The marshal said: “You must understand that Anders was killed by his own selfishness. He even wanted to kill us in order to compete for power. He did not die because of Zhou Mian. Zhou Mian killed him, only to protect Cecil’s reputation and also to protect our relationship with Cecil.” The marshal’s wife nodded.
Her husband was always too rational, but she… maybe she was too emotional?
After Cecil left, he took his army guards straight to Lin Zhiwei’s house.
His first army surrounded Lin Zhiwei’s villa, and Cecil kicked open the door and walked in.
”Admiral…!”
Lin Zhiwei hurried out.
”You, why are you here…”
Cecil sat on the sofa with a big smile, and crossed his legs and his arms. “Interested in a chat?”
Lin Zhiwei’s eyes lit up. Sitting across from Cecil, she stroked her hair subconsciously and asked, “What’s wrong? What did the general want to talk about?”
”Talk about how you knew that Zhou Mian secretly picked Hong Luoluo.” Cecil looked at Lin Zhiwei with a half-smile.
Lin Zhiwei was chilled by Cecil’s laughter and gaze, her heartbeat almost jumped out of her due to nervousness.
Cecil stretched out three fingers and said, “Pirate, Glacier Royal Family, Zerg. Which one did you collude with?”
Lin Zhiwei looked at Cecil with a white face, her palms sweaty.
Seeing that Lin Zhiwei didn’t speak, Cecil laughed “Yo” and said, “Isn’t it all? Is there anything else I don’t know? Let’s talk about it.”
Cecil didn’t believe that Lin Zhiwei was a weak woman, an actress, and ordinary person. Citizens who can pass through his two armies and know what Zhou Mian has done quietly, someone must be helping her behind her back.
Lin Zhiwei was just a chess piece and a dull knife for these people.
”I…I don’t, I really don’t…” Without any interrogation, Cecil’s murderous aura aquired from the battlefield and bloodshed directly made Lin Zhiwei panic. She sniffed with red eyes and said, “I really didn’t collaborate with the enemy. As I said before, I really just received a letter for no reason, the letter said that Admiral Zhou secretly hid Hong Luoluo… Admiral Zhou is your… your marriage partner. I was afraid that he’s a bad guy, and might hurt you. I don’t want you to have an accident, so I will report him at all costs…!”
Lin Zhiwei said her prepared lines tremblingly .
”That’s it?” Cecil took a few sips of the juice and smiled cheerfully , “Tell me the truth, and I promise you the position of the rightful wife, okay?”
Lin Zhiwei was about to burst into tears, but when she heard what Cecil said, she immediately stopped.
”What, the position of the wife?”
”Yes, I never lie, I promise it by my surname.”
Lin Zhiwei couldn’t believe it intuitively, this was like a pie from the sky, she looked at Cecil tremblingly and said, “Really?!”
”Really .” Cecil nodded with a smile.
”Yes…Yes…”
Lin Zhiwei swallowed.
Reason told her that she couldn’t say it, saying it was the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason.
But…but Cecil promised her the position of his wife… Isn’t she doing so much just to win over Cecil?
The man in black also told her that as long as Zhou Mian was pulled down, she could become Cecil’s wife.
Do you think Cecil would mind?
After all, even though she was with the man in black, she didn’t do anything . He just revealed a secret of Zhou Mian, and the situation was not serious…
”I’ll say… You really won’t blame me, you will give the position of the legal wife to me?” Lin Zhiwei confirmed again.
”I swear.” Cecil raised his hand and said, “Definitely.”
Now Lin Zhiwei believed him because an admiral could not break his oath. So Lin Zhiwei, after struggling for a while, summoned up her courage and said, “It’s from the Dark Phoenix.”
”…”
Cecil’s heart sank.
Dark Phoenix.
Cecil’s eyes darkened.
Cecil thought…he had already killed all those people.
There are still remnants?
Cecil smiled and said, “You continue.”
Lin Zhiwei took a deep breath and said, “They suddenly came to me and asked me to find an opportunity to attack Admiral Zhou… This time it was also a letter from them.”
Cecil said: “Then did they say how they knew that Zhou Mian picked the Hong Luoluo?”
Lin Zhiwei shook her head.
”Okay.” Cecil got up and prepared to leave.
”Admiral…!” Lin Zhiwei also got up and said nervously, “You promised me…”
”Hey, I’ll do what I say.” Cecil turned around and said, “I’ll get someone to prepare and let you marry Pluto right away.”
…? ? ?
Lin Zhiwei’s eyes widened, and she said in a trembling voice, “What did you say?”
”I said, the position of the first wife will be yours. I thought about it, and Prince Doron of Pluto still wanted to have marriage ties with us at the year-end meeting, but it’s a pity that he had been here but there was no suitable girl then, now it’s alright, you are so beautiful, Prince Doron will definitely like it.”
Lin Zhiwei froze.
Prince Doron…
That’s not a prince! That’s a monster!
It was a short, ugly, hairy alien living in the dark, impoverished Pluto! A beautiful human being married into a group of beasts, what will be the consequences!
Lin Zhiwei only felt a bolt from the blue, “dong” fell on her and she sat on the ground.

Cecil had planned to let Lin Zhiwei marry that Prince from the beginning.
The most despised person in Cecil’s life is the one who cooperated with the enemy and treason for his own benefit. He and a group of soldiers risked their lives to confront the enemy outside. Those countless people who had fought with him, or who he didn’t know about in the military, eventually turned into pieces of icy tombstones and names on the monument, making him look at their names every year at the mourning meeting. .
Every year, the names were added, and was like a heavy stone on his heart, reminding him always how much responsibility he had as a general.
Cecil felt that maybe because of this, he was attracted to Zhou Mian, because Zhou Mian was the same person as him.
Cecil didn’t ask the people to be grateful to those who fought and died, but at least don’t trample on them and run to the enemy, as if to laugh at the sacrifice of those people’s lives.
In the face of people like Lin Zhiwei, he would not have the slightest sympathy.
After walking out of the house, Ellen, who was waiting outside, stepped forward and said, “Tell me? Who is it?”
”Dark Phoenix.”
Ellen was taken aback.
Didn’t Cecil already…
But the dark phoenix has always been Cecil’s inverse scale, Ellen didn’t dare to ask for more, he just said: “Lin Zhiwei, what are you going to do with it, one shot, or…? But if this is revealed, I think Lin Zhiwei will be sentenced for life by the court for treason.”
Cecil told Ellen about the marriage.
”Fuck…” Ellen paused and said, “You are really good at using trash and even draining the last value from the prisoners.”
Cecil said: “Pluto is our ally, and Prince Doron has always hoped to get married , and I agreed too back then. Later it was impossible to let anyone marry him, and I also didn’t want to hurt his feelings. Now it’s just perfect, look Lin Zhiwei’s face is full of sincerity.”
”Yes. Those aliens are not as vulnerable as humans, and we need their troops very much.”
ElLen was about to ask, aren’t you afraid that Lin Zhiwei will gain power after she gets married and blow some pillow wind, but when he thought of Lin Zhiwei’s IQ and her status and situation after she got married, he didn’t say anything.
At this time, Ellen also heard Lin Zhiwei’s desperate and sharp screams coming from inside the house, as if she finally realized what she had done. The screams, cries and the sound of smashing things kept coming out, and Ellen shaking his head, said, “Let’s go.”
If she hadn’t killed herself, by stepping on Cecil’s inverse scale, wouldn’t she still be enjoying her glory and wealth at this moment?
The two boarded the aircraft together and headed towards the military building.
Everything is ready, just wait for the meeting to fight those courtiers and let the plant factory be approved. As soon as the plant factory was established, the construction official document was released so that the police could see off Zhou Mian.

”Brother… I’m afraid, will those dogs catch up?”
In the snow, the two boys held hands and kept running forward.
The wind and snow blew their clothes up, and their eyebrows, nose tips, and broken hair were all white snow.
The older boy grabbed the younger one and pulled him to run.
”Don’t be afraid! Brother will protect you!”
”We must be able to escape successfully!”
The base of the Dark Phoenix was guarded by vicious dogs, and the two managed to escape.
Now that the snowstorm is getting bigger and bigger, the good thing is that it has blown away their footprints, and the bad thing is that it is difficult for the two to move forward.
The younger one, with red nose and ears, was holding on to the older brother’s arm tightly, afraid that he would be separated from him in the heavy snow.
”Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid…”
The older child kept panting, using all his strength to protect the person behind him.
…
…
Zhou Mian slowly opened his eyes.
Zhou Mian looked around and realized that he was in the “prison” of the Drug Enforcement Headquarters. It’s been a day now, and the sun is slowly rising outside.
Zhou Mian sighed, he was dreaming again.
But apart from the vague back of the big brother, he didn’t remember anything.
Zhou Mian knocked on his head, wishing he could knock out more memories.
He really wanted to get that man back.
This is going to become an obsession.
and……
White snow, it really is white snow, he experienced the winter of the Federation when he was young!
Zhou Mian couldn’t help but wonder. Could it be that he was actually a federal citizen and only went to the Glacier because of fate?
That doesn’t make sense. Before the bridge is built, the two departments are not connected. How can he cross in the past?
”Admiral Zhou, breakfast is here.”
The voice outside the door interrupted Zhou Mian’s thoughts, and when he turned his head, he saw someone stuffed a few packets of compressed food and water through the hole at the bottom of the door.
The tone was very good, and the food delivered was also very good. After Zhou Mian stepped forward to take it, he sat on the bed and started to eat slowly.
In fact, before he came, he thought that this place was a prison after all, and the situation would not be very good, but he didn’t expect that it might be specially set up for people who have not yet been proven guilty and have a distinguished status. The environment is quite comfortable.
Although it is not luxurious, it is actually no different from ordinary hotels.
After Zhou Mian finished breakfast, after digesting it, he moved against the wall and practiced fighting stances.
Zhou Mian swept his legs and put his legs on the wall. He was about to perform the next move, but a voice full of flirting intent came from behind.
”Is this just getting up? It’s not strong enough. It’s far from the strength you used to kill the Zerg that day.”
Zhou Mian was stunned when he saw Cecil standing outside the door, and his smiling eyes could be seen through the bars of the door.
”Admiral…?”
Cecil had already got the key. After opening the door, he opened his arms and grinned, “Admiral Handsome will pick you up and take you home!” With that gesture, he seemed to believe that Zhou Mian would rush over and crash into his arms.
Zhou Mian glanced at Cecil, put down his legs, walked past him with a smile, and left the room.
Cecil: “…”
Cecil didn’t dare to believe: “I’ve been running around for a whole day because I wanted to redeem you quickly, and I don’t even deserve a hug??”
Zhou Mian sighed, turned around and opened his arms to Cecil.
Cecil was overjoyed that he wanted to sing, so he went forward quickly and hugged him happily.
Zhou Mian couldn’t help but laugh.
Cecil: “…”
Wait.
Zhou Mian’s smile immediately awakened Cecil, who was dazzled by the beauty.
What the hell is this special situation now! Meow! Ying ying ying! It was Zhou Mian who was hugging, and it was him who was being hugged!
Fuck! He was calculated!
What’s even more hateful is that Zhou Mian didn’t make this hug ambiguous. The moment Cecil hugged him, Zhou Mian stepped back and quickly ended it.
Cecil: “…”
In order to save Zhou Mian, Cecil fooled Lin Zhiwei, fooled all those old ministers, but in the end he was still fooled by Zhou Mian.
Cecil said unwillingly: “You were in trouble and sent me a text message before, but now that you’re rescued , you ruthlessly abandon me Zhou Mian, you heartless man.”
Zhou Mian: “…”
Zhou Mian said: ” I just sent you a symbol.”
And it was because of Chi Ying at that time.
”No, you sent me the ‘Ying‘.”
Cecil took out the terminal, desperately put it in front of Zhou Mian and said, “You can see it clearly.”
”…”
Zhou Mian’s eyes widened.
There was a “Boom” on the screen.
Zhou Mian: “…”
What kind of garbage input method!
He just pressed a key at random, how could he type this word? !
Cecil said happily: “Look, you were being coquettish but still don’t admit it. Tsk.”
Cecil took Zhou Mian’s shoulder with a look ‘I knew it’, and said, “Let’s go.”
The small conflict between the two on the aircraft suddenly disappeared.
Sitting in the aircraft, Zhou Mian looked at Cecil next to him and said, “Thank you.”
Thank you for believing in me.
”No need to thank me, anyways, you have already thought it through by yourself.” Cecil shrugged and said, “Admiral handsome, will only play along.”
Zhou Mian couldn’t help but chuckle.
How can there be such a shameless person in this world!
There was still a long way to go back to the general’s residence, and Cecil told Zhou Mian what Lin Zhiwei had confessed.
Dark Phoenix…
Zhou Mian frowned slightly and said, “It’s the group of people who kidnapped you.”
Cecil was stunned, then raised his eyebrows slightly.
”What’s wrong?”
Cecil said, “You are the first person who dared to mention about my kidnapping in front of me.”
Zhou Mian was taken aback.
Cecil shook his head and said, “The Federation has regarded this as a sensitive topic and taboo.”
Zhou Mian smiled and said, “I dare to say it, because I know that although the admiral hates the dark phoenix, he is not afraid of them.”
Cecil raised his eyebrows happily.
”Ha, that’s right.” Cecil stretched his legs and said, “But they don’t understand.”
Zhou Mian smiled and continued: “Although it is now known that the Dark Phoenix did it, but… how did they know that I took the Hong Luoluo?”
Zhou Mian said a little embarrassedly: “I used the toilet that day to deceive both armies. Logically speaking, neither armies knew about it, so how did the Dark Phoenix know?”
Cecil looked at Zhou Mian with a half-smile.
Zhou Mian met Cecil’s eyes, stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice, “… a traitor?”
”That’s right.”
Cecil sneered and said, “He has to be a great person and also quite amazing. He has deceived me and Ellen, especially since Ellen’s eyes have been lurking around everywhere for so long but even then he managed to be promoted to a high-ranking position.”
Zhou Mian analysed: “Then…perhaps this person Ellen has never met, is it possible? Ellen is not the person on the ground, maybe he has not seen some people?”
Cecil paused, touched his chin and said, “It’s possible.”
The more the two chatted, the clearer their thoughts became. Cecil said, “It is more likely to be among my five secretary-generals. After all, all my military affairs must pass through their hands, including the instructions for the 12th Army. I will narrow it up for you. Among the five secretaries, the one I trust most is Mingyan, so Ellen has only seen her.”
Mingyan was captured by a pirate ship when she was a child, and Cecil rescued her, so Mingyan offered Cecil her blind worship, and on the basis of ‘ love the house, love the crow’, she worshipped Zhou Mian too.
Mingyan is not so careful, and she is simple and lovely, so although she occasionally makes a few mistakes, she is the one that Cecil keeps by his side the most.
Cecil thought for a while and said, “Mingyan is also a rather stupid person, so… maybe you can ask her.”
Cecil called Mingyan as he spoke.
”Hello? What’s the matter, Admiral!”
”Mingyan, I want to chat with you.”
”Eh…?”
Cecil thought for a moment and asked, “Which of the other four secretary-generals do you like best?”
” Huh??? This, this… Admiral is so annoying!”
Zhou Mian laughed out loud.
Cecil touched his nose and said, “Okay, I know you have a crush on Kevin, so besides him, who else do you particularly like and trust?”
Mingyan thought for a while before saying, “I like Xiao Mo. Sister Xiao, will always come over to share our work, and she is also very responsible, and she will always come to chat with me.”
“Understood, goodbye.”
”Eh????”
After Cecil hung up the phone, he and Zhou Mian looked at each other.
Looking at it this way, there is suspicion.
Cecil sighed and said: “Anyway, I’ll check those things later. The top priority now is to bring you home to rest and fill your stomach.”
Zhou Mian said, “I’ve already eaten compressed food.”
” That’s not enough. I’ll take you home for a delicious dessert.”
The two of them were stunned when they got home.
They saw a bunch of roses in front of the Admiral’s mansion, bright and dripping, with fresh dew on the petals.
Zhou Mian smiled and said, “Which admirer of the Admiral is this again?”
Cecil hummed and said, “Maybe it’s yours, you’ve been very popular recently.”
Zhou Mian shook his head and went up to take it.
There was a small card next to the rose, Zhou Mian opened it and took a look.
To Zhou Mian.
Zhou Mian was stunned.
Is it really his?
In the card is a love poem:
You are the most beautiful sunshine on the Cooper Sea, and the vast galaxy is in your eyes.
You are the most beautiful liquor in the sunset city. You are more enchanting than the bloody setting sun.
You are my shadow, but I am the captive of your soul.
I will always wait for you
until the sea dries up.
Knowing that no one remembers the sunset city anymore
until you come back.
No signature, but Zhou Mian knew who sent it.
”Crash…”
Cecil saw Zhou Mian trembling all over, and then loosened his hand, and the blood-red rose just fell and scattered all over the floor.
”What’s wrong?” Cecil frowned slightly, this was the first time he had seen Zhou Mian like this.
”It’s okay.”
Zhou Mian smiled, crouching down and trying to pick it up.
”No need to pick it up.” Cecil grabbed Zhou Mian’s arm and said, “Show me that card.”
”…”
”Be good, give it to me.”
Zhou Mian hid the card behind him.
Cecil said with no expression: “It was like this on the aircraft before, and it is like this now. Zhou Mian, show me that card.”
Zhou Mian bit his lower lip without loosening it.
He won’t hand it over even until death.
The two admirals stood still outside the admiral’s mansion.
