The wealthy military officer spoils his wife excessively

It's poignant yet filled with admiration, especially for the girl, who seems to harbor a touch of longing and fantasy. What a devoted man! The word "love" is spoken every day, romantic heroes utter it constantly, it's on television every day, and it's easily typed online without any responsibility. Countless love stories unfold every day, but in this vast sea of ​​people, how many are truly willing to disregard everything and give their lives for you?

Lu Zheng arrived at the Snow Wolf Commando's temporary command center based on the information given by Gu Huai'an. What he didn't expect was that another person, after learning the news, also managed to find his way here through his own abilities.

That person was Xiao Rong.

As soon as Gu Huai'an returned from surveying the scene, he learned about Lu Zheng's situation. Without saying anything, he simply handed a travel backpack to Lu Zheng.

"I found it in the car. It was torn when the car overturned and fell off the cliff. Take a look at what's inside," Gu Huai'an explained. Without needing to say it explicitly, Lu Zheng had already recognized it as Su Wen's backpack.

She was indeed in that car!

Lu Zheng staggered, not having time to think about Xiao Rong's intentions, and grabbed Gu Huai'an's collar tightly: "Where is she? Is she... dead or alive?"

Gu Huai'an glanced at him and gave a bitter laugh: "I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky—there's no body."

No body found...

This means that Nie Suwen may still be alive, or she may... be completely destroyed.

But both he and Gu Huai'an instinctively felt that Su Wen should still be alive. Judging from various signs, none of the passengers in the car were survivors, but they just had that feeling, perhaps it was a human instinct.

Besides them, there was another person who thought the same thing.

When Xiao Rong saw the backpack that Gu Huai'an had taken, it was indeed the one that Su Wen had carried when she bid them farewell that day. As Gu Huai'an described the situation to them, he suddenly remembered something, frowned, and rushed forward to snatch the backpack from Lu Zheng's hand, quickly and nervously searching through it on the table.

"What are you doing!" Lu Zheng was clearly puzzled by Xiao Rong's actions, and even Gu Huai'an's eyes widened.

Enemies meeting are bound to be furious. Just now, preoccupied with the news of Su Wen, Lu Zheng hadn't had a chance to ask Xiao Rong why she was here. Of course, her presence here at this time was most likely related to the car accident. Therefore, Lu Zheng was even more puzzled. Finding the special forces command center was already quite remarkable; did Xiao Rong also have some important friend in the car?

Xiao Rong remained silent, simply throwing the items out of his backpack one by one in a frantic manner.

"I don't have a phone..." he muttered to himself as he searched.

The backpack was torn when the car overturned, and it's normal for its contents to fall out after falling from such a high cliff. For example, the female corpse covered with Suwen's coat that Lu Zheng saw at the hospital entrance was probably just something the rescue team grabbed from the side to cover her up because the body was incomplete.

Xiao Rong suddenly turned to Gu Huai'an: "I have a way to find her!"

At this moment, no one would think of her anywhere else—referring, of course, to Nie Suwen.

Gu Huai'an was naturally delighted, but a hint of doubt appeared in Lu Zheng's eyes.

But Xiao Rong was too agitated to notice these things: "I installed location tracking software on her phone. Her phone wasn't in her backpack, so it's very likely with her. You can use the tracking app to find the phone's location now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, instead of the expected enthusiastic search using equipment, everyone stared at him with strange and mysterious eyes. Lu Zheng, in particular, had a chilling aura emanating from his dark eyes, as if they held countless sharp blades, ready to tear him apart at any moment.

Gu Huai'an remained silent, shook his head sympathetically, turned around, and walked towards the equipment.

He didn't say anything, but his expression said it all: "Dude, why did you install location tracking software on someone else's girlfriend's phone? Aren't you just asking for a beating?"

Xiao Rong gave her the phone for two reasons: first, he was afraid Su Wen would run away midway and disrupt his plans; second, he was afraid she would defect to Lu Zheng and betray him. That's why he installed this kind of software on her phone so he could monitor her location at any time and prevent any potential problems. He just didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Xiao Rong naturally disdained to explain all this to Lu Zheng, but Lu Zheng's raging anger could no longer be suppressed. He no longer cared about saving people and rushed over like an arrow right under the noses of several special forces soldiers, knocking Xiao Rong to the ground with a punch.

In a split second, Gu Huai'an realized what had happened and turned around to hug Lu Zheng.

Gu Huai'an had served in the special forces for six years and was a first-rate expert in grappling. Lu Zheng was pinned down by him and unable to move, but his eyes were fierce, as if he could devour people. Even with his hands broken, he still kicked Xiao Rong, who was lying on the ground, with resentment.

Two other special forces soldiers reacted quickly and pulled Xiao Rong away, dodging the kick. Xiao Rong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, sprang up from the ground, his eyes gleaming, seemingly ready to spar with him.

Of course, the other two special forces soldiers wouldn't let him succeed.

The two were pulled apart and placed in opposite corners, sitting as far apart as possible. Even so, the air was thick with tension, and their gazes were like knives, each wanting to tear the other to pieces.

Gu Huai'an held Lu Zheng down tightly, his tone a mix of helplessness and teasing: "Brother, if you two really start fighting here, where will the face of the Chinese Army Special Forces be?"

"..."

Neither of them spoke, but the intense battle of their gazes continued silently in the air.

Gu Huai'an chuckled and tossed Lu Zheng to a comrade beside him: "Alright, you two keep staring at each other and see who can kill whom. I'm going to rescue people first."

Upon hearing the words "saving lives," Lu Zheng's rationality returned, and he calmed down, shifting his gaze from Xiao Rong to the instruments.

Xiao Rong spat and turned to ask Gu Huai'an, "So, did you find it?"

Gu Huai'an used the projector to enlarge the topographic map and pointed to one of the red dots, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be here."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than two voices rang out in quick succession: "Holy crap!"

Gu Huai'an was taken aback. He looked at Lu Zheng on the left and Xiao Rong on the right, then chuckled, "Alright, you two are so eager, then my men don't need to go." After saying that, he gave an order to those behind him, "Tell them all to come back. Stop looking, call back."

Xiao Rong and Lu Zheng continued to walk past Gu Huai'an, staring intently at each other.

Gu Huai'an bowed slightly, stepping between the two to avoid being unjustly glared at, and said in a relaxed tone, "I have plenty of equipment here, one set for each of you. But I must remind you, according to the accurate forecast from the military meteorological station, a snowstorm is coming in five hours. When the heavy snow closes the roads, if you're trapped in the mountains, rescuers won't be able to get there immediately. Also, although there is radio communication, the signal may be interrupted at any time in the mountains. If you don't get rescued and end up getting yourself caught, you'd better pray for yourselves."

Lu Zheng and Xiao Rong remained silent, their determination unwavering, and neither of them backed down because of these words.

Gu Huai'an brought out a full set of special forces survival gear for them to change into. One of his men suggested, "Boss, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

How can special forces supplies be lent out? Besides, one of them isn't even part of the People's Liberation Army.

Gu Huai'an said nonchalantly, "As long as they can be saved, I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong." He then looked at Lu Zheng and Xiao Rong and said, "You two have been involved in all sorts of bad things since you were little. This time, I want to see who's more capable." He was clearly in a mood to watch the show.

Lu Zheng didn't care. Without a word, he put on his windbreaker, slung his light pack over his shoulder, and tested the radio. Meanwhile, Xiao Rong had already set off with the locator.

Gu Huai'an watched Xiao Rong'e's retreating figure, then suddenly put a hand on Lu Zheng's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Tell me honestly, was that girl on the mountain that day your woman? Why does Rongzi seem more nervous than you?"

Lu Zheng glanced back at him, and that glance felt like an ice dagger scraping his bones, sending a chill down his spine. He quickly let go of his hand and chuckled, "Just kidding, just kidding."

Lu Zheng also set off. Gu Huai'an raised an eyebrow, and his men, understanding the situation, pulled up the thermal imaging camera's display. On the screen, two dots, one red and one blue, were moving in completely different directions, but their destination was the same.

Gu Huai'an leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, and tapped his legs together, watching with interest. Behind him, his comrade-in-arms broke out in a cold sweat: "Snow Wolf, isn't this a bad idea? The mission we were given is being carried out by two outsiders. What if they mess things up..."

Gu Huai'an smiled and said, "No rush. If something really happens, you can still bring them back."

"But..." Is it really worthwhile to use such expensive equipment to watch two men fight? Sending those "wolves" out won't be a quick and easy way to save someone.

Stealing glances at the snow wolves, they were displaying the same enthusiasm they had during military exercises, eager to see who would emerge victorious—the Red Army or the Blue Army. No wonder even the headquarters commander said, "Our company isn't just snow wolves, it's practically a 'cunning wolf'!"

Lu Zheng wasn't as skilled in search and rescue as a special forces soldier, but he managed to reach the location where the car had plunged off the cliff before the heavy snow blocked the roads. A charred wreckage still lay there, with no sign of life. According to the coordinates, this should be the place. He turned on his flashlight and searched the area thoroughly, but Nie Suwen's phone was nowhere to be found.

He looked up at the towering cliff where the car had plunged, pondered for a moment, and decided to go up there and search the area again.

But when he turned back, he found the path he had come from was covered in snow. The roads in this area were newly dug out during the search and rescue operation, and the snow piled on both sides was loose; a slight gust of wind could easily bury the road again. It was already completely dark. The backpack Gu Huai'an had prepared for him included a tent. Based on his military training, the best course of action now was to pitch the tent and wait there overnight, then try to contact the troops to set off at dawn.
