The footsteps echoed in the corridor in an orderly manner through a quiet safe pa.s.sage.
Xiao Jing, wearing the same security uniform and wearing a Bluetooth comm headset, cautiously walked on the VViP channel.
The huge wings of the plane were shaking as they rumbled. The escalator was attached to the cabin door, and the cabin door slowly opened. The woman in the suit waved to all the flight attendants gently and calmly.
As a member of the Special Forces, Xiao Jing needed close protection and was arranged to enter the same car.
The Secretary-General handed over the schedule and said in a hushed voice, "Comrade Officer, this is the schedule for the special one. Please read it and then destroy it. Other than you, please don"t let the third person know. Thank you for your cooperation."
Xiao Jing read it word for word. The journey was simple. It was nothing more than an interview, an interview, and an interview.
As the leader"s bodyguard, other than not being able to enter the hotel room, she had to guard the hotel"s door twenty-four hours a day, eating and drinking together.
In the middle of the night, a dining car slowly rolled over from the end of the corridor without alarming anyone.
Xiao Jing carefully examined the dining cart. After confirming that there was no mistake, she opened the door of the suite.
The waiter carefully pushed the dining cart into the room.
The door closed automatically.
Xiao Jing took a light breath, as if this quest was a little too simple for her.
"Officer, you must be hungry. It"s supper. I asked the kitchen to prepare it for you."
The Secretary-General himself came forward with the box.
Xiao Jing sniffed the thick fragrance of the cheese in the air. After taking only one sip, she was shocked.
Upon seeing this, the Secretary-General hurriedly asked, "What"s wrong?"
"Don"t it taste good?"
Xiao Jing carefully recalled what kind of food the waiter was pus.h.i.+ng. There was a bright red chili concoction, and there was also a salad and a pile of real food from Flower Country.
The Secretary General tensed his nerves and asked uncomprehendingly, "Comrade Officer, is there something wrong?"
Xiao Jing handed the lunch box back to the Secretary-General, took out her card, and pushed the door open without any hesitation.
The room was quiet, the humidifier spraying water mist quietly.
"Uh-huh."
The woman was left on the sofa with her hands and feet tied, and in front of her, a man was searching for something.
"Ah!"
The Secretary-General lost his composure and shouted.
The man snapped out of his daze, grabbed the woman, pressed his weapon to her temple, bared his teeth, and shouted, "Don"t come over, or I"ll kill her."
Xiao Jing held the matching spear and did not move.
"Put the gun down."
The man roared.
Xiao Jing looked at the trunk behind the man. The entire trunk had been rummaged through. He must be looking for something very valuable.
"Kill him."
The woman seemed to not care about life and death, directly giving the order.
The man used a bit of strength to lean against the woman"s ear and coldly said, "Do you think your current orders are still effective?"
"Don"t forget, you won"t be able to survive if I die."
"Kill him."
The woman"s tone was accentuated.
Sweat dripped down Xiao Jing"s forehead. She held her breath as she stared unblinkingly at the two of them, who were discussing something.
"Bang!"
Without any hesitation, the bullet shot out from the gun. While the man was speaking, the bullet landed heavily on the exposed corner of the man"s shoulder.
"Ah!"
The man subconsciously loosened his grip on the woman"s hand.
Xiao Jing took three steps forward and rushed forward. Taking advantage of the moment when her opponent subconsciously covered her wounds, she pulled the woman behind her to protect her. Then, she fired two shots in quick succession.
"Bang, bang."
The man flipped over. This was the eighth floor. He seemed to know the geography of this place. He leaped up and landed on the balcony of the seventh floor.
"Are you all right?"
The Secretary-General hurriedly untied the woman.
"Pah!"
The woman angrily slapped Xiao Jing"s face and shouted, "Why did you let him go!"
"I said kill him!"
The unforeseen event happened too fast. One could only hear the crisp sound of a slap in the air.
"Pah!"
Xiao Jing slapped back with her palm.
The air suddenly became quiet, as if the entire room was dead silent.
"Sorry for the instinctive reaction."
Xiao Jing stood up with a meticulous expression on her face, as if she was narrating a very ordinary small matter.
"You dare to hit me, who are you?"
"I thought it was an enemy attack."
Xiao Jing replied with a serious expression.
The woman pretended to slap him again.
The Secretary-General quickly pulled the angry leader aside and said softly in his own language, "Please calm down first. This matter has been taken care of by the council."
"These are the soldiers of Flower Country. We have no right to order them to deal with anyone, let alone punish them."
The woman arrogantly pulled the hairpin off her head, threw it on the table in anger and said with a cold snort, "I was attacked in the Flower Country, I want to change my guard."
She looked at the overbearing leaders of other countries, and said in a calm and indifferent tone, "You do have the right to change the bodyguards around you, but you don"t have the right to control my actions. My responsibility is only to protect you, not to act as your follower and follow you around. Since we are no longer in danger, I will leave first."
"You —"
Xiao Jing stopped and raised her hand to point at her own face. She once again said, "a.s.sa.s.sinating soldiers in our country requires punishment. Regardless of whether or not you are a distinguished guest, your actions have seriously threatened the friends.h.i.+p between our two countries."
"I want to replace you!"
The woman smashed the gla.s.s.
Xiao Jing didn"t mind at all as she looked at the gla.s.s shards on the floor. She directly opened the door and walked out.
The Secretary-General squatted down and cleaned up the debris on the floor. He then poured a cup of warm water and said in a low voice, "Please rest first."
"Inform Flower Country"s military defense department, I want to replace this person."
The Secretary-General nodded, "Yes."
"And tell him to shut up about tonight."
"Yes."
The Secretary-General quietly walked out of the guest room.
Xiao Jing was still standing upright outside of the guest room, completely ignoring the people who appeared beside her.
The Secretary-General explained apologetically, "Before he arrived, the envoy was attacked, so his emotions fluctuated a little. I hope that our officer comrade can empathize with him."
"My job is to protect the Leader. As for her emotions, I have no qualms about them."
"Thank you for your quick reaction, otherwise our envoy would have been insulted if he hadn"t been injured. It"s just that tonight we hope that our officer will remain silent."
"I"m sorry, but my job is to report to my superiors every day."
"This …"
"Including the envoy who attacked me."
Xiao Jing glanced at the Secretary-General with a troubled expression. She raised her hand and pressed down the communicator. With a cold tone, she said, "We"ve changed s.h.i.+fts."
The night was hazy, and the neon lights of the big city reflected brightly on the windowsill.
Xiao Jing sat on the chair and rubbed her sore cheeks. She opened a bottle of soda and drank it all in one breath.
"Ding … …"
The old man"s engine was stirring up in his bed, unwilling to be left alone.
Xiao Jing looked at the number on it. This phone had been switched off for two years. She didn"t know who would call her at this time.
With a puzzled heart, she pressed the answer b.u.t.ton.
"I already know what happened tonight."
A deep male voice came from the receiver.
Xiao Jing sat cross-legged on the bed, hesitating to speak.
"As a soldier, you can"t fight back."
the man said again.
Xiao Jing rested her head on one hand, not knowing what to say. If she said she had already fought back, would her own captain jump out of his phone and ask her to go to bed for two hundred push-ups?
It was sad to think about it.
"But as a person, when faced with danger, your body will instinctively react to it. For example, if she hits you, you can"t help but slap it back. This is within reason."
Xiao Jing couldn"t help but laugh. "Captain, you mean you"re allowing me to fight my way back?"
"My soldiers have no right to be lectured."
The corner of Xiao Jing"s mouth curled up as she lay back on her pillow. She looked at the flickering light on the ceiling and smiled, "Captain, is it considered a violation of the law for you to instigate your own soldiers like this?"
"I"m rather protective."
Shen Chengfeng put down his phone and his gaze flickered to the report sent over by the Jia Ye Country. It was clearly written with a notice about Xiao Jing being replaced.
The notice is as follows: Comrade Xiao Jing pa.s.sively neglects the protection work, so that the safety of our country"s leaders.h.i.+p is threatened around 9: 30 this evening, we hereby request your country to a.s.sign more suitable protection personnel.
His life was in danger?
Shen Chengfeng was amused by these words.
"Dong, dong, dong."
The first ray of sunlight broke through the curtain and quietly climbed up the window.
When Xiao Jing heard the rhythmic knocking on the door, she frowned and stood up.
"Comrade officer, are you awake?"
The Secretary-General stood outside the door, still smiling his humble, courteous smile.
Xiao Jing gave herself a simple brush before opening the door. "It"s only at nine o"clock when we get to the first stop. Is there anything I can do for you this early in the morning?"
"Yes, our leader has decided to set out ahead of time and admire the scenery of the Flower Country."
The Secretary-General explained.
"Got it, I"ll be right out."
Xiao Jing closed the door, changed into a set of security clothes, and walked out of the guest room in a dignified manner.
The Secretary-General opened his mobile phone"s mailbox. When he saw that the request to replace the security personnel had been rejected, he could not help but frown.
As soon as the woman walked out of the hotel, she saw the expressionless Xiao Jing standing next to the car. She fiercely glared at the Secretary-General beside her.
The Secretary-General lowered his voice and said, "We should believe in the ability of the Flower Country. The people they sent could not possibly be half-baked trash."
The woman walked arrogantly past Xiao Jing with her high-heeled shoes. Her eyes swept across the room as she got into the car.
Xiao Jing turned around and opened the pa.s.senger seat. She also got into the car. Looking through the rearview mirror, she saw a pair of angry eyes behind her and unconcernedly buckled her seat belt.
What should he do?
I like to see how you look at me and you can"t get rid of me. It"s like being constipated.
The three private cars drove towards the National Affairs Bureau in a formidable array.
"What"s the matter today?"
The woman glanced at the Secretary-General, who was in the middle of his business.
The Secretary-General nodded. "A domestic bill is under way."
"Show me."
"Clang!"
Before the woman could finish her sentence, the car suddenly lost its balance after a jolt.
"What"s going on?"
Xiao Jing rolled down the window and looked at the nail behind the car. She said in surprise, "There"s an attack."
Before the two cars behind the car could react, the bodyguards were hit by a bullet as soon as they opened the door.
"Bang!"
A tear gas shot up and rolled directly under the car.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough."
The four people in the car coughed nonstop.
"Get out, get out!"
The Secretary-General is preparing to open the door.
"Don"t drive."
Xiao Jing loudly shouted, but she didn"t have the time to stop the Secretary-General from acting on his own.
As soon as the Secretary-General stepped down, a bullet came flying through the air and hit his right lower leg.
"Ah!"
The woman screamed.
Xiao Jing looked around and finally saw a bit of light reflecting off of the tall building in front of her.
She pushed open a corner of the door and rolled out, opening the rear door to s.h.i.+eld the screaming woman behind her.
The woman had lost her composure. She crouched down, not daring to move.
The sound of a police car driving could be heard nearby. Xiao Jing took out the sniper rifle she had prepared from under her seat and hid behind the cover. With a flash of sunlight, a bullet pierced through the air.
"BOOM!"
The reflected light spot on the tall building shook, causing the other party to lose the ability to fight.
"Kill them all! Kill them all!"
The woman screamed crazily.
Xiao Jing ignored the woman who had lost her composure and carefully led her away from the chopping block. She was sure that the other party had a sniper waiting for them to reveal themselves.
"I"ll let you shoot."
A woman just wanted to slap him again.
Xiao Jing grabbed her hand and threw it to the side. She expressionlessly said, "Shut up."
"You dare to desecrate my ident.i.ty?"
"Right now, I am not blaspheming you, but you are attacking me. I have every reason to retaliate against you."
"What do you want to do?"
The woman was stunned. She looked at him and silently felt a swirl under his eyes. It was as if he had silently devoured her body.
Xiao Jing grabbed her hand and cautiously moved forward. After confirming that there were no escape routes, she solemnly said, "The rescue is already here. Stay here and don"t come out."
"You dare order me around?"
"You can rush out without fear of death. As long as you keep a breath, I believe our medical technology will successfully rescue you."
"You —"
Xiao Jing automatically ignored her roar as she bared her teeth. She pounced forward and rolled forward a few times. The bullets were like rain that could not penetrate through the wind as they rained down on her.
"Bang, bang, bang."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh."
Xiao Jing used her body as bait to pinpoint the three hidden sniper positions. She did not hesitate to set up the sniper rifle and pull the trigger.
When the woman saw that the flames of war had stopped, she furiously stood up once again and pointed at the arriving rescue workers. She roared, "I want to see your leader. Is this how you treat your distinguished guests?"
"I am a distinguished guest, and I have come today in good faith. I did not expect to encounter such a crisis in your country."
"I think I need to talk to Lady Lillian face-to-face, too."
Shen Chengfeng walked out from behind the crowd. Behind him were the hunters who were preparing to run for their lives.
When the woman saw these people, her expression became serious as she yelled without hesitation, "Kill them! Quickly, kill them!"
"Lady Lillian, this seems to be someone from your country."
Shen Chengfeng opened their masks and emphasized, "I can now suspect that you did not come to our country to befriend you, but to seek refuge!"
"Nonsense, completely nonsense."
"This is the latest information I"ve received. Does Miss Lillian still want to hear about it?"
"You, you guys —"
"By law, send a plane to escort the Lyriant home."
Shen Chengfeng raised his hand and the armed forces behind him readied themselves.
"I am here to visit. You have no right to order me to leave the country at any time."
Yes, we have no right to prevent you from leaving, but now that you have brought a crisis to our country, according to international law, we must immediately stop any visits and send you back. If you insist on staying here, I can issue a repatriation order.
Xiao Jing gasped for breath as she withdrew her sniper rifle. Just as she raised her head, she saw a man wearing a thick military uniform.
His height of 1.87 meters was like a crane among chickens. He seemed to have noticed his gaze as he turned around and met his gaze.
Shen Chengfeng strode forward like a shooting star and gently touched Xiao Jing"s head.
Xiao Jing stood up and saluted, "Captain."
"With your intelligence, I think you"ve guessed it."
Shen Chengfeng did not intend to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
At first, Xiao Jing was still wondering why this woman was ambushed one after another the moment she arrived at Flower Country. Now, it seemed that everything was within her captain"s control.
"In addition to the Ye Family"s transformation, she came to the Flower Country to seek refuge, and secondly, to win over our country."
It was not as simple as he thought.
"This is a good training opportunity. You"ve done it well."
Xiao Jing clenched her teeth. She suddenly felt like she had been slapped in the face for nothing.
After the scene was cleaned up by the special forces, Shen Chengfeng led Xiao Jing to the SUV and drove off.
In the car, the atmosphere was rather depressing.
Xiao Jing quietly wiped her face with a clean towel.
"Captain."
After a while, Xiao Jing could not help but break this strange silence.
"Yes."
Shen Chengfeng stared ahead and replied in a formal manner.
Xiao Jing repeatedly thought about what she had said and said, "Captain, you knew that this raid would come early, right?"
"Yes."
It was still a simple word.
"So you"ve been following us?"
"Yes."
"If I couldn"t complete my task at the time, would you have come out and shot those people?"
"Nope."
Xiao Jing"s mouth twitched. "What do you mean I don"t know?"
Would he just watch as he was turned into a beehive eye?
Shen Chengfeng glanced at the expectant Xiao Jing from the corner of his eye and said calmly, "If I appear at the critical moment, I will give Jia Ye a reason to stay in my country. The second reason will give you an invisible sense of security, allowing you to have a psychological state of mind when you go on the next mission. If you are in any danger, someone will take care of you."
Do I look like the kind of kid you"re supposed to feed?
"You should trust yourself. You did well today."
Shen Chengfeng softened his tone and there was a hint of gentleness in his voice.
Xiao Jing smiled. "Captain, are you praising me?"
"Yes."
It was a very light and seemingly casual reply. However, it landed squarely on Xiao Jing"s chest. She could not help but curl her eyebrows in a smile.
Shen Chengfeng did not think much of it as he looked at the crescent moon in his eyes. His hands gripping the steering wheel could not help but tighten their grip.
Overstatement -
Two more.
