"This is my fiancée; she is very skilled at hypnosis."
Facing the enemy, Lu Yuan did not reveal Qiao Manman's name. He clenched his hands tightly, demonstrating his stance through his actions.
Trusting Deputy Battalion Commander Lu, the three young comrades did not object.
Looking at Qiao Manman curiously, he saw her smile and nod: "Hello!"
They all responded politely: "Hello, comrade!"
Lu Yuan looked at Qiao Manman, a hint of worry in his voice: "Do we need to make any preparations?"
Qiao Manman confidently replied, "No need! Hypnosis relies on a contest of mental strength. You must have subjected him to a lot of torture in this regard during your interrogation."
The young soldiers awkwardly touched their noses, unsure of what to say.
Then Qiao Manman picked up the lame old man, her eyes instantly turning sharp, and she kept provoking him with her words.
The old man was very patient, closing his eyes and pretending not to understand.
Qiao Manman didn't care. She talked about everything from the Tang Dynasty to the present, and it was all about the frustrations of her daily life, which made her depressed.
Do you know how many people there are in our country? Nine hundred million!
Even if eight of us were to fight you alone, we would eventually destroy your country.
"idiot!"
The old man's forehead veins bulged, and Qiao Manman snapped her fingers, shattering the truth-spitting talisman. The old man's expression instantly went blank.
"Quickly, ask them now, you only have one hour."
Qiao Manman's face turned pale, and sweat beaded on her forehead. Her legs went weak, and she fell backward.
Lu Yuan reacted quickly, catching her and holding her in his arms, his heart aching with concern: "Are you alright?"
Qiao Manman nodded, but couldn't say a word.
Lu Yuan picked her up and placed her on the temporary bed where his comrades were resting, so she could rest.
Qiao Manman's consciousness sank into the space, creating the illusion of fainting.
Lu Yuan was terrified. He was just about to take Qiao Manman to see a doctor when he remembered that in Qingshan Brigade, she was able to sneak into the house and pick the lock after hypnotizing Sun Jianhong.
Take a deep breath and calm yourself down.
Silently tucking Qiao Manman in, he casually flicked her nose before leaving.
Although Qiao Manman's consciousness was in the space, she still sensed it. She chuckled and flipped through a book of clothes-making instructions, preparing to find time to tailor a garment for Lu Yuan.
Time passed slowly, and the interrogation of the lame old man came to an end.
The young soldiers stared in disbelief and gave Lu Yuan a thumbs up.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Lu, your wife's move is amazing! If she joined the army, she could save us so much manpower and resources!"
Lu Yuan said seriously, "Hypnosis is not that simple. After she showed this skill, she will need to rest for at least ten days to half a month to recover some of her energy."
Protecting our country is our job as men, so let's not make things difficult for a young girl. Please keep this a secret!
Upon hearing this, the young soldiers nodded in agreement: "Deputy Battalion Commander Lu is right; we were narrow-minded."
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, kicked the old man, whose consciousness was gradually returning, unconscious, and quietly arranged the next steps.
Then he went into the inner room, shook Qiao Manman awake, and helped her leave.
The two walked quite a distance before Qiao Manman's body gradually left Lu Yuan's chest. She was smiling, showing no sign of weakness.
Lu Yuan couldn't resist and pinned the person against the wall for a kiss.
A moment later, he whispered in her ear in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I've put you in a difficult position!"
Qiao Manman didn't feel too embarrassed.
Catching spies not only helps the country eliminate corrupt elements but also earns you points. It's a win-win situation, so why not?
I'm afraid that if word gets out about such extraordinary abilities, people will be wary of or covet them. Making them seem less impressive might dispel any doubts others might have.
Qiao Manman ruffled Lu Yuan's hair and chuckled, "It's okay."
Lu Yuan tenderly kissed her forehead: "Wait for me, it'll be over soon!"
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and straightened her clothes. She wiped off her makeup, restoring her original appearance.
Lu Yuanxiang and I went back to the dormitory, lay down on the bed, and amplified the noise around us.
I heard about his meeting with Lu Yifeng, about them digging for bombs in the middle of the night, and about them rushing to arrest spies and ordinary workers and technicians corrupted by imperialism before dawn, thus purging the machinery factory.
Once Qiao Manman was certain that Lu Yuan was out of danger, she drifted off to sleep with peace of mind.
Mental exhaustion made her fall asleep instantly, but the moment she closed her eyes, the alarm clock rang.
Qiao Manman was so sleepy, she could barely keep her eyes open. She rolled around in bed several times before finally managing to get up and go to the washroom to wash up.
Her roommate, Ququ, said, "She can't keep up the act after only a few days. When Engineer Lu finds out what she really is, he'll definitely regret choosing someone from the countryside like her."
By the way, do you mind if Engineer Lu is remarried?
"I don't mind, I'll help him raise the child even if he has one!"
Hearing the system's gloating voice, Qiao Manman sprayed a mouthful of foam into the pool.
I thought to myself how lucky I was to have gotten up late today; most people had already finished washing up. Otherwise, given how crowded the washrooms were, I would have been caught in the crossfire.
"Cough, cough~"
"Comrade Xiao Qiao, are you alright?"
Qiao Manman rinsed her mouth and replied with a smile, "It's nothing, I just twisted my side!"
The man nodded, wiped his mouth with a towel, and turned to leave.
Qiao Manman continued brushing her teeth until they were spotless, then washed her face before jogging downstairs.
"Hey, the hot water I filled up last night should be cold by now. Try some!"
Lu Yuan took the military water bottle, twisted off the cap, and looked at Qiao Manman with surprise.
Seeing her smiling and calmly drink the drink in one gulp.
He licked his lips: "It's delicious!"
Qiao Manman raised an eyebrow: "Absolutely!"
She gently patted Lu Yuan's chest with the back of her hand, her tone as smug as when they first met: "Now you know, choosing me as your partner is your good fortune!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Yes! I have accumulated good deeds and made great achievements in my past lives to have the good fortune to meet you!"
Qiao Manman commented: "You have such a sweet tongue!"
It was worth it for her to give him the mutated corn juice.
If Lu Yuan hadn't taken the Tongxin Pill, Qiao Manman would never have dared to bring out something so outrageous.
Soy milk is available in every season, but tender corn is definitely rare in autumn and winter.
The two of them went to the cafeteria together and ate two bowls of tofu pudding and a few fried dough sticks amidst the envious glances of others.
As usual, Lu Yuan paid the bill, and many people said that Qiao Manman had hit the jackpot and hooked up with the factory's gold nugget.
"You guys know what? Lu Gongguang only makes a little over a hundred yuan a month. That woman is really getting a good deal!"
"Sigh, if I had such a pretty girl as my girlfriend, I'd be happy to spend money on her too!"
The cafeteria was bustling with activity until two or three hours after the official start of the workday, when someone finally realized, "Why hasn't Chen Dazhuang arrived yet? Is he late or is something wrong at home?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone came over to ask for leave for Chen Dazhuang. They said he had something to do back home and needed to go back to help.
The workers had no doubts and continued working.
Meng Taining panicked: "What? What? There are so many spies in the factory?"
Oh my god, the sky is falling, and this factory manager didn't even notice anything amiss.
Most importantly, the factory worker Jinbaodou was actually a soldier who was about to return to his unit after completing his mission.
Wow, are the military this powerful now? To become a deputy battalion commander, you even need to know mechanical design. Otherwise, you can't get promoted!
Meng Taining's worldview was rapidly reshaped.
