Chapter 528: Why start scolding her? Just how much have you pushed this child?

~7 min read 1,370 words

"To cut off their retreat, we must engage in indoor combat."

"I will be responsible for pinning down Delun, utilizing his desire to win."

For so many years, Chen Xun has been a thorn in Delun's side; he loses to him every single time, and has even nearly lost his life several times. As long as Chen Xun appears, Delun has only one target, and no others.

"Leave Shadow to Nan Nan," Chen Xun said.

An Yinan let out a yawn and looked at the two men, "I'm sleepy."

Yun Fei shot Chen Xun an annoyed look; since Nan Nan is too precious to scold, can't he take it out on you, his nephew-in-law?

But before he could even get the words out, he was interrupted by that girl.

"Hold it in!"

The veins on Yun Fei's forehead throbbed, showing just how much Endurance he was exerting.

An Yinan looked at Yun Fei, then sighed, "Alright."

A single soft sentence left Yun Fei with anger that he could neither release nor suppress without feeling stifled!

"Let's talk about you," Yun Fei looked at An Yinan.

An Yinan blinked and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes; she was truly sleepy.

"Me? What is there to talk about?" An Yinan asked, puzzled.

"Talk about your combat skills, talk about how you dealt with Shadow, and how you determined there was another person," Yun Fei gritted his teeth.

He had been a Commander for many years and rarely experienced such emotional fluctuations.

On his shoulders rested the lives of soldiers and the heavy responsibilities of the nation.

But today, he had broken his composure!

Because his own niece had broken her composure.

An Yinan frowned, "Great Uncle, watch your blood pressure!"

Yun Fei took two deep breaths, "Go on."

An Yinan forced herself to perk up, then said, "Xunge and I have studied a lot of data on this Shadow over these past few days, and we finally reached a conclusion."

"Shadow is not one person."

"How so?" Yun Fei asked.

"People have behavioral instincts, but Shadow's behavioral instincts and results are sometimes completely opposite. Either this person has multiple personalities, or there is something fishy going on."

"Later, I went through a large amount of data, even many archived internal documents from Eagle Country, and reached a conclusion: this Shadow is two people."

"But our trap was already set; if we want to go fishing, we have to put out some bait."

Ignoring the dark expressions on the two men's faces, An Yinan shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.

She naturally knew that these two were both concerned about her, but long nights bring many dreams!

If this Shadow wasn't caught, they would have to be on guard at all times; who can guard against a thief for a thousand days?

So, she decided to go all the way; she drew Delun's attention and made him issue the order.

Delun's desire to win was too strong; when facing Xunge, that desire to win was even more explosive. After the first probe ended, he didn't retreat at all, but was instead filled with a desire to challenge him.

That was how Shadow's operation came about.

"Moreover, only by forcing Shadow's hand could we make the Light behind him appear," An Yinan said.

"Light?" Yun Fei looked at An Yinan.

An Yinan smiled, "That is the reason for the existence of Shadow, because of the existence of Light. Light changes position; it can block the distribution and intensity of light rays, which can create visual effects."

"Simply put, when driving, if you stay in a high-intensity light area and suddenly enter a dark place, the human eye will experience a blind spot; this is also called visual deception."

"Also, if you stay in a dark place for a long time and suddenly enter a high-intensity light area, you will also experience temporary blindness."

"And Shadow's mysterious nature is all because of the Light behind him."

The two men, who originally knew nothing about these things, roughly understood some of it through An Yinan's simple examples.

"Then how were you certain that the other person existed?" Chen Xun asked.

In truth, he didn't know about the existence of Light either; Nan Nan only told him to pin down Delun and never said that Light and Shadow were two people.

"Because... the first time we met..." An Yinan shrugged her shoulders.

Chen Xun's face grew even darker.

Such important information, and this girl had actually hidden it.

An Yinan saw his expression and waved her hands, "You misunderstood, I didn't know at that time."

"It was later, using many case files, that I deduced it."

"But after thinking carefully about our first meeting, the light was different from the daily light."

"Although the weather and light intensity are different every day, the weather on those two days was actually similar. Logically, the change shouldn't have been that great, but the day Shadow appeared, it was too dark."

An Yinan pointed to her brow; she really wasn't suited for using her brain. Once she used her brain, she felt a bit...

Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly fainted.

"Nan Nan!" Chen Xun rushed over in one stride and caught her directly in his arms.

Yun Fei opened the office door and said to the Guard, "Go find Wang Qing quickly."

The Guard hurried out.

"Nan Nan!" Chen Xun called out anxiously.

"Put her down, she can't be hunched over like that. She was fine just a moment ago, how did she suddenly faint?" Wang Qing looked at the two men with some resentment.

A mistake is a mistake; the error has already occurred.

Just guide her slowly in the future!

Why start scolding her? Just how much have you pushed this child?

Yun Fei saw Wang Qing's gaze, but had no words to explain...

Chen Xun didn't notice Wang Qing's gaze at all; he held An Yinan's hand and called out softly, "Nan Nan?"

After Wang Qing performed a series of examinations, she did not find any problems, and both children already had fetal heartbeats, which could be heard clearly with a stethoscope.

"There's no problem at all!" Wang Qing said with some confusion.

After a short while, the sound of soft snoring came from the bed.

Everyone looked at each other, and then Yun Fei looked at Chen Xun, "How long has it been since Nan Nan had a proper rest?"

"Ever since she came to the Project Department, she has maintained the bare minimum of sleep, six hours a day." Chen Xun only knew this much; he spent most of his time in the command room.

"No afternoon naps, no other time off; every time she rested, it was me who had to drag her out for a walk." Wang Qing said this through gritted teeth.

She even used the term "me" (referring to herself as 'laozi'), which showed how much resentment she held in her heart.

Yun Fei pressed his temples, "How is her health?"

"Her health is very good," Wang Qing replied.

If her health weren't good, she wouldn't have been able to push herself like this.

Hearing Wang Qing say this, Yun Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let Nan Nan rest; let's go outside to talk," Yun Fei said.

He and Chen Xun discussed some security defense matters further, then left the Project Department.

The troops outside had not retreated; the second time, they had intentionally let their guard down to let those people enter the building.

However, the first time, it was indeed their dereliction of duty.

Yun Fei wrote the report, downplaying some of Nan Nan's contributions; in his heart, he had always hoped that Nan Nan could be an ordinary child, and he was selfish too—of the Yun Family children, all who could join the Military had already joined.

Except for Yun Qi who chose a political path, and Beibei who was going to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, only Nan Nan wanted to do business.

He didn't want to make things difficult for Nan Nan; he wanted to let Nan Nan do her own thing.

The Yun Family had already done enough.
