Rebirth of Bloody Romance

The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn and dignified, which made people feel awe.

The soft light shone on the long table, illuminating the furrowed brows of every participant, as if they were thinking about some important issue.

The old man in the lead had a square face full of traces of time, but his eyes were full of wisdom and insight, as if he could see through every corner of people's hearts.

He gently put down the teacup in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he said in a low and powerful voice, "Xiao Zhong, you and I both know that every bit of national interest carries the expectations and hopes of hundreds of millions of people. Any loss will cause an uproar, not to mention that if there is a loss this time, it will definitely be a huge loss. We really can't afford such a price, and we may even bear eternal infamy for it."

Zhong Yuemin listened quietly, raised his head slightly, and his eyes met the old man's. At that moment, there seemed to be a tacit understanding and trust between them that did not require words.

Zhong Yuemin knew very well that the leader's words contained a heavy burden and concealed deep worries about the future.

However, the love and responsibility for the country in his heart was like a burning flame, hot and unstoppable.

Zhong Yuemin had already seen through the leader's intention. This was clearly to ask him to make a promise! However, Zhong Yuemin was happy to see this.

Imagine that vast land of more than one million square kilometers. If you don’t get some interest back now, when should you wait?

"Commander," Zhong Yuemin thought in his heart, his voice low and firm, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, resounding. "Although I, Zhong Yuemin, am just an ordinary person, I also understand the truth that 'the rise and fall of a country is the responsibility of every citizen'. I am willing to issue a military order in my personal name - if this action really brings losses to the country, I am willing to bear the responsibility alone, without any complaints!"

As soon as Zhong Yuemin finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room seemed to freeze. Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhong Yuemin in an instant, with astonishment, admiration, and a hint of imperceptible worry.

Zhong Shanyue sat aside, his face livid, his eyes full of pride and anxiety. He desperately winked at Zhong Yuemin, trying to stop him from continuing.

However, Zhong Yuemin stood firm like an unshakable mountain and ignored his father's hints.

"Yuemin, you..." The old man's voice was a bit complicated, with both admiration and worry. "Do you know the weight of this promise? It not only concerns your personal honor and disgrace, but may also affect your family and even your future..."

Zhong Yuemin smiled slightly, and there was both determination and relief in that smile. "Commander, I, Zhong Yuemin, have known since childhood that there are always things in life that are worth our risk and struggle. For the sake of the country's interests and the dignity of the nation, I am willing to be the one who charges forward. As for personal gains and losses, I have already put them aside."

Zhong Shanyue's expression changed slightly. He knew his son had made a decision, and no matter how he tried to persuade him, it would be useless. He sighed, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. But at the same time, a sense of pride surged in his heart - the man of the Zhong family really did not let him down!

Zhong Yuemin felt his father's gaze, he turned around and looked at Zhong Shanyue. The tacit understanding between the father and son was reflected at this moment, without words, they understood each other's intentions. Zhong Yuemin took a deep breath, straightened his spine, and prepared to meet the next challenge.

"What a great Zhong Yuemin! Shanyue! You have raised a good son." The old man finally broke the silence, his voice was low and firm, as if it contained endless power. His eyes were fixed on Zhong Yuemin, with both admiration and a hint of worry.

The old man nodded slightly, expressing his approval and encouragement. Then, his tone became serious. "Since you have such great ambitions, I will fully support you. But remember, you need to be cautious and have a comprehensive strategy." His words were like a warning bell, reminding Zhong Yuemin to stay calm and rational, and not be blinded by passion.

The meeting room fell into a brief silence, and everyone was thinking about the old man's words. They knew that Zhong Yuemin's decision was not an impulse, but a well-thought-out choice. However, this did not mean that they would blindly follow, but needed more discussion and analysis.

At this moment, a burst of warm applause suddenly rang out. It was an applause from the heart, full of admiration and praise for Zhong Yuemin.

Zhong Yuemin was touched, but he did not become complacent. Instead, he nodded to everyone with gratitude and said that he would do his best to live up to everyone's expectations.

The atmosphere in the conference room gradually became lively, and a heated discussion began around Zhong Yuemin's plan. Some people raised questions, some provided suggestions, and some shared their own experiences and opinions. Zhong Yuemin listened carefully to everyone's speeches and constantly improved his plan.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the conference room became more and more heated. Everyone realized that this decision was related to the safety and future of the country, so it must be treated with caution. Finally, after several hours of debate and negotiation, a preliminary action plan gradually emerged.

Zhong Yuemin, at this moment, used his actions to interpret what true patriotism is. His name, at this moment, was deeply engraved in everyone's heart.

The afterglow of the setting sun is like a layer of golden gauze, gently falling on every corner of the Beihai Courtyard, as if putting a gorgeous coat on this scene full of laughter and joy.

Zhou Xiaobai walked into the gate lightly and was immediately attracted by the cheerful laughter. She smiled and looked towards the center of the yard, only to see Zhong Yuemin with his eyes covered, his hands groping in the air, as if looking for something. In front of him, two children dodged flexibly like little monkeys, with innocent smiles on their faces.

"Girl, son, I tell you two, don't cheat when I catch you again!" Zhong Yuemin deliberately raised his voice, with a hint of majesty in his tone, but he couldn't hide his doting and love for the children. His voice echoed in the spacious courtyard, like a beautiful musical note, making people feel the warmth and happiness of the family.

Zhou Xiaobai stood quietly by the side, watching the scene in front of her, her heart filled with emotion and satisfaction. She knew that although Zhong Yuemin looked a little unruly at ordinary times, he always worked hard for the family. This feeling of fatherly love made her feel very at ease.

Xiao Shihua was smiling as brightly as a flower at this time, and she responded playfully, "Dad, my brother and I are not cheating, it's you who is cheating, okay?" There was a bit of cunning in her words, which made Zhong Yuemin couldn't help laughing out loud.

Zhong Yuemin listened to his clever daughter and was filled with doting. He smiled and said, "Hey...hey...you little girl, you are the one who plays tricks the most. I caught you, but you insisted that it was your brother I caught. This time I caught both of you little rascals, let's see what you have to say."

As Zhong Yuemin spoke, he continued to chase Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haiyang. Xiao Shihua dodged flexibly and laughed like a silver bell from time to time. Zhong Yuemin was not in a hurry and enjoyed this rare parent-child time.

Suddenly, Xiao Shihua stopped and turned to face Zhong Yuemin. She put her hands on her hips, raised her head, and said confidently, "Dad is bragging!" Her voice was clear and pleasant, full of confidence and vitality.

Zhong Yuemin burst into laughter because of her. He knew that Xiao Shihua was very stubborn and would never give up easily. So he pretended to be helpless and shook his head and said, "Okay, let's compete again! Let's see who is better." After that, he started a new round of chasing game.

Little Shihua screamed excitedly and ran faster. Her little face flushed slightly with excitement, and her eyes sparkled with cunning. She knew she couldn't outrun her father, but she still wanted to try her best. After all, playing with her father was the happiest thing for her.

"You little girl, I must catch you today." Zhong Yuemin said fiercely, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Zhong Yuemin stretched out his hand and pretended to touch her, but he didn't expect that Xiao Shihua had already spotted her mother and cleverly hid behind Zhou Xiaobai.

Seeing this, Xiao Haichen also imitated his sister and ran to the other side of Zhou Xiaobai like a little fish, and shouted mischievously, "Zhong Youli, I'm here."

As soon as Xiao Haichen's childish voice came out, it immediately caused a burst of laughter, and even Zhou Xiaobai couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hey hey... you little brat! Do you want to be beaten again?" Zhong Yuemin pretended to be angry, but his tone was full of doting. He waved his hand in pretending to be angry, but the hand never really fell, just gently patted the air as a warning.

"Come on! Come on!" The little girl and Xiao Haichen started to make a noise together, and their laughter echoed throughout the courtyard like silver bells.

Watching this scene, Zhou Xiaobai's heart was filled with unprecedented happiness and satisfaction. She had experienced too many ups and downs over the years, but at this moment, all her troubles were dispelled by the innocence of the children.

Zhong Yuemin heard Zhou Xiaobai's laughter, but he pretended not to know. He moved towards the two children, touched Zhou Xiaobai's hand and shouted, "I caught you this time, didn't I?"

Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen jumped and shouted happily, "Dad is so stupid, he caught Mom instead."

"Zhong Youli is so stupid, even worse than me!"

Zhong Yuemin pulled Zhou Xiaobai into his arms and said, "Then let mom catch us, okay?"

"Yeah!"

"Alright, alright, Yuemin, the kids are just having fun, why are you joining in the fun?"

Zhou Xiaobai smiled and broke free from Zhong Yuemin's hand, gently interrupting their play. When Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen saw their mother coming back, they immediately threw themselves into her arms, with happy smiles on their little faces.

Zhong Yuemin took off the blindfold and glared at the children pretending to be angry, but his eyes were full of doting. "Look, your mother is back. Your savior is here." As he spoke, he walked towards Zhou Xiaobai and gently put his arm around her shoulders. The figures of the family of four stretched out in the setting sun, looking particularly harmonious.

"Mom, Dad just said he would catch us, but we were so smart and stayed away from him." Xiao Shihua hugged Zhou Xiaobai's neck, showing off proudly.

Xiao Haichen was not to be outdone and added, "Yes, and me, too. I'm hiding well."

Zhou Xiaobai smiled and touched the two children's heads, her eyes full of tenderness. "Okay, good kids, did you have fun today? Mommy has prepared your favorite snacks. Go wash your hands first, and then we'll enjoy dinner together."

When the children heard that there was a snack, they immediately jumped up excitedly and pulled Zhou Xiaobai's hand to run to the bathroom. Zhong Yuemin watched this scene and felt warm in his heart. He knew that no matter how the outside world changed, home would always be his warmest harbor.

As the night fell, everything was silent, and the whole world was immersed in silence. Only the bright moonlight penetrated through the gaps in the curtains, gently sprinkling on the sleeping faces of Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen, adding a bit of warmth to this quiet night.

Zhou Xiaobai walked gently into the children's room and carefully covered the quilts they had kicked off. Looking at their quiet and sweet sleeping faces, her heart was filled with love. Then, she quietly left the room, fearing that she would wake the children.

When she came to the living room, Zhou Xiaobai saw Zhong Yuemin sitting on the sofa, quietly reading a newspaper. She slowly walked to Zhong Yuemin and gently snuggled into his warm embrace.

Zhong Yuemin noticed Zhou Xiaobai's arrival and a smile appeared on his lips. He stretched out his arms and hugged Zhou Xiaobai tightly, allowing her to lean more comfortably in his arms.

Zhou Xiaobai asked softly, "Yuemin, what did you do today?" There was a hint of exploration in her words, as if she wanted to get an answer from Zhong Yuemin, and as if she was confirming a premonition.

Zhong Yuemin couldn't help laughing when he heard Zhou Xiaobai's question. He gently patted Zhou Xiaobai's hand and replied with a smile, "Wife, what's wrong with you? Why are you asking me this all of a sudden? I'm just working normally, what else could be special?" His tone was full of pampering and confusion.

Zhou Xiaobai raised her head slightly and met Zhong Yuemin's eyes. Those eyes seemed to be able to see into her mind. "Our leader called me over today and said a lot. Anyway, the general meaning was that he wanted to promote me, and it seemed that it was because of you." There was a hint of uncertainty in her words, but more of it was trust and gratitude towards Zhong Yuemin.

Zhong Yuemin heard this, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by more tenderness. He gently stroked Zhou Xiaobai's hair and smiled. "Oh? Really? It seems that my recent work performance is not bad, and our family's status has also risen with it."

Zhou Xiaobai was amused by his humor and punched him lightly. "Stop making fun of me. To be honest, this promotion came a little sudden. I can't believe it. Also, from what the leader said, it seems that some of the things you have done recently have been recognized by the higher-ups, so they decided to promote me."
