The next morning, Gu Zhen received an urgent call.
His expression changed instantly.
The gentle husband disappeared.
The powerful military commander returned.
“I understand. Prepare the team.”
Li Xinyue noticed the change in him.
She had seen this side of him before.
The side that belonged to the battlefield.
After ending the call, Gu Zhen looked at her.
“I have a mission.”
Her heart tightened.
Even though she had lived this moment before, the fear was different now.
Because this time…
She cared about him.
“When will you leave?”
“Tonight.”
Li Xinyue lowered her eyes.
She wanted to tell him to be careful.
She wanted to tell him not to get hurt.
But she knew his responsibility was important.
“Then promise me something.”
Gu Zhen looked at her.
“Return safely.”
The room became silent.
In the past, she had never said those words.
Not once.
A small change appeared in Gu Zhen’s eyes.
“I promise.”
That night, Gu Zhen left the city.
But what Li Xinyue did not know was that he was not only General Gu.
In the military world, he had another identity.
Shadow Wolf.
A name that made enemies tremble.
A mysterious commander who completed impossible missions.
A person whose true identity was hidden from almost everyone.
Inside the military vehicle, Gu Zhen looked through the mission details.
“Commander, the enemy has started investigating Shadow Wolf’s identity.”
A soldier reported.
Gu Zhen’s eyes turned cold.
“Make sure they find nothing.”
“Yes, Commander.”
Nobody knew that the strongest man on the battlefield now had something precious to protect.
His wife.
Meanwhile, Li Xinyue stood beside the window, watching the darkness outside.
In her previous life, she never understood the fear of loving a military man.
She never understood what it felt like to wait for someone who might not return.
She placed her hand over her heart.
“Gu Zhen…”
“Come back safely.”
But somewhere in the darkness…
A hidden enemy was already watching.
And soon, they would discover the weakness of the legendary Shadow Wolf.
Not a weapon.
Not power.
But the woman waiting for him at home.
