“It has to be you who goes. We anti-drug police have already lost many outstanding talents, and it pains me to see them go.”
"Even if we send batch after batch of excellent anti-drug police officers over there, they can't outsmart those old foxes. Their identities will be exposed in no time, and all that's left is death."
"After discussing it, we decided to send a comrade with rich combat experience to deal with them. After much consideration, we decided to send you, a veteran comrade with rich combat experience."
Gu Sinian didn't believe him at all. Beijing was full of talented people; he didn't believe they couldn't find a second person to replace him.
Why is it that I can't live without him?
"But my wife is about to give birth, and I need to be by her side. Who will take care of her?"
"Don't worry about this, Comrade Gu. I will discuss this with Chief Qin so that you can carry out your mission without any worries."
Gu Sinian was about to say something when an old anti-drug police officer spoke up, "This appointment of you is what we all hoped for. We've really lost a lot of outstanding anti-drug police officers, and we can't afford to lose any more."
"The old commander also agreed to let us transfer people from the military headquarters, whoever it is."
"So you chose me."
The two senior leaders looked at each other and then nodded.
"That's right. You meet the requirements perfectly. As far as we know, you accomplished those impossible tasks brilliantly, which made you the youngest regimental commander in Beijing. If it weren't for that period of time spent in the countryside, you might have climbed to an even higher position by now."
Gu Sinian had no such thoughts. He was quite grateful that his trip to the countryside allowed him to marry the person he had always wanted to marry.
Otherwise, he would continue to misunderstand that his young wife wanted to marry the landlord's son.
Fortunately, everything was in time, allowing his dream to come true.
"Old commander, you flatter me. I'm not as amazing as you say. Back then, I was young and unwilling to admit defeat, so I just kept charging forward."
"You're still young, only twenty-six."
Gu Sinian added, "She's already twenty-seven."
"It's alright, she's still very young. I know what's on your mind, Comrade Gu. We'll arrange for someone to take care of your wife and child so she can have a safe delivery. You can then focus on your mission."
It seemed he had no choice but to accept. He was very curious about what kind of task it was that was indispensable to him and no one else could do it.
"Can I ask what kind of mission it is? Why did they have to pick me?"
The old leader didn't intend to hide anything, "It's a drug bust case in the West Market. You should have heard something about the people involved."
Who is it?
"The Xiao family."
"Yes. It's the Xiao family. Although we haven't found out who the first two heads of the family were, we've already figured out their third-generation successor."
"Xiao Haoyu?"
The old leader was startled. "You've heard of him?"
“I’ve heard about it. My wife was kidnapped a few days ago by this Xiao Haoyu. He must have found out my identity long ago, otherwise he wouldn’t have left my wife at the entrance of the military compound.”
The old leader frowned. "Is that so? I've never heard anyone mention it before."
“It’s normal that we haven’t heard of it. It was a subordinate’s private matter. We know it was Xiao Haoyu who did it, and we’ve already contacted the police to help track him down, but we haven’t heard anything yet.”
"If the other side has already found out my wife's identity, then my identity will also be exposed. Is it really appropriate for you to choose me as an undercover agent?"
The old leader frowned; this task was absolutely his, and no one else could possibly complete it.
"That's easy. We'll just erase your information, and no one will be able to find it."
"But before..."
"No one should be able to find it. After all, you are a brigade commander. Our military region's records are not easy to access. It's normal that they would find your wife. She's just an ordinary person."
Is that so?
Is this old man trying to scam him?
"So... Chief Qin has agreed?"
When Gu Sinian looked over, Qin Fang felt a sense of guilt.
He had no choice but to agree.
A higher-ranking official can crush you.
It's already a big favor that the higher-ups sent someone to inform him.
What reason could he possibly have not to agree?
"I agreed. My superiors are assigning someone... what reason could I possibly have to refuse?"
Now that things have come to this point, he has nothing more to say.
When are we leaving?
"The sooner the better. The old leader means you have to leave today. You have an hour to go home and report to your wife and children. You will go with the old leader later, and he will arrange your next steps."
Gu Sinian understood. It turned out that everything had been arranged in advance, and he was just being informed. There was no reason for him to refuse.
"Okay. I'll go back and pack right away."
At this point, the old leader spoke up to stop them, saying, "Don't pack anything, so as not to attract attention. It's best not to bring anything at all. We will take care of everything for you."
Gu Sinian nodded, a bad feeling creeping into his heart. It seemed things were more complicated than he had anticipated.
"I understand. I'll go back and tell my wife and kids."
The old leader waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, and have a good talk with your wife. This task is a bit difficult, and it will take at least a year to come to an end."
"knew."
Qin Fang watched Gu Sinian leave the meeting room listlessly, and the words he was about to say were swallowed back down.
The old leader still loves to talk nonsense. This undercover mission is no simple matter, otherwise, ten excellent drug enforcement undercover agents would have been lost before the mission was even completed.
The "one year" figure is just a deceptive tactic. This case has been piling up with the old leader for three years. How could it possibly be resolved in just one year? It might be a long period of dormancy.
Three years after three years.
He had said his refusal countless times when Gu Sinian entered the meeting room, but the old leader still resolutely appointed Gu Sinian, and he had no right to refuse.
How could he refuse? He's asking for outstanding talent; how could he possibly refuse?
Headache, headache! Gu Sinian took good care of my daughter during her first pregnancy, and she didn't have any postpartum complications. Who will take care of her this second time?
He... can't take care of her. Even when his wife gave birth to Chengyi, it was his mother who took care of her. This time, he can only ask his mother for help again.
Hopefully, the son-in-law will return unharmed this time, otherwise his daughter will be left to live a life of widowhood.
But he was still very worried. Outstanding anti-drug heroes... none of the ten survived. Would his son-in-law be an exception?
Why isn't he that confident?
Drug dealers are all bad people... None of the ten outstanding talents returned with their bodies intact.
That's why the old leader thought of transferring people from the military. He suspected there were spies in the anti-drug squad, otherwise every time someone was sent there, they would die a violent death within three months.
The old leader was at his wit's end. His superiors wanted him to solve the case as soon as possible, so he turned his attention to the military and set his sights on Gu Sinian, who had never lost a case.
