Chapter 141 You Have a Lipstick Mark on Your Face
Qin Yingxue knew that Zhou Xinbing wouldn't reveal a word, so she could only tentatively ask, "Last year, the bandit suppression on Shiku Island was unsuccessful. Song Yanchuan won't be sent to carry out this mission, will he?"
Zhou Xinbing showed a shocked expression, then quickly composed himself.
Qin Yingxue's heart sank when she saw his reaction.
"Did you also bring Ouyang Sword?" Qin Yingxue asked in a deep voice.
Zhou Xinbing couldn't hide his surprise this time and asked, "How did you know, sister-in-law?"
In his previous life, Song Yanchuan sacrificed himself to save Ouyang Jian.
She thought that her intrusion had changed Song Yanchuan's fate, but she never expected that the anti-bandit operation on Shiku Island last year would be assigned to Lei Hongjun. Unfortunately, the mission failed, and not only was Lei Hongjun injured, but most of his soldiers were also wounded.
Enraged, Liu Chengming demoted Lei Hongjun and sent him to the cooking squad.
Lei Hongjun was not discouraged by this punishment. Once, when he came to drink with Song Yanchuan, he said drunkenly, "Not a single one of my soldiers was killed or injured. Even if I had to take off this uniform, it would have been worth it. Yanchuan, those bandits on Shiku Island are really tough! They have guns and explosives. The power is too great. If we get close, we will be blown up... I can't bear to see our precious lives lost!"
Lei Hongjun finished speaking with tears streaming down his face: "I know I'm a coward, and my future is over. But I have no regrets. Maybe I'm just not cut out for this job."
Nowadays, Lei Hongjun and his soldiers are doing very well in the cooking squad.
After defeating Lei Hongjun's troops, the bandits on Shiku Island became even more rampant, repeatedly massacring fishermen from the surrounding islands, which aroused public outrage.
But Qin Yingxue knew very well that Song Yanchuan must have been summoned for investigation by his superiors. Liu Chengming, upon learning this, realized the situation was complicated and thus came up with the idea of having Song Yanchuan surround and exterminate the bandits on Shiku Island to clear his name...
He became a suspect simply because a car suddenly appeared while he was visiting a military camp...
Qin Yingxue always felt a pent-up anger inside, which would fester if she didn't express it.
Suppressing bandits on Shiku Island was extremely dangerous, especially since the enemy had a large amount of explosives. Qin Yingxue asked Zhou Xinbing to wait for her, then hurriedly returned to her room, opened the wardrobe as cover, and bought a large quantity of wound medicine and two sets of bulletproof vests from the mall...
She hurried downstairs and said to Zhou Xinbing, "Can I go with you to see Song Yanchuan? Don't worry, I just want to give him this package myself."
Zhou Xinbing looked troubled, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay, then I'll take my sister-in-law there."
Qin Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, if Zhou Xinbing disagreed, she planned to pursue him herself.
This makes it easy to expose yourself.
But compared to Song Yanchuan's life, at this point, she couldn't care less about anything else.
Zhou Xinbing was originally on the list of those to carry out the mission. After delivering the letter, he drove after them.
Bringing Qin Yingxue along at this moment doesn't count as delaying the mission.
The two hurried and caught up with Song Yanchuan and Ouyang Jian's group at a secluded dock, just as they were about to board the ship.
The ship wasn't large, and not all the men from the two battalions participated; only the elite of the elite were selected.
Because it was too dark, Qin Yingxue couldn't see very clearly, but she could still see a dense mass of heads.
Upon seeing Qin Yingxue appear, Song Yanchuan quickly jumped off the boat and greeted her with concern, asking, "Yingxue, what brings you here?"
Qin Yingxue knew that time was of the essence, so she didn't have time to say much. She handed him the bundle in her hand: "There are wound medicines inside, as well as some beautiful bulletproof vests that I bought from Boss Zhang. There are only two sets, one for you and one for Ouyang Jian."
Song Yanchuan couldn't hide his surprise: "Boss Zhang actually sells bulletproof vests? No need, the army learned from Lei Hongjun's last battle and provided each of us with bulletproof vests..."
"You should wear this as the innermost layer, Song Yanchuan. If you don't want me to worry, you must wear it," Qin Yingxue said anxiously.
The bulletproof vests from the 80s are nowhere near as high-tech as the ones she bought at a high price in the mall.
"Okay, I promise you." Song Yanchuan couldn't bear to see her worried and anxious look, so he had no choice but to give in.
"I overheard Lei Hongjun talking to you over drinks, Yan Chuan. I believe you and Ouyang Jian must have a battle plan, but you must remember this: bandits have no humanity. To catch the thief, catch the king first. Once you catch the bandit leader, the rest of the henchmen won't pose a threat..."
Qin Yingxue grabbed Song Yanchuan's hand and earnestly gave him her instructions.
Song Yanchuan was somewhat surprised, but when his eyes met her anxious gaze, he couldn't say anything. He could only comfort her, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back safe and sound. I will be with you to watch our three children grow up, get married, and have children of their own..."
"You said it yourself, Song Yanchuan. If you don't keep your word, I'll hold you accountable, whether you're in the netherworld or the afterlife."
Qin Yingxue stared intently at him with her big eyes, speaking each word with a serious expression.
Song Yanchuan shuddered, his hair standing on end, somewhat unable to believe what he had just heard.
"You heard me right. If you die, my children and I won't live on alone. I'll bring them to settle accounts with you," Qin Yingxue said firmly in Song Yanchuan's ear, standing on tiptoe.
“I promise you…” Song Yanchuan replied in a hoarse voice, “I will not let this happen.”
Qin Yingxue could no longer hold back her tears, but a happy smile appeared on her face.
"Silly girl!" Song Yanchuan reached out and wiped away her tears. "Go home and wait for me."
"Yes!" Qin Yingxue nodded vigorously.
Song Yanchuan reached out and placed his large hand on the back of Qin Yingxue's head. With a slight exertion, Qin Yingxue was forced to move closer to him.
Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and before she could react, she felt a warm touch on her lips.
Qin Yingxue's first reaction was to look around. It was pitch black, with only sparse moonlight overhead.
Qin Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief.
"Go back quickly! I'll have Xiao Zhou take you." Song Yanchuan reluctantly let go of Qin Yingxue and gave her this instruction.
"No need, I'll go back myself," Qin Yingxue shook her head and refused.
"Listen to me, don't make me worry," Song Yanchuan said earnestly.
Qin Yingxue had no choice but to nod: "Make sure you take everything in your bundle safe and don't lose anything."
"Understood." Song Yanchuan waved to Zhou Xinbing, who was not far away.
Zhou Xinbing hurriedly ran over, his face flushed, and he was somewhat afraid to look at the two of them.
"Take your sister-in-law back home. While I'm away, please take good care of the family," Song Yanchuan instructed.
"Yes, sir." Zhou Xinbing saluted and watched Song Yanchuan board the ship and leave with Qin Yingxue.
"Sticky and gooey, don't think I didn't see it. You and your sister-in-law were all like that in front of so many people..." Ouyang Jian punched Song Yanchuan and teased him.
You have a lipstick mark on your face!
