Chapter 401 I have a boyfriend, you don't.
Reading Settings
"Twins?" Bai Nuo raised an eyebrow, not too surprised by the answer, and chuckled lightly: "And then?"
She didn't believe that Jin Zicheng's investigation only revealed so little.
Jin Zicheng couldn't help but smile as well, looking at Bai Nuo with a hint of appreciation: "As expected of our 917 brothers, you're really perceptive."
"Speak your mind, stop flattering my boyfriend!" Fang Meng raised his arm, reaching over Bai Nuo's head, and rudely pushed away Jin Zicheng's large head that was leaning towards him.
"Is it really necessary for you? You just have a girlfriend, what's there to be so proud of?" Jin Zicheng glared at the stingy brat through gritted teeth.
"Oh!" Fang Meng proudly raised his chin and asked smugly, "I do have a boyfriend, and he's super amazing. Don't you have one?"
"I……"
He didn't!
"I'm talking to you two!" Leng Rong, who had been listening attentively to the analysis, couldn't take it anymore and kicked each of the two childish kids, who were no more than three years old combined, in the buttocks, and scolded them irritably.
"We're talking about serious business, what are you making a fuss about?"
The two younger brothers, whose combined age was no more than three, immediately became quiet.
Bai Nuo watched the three of them playing around with a smile, and at the same time, she deeply understood what Fang Meng had once said.
917 is indeed a very special place, making it hard not to like it.
Special Operations Team 917 is a secret military unit, powerful, brave, and resolute. They are comrades-in-arms and family to each other.
The commander is like a patriarch guarding the rear, single-handedly providing his children with a safe haven to roam freely.
The group leader is the old woman who's always busy and worried about those brats.
Most of the comrades here were recruited by the organization from all over the country. Some of them were secretly protected when they were young. They lived, trained, and fought together.
They are comrades-in-arms, family members, and brothers who have faced life and death together.
Although Fang Meng had only been in the team for four years, he was probably the youngest and had saved his commander's life on the battlefield. So, the older brothers in the team always treated Fang Meng like the youngest brother in their family. Occasionally, when the older brothers would scold him, Fang Meng would never take it to heart. If they did, he would grab them and beat them up, but after the beating, they would be good brothers again.
Bai Nuo was able to be accepted by the rest of the team so quickly not only because of her strength, but also because of Fang Meng.
Otherwise, Jin Zicheng wouldn't have been able to send someone to investigate Bai Nuo's roommate without hesitation or doubt after just one phone call.
Especially after what happened tonight, the previously somewhat distant relationship has suddenly become much closer.
After making a fuss for a while, and seemingly casually passing by a night patrol team, Jin Zicheng made sure there were no outsiders around before continuing his story.
According to the recollections of the local elders, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shi family was indeed pregnant with twins. Her belly was so big that experienced elders could tell. However, after giving birth, only a girl was brought out.
The child was born at home, and the old lady of the Shi family delivered the baby herself. To outsiders, she only said that her daughter-in-law was pregnant with good food, which is why her belly was so big.
No one in the village had actually seen the Shi family's twins, so they gradually came to believe the story. But I always felt something was off. We secretly approached the village elders at different times, and the result was that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shi family's belly looked like she was carrying twins, because someone in the neighboring village had also been pregnant with twins years ago, and they looked remarkably alike.
The four of them were silent for a while, then Fang Meng looked up at Jin Zicheng.
"This matter needs to be further investigated."
Leng Rong nodded: "That's right. I remember a mission we took on before, a remote and impoverished village where people were almost starving. It turned out that there were three enemy agent families in that village, all of them remnants of the invasion of the enemy country, from the old to the young. If the village where the Shi family lived didn't have the old custom of considering twins unlucky, then this family definitely had something going on."
“That’s what I think too!” Jin Zicheng nodded and continued, “My brothers in the team have inquired and found out that there’s no such thing in that village. If they were sexist, they wouldn’t have killed one child and left behind a girl, who was then pampered. The key point is that Xiao Nuo’s roommate’s parents moved to the city ten years ago. They are well-off and treat their daughter quite well. There’s really no indication that they have a serious sexist mentality.”
Don't worry, I will definitely investigate the entire Shi family genealogy thoroughly.
Bai Nuo smiled and nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Zicheng. Once this is confirmed, our Fifth Team will take on this task."
“We’re family, no need to be so polite with me, don’t worry!” Jin Zicheng nodded readily.
They originally had a clear division of labor. Although other teams would also take on missions, assassination and ambush missions were not exclusive to Team Four and Team Five, but most of the missions with a higher probability of danger were undertaken by the brothers of Team Four and Team Five.
They were the main force that risked their lives and charged into battle, so the other three teams would be willing to do logistical work for them.
When there are merits, they belong to everyone; but when it comes to life-threatening tasks, the two main teams take on the responsibility. If the three teams don't do their best in other tasks, then they don't deserve this uniform, let alone the word "brother" from their comrades.
Therefore, even though most of the work in the other three teams was logistical preparation or preliminary investigation, they always did their best and were willing to do so.
When they arrived at the entrance of the family compound, Bai Nuo told them to go back, including Fang Meng, who wanted to spend more time with his partner.
He was dragged away by two brothers who were both single, one on each side, by their arms.
When Bai Nuo got home, Zhu Kaixuan had just returned not long ago. He was gathered around Fugui'er and Huahua, looking at something and whispering to each other.
Of course, it was Zhu Kaixuan's one-sided muttering, with Fugui'er and Huahua occasionally responding with a helpless remark.
Anyway, the other party didn't understand what it meant, but it didn't seem to affect the communication between the three of them.
"Dad, what are you showing them?"
Bai Nuo pushed open the courtyard gate and walked in.
"My daughter's back! Come and see, Daddy brought you some good things." Zhu Kaixuan waved excitedly to his beloved daughter as soon as she returned.
Bai Nuo walked over curiously, and when she saw what it was, her eyes lit up and she exclaimed excitedly, "Dad, where did this come from?"
