Under One Person: My comprehension is unmatched.

The third day arrived.

The courtyard of a farmhouse outside the town was full of people. The three Wei sisters had arrived, as had Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong, Xu Xin and Dong Chang.

Even Director Zhu put down his work and stood outside the courtyard.

They all stared nervously at the house and the tightly closed door, remaining silent, but their thoughts were churning.

Zhang Yan, you must succeed! You've sacrificed so much for this, even God won't let you fail.

While everyone was filled with unease.

With a creak, the door opened.

Everyone held their breath and looked in that direction.

Zhang Yan's face was still covered in wounds, making it impossible to recognize his original features. His eyes were filled with exhaustion and dejection.

Did it fail again?

Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.

Wei Shufen walked silently to Zhang Yan and spoke softly.

"It's okay, you've done enough."

Zhang Zhiwei and Wugensheng also came over and patted him on the shoulder, but neither of them said anything.

At this moment, Dong Chang, who was standing a little distance away, asked Xu Xin beside him.

"What would you do if you were in this situation?"

Xu Xin fell silent. He didn't know, he really didn't know, what he should do if he were faced with this situation.

When Director Zhu saw this, his eyes turned fierce.

No more waiting.

We'll spread the news today, and make a huge fuss about it.

As for what happens next, and what the higher-ups think, screw it all.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Zhang Yan knew they had misunderstood.

If he didn't explain soon, something terrible was going to happen, so he quickly spoke up.

"What's wrong with you? I'm fine, and the kids are fine too. They didn't come out because they were asleep."

Wugensheng's hand, which was about to strike, froze in mid-air, then turned into a fist and slammed heavily into Zhang Yan's back.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? And what's with that melancholy look in your eyes?"

"Why didn't you say so earlier? And what's with that melancholy look in your eyes?"

"Is that look melancholy? Or is it weariness? It's definitely weariness."

Zhang Yan pointed to his own eyes and loudly retorted.

Boom!

Zhang Zhiwei also punched him.

"Why isn't the injury on your face healing? Are you trying to play us?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan wiped the blood from his face with his hand, letting out a painful scream, and said...

"It really hurts, I really forgot about this."

Wei Shufen glanced into the room, her chest heaving as she exhaled and said.

"How could it not hurt you to death?"

Seeing the group playfully fighting, the crowd gathered outside burst into laughter.

Xu Xin, with a smile on his face, nudged Dong Chang beside him with his elbow and said.

"If I were him, I would kick the door open, laugh three times, and leave, leaving you only with my back view."

Dong Chang: "..."

Director Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, inwardly cursing himself for being too impulsive.

Just then, a guard ran over and walked up to Director Zhu, saying something.

"Report, Secretary Wang has arrived and is waiting for you in the lobby."

Secretary Wang? The old leader's secretary, what brings him here?

Director Zhu's heart tightened, and he immediately asked.

"Did he say something when he came? Tell me his exact words."

"Yes, he said, 'Please rest assured, Director Zhu, this visit is to commend you.'"

A commendation? Director Zhu was delighted, but then he thought of the current situation and the dead Japanese soldiers.

He thought to himself: Could something major have happened that has changed the situation?

Moreover, this major event is enough to change the attitudes of those important figures.

Thinking of this, he was already quite impatient and took two steps forward to stand in front of the crowd.

"My esteemed heroes, I have some urgent business to attend to, so I will not stay any longer. Please express your gratitude."

After hearing this, everyone said that Director Zhu was too kind and that they should hurry up and attend to their business.

Then everyone watched him leave with the guard.

This time, Zhu and Xu were right; Secretary Wang did indeed bring some major news.

Moreover, this news prompted Zhang Yan to set foot on the northern frontier.

……

The mayor's house was temporarily used as an office by Director Zhu.

In the lobby, Secretary Wang, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, was drinking tea. Looking at Director Zhu, who was panting from running, he smiled and spoke.

"Jiangong, I told you not to rush, but you really hit the jackpot this time."

Director Zhu was extremely anxious, but after catching his breath, he forced a smile and said.

"Secretary Wang, please stop keeping me in suspense. I'm getting so anxious!"

Seeing his anxious expression, Secretary Wang took another sip of tea and said.

“Look, you’re in a rush again. When you’re in a rush, you get carried away, and when you’re carried away, you’re more likely to make mistakes. Your old boss has told you this so many times, but you just won’t change.”

Seeing that Director Zhu was about to speak again, Secretary Wang quickly waved his hand and said...

"Let's get down to business. You know the two factions are fighting fiercely right now, and the old leader isn't having an easy time."

"However, an opportunity arose when a prominent figure in the northern frontier was assassinated by Japanese pirates."

Upon hearing this bombshell news, Director Zhu was taken aback and spoke hesitantly.

"The King of the Northern Frontier?!"

This kid is definitely someone the old leader has his eye on; he has a very keen sense of smell.

Secretary Wang nodded and continued.

“Those big shots were furious after that incident.”

"Just at this critical juncture, you happened to kill a group of wicked Japanese pirates."

"Hehe, now we have something to work with."

At this point, Secretary Wang stood up and patted Director Zhu on the shoulder.

"Jiangong, if you do this well, we can hold our heads high from now on."

But Director Zhu's thoughts were elsewhere at that moment.

Could this be the grand ceremony that righteous man named Zhang Yan was referring to?

Did they get advance notice? That's impossible!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly got up and asked.

"Secretary Wang, when did the incident involving the King of Northern Frontier occur?"

Secretary Wang looked at him with a puzzled expression upon hearing this seemingly nonsensical question, but still answered.

"Four days ago, he was openly killed in a bombing, and that news will probably spread throughout the country soon. As for the things that happened behind the scenes, I won't go into detail."

Four days ago? Wasn't that the time Zhang Yan came to find him?

He's incredibly resourceful; he found out about this news immediately.

Thinking of this, Director Zhu recalled Zhang Yan's many qualities: high skill level, clear objectives, and proficiency in using military equipment.

Could he be one of that important person's men?

The more he thought about it, the more mysterious Zhang Yan seemed.

"Jiangong, Zhu Jiangong, what are you thinking about?"

Faced with Secretary Wang's questioning gaze, he immediately snapped out of his daze and quickly replied.

"It's alright, it's alright, Secretary Wang, just tell me what the next instructions are."

"Next step? The next step is, of course, to make a big fuss!"
