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

Xue Man did not return to his unit after his leave, as he claimed; rather, he returned with the task assigned by his company commander to take care of his sister-in-law.

Although he was granted a holiday to go home for the Chinese New Year, the first thing he did upon returning to his unit was to find out about his sister-in-law's situation after she came to the unit.

I was shocked when I found out what I was getting into.

In less than a month, his sister-in-law was terribly bullied in the army.

Besides the fact that they were dressed in rags at the beginning, and that their children were bullied and looked down upon, there were three other instances of blatant targeting.

The first time, he was falsely accused of having an improper relationship with a military leader. If his sister-in-law hadn't stood up for herself and confronted the person spreading the rumor, he didn't even want to think about what would have happened to a woman raising a child alone if the rumor had been proven true.

The second time, it was the same person who spread rumors, who reported his sister-in-law as a spy, causing her to be deliberately locked in the security department's interrogation room for a day.

Isn't this funny?

If his sister-in-law was also a spy, what would have happened if she had watched such confidential information fall into their hands on the ship that day?

Moreover, he still remembers the day his sister-in-law was imprisoned.

When he was suddenly called over by the company commander, he found that the usually calm and collected company commander had lost his composure and had actually abandoned his post.

At the time, he didn't know the reason, and the company commander didn't tell him either.

But now he understands why his company commander reacted so strongly; if it were his wife, he might have reacted even worse than his company commander.

They are both military wives, so why are some kind and generous while others are so wicked?

The outcome of this matter is said to be due to the other party's failure to verify after suspecting it, but he had already framed his sister-in-law once before. If this wasn't intentional, what is it?

And that officer who violated procedure by locking his sister-in-law in the interrogation room for a whole day—the two of them clearly didn't know each other before, and he didn't believe him when he said he did it because he couldn't stand by and watch.

This is the military, where strict discipline and obedience are paramount.

Regardless of their own thoughts, they could only obey orders from their superiors; acting on their own would result in severe punishment.

Who would do something so illegal without personal gain or instructions from superiors?

This matter won't end so easily; he'll find a way to continue investigating.

Then came the third time, when he was framed and had his costume ruined.

If it weren't for his sister-in-law's extensive knowledge of using fingerprints to identify someone who had touched a knife, he might have been framed.

Who would have thought that someone would tear their own stage costume and then frame someone else?

Moreover, the conflict between the two parties was caused by the child, which...

After New Year's Day, he met with his sister-in-law twice, and both times she seemed happy, making it impossible for him to believe that she had been through so much.

After learning about these things, Xue Man felt it was necessary to tell the company commander about it, so he wrote a letter and asked someone to send it over urgently.

When Song Wenyuan received the letter from his subordinate, he didn't think much of it. He just felt that the kid was being a little too clingy.

The paperwork was approved today, and he was allowed to return to his unit. The letter arrived tonight, clearly written as soon as it arrived.

But couldn't you have said what you were going to say before you left?

But after he opened the envelope, the expression on his face gradually disappeared, and he finally clenched his fist.

Of the three things, he only knew about one of them, and he only found out about it because the regimental commander told him.

Despite having met so many times during this period, she didn't reveal a single word, and even hid her emotions very well, as if she hadn't suffered any of those things.

And his daughter.

He originally thought his wife made so many toys for their daughter because she enjoyed making them. But the original purpose was to prevent their daughter from being ostracized or bullied by the children in the military.

Song Wenyuan stood up and then sat down again.

He wanted to go back to see them, he wanted to reveal his identity, and he wanted to tell them that he would protect them from now on.

But he can't.

Last time, he almost caused a major disaster. If his superiors hadn't covered for him, he would have lost the right to protect them.

But he couldn't forgive himself for doing nothing.

Song Wenyuan looked at the ship that was half made from bullet casings on the table, and the book that his wife had sent after she left today.

He had seen many of his comrades make toys such as guns, tanks, and airplanes from bullet casings and mail them home to their children and wives, but at that time he did not think such things were meaningful.

Six years later, when he reunited with his wife and children at the port, he felt an urge to make a boat out of bullet casings and give it to them.

The boat was made in the shape of the ship they said goodbye to, and he wanted to remember that day.

He knew he shouldn't, but after six years of marriage, it wasn't until that moment that he felt his heart flutter.

"Ring ring ring ring!"

The phone rang abruptly.

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Song Wenyuan answered the phone: "Hello, this is Chen Hai."

"It's me," Li Bowen's voice came from the other end of the phone. "You and your men come back right now."

"what?"

Song Wenyuan was startled. Had his superiors found out that Xue Man had written him a letter?

That’s not right!

Xue Man's return was approved by his superiors. It's normal for him to ask his subordinates to help take care of his wife and daughter. There's no reason for him to be recalled.

Could it be...

Just as a bad feeling rose in Song Wenyuan's heart, he heard the voice on the other end of the phone say, "They've crossed the border from the south and killed our civilians and militia. I'm about to board a ship now. You take your men and come back quickly to join the second batch of troops."

"I'm leaving. What about the port?"

"You don't need to worry about the port; someone else will take over. If nothing unexpected happens, your mission will end when this war is over. Then you can do whatever you want; no one will care."

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Song Wenyuan felt a surge of energy in his chest, and his spirits instantly lifted.

The war is over...

Once this war is over, he can go back!

Use your true identity!

"Emergency assembly!" he shouted.

Inside the military base, the piercing alarm blared through the sky, waking many early risers from their dreams. Outside, there were all sorts of footsteps running around.

Anning immediately took Xiaonier next door to inquire about the situation. When she went out, she saw many soldiers who had spent the night in the family area rushing to the camp in a panic.

When they arrived at Zhao Xuemei's room, she was also nervously holding her son and shook her head at them.

Having served the military on the island for so many years, this was the first time she had ever seen such a large-scale operation.
