After work, Lin Chen drove straight to the military family housing area.
Following the room number, he arrived at the 7th floor and knocked on the door.
The door opened to reveal a sweet and pleasant-looking young woman.
Seeing Lin Chen, the woman smiled and said, "You must be Mr. Lin Chen, Sha Kun was just talking about you. Please, co in."
Lin Chen smiled, "You must be sister-in-law, no wonder Sha Kun always complints you. You truly are both beautiful and virtuous."
Many smiles and says, "Don't listen to Sha Kun's nonsense. Please, co inside."
Just as Lin Chen walked in, a little girl approached him, "Hello Uncle Lin, my dad said you co from Huaxia, can you tell the story of Journey to the West?"
Looking at the adorable girl in front of him, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel affectionate and smiled, "Sure, your uncle will tell you the story right away."
Little Sha Li took Lin Chen's hand and led him into the living room. As soon as he entered, Lin Chen was touched by the warmth of Sha Kun's ho.
The entire room was practically a little princess's palace.
Xu Jiayi, Emon, and several others from the foreign team were also in Sha Kun's ho.
Lin Chen couldn't help but admire Sha Kun for being such a good man, to pay so much attention to his daughter's birthday.
Seeing Lin Chen arrive, Sha Kun, who was busy in the kitchen, ca out smiling, "Sha Li, don't be naughty. Uncle just arrived, let him have a cup of tea and rest first."
Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not tired!"
Then Lin Chen sat Sha Li on his lap and began to tell her the story of the Monkey King defeating the White Bone Demon three tis.
Dinner started, and Sha Kun raised his glass with emotion, "Today is our little princess's birthday, first I would like to welco everyone here, and then I want to thank my wife for her dedication to this family over the years. I haven't been a competent father and haven't spent much ti with my little princess. Lastly, I promise, once I finish up with my current work, I will definitely take you to Disney."
Sha Li stood up smiling, ran to Sha Kun and said, "That's not true. You aren't an incompetent father. My dad is the best in the world."
Watching this warm scene, Lin Chen couldn't help but yearn for a family of his own.
At the dining table, everyone was chatting happily.
Through the conversation, it turned out that Emon and Sha Kun had been classmates since military academy and had been good friends for many years.
However, Sha Kun got married early and often teased the single Emon with photos of his wife and daughter.
The two would joke around, but despite the teasing, Emon and Sha Kun had been good friends for over a decade.
They fought on battlefields together and strove side by side.
For his career, Emon gave up having a family.
Similarly, for the sake of his family, Sha Kun also gave up many opportunities for promotion.
"Lin Chen, when are you getting married? We are all looking forward to your wedding candy!" Sha Kun said with a laugh.
Lin Chen laughed awkwardly, "Where do I have the capabilities of big brother Sha Kun, to pursue a virtuous wife like sister-in-law?"
Sha Kun laughed loudly, "Of course, marrying your sister-in-law is the greatest honor of my life, a hundred tis stronger than so people's dreams of becoming a commander."
Emon rolled his eyes at Sha Kun, "Hey, you're saying I graduated the sa year and now I'm a general, but you're still a lieutenant. Don't you feel embarrassed?"
Sha Kun smiled faintly, "What's there to envy? I have a wife and my little princess. I'm very content."
Accompanied by laughter and the banter between Emon and Sha Kun, the dinner was drawing to a close.
Listening to everyone's cheerful laughter and chatter, Lin Chen's previously gloomy mood instantly beca filled with sunshine.
After the dinner, Many and Xu Jiayi cleaned up the dining table, Lin Chen played with Sha Li, while Emon and Sha Kun went to the yard to smoke.
Lin Chen and Sha Li were playing with a toy airplane when accidentally, Sha Li threw it out the window. As Lin Chen went to pick it up, he overheard a conversation between Emon and Sha Kun.
"Sha Kun, this operation is very dangerous. You should back out. If sothing happens to you, what will happen to your sister-in-law and Sha Li?" Emon said solemnly.
"What do you take for? We've fought side by side for so many years. How could I abandon you at a ti like this? Now I've found so clues. If we link them together, we can definitely uncover the secrets of the military departnt."
Just as Lin Chen wanted to continue eavesdropping, Sha Li ca running over: "Uncle, did you pick up the airplane?"
Lin Chen quickly picked up the airplane and headed into the house.
Emon looked at Lin Chen thoughtfully.
After a mont, Emon said to Sha Kun, "This kid Lin Chen is not bad. Why not let him join our operation?"
Sha Kun shook his head: "No, Lin Chen is just over twenty. He's still a kid. How can we involve him in such a dangerous operation?"
Although their voices were low, Lin Chen's keen hearing allowed him to hear their conversation clearly.
Although the dialogue was brief, Lin Chen was certain that they were secretly investigating the military departnt.
Rembering Old Xia's diary, Lin Chen was relieved to conclude that Emon and Sha Kun were probably not participants in that project.
After playing with Sha Li for a while longer, Lin Chen and Xu Jiayi went back ho together.
They parked the car in the villa's garage, and Lin Chen's gaze sharpened: "Jiayi, you stay outside to back up. There are guests in the villa."
"What? Sister Ling is alone at ho; nothing will happen, right?" Xu Jiayi said anxiously.
"You stay in the car and keep the headlights on to attract their attention. Leave the rest to ."
With that, Lin Chen stealthily got out of the car and slipped into the bushes.
Avoiding Xu Jiayi's sight, Lin Chen used the Invisibility Technique and sneaked into the villa through a side window.
Inside the villa, a dozen n in black hid in the darkness.
One of them, looking at the car outside, muttered under his breath, "This bastard, why won't he co in when he's already at the doorstep?"
As the n in black brooded, Lin Chen had already begun his sweep of the villa.
One of the n in black watched the entrance intently, holding a crossbow, ready to shoot Lin Chen the mont he opened the door.
But just then, he suddenly felt an evil wind behind him.
Before he could react, he felt a pain in the back of his neck and collapsed to the ground.
These n had originally planned to use the darkness to ambush Lin Chen, but they never expected that the darkness would instead facilitate Lin Chen's efforts.
With the help of X-ray vision, Lin Chen saw the situation in the house clearly.
After knocking out eight n in black, Lin Chen had reached Wei Ling's bedroom.
Using X-ray vision, Lin Chen saw that Wei Ling was tied up in the bedroom with two n in black watching her.
Lin Chen knocked on the door quietly, and the two n in black were startled and ca to the door.
One of them poked his head out and asked in a low voice, "Who is it? Is there a problem?"
But before he could finish speaking, he felt his neck grabbed by a large hand, and before he could resist, he too was lying on the ground.
The other man in black sensed sothing was wrong and was about to react, but Lin Chen's foot appeared in front of him as fast as lightning, knocking him out as well.
Seeing Lin Chen suddenly appear, Wei Ling's face lit up with joy. Lin Chen quickly untied her ropes and said softly, "Don't make a sound, Sister Ling. I'll deal with the others."
Just then, the walkie-talkie of one of the n in black went off.
