The Special Forces operatives were well-disguised and hidden motionless in the jungle for over an hour. As the sun gradually rose and slightly illuminated the jungle, they finally spotted the target of their mission.
Su Chaoyang's handsome face was thoroughly covered with combat paint, only his eagle-like sharp eyes were clearly visible.
Once again confirming that the group was their mission target, he gave a command into his microphone; "Attention everyone, follow my command and make sure nothing goes wrong."
With his command, a barrage of gunshots echoed through the silent depths of the jungle, initiating a bloody combat of life and death. A thick cloud of gunpowder immediately enveloped the jungle...

A few months later.
When Mu Xiangwan came home, it was already past nine in the evening. Mrs. Mu looked at her daughter's cool attire and frowned unhappily, "Xiaowan, where did you go tonight? You've returned so late."
The girl, already near the stairs, turned her head at her mother's words. She showed a slightly surprised expression on her delicate oval face, "Huh? Mom, you're still awake?"
Mrs. Mu knew her daughter sweet talks when she is about to be spoiled and defiant, she coldly replied, "How can I sleep when you're not back? Your father is so engrossed with his military stuff that he never checks up on you, if I don't, you will definitely become unruly!"
Mu Xiangwan puckered her lips at the staircase entrance, swayed her slim body submissively, "Mom, I'm already twenty, can you please not control everything? I know my limits."
"You might know your limits, but what if others don't! Look at you, still a student and dressed like this coming back so late, aren't you afraid of running into trouble!"
Mrs. Mu stood up and walked over to her daughter, scrutinizing her skimpy halterneck and mini skirt, she went on preaching, "You know how chaotic society is these days, why don't you try to protect yourself!"
Ever since that incident nearly happened at home four years ago, Mrs. Mu has become extremely strict in protecting her daughter.
Mu Xiangwan thought that finally using tactics to drive her older brother out of this home meant she could live a worry-free life. But unexpectedly, her mother was traumatized by that incident and always kept an eye on her.
She really didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, whether it was a self-inflicted problem or just a matter of reaping what one sows!
"Oh, mom, I get it. I was with classmates, not running wild. Stop worrying, good night!" Afraid of her mother's endless preaching, Mu Xiangwan rushed to finish her response and hurried up the stairs.
Mrs. Mu couldn't handle her ever-rebellious daughter, she could only sigh helplessly. Suddenly remembering something, she shouted to her daughter, "Almost forgot to tell you, Chaoyang is coming home!"
Her hand already on the doorknob, Mu Xiangwan was shocked by this news. She quickly strode to the stair railing and looked down at her mother, "Mom, what did you say?!"
"I said, Chaoyang is coming home, on leave. Your father told me over the phone today, he specifically asked me to clean up his room."
Mu Xiangwan's heart twitched, and she didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Mu looked at her daughter's expression, thinking she was still haunted by the incident from four years ago, she comforted her softly, "Don't worry, he was young and impulsive back then. But now he's been in the army for a few years, your father told me he's made significant achievements and become a well-known young hero in the entire military. He understands right from wrong now."
