Several children were drinking porridge in the private room inside. Cheng Qiao and Li Huan were helping with the work. They went to help solve any problems and felt that time was passing very quickly.
But in a residence on the mountain, Ye Chengying, Ye Dalin and Ye Xiaolin were sitting in the living room with grim expressions. They felt that time was passing very slowly and every minute was torture.
The end of the year is almost here, and the army's commendation meeting has been prepared, waiting for the officers and soldiers to be awarded medals to come on stage, but Ye Chengying's name has been crossed out from the list of medals.
As a result, not only was his path to promotion blocked this time, but perhaps there would be no hope for it in the future. It was not because his opponent was too strong, but because his own ability was limited. Ye Chengying learned from his mistakes and summed them up.
The reason is that the true identity of the man who secretly protected Cheng Qiao was revealed. The spy also had supernatural powers and tried to sneak into the revolutionary team to kill Cheng Qiao and steal his treasure.
Although he died at the hands of Hu Laita and did not cause any harm to Cheng Qiao, this person was assigned by Ye Chengying, and Ye Chengying was soon placed under isolation for investigation.
During the period of quarantine and investigation, Ye Chengying blamed himself every day, blaming himself for being so careless. He clearly went to protect others, but ended up harming and robbing them.
Fortunately, the country’s special department had already secretly investigated Cheng Qiao, and her special abilities have been confirmed. She is a person with special abilities who has inherited medical knowledge. This is a rare species and must be well protected.
Hu Laita is the protector sent by the country's special department. When Ye Chengying sent out the so-called secret protector, he was already ready to take action against this special agent hidden deep in the country.
This incident had a huge impact on the entire army. All leaders quietly started a trend of self-examination, and they not only checked three generations, but even the smallest relationships.
Of course, Ye Chengying’s two sons also had a hard life. They followed in their father’s footsteps and joined the army very early. Since they were Ye Chengying’s sons, they received the same treatment.
Fortunately, the effect was good. Several spies without super powers were indeed caught, as well as some bad guys who were preparing to commit treason. As a result, the atmosphere of the entire army became more sensitive.
After the higher-ups had thoroughly investigated Ye Chengying, they found that the Japanese were indeed hiding too deeply and had superpowers. Ye Chengying was simply unable to contend with such an opponent, so the father and his two sons were finally freed.
Yao Peng looked at Ye Chengying who was obviously haggard, and shook his head: "Success is due to Cheng Qiao, and failure is also due to Cheng Qiao. Since we have lost the opportunity this time, let's wait for the next time."
Ye Chengying felt somewhat helpless. He didn't know when the next opportunity would come. Unless Cheng Qiao made outstanding contributions to the garrison troops under his management, he would remain in this position forever.
"Old leader, you are right. The success is due to Cheng Qiao, but the failure is my own fault. It's my incompetence. I am a soldier. I made such a big mistake, but I was able to return to my post. I am very grateful."
Yao Peng raised his eyelids and took a close look at his favorite subordinate back then. Seeing that there was indeed regret on his face, he nodded with relief.
Having suffered such a huge loss, of course he had to make it up to him. As for how to make it up to him, he looked to Ye Xiaolin.
Ye Xiaolin actually knew what his future path would be. He did not have any special powers, but he had a talent for languages. For him, any language could be mastered by just listening to it twice or speaking it a few more times.
"Ye Xiaolin, I've talked to you about this last time. Are you ready now?"
"Report to the commander, I am ready to go anytime, anywhere."
Ye Xiaolin is ready to infiltrate the enemy and use the same method to deal with these shameless little people, steal their secrets, and contribute to his motherland.
"You can go after the New Year is over."
"yes"
A few people talked about some more critical and important things before they got in the car and went down the mountain under the guidance of the guard. Dalin wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back. It was useless to say anything now.
"Dad, what should we do next?"
"Protect Cheng Qiao as much as possible and support all her decisions, as long as her decisions are beneficial to the country and the people. Also, protect Xiaogui well."
Dalin glanced at Xiaolin. Xiaogui was Xiaolin's only daughter. It would be great if his sister-in-law could give birth to another son for the Ye family. The Ye family was really too few in number.
The car soon stopped in front of Ye Jun's courtyard. The three of them pulled over and entered the courtyard. They saw a large pile of coal in the yard at a glance.
"Cheng Qiao and the others are back."
Only when Cheng Qiao and the others came back would Ye Jun prepare so much coal for heating the kang at night. Ye Jun nodded. He would not tell Ye Chengying that the coal was suddenly conjured up by Cheng Qiao.
"It's over?"
Ye Chengying nodded, glanced at Xiaolin, but said nothing. The fewer people knew about this kind of thing, the more secure Ye Xiaolin's safety would be.
But Ye Jun seemed to have guessed something. He reached in and out of his pocket, and finally took out a small mahogany box and handed it to Ye Xiaolin.
This nephew has had a talent for languages since he was young. Although Ye Chengying didn't say anything, his reluctant look just now betrayed everything. The father made a mistake and the son suffered. He took the blame for his father.
"Thank you, Uncle Jun, quickly."
As soon as Ye Chengying saw the box, he knew what was inside. In fact, he also treasured a resurrection pill, which he originally intended to use to save Xiao Lin's life when he left.
Now it seems that the resurrection pill can be saved, so I am a little excited. Ye Xiaolin certainly knows what this is, and immediately stretched out his hands to take it:
"Thank you, Uncle Jun. The Ye family is blessed to have you."
"It is true that the Ye family has me because of our ancestors' good deeds, but I accept Cheng Qiao as my apprentice. This is the real way to live up to the ancestors of the Ye family."
Ye Chengying nodded repeatedly. He already understood that although the recipe for the Resurrection Pill belonged to the Ye family, it was developed by Cheng Qiao, who was a supernatural being with a medical heritage.
"Brother, I want to marry Xiaogui to Cheng Li, what do you think..."
Ye Chengying glanced at his youngest son. His youngest son loved the little girl Xiaogui the most, so he always wanted to let his son feel at ease to carry out such a dangerous mission.
Ye Jun shook his head. It was not that Cheng Li disliked Xiaogui, but that he liked Wu Xiaolin more. That girl and Cheng Li had shared hardships and happiness together.
Ye Chengying certainly understood the mystery, but he still kept asking, is it true that their Ye family could not take a further step with Cheng Qiao's family
"Xiao Gui seems to have a good relationship with Li Ming."
"Li Ming, but Li Ming's last name is Li."
"Isn't Li Ming Cheng Qiao's biological son? What are you thinking about?"
