In her late pregnancy, Lin Xiaoxiao rarely went out. She would either invite Guan Yue and others over for a meal or do crafts at home with Wen Shiyu.
Wen Shiyu knows how to use a sewing machine, and in half a month she made several loose, comfortable, and well-fitting clothes for Lin Xiaoxiao.
Uncle and Grandpa Chu shared the same interests; the two old men would either drink tea, play chess, go fishing by the river, or pick mushrooms at the foot of the mountain.
Life is leisurely and comfortable, and a good mindset makes one look younger.
The busiest people in the family are Wen Mo and Qin Yushen. One goes out every day, eating with this person and that person, and no one knows what he is planning. The other is always in the army, either training or marching, and his clothes are never clean.
Time seemed to accelerate, and in the blink of an eye, it was a week before Lin Xiaoxiao's due date.
At this time, her belly was big, but not in a scary way.
During the later stages of her pregnancy, she controlled her diet to prevent the fetus from becoming too fat. Combined with exercise and yoga, her weight only increased by about 20 kilograms compared to before pregnancy. Her body was not bloated, her limbs were slender, and the fat all went to her belly.
Because there was always the possibility of premature birth, Wen Mo and Wen Shiyu rarely went out and spent most of their time at home, keeping a close eye on Lin Xiaoxiao's condition.
Qin Yushen was always on edge before going to the army every day.
Only Lin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, touching her belly and letting out a long sigh, "Finally, I'm about to give birth."
Since becoming pregnant with this little one, she hasn't dared to be too unrestrained in anything she wants to do.
Although there shouldn't be any problems with her health, anything can happen, especially in the later stages. She refused to leave the house, fearing she might encounter a madman.
Finally, finally we're going to be liberated!
"I'm about to give birth, so I don't need to pay too much attention to my diet," Lin Xiaoxiao waved her hand and said, "I want to eat hot pot."
A spicy hot pot makes everything taste delicious.
The aroma is intoxicating.
Everyone spoiled her, preparing whatever she wanted to eat, and she lived a carefree life for a while.
On this day, Guo Qingyun and Huang Jian arrived.
Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow in surprise when she saw the two walking together. "Guo Qingyun, didn't you go to Shanghai? When did you come back?"
Guo Qingyun chuckled and scratched his head. "We arrived in Beijing last night. This is the mission report, boss, here you go."
As he spoke, he handed a few sheets of paper to Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at it a few times, and after confirming that there was no problem, she signed her name on it.
"Okay, submit it for review."
"Thank you, boss."
After more than six months of adjustment, Guo Qingyun is now a full-fledged investigator for the National Security Bureau.
Of all the members of the Special Task Force, only Shi Xinglong almost caused trouble on his first solo mission, so Lin Xiaoxiao directly handed him over to Guan Shan for training.
You know what, that kid isn't very good at tracking, reconnaissance, or intelligence gathering, but he's got a talent for mechanical and electronic engineering.
With his assistance, Guan Shan's daily work became much easier.
Each person has their own role, and although the Third Special Task Force is small, each member has their own unique talents.
Lin Xiaoxiao closed the pen cap and looked at Huang Jian, "What about you?"
Huang Jian smiled shyly and handed her his task report as well.
After reading it, Lin Xiaoxiao fell silent.
After a long pause, she finally said, "I asked you to give a lecture on counter-espionage propaganda at a primary school for children of employees, and you arrested two JD members disguised as teachers during the lecture?"
"Hmm." Huang Jian raised his head and straightened his chest, his expression blank.
It's like catching JD is a very normal thing.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at him a few times, left the report behind, and said, "I can't sign this for now. I'll check with my superiors. You can go back now."
Huang Jian said nothing and followed Guo Qingyun.
After the two left, Lin Xiaoxiao picked up the report and exclaimed in amazement, "They're not even going to act anymore."
Over the past few months, no matter what task she gave Huang Jian, whether small or large, he always managed to accurately catch those rats from the scene or from the crowd.
Lin Xiaoxiao suspected that he probably had a list of JD.com members.
By sacrificing these less important JDs, he solidified his position within the National Security Bureau and moved into a core role.
The specific purpose is currently unknown.
But since he wants to catch JD, let him catch as many as he wants. Put a carrot in front of him and slowly let him catch all the JDs he knows.
Keeping him around for now has its advantages.
Thinking this, Lin Xiaoxiao went to report the situation to Director Fan. Huang Jian had just returned to his dormitory and hadn't even rested for an hour when he received another notification.
Inform him that he has another mission tomorrow.
Shi Xinglong, who shared a dorm room with him, said enviously, "Brother Huang, the boss really values you too much. He entrusted you with such an important task and even asked Guo Zi and me to cooperate with you."
"But you're working too hard. In the past few months, you haven't had more than three days of rest in total."
Huang Jian showed little emotion, only saying, "I heard the deputy director is retiring. According to procedure, someone should be transferred to fill the position by next year at the latest. Haven't you seen everyone starting to buy stocks? If we don't look at the length of service and only at the contribution, our boss has a great chance."
Once Lin Xiaoxiao is transferred up the list, the position of head of the Third Special Task Force will be vacant.
Shi Xinglong understood and gave him a thumbs up, "Brother Huang, you have ambition. I believe in you. Keep it up!"
Huang Jian worked so hard because he wanted to get into the upper echelons as soon as possible.
Only by getting to the top can he obtain state-level classified information, and only then will his sacrifice of so many low-level henchmen not have been in vain.
Lin Xiaoxiao had heard Guan Yue, Chu Wuyan, and others talk about the next deputy director several times, even though she hadn't been to the bureau, but she had no opinion on it at all.
She didn't think she was that capable, becoming the deputy director of the National Security Bureau after only one year.
She favored Han Xiu more.
I spend at least 350 out of 365 days a year on the go, traveling all over the country to carry out work in provinces and cities. In the few years since I joined the State Security Bureau, I have solved more than 30 cases related to JD.com, arrested JD.com members of all sizes, and suffered countless injuries.
He sent his younger brother, Han Ling, to the army not to avoid being sent to the countryside, but for his safety.
Perhaps his identity will be discovered by the enemy at some point, which will bring utter destruction to his family.
That's why he sent Han Ling to the army.
Lin Xiaoxiao is a rather lazy person. Compared to being the deputy director, whose identity is exposed to everyone and who has endless things to deal with, she prefers to remain the leader of the Third Special Task Force. She does missions when there are missions and returns to her normal life when there are no missions.
"Daughter, look what Daddy caught for you!" The voice came before he even arrived.
Lin Xiaoxiao snapped out of her thoughts and looked up to see Wen Mo walking in, his clothes dusty and gray, carrying a pure white rabbit in his hand, its eyes red and darting around.
This little guy looks clever.
"Dad, where did you catch it?" Lin Xiaoxiao gave the rabbit a pat, and it immediately started chirping.
"On the mountain."
