"You little rascal..." The leader pointed at Qiao Gaoyang, a malicious smile on his face, "Qiao Gaoyang, what are you up to?"
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
The leader immediately laughed.
Qiao Gaoyang is so shameless that I don't even want to talk about it. This is the first time I've seen him show an expression that looks like he's embarrassed. It's really rare. It's no exaggeration to say that an iron tree has blossomed.
"Okay, sure!" the leader agreed. "It's rare for you to bring up this request again. If I don't agree, wouldn't it make me seem like a harsh leader?"
"Boss, you're truly my dear boss, thank you so much!" Qiao Gaoyang said repeatedly.
So when Qiao Gaoyang saw Leng Yingying waiting for him on his mission that afternoon, he felt incredibly happy.
"Let's go, get in the car." Qiao Gaoyang pretended to be serious, but was secretly pleased.
"I heard you recommended me for this mission, why?" Leng Yingying was very curious. When she first received the mission, she thought that protecting Qiao Gaoyang was just a coincidence. But when Tang Xiaoshuang told her that it was Qiao Gaoyang's own recommendation, she became confused.
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
He almost tripped over his own feet.
That big mouth of a leader, he really can't be trusted. He betrayed him right away. Unbelievable!
"For no reason, it's just..." Qiao Gaoyang felt extremely guilty.
This blockhead, hurry up and think of a decent reason, otherwise this is too embarrassing.
Leng Yingying seemed to be waiting for his answer.
"Exactly, I was thinking that this can be considered a mission experience, and no matter how big or small the mission is, it will add something to your resume, right... that makes sense, doesn't it?"
Qiao Gaoyang had never felt so guilty in his life.
He was completely bewitched; he actually asked his superior for help, asking him to appoint Leng Yingying to go on a mission with him.
“Hmm,” Leng Yingying actually believed it and nodded, thinking that what Qiao Gaoyang said made some sense. She slapped Qiao Gaoyang on the back and said cheerfully, “Thanks, brother! I didn’t expect you to remember me so much, and to help me out when something good happens. I’ll remember this favor!”
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
This affection?
What kind of situation?
Could it be a brotherly bond?
He didn't really want it that way.
"Since I've accepted this mission, don't worry, I'll definitely protect you well. You know my strength; I guarantee you'll go there safely and come back safely," Leng Yingying said, patting her chest.
Because the task was not complicated and took place in the same city, besides Qiao Gaoyang, who was the person in question, and Leng Yingying, who was protecting Qiao Gaoyang, there was only the driver in the car.
With few people, the atmosphere was naturally quite casual.
But beneath this casualness lay Leng Yingying's constant vigilance.
She has to protect Qiao Gaoyang, so there can't be any mistakes!
[If I don't complete this mission properly, the female lead will definitely have a problem with me. I absolutely cannot do anything that lowers her affection level!]
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
No, can't I just look at him?
"Is this mission to another unit?" Leng Yingying asked.
"Okay, go help them with their computers, they said there's a problem," Qiao Gaoyang said, enjoying Leng Yingying's "protection" while trying to think of a topic to talk about.
"Do you need someone to protect you when you go out?" Leng Yingying asked curiously.
She hadn't expected that even just going to another unit in the same city would require someone to specifically protect Qiao Gaoyang, which was enough to show how much importance the unit placed on its intelligence team members.
"No, going out normally is different from going on a mission," Qiao Gaoyang said.
No matter how much the military values him, they can't possibly infiltrate his daily life and protect Qiao Gaoyang in every way possible; he hasn't reached that position yet.
"Then what do you do when you go out? What if you run into bad people?" Leng Yingying wondered, as it wasn't entirely impossible.
"First of all, I'm not weak and helpless. Secondly, when I go out alone, I can disguise myself with a little effort. If I go out with my family, I don't need to do that at all, since my older brother is here too."
Qiao Gaoyang spoke as if it were perfectly natural, as if Qiao Shouyan were his personal bodyguard.
But that's the truth. With my older brother by my side, he'll definitely protect everyone in the family. There's absolutely nothing to worry about.
“Indeed, your older brother is quite capable.” Leng Yingying nodded, deeply agreeing.
[Boss Qiao's skills are indeed impressive, especially after practicing that secret manual, they're absolutely amazing, I'm so envious...]
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
What happened?
After getting on the bus, they first talked about Crescent Moon and then praised the older brother. Why didn't they want to mention anything about him?
He was right in front of her!
"What have you been up to lately?" Qiao Gaoyang tried to act naturally, attempting to find some topics to talk about, even if it was just to exchange a few more words.
However, Leng Yingying held one index finger up in front of her mouth.
"Shh-"
"Don't talk. I need to protect you. I have to keep an eye on our surroundings at all times," Leng Yingying said, still keeping a wary eye on her surroundings, ready to fight at any moment.
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
Okay, very good!
He did want Leng Yingying's protection, but not "this" kind of protection.
If he can't speak the whole way, won't he suffocate?
Leng Yingying took this task very seriously. Her principle was that she either wouldn't do it at all, or she would do it to the best of her ability.
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
Thank you so much!
After enduring the long wait until they got off the bus, they finally arrived at another military base in the capital. Qiao Gaoyang felt that his vision had broadened, the air had become fresher, and his limbs had relaxed!
The person sent by the neighboring unit to receive Qiao Gaoyang was a newly promoted deputy regimental commander.
"Hello, Comrade Qiao Gaoyang, I am Zhou Jinglan, who is in charge of receiving you this time. If you need anything, please feel free to let me know." The man immediately saluted.
He was wearing a hat, which covered part of his face, but the exposed parts still showed traces of past burns.
Qiao Gaoyang thought to himself, it seems that this deputy regimental commander also risked his life to achieve this.
However, is it really necessary to send the deputy head of the delegation when there is only one person to receive them?
Why do they value him so much?
[Aaaaaaah! It's him! It's Zhou Jinglan!]
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
Is it really necessary?
By the way, Zhou Jinglan, that name sounds familiar. Have you heard it somewhere before?
As a qualified member of the intelligence team, since Qiao Gaoyang had an impression, he would definitely be able to recall it. Just as he was racking his brains, Leng Yingying's thoughts had already revealed everything.
[I never expected that coming on a mission with Qiao Lao Er would lead to running into the officer who secretly loves Qiao Lao Si—who is also the fiancé that liar Leng Yinghong once deceived. Tsk tsk tsk, this capital city is both big and small, hahaha!]
