Their army caps were placed on their left arms, the badges on the caps were facing front, and they were standing perfectly straight as they gazed at Lin Nuan with torch-like eyes.

The leading soldier wore the rank of colonel. Perhaps because he had constantly been training, his complexion was peach-colored, his facial outline clearly defined, and his thin lips pursed into a straight line, looking stern and solemn.

Lin Nuan, who couldn't understand what was going on, supported herself against the back of the chair before slowly rising to her feet, glancing at Miss Xia with a lost expression.

"Miss Lin, let's talk…" The young leading army officer spoke.

…

Mu Taotao, Fang Yan, and the rest were blocked by the soldiers guarding the entrance.

Fang Yan was a little worried, so after standing at the entrance for a bit, she whipped out her phone and walked to the side to call Fu Huai'an.

After briefly telling him about the situation, Fu Huai'an said that it was fine. He said that he knew about it and that those people were there to look for Lin Nuan for a show. Only then did Fang Yan hang up the phone, though she still felt a little perturbed about it.

On the other end of the line, Fu Huai'an gazed at Tuan Tuan, who had fallen asleep on the office sofa. He picked up his suit jacket, covered the child with it, and stood up. His brows furrowed.

Tuan Tuan had been injured at kindergarten. When the kindergarten teacher called Fu Huai'an, he asked the kindergarten teacher how Tuan Tuan got injured, but the teacher stuttered and couldn't give a clear explanation.

Fu Huai'an asked the men he sent to protect Tuan Tuan to send the child to the Kaide Corporation. Tuan Tuan's injury was quite minor. He had just grazed his palms. However, he had a bad scare…

Someone had gone to the kindergarten in an attempt to abduct Tuan Tuan. Both parties used guns, scaring the child quite a bit.

Fu Huai'an didn't know if the abductors were May Myint Yady's men, though, no matter how Fu Huai'an thought about it, he felt that May Myint Yady's actions couldn't have been so swift. However, other than May Myint Yady, Fu Huai'an couldn't fathom who else might want to abduct Tuan Tuan.

They managed to capture one of the abductors. Tang Zheng was in the midst of questioning him, and they believed that they would get an answer very quickly.

Haicheng had been peaceful all along, but the chilly winds before a major storm… seemed to be pouncing at them from Tuan Tuan.

"Thud thud thud…"

Lu Jinnan knocked on the door, then directly entered.

"Old Fu!"

Lu Jinnan had just pulled open the door and shouted out his name when a frowning Fu Huai'an pointed at the sound asleep Tuan Tuan.

Lu Jinnan swallowed back down what he was going to say as he closed the door in a fuming rage before walking to Fu Huai'an. He set the work arrangement documents on the table, then glanced at Tuan Tuan before speaking in a hushed voice. "Are you mad or what! Are you really going?"

"Let's talk outside!"

Fu Huai'an covered Tuan Tuan with his suit, then went out of the office with Lu Jinnan while only wearing a white shirt, gently closing the door behind him.

In the secretary's office, upon seeing Fu Huai'an come out, Little Lu hurriedly went over. "Sir, what can I help you with?"

"Look after Tuan Tuan. When he gets up, take his temperature and make him a cup of hot milk!" Little Lu knew that Fu Huai'an was going out, so he got someone to retrieve Fu Huai'an's jacket from the wardrobe for him. "Sir is going out. Do you need me to prepare the car?"

"No need, I'm heading out for a smoke!"

Little Lu nodded, then watched as Fu Huai'an and Lu Jinnan left before entering Fu Huai'an's office to guard by Tuan Tuan.

On the rooftop, Lu Jinnan locked the door. Then, after making sure that no one else was around, he walked towards Fu Huai'an.

Amidst the chilly wind and snow, Fu Huai'an lowered his head, his brows furrowed. He shielded the flame with one hand as he lit up the cigarette. The white smoke he exhaled from the corners of his lips was dissipated by the wind blowing at him.

"The people in the military no longer have anything to do with you. Why do you want to put yourself in danger for their sake? May Myint Yady captured people from their army, so why do they insist on you going when they should be the ones to rescue them! Are you silly?"

The howling winds didn't cover Lu Jinnan's fiery voice.

Fu Huai'an tapped the cigarette ashes away. "The four people that May Myint Yady captured are the people who took part in the mission back then!"

"You participated too! And you were the main participant! So you must clearly know May Myint Yady's aim!" Lu Jinnan paced two steps up and down agitatedly, whipping out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and shaking one out to bite at the corner of his lips. Before he lit it, the infuriated Lu Jinnan removed the cigarette from his lips and shouted, "Don't you know that May Myint Yady is doing this to attract you there? Does she really want the lives of those four people? She wants your life, Fu Huai'an! The military isn't sending you any reinforcements, merely saying that the country won't be responsible for any of your actions! And you're keeping those teams around to protect Haicheng. Then what are you going there alone for? To deliver your head?"

Fu Huai'an spoke. "Today, if it were any other people, I wouldn't go. But it's those four…"

"If it were anyone else, you would still go!" Lu Jinnan's hand was trembling as he wielded the cigarette. He had just sent the cigarette to his lips and had yet to press the lighter when he removed it in frustration again. "These are just your excuses! Last time, you rescued Qin Zhe! When Qin Zhe asked you to help send him to Dubai, you helped! You even went to help and came back with an injury! Let me ask you, what if that Xing Feng was captured? Would you say that Xing Feng is your ex-comrade and that you have to rescue him?"

Looking at the increasingly heavy snow, Fu Huai'an couldn't feel a sense of warmth being in the midst of it. The redness on his fingertips that was visible one moment and indistinct the next was the only color that represented warmth.

Amidst the heavy snow and dark skies in Haicheng, Fu Huai'an's deep-set and handsome features appeared calm, his eyes appearing dark and unfathomable.

"Fu Huai'an, you're human, not a god! You can't possibly rescue everyone! Before you rescue others, you've got first to rescue yourself! Rescue Tuan Tuan, who was nearly abducted today, and rescue your wife, Lin Nuan!" Lu Jinnan's throat vibrated at the mention of Lin Nuan.

He bit the cigarette and lit it up, then said to Fu Huai'an, "You clearly know how much Lin Nuan is afraid of you delving into danger. Last time, you ignored Lin Nuan's attempts to stop you and came back with an injury! How are you going to explain it to Lin Nuan this time? Do you think that she will let you go? Besides, what is Lin Nuan to do after you leave? What about Tuan Tuan? What is Xiao Liuli, who Old Gu asked you to take care of, to do? Do you not know you have a wife and a son?"

Looking at the agitated Lu Jinnan, Fu Huai'an could only say, "The military side has already invited Xiao Nuan to stay with the army to do a show. Now is a critical period, so it's safest for Xiao Nuan to stay among the army! Everyone else remaining will stay to protect Yun Liuli. Tuan Tuan… I plan to hand him to his uncle."

"Tuan Tuan's uncle?" Lu Jinnan was surprised. He never knew that Tuan Tuan had an uncle.

If Tuan Tuan had an uncle, what had that uncle been doing all along? He had never revealed himself in all those years as Tuan Tuan grew up!

Fu Huai'an nodded, the white smoke exhaled from the sides of his mouth dissipated by the wind. "Lu Xiangsi's older brother, Cen Mo…"

Lu Jinnan paused in surprise, unable to react for a moment. He distinctly remembered that last time, at the hospital, he heard Lin Chen calling Cen Mo Lu something… Back then, Lu Jinnan didn't think too much about it.

If he was Tuan Tuan's uncle… and also had the surname Lu, then that made him Lu Xiangsi's older brother?
