Lin Xiaoxiao was unaware that Lu Xueer had already begun considering divorcing Qin Huaijun and finding someone else.
She was called into a conference room as soon as she arrived at the National Security Bureau.
Director Fan sat at the head of the table with a solemn expression. A dozen or so people sat on either side of him. Having worked together in the State Security Bureau for so long, Lin Xiaoxiao knew all of them well, and they had some interactions at work.
"You're here? Have a seat." Director Fan's expression relaxed slightly when he saw her, and he pointed to a seat on the side.
Lin Xiaoxiao hesitated.
Good heavens, what makes her worthy of sitting at the very front among so many big shots?
"Haha, I'll just sit here." Lin Xiaoxiao was quite self-aware, and with an embarrassed smile, she pulled up a stool and sat at the very bottom.
Although her rank is high enough to warrant that position.
But everyone here has made significant contributions. Han Xiu isn't here either. The youngest is thirty-eight or thirty-nine. It's always better to keep a low profile.
Seeing this, everyone relaxed a little.
Director Fan nodded, not insisting that she sit at the front, and said, "The meeting begins."
Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao was empty-handed, the office secretary brought her paper and pen and placed them in front of her. Lin Xiaoxiao thanked her quietly.
After listening for a while, she roughly understood the main purpose of the meeting: to analyze the situation on the southern border and formulate intelligence policies towards Vietnam.
She summarized the name of the meeting as the Border Security and Counter-Infiltration Operations Conference.
Even after the previous conflict was quelled, Vietnam has not given up its provocations against China's border, resorting to various underhanded tactics. The recent deployment of a large number of Vietnamese troops to the border shows that both sides are serious about taking action.
The situation between the two sides deteriorated rapidly, with Vietnam frequently crossing the border to harass villages, move boundary markers, and encroach on territory. It was also suspected of secretly cooperating with the intelligence agencies of country E.
The superiors believed that since the Yue Kingdom refused to listen to reason and would instead suffer the consequences, then they should be attacked.
War was inevitable, so the National Security Bureau urgently convened this meeting.
"The intercepted coded message shows that country E helped Vietnam secretly train a group of agents with the intention of paralyzing our military command system before the war." Director Fan slammed his hand on the table. "They are truly abusing their power."
The others exchanged glances and whispered among themselves.
The people closest to Lin Xiaoxiao started discussing countermeasures in a lively manner.
Lin Xiaoxiao listened intently.
That's how war works; before the fighting even begins, the intelligence war between the various parties is already raging.
She believed that Vietnamese agents had already infiltrated Chinese border cities and even the military. Whether they were moles or spies, it was a matter of one side taking the stage after another.
After discussing this for half an hour, a final decision was finally made.
"Use countermeasures to deterrence, eliminate the enemy's intelligence network, and cut off their eyes and ears." The resolute statement fell silent in the conference room.
Lin Xiaoxiao knew that the next step was to assign tasks.
Two minutes later, Lin Xiaoxiao received the detailed mission from the Third Special Task Force. After quickly flipping through it, she exhaled a breath of stale air.
The difficulty of this mission exceeded her expectations.
I glanced at the other people's expressions; some looked normal, some looked serious, and some were sighing. It seemed that most of them were not having an easy time.
As the meeting drew to a close, Director Fan stood up from his seat, and everyone else, including Lin Xiaoxiao, also stood up.
"Remember, you are the invisible daggers plunged into the enemy's heart—the blades may not flash, but the blood must be drawn."
A deafening statement.
After memorizing all the details of the mission, Lin Xiaoxiao put all the relevant documents into her spatial storage.
At this critical juncture, she felt it wasn't safe to leave even the intelligence department.
It's best to bring it yourself.
Qin Yushen left on the third day. At that time, Lin Xiaoxiao was still handing over related matters and called a meeting with the team members. The content was very vague, and only one meaning was conveyed from beginning to end.
That means they're going on a mission, but she didn't say what the mission entailed.
Huang Jian remained steadfastly in the Third Special Task Force. Lin Xiaoxiao planned to take him to the border as well, find an opportunity to thoroughly investigate his background, and then deal with him.
Before leaving, naturally, we had to bury the landmines for Qin Huaijun.
The explosion will happen when she returns to Beijing.
Qin Huaijun has been very anxious lately. The deputy director has been retired for half a month, but the transfer order from above has not yet come down. There have been many rumors in the ministry recently, saying that the higher-ups plan to transfer someone from another ministry, or that someone is going to be parachuted in.
Yao Huixian and Lu Xueer kept asking him about his promotion, but he didn't know how to answer.
On Saturday, he finally couldn't resist and secretly went to the courtyard where Fang Yao lived. Unexpectedly, Huang Jian was also there, which made him feel a little awkward.
This was actually the first time Qin Huaijun had met Huang Jian; previously, Fang Yao had been the one relaying messages between the two.
"You must be Yao Yao's brother, nice to meet you." Qin Huaijun smiled and was very enthusiastic. Anyone who didn't know him would think he was a very nice person.
He actually has a violent streak at heart and will hit people if he is displeased at the slightest provocation.
Since Fang Yao and Huang Jian recognized each other, Qin Huaijun has never hit her. He treats her with gentleness and tenderness, and Fang Yao is almost drowning in his gentleness.
Upon seeing Qin Huaijun, she was like a young girl experiencing the first stirrings of love, happily introducing him to Huang Jian, "Brother, this is my girlfriend, Qin Huaijun."
Huang Jian said coldly, "Your boyfriend? He's a married man. Did his wife agree to this?"
Huang Jian has been at his wits' end with his younger sister's obsession with romance for so long.
If it weren't for the fact that she was his only family in the world, he wouldn't want to bother with such a fool.
His words were very impolite, and Fang Yao's face turned pale. Qin Huaijun was unhappy, but he still needed Huang Jian's help, so he patiently said, "Brother, you've misunderstood. Yao Yao and I are the true love. As for the one at my house, well, let's not talk about it."
