So that was it.
Lu Mingyu understood, and the slight irritation he felt from his team members' antics vanished.
He patiently explained, "Don't worry, they won't open your package."
"The so-called inspection is just to let the express package pass through the X-ray security machine to confirm there are no dangerous goods."
"No one will look through your personal belongings."
Seeing this reply, Gu Lina Zha on the other end seemed to let out a huge sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good, you scared me to death."
"You can rest assured."
The two chatted casually for a few more sentences.
"Are you still angry with your team members?" Gu Lina Zha asked cautiously.
"They've already been punished," Lu Mingyu replied.
"Ah? You punished them? Is it serious?"
"Just double the training volume."
Gu Lina Zha on the other end of the phone seemed to imagine the group of tough guys complaining bitterly and couldn't help but laugh.
Just then, she sent another message.
"I won't chat with you anymore, my agent is urging me to go shoot an advertisement again."
"Okay, go ahead."
"Mingyu, bye-bye!"
"Bye-bye."
The punishment on the training ground had just ended.
Several members of the Megakaryocyte Special Operations Group dragged their exhausted bodies, supporting each other, towards their captain's office.
Although called an office, it was actually more like a multi-functional room that integrated office work, rest, and tactical simulations.
Li Xiaoniu walked at the very front, holding a medium-sized express package.
He kicked open the office door and weakly shouted, "Captain, your package has arrived!"
Lu Mingyu was sitting at his desk, looking down at a newly received mission briefing.
Hearing the sound, he didn't even raise his head.
"Put it on the desk."
Li Xiaoniu chuckled and eagerly placed the package in front of Lu Mingyu.
"Captain, this was sent from Jiangdu."
"The sender wrote 'Naza', could it be sister-in-law?"
He said this while winking.
The other team members also gathered around, their faces adorned with gossipy smiles.
"Let's see what good things sister-in-law sent you."
Wu Tianlong was even more direct, reaching out to open it.
Lu Mingyu lifted his eyelids and gave them a faint glance.
Just one look made the fearless team members instantly quiet down.
He picked up the package and unhurriedly used the small knife on the desk to cut open the tape.
The package was opened, and it was packed full.
On top were several boxes of imported multivitamin supplements.
Next to them were some pain relief patches for muscle soreness and medicated plasters for promoting blood circulation and dispelling stasis.
Besides these, there were also some high-protein energy bars and several large bags of beef jerky.
They were all practical items that could be used after ultra-high-intensity training.
"My goodness, sister-in-law is too thoughtful!" Zhou Chenguang couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yes, she knows our training is tough."
"Everything she sent is for replenishing energy and treating injuries."
Wang Yanbing also chimed in.
"Captain, you are truly blessed."
Li Xiaoniu looked at these items, his mouth almost watering.
He picked up a bag of beef jerky and looked at Lu Mingyu expectantly.
Lu Mingyu ignored their teasing, taking out the items from the package one by one and arranging them neatly on the desk.
His gaze softened considerably when it touched those items.
Just then, the sharp-eyed Li Xiaoniu discovered a pink envelope pressed at the very bottom of the package.
"Oh? Captain, there's an envelope in here!"
He shouted excitedly, reaching out to take out the envelope.
"Let me help you open it and see if it's a love letter from sister-in-law!"
As soon as his hand touched the envelope, Lu Mingyu's cold voice rang out.
"Li Xiaoniu."
"Ah? Yes, Captain!" Li Xiaoniu shivered, his hand frozen in mid-air.
Lu Mingyu put down the things in his hand and slowly picked up the teacup on the table for a sip.
"I recently read a document that said our aid project department in Africa is very short on staff."
"I heard the scenery there is nice."
"You can experience high-altitude freefall without a parachute for free, and even be neighbors with lions and tigers."
"Do you want to consider it? I can send you over to make a contribution to international friendship?"
Lu Mingyu's tone was calm and unruffled, but to Li Xiaoniu's ears, it was nothing short of a thunderbolt.
He turned pale with fright, retracted his hand like lightning, stood at attention, and shook his head like a rattle-drum.
"No, no, no! Captain, I was wrong!"
"I won't dare to do it again!"
"My heart will always belong to the motherland, to Macrophages!"
Seeing Li Xiaoniu's comical appearance, Wu Tianlong, Zhou Chenguang, and Wang Yanbing couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Wu Tianlong was the first to react; he knew the captain wanted to read the letter alone.
He stepped forward and put his arm around Li Xiaoniu's neck.
"Come on, come on, Xiaoniu, didn't you just say you had a physics problem about parabolas that you couldn't figure out?"
"I'll explain it to you."
"Ah? When did I say—"
Before Li Xiaoniu could finish his sentence, he was forcibly dragged out of the office by Wu Tianlong.
Zhou Chenguang and Wang Yanbing immediately understood.
"Captain, then we'll head out first, we haven't watched the movie we downloaded yesterday yet."
"Right, right, right, we won't bother you."
After speaking, the two also tactfully exited the room, closing the door behind them.
The office instantly returned to quiet.
Lu Mingyu picked up the pink envelope, his fingertips feeling the exquisite texture of the envelope.
He carefully tore open the seal and pulled out several photos from inside.
There were several photos, each one stunning.
In the first photo, Gu Lina Zha wore a white dress.
She stood in a field of blooming sunflowers, with a bright and radiant smile on her face.
Sunlight spilled on her hair, making her entire being seem to glow.
The second photo was taken when she was resting on set, still wearing her ancient costume.
But she held an ice cream in her hand, playfully sticking out her tongue at the camera, appearing mischievous and whimsical.
The third photo was a full-body shot, where she wore tight-fitting workout clothes.
Her perfect body curves were outlined flawlessly.
There were also fine beads of sweat on her forehead, full of a healthy and vibrant beauty.
Lu Mingyu's gaze swept over the photos inch by inch.
His eyes, usually as sharp as an eagle's, were now filled with an unyielding tenderness.
He had to admit, this woman was so beautiful that one couldn't take their eyes off her.
Whether it was her exquisite features or her perfect figure, she held a fatal attraction for him.
He finished looking at the photos one by one.
Then, with extreme cherish, he carefully placed them into the pocket of his upper garment closest to his heart.
After doing all this, he picked up his phone again and sent a message to Gu Lina Zha.
"I received everything, I like them very much."
At the same time, a thousand miles away, in Jiangdu Film and Television City.
In a luxurious nanny van, Gu Lina Zha was engrossed in playing with her phone.
The car door suddenly opened.
A woman wearing a professional suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and looking very astute and capable, got in.
She was Gu Lina Zha's agent, known as Hong Jie.
As soon as Hong Jie got into the car, she saw Gu Lina Zha immersed in her game and immediately became annoyed.
"Gu Lina Zha! My dear young lady!"
"You still have time to play games here?"
"Have you memorized the lines for this afternoon's scene?"
