Dawn of a New Era

the next morning.

After Chen Shouyi got up, he went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After washing, just as I was about to brush my teeth, there was a knock on the door.

Brother, are you ready? It's almost seven o'clock! Chen Xingyue urged.

What are you doing so early, I guess they haven't woken up yet? Chen Shouyi said, looking at the watch on the sink, it was not even half past six.

Why don't you care so much about your brother.

Aren't you still going to buy gifts? Chen Xingyue said.

Wait! Chen Shouyi said depressedly.

Then hurry up!

After he finished washing, he took out a set of clothes from the closet and while putting them on, he whispered to Shell Girl who was already alert and hiding in the air-conditioning quilt: You stay at home and continue to sleep, I'm going to meet the bad giant.

As soon as the words fell, a small head emerged from the quilt, and whispered with a serious face: Oh! You go, the little one is very good.

Stay at home, I'll be right back.

Then, he opened the locker, and there was a mountain of banknotes inside.

His current monthly martial artist allowance plus salary is 1.5 million, and this is only a small amount, the biggest part is the mission bonus.

As a martial artist, his bonus for each mission ranges from two million to five million.

Like last month, because he went to Ningzhou to perform high-risk missions, his income reached 6.5 million.

Today's society is very unstable, and money is stored in banks, which is not safe.

Therefore, every time he was paid, Chen Shouyi would go to the bank to get a pile of cash and put it at home. Now the money in the cabinet is already more than 10 million. If it wasn't for the bank's gold, which could no longer be bought or sold, he wanted to exchange it all for gold.

He took some money, put it in his wallet, and closed the cabinet.

...

There was a light rain in the early morning of last night, and there were still puddles on the road. The willow trees on both sides, the leaves that had been tumbling, suddenly became more green.

Chen Shouyi and his sister walked out after breakfast.

Chen Xingyue was wearing a white T-shirt on her upper body and dark blue sports shorts on her lower body, revealing a pair of slender and strong thighs. She flicked her ponytail when walking, looking full of vitality.

The two walked to a nearby fruit and vegetable supermarket and stopped.

With Chen Xingyue's disgusted expression on his face, Chen Shouyi bought a watermelon and held it in his hand.

Brother, did you just buy a watermelon?

Then what do you buy, grapes? Chen Shouyi asked doubtfully.

Did I understand what I mean? Chen Xingyue said frantically, Mom told you to buy some expensive presents, so you just buy some fruit?

This is a martial artist! When visiting such a big person, even if you don't give a big gift, at least you have to give some stylish gift!

Style? It's not stylish to give watermelons. Why do you look down on watermelons? Maybe Colonel Xiao likes to eat watermelons!

Chen Xingyue's stomach ached from his brother's elm bump, stomped his feet, and gave up on himself: It's not that I don't care about it, anyway, it's you who will be ashamed at that time.

What's the shame? You think too much! Chen Shouyi said, and then his heart moved, and he said tentatively, Why don't you go, I'll do it alone for things like embarrassment.

Going to Xiao Changming's house will probably expose his identity as a martial artist.

Then it will be embarrassing.

Humph!

Chen Xingyue let out a cold hum sound from his nose, turned his head, and ignored Chen Shouyi.

He was making fun of himself, so he had to go to the nearby police station.

He still doesn't know where Xiao Changming lives?

Although he knew that his family was also in the villa area, the area of ​​the villa area was not small. It was divided into four districts, east, west, north, south, with a park in the center and a large unfinished golf course, covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres.

The police station managed the local household registration. Chen Shouyi asked Chen Xingyue to wait outside. After revealing his identity, he quickly got Xiao Changming's address.

...

On the way, Chen Xingyue started chatting non-stop again.

Brother, what is Colonel Xiao's personality like?

Will it be serious? Chen Xingyue asked nervously.

It's okay! Chen Shouyi said casually.

What does it mean? Chen Xingyue was a little dissatisfied with Chen Shouyi's perfunctory attitude.

It's literally!

Has he any children, male or female?

I said whether you are annoying or not, you will know when the time comes! Chen Shouyi was so annoyed that he said impatiently.

Really, there's nothing to be nervous about.

Chen Xingyue didn't care about his brother's bad attitude at all: You just talk about it?

I have a daughter who is a little younger than you. Chen Shouyi said helplessly.

...

The two soon walked to see Xiao Changming's house.

The door was wide open, and there were quite a few people in the living room, most of whom were wearing military uniforms. Obviously, they were not the only ones who came to visit.

Chen Shouyi stepped in.

Behind Chen Xingyue also bit the bullet and followed closely with a nervous expression.

When many people saw Chen Shouyi, they subconsciously stood up, and the atmosphere became slightly quieter.

Xiao Changming greeted him, and said with a smile: Brother Chen, you're here, and what gifts are you bringing with you? You're too polite!

I bought it by the side of the road! Chen Shouyi said.

Chen Xingyue almost wanted to cover her face when she heard that.

Xiao Changming took the watermelon, then looked at Chen Xingyue, and asked, Who is this?

This is my sister, Chen Xingyue, I have to follow. Chen Shouyi introduced, but there was a strange feeling in his heart.

Although Xiao Changming on the opposite side was smiling, his expression was a bit stiff and gloomy, and he had a keen sense of smell and found that there was a stench that seemed to be exuding from the other party.

At this time, Xiao Changming's wife came over with two cups of tea, interrupting the strange feeling in his heart.

Mr. Chen, don't stand still, sit down, sit down quickly. And my little sister, don't be too polite, treat it like your own home!

Her face was a little haggard, and her smile was a little forced, as if she was deeply worried.

Logically speaking, Xiao Changming just came back from a narrow escape, so he shouldn't be in this state.

But this is someone else's housework, he didn't bother to explore, he took the teacup and said with a smile, Thank you sister-in-law.

Then he sat down on the sofa with Chen Xingyue.

Xiao Changming put the watermelon away, came back and said with a smile: I almost forgot, let me introduce you, this is Chen Shouyi, the general security adviser of the province, this is Huang Luoxi, the instructor of the special brigade, this is Wang Feng, the deputy captain, and this is the logistics manager of the military region. where the...

General Counsel, hello, hello!

Hello!

...

Several people stood up and said hello.

If it's just ordinary civilian warriors, even great warriors, those in the military wouldn't care too much, but warriors are already at another level.

Personal power has reached such a level that even the military, which is a violent machine, cannot be ignored.

Chen Shouyi stood up, said some polite words, and as soon as he sat down, Xiao Changming said with a smile: It just so happened, how many of us were talking about you just now?

Oh, what did you say? Chen Shouyi asked with a smile.

For the mission in Ningzhou, I really want to thank you this time. If you hadn't taken over the mission in the end, successfully found the church's lair, and completed the bombing, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to come back. Xiao Changming said with a smile.

It's not my fault! Chen Shouyi said modestly, and couldn't help asking curiously, What happened at that time? Why did it take so long?

It's just luck, now that I think about it, I've been through hell... Xiao Changming shook his head, and then talked about his experience of surviving a near-death.

Listening to his story, Chen Shouyi finally figured out that he was only seriously injured and escaped.

Later, he hid in the sewer to recuperate his wounds, and ate rats and sewage every day. He didn't even know that Ningzhou had been liberated. It wasn't until he recovered from his injuries that he came out quietly that he realized that the sky had changed.

Chen Xingyue on the side pricked up her ears, listening to the conversation between the two, but the more she listened, the more confused she became, and she always felt that something was wrong.

...

After sitting for ten minutes, Chen Shouyi offered to leave.

Xiao Changming held back a few words, and got up with other military personnel and sent them to the door.

Seeing Chen Shouyi's leaving figure, Xiao Changming's face became cloudy and uncertain, his nails quickly turned black, and when he turned around, he became smiling again: Let's continue talking, what did we say just now?

...

At this time, the sun had fully risen, and the light was dazzling.

The coolness of the morning was completely dispelled, with a hint of scorching heat.

Chen Xingyue kept silent all the way, maybe there were too many people before, or maybe she was too nervous, she didn't ask Xiao Changming for advice from the beginning to the end.

After walking in silence for a few minutes, she finally couldn't help it anymore. Now she was full of doubts: Brother, why did they call you the Chief Provincial Security Counselor?

I've always been the general security advisor of the province! Chen Shouyi said bravely.

Chen Xingyue looked suspicious. She didn't know much about this, but it seemed that her brother did have the position of general counsel.

Then what you said at the beginning, what happened to taking over the mission from Ningzhou? She asked.

It was just a battlefield reconnaissance mission. The other party was carelessly injured by a strong barbarian. I was lucky, and I was not in danger. I accidentally helped him a lot.

Then why is Colonel Xiao so enthusiastic about you? Chen Xingyue continued to ask,

Maybe you think I'm a genius, so I'll give it to you, not to mention that I indirectly saved his life. Why are you asking this?

Chen Xingyue thought about it too, she could understand her brother's statement, because she was like this, from childhood to adulthood, no matter how strict the teacher was, she was always kind and pleasant to her.

She immediately relaxed in her heart, and said with a happy smile: It scared me, I thought...

Why do you think I'm also a martial artist? Chen Shouyi shot her sideways and interrupted.

But he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally managed to trick his difficult sister again.

I thought you were a big idiot! Chen Xingyue giggled, and quickly dodged away.

Chen Shouyi felt disdainful, I want to hit you, can you avoid it?

It's just that now it's not the same as before, my mentality is old, and I don't want to do such childish things anymore.

Hmph, I'm really a martial artist!

I believe you ghost, when I become a great warrior, you may still have a chance.
