A Warning

Lin Nannan smiled and said, "Of course you should go! You didn’t do anything wrong!"

"Right. Once he’s out, bring your wife along. If he dares to do anything, have her put him in his place so he’ll never dare to show his face around you again," Lu Hang suggested.

Jiang Qianqian’s eyes lit up with anticipation. "Okay!"

The idea of taking Feng Wu down in public thrilled her.

...

Lu Hang didn’t ask around about Zhu Yu’s interrogation. Since he had already left the military, many matters were inconvenient to inquire about unless someone volunteered the information.

Perhaps because the whole incident involved him, Zhang Shengguo, who hadn’t appeared for days, came by and brought news that was hard to classify as good or bad.

"Zhu Yu finally confessed. They’re still after you. They once sent someone to your hometown to try to harm you..." His words turned Lu Hang and the others pale.

Sneaking up on Lu Hang wouldn’t work since he rarely left home. But if they went scorched-earth, not only the Lu family but even the whole village might pay the price.

"Is it because I came to the city that they didn’t act?" Lu Hang asked calmly.

"Maybe," Zhang Shengguo said, though he couldn’t be sure. He solemnly warned, "We can’t be certain, and we don’t know if they’ll stop after Zhu Yu’s arrest. Keep your guard up when you return."

Lin Nannan suddenly thought of something and asked Lu Hang, "Was it them who killed that boar in the hills?"

They could have taken the boar but fled hastily upon hearing footsteps, afraid of leaving traces.

Lu Hang nodded. "It must have been them. The village head searched but found no clues."

"Good thing they bolted!" Lin Nannan muttered, resolving to keep an eye on the hills more often. If they dared, she’d handle them.

"You still need to be careful," Zhang Shengguo reminded.

"Thanks, Commander. We’ll be careful," Lu Hang said gratefully.

This intel was a big favor.

Just as the atmosphere lightened, Lin Nannan looked at Zhang Shengguo and asked, "Commander Zhang, since Zhu Yu was caught thanks to my sketch, the reward’s gotta be huge, yeah?"

Though he’d heard it before, Zhang Shengguo still found it amusing and humored her. "Yes, don’t worry. I’ll send it over tomorrow."

He had brought it up to ensure her contribution wasn’t overlooked.

Given the significance of Zhu Yu’s confession and the wide-reaching implications, the reward was indeed generous.

The next day, Zhang Shengguo arrived with not only mugs and a hot-water bottle but also fifty yuan in cash and various other small items. Lin Nannan accepted everything without hesitation, her no-nonsense attitude winning people over.

Zhang Shengguo sighed regretfully. "Too bad A Hang can’t come back. Otherwise, Nannan’s personality would get along great with my wife."

"Maybe one day, if Lu Hang recovers, he can go back!" Lin Nannan said, saying it like she meant it.

But no one took it seriously—except Lu Hang.

"If he recovers, of course he can return!" Zhang Shengguo said casually. Yet when Lu Hang later stood before him, fully healed, he was too stunned to speak.
