"Chuzhou, wake up."

Lin Yunhai went over and shook him tenderly to wake him up.

Chu Zhou groggily opened his eyes, and upon seeing Lin Yunhai, he sat up abruptly and said, "I have already inspected the finished products in the warehouse, and there are two defective products that I have picked out."

Chu Zhou handed the two guns beside him to Lin Yunhai.

Lin Yunhai checked it and found that it had indeed been tampered with, using the same method as the previous explosion.

"Go back and get some rest. You've worked hard."

There were many things he couldn't say, so in the end he could only tell Chu Zhou to go back and rest.

"Okay, I'll head back now. Call me if you need anything."

After Chu Zhou left, Qiu Meizi sighed, "He didn't really need to do that. None of us blame him."

"In fact, this whole thing was caused by us. Qi Yuan wanted to deal with us, but he just used his people."

Qiu Meizi really didn't want Chu Zhou to make things difficult for her.

Lin Yunhai smiled and said, "Let him be. Chu Zhou is a person with a very strong sense of morality. Although this matter has nothing to do with him, he will feel guilty. He wants to make amends in some way, so let him do it. If you don't let him do it, I'm afraid he won't be able to get over it in his heart."

"Let's leave it at that. Anyway, those people have been arrested. Let's hurry up and produce weapons."

Having learned from past mistakes, they kept a closer eye on the products, with someone checking every step of the process and not letting any small detail slip by.

The veteran employees of the arsenal even volunteered to act as quality inspectors, checking the quality of the weapons whenever they had time.

Under everyone's supervision, this batch of orders was finally completed successfully without any further problems.

To celebrate the successful completion of the order, a small celebratory banquet was held.

However, since the goods hadn't been shipped out yet, no one dared to drink to their heart's content, and everyone went back to their dormitories to rest while slightly tipsy.

Under the moonlight, Lin Yunhai and Qiu Meizi walked side by side, step by step, toward the dormitory building.

Qiu Meizi looked up at Lin Yunhai and asked, "Are you planning to personally escort this batch of goods?"

Qiu Meizi knew Lin Yunhai too well; she could guess what he wanted to do without him even having to say a word.

“That’s right, I plan to escort them myself. I don’t trust anyone else. Old Yang’s men will arrive tomorrow. I’ll go to the battlefield with them then, and you can stay here at the factory.”

"You need to be careful. I have a feeling that Qi Yuan won't stop. He definitely has a backup plan. If I'm not around, he might target you."

Qiu Meizi looked up at him, then lowered her head again and said softly, "I understand, I will be careful."

She actually really wanted to go with Lin Yunhai to escort this shipment.

She knew Lin Yunhai too well. Once they got to the battlefield, he definitely wouldn't come back so quickly. He would insist on getting involved, and given the dangers that lay ahead and his disregard for his own life, he would likely get injured.

But she also knew that Lin Yunhai would absolutely not agree to let her go with him.

She can be willful in some things, but there are some things she can't do, because that would only make things difficult for those who care about her.

Seeing her downcast mood, Lin Yunhai knew what she was worried about. He reached out and hugged her, smiling, "What's wrong? Worried about me?"

"Ah."

"Don't worry, I promise you, I will take good care of myself and make sure I come back to see you safe and sound."

“This long journey is fraught with danger, and I really don’t want you to take the risks with me.”

"Besides, things at the factory are also very important. Someone has to stay here. The factory is our life's work, and nobody wants anything to happen to it, right?"

Knowing she was in a bad mood, Lin Yunhai patiently comforted her and explained to her in detail why he did it.

Qiu Meizi wasn't the kind of person to be sentimental. She knew that Lin Yunhai had his reasons for making such arrangements, and she quickly let it go.

"Don't worry, I understand. I'll wait for you to come back here."

“But I can’t go with you. You have to take Xu Bao with you. I don’t trust anyone else, but I trust him.”

Given Xu Bao's personality, he would definitely risk his life to protect Lin Yunhai; only with him by her side could she feel at ease.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll bring Xu Bao along."

The two chatted for a long time under the moonlight before going back to rest.

The next morning, Yang's men arrived. Three of them were acquaintances, including Guan Shan and others who had accompanied him to the Yunnan border last time.

Lin Yunhai was quite pleased to see familiar faces and asked, "Why are you all here too?"

If he remembered correctly, these three should have been his grandfather's soldiers. How did they become Old Yang's men?

Chen Hai replied with a smile, "The commander sent us to protect you, so we came with Commander Yang's soldiers."

"Did Grandpa know I was going?"

Chen Hai smiled and nodded.

The old man knew his grandson's temperament best, so he had arranged everything long ago.

With Guan Shan and the other two by her side, Qiu Meizi felt much more at ease, since she knew their strength all too well.

However, she still gave Xu Bao some instructions.

"Remember this: you must stop your master at crucial moments and prevent him from doing anything impulsive. If he really won't listen, just knock him out and take him away. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens."

Xu Bao was initially worried that he wouldn't be able to handle his master, but now that his master's wife had said those words, he felt much more at ease.

"Don't worry, Master's wife. I will keep a close eye on Master and make sure he doesn't act impulsively. I will also bring Master back safely."

"Okay, you take good care of yourself too, don't get hurt. I hope to see you both come back safe and sound."

"Yes, Master's wife."

Next comes the loading time.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Yunhai coaxed Qiu Meizi again.

As he was leaving, Lin Yunhai smiled at Qiu Meizi and said in a cheeky tone, "I'm about to go on a long trip, don't you have to give me some kind of reward?"

Qiu Meizi was momentarily stunned and asked, "What reward?"

Lin Yunhai leaned closer, smiling, and said, "Give me a kiss."

Qiu Meizi's face immediately turned red.

Especially when she saw everyone looking this way, she was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.

How come you've become so shameless?

Lin Yunhai didn't care about all that. The thought of being away from Qiu Meizi for a long time made him want to get some benefits.

"Just one kiss, I'm leaving soon, and you won't even grant me this little wish?"

Seeing his stubborn yet feigned aggrieved expression, Qiu Meizi couldn't resist him and finally blushed as she kissed his cheek.

"Alright, let's get going, don't waste any time."

Looking at her flushed cheeks, Lin Yunhai kissed her forehead tenderly.

"wait me back."
