Xiao Jing took advantage of Lin Qi’s confusion and ran towards the bathhouse door without looking back.
Lin Qi came back to his senses, looked at the back figure that was almost fleeing in panic and frowned: Why did he feel that Lieutenant Xiao was as surprised as if he had seen a ghost when he saw me?
Xiao Jing had just run out of the bathhouse when she heard the sound of a conversation coming closer and closer. She felt very nervous. She looked around the buildings and made sure that there was a blind spot for surveillance at the stairs, then she ran over in a hurry.
Lin Qi chased Xiao Jing out of the bathhouse, only to see Xiao Jing running towards the stairs. He walked over in confusion.
Xiao Jing hurriedly put on her clothes and stuck half of her head out in panic, just in time to see Lin Qi rushing towards her.
Lin Qi carefully looked at Xiao Jing who was hiding in the corner of the stairs and refused to come out, and frowned and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Xiao Jing said vaguely, “There is a large burn mark on my back. It doesn’t look good.”
Lin Qi couldn’t help but smile and said, “So you just ran away in secret like this?”
“I have low self-esteem.” Xiao Jing said seriously.
Lin Qi walked forward and squatted in front of Xiao Jing. He also put away the smile on his face and said seriously, “Everyone in our special forces has scars all over their bodies. You don’t have to be so self-deprecating. Let me see, is it serious?”
As he spoke, Lin Qi began to strip Xiao Jing’s clothes.
Xiao Jing shook her head and refused: “Don’t do this, I will be very sad.”
Lin Qi hurriedly stopped and apologized, “I seem to have ignored your feelings.”
Xiao Jing lowered her head, thinking about what excuse she could use to trick this stubborn and persistent Lin Qi away. However, before she could think of a strategy to deal with the enemy, she was suddenly hugged.
Lin Qi opened his arms and hugged him, “Was it the burn you got during the last mission?”
Xiao Jing’s body was so stiff that she dared not move. She blinked, a little dazed.
Lin Qi said again: “This is my fault. If I hadn’t asked you to leave that day, would the series of events that followed have not happened?”
Xiao Jing frowned and complained in her heart, of course it was your fault. If I had obediently followed the captain’s orders that day and sent you back to the church, how could my perfect disguise have been exposed?
Lin Qi looked at Xiao Jing with self-blame, his eyes filled with sadness. He then said, “I’m sorry. I wanted to say sorry to you a long time ago. It was my self-righteousness that almost killed you.”
“Don’t be like this, it’s just a minor injury.” Xiao Jing felt that she needed to divert this guy’s thoughts.
Lin Qi lowered his eyes and said again: “Don’t worry, I will be responsible for you.”
“…” Wait, what is this being responsible?
Lin Qi said solemnly: “If anyone dislikes the injury on your back in the future, I will take care of you for the rest of your life.”
“…” Wait, what do you mean by taking care of me for a lifetime? Have we confused our identities?
Lin Qi patted his chest and assured him again in a sonorous and powerful tone: “Don’t feel any psychological burden. I will do what I say.”
“No, that’s not right, Lin Qi, are you overthinking it?” Xiao Jing reminded him at the right time that this sentence was very ambiguous.
“I didn’t think too much. What I said was true. I know that with the Xiao family’s connections, you don’t need me to protect your future, but I will tell you very carefully that I am willing to be your retreat.”
Xiao Jing stood up in panic, feeling that Lin Qi’s words were becoming more and more strange. She then said, “You are such a joker.”
Lin Qi was still squatting there, covering his head. It seemed that he had said something wrong because of the heat of the moment.
Xiao Jing was sure that he didn’t follow her and gradually felt relieved.
“Second Lieutenant Xiao.”
A rude male voice sounded from behind Xiao Jing. Just as she turned around, a figure rushed towards her.
Lian Qing hugged her and cried aggrievedly, “Second Lieutenant Xiao, I need comfort. Your deputy captain is too bullying.”
Xiao Jing knew what he meant. She raised her hand and gently patted his back. She sighed and said, “I’ve told you before that our deputy captain is a very serious person. You said these frivolous words to him. He has already given enough face to our 525th Regiment by not beating you up.”
“But I feel wronged.” Lian Qing pouted, “I feel my dignity has been insulted.”
“Captain, I have something to say to you.”
“Don’t say anything.” Lian Qing covered Xiao Jing’s mouth with his hand. He understood what he meant and nodded, “I know you want to seek justice for me, but forget it. We can’t just seek temporary happiness and forget our mission.”
Xiao Jing pulled his hand away and said, “I want to say——”
“That’s enough, Xiao Jing. I’ve told you that we are in the Iron Eagle Special Forces. We can’t just think about eating and drinking for free like we did in the 525th Regiment.”
“……”I have something to say, MMP, but I don’t know whether I should say it or not.
Lian Qing looked up at the sky and raised his fist firmly. “I have a heart dedicated to serving my country. Special operations training is nothing. As long as the country needs me, I will immediately shoulder the heavy artillery, hold the machine gun, and charge into battle without hesitation.”
The corners of Xiao Jing’s mouth twitched slightly. Her former captain seemed too much like a psychopath. What should she do?
Lian Qing stood up straight and saluted Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing frowned, not understanding his intention.
Lian Qing shouted, “Hello, instructor.”
Xiao Jing twisted her neck stiffly behind herself, and sure enough, Qi Yue was standing behind her with a smile on his face, wearing his particularly dazzling sunglasses.
She couldn’t help but raise her middle finger towards Lian Qing who was standing straight in front of her.
Qi Yue took off his sunglasses, examined Xiao Jing from head to toe, and said, “Since you’re back on the team, gather at the training area in Zone C at 4pm.”
“Yes, instructor.” Xiao Jing replied.
Lian Qing saw Qi Yue walking away and pouted his lips in grievance again, “Second Lieutenant Xiao, what kind of training is this?”
Xiao Jing glanced at him and said, “Captain Lian, do you know how you will be killed in the future?”
Lian Qing shook his head.
“You are such a shameless bast**d.” Xiao Jing glared at him.
“Are you scolding me?”
“No, I’m praising you. I’m praising you for not only your beautiful appearance, but also your beautiful thoughts. The country owes you a trophy, the Fence-Sitter Trophy.”
Lian Qing laughed, “This is also a kind of ability, Lieutenant Xiao, you have to protect me well later.”
“Well, don’t worry, I will protect you like a cub and make sure you reach the finish line behind me.”
Lian Qing raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder, overjoyed, “I knew that my Second Lieutenant Xiao’s heart was full of me. Even after arriving at the special operations team, you still love me wholeheartedly, you little naughty boy.”
Xiao Jing wanted to break free from this guy’s arms, but this guy was as persistent as a mountain and could not move once he was pressed down on her.
It was a little chilly at night, and the night wind blew violently through the window.
Xiao Jing stood in front of the window. After a day of training, she felt a little tired. She walked back to the bed and looked at the newly changed sheets. For a moment, she felt an indescribable loneliness.
The proud and stuffy captain always liked to stare at her in an unfriendly manner with his dead eyes and his eyebrows and eyes were always full of pettiness. He was obviously living in someone else’s room, sleeping in someone else’s bed, and covered with someone else’s quilt, but he still said proudly that she was not allowed to think about sleeping with him.
“Puchi.” Xiao Jing couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
She was suddenly stunned and covered her face in surprise. What was wrong with her? She could not help but think of the King of Hell who would torture her from time to time.
She shook her head hastily to keep herself awake, then lay back on the bed and closed her eyes.
The moonlight fell softly on the windowsill, and in the originally quiet room there was a sound of deep and shallow breathing.
Xiao Jing turned over, and it seemed as if there was a figure sitting in front of her, real or unreal. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw a person sitting upright as if waiting for her to wake up.
“Oh my God.” Xiao Jing was startled. She sat up from the bed in disbelief and stared at the strange man in her room.
The man had a stern face, emitting a strong aura that kept strangers away from him from the inside out.
Xiao Jing looked at the stranger in fear. She didn’t seem to know this person in her memory, but she felt that his face looked familiar.
The man got straight to the point: “My name is Shen Shengyi, your captain’s second brother.”
Xiao Jing of course knew the identity of this name, and hurriedly stood up from the bed, stood straight, and saluted with his head held high, “Yes, sir.”
Shen Shengyi did not hesitate and said directly, “You were present when Admiral Xu was negotiating the mission with my third brother yesterday, right?”
Xiao Jing nodded, “Yes, sir.”
“You saw the target person’s appearance at that time, right?” Shen Shengyi continued to ask.
Xiao Jing nodded without thinking, “Yes, sir.”
“Can you remember what he looks like?”
Xiao Jing hesitated now. Did the superior require her to remember it or not?
“Tell the truth.” Shen Shengyi saw her hesitation and pointed it out again.
Xiao Jing nodded.
Shen Shengyi stood up and walked straight forward.
Xiao Jing swallowed nervously. Could it be that the person couldn’t be seen?
Shen Shengyi continued, “Before yesterday, this person was under special protection from the higher-ups. Apart from Admiral Xu, none of us had direct contact with him, so I don’t know what this person looks like.”
Xiao Jing asked hesitantly, “Do you need me to draw it for you?”
“You can’t draw it. You can’t even remember what this person looks like.”
Xiao Jing couldn’t help but tug at her trouser legs. Was she going to be put in solitary confinement?
“It’s just that there’s been a little accident right now, and we need you to remember what he looks like.”
Xiao Jing frowned, she was a little confused by the contradictory words.
Shen Shengyi continued, “The third brother has lost contact. It is very likely that he has been discovered. Although he has a special body, unfortunately this person is the one who has been responsible for studying him for many years, so he knows the third brother’s weaknesses.”
“The one who studied him?”
“This is confidential and should not be told to you, but I believe you know what to remember and what not to remember.”
Xiao Jing nodded quickly, “Yes, sir.”
“This person has all the research data from these years. We must destroy it before he sells it, including himself. This is a very difficult task, a very difficult task.”
Xiao Jing seemed to understand something.
“You should know that my third brother’s body is special. His body was not born this way. You know what I mean.”
“Um.”
Shen Shengyi handed over the secret document and said, “After you sign, I will send you out of the country, and you will take over the task from my third brother.”
Xiao Jing opened the document and signed her name with a serious expression.
“This mission is difficult. None of us can guarantee that we can get you out of this unscathed. But I have no choice but to ask you. This person cannot be allowed to live. Even a fourth person cannot know his identity, his appearance, or anything about him. Once the news leaks out, no one can guarantee that other countries will not know about it. Therefore, you will not have any support for this mission.”
Xiao Jing nodded carefully.
“Come with me.” Shen Shengyi pushed the door open first.
As the sun broke out at dawn, the thick white clouds above the sky began to crack into lines, as if they were covered with red frost, gorgeous and beautiful.
Xiao Jing sat in the car and glanced at the camp behind her through the rearview mirror. She knew that this journey would not be easy and she didn’t even know if she could come back alive.
“Are you scared?” Shen Shengyi’s voice was a little low, but it sounded like thunder in a drought.
Xiao Jing shook her head, “I’m a soldier.”
“I know you are the fourth son of the Xiao family. I also know you are a newcomer who was promoted this year. Logically, such a task should not be assigned to you, but unfortunately, you saw something you shouldn’t have seen, and you are the only one who remembers what this person looks like.”
“I know my mission and responsibility, and I will do my best to complete it.”
Shen Shengyi glanced at the young and immature face in the co-pilot seat and suggested, “This mission is unusual. I can give you a suggestion. I see that you are quite good-looking. You can try to enter the country disguised as a woman. This will not only confuse the other party’s vigilance but also save a lot of unnecessary trouble.”
“…”
“I’m just suggesting something. If it were a rough guy like my third brother, I wouldn’t express such an unspoken opinion. After all, the Golden Leaf Country is a feminist country. Do you understand what I mean?”
Haha, sir, you have a very creative mind. Whatever you say is right. As long as you are happy, that’s all.
….
On the other side of the earth, in the country MM, which was an international financial center, in the airport hall, a woman was pushing a suitcase. She was wearing white sneakers, sexy denim hot pants, and her long hair fluttered in the wind. She received several envious glances along the way.
With a tall figure of 1.78 meters, a naturally fair complexion even without any makeup, and a waist-length wig on, Xiao Jing walked in the spacious airport hall. She felt like a princess in a TV drama who appeared with a halo. Wherever she went, she was admired.
But……
Xiao Jing had just walked out of the airport gate when she was frozen back again. She looked around with a wry smile. Everyone was wearing thick woolen clothes and staring at her in surprise as if she were an idiot.
Xiao Jing ran back to the airport dejectedly and rummaged through the suitcase that Shen Shengyi had prepared for her. The moment she opened it, her pupils contracted and she quickly closed it, as if she was afraid of being seen by others.
She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. How did these things get delivered to her?
Without clothes, Xiao Jing could only rush into the heavy snow with her head down. She hailed a taxi and said tremblingly, “Excuse me, the nearest clothing store.”
Seeing her trembling, the taxi driver suppressed a smile, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away.
Xiao Jing changed into a new outfit, a leather jacket, leather pants and a pair of knee-high boots. She felt that at this moment she looked just like those heroic girls in the movies who save the earth.
Hahahaha, I was moved to tears by my own beauty.
Xiao Jing took only one step before she stumbled. Her high heels made her unstable, and she swayed and finally fell to her knees.
An old man walked past her and said in a friendly manner, “Young girl, don’t be so polite. Get up.”
Xiao Jing stood up awkwardly, holding on to the wall, and looked at her seven-inch high heels. I am used to a rougher life.
After changing back into flat shoes, Xiao Jing felt that the most urgent task was to find the missing captain first.
Shen Shengyi said that the captain disappeared at Queen Street. Judging from the last message he sent, he must have exposed himself and disappeared after being besieged.
Xiao Jing was walking along the bustling Queen Street carrying a suitcase. There were a wide variety of snacks with countless flavors from various countries.
“Ma’am, would you like some coffee?” The shop owner asked when he saw Xiao Jing wandering outside his shop.
Xiao Jing nodded, but her eyes were fixed on a small bullet mark on the wall.
The shopkeeper noticed her gaze and explained, “I heard something happened on the street last night. Don’t worry, the security here is very good, but no one can guarantee that a few drunks will appear in the middle of the night.”
Xiao Jing took the coffee cup and said with a smile, “Thank you.”
The neighborhood was busy and crowded.
Xiao Jing was passing by a shop accidentally but was suddenly startled. She hurriedly turned back, her pupils focused, looking at the deep hole on the wall. From a visual point of view, it was not a sign of being smashed, but it seemed to have been corroded by something.
“The commotion last night was horrible.” One person sighed, “It seemed like there was a gunfight on the whole street.”
Xiao Jing stood up straight so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. She had to avoid these sensitive topics as much as possible.
The woman took the initiative to speak: “I heard that a man was arrested. He should be dead. These days are too chaotic.”
Xiao Jing’s heart sank, but she remained calm. She asked, “It seems that the situation is really serious. Everyone seems to be talking about it.”
“Of course. It was right downstairs of my house, as deafening as firecrackers. The person who was caught should have been thrown into the death pool. I really don’t know what happened.”
Xiao Jing felt a little uneasy in her heart. She didn’t know what the death pool was, but it was not difficult to guess what place it was from what the woman said.
“Would you like some chocolate?” The woman opened her cupboard and introduced: “Chocolate and coffee are the best combination.”
Xiao Jing nodded, “Thank you.”
Taking the chocolate beans, Xiao Jing walked quickly across Queen Street. She looked up at the high wall in front of her, stepped over the trash can beside her, jumped up nimbly, successfully crossed the alley, and walked to the next street.
