Chapter 517: Seeing Jiang Zhen Again

~7 min read 1,372 words

"Wife, the car is here." Chen Xun ran in from outside, hugged An Yinan, then picked up the backpack she had prepared and took her hand.

This time, it was his turn to protect her.

"Comrade, get in the car." The soldier didn't say anything extra; he didn't even get out of the car, just opened a window and said to the two of them.

An Yinan and Chen Xun looked at each other; it seemed time was very tight.

They got straight into the car, and no one spoke along the way; the air was somewhat frozen.

Chen Xun held Nan Nan's hand, feeling her soft fingers in his palm, and felt exceptionally steady in his heart.

Even in the most difficult mission, as long as he was alive, he would not let anything happen to Nan Nan; this time, he must protect her.

"Comrade, board the plane." As soon as the two of them got out of the car, a soldier came over to guide them.

When An Yinan and Chen Xun boarded the plane, they saw many familiar faces.

Military Medical Sage, Wang Qing.

Northeast Military Region, Zhang Qian.

No, he had already been transferred to the Beijing General District; she hadn't expected that their first meeting would be in this situation.

She was familiar with these two, but there was one more person she was most familiar with: Third Brother Yun Bi.

The violent roar had already begun; no one spoke, everyone was very quiet, but the solemnity in their eyes expressed everything.

It had been a long time since there was a small-scale mission that required mobilizing so many people, especially so many elite soldiers.

There were three planes taking off together, and the plane carrying these people circled several mountain ranges before arriving at a location.

It was only fifty meters from the ground. After the plane stabilized, a rope was lowered from the cabin door, and then a safety rope was held in a soldier's hand.

"You are going to rappel; who is going first?" The soldier holding the safety rope looked at the circle of soldiers.

Chen Xun spoke immediately, "I'll go."

He then gave Zhang Qian and Yun Bi a look. No one present knew that Nan Nan was pregnant, but the mission had to be carried out, and he had to be below to protect Nan Nan's safety.

"Good." The soldier fastened the safety rope tightly for him and then nodded at Chen Xun.

Chen Xun looked at An Yinan and smiled gently, "Don't be afraid, I'll be below."

Afterward, he gripped the rope and was the first to rappel down.

Until that soldier brought the safety rope back up and looked at the others in the cabin, "Who's next?"

Zhang Qian nodded at the soldier, then patted Yun Bi on the shoulder, "Nan Nan is in your hands."

"Fasten it for me." After the soldier finished fastening it, Zhang Qian immediately rappelled down.

They didn't have an air force, but this group of people had all had some contact with rappelling, especially elite soldiers like Chen Xun and Zhang Qian.

After pulling up the safety rope, the soldiers behind them applied to rappel one by one.

In the end, there were only two people left in the cabin: Yun Bi and An Yinan.

"It's okay, they are below. Nan Nan, trust our soldiers." Yun Bi checked the safety rope for An Yinan, and only then did he nod at her.

An Yinan was expressionless, but her palms were sweating; she wasn't afraid for her own safety, but worried about the child.

The safety rope was tied tightly around her waist and abdomen, and all the gravity, besides the rope in her hands, was on the safety rope.

She was worried it would hurt the child, but the current situation...

She had no other choice!

Yun Bi worriedly took the soldier's binoculars and looked at Nan Nan's sliding body; the worry in Chen Xun's heart was no less than Nan Nan's, and he felt uneasy.

"Slow down." Chen Xun quickly ran to Nan Nan's landing point, hugged her, and slid down bit by bit; otherwise, the center of gravity force from top to bottom would cause a rebound force upon landing.

"I'm fine, don't worry." An Yinan patted Chen Xun's back, quickly untied the safety rope from her waist, and gave a gesture to those above to pull it up.

"Isn't that a bit much? You two are acting a bit strange." Zhang Qian ran over, looked at Chen Xun, and then looked at An Yinan.

These two were both the type who feared nothing, and it was rare to see their expressions look bad.

"Nan Nan is pregnant," Chen Xun said.

Only then did Zhang Qian realize what the rappel just now meant for someone who was pregnant.

"Doctor Wang." Zhang Qian immediately turned back to find Wang Qing.

An Yinan called out to stop him, "We are on a mission now, and I don't feel uncomfortable."

She was telling the truth; the mission was important, but in her heart, the child was even more important.

She was not a soldier; if anything were compared to her child, she would choose her child. She loved her country very much, but she loved her child even more.

She was a selfish person.

"If you feel any discomfort, you must say so," Chen Xun urged her, while constantly observing her expression, afraid that she would push herself too hard once on a mission, afraid that she would disregard her own safety.

"Okay." An Yinan smiled.

When she was alone, she could be reckless and disregard life and death.

But now she wasn't alone; there was a little bean in her belly. She wondered if it was even the size of a mung bean yet?

Yun Bi soon rappelled down, and the soldiers who had been waiting there said, "Get in the car."

A military truck was driving on a mountain road.

An Yinan sat in the passenger seat, gnawing on an apple; the "crunch, crunch" sound was exceptionally clear in the cab.

The soldier driving kept his eyes straight ahead; now, during the mission, his eyes only saw the destination.

An Yinan was hungry; every day at this time was when she had a snack, either some fruit, or ham sausages from the factory, or some noodles and dumplings.

This led to her forming a habit; if she didn't eat when the time came, she would be hungry.

"We've arrived!" The soldier finally spoke, looking at An Yinan who was gnawing on the apple.

An Yinan held the apple and looked at him, "So fast?"

The soldier was expressionless. Fast? You've almost finished such a big apple.

An Yinan seemed to see resentment in his expressionlessness...

After Chen Xun opened the door, she nimbly got out of the car.

"We need to go on foot from here, but it's very close now; the road ahead is too narrow for the car to pass," the soldier explained to everyone after getting out.

He then handed the map to Chen Xun.

"May the mission go smoothly."

This was the greatest blessing for this group of people: for the mission to go smoothly and for them to return in one piece.

"Right." Chen Xun patted the man on the shoulder, turned to take An Yinan's hand, and then waved his hand, "Let's move out."

For the sake of the mission, An Yinan had changed into comfortable shoes before leaving, but she hadn't expected that just to reach a location, so many steps would be required.

The military, who are they guarding against?

The remaining distance was already very short; after walking three kilometers, the group arrived at the location.

"You've arrived." Jiang Zhen was already waiting there; this time he only had one person beside him, and this place was not Project 0.

An Yinan had previously performed translation tasks at Project 0, and she didn't consider her memory to be so bad that she would forget a place where she had stayed for a month.

Yet everything here was unfamiliar; it looked more like a place that had been built suddenly.

Just for this mission.
