Chapter 274 Departure from Yuecheng
Although Xiao He was unreliable and playful, he still showed some restraint and stopped after a brief display, preventing Li Mi from jumping out of the office and "making a fool of himself."
Li Mi patted his heart with lingering fear. He wasn't angry, after all, the only outsiders in this office besides him were his superiors. Luckily, this superhuman tested his abilities on him. Could he possibly test them on his superiors?
Having witnessed Xiao He's abilities, he curiously turned his gaze to Jiang Ruzhen.
Jiang Ruzhen shrugged, looked around, and saw several chairs beside her. She reached out and touched one, and the chair disappeared.
With another wave of her hand, the chair instantly reappeared in its original place.
This simple move left Secretary Li speechless, his eyes wide with astonishment.
The leader, being more knowledgeable and experienced, raised his hand and clapped, "Not bad, not bad, the abilities of you two youngsters perfectly fill the gaps in the Ninth Bureau."
From now on, our Special Operations Bureau Ninth Division will be even more formidable, invincible!
Jin Sheng quickly replied modestly, "You flatter me, sir."
Just then, someone knocked on the door. "Boss, Secretary Qi has something important to discuss with you."
“Okay, tell him to wait a moment.” He turned around, picked up a file folder, and handed it to Jin Sheng. “This contains the contact person and specific details of the mission. Take it back and study it carefully.”
"Yes, sir, then we'll head back now."
The leader waved his hand, and Jin Sheng led Xiao He and Jiang Ruzhen out, got into the car at the door, and drove away.
The two female guards frowned and stared at the car with resentment. Li Mi happened to see this when he came out and kindly came over to remind them.
"You two newcomers, I advise you not to mess with the people from Special Operations Bureau Nine, or you won't even know how you died."
“Secretary Li, we are the elite selected from the best in the army. Being able to serve as guards here naturally represents our highest combat strength.”
"We're not afraid of any so-called Special Operations Bureau Ninth Division. If you don't believe me, let's have a match someday. I guarantee I'll take them down in seconds."
Ignorance is bliss!
Li Mi shook his head helplessly at the two fearless young girls and gave instructions to the captain of the guard team beside him.
"When you have time, you should also give your team members a lesson and teach them the principle that there are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people."
"Yes, Secretary Li," the captain replied respectfully.
Regardless of how he instructed the two female team members afterward, let's talk about Jiang Ruzhen first. They returned together to the hot spring resort of the Ninth Special Operations Bureau.
Let's study the details of this operation together.
The archives clearly state that the overseas Chinese who wanted to return the national treasure was named Xiao Ze. His ancestors were wealthy merchants. At that time, the country was at war, and his grandfather took the whole family to the United States for refuge.
Seeing the country's growing prosperity, I've developed a desire to return to my roots. Besides donating national treasures and cultural relics to the country, I also want to go back and contribute to the development of my hometown.
The country needs overseas Chinese like this now and cherishes their sentiments, so it attaches great importance to this operation.
Their first task was to join an economic delegation to attend an exchange meeting in the United States, and then make private contact with Xiao Ze. Whether they could bring the items back depended entirely on the abilities of the Ninth Bureau members.
"That's easy. Junior Sister, just put everything in your spatial storage, and then we can take a plane back."
Xiao He was somewhat dismissive, "This isn't really that difficult, is it?"
Jin Sheng snorted, "Do you think those foreign intelligence agencies are pushovers? Our compatriots, especially those overseas Chinese with some influence, are all being monitored right under their noses."
"The moment we made contact with Xiao Ze, you came into their sights. How easy is it to escape unscathed?"
"Then what do you suggest we do?" Xiao He was a little dumbfounded. He thought that with his junior sister taking charge, this mission would be very simple.
"However, the leadership has left us a way out. If all else fails, we can contact Lu Jiazhu in Hong Kong to help us evacuate from there."
"The Lu family of Hong Kong Island?" Jiang Ruzhen asked in surprise.
“Yes, the Lu family of Hong Kong Island. The Lu family you’re thinking of.” Jin Sheng nodded to her.
"But isn't their patriarch, Lu Chuyao, in the capital? He's my neighbor."
When Jiang Ruzhen asked, Jin Sheng shook his head. "The instructions from above are that as long as we make it to Hong Kong Island alive, someone will meet us."
After discussing the matter, the group went back to their rooms to prepare.
Actually, Jiang Ruzhen didn't need to prepare anything; the villa had all the necessities she needed.
She longed to go back and see her daughter one last time, to say goodbye, but she also knew that once the mission began, it would be impossible for her to leave the Ninth Bureau.
After a sleepless night, the car was already waiting outside the door after breakfast the next day.
The three of them got into a car and went to the airport to meet up with the economic delegation.
The delegation was headed by Director Liu from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and most of the members were heads of various state-owned enterprises, mostly middle-aged.
They didn't know why three young people had been temporarily brought in; all they were told were that they were private entrepreneurs, and nothing else.
Director Liu warmly greeted Jin Sheng and the others, shook hands, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, boarded the plane.
He was only instructed by his superiors to give these people some extra care, and he had a vague guess in his mind, but he didn't know exactly what these three people were going to do.
They greeted each other with feigned enthusiasm, and after boarding, they each returned to their seats.
Jiang Ruzhen was no stranger to airplanes, having ridden them many times in her later years. However, Jin Sheng and Xiao He were both very curious about airplane facilities, as it was their first time traveling abroad.
As the gliding began, the two felt as if their bodies were not their own, and they were suddenly lifted into the sky.
Jin Sheng could bear the pressure on his eardrums, but Xiao He couldn't stop jumping up and down and complaining.
"Eighth Senior Brother, try eating something, chew it a few times, it might make your ear feel better. Or opening your mouth wide might also help," Jiang Ruzhen kindly suggested.
Xiao He quickly did as instructed, and his ears felt better. He stuffed the small bread that the flight attendant had just given him into his mouth and said excitedly.
"I thought the food the flight attendants served was just to stave off hunger, I didn't know it had this effect. Junior sister, how do you know everything? You're amazing."
Jin Sheng tried to open his mouth wide to relieve the pressure on his eardrums, and at the same time turned his head to look at Jiang Ruzhen.
Looking at the two of them, Jiang Ruzhen couldn't help but find it amusing that their appearance didn't resemble that of reclusive masters at all, but rather had a kind of naive foolishness.
“I’ve flown before, so I have a little experience.”
The two, without suspecting anything, quickly went to fight their eardrums.
Once the plane was in stable flight, the two of them were busy looking at the scenery outside the window, while Jiang Ruzhen tilted her head and fell asleep early.
With a flight distance of over ten hours, what's the point of not sleeping?
Despite the turbulence during the flight, Jiang Ruzhen slept soundly. When she woke up, the plane had already landed in Yokohama.
