point to teach Lin Feng a good lesson.

At the same time, she could also take this opportunity to teach Meng Qingyao a lesson. How dare she slap her own daughter in front of her? She had to repay this insult tenfold.

"That damned bastard!"

Once again, Meng Yuanhe's emotions were swayed by his daughter Meng Yun, and he slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"Grandpa, don't get angry right away. Let Uncle finish speaking."

Meng Jingran realized something was wrong, because Li Zuwang's words clearly had a hidden meaning.

If Lin Feng's resume is fake, then Li Zuwang only needs to tell the truth directly; there's no need to reveal half of it.

Meng Boqu also sensed Li Zuwang's unusual behavior, because Li Zuwang's palms were trembling slightly.

"Zu Wang, what time is it and you're still keeping me in suspense? Hurry up and explain things clearly. What exactly is Xiao Lin's identity as you know him to be?"

Meng Boqu spoke, his voice tinged with urgency.

"Brother, why are you so stubborn? He's just a nobody, thinking he's all that just because he served as a soldier for a few years. He should take a good look at himself first, daring to try and fool our Meng family..."

Meng Yun spoke again, her tone sharp and sarcastic.

"Shut up! You idiot, what do you know?"

Before Meng Yun could even finish speaking, Li Zuwang flew into a rage and, with a grim expression, began to berate her.

The entire villa hall fell silent instantly.

Meng Yun's mind went completely blank.

"You...you dare yell at me? Li Zuwang, have you lost your mind? Don't you want to live anymore?"

Meng Yun immediately became furious and rushed over to Li Zuwang, scratching and clawing at him.

Snapped!

A loud slap landed on Meng Yun's face.

The already quiet hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Li Zuwang withdrew his hand, his trembling slightly, and looked at Meng Yun with a gloomy gaze: "I hit you this time to give you a warning! You are Qingyao's aunt, and you will also be Xiaolin's aunt in the future. I don't care what kind of grudges you have with Xiaolin, there is still room for maneuver now. If you really offend Xiaolin to death, it won't be as simple as just this slap!"

"You hit me because of that punk? I... I'll fight you to the death..."

Blinded by rage, Meng Yun was about to make a move when she met Li Zuwang's deep, piercing eyes. Suddenly, she snapped back to reality, clutching her cheek and asking, somewhat timidly, "Li Zuwang, what...what do you mean?"

In all these years of marriage, when has Li Zuwang ever been so domineering in front of me?

Even the stupidest Meng Yun realized something was wrong at this moment.

"call……"

Seeing everyone staring at him, Li Zuwang stopped hiding it. He took a deep breath and said, slowly and deliberately, "Dad, brother, my comrade has found Xiao Lin's file in the system. Xiao Lin isn't a captain, but... a lieutenant colonel!"

hum!

Upon hearing the words "lieutenant colonel" at the end, Meng Yun's body went limp, and she collapsed onto the sofa.

"Wh...what? Lieutenant Colonel?"

Meng Boqu was now also unsettled, looking at Li Zuwang in disbelief, and for a moment thought there was something wrong with his ears.

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel!"

Li Zuwang nodded solemnly, his heart equally unsettled. He knew all too well what a lieutenant colonel in his twenties meant.

"This...how is this possible? How old is Xiaolin? Zuwang, your comrade didn't see wrong, did he?"

Meng Yuanhe was still in shock and his words were somewhat incoherent.

"There's no mistake. My comrade-in-arms has some standing in the Southeast Theater Command. We're sworn brothers, and besides, he would never lie to me about something like this. He even compared the photo on the marriage certificate with the one in the file. Although Xiao Lin has lost a lot of weight now, there's absolutely no mistake—it's the same person!"

Li Zuwang spoke seriously.

After Li Zuwang finished speaking, the hall fell silent once again.

"However, there are some discrepancies."

Seeing that Meng Yuanhe and the others were lost in thought and silent, Li Zuwang spoke up again.

"Where does it not match?"

Meng Yuanhe spoke subconsciously.

"According to my comrade, Xiao Lin's file shows that he is still serving in the military, not retired as you claim. Moreover, my comrade only has access to the most basic information; he doesn't have the authority to access detailed information such as when Xiao Lin joined the army, his family background, and his place of origin."

Li Zuwang said in a deep voice.

"Why is that? How could the war zone records be fake?"

Meng Boqu's words were already very urgent.

"The war zone's records can't be faked! It's definitely Kobayashi! I've been thinking about this for a long time, and there's only one possibility for this to happen..."

Li Zuwang lowered his voice without realizing it, and before he could finish speaking, a figure hurriedly walked into the Meng family villa.

It was Meng Botao, who was in charge of investigating what happened last night.

"Dad, brother, things are getting complicated. This Xiao Lin is probably not as simple as we thought!"

As soon as Meng Botao entered the room, he spoke with a somewhat flustered expression.
