Cooperation is still cooperation. Absolute trust and selfless assistance are impossible. Everyone has co together temporarily for a common goal. It's not surprising if things go wrong afterward, and mutual reservations are reasonable. As long as there's a cooperative attitude, that's enough. Both are smart people, who didn't point out the obvious, and started chatting. After a while, Lan Xue ca out with a cold face. Luo Zheng was taken aback and felt a pang in his heart, knowing that sothing had happened.
Lan Xue walked over and sat down on the sofa. She gave Luo Zheng a look and turned to Xinzi, saying, "Could you please excuse us? We have sothing to discuss. I'm sorry."
"I understand. Secrets, right? You guys chat. If anything cos up, just call my room." Xinzi understandingly went out.
Once Xinzi left, Lan Xue quickly checked the area to ensure nobody was eavesdropping and then swiftly closed the door. Still feeling uneasy, she pulled Luo Zheng into the inner room, his bedroom. Luo Zheng knew sothing was wrong, so he sat upright on the edge of the bed, alard, and asked Lan Xue, "What's happened?"
"Yes, first promise that no matter what you hear, you must remain calm," Lan Xue said worriedly.
"Go on, you know by now, don't you?" Luo Zheng replied seriously.
"Alright." Lan Xue hesitated for a mont but still organized her thoughts before saying sternly, "Your plan concerning Japan has been reported to the organization. My grandfather found out about it, considering the significance of the matter. He happened to be with the chairman and reflected it to him imdiately. The chairman convened a temporary eting, and our plan was rejected."
"What?" Luo Zheng was shocked, almost shouting out loud, staring at Lan Xue dumbfounded. Everyone had been fighting hard outside for the mission, risking lives to complete the task better and reduce casualties, and now it's not allowed. How can we complete this mission?
"Don't be agitated, the country also has its considerations. I hope you can understand." Lan Xue sighed helplessly when she saw Luo Zheng's cold face without saying a word, her heart ached, and she smiled bitterly, "Grandfather guessed you would definitely have strong emotions, told to persuade you well. I refused, you decide what to do, I'll listen to you."
Luo Zheng glanced at Lan Xue, turned and looked coldly out the window. Lan Xue worried Luo Zheng might not be able to figure it out, continued saying, "Let's carry out the original plan. Even if we retreat unscathed and leave no clues in Japan's hands, the fact is we did it. Even if the common people don't know, the Japanese governnt will know, and so will all world leaders. In the future, the country will have a ruthless image in the international community, which is unfavorable to national strategy. Dostic issues aren't about fearing Japan, but needing to consider the overall picture."
"No need to say anymore, I need a mont of silence. Have the brothers stop operations, and quickly assemble." Luo Zheng sighed, sitting motionless on the bed edge, eyes hollowly looking out the window. As a soldier, Luo Zheng obediently follows national commands, even if it ans facing a mountain of knives and sea of fire. He understands the nation's difficulties. Even if Japan is turned upside down, ordinary people might not know, nor would there be any evidence, but the matter would spread among leaders worldwide, indeed unfavorable for the country. But still, how to complete the mission without doing it this way?
Luo Zheng sat motionless, Lan Xue's heart ached, but knew this matter must be resolved on his own. Outside persuasion wouldn't work much, so she gently closed the door and went to assemble the team.
Half an hour passed, and the room remained silent. Luo Zheng hadn't co out, and Lan Xue hesitated to disturb him, just waited. Soon, Ghost Hand and others returned one after another. Lan Xue signaled everyone not to speak, quietly sitting on the sofa until all officers were present, then explained the situation.
Upon hearing, everyone was furious. Finally having a chance to kill the enemy, a single word from above and it's gone. They couldn't understand it but seeing Lan Xue's cold face without speaking, nobody dared to vent it out, suppressing the anger in their hearts, exchanging silent gazes, and the room suddenly beca quiet.
Another half hour passed, Luo Zheng still hadn't co out. Everyone began to worry, concerned Luo Zheng might beco extre, all looked at Lan Xue, indicating she should go in and persuade him. Lan Xue knew Luo Zheng very well, shook her head helplessly, hinting everyone not to go in and disturb. Everyone kept their anger inside, knowing entry would only add fuel to the fire, naturally wouldn't go in, all silently sat.
But after one hour passed, two hours passed, and Luo Zheng still hadn't co out. Everyone beca anxious; discontent aside, once expressed, it's over. Luo Zheng hadn't co out for so long, so everyone worriedly looked at Lan Xue again.
Lan Xue realized sothing was wrong too, hinted everyone to remain calm, gently ca to the door, gently pushed it open, saw Luo Zheng still staring intently out the window, his body unchanged, whole being like an ice sculpture sitting on the bed's edge, emitting a heartbreaking chill. Lan Xue's heart sank, quickly opened the door, went in, gently closed it, walked to Luo Zheng, embraced him, and worriedly said, "Don't think about anything drastic, okay? You look scared, you're scaring ."
Luo Zheng felt Lan Xue's love, warmth surged to his heart, his gaze gradually gained so color, his body ward, softened. Lan Xue gently stroked Luo Zheng's head, using her love to embrace, comfort, and resolve the knot in Luo Zheng's heart, her eyes full of worry, concernedly said, "Don't scare , okay? The brothers are all waiting outside for you. You're like this, everyone feels uncertain. We're soldiers, for the country, defending against invaders, resolving problems, but we can't bring trouble to the country."
"Uh?" Luo Zheng's eyes brightened, gained more color, he woke up completely, reversed to embrace Lan Xue, turning his body, pushing Lan Xue onto the bed, kissed deeply with all his love, like wanting to rge himself with Lan Xue, until his brain lacked oxygen, and breath beca difficult, reluctantly separated.
"Thank you." Luo Zheng said seriously.
"Annoying, you only know how to bully ." Lan Xue blushed and scolded, lightly punching Luo Zheng's chest with her hand, but her heart sweetened, full of happiness. As long as her lover untangled his heart, as long as he was happy, everything was worth it.
"You're right, we're soldiers, we help the country resolve the enemy's provocations, handle troubles, but can't bring trouble to the country. The country denied my plan because of this concern. As soldiers, we obey unconditionally. Oh well, cancelled it shall be, I'll think of another plan." Luo Zheng said seriously.
"It's good you're thinking this way, still not letting go? What if they co in and it's awkward." Lan Xue teased.
"You're my woman, what's there to be afraid of?" Luo Zheng said domineeringly, leaned down again.
Lan Xue agilely freed herself, teased, "There will be opportunities later, better think of a solution first. I won't bother you anymore." Saying that, she quickly tidied her ssy clothes and hair and rushed out of the room.
