With a friendly smile, Mingzhe took a few steps closer to Leng Yulin and said, “It turns out that you are the eldest brother of Leng Yuhe. I’m sorry that I didn’t recognize you just now. Would you please tell me why you came here today?”

Leng Yulin kept a gentle expression. “I came here to resolve the issue that Su Ruoqing was slandered by newspapers.” He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said, “I had thought that people would gradually lose interest in this fake news, but I didn’t expect the situation to get worse. These are the names and addresses of the newspapers that published the news.”

Mingzhu took the paper from Leng Yulin ahead of Mingzhe. “Did you give this to us to help us find the person behind the scenes?”

Leng Yulin pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, “What you said is partly true. In fact, I want to go with you.”

Within the suburban villa.

Leng Yuhe had been in low spirits for a dew days. He couldn’t know the truth without contacting Su Ruoqing. Besides, if the misunderstanding between them deepened, he couldn’t bear to undertake the severe consequences.

Bai Chongxiu brought him a cup of hot tea and said, “No matter what happened between you and your fiancée, I think you should know how to weigh the pros and cons. You should remember what happened in the past.”

Leng Yuhe seemed to have not heard what he said.

Since his childhood, Bai Chongxiu had always been respected and admired by others. However, Leng Yuhe ignored and denied him once and again, which made him feel angry, but he knew this was not the best time to turn against Leng Yuhe.

Suppressing his dissatisfaction, Bai Chongxiu slowly put the teacup on the table in front of him.

“You have no right to interfere in my personal relationship with my fiancée.” Leng Yuhe picked up the teacup and took a sip.

“Moreover, as a General, I have participated in all kinds of wars. Therefore, my ability of weighing the pros and cons must be better than yours.”

Leng Yuhe put down the teacup and then put on the same expression as before. “The tea is good, but it’s a pity that it was not made with good skills. It seems that no matter how good a thing is, it will lose its value if it’s not treated in the right way. Mr. Bai, am I right?”

The irony in Leng Yuhe’s words was too obvious, and Bai Chongxiu couldn’t keep calm anymore. He frowned slightly.

“Of course what you said is reasonable. But even if the skill of making tea is not satisfactory, good tea is better than bad ones.” Then he picked up the teacup on the table and said, “If you don’t like it, I’ll have someone bring you another one.”

Since Leng Yuhe didn’t have the intention of arguing with him, he took a military map from the table and began to look at it carefully.

After Leng Yuhe left for a while, Bai Chongxiu threw the teacup heavily on the ground. The fine white porcelain was broken into pieces, but he smiled contentedly.

“Mr. Bai, a group of people have been sneaking around our villa for several days. Do we need to send someone to investigate them?”

President Bai had arranged some cronies in the army for Bai Chongxiu. These people would inform him of any news instead of telling Leng Yuhe.

Bai Chongxiu listened to his report and was worried that those people had been sent here by Shen Nan. If he didn’t solve this problem as soon as possible, he might be in great trouble.

“Bring some more people to catch them back. Remember to catch them alive. Don’t kill them.” Bai Chongxiu was not a soft-hearted man, but if he caught those people, he could know their background. Besides, if they were indeed sent here by Shen Nan, he could make use of them to facilitate his future negotiations with Shen Nan.

It took only half a day for the soldiers to bring those people back.

“Mr. Bai, I’ve brought those people back as you asked. But one of them said he was your…” The soldiers stopped talking, which made Bai Chongxiu become more interested.

“I’d like to see what they have to do with me.” However, Bai Chongxiu was shocked when he strode to the place where those people were held.

“Peiya, how could it be you? What are you doing here?” Bai Chongxiu was familiar with the person in front of him. He had been living with his sister for more than a decade. Therefore, even if she was in a man’s outfit at this moment, he still recognized her.

Thinking that Bai Peiya had come so close to the front, Bai Chongxiu was afraid and angry. After letting the soldiers untie them, he immediately put on a serious expression, as if he was going to criticize a child.

“Why did you come here? Who asked you to come?” Bai Chongxiu spoiled his only sister very much, and even though he was angry now, he didn’t have the heart to raise his voice.

Bai Peiya put her hands around Bai Chongxiu’s arm and said, “Bro, I know you’re worried about me. But why did you get angry so quickly?”

She took a blank note out of her coat’s pocket. “I didn’t sneak out regardless of my own safety. Our father gave me a task to come here. This is what he asked me to give you.”

Bai Chongxiu had long known that his father, the supreme president, had always put his power and status first. His family and family ties were only accessories to his pursuit of fame and fortune. Everyone around him would be prepared to sacrifice for him and be used by him at any time.

Looking at the noble and beautiful Bai Peiya, Bai Chongxiu couldn’t help but think of his other sister, who was also so elegant and pretty, but she had long been the victim of his father’s pursuit of power and profits.

Thinking of these, he felt sorrier for his only sister left.

“The situation here is dangerous and complicated. Our father shouldn’t let you come over.” Bai Chongxiu had resentment towards his father, but he couldn’t show it. His face darkened out of great anger.

Bai Peiya knew that his brother was worried about her. “Father sent his bodyguards to protect me. Besides, nothing has happened to me until now. Since father chose me to deliver this news, it must be a matter of great importance, and he couldn’t trust others easily.”

Bai Chongxiu listened to his sister’s words and then his expression softened a little bit. “Peiya, follow me. The others will join the current patrol team to protect the safety of our temporary camp.”

He took Bai Peiya to his room and looked around. After confirming that on one was around, he closed the door, walked inside and opened a locked cabinet.

“Bro, what is this?” Looking at the glass bottle Bai Chongxiu was holding in his hand, Bai Peiya was somewhat curious, for she had never seen anything like this.

“This is the secret potion that can let you see the handwriting on the white paper you brought here. Our father specifically ordered me to bring this portion before my departure.”

He sprinkled the potion gently onto the paper, and after a moment, the handwriting could be seen clearly.

“The power behind Province S is the high-ranking officials of Country Y. You must not take action impulsively. All of your actions are subject to Leng Yuhe’s arrangements, and you should stop trying to make a name in the army for the time being.”

After reading all the words, Bai Chongxiu had a somewhat complicated mood. It was very easy to deal with the small Province S, but if the war was related to Country Y, it would be a totally different situation.

Moreover, before he came to the front this time, his father had personally told him that he must take the initiative to make a name in the army, so that he could lay the foundation for inheriting his father’s position in the future. But President Bai changed his mind, and Bai Chongxiu couldn’t understand it.

“Brother, our father specifically told me that we can’t mention anything on the note to outsiders.” Bai Peiya put on a serious expression, reminding Bai Chongxiu.

Striking a lighter to burn the note, Bai Peiya continued, “Apart from you and me, everyone is an outsider.”

After Bai Chongxiu listened to her words, he was even more confused. If he didn’t tell Leng Yuhe about the news, it was likely that they would miss the best opportunity to attack the enemies. Why didn’t his father let him tell Leng Yuhe? Frowning, he fell silent for a long time.

“Bro, this is not the time for you to be stunned. Hurry up and bring some of your subordinates out to meet them.”

“Who shall we meet?”

Bai Peiya smiled and said, “The reinforcements that you’ve been thinking about all day have arrived.”

As she said it, the two of them heard the sound of marching from far to near. Bai Chongxiu hurriedly led some people out to meet them, and Leng Yuhe also went out to check the situation after hearing the sound.

“General Leng, Mr. Bai, we have brought the most outstanding soldiers and a lot of weapons and supplies. After having a good rest, we can attack the enemies with our full strength.”

Leng Yuhe nodded and then went to check the deployment of weapons and the battle plan. Now that the war was imminent, he could only force himself to forget his things with Su Ruoqing and concentrate on fighting the enemies.

…

On the other side, Leng Yulin had already brought Mingzhu and Mingzhe to the first newspaper that published the news.

Mingzhu was a little distressed. “If we just go in like this, it’s probably impossible for them to tell us what we want to know.”

“If we came here ourselves, of course it would be impossible. But now that Mr. Leng is with us, it would be a different matter.” Mingzhe nodded to Leng Yulin and patted Mingzhu’s head.

Leng Yulin didn’t say anything. He pushed open the door of the newspaper while saying, “Please wait here for me. I’ll be back within a few minutes.”

The two of them waited in place, and it took only half a quarter of an hour for Leng Yulin to come out.

“I’ve already made proper arrangements. Next time, when someone provides any material for news reports, someone will come to remind us.”

“Wow, that’s great. You’ve got things done in such a short time.” Mingzhu clapped her hands and praised Leng Yulin’s high efficiency.

Standing beside them, Mingzhe didn’t say a word. He thought that if he had a family background like Leng Yulin, he would be even more powerful than him.

“Things are not going well now. We must ensure that we have our subordinates in every newspaper,” Leng YuLin said modestly and left for the next destination.

Until sunset, he had made arrangements in every newspaper. “I’ve done everything I can. Please continue to investigate and find out the person behind the scenes as soon as possible. In that case, everyone will lead a better life.” After saying that, Leng Yulin called the driver to take him home.

Sitting in the car, Leng Yulin smiled helplessly. No wonder that his mother always liked to fight for power and profits for him. It would be very difficult to finish today’s task if he didn’t have a good family background.

“Bro, do you think we will succeed?” Mingzhu stared at the car that was already far away, and she looked disappointed.

“Don’t worry. We will know the culprit sooner or later.” Mingzhe had already been sure that the person behind the scenes was Su Zhiyou, but he had great difficulty in finding her or any evidence. But now, it was easier to find Su Zhiyou with Leng Yulin’s help.

“It’s going to be dark. Let’s hurry home and wait for the culprit to fall into our trap.”

“That’s the only thing we can do now. I really want that person to show up quickly, so that we can prove Ruoqing’s innocence…”
