ruction materials the company had available. It perfectly blocked off both sides of him, leaving only an opening of about fifty degrees facing outwards. He pulled Lin Meng into this spot. By controll...He crept closer, like a feline, wanting to surprise her. But she was as if already one with him; his usually prized stealth proved useless before her. He was still over a meter away when she smiled and turned her head, saying softly.

"Welcome back."

Her eyes were bright and beautiful, like they came straight out of a painting.

"I made you some food, it's just ready to be served. You should have some."

She put down what she was doing, washed her hands, put on her gloves, and was just about to take the steamer from the pot when he came over.

"I got this!"

The steamer baskets were stacked very high. He was afraid she would hurt herself or tire herself out.

She smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners, and moved aside to let him do it. After all, marriage is about husband following wife and wife following husband, isn't it A good partnership between a man and woman makes work less tiring; a good partnership between spouses is like honey mixed with oil.

He took the steamer down and called to her. “Let’s eat together!”

It's past five thirty in the morning already, she must be hungry by now.

She smiled. “Well, I’ll eat a little something to tide me over first. When the two little ones are up, we’ll have a proper meal together. You eat more, okay Have a good meal and get some rest. You're probably going to be busy today.”

"It's fine." He replied nonchalantly, though he hadn't slept all night. This wasn't a big deal for him, considering he once went a whole week with little to no sleep.

He took soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and other condiments, mixed them together, made two dishes, gave one dish to Lin Meng, and kept the other for himself. At the same time, he pushed the steaming tray towards Lin Meng.

"Eat."

Lin Meng smiled and explained what kind of fillings were in each of the four steamer baskets. After he heard this, he said.

"In a while, let's make some pork and bell pepper dishes, Youyou loves them!"

A father's heart actually aches for his son, but most of the time, fathers maintain their paternal dignity and adhere to the education strategy of "strict fathers and loving mothers." Therefore, they appear stern and harsh towards their children.

Lin Meng knew it in her heart and nodded.

Then, Rong Ling began to talk about Wu Shengnan, mentioning Jiang Chengfeng and the Jiang family's overtures. He also shared his own speculation, which was the "good" one he thought.

"Wu Shengnan's things were packed up neatly, looking very premeditated, and done by someone knowledgeable. Her identity as a special agent was so secret, party M had always wanted to recruit me, so they definitely wouldn't let Wu Shengnan's identity be exposed to everyone. Therefore, we might as well boldly speculate that it was Jiang Yancheng who discovered Wu Shengnan's identity, and then Jiang Yancheng possibly threatened Wu Shengnan about something, leading to party M assassinating Jiang Yancheng. But in the end, the Jiang family was saved, which means there was a possibility of things being exposed. So party M must have acted first to eliminate Wu Shengnan. Judging from Jiang Yancheng's quick dispatch of people to arrest Wu Shengnan, party M's reaction could only be faster than Jiang Yancheng's, not slower. This should indicate that what Jiang Yancheng discovered was indeed a great threat to Wu Shengnan."

Wu Shengnan is a cowardly person who fears death. Suicide is absolutely impossible for her, so he must have been murdered. To make his death look like suicide requires a very professional hand. Besides, I set up surveillance around the villa, making it difficult for anyone to enter unnoticed. Although I deliberately left some blind spots in the surveillance that couldn't be reached, it would be difficult for someone unfamiliar with the surveillance program to know about these blind spots. These blind spots were originally meant for Wu Shengnan, allowing her to make some small moves while facilitating our counter-investigation. Therefore, the only possibility is that Wu Shengnan revealed these blind spots to party M, allowing them to eliminate Wu Shengnan without alerting anyone and erase all traces related to the agent.

Moreover, judging from Wu Shengnan's remaining mobile phone, my guess was confirmed. Her phone, similar to mine, must be a special edition. You broke her phone before, and she bought a new one. My men told me that the broken phone wasn't found in the trash can, so it must have been kept by her. At that time, her new phone was delivered to her door. That old, damaged phone has never been seen again, it must have been secretly disposed of by her. This time, she was made to appear as if she had "committed suicide," and all other sensitive items disappeared, except for the phone. But the police took the phone for testing and found nothing suspicious, which means the phone's contents were replaced. The shell remained the same, but what inside was different.

To achieve such meticulous detail is no easy feat, only m can accomplish it.

If it really is Fang Qian's side, then they must be sacrificing pawns to protect their chariots, abandoning Wu Shengnan and protecting Xu Dayu. At the same time, they also abandoned me. Big Fish is something they fought hard for, it's very important to them, and they will definitely try their best to protect it. Jiang Yichen is a cunning old fox, Jiang Chengfeng is also a fox, the two of them work together to investigate Wu Shengnan, Fang Qian may still not give up, in the end, they will definitely follow Wu Shengnan and expose Big Fish. This is something Fang Qian absolutely doesn't want to see, so——

Rong Ling suddenly smiled. "Little Good, I think, by a twist of fate, this fatal hurdle of mine has probably been resolved just like that!"

Lin Meng's beautiful eyes flickered frequently, weighing back and forth over Rong Ling's speculations. She let out a breath and smiled along with him.

"Well, I think your guess makes sense, it probably is the case. Just, I don't quite understand why m didn't kill Wu Shengnan immediately after you saved the Jiang family, but waited so long"

Rong Ling nodded in approval. "That's what I can't quite figure out either, maybe something happened between Wu Shengnan and Party m"

"I don't know," Lin Meng frowned.

Rong Ling, however, nonchalantly swallowed a dumpling in one gulp and advised, "Just watch first."

Lin Meng also silently followed and picked up a dumpling to eat, but halfway through, he hastily swallowed the unchewed dumpling, asking somewhat anxiously.

"You're saying there's a possibility that Wu Shengnan might have revealed the story about the big fish you already told her"

Rong Ling's hand froze mid-movement, instantly shocked. He hadn't expected Lin Meng to be so alert, figuring this out so quickly. During that nearly hour and a half window, he was most worried about this very scenario. If Wu Shengnan had indeed revealed the information, then he would undoubtedly be in grave danger. Even with Xu Dayu being the priority target, Fang wouldn't hesitate to eliminate him.

If things are really as they seem, m should act swiftly. They should kill Wu Shengnan and simultaneously dispatch troops to eliminate him. As he is still safe and sound, could this mean that Wu Shengnan hasn't informed m about it yet Of course, the worst-case scenario is that m is waiting. Perhaps due to a series of major actions, the tight schedule, and m's side being well-protected, preventing easy access, they are waiting for the right opportunity to eliminate him. Alternatively, once Xu Dayu falls, they will strike!

That would be very troublesome. Once a person is targeted by a country, no matter how capable they are, they will ultimately be unable to escape this predicament in the end.

Rong Ling's heart rose with a surge of emotion. Looking at Lin Meng, there was too much reluctance and heartache. He couldn't die; he still had to protect this little woman for his whole life. If he died, what would happen to this foolish little woman!

With anxiety and restlessness weighing on his heart, he forced a smile and looked at Lin Meng with confidence, comforting her.

"There shouldn't be. Wu Shengnan said that herself, she eavesdropped on it, so she absolutely can't tell anyone else, otherwise, she'll definitely be silenced."

He was startled!

Then, Wu Shengnan's silence, was it because of Jiang Yichen, or because she blew the whistle on this

A tidal wave of emotions surged within him. But his face remained impassive, for he absolutely could not let this woman worry about him.

So, I guess she definitely wouldn't tell anyone about this. Who would risk their life, especially her So, she definitely didn't say anything. And —

He reached out and took her little hand. "I've always been lucky, I wouldn't be this unlucky. Xiaoguai, just relax."

Lin Meng listened and slowly nodded.

"Eat quickly," she beckoned to Rong Ling, but didn't say anything more. Her face was buried low, the light cast a shadow under her eyes, like it wouldn't dissipate.

He knew, however, that his words might not persuade her. She was always so clever; he suspected she had already thought of everything he had. It seemed he needed to contact his superiors as soon as possible.

He gulped down the remaining dumplings in the steamer, one by one, and then stood up.

I'm going to stretch my legs and get energized.

As soon as he said that, she understood. And besides, he had only eaten a whole plate. To rush off to exercise must be because of her worries. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at him, wanting to speak but holding back. He leaned closer and gently touched his forehead against hers, silently comforting her, then turned and walked away.

She pursed her lips, able only to silently pray in her heart.

He entered the training ground and waited a while, confirming there was nothing amiss, before quickly sneaking into the training ground and entering the secret base.

When booting up and making connections, it basically doesn't wait at all; the connection is established right away.

Still, beneath the shimmering black and white screen of "washing sand in waves," came that voice, though slightly aged, still full of spirit.

"You little punk, you finally remembered to get in touch with me. You've got guts!"

"Did you know!" This old man isn't sleeping at night! He seems to be waiting for him on purpose!

Rong Ling was slightly surprised!

“Of course I know, how could I not Your heroic deeds have spread throughout the police department and the military. Everyone's talking about them! You’re quite something, taking on five enemies alone, instantly shooting down three with one bullet each, then killing another in an instant, and even forcing a fifth to commit suicide out of fear. With such prowess, your fame has reached far and wide. How could I possibly not know”

The old man's voice was laced with anger, his words hinting at displeasure. However, Rong Ling knew that if the old man was truly upset, he wouldn't behave this way. Instead, he seemed like a doting elder watching his junior accomplish something grand and then secretly hide it from him, leaving him feeling out of the loop.

"Don't you want me to save people" he asked, his voice light as he blocked her path.

That was followed by a cold snort.

Rong Ling thought to herself that she still had something to ask him, so she shouldn't tease the old man anymore. Therefore, she spoke directly.

You don't want to see the Jiang family die like this, I saved them! What's with your attitude

The old man's face twisted, and he stared straight at the screen. Then, thinking about his own appearance, Rong Ling probably couldn't see it anyway, he snorted unhappily.

"You little brat, don't get ahead of yourself. Breaking the record and going on missions without authorization, you didn't even think about what would happen if you got caught"

“This isn't like you to be so careless, I got this, don't worry about it.”

All the messages reached his ears, if he were to slip up, that old geezer would give him a cold shoulder right away. He couldn't just whimper about it verbally!

"Arrogant!" the old man scolded.

Rong Ling did not retort.

"Unorganized and undocumented!"

Listen and let it be!

Disrespectful!

Just assume this old geezer is jealous!

"Do whatever you please!"

Well, he must be jealous of his skills!

"Nonsense!"

Selective listening!

"Blind!"

What the heck did this old geezer just do!

"I see, for your wife, you would give up your life!"

He was wrong, for his wife, he would go to hell and crawl back to her side. That woman couldn't live without him!

"Why aren't you speaking" the old man snorted angrily.

He acted very obedient. "Uh, listening to your instructions!"

Then it fell silent for a moment before finally asking in a low voice.

"Say, what trouble have you gotten yourself into!" Rong Ling, he shouldn't be this obedient! This is so abnormal, he must have caused a big commotion!

Rong Ling immediately told him what he was worried about at the moment.

Instead of the haphazard scolding he had begun with, the old man gave him three words very quickly and decisively.

"Don't worry!"

These three heavy words, uttered by him, held a strange kind of magic. They instantly calmed people's hearts.

Rong Ling suddenly relaxed.

His head, that of a seasoned agent and a respected superior, commanded trust. When he spoke, his words carried the weight of a guarantee.

"You are not alone in this fight. We can't let you handle something this big all by yourself. You are a hero, one of our most valued members, and your safety is our top priority."

The old man immediately became very serious and told him about the concealed abuse he had hidden, that is, the villa where Wu Shengnan was located. They had secretly taken the highest level of satellite monitoring, and during the normal installation of signal towers and cables by the largest telecommunications company in China nearby, they secretly installed signal interception devices. In this way, the entire villa fell under their surveillance, including all their mobile phone communications.

Wu Shengnan's phone call with Party M tonight has already been controlled by them, including previous ones. It can be confirmed that Wu Shengnan has not yet explained to Party M about revealing Xu Jiad'e to Rong Ling. As for the person who killed Wu Shengnan, it was confirmed when they quietly took Wu Shengnan's belongings and left the villa through a blind spot in the surveillance, then handed the items over to someone else. Deploying satellite surveillance of this high level is not just for show.

"That nanny, leave her be. Just act like you don't know such a person exists. Operation Fishing is basically over. Our top priority now is to keep you safe."

And by leaving one specific individual behind, it will also be convenient for future counter-surveillance of Party X.

A faint warmth flowed through Rong Ling's heart. On the surface, she had always been there for him. That's why, over these years, and even now, he would throw himself into things without hesitation.

Because, it's worth it!

"Head, thank you!"

He followed a good leader, and he always knew it in his heart.

The old man immediately snorted coldly. “Don’t give me that!”

It seems very embarrassed, and also seems unaccustomed.

Rong Ling just chuckled.

"By the way, about Xiao Yi's matter, just pretend you don't know, how about it"

According to what Head said, Xiao Yi sneaked in at night and threatened Wu Shengnan. The top must have known about it! That man is annoying, but he helped him, he can't just watch him suffer.

The other party agreed readily.

"Sure! He was just lucky. Without him, there wouldn't have been Jiang Yichen's whole thing, and we wouldn't have been able to wrap this up so easily. Honestly, you've got great luck!"

He's been through thick and thin his whole life, to be honest, I've never seen anyone so lucky.

“I’ve been racking my brain, trying to figure out the best way for you to exit successfully, but I couldn’t come up with anything perfect. Unexpectedly, while I was doing nothing here, m-side took matters into their own hands. They did it themselves, which is far better than any coincidence or accident we could have orchestrated. They killed them themselves, and they're the only ones who would rush to erase all traces. That leaves you and us completely innocent. It’s perfect! You got incredibly lucky, kid!”

Rong Ling thought for a moment, then smiled.

"Some people say my wife is extremely lucky. I think I'm probably just basking in her good fortune."

Finally, that one couldn't hold it in any longer and let out a deep chuckle, their tone laced with a slight reprimand.

"Hey, cut it out with all the compliments about your wife around me! Makes it seem like I don't get along with her."

"No way! You yourself have praised my wife. How could you possibly not like her!" Rong Ling retorted. "I was just stating the facts. Wasn't I Head, tell me, isn't it true that my wife's appearance lured the big fish in! Isn't it because of my wife that Xiao Yi made his move and all the subsequent events happened! Even when Wu Shengnan's identity was revealed and Lao Jiang's family returned to the fold, wasn't it also due to my wife Didn't she single-handedly help our country retrieve two major military generals!"

By now, if he still doesn't know how highly those two youngsters from the Jiang family regard him, then he's truly wasted his time. Although those father and son have done some shady things, they only ever target him. In today's political landscape, that kind of person is exactly what's needed on top. They are a ray of hope!

As for the Jiang family narrowly escaping an assassination attempt, it likely occurred outside the surveillance of those above. After Wu Shengnan set her plan to kill Jiang Yancheng in motion, she must have had precautions against people sent by Jiang Yancheng to keep an eye on her. Therefore, it's unknown what means she used to contact her superiors, leading to the message not being intercepted. Otherwise, if those above knew about it, they should have found a way to protect the Jiang family long ago and wouldn't have allowed the three of them to become so passive in the end!

The laughter stopped for a few seconds, then even more cheerful laughter followed.

"I've never seen anyone so protective of their wife, especially like this!"

But he didn't deny any of Rong Ling's words!

"What's wrong with me" Rong Ling snorted coldly. "Is what I said not right"

Then it still smiled, when it stopped smiling, the voice over there became serious and formal.

"Alright, I'll credit your wife for this!"

Rong Ling smiled silently. He said this, a medal was always unavoidable. When that little woman took the medal she won, she would definitely be overjoyed. He remembered her bouncing around, his eyes lit up.

Later, the two chatted for a while longer before ending the call. Rong Ling carefully exited the secret room and quietly returned to the ground floor. As he neared the kitchen, his footsteps became natural because he sensed there were more people inside.

Oh, Mama!

It's past six in the morning already. At this time, Auntie Ma usually gets up and starts working in the kitchen. Breakfast for their family of four is generally handled by Auntie Ma. If Auntie Ma is away for some reason, then Auntie Zhen would come over to help temporarily, like when Auntie Ma went on leave a while back to help her daughter with confinement. Now that Auntie Ma is back, Auntie Zhen has returned to being in charge of the bodyguards' meals. There are quite a few bodyguards living in the villa, and they have their own dedicated kitchen. Because there are so many people, Auntie Zhen is usually the head chef, while Auntie Fu helps out.

At Ma was the oldest person in this villa, around the same age as Zun Shu. When she saw Rong Ling enter, At Ma smiled, her face full of kindness.

"You two, you're really exhausting yourselves. With all that time, why not just sleep well instead of staying up late cooking. Next time, don't do this, just wake me up and I'll cook for both of you."

"It's nothing, we're both young." Rong Ling didn't mind.

Then, Mama wouldn't say any more.

Rong Ling's arrogance had gone too far. Although his mother was an elder, she could occasionally admonish him, but she knew better than to say too much.

Rong Ling was watching the two people wrapping dumplings and came over to help, but Lin Meng shooed him away.

"Well, you're so strong, you'd be great at chopping meat, it would definitely be flavorful!"

Only she could command him so freely and without hesitation! And he, obediently.

He pulled her into his arms, trapping her between him and the counter.

"You come cut the meat, then give it to me to chop."

He held her tightly against his chest.

She glared at him, letting out a reproachful "Really" before dropping her gaze and cutting away.

He, too, hung his head and bit her little ear, whispering softly.

"Rest assured, everything is safe and sound."

She was so intelligent, she naturally knew he was briefing her. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so obediently being led around by him like that, cutting meat with such a suggestive posture.

She smiled silently.

He added, "I'll tell you more later."

She hummed softly in her nose.

At a glance, she saw this young couple, close and whispering sweet nothings to each other. She smiled knowingly to herself. Youth is beautiful, isn't it Wonderful!

Later, Rong Ling diligently exerted his strength on chopping the meat. Lin Meng smiled and said that when the two little ones woke up, he would definitely commend him in front of them for his contribution. However, before the two little ones could taste the savory meat personally prepared by their father, Yu Xu took a bite first!

Early in the morning, before the sun even rose, he hurried over in his car. He proved that saying right: the early bird gets the worm!

I'm recommending my friend's excellent article: 《蝕骨沉淪》http://www.xxx/info/394318.html

She was naked, shy and helpless as she received his strength, their lovemaking was passionate and consuming, she blossomed for him, and he promised her a lifetime of devotion.

In fact, it wasn't just their wedding night; she had given him her first time in almost everything. All because he was the man she loved with every fiber of her being, a love that knew no bounds.

On the operating table, feeling that unformed life slowly flowing out of her body, she felt her own life coming to an end step by step.

For three years, over a thousand days and nights, her love for him never stopped, it only grew deeper.

However, upon their reunion, she was a stranger to him; his memory held no trace of her.

She hid in the shadows, secretly gazing at his even more breathtakingly handsome face. Her heart was intoxicated, yet shattered at the same time.

A love that carves into the bone, a sinking and immersion that erodes the soul. Who ultimately controls the rise and fall, and who, in the end, will sinknsure Lin Meng's safety before analyzing anything else.Rong Ling's subordinates also understood their duty.
