Lake City is a quiet and beautiful small town located on the east bank of Poyang Lake.
Compared to an international metropolis like Wanghai City, the pace of life here is very slow. There are no high-rise buildings blocking the sky, no bustling crowds, and it is rare to see a steady flow of vehicles on the streets. The buildings on both sides of the street are only four or five stories high, with shop fronts often on the first floor and people living upstairs. Such scenery is rare in Wanghai City.
I am used to seeing the prosperity of big cities, but occasionally breathing the air of a small county town has a unique flavor.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar things outside the window, Jiang Chen felt inexplicably a little shy about his hometown.
Since he was admitted to Wanghai University five years ago, he has rarely come back to visit. After graduation, I didn’t even return home for the New Year. If you calculate carefully, it has been more than two years since I last came back.
With the dream of building his own career in a big city and the reserve of a so-called top student, he made a vow when he graduated that he would never come back until he made a name for himself. Thinking back carefully, when he first graduated, his life could really be described as disgraced.
However, fate is always full of countless accidents. Only one year after these disgraced days, his life has become unimaginably exciting. Not only did he drive a luxury car and drive a beautiful woman back to his hometown, but there was also a Santana from the Seventh Bureau of the General Staff Group behind him.
Even the provincial governor may not receive this kind of treatment.
The car inadvertently passed by the high school he once attended. The familiar school gate and the familiar old face beside the guard room flashed past. Looking at the rusty school badge, Jiang Chen felt a little melancholy for a moment.
"Want to stop here for a while?" Ayesha noticed the change in Jiang Chen's expression and said softly with concern.
"No, I want to go home early." Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen shook his head.
If he had to say who he missed the most, it would undoubtedly be his parents.
Finally going home...
Looking at the familiar street, Jiang Chen had a heartfelt smile on his face.
"Yeah." With a slight smile, Ayesha glanced at the GS, shifted into gear and accelerated the car.
The black Santana following behind. He also picked up the speed and hung slowly behind Jiang Chen's Maybach S600.
Sitting in the driver's seat was a young man who looked energetic but also impetuous. He must have just joined the job. The man named Lao Dao was sitting in the passenger seat with his eyes half closed, as if he was dozing off. But anyone who knew him knew that it would be a mistake to think that he was asleep.
"Business people are really rich." Miao Jun held on to the steering wheel. Staring at the Maybach in front of him, he spoke with envy.
Live in a mansion and drive a luxury car.
But envy is envy. With his meager salary, there is no hope of buying such a luxury car.
Raising his eyelids and glancing at his partner, Lao Dao continued to close his eyes, but his voice was still somewhat recited.
"Exercise more when you are young. When the time comes, people will naturally ask you whether to retire or get promoted. If you choose to retire, take off your military uniform and work as a bodyguard for a rich man. You will probably earn enough money to buy it. One car.”
Anyone who can afford to hire these former agents as bodyguards will not be stingy with the small change. After all, the loyalty of the bodyguards is related to their own wealth and life. He went to work at the General Staff with him, and finally chose his retired comrade. Not to mention luxury cars, he had saved enough money for luxury houses. In addition to his obvious injuries and hidden injuries, those few shining military ranks could bring him some comfort.
But he has no regrets. Because he was a soldier, he chose to embark on this path from the moment he joined the army.
Miao Jun glanced at Lao Dao in surprise, and Miao Jun smiled sheepishly.
"Let's talk about it. Retirement is too far for me."
Hearing this, Lao Dao grinned, the grooves on his cheeks squeezed together.
Although his partner named Miao Jun said nothing, he knew that this young man would eventually choose to retire. After all, the times we were born in were different. There is nothing wrong with thinking more about personal matters. There are not many people who are as foolish as him and willing to dedicate themselves to a great cause.
"It's getting late, think about it early. Once this task is completed, it's almost time to upload your file. If you behave well, someone will ask you soon."
"Hey, what do the Swordsmen think of my strength?" Miao Jun smiled. He said with a hint of pride.
His face was filled with the arrogance unique to young people. After all, he is a top student who graduated from the military academy. Whether it is electronic warfare, fighting or marksmanship, he has received A+ evaluations. He does have the pretentious capital.
However, Lao Dao just smiled and said casually.
"Being a bodyguard for a small boss may be enough, but being a bodyguard for someone who is afraid of death is a bit green."
Not hearing the expected compliment, Miao Jun was stunned and looked slightly embarrassed.
"People who are afraid of death?"
Without responding to Miao Jun's question, Lao Dao closed his eyelids and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
Glancing at the old man, Miao Jun had a slightly dissatisfied look on his face.
You want me to be the successor of the new era. What capital do you, an old man who has never studied in college, have with me
Under such complicated emotions, he said with some sarcasm in a somewhat uneasy tone.
"This mission is Level B, is it okay if you don't take it seriously?"
Raising his eyelids, Lao Dao glanced at Miao Jun playfully, leaving a meaningful word before closing his eyes again.
"The guy in the car in front of you happens to be a man who is afraid of death."
Miao Jun was stunned.
This means that he has a powerful bodyguard by his side
But besides the foreign girl driving the car, who else was in the car
Is it hidden in the trunk
Taking a peek at the confused expression on Miao Jun's face, Lao Dao secretly shook his head.
Although this newcomer has good abilities, his insight is too weak. However, in the espionage business, it doesn't matter if one's ability or weakness is weak, but if one's insight is weak, that is the most fatal weakness.
In the car in front, not only was the protected VI Lao Dao unable to tell how strong he was, but even the cold-looking foreign girl in charge of driving the car, Lao Dao vaguely sensed that she must be quite strong.
Although this mission is Level B, it is not difficult at all.
... ...
Jiang Chen was not interested at all in what the two people behind were thinking. Just as Lao Dao suggested, he and Ayesha treated the two of them as if they didn't exist.
After about another half-hour's drive, the car drove into a slightly old community.
Parking the car in the white-lined parking space, holding Ayesha's hand, Jiang Chen stepped onto the familiar cement steps.
Climbing up to the fourth floor, he couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face when he looked at the slightly old door.
In the past three months, he has successively transferred more than one million yuan to his family, but now it seems that his parents have never touched this money at all.
Taking a slow, deep breath, Jiang Chen raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.
Ayesha, who was standing next to him, had a rare look of panic on her face. Although this panic was carefully hidden behind the cold mask, the moment he met Jiang Chen's eyes, the gentleness of the melting ice and snow still revealed his confusion about "meeting the parents".
Gently squeezing Aisha's hand, Jiang Chen gave her a comforting smile.
"Don't be nervous, my parents are very easy-going people."
Although he said this, he himself became inexplicably nervous.
I told my mother half a month ago that I didn’t have a girlfriend, but now I have brought a foreign girl home. I don’t know if my parents will be happy or...
The footsteps behind the door gradually came closer.
With that soft "squeak" sound, the door opened.
Seeing the familiar face that appeared behind the door, Jiang Chen felt his eyes suddenly become hot.
"mom!"(.)
