Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting Chapter 361 - 328: Double Blessings

Upon opening his eyes and seeing the person before him was the team captain, he couldn’t help but frown, "Captain Liao, what are you doing, startling like this!"

"You’re ho, get off quickly! Stop dawdling."

Shan Mingxu imdiately snapped to attention, eyes wide, "H-how did I get ho so fast? I rember..."

A comrade next to him chuckled, "After completing the mission, you kept mumbling about wanting to go ho. Conveniently, your leave got approved. Captain Liao was heading to Beijing, so he just took you along."

Shan Mingxu quickly opened the car window, and sure enough, it was the gate of the Yin Mansion.

Captain Liao handed him a backpack from the luggage rack, "I packed a couple of sets of clothes. Change out of your uniform after you get off, and only wear it again after your leave is over!"

Having not been ho for more than half a year, constantly risking his life on missions, to say he wasn’t excited was a lie!

Shan Mingxu grabbed his luggage, and with a jump, stood up to salute the captain, "Yes, sir!"

Captain Liao glanced at him as he got off the vehicle and muttered, "Little brat."

Shan Mingxu paused before getting off, which made Captain Liao feel inexplicably guilty, thinking he might have heard his words.

"Oh, right, Captain Liao, how long have I been asleep?"

"...Thirty-two hours."

"..." Shan Mingxu cursed under his breath, then waved goodbye to his comrades and the captain on the vehicle, "Bye-bye, I’m going ho now!"

As soon as Shan Mingxu got off the vehicle, the military truck drove away without hesitation.

Yawning, still looking sowhat sleepy, he slung his bag over his shoulder. He intended to change after getting ho.

Yet, in one mont of relaxation, his nerves suddenly tensed up in the next.

He turned his head, only to see that he wasn’t wearing an ordinary uniform, but the "417" combat uniform with a "feline" insignia on the shoulder.

He wasn’t worried about others, but his grandpa was a forr commander. A single glance, and he would likely recognize it!

Even though "417" wasn’t in the typical army configuration, and few knew the aning of the "feline" insignia.

Shan Mingxu frowned, cursing Liao Qilin silently.

No other officer treated his n this way; finishing a mission without even helping him change clothes!

Did Liao Qilin have any sense of secrecy at all?

To return him in a combat uniform like this, was that really appropriate?

Shan Mingxu didn’t enter through the Yin Family gate but found a patch of grass outside the gate, and slipped into it.

He removed the insignia, carefully placed it in his hat, took off his clothes, and changed into his private attire from the bag.

After dressing up, he carefully stuffed the combat uniform along with the army insignia into his bag.

Alone, he dug a hole sneakily, pulled so dead grass over, and buried the bag in the hole, covering it with dirt and grass.

Shan Mingxu was fully engrossed in his task, feeling quite smug about his cleverness.

Unbeknownst to him, from the mont he slipped into that grassy patch, soone had been watching him.

The Yin Mansion was a private residential area. A few hundred ters from the entrance, no outsider vehicles were allowed.

So Su Jin, having gotten out of a cab, walked in by herself.

Spotting soone sneaking into the grass, she felt suspicious and curious, so she cautiously approached.

One look, and she realized it was Shan Minglang.

But she didn’t understand why Shan Minglang was wearing a military uniform?

And that "feline" insignia he took off from his sleeve looked particularly eerie.

COSPLAY?

Or had he snuck out to so masquerade party?

Su Jin thought so, and didn’t interrupt, just quietly watched him as he dug the hole and threw the entire bag in.

Then he filled the hole, covered it with dead grass.

Once finished, Shan Mingxu dusted off his hands, grabbed so dead grass, and used it as a napkin to wipe his hands.

Seeing this, Su Jin pulled out so wet wipes from her own bag.

The sound of the zipper being pulled open gave Shan Mingxu a chill down his spine, and in the next second, he was on full alert, turning to grab Su Jin’s throat—

But Su Jin’s quick reflexes surprised Shan Mingxu for a mont.

She ducked her head, avoiding Shan Mingxu’s hand, and quickly said, "Ming Lang, it’s ."

Shan Mingxu retracted his hand, knitting his brows as he looked at this plainly dressed, yet pretty girl with a student appearance.

It was unusual for Su Jin to wear glasses today, and the unfamiliarity in Shan Mingxu’s eyes puzzled Su Jin.

Her gaze fell on his face, which was several shades darker than Shan Minglang’s...

The facial features bore almost no difference to Shan Minglang.

But upon closer look...she noticed that his expression, the probing intensity in his gaze, starkly contrasted with Shan Minglang’s innocent, harmless deanor.

"Uh...why are you hiding things here? Isn’t that a military uniform?"

Su Jin asked tentatively, having a vague feeling that this person wasn’t the Shan Minglang she knew.

"You saw everything?"

Shan Mingxu squinted, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, his tone rather unfriendly.

Su Jin thought for a mont, then nodded.

"What did you see?"

Shan Mingxu asked again. If it was just the uniform, it might be fine, but if—

"You’re not Ming Lang, are you?"

Su Jin suddenly said.

Shan Mingxu’s brows furrowed slightly, "I’m asking you, what did you see just now?"

Su Jin noticed Shan Mingxu’s voice was filled with hostility, and his sowhat accusatory tone made her feel uncomfortable.

She shrugged her shoulders, "I saw everything."

Shan Mingxu gritted his teeth, "Who told you to spy on us here!"

"Wasn’t it you who didn’t hide well enough?"

Su Jin glanced over at the flat and open area of land.

Shan Mingxu’s brows furrowed even tighter, "Who are you, and why are you here? Do you know Ming Lang?"

"Uh, I am..."

Before Su Jin could finish speaking, a servant hurried over, "Miss Xiao Jin, you’ve finally arrived! The Fourth Young Madam was worried you wouldn’t find your way inside, so she asked to co and et you."

"Oh, alright, thank you."

"Eh..."

The middle-aged servant, after speaking with Su Jin, finally noticed Shan Mingxu, who had his back turned to him. Then Shan Mingxu turned around—

"Ming, Ming Xu Young Master!"

Ming Xu?

Su Jin turned her head to look at this man who shared the sa face as Shan Minglang but had a completely different personality.

At first sight, the military green uniform made the young man look exceptionally handso.

Ming Lang, Ming Xu...

Su Jin vaguely rembered that Shan Minglang had ntioned to her before that he had a brother...

Turns out they’re twin brothers.

Since they are twins, they would be the sa age.

"Ming Xu Young Master is back too, Master and Madam will be overjoyed. By the way, why didn’t Ming Xu Young Master notify the family driver when returning today?"

Shan Mingxu casually ruffled his short, spiky hair, "Alright, enough talking, let’s go inside."

"Oh, sure!"

Even though the servant walked ahead, the three of them were close together, so Shan Mingxu didn’t get another chance to ask Su Jin anything more.

If his family found out about him joining the ’417’ Special Forces, he might never return to the military again.

What troubled him now was that he didn’t know anything about this woman.

If she happened to spill the beans, with his grandparents being as sharp as they were, it would be like piercing the thin paper covering a window.

Worried and anxious, Shan Mingxu felt uneasy, but Su Jin seed unaffected.

Of course, she had her own doubts too, like why did the Shan Family’s Young Master stash his uniform in a bag outside the house...

Was there so unspeakable secret involved?

"Xiao Jin, you’re here!"

Shan Minglang spotted Su Jin from afar and quickly ca over, completely bypassing Shan Mingxu.

Shan Mingxu stood there frozen, feeling a chill all over!

A pair of striking eyebrows knitted tightly!

These two brothers were inseparable since birth and were always on each other’s minds, especially since Ming Xu had been away in the military for more than half a year.

Being ignored by Shan Minglang, this was a first.

Precisely because of this, Ming Xu couldn’t help but take another look at this woman nad Su Jin.

When she saw Ming Lang, she naturally raised her hand and waved at him.

"Why are you only here now! The cook just made so snacks, and the little guys nearly ate them all. Co on, I’ll give you the two pieces I saved for you!"

Saying this, he grabbed Su Jin’s hand and tried to lead her inside. In taking a quick step backward, he bumped his head right into Shan Mingxu, "Who’s blocking this Young Master’s way... uh... brother?!"

Shan Mingxu’s expression was cold, sharp, and nacing.

"Brother! Why are you back? Weren’t you supposed to co in a couple of days?"

Shan Minglang’s eyes lit up as he imdiately released Su Jin and leaped onto Shan Mingxu, embracing his brother fully.

Even though Shan Mingxu had grown much stronger, Shan Minglang, though slender, was still a six-foot-tall young man.

Swooping in like this nearly knocked Shan Mingxu over.

"Brother, I missed you so much! Life in the army must be tough!"

Su Jin witnessed the cold and piercing gaze in Shan Mingxu’s eyes gradually soften and warm up.

He patted Shan Minglang’s back, "Alright, alright, don’t be such a sissy, okay? Let go!"

Though saying that, Shan Mingxu felt happy in his heart. After all, he was his own brother.

No way could he fully ignore him for a woman; surely Ming Lang just didn’t see him a mont ago.

This guy had always been quite oblivious.

"Oh."

Ming Lang responded, releasing Ming Xu, and quickly introduced Su Jin, "Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin, let introduce you, this is my brother. We look exactly alike, uh... he’s a bit tanner now, but we used to look exactly the sa."

Su Jin chuckled lightly, "Yes, we t outside just now."

"Brother, this is Su Jin, our little aunt’s cousin."

"Who?"

Shan Mingxu didn’t quite get it at first.

"My cousin, Su Jin."

At this mont, Su Xiaong was just coming out of the house. The servant had ntioned Su Jin had arrived, but as Xiaong had yet to see her, she ca out to et her.
