ible for his death!She sighed inwardly and whispered, "It's not that I can't hide, it's just that I want to be beaten by her so that I feel a little better inside!"He immediately narrowed his eyes.She...Rong Ling took a deep breath and said sheepishly. (...tw no pop-up ads)
"Head, since things have come to this, I am willing to accept any punishment!"
Lin Meng's little hand suddenly grabbed Rong Ling. She opened her beautiful eyes and stared at him nervously.
The current call is still on speaker, so Lin Meng can hear everything.
The old man over there also found it hard to process what Rong Ling had just said. He instinctively criticized, "You... Why didn't you walk farther away to make a phone call! Such an important call, how could you make it in front of others This... This—it's not like you at all!"
No, they don't seem like him at all!
He was known for his cunning, as sly as a fox, and meticulous in his actions.
He had a slight flicker of doubt, but Rong Ling's reply immediately dispelled it.
“This is the hotel room, it's just this one room, such a small place. If I leave now, where can I go! I finally found my wife, of course I have to keep her close, I can't let her out of my sight. But I never expected that she, who had fainted, would wake up like this! It was an accident, but since it happened, I can't shirk responsibility. Whatever punishment comes from above, I'm willing to accept it!”
Punishment, how to punish!
The old man's mouth twitched, and even the corners of his eyes began to twitch. Could he possibly submit tonight's report Saying that his subordinates failed to successfully drug his wife into unconsciousness and were accidentally overheard by her... How could such a thing be written in a report Could it be shown to others! It was so absurd and helpless, leaving one unsure whether to cry or laugh. Was there any way this could be presented to anyone!
No!
He risked his face for this, he still wants to, and the Security Bureau still wants to!
He couldn't help but think that many years later, when newcomers browsed the files of old-timers and came across such a record, it would undoubtedly be as sensational as causing a huge uproar! And he, as the deliverer and his immediate superior, would certainly become a "freak" along with him!
This is definitely not glorious!
He thought about it, and suddenly felt like his butt was covered in hair, he couldn't even sit down!
“You——”
He wanted to scold, but couldn't bring himself to say it.
Men, of course, understand the nature of men. When your wife runs away, you anxiously go after her, and then you suppress your disobedient wife on the bed and discipline her, that's perfectly normal.
How dare he!
He dared to make her his wife! Let me know if you have other content you'd like translated!
Didn't he put in enough effort to completely knock his wife out!
He still needs this old face, how could he meddle in other people's marital affairs!
He held back for a long time, this single "you" escaped his lips, but he couldn't say anything else. On the other end of the phone, there was an unsettling silence, only Rong Ling's breathing could be heard, shallow and with a hint of suppression!
"You—" He wanted to say, to make him stop doing that. But once again, the words caught in his throat.
Well, this is still a sensitive topic!
The elderly person felt that they had never been so stifled in their entire life!
The more Rong Ling remained silent, the angrier he became. The elder's heart ached with frustration. Ultimately, unable to bear it any longer, he swallowed his anger and uttered those words.
"You should just stay abroad! I've gotten your application sorted these past couple of days. You and your wife, don't say anything you shouldn't!"
He was driven to this with no other choice! He had to go through the proper channels and make this official.
Rong Ling immediately happily replied.
"Head, thank you!"
The old man grunted on the other end and hung up. To be honest, he was very upset to be pushed to this point, but there was nowhere to vent his anger. It was better to out of sight, out of mind, keeping that kid away from him.
This result was basically within Rongling's expectations. His old boss knew him, and he also knew his old boss, as well as this department!
"It's okay!" He smiled at Lin Meng.
Lin Meng was dizzy and felt like her feet weren't quite touching the ground.
"This is it!"
It doesn't seem like they said anything!
He looked at her with a dazed expression and happily pinched her soft cheeks.
"It's over. Let's stay here for two days first, and we'll go back home after the application is approved."
Her running away, and his having to drop his current task and chase after her immediately, will expedite the review process. If he doesn't catch up to his wife in a day, he will delay the progress of his task by a day. Above needs to think carefully about this in order to lure out that big fish. This time, with the strong push from his old superior, the results will definitely come within the next two days. Both he and she are abroad, so even if those above intend to supplement any materials for investigation, it would be out of reach.
So, Lin Meng has really angered him this time, but it's also a really good opportunity!
Rong Ling is a smart person, and smart people know how to seize any opportunity to benefit themselves.
"So you won't be punished then!" she still asked with some worry.
"If the application goes through smoothly, I should be able to get through this safely."
She then worriedly lowered her eyes, looking as though she still had much to worry about.
He comforted her. "Don't worry, I have someone who's good at this, he should be able to handle it!"
She pouted, still looking a little worried.
He smiled, his handsome face radiating ease.
"Don't think about it anymore, this is the best outcome we could have hoped for. I didn't expect to get this answer either. Xiao Guai, you were very lucky this time. I have a good feeling things will be alright."
He opened his eyes and lied.
What kind of luck is this!
It's not that he's deeply thoughtful and has meticulously planned everything, so there would be such a good outcome!
She was even moved to smile by his laughter.
Well, I hope your luck gets even better!
"Of course, you're here with me! They all say you're my lucky charm!"
Her face flushed slightly, and she asked sheepishly, "Who said that"
Her eyelashes drooped slightly, revealing a hint of shyness mixed with an undeniable joy. Her voice was soft and sweet, with a touch of coquettishness.
"Many." He didn't elaborate on names, and changed the subject.
"Xiao Quai, let me tell you about Li Lanqiu's matter from beginning to end!"
This was exactly what Lin Mengqiu had been hoping for, she immediately pricked up her ears to listen.
Apart from the possibility that Li Lanqiu had been switched at birth, Rong Ling had said everything he needed to say. He didn't mention the switch because Rong Ling didn't want Lin Meng to overthink things and endure unnecessary psychological turmoil. Whether it was the real Li Lanqiu or not, he had already let go. However, sometimes, what you say doesn't always carry conviction. Did he really let go of Li Lanqiu Could Lin Meng truly believe that just because he said so!
I'm afraid not!
So, maybe we shouldn't tell her for now.
If this whole package-swapping thing actually worked out, then when they find the real Li Lanqiu, he would personally take her to meet Li Lanqiu. He'd proudly introduce his wife in front of her, and then bid farewell to Li Lanqiu formally. Everyone goes their separate ways, bridges go back to being bridges, and roads return to being roads. If they ever meet again, they'll just pretend they never knew each other.
He would do it for Lin Meng to see, so that she could truly rest assured. It would be solved in one go, sparing her from unnecessary entanglement.
“After I return home, I still have to act with Li Lanqiu. Xiao Guai, I'm sorry to make you endure this, but you'll have to bear it for a while longer.”
She smiled. "It's okay, just say it out loud. Once you say it, I won't feel so bad."
"Li Lanqiu has already revealed her identity. I'll go back and interrogate her some more; I should be able to get information about that person from her. Once this is done, it will be a great accomplishment. With this matter settled, we can ask for help from the higher-ups regarding Sanbo."
She hummed softly, without saying much more.
He gently pinched her nose and chuckled softly. "Still have a crush on Third Uncle, huh!"
Whenever he is mentioned, she falls silent.
She shook her head slightly, pouted her lips like a crimson jewel, and whispered softly, "You've worked hard."
This actually made his eyes light up slightly. The fact that this little woman could say this means her heart must be more open now.
For Uncle Three, it's worth the hard work. He has put a lot into me.
She thought for a moment, then said, “Be careful then. I feel like this is a dangerous thing for you to do.”
"Well," he frowned slightly. "Everything else is fine, the only thing I'm not sure about right now is how to get out of this unscathed. That's tricky, if we handle it poorly and get noticed by those in the US, things will go south very quickly."
Lin Meng frowned. "Your department, couldn't they prepare an exit strategy for you!"
"There is an escape route, but it's a last resort. And besides, plans can't keep up with changes. What I'm doing now has too many variables, every step I take requires careful consideration."
Because it involves the betrayal and selling out of high-level officials, the authenticity of Li Lanqiu, the involvement of Third Uncle, the entire Rong family, and even his own small family!
"After this is over, I will apply to quit."
"Huh!" she exclaimed in surprise. She had just learned his identity, and hadn't truly felt the weight of it yet, when this man said he was leaving!
He hugged her tightly.
"This line of work is too dangerous. I didn't mind before, but now I have to think about you and our son. When I retire, I'll just stay home with you and our son for the rest of my life!"
Lin Meng's eyes welled up slightly upon hearing this. This man was so thoughtful. Based on what he had just said to her, and her understanding of him, he must absolutely love his job. Otherwise, he wouldn't have joined this department immediately after retiring from the military and stayed for so many years. But now he was saying he wanted to retire for her and their son, that he wanted to stay by her and their son's side peacefully for life!
"Róng Líng—"
She sniffed and gently rubbed her face against his chest.
"I support you, do whatever you want."
He hummed softly in response.
"If there's anything you need to do now, and if I can help, remember to call me. A united couple is like a sharp blade that can cut through any obstacle. I want to be of assistance to you."
Although, she could probably only do a little to help.
But the fact that she had this kind of heart was enough to make Rong Ling Gao happy. He didn't expect his wife to be able to do much, all he wanted was for this little woman to accompany him and support him softly when he was tired.
Most importantly, she and he are of one mind and will always put him first!
"Little one..." he whispered softly.
"Huh"
"Go to sleep, it's late." A hint of a smile played on his lips. It was fine, he and she had plenty of time. For now, he needed to fatten her up, make sure she was in good spirits.
He didn't say he was sleepy at first, but when he did, she actually felt a little tired. After all, he had worn her out a few times.
"Ugh..." she hummed, acting cute. "Then hold me while I sleep. My butt hurts, and I want you to hug me so I don't have to lie on my butt!"
Only then did he remember that he had forgotten this!
"I'll put some medicine on you!"
Saying that, he called Ah Yi. With the beaten-up kid in front, Ah Yi brought the ointment quickly. Rong Ling took the medicine and casually put it on the bedside table, then hugged Lin Meng to take a shower. She was now soft all over and had no strength, she estimated that she couldn't wash herself, so he had to do it.ne!"Lu Youdao spoke of Rong Ling with admiration on his face. He seemed to have already idolized him!Four years ago, that power that made people guess and speculate came from Rong Ling! Although this...
