With the experience from the first time, everyone gradually adapted to the training missions of the special forces.
Among them, Han Lang, as the commander, became more adept at issuing combat plans and missions.
Tang Geng and Ma Long also made significant contributions.
During the missions, they often offered valuable suggestions to Han Lang.
This also allowed Han Lang to gradually and thoroughly understand what special operations were all about.
With these two strategists, coupled with the strength of Han Lang's squad, the entire platoon's simulated training performance soared.
Even Huang Yuhua and Liu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but marvel at the team's learning ability!
Of course,
Although all aspects were improving, one aspect remained stagnant.
That was Zhao Wu.
Although Zhao Wu followed Han Lang's arrangements for each combat mission, the rift in his heart towards Han Lang had not disappeared.
Because of this, Zhao Wu could never perform perfectly during missions.
Sometimes he was headstrong, and sometimes he was arrogant.
On many occasions, his actions affected the entire platoon's performance.
Although Han Lang, Ma Long, and Tang Geng said nothing.
The other team members' gazes towards him began to change.
However, Zhao Wu seemed unfazed by this.
In his eyes, as long as he fulfilled his responsibilities within his scope according to the plan, other aspects were beyond Han Lang's jurisdiction.
This greatly worried Huang Yuhua and Liu Xiaoxiao.
However, they had no good solutions for this situation.
"Unless he opens up on his own, anything else we do seems futile, doesn't it?"
"Fortunately, he's still quite sensible. Otherwise, on the battlefield, he would be a ticking time bomb!"
Every time they discussed this, Huang Yuhua and Liu Xiaoxiao could only shake their heads helplessly.
Meanwhile.
While Han Lang and the others were immersed in intense training, Le Cheng had also undergone earth-shattering changes over the past few months.
After Han Lang and the others joined the army, Le Cheng's commercial sector, under the joint efforts of Han Kang, Cao Xuerong, and the Tang family, became even more prosperous.
However, everything began to change after Zhao Wei's second visit to the Han family.
It was a peaceful afternoon. Han Kang and Cao Xuerong were enjoying a rare moment of leisure. That day, they were with Luo Jiaying, accompanying Han Zhongyi and his wife as they lazily basked in the sun, enjoying family time.
However, an uninvited guest, Zhao Wei, suddenly arrived.
Behind him was a middle-aged man in his fifties, dressed in a Tang suit.
Han Kang and the others were aware of the estrangement between Zhao Wei and Han Lang.
Considering the Zhao family's influence and the fact that neither side had openly fallen out, Han Kang and the others warmly welcomed Zhao Wei.
However, Zhao Wei's visit was ill-intentioned.
After Han Lang left, he had repeatedly tried to arrange meetings with Luo Jiaying via WeChat.
Luo Jiaying had politely declined each time.
Zhao Wei knew that Han Lang would be away for at least three years.
If he returned after three years, his pursuit of Luo Jiaying would likely be futile.
Impatient, he didn't want to wait.
Therefore, at this time, he directly came to the Han family with lavish gifts, imitating the ancient practice of proposing marriage.
"Mr. Han, please forgive my abrupt visit today!"
Han Zhongyi and Su Su, completely unaware of the situation, could only reply politely.
"Young Master Zhao, there's no need for such formality! Your visit to our humble abode is a great honor for the Han family. However, I must admit I don't quite understand the grand gesture you've made today!"
Hearing this, Zhao Wei feigned a sudden realization and quickly replied.
"Oh! It's like this. I have some personal acquaintance with your eldest son, Han Lang. Now that he has enlisted for the country and gone far away, I've specifically come today to visit you two on his behalf."
"Young Master Zhao, you are too kind! I have two sons. Although Lang'er is far away, Kang'er accompanies me daily. I am not lonely, so you didn't need to make such a fuss and bring so many gifts to see an old man like me! Heh heh..."
Zhao Wei immediately denied this.
"Mr. Han, you misunderstand. These are not gifts, but betrothal gifts!"
"Betrothal gifts?"
Han Zhongyi and his wife were even more perplexed and even cast questioning glances at Han Kang beside them.
After seeing Han Kang shake his head in confusion, he continued to ask.
"Young Master Zhao, perhaps you've misunderstood something? I have no daughters, so how could you personally come to propose marriage?"
Zhao Wei chuckled.
"Heh heh... Mr. Han, you are too modest. Zhao knows that although you have no daughters, you have always treated your close friend's daughter as your own. Otherwise, you wouldn't have taken her in to live with the Han family after her parents passed away!"
Upon hearing this, Han Zhongyi immediately understood something.
He frowned and stared at Zhao Wei, retorting.
"Please forgive my ignorance, but please, Young Master Zhao, speak plainly."
Zhao Wei smiled again.
"Miss Luo is naturally beautiful. I fell in love with her at first sight. Furthermore, I have also ascertained that Miss Luo is not married. After Miss Luo's parents passed away, you two have almost entirely taken care of her. Although she is not your biological daughter, she is treated as such. Therefore, I have boldly and presumptuously come to propose."
With Zhao Wei speaking directly, Han Zhongyi and his wife could no longer pretend to be oblivious.
However, before they could respond, Han Kang stood up.
"It is Xiao Ying's fortune to be favored by Young Master Zhao. However, since Young Master Zhao has investigated Xiao Ying's background, he should also know that Xiao Ying and my brother have been childhood sweethearts, shouldn't he?"
Zhao Wei feigned ignorance.
"Childhood sweethearts? Aren't you and Miss Luo siblings? It's somewhat against human ethics for a brother to make a move on his sister, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Han Kang's blood boiled.
"Young Master Zhao, you don't need to put such a heavy label on us. Although Xiao Ying and I grew up together, and my parents treat her as their own, we are not related by blood. Regarding ethics, Young Master Zhao, you are speaking too strongly! Most importantly, my brother and Xiao Ying are genuinely in love. Before he enlisted in the special forces, they had already agreed to marry in three years. Young Master Zhao, you probably didn't find this out, did you?"
Hearing this, Han Zhongyi quickly chimed in.
"Yes! Both Xiao Ying and Lang'er have mentioned this to us. We agreed at the time. Therefore, Young Master Zhao, the Han family may not be able to accept your kind intentions today!"
Upon hearing these words, Zhao Wei's facial muscles twitched noticeably.
He had originally intended to have Han Lang sent away, thus taking the opportunity to win Luo Jiaying's heart.
He had not expected that the two would already have plans for marriage.
If that were the case, his earlier plan of treating them with courtesy would likely fall through.
"Is that so? I truly didn't know about this. However, I believe that since they are not yet married, nothing is set in stone. Perhaps Miss Luo might change her mind in the coming time."
Han Kang sneered.
"Is that so? Xiao Ying has had deep affection for the Han family since childhood. I believe her feelings for my brother will not change!"
Zhao Wei also couldn't help but sneer.
"Oh? This is quite unexpected. But that's fine too. If the Han family encounters any trouble, I believe Miss Luo, as half a member of the Han family, would spare no effort to support them, wouldn't she?"
Zhao Wei's words carried a strong threat.
Han Kang, having been in the business world for a long time, could certainly sense the underlying hostility.
But he was not intimidated.
He glared at Zhao Wei and said with great animosity.
"You can certainly try!"
