A stunning beauty arrived on the island; she invented everything from childcare to babysitting.

"Captain Li?"

Cao Huiyun was somewhat surprised to see who had come.

Compared to her, An Ning was more composed. She nodded to Li Bowen: "Commander Li."

Although I don't know what brought him here, this Cao Huiyun seems to have some connections. Even if she's not afraid, having an acquaintance here will save her from causing trouble.

Li Bowen, standing next to Cao Huiyun, winked at An Ning when she couldn't see him: "Comrade An Ning, you promised to hand over the plane to us after the kids finished playing this year, but you... hey! Is the kid alright?"

At this moment, Cao Huiyun's whole body was stiff.

Her father-in-law was a retired soldier, so she naturally knew what military equipment meant.

What's more, this might be something that's still in the research and development stage. What a mess her son has made!

She said that ordinary people wouldn't have access to such toys; it turns out they're related to military equipment.

Is Shen Anning sick?

Is this something you're giving to children to play with?

"No...it's nothing serious," Cao Huiyun stammered. "It's just a little squabble between kids."

"It's good that nothing serious happened." Li Bowen nodded. "These kids nowadays are just spoiled by their parents. How can we compare our conditions back then? Forget about toys, there wasn't much food, and countless people starved to death. They weren't like this now, so arrogant and extravagant, and they've learned to bully others, to take advantage of their power, to bully the weak, and to gang up on the few. It's like a little society."

Li Bowen's words made Cao Huiyun's face turn even paler.

She works in a government department, so how could she not understand the subtext in these leaders' words?

Although it seems both sides mentioned it, his son also went to find the kid with the helicopter toy with several classmates.

And that bullying behavior—isn't that a direct attack on her?

An Ning found it amusing. Just moments ago, Cao Huiyun had acted all high and mighty, criticizing An Ning's methods of educating her children. Now, after Commander Li adopted her attitude to teach them a lesson, they had become like this.

As expected, professionals should be allowed to handle this.

"Mom, are you going to give the airplane to this grandpa?"

Shen Changle listened to the whole thing from the side, while Xu Pengfei was pulled aside by Zhao Xuemei to ask about the situation.

Li Bowen's kind smile froze when he heard the child's unhappy words. He looked at An Ning and quickly gave her a meaningful look.

This is the daughter of one of his most capable generals. What if she dislikes him? What will he do when his capable general returns?

Moreover, he had previously implicated his subordinate's daughter because of his wife's niece's affair. If he were to lose his daughter's favor now, he didn't even dare to imagine what Song Wenyuan might do.

Li Bowen was originally a very serious person, and this was the first time An Ning had seen another side of him, like a playful old man.

She smiled, glanced at her daughter first, then looked at the other person: "Didn't you say that all you needed was the blueprints? The plane is just for a quick look, and we'll have to return it later."

Shen Changle strained her ears and finally heard the words "return it." She wasn't immediately relieved and still looked at the uncle she had met a few times.

Having spent so much time at school with Xu Pengfei, she has learned some things she had never encountered before.

For example, leaders.

Some things are beyond our control; there are people specifically assigned to manage them.

If this uncle, who is in charge, really wants to take the plane away, there's nothing she and her mother can do even if they don't want to.

Looking into the little girl's watery eyes, Li Bowen felt guilty for the first time. He said somewhat awkwardly, "The problem is, you haven't brought these blueprints over yet, have you? Those old guys are nagging me, so I had to ask you to take the plane over for them to see first."

“It’s already being drawn. I’ll send the drawings to you in a couple of days,” Anning replied.

"Okay then, it's a deal."

Li Bowen agreed readily, which made An Ning feel like she had been tricked.

What on earth is he doing here?

Could they really be after this remote-controlled helicopter?

Are there no remote-controlled airplanes in this day and age?

Shouldn't it?

It's been almost ten years since the atomic bomb was successfully developed, almost sixteen years since space rockets were launched, and almost four years since satellites were launched. Yet, China still hasn't developed drones?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

So Li Bowen came here this time perhaps because he felt guilty about what his niece had done to her before, and he heard that the child involved in this matter had a powerful background, and coincidentally, she and her daughter were also implicated, so he came to see if there was anything he could do to help.

Unexpectedly, Cao Huiyun was so proud that she didn't suffer for it. Not only did she not cause trouble for Zhao Xuemei and her, she also gritted her teeth and gave her the compensation for the damaged plane.

So all I could do was say a few words on her behalf, retorting to the other party's unspoken message without giving them any chance to retaliate.

One is a retired senior cadre, and the other is a regimental commander in his prime. It's obvious who is superior.

Anning's success is logically consistent.

"Since you're all settled here, I'll head up now. I originally came to visit the patient, but then I heard about this and decided to come and check it out."

Li Bowen said a few words and was about to leave, but when he reached the door, he stopped, turned to look at An Ning, and reminded her again: "Comrade An Ning, don't forget about the blueprints. Contact Yan Fei anytime."

peaceful:……

She had just convinced herself, but now she's starting to doubt it again.

If that was really a way for him to save face, why would he need to remind him again before leaving?

Never mind, I'll just go back and copy the previous design and send it to him.

If that's what the other party means, then they will naturally accept it.

If that's not what the other party meant, she would say it was to complete the act and avoid trouble later, which would also be a plausible reason.

With Li Bowen taking the lead, the rest of the process became relatively simple.

Cao Huiyun readily repaid the two hundred yuan and naturally wouldn't seek compensation from anyone else.

Moreover, all the children were there together, and the situation was too chaotic at the time. It was impossible to know which child caused which wound, so there was no way to talk about compensation.

Even if everyone splits the money equally, each household wouldn't receive much, not enough to cause serious harm, and they wouldn't learn their lesson. It would be better to refuse in the first place, which would make her family seem more generous, and others' opinions of her man would also improve.

After the injuries were treated and examined at the hospital, and no major problems were found, Cao Huiyun left with Wu Jianhua, whose face was bruised and swollen.

But she hadn't walked far when she happened to run into an acquaintance—Qiao Shanshan, the niece of Commander Li who had just left.
