"Mr. Xing has the same intention as you, to do some effects to Wang Mang's facial features…" Miss Xia frowned as she glanced in Wang Mang's direction. "Mr. Xing has the same concerns as you, afraid that someone might take revenge on Mr. Wang Mang!"

  Xing Feng nodded, explaining to Lin Nuan the reason behind his changing his mind about letting Wang Mang reveal his face. "It's no problem if Wang Mang is all by himself, but he has gone on blind dates and is seeing someone now. They might be getting married soon. If those fugitives decided to pester him… no one would be able to guarantee his family's safety!"

  "I have no problem with it, but Mr. Wang Mang feels that if the audience doesn't get to see the scars on his face, they won't know what he and his comrades have experienced!" Miss Xia frowned. Actually, even Miss Xia herself thought so.

  However, to Lin Nuan, those people's safety was far more important than the effect it might have on the show.

  "Sis-in-law, I feel that it might work if you talk to Wang Mang!" Xing Feng said.

  Lin Nuan was Fu Huai'an's wife. Although Wang Mang had only ever fought alongside Fu Huai'an that one time in Iraq, Fu Huai'an had far greater credibility to Wang Mang than anyone else, so Wang Mang might more or less be able to heed Lin Nuan's words.

  Seeing Lin Nuan hesitate, Miss Xia glanced at her wristwatch. "We're starting soon, so you've got to make up your mind quickly!"

  Pursing her lips, Lin Nuan nodded. "I'll go talk to Wang Mang."

  Wang Mang had seen news in the entertainment section about Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an getting married, and he also knew that Lin Nuan was that girl who was resolute in not handing over the baby despite being yanked by the hair by those terrorists, so he had a good impression of her.

  Wang Mang was drinking water beside the table of mineral water prepared by the production crew when he saw Lin Nuan walking over. He twisted the cap on the water bottle and looked at Lin Nuan.

  Wang Mang had always been a cold and tough person who spoke little. Even though he had seen Lin Nuan in Iraq before, he didn't use that matter to try and decrease the distance between them, merely nodding at her to acknowledge her presence.

  Seeing Lin Nuan stop before him, Wang Mang had thought that Lin Nuan wanted to drink some water, so he picked up a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her. Lin Nuan thanked Wang Mang as she received the bottle. "Thanks!"

  Several staff members looked in their direction, and several young ladies were speaking in hushed tones, commenting that it was bold of Lin Nuan to dare to walk over and talk with Wang Mang.

  Wang Mang nodded, his facial features tense as he remained silent. That and the terrifying burn scars on his eyes caused many young ladies in the production crew to be fearful and dare not go near Wang Mang, rather frightened of him.

  Wang Mang knew that his appearance was a little scary to some people, so he tried his best to stand in a secluded corner and not go near crowded spots…


  However, Wang Mang used to be a soldier, so regardless of the muscles on his body and the masculine aura he gave off, merely standing there would garner others' attention. Although he wasn't considered tall, one couldn't deny his presence even if they tried.

  Lin Nuan held the mineral water bottle in her hands and said to Wang Mang, "We met in Iraq…"

  Wang Mang looked at Lin Nuan and nodded, but he said nothing.

  Lin Nuan leaned against the edge of the table awkwardly as she spoke to Wang Mang. "Back then, it was you and Huai'an who rescued us. All of you had camouflage painting over your faces, so I didn't know who you were! Not just me… Back then, the people you guys rescued had no idea either. At the time, we barely managed to escape death, so everyone was still in shock… None of us had the time to thank you guys! By the time the feeling of shock wore off, we had returned to our country, and we no longer had the chance to thank you because nobody knew who you were!"

  Wang Mang only spoke after Lin Nuan finished. "We're soldiers!"

  Lin Nuan understood Wang Mang's meaning, so she nodded. They were soldiers, so they took it as their responsibility to rescue their citizens.

  "There's another matter. I'm not sure if Xing Feng mentioned it to you…" Lin Nuan's hand tightened on the edge of the table, her fingernails nearly digging into it. "Feng Yang is no longer around…"

  At the mention of Feng Yang, emotions were stirred in Wang Mang's peaceful and deep eyes. His brows furrowed as he nodded.

  "What happened to Feng Yang's wife, did Xing Feng tell you about it?" Lin Nuan asked.

  Wang Mang nodded again, his masseter muscle looking apparent on his thin face!

  Lin Nuan straightened her body, then edged closer to Wang Mang, "There's another thing you might not know. Qin Zhe went to Dubai to avenge Feng Yang and Feng Yang's wife and kid. He begged Huai'an to send him there! Honestly speaking, I didn't approve of this, as I was afraid it might implicate Huai'an! But Huai'an still helped Qin Zhe anyway. Those few days, I paid special attention to the news in Dubai. I saw on the news that a private island exploded because the island's owner hid army ammunition, and, because he didn't store it properly, it led to an explosion of the arsenal. Coincidentally, it ignited the natural gas pipeline, and raging fire spread through the pipeline and led to an explosion. In the end, fire engulfed the entire island…"

  Wang Mang's countenance turned grim, his black and resolute eyes slightly trembling as he looked at Lin Nuan.

  "No one survived on the island…" Lin Nuan's eyes reddened as she spoke, her brows knitted.

  Wang Mang's throat vibrated, making clacking sounds as he clenched his fists.

  The girls by the side speculated about whether Wang Mang was about to hit Lin Nuan in soft voices…


  Not far away, You Nainai looked in Lin Nuan's direction. Knowing the relationship between Wang Mang and Fu Huai'an, and also knowing that Wang Mang wouldn't get physical with Lin Nuan, You Nainai didn't go over to them.

  "Wang Mang, I heard that you're not planning to live alone as a bachelor, that you have plans to get married and have children. Since this is the case… I feel that you shouldn't easily expose your facial features before others. This way, when I ask sharper questions, you can answer with no qualms!" Lin Nuan gazed at Wang Mang deeply. "I feel that even if others get to see the scars on your face, they won't be able to feel the way you do about your experiences. There's nothing more important than your safety! For your sake, for the sake of your future wife and children, and for the comrades who care about you!"

  Wang Mang lowered his gaze as Lin Nuan finished her words, slowly unclenching his fists…


  "Wang Mang, even if you don't reveal your face, merely standing there and not talking, the aura you give off tells others that you're a soldier! Putting on a mask and sunglasses won't make others feel that you've brought disgrace to the identity of a soldier!" Seeing that Wang Mang was wavering, Lin Nuan continued, "For the sake of those who care about you… consider my suggestion!"

  After a long while, Wang Mang nodded. "Okay… I'll put it on!"

  Lin Nuan revealed a smile towards Wang Mang.

  The production crew quickly brought over the mask and sunglasses that they had prepared for Wang Mang, and Wang Mang cooperatively put them on…


  Wang Mang wasn't considered tall, but the training he underwent in the army gave him an great figure. With well-developed muscles, he looked like a weightlifter. Even with sunglasses and a mask on, he exuded a sense of justice.
