back to the kitchen and carried the tray with the dishes into the sink. As she slowly washed her slightly soiled hands with soap, the turmoil in Lin Meng's heart gradually subsided!What is she afraid...When faced with certain death, Jiang's mother miraculously survived. In the embrace of her husband and son, she couldn't contain her tears, sobbing uncontrollably. Her cries were not filled with sorrow, but only with relief at having escaped death. It was as if without these sobs, she wouldn't truly be able to prove she was alive, nor would she be able to vent the tumultuous emotions swirling within her.

A family of three, huddled together, cried together.

This night was too difficult, too tormenting, and too memorable for the Jiang family.

The sight of three people hugging each other and crying together is so touching that even the listeners will be heartbroken and shed tears.

At this most poignant and tear-jerking moment, the tall figure, without a shred of hesitation, strode away silently, gradually disappearing into the black night.

Jiang Yichen reacted, looking up to see Rong Ling, but he had already walked away. Almost, his black figure was about to disappear again into the tall grass.

"Eagle!"

He cried out, his voice still tinged with sadness but considerably more composed.

The departing steps, without the slightest pause, seemed to care nothing for what he was about to say.

Jiang Yichen moved his lips and finally uttered the two words he had never thought he would say to Rong Ling in his entire life.

Thank you!

The shadow remained as agile as ever, seemingly nonchalant as it slipped effortlessly into the grass. The grass swayed slightly, as if pushed aside by his body, yet also as if blown by the wind. It only quivered for a moment before returning to its carefree dance, gently swaying in the breeze.

In that patch of grass, it seemed as if there was no one left. But Chiang Yen-ching knew that the person was still there, lurking, moving silently like they always had. He left, just as silently as he came. It was as if there had never been such a person at all.

Night fell, as dark and heavy as a shroud. He left without a word, like an anonymous hero. With skills that could only be admired, he had completed the task flawlessly, yet he was content with obscurity, fading back into silence. No one knew his true name, no one would record his deeds in history.

Agent Eagle, a frequently used code name during missions. Therefore, anyone could be Eagle, and no one would delve deeper into the person behind the codename.

He left just like that, silently.

Clearly, he achieved such outstanding results, yet -- he received no recognition whatsoever!

Night, it seems, would all grieve for him!

Which man wouldn't yearn for achievements that will be remembered through the ages! Who wouldn't crave to be worshipped, respected, praised, and admired! It's not me, Jiang Yancheng, boasting, but with skill like Rong Ling's, even after all these years operating within the police system, he hasn't found a single person who could rival him. Just by seeing his performance tonight, even some elite special forces operatives would have to go back and reflect!

But Rong Ling just left like that, without leaving a trace!

From the very beginning, he demanded that he needed a codename. He made it clear that his involvement in this mission was to be known only by him, Jiang Chēngfēng, and Wang Lei. After the mission was complete, Jiang Yànchéng would be responsible for explaining things to the outside world, but absolutely no mention of his name was allowed!

He had previously held thoughts of disdain and ridicule towards Rong Ling, thinking that the boy was probably afraid of being ridiculed by everyone at a critical moment for failing to deliver, so he purposely concealed his identity. He didn't have any intention of elevating Rong Ling, so since the other party proposed this idea, he agreed. This way, the task was completed, and he could return to where he came from. It also avoided letting everyone know that the Jiang family owed Rong Ling a favor!

Now, at this very moment, all those thoughts he had earlier have been softened into a ball by him and stomped on mercilessly. He feels ashamed of himself for having such thoughts!

Not seeking fame, not pursuing profit, and fearless of death, that is the true king!

In their eyes, he seemed to possess glory that could reach the heavens. Yet, when confronted with his tall figure gradually receding into the distance, it all vanished like dust in the wind, light and almost weightless! His nonchalance and aloofness only served to further demonstrate his indifference to worldly affairs.

For them, this is a test of life and death!

As for him, he was probably just as if the wind had passed by without a trace, as if nothing had happened at all!

"He's too deep, he's truly unfathomable!"

But from this moment on, Rong Ling's image in Jiang Yancheng's heart immediately grew taller. Even though he was originally disgusted with Rong Ling, he still admired this person. After tonight's events, he could only admire him even more!

The thicket of weeds stood silent. He had stared at it for ages, but could see no sign of anyone. His gaze flickered and he let out a soft sigh, then turned his attention away, only to see his son staring blankly at the same patch of weeds.

He thought for a moment, then smiled slightly.

This is the first smile of the evening.

If you look closely, you'll notice that this old man hasn't smiled so freely in a long time.

"Riding the wind, there's an eternally high peak waiting for you to surpass. That's wonderful!"

A person's greatest fear is falling into the state of "being alone in seeking defeat"!

"Come, Xiao Yan, let me help you up. Let's leave here first and talk."

Mrs. Jiang let out an "um" and, with Jiang Yancheng's support, stood up. Jiang Chengfeng hurriedly reached out to help her. In the end, Mrs. Jiang was tightly embraced by Jiang Yancheng as they walked towards the car. Jiang Chengfeng remained motionless, standing there, scanning the battlefield, and then let out a long sigh. But soon, he regained his composure and strode after Mr. and Mrs. Jiang.

There are still many things to be done. With so many illegal weapons appearing after the deaths, this matter is bound to draw attention even if someone tries to cover it up. He needs to think carefully about how to respond to inquiries from above.

Rong Ling got into the car arranged by Jiang Yichen. The driver was someone he had just met today, but since it was someone Jiang Yichen had found, he felt reassured. The man was very disciplined and probably had been given instructions beforehand. At the designated location, Rong Ling, dressed in black from head to toe and covering his face, signaled with a secret code before getting into the car. He didn't ask any questions either. Now, smelling the distinct metallic scent of blood emanating from Rong Ling, he still remained silent. Rong Ling indicated a destination, and he silently carried out his orders, driving the car to the specified location before leaving Rong Ling behind and silently driving away.

Rong Ling quickly turned into the hutong, walked for a while, and emerged from the entrance. A car happened to be parked in front of him. He got in as soon as the door opened.

"Are you alright"

Ai Yi frowned, inquiring with concern.

"It's fine!" Rong Ling replied, quickly changing his clothes.

Ai Yi no longer meddled and focused intently on driving.

The surrounding area had already been investigated by trusted subordinates, ensuring absolute safety. So long as everything was in order with the Jiang family and Wang Lei, then tonight, no one would know about Rong Ling accepting the mission. Wang Lei and Rong Ling had a close relationship, forged through life-or-death experiences, and were absolutely trustworthy. As for the Jiang family, Rong Ling thought it best not to reveal anything. After all, they weren't the type to be so disrespectful.

After tonight, he wouldn't expect the Jiang family to be grateful. At least, past grievances should be wiped clean. He still understood the character of this family of three. It was because there were still some respectable aspects in their character that they weren't like some officials who were gilded on the outside but rotten to the core. That's why he could tell Lin Meng what he said back then, that as long as the Jiang family didn't go too far, he would endure it. And these days, he hadn't even made a move against them!

With tonight's events, the Jiang family will definitely be obedient and won't make trouble anymore. It's worth all the effort and expense he put in.

I'm only helping Jiang's family because of Lin Meng, and I really don't want them to bother me anymore. But deep down, I know that even if they don't come looking for trouble, if something happens to the Jiang family, Lin Meng definitely won't ignore it. After all, her life was saved by Xiao Lang.

This will always be a problem!

But, he could only try his best to keep the Jiang family as far away from Lin Meng as possible.

The Jiang family was looking, and only Mrs. Jiang could be a breakthrough point. So this person, he had to save him. He didn't need to be too sentimental, just frighten Jiang Yancheng, and he would take on the task. He originally thought that Mrs. Jiang really liked Youyou. This time he saved her, she must have some gratitude in her heart, right Then, with the little guy as a mediator, Mrs. Jiang should be touched a lot. That way, Lin Meng could also have less difficulty.

It seems his luck is really good. Jiang Mu's body was actually strapped with a timed bomb. He heard Jiang Mu scream so terribly at the time, and he felt a little happy in his heart. Disarming bombs is his specialty. It seems this favor can be even heavier.

He didn't expect Jiang Chufeng to be so capable, looking like he was going to handle the bomb himself. So he just kept quiet and watched silently. But fate had other plans for him.

Jiang Chengfeng only solved the first question and decided to withdraw. His face, like someone who has lost a loved one, was truly a sight to behold. This Jiang team leader, always confident and capable, when handling cases, he was invincible. It's really rare to see him like this.

Look at him, his hands are shaking so badly, he can barely speak. Just tell him to go somewhere cool down!

Because of his wife, he had been enduring this father and son duo. Therefore, he could only use the opportunity to get them to leave, taking the chance to kick each of them in the buttocks as a small act of revenge.

I believe that these two proud individuals, since becoming adults, have never been so humiliated. Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, this will probably be the only time in their entire lives. Thinking back, these two must feel awkward! It's just a pity that we can't see what expressions they will make; it would definitely be very amusing.

It's a pity!

After sending off the Jiang family father and son, he began his main act.

Defusing a bomb!

No! No!

Disarming bombs is child's play, those are just leftovers from his past. What's really hard is how he managed to sweat so profusely in such a short amount of time. In life or death situations, if you don't break a cold sweat, the whole performance loses its authenticity.

Anyway, he was completely covered in his clothes, so no one could see whether he was sweating cold sweat or hot sweat, nor could they tell if his face had turned white from fright or red from squeezing out sweat.

This is a real skill!

I finally sweated out a head of sweat, listening to Jiang Chengfeng howling over there like a wolf. This feeling is really refreshing. My body was covered in sweat, watching him be moved by me and truly express his feelings, it felt a bit like eating ice cream on a scorching summer day. It's just that it seemed a bit immoral towards Jiang! But what is morality Jiang isn't a moral person, neither am I, what use is this thing for

The performance must be played out fully, layer by layer, to achieve the best effect. In the last two seconds, it was performed as if facing death and cut off decisively. Even with your toes, you can tell that the three Jiang family members must have been deeply moved!

After all, he "put his life on the line"!

When he shouted "thank you" to Lao Jiang one last time, he knew that he, the Jiang family, or perhaps he, Lin Meng, and his third uncle, had let go of all the grudges with the Jiang family!

Don't blame him for shaking up this Jiang family, if it weren't for him, the three members of the Jiang family would all be dead tonight. The trap was set to ensure the death of the three Jiang family members. In the end, if not for him, if any other bomb disposal expert had come up, there was a very high chance that Mrs. Jiang would still have died. And time doesn't wait for anyone, where could you find such a bomb disposal expert!

He saved these three people in one fell swoop, and it was enough to wipe out the favor Xiao Lang had done for him. The Jiang family should be grateful for tonight's events, otherwise, with their unresolved knot like this, they would surely end up badly. He wouldn't attack the Jiang family, but once he had a chance here, when he counterattacked against the Liu family, could the Jiang family escape At that time, it wouldn't be him who made the Jiang family die, but the Liu family who made them die. It would be better to stop now because of tonight's events, withdraw, and not be dragged down by the Liu family!

He thought about it for a moment, then pursed his lips in slight dissatisfaction.

Back and forth, it's all about fulfilling the Jiang family, helping the Jiang family.

Never mind, after all, it was the Jiang family's son who saved his wife's life. Compared to his wife's life, what the Jiang family did was just a small matter.

But I don't know what kind of play the Jiang family is putting on tonight, which side they have offended to push their dignified Deputy Minister of Public Security to this point!

He had a prepared answer in his mind.

That's Wu Shengnan!

As for Wu Shengnan, she was always clingy. At night, there was no way to escape her. Tonight, however, was different. She acted so docile and virtuous, urging him to go home early to see their son. He didn't care what she was up to; he was just happy to get away. At her words, he gave a few empty replies before leaving.

She came down and has been very well-behaved, staying in the bedroom all along. However, it's strange that she went to bed very early.

Then there must be something going on.

He left his subordinates to keep watch and stayed behind to enjoy himself with his wife and son.

Then, there was trouble with Jiang's mother. Jiang Yancheng and Jiang Chengfeng were both forced to go save her, and it was obvious that someone was desperately trying to kill the whole family!

What a coincidence!

To dare to confront Jiang Yichen, directly challenging the Ministry of Public Security, and choosing this specific time to do so—neither sooner nor later—leaves no room for him to overthink.

Jiang Yancheng, that old fox, had started sending people to keep an eye on Wu Shengnan a long time ago. Jiang Yancheng's tricks were limited, and he had already figured them all out. Back when he secretly sent people to monitor his villa, he scared them off directly. Jiang Yancheng immediately became more disciplined and started having people watch from afar. He kept these old thoughts in check so that the old man wouldn't get desperate and start acting erratically because he couldn't get what he wanted. He also started meddling with his woman again, so he just turned a blind eye to those incompetent people watching from a distance. After all, they would monitor him relentlessly through thick and thin, but it wouldn't bother him. The only one who would be bothered was Jiang Yancheng himself.

But Wu Shengnan didn't need to be protected like Fort Knox. Jiang Yichen wanted to investigate, let him. After all, if it was a fake and Jiang Yichen found out, he might even help him out.

As the deputy minister of public security, his phone line is definitely untouchable. However, Wu Shengnan's mother's side... that's a different story. They could easily get their hands on information. During such a sensitive time, Jiang Yichen called Wu Shengnan's mother and brought up Wu Shengnan again, even asking for her current phone number. You tell me, there's gotta be something fishy going on here.

The old fox is busy with other things, who has the time to chat and catch up with people. In times of urgency, there's no time to show concern for an old friend's daughter.

We cannot touch Jiang Yichen's or Wu Shengnan's phones. One is a high-ranking police officer, even if he were lawless, he would still have to avoid this. The other is an intelligence agent from the other side, it's absolutely impossible to alarm them. However, we can keep tabs on these two.

Wu Sheng-nan was driven to a private gathering, and coincidentally, Jiang Yan-cheng was also at the house where the small gathering took place.

That's interesting.

It seems the old fox has discovered something!

Then so quickly, the Jiang family fell into trouble and had such a big plan tonight. There is reason to suspect that those killed by him were sent by Party M, just like...

He coldly pursed his lips, a flash of killing intent in his eyes!

Just like that bustling street, his woman was nearly killed by the mysterious person who appeared and disappeared without a trace!

Back then, that murder on the street has never been solved. He was always puzzled, wondering if he and Lin Meng still had any hidden enemies. But after discovering that Li Lanqiu was Wu Shengnan in disguise, he immediately understood.

He brought the wolves, but his woman suffered because of it. And he almost...

A hint of blood welled up in his eyes before quickly subsiding.

She definitely shouldn't die too easily!

If his guess is correct, it seems that Old Fox Jiang has something threatening Wu Shengnan. Should he take this line and use Jiang Yancheng's hand to get rid of Wu Shengnan as soon as possible!

But he didn't expect that someone would be faster than him!

Here is a wonderful story by Puhushen: "Erosion and Devouring".

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

She stood naked, shy and helpless, accepting his strength with love. Their passion was consuming, soul-deep. She bloomed for him, and he vowed to cherish her forever.

In fact, it wasn't just their wedding night. She had given him her first time in almost every way, because he was the man she loved with all her heart and soul, a love that knew no bounds.

On the operating table, feeling that unformed life slowly flowing out of her body, she felt her own life ebbing away step by step.

For three years, over a thousand days and nights, her love for him never stopped, it only deepened.

However, upon their second meeting, she no longer existed in his memory.

She hid in the shadows, stealthily watching his even more stunning face. Her heart was intoxicated, yet shattered at the same time.

A love that cuts to the bone, a descent into obsession. Who ultimately prevails, and who will be lost in the depthser head slightly, and grasped the little one's hand, gently touching their palm with her lips."Youyou, it's your godfather who is sorry.
