<Nan ChaoYang> fumbled into his mother's wardrobe, and when he opened the cabinet next to it, there was a big safe.
He observed it carefully and saw that the 8-digit password lock.
He tried his sister's birthday first, 20030822, but it was wrong.
Then he tried his own birthday, 20030823, but that was also incorrect.
The password had been entered incorrectly twice already. If he entered it wrong a third time, the alarm mode would be triggered!
At that time, the whole house would start blaring 'woo woo', and the police would also rush back.
As <Nan ChaoYang> thought, he rhythmically tapped on the cabinet door with his index finger.
There was only one last try left!
<Nan XiangWan> was born on August 22nd at 11:59 pm, the very last moment of the day. She was named XiangWan, meaning the flowers bloom on the path, and she returns late every night.
It is hoped that she would be gentle and live a happy and healthy life.
<Nan ChaoYang> was born on August 23rd at 00:01 am, the very beginning of a new day. He was named ChaoYang, meaning facing the sun and being vibrant.
It is hoped that he would be upright and optimistic.
The sister and brother were born only 2 minutes apart, but across two different dates - one on the 22nd and one on the 23rd. Their names were both given by <Xin Zi>.
<Nan ChaoYang> finally decided to take a gamble.
Betting on his mother's love!
He entered - 22592301
Click!
The password lock opened!
Indeed, it was a combination of the brother and sister's birth times!
<Nan ChaoYang> felt somewhat strangely moved. As expected, his mother loved him too, and her love for him was no less than the love she had for his sister.
They were a girl and a boy, so the parenting approaches were different, that's all.
But soon, he froze in puzzlement again.
The safe was crammed full of jewelry - from diamonds to pearls to jade, everything imaginable!
Are you serious?
<Nan ChaoYang's> eyes nearly popped out!
Good gracious, they were even categorized neatly, with clear notes stating what was gifted when.
<Nan ChaoYang>: "......"
He searched through a few layers, and soon found a separate compartment.
On it was a clear label that said "To My Daughter".
But when he opened the compartment, it was empty.
<Nan ChaoYang> immediately snapped a photo and sent it to <Nan XiangWan>.
'Nan ChaoYang: [Photo]'
'Nan ChaoYang: It's not here. It was probably taken out right?'
'Nan ChaoYang: What's wrong?'
His sister's reaction was very strange, making him nervous too.
Although he didn't know exactly what had happened.
There was ice in <Nan XiangWan's> voice: "An illegal border-crosser is wearing the exact same bracelet as mom."
Nan ChaoYang: "!!!"
Nan XiangWan: "Gotta go."
She didn't have time to chit chat with her brother. She had to go find her mom!
......
<Nan ChaoYang> was stunned listening to the beeping dial tone as his sister hung up.
He remained standing dumbly in front of the safe, somewhat at a loss.
<Nan Song> had just gotten up. After washing up, he came in to change and happened to see <Nan ChaoYang> standing dumbly right in front of him.
Taking another look at the open safe with its contents ransacked and chaotic,
<Nan Song> was shocked: "Son, what are you doing?"
<Nan ChaoYang's> eyes were red: "Dad, do you think mom got into trouble?"
<Nan Song>: "!!!"
It is said there is a special bond between mother and son. In an instant, <Nan Song> thought of many worrying possibilities.
He took a big step forward: "Did you hear something?"
<Nan ChaoYang> hesitated for a bit, then told him everything about the bracelet in detail.
After listening, <Nan Song> became anxious!
He started pacing around the room, back and forth, back and forth.
<Nan ChaoYang>: Don't keep pacing around! It's useless to panic over this. Stop pacing already, watching you is making me dizzy!"
<Nan Song> suddenly whirled around and put his hands on <Nan ChaoYang's> shoulders, seemingly having made some big decision.
<Nan ChaoYang>: "Wha, what is it?"
<Nan Song>: "Son! Don't go to the military academy anymore, enlist early instead! Go to the front line and gather some news!"
<Nan ChaoYang>: "......"
Dad, you don't even want your son anymore in order to find a wife?
------------------
<Lingshan Base>
<Gu Beihuai> put on gloves and started extracting fingerprints from the bracelet.
Unfortunately, the equipment was limited here, and there were too many mixed fingerprints on the bracelet, so he couldn't immediately determine if <Xin Zi's> fingerprints were on it or not.
<Nan XiangWan> waited at the door for a bit, but soon couldn't wait any longer.
She pursed her lips and turned around.
Heading towards the commander's office!
At this time, <Han Ting> was on a phone call in his office.
The door was wide open, without any intention to hide anything.
<Han Ting>: "Yes! Understood! Yes......Alright! Understood!"
After hanging up, as he raised his head, he saw <Nan XiangWan> standing at the door.
She looked off, somehow.
<Nan XiangWan>: "Reporting in!"
Then she strode into the room with large steps.
Bang!
She shut the door with a loud thud!
Instantly, it was just <Han Ting> and <Nan XiangWan> left in the office.
<Han Ting's> tone was cold and stern: "What is it?"
<Nan XiangWan>: "Commander, please grant me permission to cross the border!"
......
Five minutes later.
<Lingshan Base> convened a military preparedness meeting.
The base commander and all school principals were present.
Already sitting in the conference room were over twenty people.
Glancing across, uniform after uniform of Air Force officers caught the eye.
The military officers were not smiling, sternly waiting for the commander to arrive.
The door was pushed open.
Everyone looked over, but instead of seeing the commander, they saw <Nan XiangWan> walk in behind <Han Ting>.
Under everyone's complex gaze, <Nan XiangWan> followed <Han Ting> to take the foremost seats.
Once <Han Ting> was seated in the chief position, she stood ramrod straight behind him.
<Han Ting> rapped on the table: "Let's begin."
Officers: "Yes, sir!"
The response was sonorous and curt.
Despite it not being a large conference room and having barely twenty-odd people,
The roar was deafening!
<Han Ting>: "Are the fighter jets ready?"
Colonel on the left: "The fighter jets are ready!"
<Han Ting>: "Are the paratroopers ready?"
Colonel on the right: "The paratroopers are ready!"
<Han Ting>: "Are the micro reconnaissance drones ready?"
Lieutenant Colonel on the left: "The control module and operators are ready!"
<Han Ting>: "What about the weapons?"
Lieutenant Colonel on the right: "Military supplies and weapons are ready!"
"......"
He surveyed readiness down the line, and battle preparedness was perfect.
Everyone was good to go!
Finally, <Han Ting> nodded and then loudly ordered:
"South XiangWan!"
<Nan XiangWan> stepped forward: "Sir!"
<Han Ting>: "You are now officially appointed as a soldier of <Lingshan Air Force Base>, will you accept the appointment to the <Huaxia People's Liberation Army>?"
<Nan XiangWan> answered loudly: "Accepted!"
<Han Ting>: "Will you fight bravely without fear of sacrifice to defend our motherland and protect the peaceful labor of our people, never betraying your country under any circumstances?"
<Nan XiangWan>: "Yes, sir! I will fight bravely without fear of sacrifice to defend our motherland and protect the peaceful labor of our people, never betraying my country under any circumstances!"
<Han Ting>: "Good. Now - "
As he spoke, he paused, a flash in his eyes, then continued thunderously,
"Take your troops and move out!"
<Nan XiangWan>: "Yes, sir!"
