Chapter 154: In Name Only
After hearing this explanation, General Ye lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded. "Well, all right. I'll report the details to my superiors immediately. As long as there are no objections, we can proceed according to the plan you've drawn up."
"Thank you for your understanding and support, Director Ye."
As he finished speaking, Fu Yanlin walked out of the room with a detailed map in his hand and began to make specific deployments and arrangements for the upcoming mission.
Every member involved in this mission carefully checked their equipment to ensure that every item could be used normally until the first rays of morning light appeared on the horizon.
At this time, Fu Yanlin was standing halfway up the mountain, looking at the hazy Cong family not far away.
At the same time, Ye Ruge also arrived at this place.
She looked at the figure from afar, her eyes gentle yet filled with complex emotions, and she could hardly take her eyes off the man standing in the dawn.
She bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes revealing reluctance and determination as she slowly walked towards Yan Lin: "Yan Lin, this mission is bound to be full of unknown dangers. This is the protective jade my mother gave me when I was a child. Please be sure to accept it. Although I know this may just be superstition, I still hope it will bring you good luck and that you return safely."
Fu Yanlin glanced at the warm jade pendant indifferently, without showing too much emotional fluctuation.
"I'm not particularly interested in these ethereal things. You can keep them for yourself. Everyone has their own amulet, and mine might be this unwavering belief."
A trace of barely perceptible loss and pain flashed across Ye Ruge's eyes.
"Do you really think that being with Qiao Jin will make you happier than being with me? You should know that my father is now a senior leader in your army and has enormous influence. If he wants to support someone's growth and progress, it's almost a piece of cake. Is it worth it for you to give up such a shortcut to success for an ordinary girl?"
Facing Ye Ruge's almost interrogative words, Fu Yanlin maintained his characteristic calm attitude and responded, "I believe that doing one's part well is the most practical option. The rest will naturally have its solutions. Overthinking will only affect judgment."
"Please listen carefully to what I am about to say, and this will be your last chance."
When hearing such words, Ye Ruge's body tensed up unconsciously, her heart beat faster, and her heart was filled with insecurity, fearing that she would be hit hard in the next second.
As the words fell, Fu Yanlin's gaze gradually moved to the other person's face and stayed there for a few seconds, his eyes revealing a strong warning.
"Qiao Jin is the person I like. It doesn't matter what her background is. In my heart, she is unique. Just being by her side is enough to make me feel satisfied."
"I hate it when someone tries to interfere with my personal life choices, especially when it comes to relationships. This time, I've reached the limit of my tolerance. Ms. Ye, please understand the boundaries. If you violate my privacy again, don't expect me to handle the situation as gently as I did today."
After hearing these words, Ye Ruge's face suddenly turned as pale as paper.
The anger that had been pent up in her chest for a long time almost reached a critical point, but her reason told her that she must not lose control at this time, otherwise it would only make herself more embarrassed.
After Fu Yanlin finished expressing everything he wanted to say, the sky outside had already begun to turn red.
As the first ray of sunlight illuminated the earth, he turned and left without hesitation, without even looking back at Ye Ruge who was standing behind him.
When Fu Yanlin arrived at the tent, Chang Jian and Xiang Pengfei were already ready to set off.
Seeing Fu Yanlin and Ye Ruge not far away, Chang Jian couldn't help but sigh: "Captain, she seems to be still pestering you. Does she really think that just because she is the daughter of the general manager, everyone should submit to her?"
His tone was full of sarcasm and helplessness, and he was obviously very disgusted with Ye Ruge's behavior.
Chang Jian mocked openly, but Fu Yanlin remained calm.
In his eyes, Ye Ruge's infatuation with him seemed not worth mentioning. It could even be said that he didn't care about this feeling at all.
He only wanted to complete the mission quickly and rescue Qiao Jin from his village.
In Fu Yanlin's mind, this is almost the most important thing at the moment, and nothing can distract him.
Since the commander-in-chief has already led the team out, Ye Ruge naturally cannot go with him.
Although she was unwilling, she had no choice.
The commander-in-chief clearly told her that she must stay in the camp and not go anywhere. When Ye Ruge wanted to refute, she was stopped by the commander-in-chief.
Faced with such an order, even though she was filled with anger and dissatisfaction, she had no way to do anything.
In the end, Ye Ruge could only watch the commander-in-chief walk away in indignation.
Her expression seemed extremely dissatisfied, and her eyes revealed anger and frustration that were difficult to conceal.
On the other side, in Congjia Village.
When Qiao Jin woke up, he heard someone knocking on the door.
The slight sound immediately made her alert and she became extremely nervous.
Her eyes quickly swept over the neatly arranged clothes on the bed. She remembered that there were some self-defense gear that Fu Yanlin had prepared for her last night.
He had specifically instructed her to use these tools before he left, to ensure that she could protect herself in an emergency.
She quickly put on her clothes and checked them carefully before carefully opening the door.
The person in front of me was Dong Chunlan, holding a freshly steamed sweet potato in her hand, with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.
Qiao Jin knew very well that she had helped this woman yesterday.
Yesterday she had unbearable abdominal pain and had to seek help from Qiao Jin.
But Dong Chunlan clearly remembered what Qiao Jin said at that time?
It was said that the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity was very serious and required surgery to resolve.
But the result?
The old man just gave her an injection of medicine, and her condition was cured immediately!
This sudden therapeutic effect made Dong Chunlan feel a little surprised and curious at the same time.
She wanted to find out what secrets were hidden in it.
Dong Chunlan looked at Qiao Jin, secretly dissatisfied in her heart: "You still haven't cured me. You said you wanted surgery, but I recovered without any surgery. It's really just a false reputation."
On the surface, Dong Chunlan still pretended to be enthusiastic, "Qiao Jin, are you awake? Come and eat. This is the sweet potato I made especially for you. Thanks to your help last night."
Qiao Jin replied calmly, "It's not because of me, it's mainly because the secret medicine in your house worked, and the effect was very significant."
