Xu Qian was somewhat surprised, as Xiang Jin Tian disliked harming people, especially on such a large scale...
Thinking this, Xu Qian asked truthfully.
Xiang Jin Tian's lips pursed tightly. After a long moment, he said, "Nothing is more important than your life."
Besides, these people deserved to die.
Xu Qian's heart warmed. He had truly changed a lot for her.
Back then, he was a workaholic. Even in the same military unit, she barely saw him.
The base and the military were ranked first in his heart.
And now... that first place seemed to be wavering.
Xu Qian gently closed her eyes, concealing the redness in them.
"Jin Tian, thank you for loving me."
Xiang Jin Tian's eyes softened as he gazed forward.
"And thank you for choosing me."
Xu Qian's heart tightened abruptly.
Jin Tian, it wasn't me who chose you, but rather... the system chose you.
Xiamen Base.
A man ran in, panting, and shouted, "Boss Qin, Boss Qin, a helicopter is returning. It's not receiving any information."
Qin Jian's brow furrowed. He opened the window and looked out.
He saw a helicopter approaching the base in the sky, its red and blue lights flashing.
Wang Yong Yi slowly walked to his side, also looking up. He chuckled, "If they don't accept orders, just shoot them down. What if it's an enemy aircraft..."
Qin Jian's expression grew grimmer. He ordered, "Give them one last warning. Dispatch nearby military aircraft. If they still don't receive information or report their situation, shoot them down."
"Yes."
"Beep beep beep, 1562, received, please respond. This will be the final warning. If no reply, the base will take forceful measures."
Xu Qian, who was observing the base with binoculars, couldn't help but chuckle at the announcement.
"So cowardly."
Suddenly, the young girl's hand holding the binoculars froze. She slightly adjusted the focus.
She saw two middle-aged men leaning against the window of a villa, chatting leisurely.
A crowd of black-clad men who had just returned were gathered below the villa.
Xu Qian's eyes immediately lit up, and she smiled faintly.
"Jin Tian, I've found them."
Xiang Jin Tian's expression was calm. He raised his hand and set the helicopter to autopilot.
He maneuvered around to the back of the villa, lowering the helicopter's altitude.
They exchanged a look and quickly unbuckled their seatbelts.
Xiang Jin Tian held the girl tightly in his arms and then leaped out of the cockpit door.
Before long, the helicopter hovering in the air seemed to lose control and plunged towards the villa complex.
The approaching military aircraft only managed to fire one shot, slightly deflecting the plane.
But it still plummeted straight down.
With a loud "boom,"
Flames erupted, and dust billowed.
A while later, "bang bang bang," the helicopter began to explode.
The entire villa was reduced to ruins.
Xu Qian, leaning on Xiang Jin Tian's shoulder, showed no change in expression.
Seeing the somber atmosphere, Xiang Jin Tian lowered his head and nuzzled her fluffy head.
"What's wrong? Not happy?"
"No, I just don't think Wang Yong Yi will die easily."
Someone who protected his daughter so fiercely would surely be more vigilant.
Xiang Jin Tian's eyelashes drooped slightly, and he whispered, "It's okay, I'll help you."
Xu Qian's heart softened, and she looked up at him.
"If I could kill him once, I can kill him a second, a third time."
"Jin Tian, I'm a burden to you."
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been injured, wouldn't have been chased, and wouldn't have gotten into so much trouble.
The tenderness in Xiang Jin Tian's eyes was almost overflowing.
The man lowered his head, their foreheads touching.
"Shh, don't say that anymore."
Xu Qian tightly hugged his neck, burying her head in his broad, warm chest.
Listening to his steady, strong heartbeat and smelling the faint scent of sweat on him, her mind quickly settled.
"Xi Xi, where are we going now?"
