When the minister blushed and asked her for help, Lin Chuchu said nothing and continued translating.

This made Minister Bu feel increasingly embarrassed, and he wondered how he could make it up to Lin Chuchu.

Just as he was racking his brains and realized he had nothing to offer,

Lin Chuchu was also writing and writing nonstop.

Having written it once before, I was much more familiar with it and could write it much faster. The space corrected errors as I wrote, making it even faster.

Finally, after rewriting the translation and carefully sorting it out, Lin Chuchu sent the manuscript back.

When she left, the minister gave Lin Chuchu two cans of malted milk powder, as well as some cloth coupons and grain coupons.

Lin Chuchu couldn't refuse, so she accepted it.

As they drove toward the next academy of sciences, Lin Chuchu was in a good mood. She had cut off Xu's father's chance to climb the social ladder, and she wanted to see how Xu Jia would continue to be arrogant.

On the other side, Mu Chen finally woke up after being unconscious for several days. He was seriously injured while carrying out the mission given to him by his boss.

The bullet hit just one centimeter from the heart.

If it weren't for the boss's absolute order to save him, he would definitely be dead.

Mu Chen stared blankly at the ceiling. He had a dream. He dreamed of his family, of Chu Chu and the child, of his parents and grandparents.

His family was disappointed by his treasonous act, and his grandfather fell seriously ill.

From the moment Mu Chen opened his eyes, someone reported it to the boss.

The eldest brother saw Mu Chen staring blankly into space, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

She quickly stepped forward and said with concern, "Hey, Mu Chen, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I would definitely be injured. Thank you for saving me."

Mu Chen glanced at him coldly, "We're even now. You saved me once and took me abroad, and I saved you too. We're even now."

He struggled to sit up, and blood gushed from his chest again because of his sudden movement.

His face showed no change whatsoever, as if he felt no pain.

The leader shoved the man back down, saying, "Where can you go? There are arrest warrants for you all over the country. China won't erase the fact that you killed someone just because you did good deeds in the past."

A flicker of pain flashed in Mu Chen's eyes, but he gritted his teeth and said with a determined expression.

“I didn’t kill him intentionally. At worst, I’ll go back to China and turn myself in. I’ll pay with my life. I can’t let my family bear the name of being the family of a traitor.”

His tone was calm and composed, showing no fear of death.

It was this candor that earned him the boss's appreciation.

If this person is loyal to me, he will definitely not betray me.

No matter the cost, people must be kept here.

"Don't forget, you've killed more than one person. Now you're a murderer, and there's no turning back."

"And your family members hate you to death now, they wish they could sever all ties with you."

"Even if you go back now and get shot, your family will live in misery for the rest of their lives. And aren't you afraid that your family will face retaliation from those people?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Chen quickly lunged forward and grabbed his neck.

"You dare touch my family!"

A murderous intent flashed in Mu Chen's eyes, growing stronger and stronger, and he tightened his grip slightly.

The others in the room were startled and immediately pulled out their guns, pointing them at Mu Chen's head.

"Mu Chen, release the boss, or I'll shoot."

"Let go!"

Everyone was extremely nervous. Mu Chen was incredibly skilled, comparable to the top soldiers in China, and he showed no mercy when he started fighting.

They believed that if they angered Mu Chen, Mu Chen could really kill their boss.

The leader's neck was being held, but he had a smile on his face. "I won't lay a hand on your...family...cough cough. As long as you come with me, I guarantee those people won't dare to lay a hand on your relatives."

These words were both a guarantee and a threat, reminding Mu Chen not to betray him. If he did, Mu Chen's family could be found and killed.

Mu Chen remained silent for a while before slowly letting go. "You'd better keep your word. I'll only protect you; I won't do anything else."

Mu Chen glanced at his boss, a hint of doubt in his eyes, "I used to be a soldier, a college student at the Public Security University, and a police officer. Aren't you afraid I'm an undercover agent?"

"Haha, so what if you're an undercover agent? The moment you kill someone, you can never go back, and unless you want your family to die."

Mu Chen closed his eyes and lay down on the bed. "Alright, I understand. I'll protect you once I've recovered from my injuries."

A smug glint flashed in the eldest brother's eyes; he knew that for someone like this, family was his Achilles' heel.

"Don't worry, in a few years, when things aren't so strict in China, I can send you back to see your family."

Mu Chen didn't say anything, he just waved his hand casually.

After everyone left, Mu Chen slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with longing.

sorry!

The three words circled in his mouth, but he ultimately didn't dare to utter them.

After a flurry of activity, Lin Chuchu finally had time to rest.

Unbeknownst to her, a heavy rain began to fall outside, reminding her of a rainstorm a few years ago when she encountered a landslide on her way to the Academy of Sciences in the mountains.

At that moment, when I opened my eyes, I saw Mu Chen.

I wonder how Mu Chen is doing, whether he's injured, and if he's eating well.

Lin Chuchu clutched her chest, feeling a dull ache there for some reason.

"Comrade Lin, is it a bit stuffy inside the car? Should I open the window a crack?"

The guard assumed she was feeling carsick, so he asked her a question.

Lin Chuchu nodded, and the car window was slowly opened, making the sound of rain louder.
