News of Lin Shuang

Lu Hang picked up their daughter and walked over to her, his expression full of tenderness. He said softly with a smile, "I called home, but you weren’t there, so I asked them to keep it a secret. I wanted to surprise you!"

Seeing the person she had missed right before her eyes, Lin Nannan couldn’t help but smile. The joy radiating from within was impossible to hide.

"This really is a huge surprise!" she exclaimed happily.

All her worries vanished the moment she saw him, leaving only pure delight.

"Aah, aah!" Lu Dudu voiced her protest, not wanting to be left out. She even reached out to poke her father’s face, but Lu Hang caught her small hand.

"I know, I know, Daddy missed you too!" Lu Hang kissed her forehead and replied with amusement.

Lin Nannan watched this scene, full of questions.

Zhao Zhi, standing nearby, suppressed a laugh and explained, "As soon as Dudu saw her dad, she started crying loudly. Anyone who didn’t know better would’ve thought we’d mistreated her. After she finished crying, she began chattering excitedly, though no one understood what she was complaining about. She insisted on her dad playing along, and we were all laughing so hard our stomachs hurt."

This was the first time Lin Nannan had heard of such a thing, and she was quite astonished.

She hadn’t expected that after being apart for some time, Lu Dudu still remembered Lu Hang and showed no trace of unfamiliarity. Was this the bond of blood?

No one knew why she was upset, but now she was seriously "talking" to Lu Hang with "ah, ah" sounds. Though no one could understand her, it strangely felt like she was expressing her displeasure.

What could Lu Hang do? He doted on his daughter anyway. He could only nod along, not daring to shake his head even slightly. It took some effort to finally coax a smile out of her.

In the end, it was Feng Xi who distracted her with a bowl of fragrant rice paste.

Knowing that the couple had been apart for a long time, everyone was about to leave after a few words, but Lu Hang stopped them.

"Dudu interrupted us earlier. There’s something I need to tell you," Lu Hang said, holding Lin Nannan’s hand as he spoke to the Lin family.

The Lin family members exchanged glances, their eyes filled with reluctance, recalling what Lin Nannan had mentioned before...

"When are you planning to leave?" Zhou Cuiwei asked hesitantly.

The only thing that could make Lu Hang so serious was surely taking Lin Nannan and their daughter back with him.

Lu Hang was taken aback by her question but then shook his head. "No, it’s not that. When we leave will be up to Nan Nan. What I wanted to say is... during my recent mission, I happened to rescue Lin Shuang..."

"What?!" Everyone, including Lin Nannan, was stunned. Some even cried out in surprise, clearly overwhelmed by the shock.

"Really? You really saved Shuangshuang? Where is she? Is she okay now?" The elderly woman, who had never been able to let go of her youngest granddaughter, was especially emotional. Though they had almost given up hope, thinking that no news might be the best news, they never expected to receive such good news—Lin Shuang had been rescued.

She was so emotional, and Zhou Cuiwei and the others, fearing she might overexert herself, quickly helped her sit down. Some fetched water while others gently patted her back, afraid she might faint from the excitement.

"Just tell us already! Grandma is about to faint!" Lin Nannan, equally eager to know what had happened, urged him.

Lu Hang quickly explained, "Our mission this time was to take down those colluding with foreign forces. We had already planned it out beforehand. I met Lin Shuang earlier, and she even helped us at a critical moment, which ensured the mission’s success. However, she was injured during the process. To prevent any leaks, we placed her under protection. She’s still in recovery..."

His words, however, did not bring much joy to the Lin family. Instead, a bad feeling settled in their hearts...
