floor garden. Looking at the ten-meter high third floor, he jumped down immediately. When he reached the second floor, he used one hand to support the windowsill, reducing his downward momentum. Then...Within the entire country, Liu Commander of the Dali Military Region was far from being qualified to be called one of the Five Elders along with the other four.

He can only become one of the five great lords now because he's relying on the Dugu family's reputation and influence.

Okay, I won't say that.

If this continues, Commander Liu is likely to cry — he's only a deputy military rank commander of a small military region. In a sense, his shoulders are relatively "weak," and his abilities seem lackluster. Even if he cried for three days straight, he wouldn't want to get involved in something like a scandal involving the heir of a century-old prominent family suspected of treason.

You can't just not come.

Who made him the leader of the Dali Military Region

Why does he always associate with the Duan family

Since that's the case, Duan family's young master is suspected of leaking top-secret military intelligence. If he doesn't come, who will

If it hadn't been for the news that Duan Shuchang was suspected of leaking top-secret military intelligence, and Liu Commander needed to personally oversee the command center and swiftly take certain actions, it wouldn't have been Gao Changzheng who visited Duan's house in the early hours of the morning, but him instead.

After Gao Changzheng brought Duan Xiangning back to the military district, he immediately reported his work to Commander Liu.

He recounted everything he had heard and seen at the Dang family's place in meticulous detail.

Of course, in the recounting of the story, Gao Changzheng had to mention Ye Shen, the son-in-law of the Duan family.

Who is Ye Shen, and where did the yarn come from Commander Liu was simply too overwhelmed to care.

Even Wang Xu and others who rushed from Beijing to Dali overnight, when they saw him, the focus of their conversation was all about Duan Chuang, top-secret military intelligence, and Duan Xiangning.

A man came to Dali to visit Taishan Lao Ren, but unfortunately he ran into his granddaughter's son-in-law. He was not qualified for Liu Ling to mention him to the distinguished envoys.

So when he saw Wang Xu and Jing Hong, the chief, seeing Ye Shen's stunned expression, hurriedly whispered an explanation.

After the explanation, Commander Liu immediately realized.

He seemed to disregard Ye Shen's background.

If this fellow were just an ordinary person, how could Wang Xu and Director Jing Hong both stare blankly at him after seeing him

"What You're saying his name is Ye Shen and he's Duan Xiangning's husband"

After hearing what Commander Liu said, Jinghong felt even more lost.

Li Nanfang had been involved with Duan Xiangning since their time in Qingshan, a fact that Jing Hong, as his uncle, was very much aware of.

And he did not interfere on his own accord.

First, this is Li Nanfang's personal emotional issue.

Everyone knows that children grow up and become independent, let alone an uncle.

Second, it's because Duan Xiangning's identity is a bit sensitive. After all, she is the eldest granddaughter of the Duan clan of Dali. If Jinghong rashly intervened in this matter and acted like an uncle, pointing fingers, besides causing trouble, what good would it bring

Moreover, Li Nanfang and Duan Xiangning secretly colluded, his fiancée Yue Zitong and wife Hua Yeshen were both indifferent, while Jing Hongming was just a busybody who had nothing better to do.

Ke Jinghong never would have expected that Li Nanshan would appear at the Duan family in Dali at this time, and as Ye Shen.

"What the heck is going on"

How dare he, wearing the identity of Ye Shen, come to the Duan family as a son-in-law while secretly carrying Yue Zitong

"Why, of all times, would Lao Duan put him in this position during such a sensitive period Making him the scapegoat"

Jing Hong's expression on her face had returned to calm, but her mind was racing like electricity, trying to figure out what was going on.

Wang Xu, who was no stranger to what Li Nanting thought in private, could also guess what he was thinking now.

His relationship with Li Nanshan was not as deep as the one between Jing Hong and the two of them.

And more importantly, Wang Xu's arrival at the Duan family as the chief envoy was to handle military matters of great importance, not to investigate some scoundrel. How could he, with Yue Zidong and Huaye Shen, two powerful figures, behind him, disguise himself as Ye Shen and come to the Duan family as a son-in-law

Therefore, Wang Xu merely glanced at Li Nanfang once more before striding forward and bowing respectfully to Lao Duan.

Military etiquette was the only custom of the Dali Duan clan.

It was clear that Wang Xu and the others represented the state. Elder Duan, also stood up from his position on the Grand Master's chair and slowly waved his hand in return.

The ceremony is over.

Just as Wang Xugang was about to speak, there was a snap.

He instinctively looked over and saw Li Nanshan gnawing on a pork chop.

Yes.

Wang Xu admitted that because of the incident at the Red Bean Prison in Macau, he admired and even appreciated Li Nanshan.

This guy is also the nephew of Jing Hongming, a darling of the gray forces of the world. At the right time, even Wang Xu would lower himself to make connections with him.

Everyone wants to make more connections with capable younger generations, which is perfectly normal.

But this doesn't mean Wang Xuzheng was worried about national affairs. When he prepared to negotiate with Lao Duan in a serious and solemn manner, he allowed Li Nanfang to behave disrespectfully and eat noisily by his side, interfering with his serious discussion.

Even though Wang Xu admired Li Nanshan in his heart, when facing Jing Hongming, he was furious and shouted fiercely: "Li, Ye Shen, get out of here!"

He was about to shout Li Nanshan's name, but the words turned into Ye Shen at the last moment.

Only a big shot like Wang Xu could react this quickly.

He could promptly change his address to Li Nanshan. Besides not understanding why this guy was called Ye Shen, he also didn't feel like getting involved in the Duan family's private affairs.

Wang Xucai didn't believe that the Duan family wouldn't know that Ye Shen was Li Nanfang, and that he had connections with Yue Zizhong, Hua Yeshen, Jing Hongming—all powerful figures.

Then, since the Duan family knew all this, why did they still call him Ye Shen

The water here is incredibly deep.

Wang Xu, who was in a terrible mess because of the leaked top-secret military intelligence, had no mood to get involved. That's why when he first spoke, he immediately changed his address.

"What"

Li Nanfang, who was concentrating on dealing with a plate of braised pork ribs, strangely raised his head and looked at Wang Xu, frowning and asking: "Why do you want me to go out"

Before Wang Xu could speak, he continued, "I know you're here on urgent business. But even a matter as serious as the sky falling doesn't compare to the importance of filling one's stomach, does it If a person starves to death, what else can they do"

Wang Xuke never expected Li Nanfang to speak to him like this. He was instantly angered, and with a sudden burst of fury, he pointed his finger at Li Nanfang's nose: "You—"

Lao Duan spoke, his voice soft and a little cold: "Wang Xu, why can't you just say what you want"

Because of his profession, Wang Xu had visited Dali several times before and visited Mr. Duan.

But before, whether it was business or private matters, Old Duan always called him Xiao Wang.

This isn't just an old man relying on his age to get ahead, it's --- relying on his age to get ahead.

After all, regardless of age or seniority, including status, it's reasonable for Mr. Duan to call Wang Xuyi "Little Wang."

Now, Old Duan calls him by his official title.

The voice was still a little cold.

Obviously, the old man was very dissatisfied with Wang Xu's behavior of arbitrarily driving away Li Nanfang.

Well, I suppose so.

At the Duan family, before Old Master Duan, Wang Xu dared to scold his grandson-in-law and tell him to get out. Who would be happy if this happened on them

Moreover, Wang Xu's attitude also demonstrates the military's stance.

They couldn't believe it. Duan Xiangning, a suspect in leaking classified military information It turned out the leaked document was just a fake.

Their goal remains the same, Duan Chuangwang.

Duan Shuhou is the future of the Duan family, and he's also something that no one can touch, a reverse scale. Therefore, when Old Duan saw Wang Xu's attitude towards Li Nanfang, he immediately understood what this meant and became somewhat angry: "Wang Xu, Ye Shen is actually right. Even if the sky falls, people still need to eat when their stomachs are rumbling."

Wang Xu wasn't the kind of person who was easily fooled. From Lao Duan's attitude, and his consecutive calls of "Wang Xu," he immediately realized that in his anxiety over military affairs, he had made a fatal mistake—in his anger, he had exposed the military's true attitude towards the Duan family in this matter.

This, indeed, is a great mistake.

After an urgent meeting held late into the night with several high-ranking military officials, the final decision reached was a stark contrast: "No matter what happens, we must ensure that the Dali Duan family remains safe and unharmed before the live-fire drills begin, and for a considerable period afterward."

In other words: Even if the Duan family has to pay a heavy price for this, in order to ensure stability on the border, this matter must be done carefully and gradually, absolutely not rashly.

Mr. Duan is a cunning old fox, with extraordinary insight into human nature. He immediately saw something from Wang Xu's attitude towards Li Nanfang and clearly expressed his dissatisfaction.

In front of Lao Dang's stern gaze, Wang Xu, whose shoulders were considerably broader than Liu Commander's, felt a similar unease.

I dare not take responsibility for the low-level mistakes he made because of his recklessness, and the resulting negative consequences.

Cold sweat sprang out from Wang Xu's forehead, and he stammered, "Duan, Old Duan. Please forgive me—"

Old Duan waved his hand, interrupting him. "I'm not blaming you. Sit down and let's talk while we eat."

Du Lao said he wasn't blaming Wang Xu. He was subtly telling him, "You aren't worthy of my anger. What makes me angry are the people who sent you here."

"Yes."

Wang Xu didn't dare to utter a single word of refusal. He could only hastily agree and obediently sat down.

"Please sit down."

As Lao Duan spoke to a few others, his gaze swept across Jing Hongming's face.

Actually, after Wang Xu and the others came in, Old Duan was most concerned about Jing Hongming.

When Jing Hong saw Li Nanfang, she was clearly stunned. But she quickly recovered and didn't even glance at him, which made Lao Duan secretly nod in approval.

The true reason Jing Hongming has been able to serve as director of the highest guard bureau for over twenty years is that he always remains calm and composed.

As for Jing Hong's expression after thanking Mr. Duan, whether her mood was as calm as her face, that remains unknown.

Wang Xu dared to say that this was the most un-grounded meal he had ever eaten in his life.

He didn't notice there were several plates on the table, what kind of dishes they were, or how they tasted.

He only felt ashamed of his lack of composure just now.

Just as he swallowed a walnut without chewing it, the corner of his eye caught sight of Jing Hong using the cover of her soup bowl to quickly write four characters on the table with her finger dipped in tea.

Concern then milk.

Yes.

Wang Xu's performance today was below par because he was too preoccupied with the issue of military intelligence leaks.

Jinhong Ming reminded him that there were also reasons why she didn't want him to have an opinion about Li Nanshan because of this.

When Wang Xu saw these four characters, he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, and suddenly everything became clear.

He gently bumped Jing Hongming's leg with his knee. Wang Xu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and expressed his gratitude.

Next time he ate, Wang Xu had completely calmed down and even managed to taste watermelon in the cucumber.

After about ten minutes, as Lao Duan put down his chopsticks, everyone else also stopped working.

People with good eyesight will notice that before Lao Duan put down his chopsticks, Li Nanfang, who was eating voraciously even more ferociously than a pig, had just finished his meal.

When Duan Fu had taken the dishes away and brought tea again, Old Duan looked at Wang Xu and asked gently, "Xiao Wang, are you full"
