Afternoon, First District, New City.

After receiving the order from above, Kong ZhengHui didn't rush to Dragon City. Instead, he returned to New City to see his family.

After being cleared by the guards, several cars drove into the courtyard. Kong ZhengHui, with Kong ZhengQi, got out of the car.

As soon as they got out, they saw their cousin, Xiao Ying, in a beautiful wedding dress, taking wedding photos with her fiancé in the distant, shady courtyard. She was surrounded by seven or eight people from the photography company, who were busy helping to correct instructions and adjust the light.

Many family members were also there, watching the fun.

Seeing the large group of people, Kong ZhengQi couldn't help but mutter, "You tell me, why get married now of all times? Doing it now is just freaking sick!"

Kong ZhengHui glanced at him and said softly, "You can't say that. If the war lasts for ten years, are we not going to get married or have children for ten years?"

"Marry if you want to marry!" Kong ZhengQi glanced at his cousin in the distance. "Simple is fine, but why make such a big show? Freaking hell, don't they consider the impact at all? Our identities are already sensitive, and the front line isn't going well. Doing things like this will cause gossip..."

"Alright, alright." Kong ZhengHui knew that he had never gotten along with this cousin since childhood, so he patted his arm and persuaded him, "We're all family, don't do this. Put on a smiling face."

"Okay," Kong ZhengQi said no more and nodded slowly.

With that, the two walked into the house together. Kong ZhengQi went upstairs first, and Kong ZhengHui walked to the courtyard to take a look.

Inside the courtyard, the girl in the wedding dress immediately waved at Kong ZhengHui: "Brother, you're back! Didn't they say you were working overtime today?"

Kong ZhengHui smiled at her: "I have a mission from above. I'm back to get something and take a look at you."

"Hehe!" Cousin Xiao Ying laughed, reached out and pulled open the skirt of her wedding dress, striking a pose: "How is it? Do I look good today?"

"Beautiful." Kong ZhengHui looked at her with one hand in his pocket: "Congratulations."

Xiao Ying said playfully, "Of course! I'm finally marrying myself off! You should hurry up too and find me a sister-in-law!"

"As long as you're happy." Kong ZhengHui waved his hand and smiled at her: "Old Wang is also a good person, honest, rich, dotes on you, and looks... handsome and steady."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man of about forty-five years old, weighing over two hundred pounds, wearing a tight black suit and with a bald head, walked over.

His forehead was covered in sweat, and he greeted Kong ZhengHui with a smile, "Brother, you're back?"

Kong ZhengHui glanced at him and said with a smile, "Don't call me brother, it's weird. Hehe, I'm back to get something. You guys continue taking pictures, don't mind me, I'm going upstairs."

"Okay, Brother!"

After saying that to them, Kong ZhengHui returned to the villa. He walked through the hall and was about to go upstairs to his room to get something when he saw his mother.

The elderly woman, dressed in festive clothes, with white hair and leaning on a cane, was walking slowly towards him.

Kong ZhengHui quickly took two steps forward, helped the old woman, and said softly, "Mom, why did you come down too?"

The old woman grabbed her son's right hand, walked downstairs, and said, "They're taking pictures outside, and they want us old folks to take a few pictures too."

Kong ZhengHui saw sweat on the old woman's forehead, immediately helped her wipe it off, and said, "Mom, take care of your health, don't bother with these young people. It's cold outside, you'll catch a cold with the sweat."

Kong ZhengHui was always kind and good-tempered when facing his family, with a smile on his face.

The two walked to the bottom of the stairs, and the old woman stopped there, turned around, and asked worriedly, "ZhengHui, I heard... Kang DingHuang had an accident, almost got blown up?"

Kong ZhengHui was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Who did you hear that from?"

The old woman leaned on her cane and sighed, "Ah... You know what kind of people live in this courtyard. I might know the news faster than you."

Kong ZhengHui thought for a moment and said slowly, "Yes, something happened to him, but he's back now. After being rescued, he's out of danger."

The old woman looked at Kong ZhengHui and suddenly asked, "Where are you going this time?"

Kong ZhengHui hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I'm going to Dragon City to participate in an event."

The old woman still asked worriedly, "Son... Why are you going to Dragon City at this time? Can't you postpone it?"

Kong ZhengHui was silent and did not answer.

The old woman sighed again, looked at him, and said, "Your reputation isn't good there, many people hate you... Be careful."

Kong ZhengHui smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, this time I'm going with some big leaders, it's very safe, there won't be any danger. I'll be back after Xiao Ying's wedding."

The old woman reached out and gently held Kong ZhengHui's left arm, her eyes a little sour, and said, "Everyone in this family is counting on you... I'm burdening you..."

Kong ZhengHui gently pulled back his empty sleeve and comforted her, "Mom, look at you, why are you saying this? Don't worry, there's really nothing wrong this time. Okay, you sit on the sofa and rest for a while, I'll go upstairs to get something."

...

Twenty minutes later, Kong ZhengHui took out some information he had kept at home, as well as some things he would need for the event, and was about to leave with Kong ZhengQi. When passing by the courtyard, he saw a large group of his family members standing there, about to take a group photo.

"Come over, Brother! Take a photo with us before you leave!"

His cousin waved at them.

Kong ZhengHui waved his hand: "Forget it, I'm in a hurry."

"Come on, you're back anyway, let's take a picture together!" His cousin looked at him with a smile and continued to shout, "Our family hasn't taken a photo in a long time."

"Okay, okay, take a picture."

Kong ZhengHui pulled Kong ZhengQi and walked over with a smile.

Everyone readjusted their positions, while leaving the middle position open. Kong ZhengHui bent down and sat down.

"Everyone smile..." The photographer adjusted the camera and said to everyone, "Okay... Cheese!"

The flash went off, and the thirty or forty members of the Kong family, on this sunny afternoon, sat in the villa in the First District and took a family photo.

In the photo, everyone was smiling very happily.

...

Outside Dragon City, the front-line suppression base of the First Army.

Several military vehicles slowly stopped in the base's courtyard. Lu Zhen, who had just visited Kang DingHuang in the First District, stepped out of the car and walked towards the base building.

After walking a few steps, he turned his head to look at the staff next to him and instructed, "I'll arrange the security team. Also, call Yuan Biao."

"Yes." The other party nodded and took out his phone.

...

Outside Dragon City, in a deserted town.

Yu MingYuan, Yao DouDou, and Dai Quan arrived here and quietly lay in wait.
