Mr.President, Let's Get a Divorce-Chapter 404 - 400 Would you like to join us to pick someone up? Who are we picking up? Why such a big honor?
Chapter 404: 400 Would you like to join us to pick someone up? Who are we picking up? Why such a big honor?
Late at night, the streets of Anlin were quiet, unlike the current situation in Caesar.
"You don’t have to be nervous, once you leave President Mansion, you no longer need to treat me as the unapproachable President, even breathing so cautiously."
Wen Nian said indifferently.
Other than the sound of the car driving, there was the magnetic voice of Wen Nian speaking.
Having served as Wen Nian’s presidential escort for over four months, Song Yangling had a somewhat better mindset than the others. He licked his lips and asked,
"Mr. President, what task are you deploying us for this time?"
"It’s hard to say."
These three words from Wen Nian embarrassed Song Yangling a bit. Asking too little, he felt puzzled; asking too much, he feared being disliked by Mr. President. freewёbnoνel.com
"If things go smoothly, we just need to take a warship to pick up a few people. If not, we might need to infiltrate country M to rescue someone."
"..."
Song Yangling feigned composure, but his heart was already in turmoil.
The difference between smooth and not smooth was indeed too great.
"Mr. President, the uniform you are wearing today seems to be from Xilin, but not quite..."
"I enlisted when I was sixteen, headed to Xilin, it’s an old-style uniform. The ones you wore later have been modified several times."
Wen Nian replied casually, his voice very gentle. If one were to overlook his presidential status, anyone would find him endearing.
"Mr. President, are you going with us to pick up someone?"
"Otherwise?"
Wen Nian smiled and glanced at Song Yangling.
Song Yangling, who was driving, felt the piercing gaze from beside him and immediately stiffened.
"I wonder... Mr. President, who are you going to pick up?"
Song Yangling probed, not really wanting to ask, yet he inadvertently glanced in the rearview mirror and clearly saw the coercive gaze of the three people in the back seat!
After asking, he cleared his throat and hurriedly added, "Is it confidential?"
"It is confidential."
Wen Nian stated firmly, "However, you can know. The person we are going to pick up, you are very acquainted with."
Very acquainted?
Everyone’s mind seemed to be hanging with a question mark.
"Your former captain, Tang Xiaohua."
"Captain Xiao Hua?!"
Qin Shu was the first to break down! His eyes widened, "Captain Xiao Hua went to... M country?!"
From the rearview mirror, Wen Nian glanced at the most agitated Qin Shu and narrowed his eyes,
"A friend of hers met with disaster in Caesar, and she took it upon herself to go to Caesar..."
Wen Nian briefly explained the situation in simple terms.
The originally silent atmosphere in the car suddenly felt like several flames had ignited!
After a surge of heated emotions, touched by Captain Xiao Hua’s deep loyalty, Qin Shu’s gaze landed on the President at the front...
His gaze intently set on Mr. President. Captain Xiao Hua was in M country, and Mr. President himself was actually going to pick her up?
Qin Shu’s feelings for Tang Xiaohua had always been blurred; admiration, respect, perhaps even deeper...
Thus, he was the first to realize this issue, followed soon by the others.
As their gazes shifted from disparate to unified, all looking at Wen Nian’s back, Wen Nian seemed to have sensed it and casually added,
"Oh, your Captain Xiao Hua, has another name, called Song Lili, and she is my wife."
"...!?"
"..."
The atmosphere in the car returned to calm, as everyone was busy digesting this shocking news.
Qin Shu was the one most impacted.

When Zhongli Wuzhi drove into Chuihai territory, it was already 5:30 AM according to the time in Country M.
Song Lili had already slept a bit, and Lu Xiaoer had finished receiving all the fluids she needed.
"Let me drive."
They stopped at a gas station to refuel. Except for Lu Xiaoer, the other two got out to stretch their legs, and Song Lili said to Zhongli,
"Can you manage?"
Zhongli Wuzhi wasn’t stubborn.
"I can, Wen Nian sent the location, it’s just over two hours’ drive."
Song Lili replied.
After refueling, Song Lili went inside the convenience store to pay.
After paying, she was heading out when the TV hanging above in the convenience store was broadcasting the latest battle situation and domestic conditions:
"The government has issued one last warning to the rebel army organization, you must stop all armed actions immediately! Such actions are the acts of devils!"
"If you do not repent, the Government Army will definitely concentrate all firepower to strike you!"
Song Lili took a deep breath. She looked at the store owner who just shrugged and said,
"It’s only the innocent civilians who suffer..."
Song Lili nodded, not saying anything. She had just stepped out of the convenience store when she heard from the TV,
"The Government Army has discovered a large-scale rebel army moving from Chuihai towards Caesar, and their route is exactly the highway from Caesar to Chuihai, and they are boldly moving against the traffic!"
Song Lili stiffened, stopping in her tracks to continue watching the news, her fists clenching tighter!
The store owner also frowned,
"These rebels want to destroy our country..."
"I want to ask you, is the route mentioned the same one we are on now?"
Song Lili asked urgently.
"Yes, this gas station will become a must-pass destination."
"Thank you."
Having said that, Song Lili ran up to Zhongli Wuzhi and informed him of the changing situation.
Zhongli Wuzhi cursed out loud!
"We need to turn back, exit from the next junction ahead. I’ll contact Wen Nian again to see if Chuihai port is still an option."
Song Lili had already gotten into the car and Zhongli Wuzhi sat in the passenger seat, continuing to curse.
Terrifyingly, just as Song Lili had turned the car around, they could hear the distant sounds of an advancing army—military trucks, Jeeps, large equipment vehicles, the rumbling noise appeared to mix with tanks...
Song Lili floored the accelerator, heading back!
Unexpectedly, within minutes, the rearview mirror revealed the advance units of the army. The well-equipped rebel soldiers on military motorcycles were at the end of the road, advancing at a considerable speed.
"What do we do?"
On this journey, Zhongli Wuzhi had witnessed the ruthlessness of the rebel army.
These people were utterly inhumane in combat!
If they were caught or overtaken...
Song Lili understood the situation better than Zhongli Wuzhi, but she narrowed her eyes upon seeing their so advanced and sophisticated weaponry, sparking doubts...
Not long ago, the international media were still saying that the government army’s weapon equipment was insufficient to initiate a civil war.
Yet now, on the battlefield, seeing them use advanced, highly destructive weapons so liberally...
Where did all these come from?
"Bang! Bang bang!"
Gunshots rang out from behind the car! Song Lili floored the accelerator,
"Zhongli, keep your head down as much as you can! Fasten the seat belt tight!"
Continuous gunfire echoed from behind, Song Lili furrowed her brows, wanting to glance at the rearview mirror, but was horrified to discover a motorcycle had already appeared on her left side, a helmeted rebel soldier was pointing a pistol at her with one hand—
