After visiting Lin Miao at prison, Zhang Mei set her sights on the capital. However, the thought of the long journey ahead gave her pause. She was a lone woman and the road was fraught with danger. She had just had a heated argument with Gu Shan, and she knew better than to expect any help from him. Yet, she was not bothered by his indifference. She had her own ways of managing.

Zhang Mei sought out Gong Zhan’s secretary, Mo Li, and asked her to accompany her to the capital. “Mo Li,” she said, “you are my son-in-law’s secretary. Given the trouble he’s in, it’s only right that you come with me. Perhaps you could also arrange for a couple of his guards to escort us.”

Mo Li was surprised that Zhang Mei had approached her, but then she realized that Zhang Mei was counting on her ability to command the guards. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement, as Mo Li had her eyes on the status that came with being Zhang Mei’s confidant.

Upon hearing of Gong Zhan’s predicament, Mo Li had been fretting over how to take leave and make her way to the capital. Now, with a valid reason handed to her on a silver platter, she had no reason to refuse. That very day, Zhang Mei and Mo Li, accompanied by two guards, set off for the capital.

Meanwhile, at the capital’s train station, Gu Zi and her party had endured several days of jostling on the train and had finally arrived.

Su Li, looking at the train station that was even larger than the one in Guangcheng City, was filled with excitement. He wanted to run ahead, but remembering his mother’s worry, he obediently held the hand of a guard as they exited the station.

No sooner had they stepped out than two military vehicles pulled up in front of them. From each vehicle, a soldier clad in uniform disembarked, their imposing presence undeniable. However, as they approached Gu Zi, their demeanor softened into respect. “Madam,” they greeted, “we are Commander Su’s security team, here to escort you to the guesthouse. Please, get in the car.”

The two soldiers, though maintaining a professional exterior, were inwardly astounded. Their commander’s wife was incredibly beautiful and exuded an air of elegance. They had never seen a woman so stunning, even more so than Miss Hu Jie. And she looked so young, surely much younger than Commander Su?

Behind closed doors, they speculated about the kind of extraordinary woman who could effortlessly win over their military region’s war wolf. A woman who had made the war wolf give up his power and risk his life just to return to her side. Now that they had seen her, they agreed: she was indeed worth it.

Gu Zi had never experienced such treatment before, and for a moment, she was taken aback. She turned to Jin Long and asked, “Does Su Shen have a security team here?”

Jin Long laughed. He had been equally stunned the first time he came to the capital with Brother Shen, but having been through it before, he calmly replied, “Indeed, even though Brother Shen is a regimental commander, he is a very important person here. Even the brigade commanders are his subordinates. It’s no big deal for the higher-ups to arrange a security team for him.”

Gu Zi quickly regained her composure, got into the car, and thought to herself that the older man was really something. Others had security guards, but he had a security team! His two sons were also surprised, thinking their father was so cool!

The car started moving, and soon, the group arrived at the guesthouse. Gu Zi was arranged a two-bedroom suite, which had everything she could possibly need. She didn’t have to worry about anything, and there was even food provided three times a day. The service was even better than that of the hotels outside.

Jin Long looked on with envy, “Ah, it would be nice if I were also a military family member. Sister-in-law, you take the children to rest first, and I’ll go and find out about Brother Shen’s situation.”

Gu Zi had been on the train for several days, and even though she had a sleeper berth, she felt as if she had been tortured, with her body aching all over. She needed to rest first, so she let the two brothers go to the other room. After taking a bath, she went to sleep in the master bedroom with Lele. She slept until evening, and just as she was getting up and washing up, she heard a frantic knocking at the door.

Gu Zi went to open the door, and the two brothers also came out of their room. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Jin Long panting heavily, joyfully reporting the latest news, “Sister-in-law, the main force has made contact with Brother Shen. He is now being treated for his wounds. Isn’t it miraculous? The person who has been missing for so many days, as soon as you arrive, we make contact. You really are Brother Shen’s lucky star!”

Gu Zi was also surprised and delighted. Finally, she could see the older man. She quickly asked, “Where is he now? Take us to him quickly.”

Jin Long said, “Don’t worry, I’ve got everything under control. He’s in the military hospital. I’ll take you there now.”

Gu Zi quickly went in to pick up the sleeping Su Le, and with the two boys, followed Jin Long to the Capital Military Hospital. As soon as they entered the hospital, they smelled the strong scent of disinfectant mixed with the thick smell of blood.

Looking around, they saw medical staff rushing a dozen or so wounded soldiers to the emergency room. Thinking that Su Shen might be one of these wounded soldiers, Gu Zi could only suppress her fear and try to make out the faces of each of the bloodied soldiers.

However, after looking at all of them, she didn’t find any wounded soldiers who looked like Su Shen. It wasn’t until the next corner that she saw a familiar figure in the distance.
