Liu Dongmei's shock was blurted out, but her expression was beyond astonishment.

Liu Zhizhong's shock left him dumbstruck, his mouth moved but no sound came out, yet his eyes were brimming with tears.

In front of them stood a man, 1.85 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a straight, robust stature like a javelin.

His square face was slightly dark, with brows like swords and eyes like cold stars, exuding an aura of majesty and intimidation.

However, as he approached Liu Zhizhong and his companion, he couldn't hold back his tears any longer, and they flowed down his face.

The surprise and joy took only a few seconds before Liu Dongyuan opened his arms and proactively embraced Liu Zhizhong.

In front of him, Liu Zhizhong's slightly over 1.8-meter frame seemed thin, as if he was throwing himself into the embrace.

"Brother Dong Yuan!!!"

"Brother Zhizhong!!!"

In unison, the two strong men hugged each other tightly, tears pouring down like a torrential rain.

At this scene, Lu Ming, standing nearby, almost broke into tears and had to turn away.

The two armed guards didn't say anything, their eyes also filled with tears, yet they stood as straight as ever.

Liu Dongmei, even more tearful, cried out in a sorrowful yet happy exclamation, "Brother Dong Yuan! You tricked me!!!"

Then, filled with passion, she rushed over as well.

Liu Dongyuan could only extend his right arm to pull his cousin in as well.

Liu Dongmei and Liu Zhizhong clung tightly to each other; the emotions and the setting were deeply moving for a moment.

Liu Dongyuan, with his body as strong as steel, held the man and woman with ease.

But his voice choked up, still deep and resonant like a muffled bell, "Circumstances beyond my control, please forgive me! Brother Zhizhong, I never thought we would meet again, what a blessing! I thought, perhaps, you have your own life now and have forgotten me! Dong Mei, I'll always be grateful to you. Only you from the Liu Family Manor remember your brother, hahaha..."

"Brother Dong Yuan, how could I forget you? The world is full of hardships, and I never expected my brother would suffer so much, but seeing such a drastic reversal now, I'm shocked and comforted..."

"Brother Dong Yuan will always be my elder brother, how could I ever forget you? This time, it was Brother Zhizhong who made it possible, and we've brought many things for you..."

"Great, great, thank you, thank you..."

"..."

Liu Zhizhong was truly comforted and overwhelmed with emotions!

Initially, he thought Liu Dongyuan had been in prison for a long time and might never be the master fighter he once was, with family upheavals and a bleak life.

Who would have thought, he's a general!

Truly a general!

Hearing it, Liu Zhizhong couldn't believe it, but the reality was right in front of him, and he believed it with genuine comfort!

However, perhaps due to some special circumstances, does Liu Dongyuan need to conceal his true identity as a general?

This needs to be asked carefully, haha...

Before long, Liu Dongyuan finally released his good brother from university days and his always good cousin.

He looked Liu Zhizhong over, nodded, "Hmm, handsome, still so handsome! And this physique, hmm... even more robust. As an official, could it be you can't fight anymore?"

Liu Zhizhong smiled, "Brother Dong Yuan is so strong and powerful, full of a man's fighting spirit. Over these years, I haven't slackened in my exercises. But you, now that you're a general, can you still fight?"

"Hahaha..." Liu Dongyuan laughed heartily, his voice like a great bell, extremely loud, "Whether I can fight or not, let's spar later! Come, to the outside of my tent, let's sit down and have a good chat, hehe..."
