Xu Bao wasn't very bright; after hearing so much, he could only sigh, "Director Qiu is really amazing."

"By the way, was the Gatling gun taken by Commander Hu and his men?"

When the matter was brought up, Xu Bao said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Master. I just wanted to show off your skills, so I couldn't help but flaunt it a bit, and then Commander Hu took the gun away."

"It's impossible to get the gun back, but I can compensate you. Please don't be angry with me anymore, okay?"

Xu Bao didn't have the courage to ask the military for weapons, so he could only think of using money to solve the problem.

"What are you thinking? That weapon was originally designed for military use. Now that Commander Hu has taken it, let's just consider it a gift to them."

"Moreover, Commander Hu has also done business with me. He has ordered a large number of Gatling guns from me, and the arsenal will have to produce these weapons for the next few months."

They turned misfortune into blessing this time, killing Manusa's right-hand man Jinsha and making contact with the military, making it a relatively successful trip.

Seeing that he didn't blame him, Xu Bao breathed a sigh of relief and said smugly, "So, I did do a good deed, didn't I?"

You can't praise Xu Bao; he's easily taken advantage of you.

Lin Yunhai didn't bother to say anything more to him and directly inquired about Guan Shan and the others' situation.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that everyone was alright and had returned alive.

Apart from him and Qiu Meizi being rather unlucky, everyone else escaped unscathed from this mission.

Qiu Meizi didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day.

At that time, Lin Yunhai was researching how to modify the Gatling gun to make it more powerful and easier to carry.

Upon hearing Qiu Meizi's voice, he rushed over and asked anxiously, "Meizi, you're awake! How are you feeling?"

Qiu Meizi felt great.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Yunhai's concerned face, and her mood improved.

"I'm fine, how are you?"

With Lin Yunhai's help, Qiu Meizi sat up.

She must have slept too long; she felt weak and powerless.

"Don't worry, I'm fine now. I woke up yesterday."

After saying that, Lin Yunhai held Qiu Meizi's hands and said seriously, "No matter what happens next time, your primary goal is to protect yourself. Your life is more important than anything else, understand?"

"If something like this happens again, don't worry about me. Just take care of yourself. All I want is for you to live well."

Looking into his earnest eyes, Qiu Meizi wanted to say something, but couldn't bring herself to say it. In the end, she could only nod and say, "Okay."

Many things are beyond our control.

She can agree to Lin Yunhai's request now, but when it really comes to that, she doesn't know what she will do.

It's impossible for a person to live each day with perfect clarity and understanding. There are some things that the body cannot control through emotions.

Looking down at her hands, which were being held tightly by Lin Yunhai, Qiu Meizi's heart raced and her face flushed.

They seemed to have never been so close before, and for a moment, she found it hard to accept.

"You didn't take what I said to heart at all."

Looking at her expression, Lin Yunhai knew that what he said had gone in one ear and out the other, so he couldn't help but affectionately flick her forehead.

Then, he said seriously, "Everything I said before I lost consciousness came from the bottom of my heart. I really like you, do you understand?"

He didn't want Qiu Meizi to misunderstand or be unhappy, so some things had to be made clear and explicit.

Especially when it comes to matters of the heart, if things aren't made clear, it's easy for outsiders to take advantage of them. He didn't want Qiu Meizi to always have a thorn in her side, thinking that they were together because of his delirious ramblings when he was unconscious.

Qiu Meizi never expected that Lin Yunhai would bring up this matter again after he regained consciousness.

She looked up at Lin Yunhai, her face full of surprise.

"Don't be surprised. I'm a man and I should be responsible for my feelings. I wasn't thinking clearly when I confessed to you before, so I should give you an explanation now that I'm sober."

"Miko, let's be together. Do you really like me?"

Qiu Meizi was shocked by his remarks for a long time before nodding slightly.

"I like it, I really like it."

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Lin Yunhai was overjoyed and couldn't help but hug the person in his arms.

"Miko, it might be tough being with me because I have a lot to do, but I promise I'll love you forever. Whenever I have time, I'll be with you and I'll never let you be lonely."

He had never thought about finding a girlfriend, let alone getting married.

Because those of them don't have any other time for girls.

If you can't bring happiness to a girl, the best way is to not get involved.

He had fallen for Qiu Meizi in both lifetimes, and he didn't want to let go, but he also hoped that Qiu Meizi could understand him.

“Miko, I truly want to be with you, but the country is unstable, and my love for you is destined to be divided in half. I will not force you to be with me; you have the right to choose.”

His love was not a shackle; he didn't want to confine Qiu Meizi.

He didn't say anything romantic, but Qiu Meizi was so moved that her eyes even reddened.

"I believe we can stand together through thick and thin because we share the same goal."

Love in turbulent times is not about seeking stability.

As long as two hearts are closely connected, even endless waiting is happiness, and she is happy to accept it.

After they talked things out, they were officially together.

Having found a girlfriend, Lin Yunhai was in high spirits and full of energy.

Even someone as simple-minded as Xu Bao noticed that something was wrong with him.

"Changping, do you think Master has been acting strange these past few days? He seems too happy. Is it because he landed a big order?"

Looking at his innocent and bewildered eyes, Chang Ping explained, "That's because you have a new master's wife. Your master is in high spirits when he has a happy occasion."

Xu Bao's eyes lit up immediately, and he exclaimed excitedly, "So, Master and Factory Director Qiu are together?"

"That should be it. You don't need to call him Factory Director Qiu anymore. You can just call him Master's Wife."

"Good, Master has finally gotten what he wanted."

Xu Bao clapped his hands excitedly, genuinely happy for Lin Yunhai.

They didn't stay in Yunnan for long; once Qiu Meizi recovered, they rushed back.

Guan Shan and the others had already completed their mission, so they did not return with them.

After traveling for several days and nights, they finally returned to the arsenal.

Back in familiar territory, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their bodies relaxed, and they felt a sense of happiness, like they were back home.

"Master Lin, Factory Manager, you're both back. Was your journey safe? Were you injured?"

Wang An couldn't wait to step forward and ask.
