Chapter 165 Two Years
Early morning.
The shrill sound of sirens suddenly rang out on the quiet streets of Berkeley.
Not long after, the sound of chaotic footsteps was heard on the university campus, as if a lot of people were rushing in at once.
Chen Yin frowned slightly, got up in the dark, turned on the wall lamp, and went to the children's room to take a look.
The three children were sleeping soundly, so she pulled the quilt and tucked in the corners.
Back in her room, Chen Yin pressed her pounding heart, full of worry.
She wasn't the only one woken by the noise outside.
Not long after, Chen Yin heard someone shouting and asking something.
The answer was unclear, but it was obvious that something important had happened.
Chen Yin thought of what her husband had told her before he left the house, and resisted the urge to open the curtains and look outside. She just sat silently on the bed with her legs crossed.
After an unknown amount of time, the noise outside was approaching their area.
Chen Yin even heard the patrolling security guard talking loudly with someone.
“Buckle, buckle, buckle!”
There was a knock on the apartment door.
Chen Yin took a deep breath, turned on the light in the room, put on a robe over her pajamas, and walked to the door in her slippers. She asked in a dissatisfied tone, "Who's knocking? Don't you want to see what time it is?"
"Excuse me, ma'am. We're from the apartment security department. A serious criminal case has occurred. Please cooperate with the police investigation."
Chen Yin turned on the light outside the door and could see the situation outside through the glass:
Two security guards from the security department, followed by two armed policemen, were standing outside the door, looking around their small house impatiently.
Chen Yin paused and said, "The children are sleeping, please keep your voice down."
"Yes ma'am, could you please open the door?"
Chen Yin was extremely nervous, but she opened the outer door with a look of dissatisfaction on her face. "Please show me your ID, Sir."
Perhaps because they were on campus and accompanied by school security, the police cooperated by showing their police officer ID, and then asked at the door how many people lived there and what their relationship was.
Chen Yin answered them one by one.
One of the officers pointedly asked, "Where is your husband? Why did you open the door? Isn't he worried about you?"
Chen Yinka paused and said helplessly, "He's been sitting on the toilet for maybe ten minutes, maybe half an hour, or an hour."
She also shrugged, "Who knows how long this time will take."
Police and Security: . . . . .
Well, nine out of ten men have hemorrhoids, and they all understand the feeling of not being able to squat.
"Then... excuse me, we can wait a moment."
Chen Yin...

Just as Chen Yin was racking her brains to think of how to delay, a voice came from behind her: "What's wrong? Who's here?"
Chen Yin resisted the urge to turn around immediately, but instead gestured to the police officer, "Here, my husband. It's still early for him to come out today."
The policeman looked at Yan Jiuru for a few times, asked a few routine questions, walked around the house, and then asked Yan Jiuru: "Do you have a gun?"
Yan Jiuru nodded, "My wife and I both have gun licenses, Sir."
After checking their gun licenses, the models of their guns, and their ammunition, the police said, "A serious criminal case occurred last night. Do not take anyone in for the time being. If any strangers are staying with you, be sure to notify security."
"OK, can I ask what criminal case it is?" Yan Jiuru asked with some curiosity.
The police shook his head and went to the next house.
***
Yan Jiuru watched the policemen walk away and grumbled, "This is the bad thing about this house. There's no barrier at all. It's too easy to break in."
A house without a wall lacks a sense of security.
Chen Yin followed him, closed the door, and went into the inner room, not daring to say anything the whole way.
As a result, the two turned around and saw three children standing barefoot at the door of the room, who knew how much they had heard!
Were you still asleep when the police came just now?
"Why are you guys up?" Chen Yin hurriedly touched everyone's hands, "Don't catch a cold, go to bed quickly."
Yan Jiuru stroked Zhuangzhuang's head and said with a smile: "It's okay, things like this will happen again when we live here in the future. It's nothing to be surprised about."
After comforting the children and waiting for them to fall asleep again, the two returned to their room.
Chen Yin didn't ask anything, but just hugged the man's strong body tightly in the quilt, letting the strong heartbeat soothe her nervousness.
Yan Jiuru chuckled and stroked her back again and again, finally whispering in her ear: "Go to sleep, it's all over."
In the past, he would have jumped up and used his passion to ease his wife's worries, but today he had gone to the netherworld, and the cold and gloomy aura on his body was too heavy, so it was really not suitable.
***
It was not until Yan Jiuru reported back to school that major media outlets such as the Washington Post reported a brief news item:
A few days ago, an important intelligence officer of Xuan State surrendered. Xuan State issued the highest level global hunting order, resulting in the intelligence officer being killed in extremely cruel means.
The police are investigating.
There are two accompanying pictures, one is a blurry photo of a corpse, and the other is a picture of a human head poking out of a cemetery.
The original intention was to show the murderer's cruel methods, but almost everyone was shocked by the line of blood on the photo wall.
"Traitors will be killed without mercy!"
Yan Jiuru took a few glances at it during breakfast and handed the newspaper to Chen Yin.
Chen Yin read it almost word by word, her heart suddenly skipping a beat. That day...
Zhuangzhuang and the other two didn't think too much about it and rushed to see it.
They can all read general English and can ask their parents if they don’t understand.
The children knew that the traitor was eliminated, but he was killed. They all lamented that they did not have the opportunity to take action, otherwise they would have wanted to kill the traitor as well.
Chen Yin glanced at Yan Jiuru helplessly: See, there is someone to succeed me.
Yan Jiuru laughed heartily, picked up the children, smacked each of them, and reminded them: "Don't miss out on getting up early to practice.
Otherwise, it will never be your turn to take action."
"good!"
The three little ones said they would never sleep in again.
They also want to be heroes who kill traitors.

Yan Jiuru studied mechanics in college, and this time he applied for a graduate program in mechanical engineering department focusing on mechanical system design.
Unlike most international students who had to pass the language barrier, he was able to keep up with the instructor's pace in the first class. No one could match him in both language and thinking ability, and he soon won the favor of several teachers.
Others work hard in class and even spend their time after class studying hard, but Yan Jiuru is very relaxed and even has time to visit agents everywhere.
On weekends, if Chen Yin did not have work arranged, Yan Jiuru would take his wife and children out for fun.
During the winter and summer vacations and Christmas, he specially invited Chen Yin's grandparents and parents to come and visit.
Because of his sensitive identity, his family members could not all come at once, so he simply divided the operation into several waves.
By the end of the winter vacation of the following year, he had basically arranged for everyone in the family to go out and broaden their horizons.
In Yan Jiuru's words, it would be more convenient to operate while they are in the United States. Otherwise, it would be okay for the brothers and sisters, but the elders might not have the chance to come out and see it in their lifetime.
***
Two years of studying abroad passed quickly.
While others studying abroad worked very hard, Yan Jiuru completed all the credits easily and declined his advisor's invitation to take his own doctoral exam.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to read, but he feels that it’s basically enough for now.
Reading more is not his direction.
He hugged his mentor, Liszt, and said in Spanish, "Don't worry, I will definitely study for your doctorate in the future. Right now, I have to take care of my family. Haha."
"Well, you have my gas tank, address, and phone number," Liszt patted his arm helplessly. "Remember to contact me if you have any questions."
Perhaps, teachers in this world prefer top students, especially those who are more knowledgeable about the ways of the world.

Before returning home, Yan Jiuru took the time to visit the two small islands he had bought.
The bright flags of Xuan Kingdom are flying at the highest points of Emerald Island and Flamingo Island, indicating the sovereign country of the two islands: Xuan Kingdom!
Based on local laws and some international default rules on maritime islands and reefs, Yan Jiuru, a native of Xuan Country, owns these two islands, so they belong to the territory of Xuan Country.
Specifically, the internal waters of the islands are under complete sovereignty, and ships from other countries have no right of passage;
Twelve nautical miles beyond the baseline is the area of complete sovereignty, and ships of other countries can pass through it innocently;
The exclusive economic zone 200 nautical miles outside the island's baseline is the area for resource exploration, development, and jurisdiction of the island. However, this depends on the island's own strength.
In other words, those who are capable can occupy the resources within these 200 nautical miles, and those who are not capable can just grab them and own them.
Moreover, pirates have been rampant and looting everywhere among the thousands of islands in this reef for many years.
In the past two years, Yan Jiuru has spent a lot of money to gather a group of armed personnel in this area and also purchased second-hand warships, second-hand fighter jets, explosion-proof and bullet-proof vehicles. With sufficient weapons and ammunition, he has his own armed force.
He personally led his team to fight dozens of times with other forces and pirates who were eyeing the two islands, causing these forces to suffer heavy losses. When they saw their patrols, they just regretted not running away fast enough.
In this way, they finally gained control of the 200 nautical miles around their two islands.
This time, Yan Jiuru came not only to inspect the island, but also to demonstrate sovereignty and explore the blue hole.

In the past two years, Emerald Island, a medium-sized island, has become a well-known tourist resort island in the local area after vigorous development.
Because it was his own investment, he did not need to split the profits with other development companies. Moreover, his armed patrol force was powerful, coupled with the protection of the formation, Emerald Island was the safest island in the area, without a doubt.
Tourism brings Yan Jiuru a net income of at least 50 million US dollars every year, and it seems to be increasing.
Especially when other islands are attacked by pirates from time to time, tourists will flock to the Emerald Island, and his income will increase accordingly.
Although it cannot be compared with the hundreds of millions of dollars earned annually by large islands, it is still acceptable.
After all, he had won the island at no cost.
***
He turned Crane Island into a place where armed forces were stationed.
In addition to second-hand warships and fighter jets stationed here, most of the armed training grounds are also here.
Moreover, Honghuo Island has its own oil resources. He has developed a part of them mainly for daily consumption on his two islands, and does not sell them to other countries.
This is mainly because Saudi Arabia and other oil exporting countries lifted their crude oil production restrictions in the past two years, causing international oil prices to plummet.
Crude oil prices have fallen to less than $10 a barrel. Even the small amount of oil under Flamingo Island is not enough to cover the development costs if it is pumped up.
So, except for your own use, just put it aside for now.
Yan Jiuru came to the "Blue Hole" this time to get something.
