Must Be Him

As the car galloped all the way, it arrived at the Scenic Mountain and leisurely drove into another small courtyard not far from Lang Wang's villa.

The small courtyard was like a lot of old buildings in Hai City. There were mottled stone walls, half-old doors and windows. It looked unremarkable.

However, before Xiao Yi entered the courtyard, he felt that there were a lot of plain clothes guards around the courtyard with his Divine Awareness. Although they looked no different from ordinary citizens, their vigour of blood could not hide from Xiao Yi's Divine Awareness.

"There are so many guards." Xiao Yi's heart missed a beat. He could vaguely guess who this big shot was.

Sure enough, Xiao Yi and Shu Wan entered the small building. At first glance, they saw an old man with an extraordinary temperament. That old man was the number one figure in the current Hua Country political circle, the general secretary!

Besides the general secretary, Lang Wang was with him, followed by a grey-haired, commanding general. Last time at the police station on Xianggang Road, Xu Song, the major of the four armoured soldiers, was standing behind the general.

At a glance, Xiao Yi knew that the old man must be Shu Wan's grandfather, Mr. Shu, the commander-in-chief of the military region in Tiandong Province.

Even Gu Qingfeng, the minister of the Ministry of Health, was one of them.

In this humble reception room, there were four giants in Hua Country all at once, which shocked Shu Wan. At the same time, she was also very happy and felt sincerely proud of Xiao Yi.

Seeing that Shu Wan's eyes were wide open in shock, Shu Laozi coughed lightly and deliberately said with a straight face, "Shu Wan, what are you standing there for? Why aren't you coming over to greet?"

Shu Wan stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "Greeting, Mr. General Secretary. Nice to meet you, Lang Wang and Mr. Gu!"

"Haha, Shu Wan, it's been hard on you for this trip to Country E!" The general secretary stood up and said kindly. Then, he turned his bright eyes to Xiao Yi and nodded with satisfaction.

He took the initiative to reach out a hand to Xiao Yi and said with a smile, "This is our uncrowned king, the national hero, Xiao Yi, right?"

Xiao Yi also shook his hands in a hurry and said with a smile, "You think too highly of me!"

"All of us have seen what you have done in City L. I have been paying attention to your every move. On the side of Country E, because you solved the crisis in one fell swoop, you are very grateful to our country. Through the royal family and the cabinet, we have put forward a lot of preferential policies to Hua Country. The plan against Hua Country has finally been cancelled. The positive and effective effect brought is immeasurable. It's not an exaggeration to say 'The Hero of the Country'." The general secretary clapped Xiao Yi's shoulder with appreciation.

Xiao Yi didn't quite understand what the secretary said, but he thought that the relationship between the two countries was the same as that between humans. It was reasonable that they were grateful to Hua Country because of the bird flu crisis.

"Yes, general secretary. Xiao Yi has made more than this in the past year. Boxika in Hai City and Aphra virus in Baise City, Xiao Yi has put a lot of effort into it." Lang Wang looked at Xiao Yi with burning eyes. He hurriedly made hay while the sun shines and said to the general secretary.

"Haha, Lang Wang, I know that Xiao Yi is your subordinate. You don't have to take credit for Xiao Yi every time you see me, do you? Oh, haha." Hey pointed at Lang Wang and joked.

Lang Wang didn't care. Indeed, since Xiao Yi cured his own viciousness, he had always taken the opportunity to ask the general secretary to give some credit to Xiao Yi. But when he heard his joke, he smiled and said, "It's not that I take credit for Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi has done a lot of practical things for ordinary people in the past year. Mr. Gu knows this better than I do."

Gu Qingfeng laughed upon hearing this, "Hey, Lang Wang, why did you kick the ball to me again? However, general secretary, what Lang Wang said is true. As a folk doctor, Xiao Yi has devoted himself to the development of traditional Chinese medicine. Everything he says is enough to shock a place and make us admire him. By one thing in recent, Xiao Yi successfully cured drug addiction in a large area. This is the good news for so many patients. This matter is really meritorious."

"Not only that, general secretary." Liu Zhen, who had been following Xiao Yi, also took a step forward and roared, "Mr. Xiao has brought back a large number of antiques of Hua Country abroad."

"Oh?" Liu Zhen's words immediately drew the intense attention of the four old men.

"Xiao Yi, what cultural relics? How many are there?" The Lang Wang was the first to ask.

"Well, I haven't counted the specific numbers. There are probably tens of thousands of them!" Xiao Yi said after pondering for a while.

"Tens of thousands of pieces!" As soon as he said this, everyone in the room gasped.

"I've heard that the Country E Museum has indeed been robbed recently. Could it be?" Lang Wang was so shocked that he immediately stood up.

Xiao Yi nodded with a smile.

"But, Xiao Yi, I heard that the international criminal police has locked on to the suspects." Lang Wang asked in surprise.

"Lang Wang, I will slowly explain the details of this to you in the future. For now, the most important thing is to find a practical reason to allow these cultural relics to return to their ancestral roots." Xiao Yi said indifferently.

"Xiao Yi is right. Mr. Liu, this matter is left to your Special Operations Group to deal with." The general secretary also suppressed the surprise in his heart and told Liu Zhen.

"Don't worry, general secretary. The Special Operations Group is already working on it." Liu Zhen said in a hurry.

The general secretary nodded and stood up. He paced back and forth a few times before looking at Xiao Yi with a smile. "Xiao Yi, these old fogeys are all praising you. I don't know how to reward you!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yi also stood up. He cupped his hands and said, "Xiao Yi has nothing else to ask for. I only have one wish."

"Tell me about it!"

"I hope that the general secretary can encourage the development of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional culture of Hua Country in the future. This is the root of our nation! And the wish of all the Hua Country people. Please forgive me for speaking frankly. The rise of Hua Country will inevitably come to this place." Xiao Yi looked straight into the eyes of the secretary and said word by word seriously.

Hearing this, the general secretary's eyes narrowed. From Xiao Yi's tone, he heard the implications of Xiao Yi's words, which made him slightly stunned. However, after a moment, he nodded and then laughed, "Xiao Yi, I have heard countless times what you said, but in my heart, you are one of the few people who have the qualifications to say this. You let me see the hope of the new generation of Hua Country. Well, I promise you that in terms of folk traditional Chinese medicine and traditional culture, I will make a satisfactory adjustment on the policies in the future."

After a short pause, the general secretary continued to say, "However, I still have to give you a reward. You will be given the title of Major General and Shu Wan will be given the title of Lieutenant Colonel in commending the outstanding contributions you made in this case. What do you think?"

Xiao Yi had never paid attention to such an empty name. He indifferently thanked and accepted it when he heard this.

When Mr. Shu heard his precious granddaughter Shu Wan, he was overjoyed to hear that she had directly obtained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel because of this trip to Country E. He hurriedly whispered, "Shu Wan, say thank you to the general secretary quick."

Xu Song, who stood next to Mr. Shu, also quietly gave a thumbs up to Shu Wan, very proud and happy for Shu Wan.

However, Shu Wan didn't know that her appreciation for Mr. Shu's words and Xu Song's appreciation was as if she didn't hear or see it at all. She walked slowly to the general secretary and said proudly, "Thank you, general secretary. However, although the rank of lieutenant colonel is good, it is not what I want. Shu Wan has another request."

"Shu Wan, don't be rude!" Mr. Shu was originally in high spirits, but when he heard Shu Wan's words, he couldn't help but shout in a low voice.

The general secretary didn't care and said with a smile, "Oh? Shu Wan, if you have any requests, just mention them. I've heard that you have lived in a slum in City L for more than ten days. You even worked for Xiao Yi personally as a medical worker. Your grandfather was so distressed that he shed tears. If I give you an unfair reward, Mr. Shu can't agree with me, can he?"

The general secretary turned to Shu Wan and smiled warmly. His tone was full of affection.

After listening to the general secretary's words, Shu Wan smiled and turned her starry eyes to Xiao Yi. She said, "General secretary, if you want to reward me, please marry Xiao Yi and me. I just want to be his wife. If not, I will not marry for the rest of my life."

As soon as Shu Wan's words came out, everyone in the room, including Xiao Yi, was greatly shocked. No one had expected that Shu Wan would make such a request and say such words in such a situation.

Xu Song and Liu Zhen were so shocked that they opened their mouths considerably. They didn't expect Shu Wan to be so bold and straightforward.

Mr. Shu slammed the table and shouted, "Shu Wan, don't be rude. How can you bring up your personal affairs here?"

Lang Wang and Gu Qingfeng looked at each other. They had heard that at the moment when Baise City repelled the virus of Aphra, the President personally granted the marriage to Xiao Yi and Mu Qingwan. Why did Shu Wan come out and take the initiative to ask for the marriage?

Everyone looked at the general secretary.

However, the general secretary laughed and said, "Haha, since ancient times, beautiful women loved heroes. Shu Wan is so frank and honest. The truth is there. I am naturally happy to do this. It's a good thing. What's so difficult?"

Hearing the secretary's words, Shu Wan's beautiful face immediately lit up with joy. It was as if a flower was blooming in spring, and it was soul-stirring. It was obvious that this matter had been the real struggle in Shu Wan's heart for a long time.

However, Mr. Shu stood up in a hurry before the General Secretary officially mentioned that it was the marriage of Shu Wan and Xiao Yi. He shouted, "General Secretary, don't do that."

"Oh?" The general secretary looked at Mr. Shu, Shu Laozi.
