When Cui Xiaowei saw the five children, who looked like lumps of coal, standing in front of him, his heart sank to the bottom.

Jiang Meili's children are all quite young; the oldest is only sixteen, and the youngest is only four years old.

"Mom! You're not kidding, are you? He's the new dad you found for us!"

Looking at the young man in front of him, who was about the same age as him, Yuan Pingfen could hardly believe his eyes and asked in astonishment.

"How can you be so rude? Your mother is married to him now, so he's your father. You need to be obedient from now on, understand? Go and play with your younger brothers."

Jiang Meili noticed that Cui Xiaowei and the other children were very embarrassed, so she waved her hand and told the eldest son, Yuan Pingfen, to take the younger brothers out.

"Xiaowei, don't worry about it. The kids are still young and don't understand things. They'll get used to each other after a while."

Haha, you're already sixteen and still young? I'm not even twenty yet, so am I still young too?

Looking at Jiang Meili's dark face, Cui Xiaowei felt his heart bleed. If he weren't afraid of being arrested and punished, he would never have agreed to Jiang Meili's shameless condition.

A few days later, Jiang Meili, with a smile on her face, took Cui Xiaowei's belongings from the Kaoshantun educated youth settlement. Throughout the whole process, Cui Xiaowei had a bitter face and didn't smile at all.

"Sigh! I hope he can be a down-to-earth person and do things honestly from now on, and stop doing those useless things."

Watching Cui Xiaowei's figure disappear at the village entrance, Zhao Jiefang sighed softly and turned back to the educated youth settlement.

"Xiao Su, we finally got rid of that annoying Jiang Meili. I just don't know if Xiao Changfu will cause any more trouble in the future."

Fortunately, Jiang Meili has only been organizing manpower these past few days and hasn't had time to start any operations yet.

"Let's take it one step at a time. Nobody can say for sure what the future holds."

At first, Su Chen thought that by sending some supplies to Xiao Changfu, he could easily control him and at least prevent him from causing trouble. Now it seems that he was too naive.

However, Huang Lili has been very well-behaved these past two days. Although she still hasn't gone to work in the fields, she hasn't been showing off either.

……

Is Dr. Su here?

That day, Su Chen was sitting in the clinic when suddenly a woman's voice came from outside.

The door opened, and a beautiful figure appeared in Su Chen's line of sight.

"Comrade Xuanyuan, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing that the person who arrived was actually Xuan Yuan Yingxue, Su Chen was taken aback for a moment, then stood up and asked with a smile.

"So this is the place you've always longed for. It's not all that great, huh? Oh well, everyone has their own aspirations. I'm not here to persuade you. I'm here because I need your help with something..."

Xuanyuan Yingxue looked around and finally curled her lip, revealing a disdainful expression.

"Oh! What's wrong? Has someone else gotten sick?"

When Su Chen heard Xuan Yuan Yingxue say that she needed his help, his first thought was that someone was sick and needed his medical attention.

"No, this is a matter for our action team."

Xuanyuan Yingxue's expression became very solemn. After glancing around to make sure no one was watching, she spoke.

"Do you remember what happened to the Fifth Squad of the White Bear Empire a while ago? They suffered a great loss here. Although we were prepared for their retaliation, who knew those guys would actually attack our border outpost..."

Xuanyuan Yingxue recounted the events, and then turned her gaze to Su Chen.

Frowning, Su Chen was a little confused. Such matters should naturally be handled by the military, so why did she come here to find him?

Remembering how he almost lost his life at Li Jinshan's place last time, he didn't want to risk his life again.

"I have no other choice. Our Vermilion Bird Squad suffered heavy casualties last time, and I'm worried that there might be people like the Fifth Squad hiding among the attackers this time."

Just as I expected, I knew you wouldn't come to me with good news. I was about to refuse when I saw Xuanyuan Yingxue take out a very old-looking book from her pocket.

"If you come with me to rescue people, I can lend you this manual to study for a while. This is a secret manual passed down in our Xuanyuan family, which is of great benefit to martial artists."

Seeing the book in Xuan Yuan Yingxue's hand, Su Chen's eyes lit up. Although there had been many rewards these days, the increase in various attributes had been decreasing.

After his strength and physique improved, Su Chen felt like a child with billions in assets, possessing wealth but unable to use it.

"Actually, I'm not after your Xuanyuan family's inherited secret manual. I mainly want to contribute my own strength to the motherland."

"Alright then, I was going to give it to you, but it seems I misunderstood you... I'm just kidding, hurry up and pack up, let's leave right away."

Xuanyuan Yingxue tossed the manual in her hand to Su Chen and then urged him on.

Saving lives is urgent, and Su Chen knew that this matter couldn't be delayed. While packing his things, he quickly put the manual into his backpack.

"Let's go, we'll be back quickly!"

Seeing that Su Chen had packed his things so quickly, Xuan Yuan Yingxue was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and followed Su Chen out of the clinic.

Because Su Chen frequently went out for medical treatment, his departures did not attract much attention.

Following a winding mountain road, the two quickly entered the mountains.

"We'll rest here tonight and set off early tomorrow morning. We expect to arrive around 9 p.m.

Both of them were skilled in martial arts and moved very quickly through the mountains and forests. By 9 p.m., they had already ventured deep into the mountains.

"Our outpost is just ahead, with forty-five soldiers stationed there. We need to be careful."

The two finally reached the border around 9 p.m. the next day.

Hidden in the dense forest, Xuanyuan Yingxue took out a pair of binoculars from her pocket and handed them to Su Chen.

"No, there seems to be no one inside."

After sensing the atmosphere of the outpost, especially seeing that the gate was wide open, Su Chen's face turned solemn.

"What... Let's go take a look!"

Xuanyuan Yingxue's face also turned very ugly. She didn't care about hiding herself anymore and hurriedly came to the gate of the outpost.

His mental energy spread out, covering most of the outpost, and sure enough, he didn't see a single person inside.

The entire outpost was deserted, with some clothes and food scattered haphazardly on the ground, indicating that they had retreated in a very hurried manner.

"It must have been the people from the White Bear Empire who moved them all. Those bastards are absolutely despicable."

Xuanyuan Yingxue kicked the chair next to her into the corner with a forceful kick.

"Comrade Xuanyuan, these are all public property. Damaging public property is wrong. In my opinion, it's a good thing that these people were taken away. At least it proves that the White Bear Empire has no intention of killing them for the time being..."

After looking around, he found no valuable clues. Seeing that Xuanyuan Yingxue was angry, he couldn't help but smile and offer some words of comfort.

"You're right. These people went to so much trouble to get rid of everyone, so they definitely didn't do it to kill them. They shouldn't be in any immediate danger."

"As far as I know, there is a White Bear Empire military base beyond that mountain. I think those soldiers must have been transferred there."
