Mr.President, Let's Get a Divorce-Chapter 416 - 410 Familiar person, Qing Luo

Even if it was not the largest one, it definitely arrived at a sizeable one, judging from the number of red dots revealed in the images alone.

Song Lili took a deep breath,

"What do we do now?"

She had just finished asking when the vehicle’s communication link came through—it was Feng Hua’s call,

"Xiao Lingzi, we’re going to be getting closer to those two small towns we passed earlier. Should we continue forward?"

Song Yangling glanced at Wen Nian,

"Mr. President?"

"The towns ahead are densely packed with red dots. We can’t reach Chuihai without going through them..."

Song Lili murmured, "But the people in these towns... they all seem very suspicious. If they were just ordinary villagers, how could they have suddenly disappeared earlier?"

"There are pursuers behind us..."

Feeling trapped between forces from the front and back was very unpleasant.

Wen Nian examined the map with care, and after a thorough search, he finally locked onto a location,

"Let’s go here."

"This is... the mountain top?"

Song Lili was taken aback, "Are we running to the mountain top now?"

"We have no other choice."

As soon as Wen Nian finished speaking, Qin Shu immediately sent the coordinates to Cong Han.

The pursuers behind them were closing in fast, but Song Lili managed to discern a pattern,

"Their pursuit routes have been diverging from their previous positions..."

"That location is where Ah Zhi and Xiaoer hid in the cave," frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

Wen Nian explained.

This explanation easily alleviated Song Lili’s previous worry about the entire Mountain Range District being monitored.

If there truly was full-range surveillance, their actions would have been an encirclement, not dispersing as they were now—it was clear that they were searching along several divided fronts.

Song Lili let out a sigh of relief; this was better.

Going to the mountaintop was also good—take a favorable position, survey the surroundings thoroughly. It’s much safer and more secure than rushing towards Chuihai Harbor without any regard for time.

The two off-road vehicles followed the mountain road upwards—ninety-six twisting turns. The climb was unpleasant for everyone.

Song Yangling and Cong Han, both driving, sweated with every grasp; some of the bends were so sharp and abrupt they nearly veered off the mountain’s edge.

Fortunately, the mountaintop was relatively flat. After parking the vehicles, everyone got out. Qin Shu walked to a side and vomited fiercely!

Lu Xiaoer wasn’t feeling great either, nauseous with dizziness and a rolling stomach.

Zhongli Wuzhi was the most distraught one, hunched over and vomiting until the world spun, tears streaming.

Song Lili and Wen Nian, on the other hand, were relatively fine.

They sat down on a rock; it was already 5 p.m.

The sky in G-country darkened early; it was only five o’clock, yet the sunset had already turned half the sky red.

Wen Nian opened the holographic images to monitor the pursuers, who were lingering at the bottom of the mountain,

"They probably didn’t expect us to not hurry off but instead come up here to the mountaintop to cool off..."

Song Lili murmured.

Wen Nian sat cross-legged, his expression stern as he observed the images,

"What are you doing?"

Song Lili saw Wen Nian entering a long string of codes.

"Didn’t you say you wanted to monitor the entire Mountain Range District?"

"..."

Song Lili blinked, when had she said that? She meant—

"You’re kidding, right?"

She blinked her eyes towards Wen Nian,

"This requires controlling a satellite to take pictures, plus since we’re in M-country’s territory, it might need some time for encryption. We also have to wait for the shooting process..."

"..."

Song Lili looked at Wen Nian,

"What other cool gadgets do you have on you?"

"Guess?"

"Isn’t the M-country government forbidding you from bringing weapons?"

"I didn’t bring weapons; this is just a watch,"

Wen Nian said with a smile.

Song Lili glanced at him.

"The best thing about this watch is it can pass security checks."

Wen Nian elaborated.

"You bringing this kind of thing... It’s like having a cheat code,"

Song Lili couldn’t help but remark.

At least for the short term, this "mini-nuclear" functional military equipment was like having a cheat code in the military realm.

"I’m not like you,"

Wen Nian said with a smile,

"I don’t want to charge into a war-torn country completely unprepared like some fool."

"What do you mean? Who are you calling a fool?"

Song Lili reached out to twist his arm, and Wen Nian winced,

"Ali, I’ve found that over these few years in the military, you really have become wilder."

"Wild? Do you want to see what’s even wilder?"

Song Lili’s eyebrows were highly arched, her eyes narrowing menacingly at him.

Who knew Wen Nian, in the next second, would wrap his arms around her shoulder and pull her into his embrace, smiling softly...

They waited for the pictures to be taken, meanwhile enjoying this moment of tranquility.

The sunset was beautiful, especially watching it from the mountain—just before nightfall, mist began to rise between the hills, the tendrils of smoke casting a sinuous haze in front of the sun, adding a touch of graceful obscurity to its beauty.

"Did you come here... sneaking away?"

Song Lili asked.

She already knew the answer without having to ask.

Up to now, she hadn’t heard any mention of reinforcement troops, with four members of the "Osprey" assault team together with the President.

"No,"

Wen Nian denied flat out, "Qu Yu knows."

"Only Qu Yu?"

"Minister Long knows as well."

"..."

Song Lili turned her head to look at his profile, "Does the Vice President know?"

She didn’t want to hear him beating around the bush, so she asked directly.

Wen Nian paused for a moment and didn’t immediately answer.

"Wen Nian, you really are..."

"I told you to wait for me, and didn’t you agree quite readily?"

"I thought by wait for me, you meant wait for the rescue troops you arranged! How was I supposed to know you would act so recklessly!"

Wen Nian looked at her, his eyes steady. His gaze was fixed firmly on her,

"Who exactly is the reckless one, you or me?"

"..."

Song Lili wanted to retort but ultimately fell silent.

She knew that he was still somewhat angry with her...

She also knew that during the time she and Zhongli Wuzhi were in M country, every minute and second for him was spent in worry and fear...

His eye sockets were very dark. He seemed to be in good condition, but the eyes don’t lie, and his were already filled with exhaustion.

"I had no choice. Just like you couldn’t rest easy letting someone else rescue Lu Xiaoer, I couldn’t trust anyone else to rescue you."

"..."

"If I wasn’t here, I would feel like I hadn’t done everything I could. As your husband, that would mean I’m failing at my job."

Wen Nian let out a soft sigh, took her right hand, and looking at the plain ring on her ring finger, he broke into a knowing smile,

"What does this mean... Is it what I think it is?"

Song Lili’s face turned red. She tried to pull her hand away, but failed. Clearing her throat, she said,

"You’re asking even though you know... Stop pretending!"

Wen Nian was overjoyed and leaned in to firmly kiss her on the cheek.

"You—!"

Song Lili was embarrassed by the kiss, and instinctively looked around, only to see that the soldiers had tactfully turned away, carrying on with their conversations, and the one who was vomiting was still at it!

"Sit tight, it’s not often we get to watch the sunset together..."

"You really are in a leisurely mood."

Song Lili couldn’t help but tease him again.

"Do you still remember when we were in our teens, how we climbed to the top of the mountain..."

Wen Nian murmured, his tone quite suggestive.

Song Lili’s memories stretched back as well... to her teenage years, which for her, were more than twenty years ago...

Truly stretching quite far back.

"Time flies, doesn’t it?"

"Yeah, it goes by quickly."

Truly, too quickly.

In the blink of an eye, she was now a forty-year-old woman, indeed.

"Once our child is born and can understand speech, I’m going to start complaining to him..."

"Complaining?"

Song Lili was taken aback, "You’re going to be a father... Why be so unconventional?"

"I want to tell him how hard it was to chase after his mother. How hard it was to keep him..."

Wen Nian’s words were cut short as Song Lili gave him a sharp look,

"Don’t take credit for yourself, it was me who struggled to keep the child. Did you even help?"

Wen Nian’s eyes widened,

"Ali, didn’t I... help?"

As soon as Song Lili heard these words, she realized that Wen Nian’s implication was deep with meaning!

"You..."

Annoyed with him, she stopped talking.

"Do you think... it’s going to be a boy or a girl?"

"Do you want a boy or a girl?"

"... as long as it’s our child, I want it."

Song Lili smiled, "It’s a boy."

"How do you know?"

"It’s in my belly, how could I not know?"

Song Lili said proudly.

In their past life, the child they had lost was a boy...

"A boy... what should his name be?"

"Ah Nian, are you really... that free right now? Besides, isn’t it too early to be thinking of names for the child?"

Wen Nian rubbed his chin, regardless of what Song Lili said; he was already considering names for the child.

Song Lili was speechless, "Little troublemaker."

"What?"

"His nickname will be ’little troublemaker’; I’ve decided."

"A little missile?"

Wen Nian blinked, "Hey, that’s not bad. Wife, you’re really talented!"

"His appearance has completely disrupted my original plans; if he’s not a troublemaker, what is he?"

Song Lili muttered.

Wen Nian froze for a second, realizing that their ’missile’ was not the same thing at all...

"Alright, alright, have the pictures been transmitted over?"

Song Lili looked at the holographic image and asked urgently.

Wen Nian glanced at it, opening the images one by one. As each photo unfolded, their expressions grew more serious.

The rest of the team were called over by Wen Nian, and the images were rolled out for them too.

Everyone’s faces were rigid,

"Mr. President... it seems impossible to get out through the mountain road."

Song Lili stroked her chin,

"Judging from the scale, there must be tens of thousands of soldiers hidden in the mountains, and that’s just what’s been captured. There are more not seen, hidden in the rooms..."

"Who is this person?"

Wen Nian picked out a photo and enlarged the image, revealing a person wearing a mask, dressed noticeably different from the others.

He looked up slightly, and at that moment, it seemed as if the person in the image was looking right at them.

Song Lili leaned closer, her heart thudding...

"Qing Luo."
