Chapter 138 Temporary Mission

Hearing his father's shocked question.

Lu Jinye paused slightly, his gaze falling on the girl leaning against the railing by the river, her hair blowing in the wind, and her delicate face as she looked up, enjoying the summer breeze.

His gaze sharpened, and his voice grew even more resolute: "Her identity is the same as yours."

"!?What!?"

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Lu's voice was noticeably louder, even a little excited!

"Lu Jinye! Good lad! You've finally come to your senses? You're willing to marry a soldier? I always said that with your parents both in the military, marrying a soldier is the right choice for you..."

"Soldiers? No way! We have so many missions every day, we can't even come home all year round, and you still want your son to find a soldier?" The voice of Lu Jinye's mother came from the other end of the phone!

Lu Jinye paused for a moment, then hesitated slightly. "Father, is Mother with you now?"

"Hmm... We just happened to run into the joint military exercises today, and I was caught off guard by your mom!"

"Pah! Who can catch you? Chun Chun just wants to stay because the food in our Air Force squadron is so good!" You could already imagine that Lu's mother was rolling her eyes wildly.

The two of them went back and forth, neither willing to give in.

Suddenly, the soldier's suppressed laughter came through the phone again: "Captain Lu! The commander is calling! He says you deliberately defected to the enemy just to see your wife, and he's cursing you on the phone right now!"

"My wife and I haven't seen each other for almost a year, let him curse us!" Mr. Lu said indifferently, then turned to Lu Jinye and said, "Lu Jinye, we're not talking to you anymore, your mother and I are waiting for your good news!"

"..."

The phone was noisy.

Helpless, Lu Jinye had no choice but to hang up the phone.

I turned and looked out the window again at Wen Ni standing there.

He had also thought about what kind of partner he would find in the future.

I've considered many possibilities.

But he never imagined it would be the profession he both hated and loved the most...

Unfortunately, some people are a bit dim-witted and seem to have no interest in him.

"Have you finished the call?"

Wen Ni turned around and asked.

They met Lu Jinye's deep yet secretly burning gaze!

"Okay, get in the car."

"good."

Suppressing her doubts, Wen Ni opened the door and got into the passenger seat.

But as soon as she sat down, Lu Jinye's large, well-defined hand suddenly reached out and naturally and skillfully rolled up her shirt sleeve...

She paused, her instinctive attempt to dodge halting slightly.

My gaze fell on the milky white ointment in his right hand.

She couldn't help but lower her eyes, watching him slowly and methodically apply the medicine to her!

The same night, the same solitude.

This instantly reminded Wen Ni of that night on set, when he had also applied medicine to her so meticulously.

Everyone says he is chaste, aloof, and doesn't get close to women.

But in her eyes, he was completely different from how the public saw him!

Cold on the outside but warm on the inside, meticulous and responsive to everything, a very reliable...partner!

Lost in thought, she didn't realize that she was so brazenly staring at his handsome profile.

Until he suddenly looked up...

It's so close.

Her slightly dazed eyes suddenly met his deep gaze, their warm breaths mingling, and the music playing in the car was still that song, [Take Me Hand]...

His Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

Just like that night when he took her home, in the dimly lit corridor, he hesitated to speak.

Heartbeat.

The rhythm is off again!

"Ding ding ding..."

The urgent ringing of her phone finally gave Wen Ni a suitable excuse to make a clean getaway!

Pulling her wrist away from his gentle grip, she took out her spare phone from her pocket, looked at the caller ID, and then glanced at Lu Jinye, who had straightened up and was holding the steering wheel, deep in thought.

She took a deep breath, turned her face to look at the reflection of her inexplicably red ears in the car window!

I put the phone to my ear and answered the call.

When she spoke again, Wen Ni's turbulent emotions had returned to calm and stillness. "Hello? Captain Lu."

Upon hearing this address, Lu Jinye's brow twitched, and he frowned almost imperceptibly.

"An hour ago, a male rioter appeared on the pedestrian street in the city center, wielding a gun and a knife and injuring more than 30 passersby. Five people died, more than ten were seriously injured, and more than ten others sustained minor injuries. He hijacked a car and is now hiding with the hostages at a construction site in the suburbs!"

Captain Lu briefly explained the background of the incident.

"The case is serious, and the city has requested support from our garrison. Troops have already been dispatched. I happened to see your location was in that area, so I'm handing over the on-site command to you. See how to cooperate with them and make sure to capture the criminals! If necessary, you can kill them!"

"Understood, I'll be right there!" Wen Ni said seriously as she hung up the phone.

Before she could speak, Lu Jinye had already started the car. "A mission? Where to? I'll go with you."

"A construction site two kilometers away."

"good."

A perfectly coordinated question and answer session.

The black sedan was like lightning in the night, moving at an incredible speed, cutting through the darkness!

This is outside the construction site of Lingyu Real Estate Development Group.

Police cars and SWAT vehicles with sirens blaring and lights flashing surrounded the area!

The severity of this incident has alarmed high-level officials.

All the bureau chiefs rushed to the scene and stayed there!

"How is the situation now?"

"Reporting to Director Zhang! The identity of the thug has been confirmed. His name is Hu Wei, he is forty years old, an unemployed gambler, his parents died early, and he has a son, but three years ago, his wife divorced him and took the child with her!"

"He owed too much money this time, he simply couldn't pay it back, so he decided to take revenge on society in a suicidal way!"

"What a fucking bastard!" Police Chief Zhang, the highest-ranking officer in charge, cursed, hands on his hips. "These kinds of desperate criminals are the hardest to deal with!"

"It's almost midnight now, and it's completely dark. The construction site hasn't been electrified yet, and the internal structure is quite complicated. We contacted the owner of the developer, and their people are on their way here! However, the blueprints were sent over in advance, and our people and the special police squadron have already gone in to investigate!"

"Tell the comrades to be extremely cautious when they take action!" Director Zhang said with a tense face, looking at the dark construction site building with worry in his eyes.

"Yes, I'll tell you right away..."

Before his subordinates could even pick up their walkie-talkies, a loud bang came from inside the construction site building!

The ground shook three times!

Flames shot out from the third floor of the building!

"What's going on?! What's the situation? How are you? Are any of you injured?!" the senior officer immediately shouted into the walkie-talkie!

The walkie-talkie was noisy, and it took a while before the team members who had gone in to investigate replied, "The rioters have gunpowder! Several team members were slightly injured in the explosion!"

"Get out! Get the wounded out of here immediately!" Director Zhang roared, his blood boiling.

Police officers at the scene immediately scrambled to their feet.

Soon after, the injured were carried out!

"What kind of gunpowder did the assailant use? Did you see it clearly?"

A pleasant female voice, which seemed out of place in this setting, suddenly rang out.
