Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Even though Lu Xingzhi was drunk, his mind was still clear. He shook his head and denied it. Then, he urged Jiang Yao to rest early. "Tomorrow morning, Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother will drive you to Jin City. They can disguise themselves as your subordinates and accompany you and protect you for the next few days."

He had already made arrangements for Jiang Yao to visit all of the destinations she had intended to visit. It would undoubtedly assure Jiang Yao's and the others' safety.

Lu Xingzhi closed his eyes without giving Jiang Yao a chance to speak. Jiang Yao could not tell if Lu Xingzhi was asleep or pretending to be asleep from the sound of his breathing. In any case, he did not want her to continue asking about it.

Jiang Yao felt as if Lu Xingzhi was hiding something, and it was very likely something about her.

Since she could not ask him, she could only pretend that she did not feel anything.

The next day, Lu Xingzhi watched as Jiang Yao and the others got into the car with his fourth and fifth brothers and left the barracks before he went to his training. Jiang Yao had his fourth and fifth brothers, Big Ke, and Ah Lu, with her, so he was not worried that what happened the previous day would happen again.

"Sergeant, the chief is looking for you." After the morning training, Zhou Junmin approached Lu Xingzhi and said, "When I passed by the office just now, the chief asked me to come and look for you, Sergeant. It seems like he has a mission for you."

"A mission?" Lu Xingzhi was puzzled. He would transfer to the special forces after the new year, so he thought that the army would not give him any missions to carry out during that period.

"It seems to be a challenging mission." Zhou Junmin nodded. "I am also on the list of personnel to carry out the mission."

So, the two of them went to the chief's office.

Perhaps it was still Chinese New Year at the ordinary people's homes, but no one's daily routine had changed in the army. When a mission arose, no one could refuse it just because it was still Chinese New Year.

That was how soldiers were. They were continuously getting ready for their country.

"You're here?" The bureau chief waved at the two of them and said, "This is a somewhat tricky mission. Sit down. I'll tell you all about it. You will take this mission to your new position."

Lu Xingzhi nodded indifferently and sat down with Zhou Junmin to his left. Then, he waited for the bureau chief to continue.

"That is an undercover mission. The timing is a little long, but it's also a little tricky. You have to cooperate with the police and provide them with undercover information to help the police deal with gangs." The bureau chief gave a general introduction to the situation. "In recent years, there have been frequent cases of missing people in our country. In recent months, it has been widespread across the country. Even Major Zhu's family has become one of the victims. In the last few days before the New Year, many children have gone missing in the markets near their homes. Some even went missing in the villages. There are also many cases of missing women. After many investigations and informants' information, we finally learned that it was a criminal gang that specializes in human trafficking."

"The police need the support of our troops. We will select a few elite soldiers to go undercover in that team and cooperate with them from the inside to fight those criminals and rescue those poor women and children."
