Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 422: Chen Tong Returns to Quzhou, the Honesty between the Father-in-law and the Son-in-law

Three days later, one morning, the Quzhou Railway Station was bustling with activity. On the platform, a pregnant woman wearing loose clothes and with a slightly bulging belly was particularly eye-catching. Her face was filled with a happy smile, and she looked into the distance from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone important. This pregnant woman was An Xin, a beautiful, gentle and loving woman.

As An Xin waited expectantly, a train slowly pulled into the platform. The door opened and a group of soldiers in black uniforms got off. Among them, a tall and handsome man was particularly eye-catching. He was Chen Tong, An Xin's beloved husband, who had just returned from the Northwest Military Region.

When Chen Tong saw An Xin on the platform, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He strode towards An Xin, and the moment their eyes met, it seemed as if time had stopped. An Xin looked at Chen Tong lovingly, with a bright smile on her face. She opened her arms and gave Chen Tong a big hug.

Chen Tong hugged An Xin, feeling the warmth and softness of her body. He glanced at An Xin with a hint of resentment and said, "It's been more than six months, and you don't know how to take care of your body. I know how to go back by myself, so you don't have to come all the way to pick me up."

An Xin stuck out her tongue playfully and said coquettishly, "I miss you. It's been two months since you went to the military district to serve. You've become darker and thinner. When we get back, I'll ask Aunt Wu to make you a pot of nourishing soup to nourish your body."

Chen Tong felt a warm current in his heart when he heard An Xin's words. He knew that this woman was willing to give everything for him.

He held An Xin's hand tightly, looked at her tenderly and said, "Thank you, Xin'er."

The two of them snuggled up to each other and got into a car, driving towards home.

The scenery outside the window kept changing, but the atmosphere inside the car was always warm and peaceful. Their hearts were closely connected, as if nothing could separate them. This was their love, simple and sincere, full of love for life and expectations for the future.

The mansion of Chen Tong and An Xin is located in the old city of Lanshan City, the capital of Quzhou, on Lan'an Street.

The mansion covers an area of ​​about 800 square meters and is hidden in a quiet alley.

The layout of the mansion is elegant, with two courtyards in the front and back, separated by an exquisite moon-shaped door in the middle. It has both classical charm and modern comfort. This was the property that An Chengjie specially gave to Chen Tong after they got married in order to express his love for his daughter and his respect for his son-in-law.

When the car slowly stopped at the alley, Chen Tong and An Xin walked hand in hand back to the mansion. The environment in the mansion was quiet and elegant, and the antique furniture and decorations exuded a unique charm. Chen Tong and An Xin felt the warmth of home, and their hearts were filled with happiness and satisfaction.

At this time, An Chengjie's wife, Mrs. An, Chen Tong's mother-in-law, had already been busy in the restaurant. She carefully prepared a large table of sumptuous dishes, which were delicious and mouth-watering.

Seeing Chen Tong and An Xin coming in, Mrs. An came up to them warmly with a friendly smile on her face. She held Chen Tong's hand, asked about his well-being, and inquired about his life in the army.

An Chengjie also came over and looked at his son-in-law with admiration and pride on his face. He smiled and said, "Xiaotong, how are you? Are you used to life in the army? I was also a soldier in the army and experienced many ups and downs. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, just tell me and I'll help you find a solution."

Chen Tong listened to An Chengjie's words and felt very grateful. He knew that his father-in-law not only cared about him, but also supported his career with practical actions. He nodded solemnly, saying that he would keep it in mind and live up to An Chengjie's expectations.

The table was filled with a variety of dishes, which were delicious and mouth-watering. Chen Tong, An Xin and An Chengjie sat together, enjoying this rare reunion time. During the meal, they talked and laughed, sharing each other's joys and sorrows, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Chen Tong suddenly left the military region and secretly returned to Quzhou, with a major mission hidden behind him. In the eyes of everyone, he is a talented but unlucky young man who returned from studying abroad. However, this identity is just a cover-up on the surface. In fact, he is one of the top talents summoned by Su Zhengyang through the system.

In the past, Chen Tong had held an important position in the Northwest Intelligence Bureau, and his wisdom and strategy were highly appreciated by his superiors. But this time, he was given a more important task-to get close to An Chengjie and win his trust.

Chen Tong knew that Su Zhengyang was about to take the presidency, but that didn't mean everything would be smooth sailing. The transition of power was always accompanied by various undercurrents. At this critical moment, An Chengjie, as an important figure in Quzhou, his attitude would directly affect whether Su Zhengyang's road to the presidency would be smooth.

Therefore, Chen Tong was sent to Quzhou not only for personal development, but also for the overall stability of the country. He needs to use wisdom and strategy to win the trust of An Chengjie, and then appease the two major forces of An and Qian to ensure that Su Zhengyang can smoothly get through this difficult period.

Now Chen Tong has completed the task brilliantly. In the process, he met his wife An Xin and had his own child. However, Fuso somehow found out Chen Tong's specific identity. This is a time bomb for Su Zhengyang and the entire Northern Frontier. If one day, An Chengjie discovers the secret hidden in Chen Tong, whether he will change his attitude or feel resentment towards Su Zhengyang is an uncertain factor.

The purpose of Chen Tong's return this time is to be honest with his father-in-law An Chengjie and obtain his forgiveness first.

After dinner, Chen Tong and An Chengjie walked into the study. The study was filled with a calm and elegant atmosphere. The bookshelves were filled with all kinds of books, emitting a faint scent of ink. The two sat opposite each other, and Chen Tong lit the cigar in An Chengjie's hand. For a moment, a faint smoke filled the study.

Chen Tong took a deep breath, as if he was gathering up courage for what he was going to say next. He looked at An Chengjie firmly, as if he had made some important decision. Then, he slowly said, "Dad, actually, there is one thing I have been hiding from you."

An Chengjie was slightly stunned, and his eyes stayed on Chen Tong's face for a moment, as if he was trying to find the secrets deep in his son-in-law's eyes. He smiled meaningfully and said, "Are you trying to say that, in fact, you have known Su Zhengyang for a long time, and you are even Su Zhengyang's subordinate. Now that the time is right, you want to reveal your identity to me?"

When Chen Tong heard this, he froze as if he had been electrocuted. His eyes were filled with astonishment and disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that his father-in-law had guessed his true identity. He stared at An Chengjie blankly, with a complex emotion in his heart.

An Chengjie looked at Chen Tong's reaction and was not too surprised. He continued to smoke and kept a calm expression on his face. He said calmly: "I, An Chengjie, have been the governor of Quzhou for more than ten years. I am not a simple-minded reckless man. Such an outstanding young talent suddenly appeared by my side, and he has a certain connection with my daughter. How can I not investigate your identity in detail?"
