Sure enough, the first thing Shen Zhong said when he came in was, "I'm your elder brother."
Who are you kidding? You've knocked me out twice. Have you no shame? If it weren't for Mr. Huo telling her to listen to Shen Zhong, she would have thrown a pillow at him and beaten him up again in a jiffy!
Shen Zhong shifted his gaze for a moment. He... indeed had no shame. Moreover, it was his mistake this time... that had implicated Zhu Shuangyao. Although he resorted to unscrupulous means in his actions, he never involved innocent people in his grudges. Who would have thought that he would fail repeatedly with Zhu Shuangyao.
He swore that he originally just wanted to lock Zhu Shuangyao in the prop space and use her to threaten Huo Qizheng to join him in dealing with the system. Who would have thought that at the last moment, the Heavenly Dao of the small world suddenly intervened and forcibly... forcibly involved Zhu Shuangyao.
Zhu Shuangyao had no mood to give him a good look. "Tell me. How can I rescue Mr. Huo together?"
As soon as this question was asked, Shen Zhong's face instantly flushed red. He stammered, "You... you..."
He spoke hesitantly. Zhu Shuangyao seriously suspected that this guy didn't want them to get out. She said angrily, "Speak up quickly. Why are you talking so hesitantly? Be straightforward!"
"You have to make Huo Qizheng fall in love with you within a year."
What the hell? Are you kidding me?
Facing Zhu Shuangyao's speechless look, Shen Zhong himself also thought it was absurd, but this was really the only way to save the three of them.
The power of the Heavenly Dao in the small world where Zhu Shuangyao was located was very strong, suppressing everyone's abilities and props to the extreme. Anything beyond the power of ordinary people couldn't be used, but there were still loopholes to exploit.
Shen Zhong found it quite strange. After all, he had also completed many missions. In the worlds he went to, either the Heavenly Dao was too weak to manage due to the destruction of the world's trajectory, and it would gradually recover after the world events were eliminated. However, every law of the Heavenly Dao was like the most precise instrument, and anything beyond the laws of the Heavenly Dao was not allowed to appear.
For example, if there were cannons and airplanes in this world, then this world must follow the path of technology. If this path changed in the end and spiritual power and magical power emerged, it must be because the world's laws had calculated that the world might perish if it continued on the technological path, so they changed the path.
But he had never received a mission in this world before and was suddenly sent to Zhu Shuangyao's world. This time, his identity setting was unprecedentedly precise. He not only had family and friends, but even the number of times he wet the bed as a child was recorded.
In the past, when they went on missions, they didn't have such treatment. They were just directly thrown into the world, given a rough identity to allow them to live reasonably in this world. If they delved deeper, others would only have memory gaps.
Their world was clearly on the path of technology and had entered the era of light intelligence, but some strange abilities and paths could still be used, although the conditions for using them were very harsh. After several explorations by Shen Zhong, he finally discovered a connection between the system and this unknown world.
He originally just wanted to use the prop space to capture Zhu Shuangyao and threaten Huo Qizheng to join him in exploring the relationship between this world and the system. He had already discovered the clues and found the method, but his strength was not as strong as Huo Qizheng's. If he went alone, he would surely die. As a result, when he used the prop, the Heavenly Dao actually intervened!
The three of them, Shen Zhong, Huo Qizheng, and Zhu Shuangyao, were all thrown into this world. He remembered this world. This world was particularly special. The hint for the world event was only the word "traitor". The social environment here was chaotic, and there were countless traitors and moles. They simply didn't know who the traitor who had affected the world was. Many task - takers had failed here. In the end, the main god had no choice but to temporarily seal this world.
But unexpectedly... Huo Qizheng was actually a native of this world. He said that the traitor was Lin Yufei. He had been deceived by Lin Yufei, and all his enthusiasm had gone to waste. Because of Lin Yufei's betrayal, the most crucial battle was lost, and the enemy launched a large - scale attack. Their country... The only way was to break Lin Yufei's aura.

"How can I make him fall in love with me? Right now, the white moonlight in his heart is Lin Yufei. He doesn't love me!" Just thinking about this made Zhu Shuangyao angry, feeling as nauseous as if she had eaten a fly.
But Shen Zhong was very certain. "He hasn't fallen in love with Lin Yufei. Apart from you, he won't fall in love with anyone."
Because Lin Yufei carried a system. In the vast world, there were all kinds of things. Just as there were task - takers like them who eliminated world events to stabilize the world, there were also system hosts who seized the world's luck. Commander Huo was the lucky son of this world. She used the system to blind Commander Huo's perception, making him think that she was the intelligence agent who held the crucial intelligence.
In fact, the real intelligence agent had long been killed by Lin Yufei, and the intelligence never reached Commander Huo's hands. The most crucial battle was lost, and the sacrifices of millions of people before this became meaningless. Commander Huo led his troops to the battlefield and died in the battle due to the intelligence error. Before he died, he actually got rid of the system's control and killed Lin Yufei, but it was too late.
Originally, the world's trajectory should have formed a turning point in this crucial battle. After that, the enemy would be driven out of the country, and then there would be years of recuperation to restore the economy. The scientific and technological civilization would continue to advance. Scientists who returned to the country in times of national crisis would help the country overcome one crisis after another, and then invent new technologies to lead the whole world to take off, rising from the three - dimensional civilization to the four - dimensional civilization. But this battle was lost.
The world was plunged into war, and the people were in dire straits. The scientist died in the war before he could grow up. His descendants couldn't bear such a world and created weapons to directly destroy this world.
Shen Zhong didn't know about the world's trajectory. Although he had received a mission in this world, he hadn't succeeded. He only knew that if they wanted to get out, they must eliminate the world event and make Lin Yufei lose Commander Huo's trust. But her system targeted the love favorability. Only when Commander Huo truly fell in love with someone could the system's illusion be broken.
All his current actions were just for this life - and - death intelligence and to protect Lin Yufei.
If they failed, the sacrifices of millions of people would be in vain, and the Great Wall built with their bones and blood would collapse in an instant. Their families and lovers would be exposed to the sword and spear. Therefore, they could only succeed and not fail.
Obviously, Zhu Shuangyao also thought of this problem. She was silent for a while and then smiled. "Since he's Huo Qizheng, he will definitely fall in love with me."
What she said just now was just out of anger.
Commander Huo, who had returned to his residence, also thought he was strange. Just now... just now he had actually compromised with a woman and even comforted her. This... this was simply... unreasonable.
"Commander, all the arrangements for the wedding are ready. As you said, everything will be kept simple." Seeing the commander come back, the adjutant came up with the documents to talk to the commander about the wedding arrangements.
Keep the wedding simple?
Commander Huo thought of the little girl's red - rimmed eyes and aggrieved look. For some reason, he changed his mind again. "This... this is after all the wedding to marry the main wife. How can it be kept simple? Make it grand, really grand. It's best that everyone in the city knows about it. Do you understand?"
Adjutant: ...
There are only three days left, and you suddenly want to do it like this? Forget it. He's my superior. He's my superior. I mustn't kill him!
The adjutant forced a smile. "Aren't you afraid that Miss Lin will have an opinion?"
Miss Lin had said that she didn't want the commander's wedding to be too grand, lest it be targeted by those with ulterior motives. That's why the commander decided to keep everything simple. In his opinion, what did the commander's wedding have to do with her? Why did she get to dictate? She was just an intelligence agent. If it weren't for the intelligence in her hands that was related to the lives of millions of people, the commander wouldn't have tolerated her dictating at home like this.
"Yes, you're right." Commander Huo thought of the little girl's angry look like a milk cat, and couldn't help smiling. Such a simple little girl mustn't be dragged into their struggle. "Remember to find a residence for Miss Lin outside. Well... just say... just say that I'm going to get married, and I can't let Miss Lin be wronged. That's it."
Oh, after a trip to the Zhu Mansion, our commander has changed his personality. It's a good change. The adjutant's favorability towards the unknown Miss Zhu instantly soared. "Okay, I'll go and handle it right away."
Three days later, everyone in the city knew that their commander was getting married. He was marrying the second miss of the Zhu family. There were banquets for seven days. The sedan chair circled around the city. The wedding was grand, with gongs and drums blaring and firecrackers popping.
Zhu Shuangyao smoothly married into the commander's mansion. She was happy, but Lin Yufei was grinding her teeth in anger. She had gone to great lengths to get close to Huo Qizheng, but Huo Qizheng was actually not affected by the system at all. She had wasted so many props, and her relationship with Huo Qizheng was only a little more than friendship but less than love. Why did this Zhu Shuangyao come and pick the fruit as soon as she arrived!
No, she must ruin their wedding night.
Commander Huo stepped into the bridal chamber. As the highest leader in the city, no one dared to make trouble on his wedding night. The girl was sitting quietly by the bed in a phoenix coronet and a magnificent wedding dress.
This was his bride. She had married him.
Strange. Why was he so happy? A great sense of joy filled his heart. He picked up the wedding scale and lifted her veil.
Under the veil, the girl had a beautiful face with extremely delicate features. Her pair of water - like eyes were sparkling, and the corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, showing a hint of charm.
His mind suddenly went blank. From today on, he was a man with a family. He stammered, "I... I'm your husband."
The girl smiled sweetly and softly called out, "Husband."
Commander Huo swallowed hard. This call of "husband" ignited all the blood in his body. He couldn't help feeling a bit parched. Looking at the girl's fair face, he actually wanted to kiss her?
He had already forgotten what he had said before about making her a puppet wife. Just as he was about to take it a step further, the adjutant knocked on his door. "Commander, Commander, there's something!"
He stopped his actions. Only then did he realize what he had been thinking just now. He hurriedly stepped back. "You rest well. I'll go and deal with official business."
"Wait a minute." Zhu Shuangyao grabbed him and gave him a sly smile. A kiss landed on the corner of his lips.
