An Moxue arrived outside Anping County, got out of Xu Qingfeng's car, and left without looking back. Xu Qingfeng watched her back for a long time before starting the car and driving away.
Upon returning to base, he called his superiors and said, "Boss, Ninth has agreed to take on this mission and has already set off; he's on his way."
"Well, since you strongly recommend her, you must think highly of her. I hope she won't let us down. I don't think An Muyang's daughter is that weak." The person on the other end of the phone didn't seem to be praising her or dismissing her.
"I am still very confident."
"Confidence, huh!" The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have heard a huge joke. "What can that thing do? Completing the mission and coming back alive is what really matters."
"Boss, I get the feeling you're in a bad mood," Xu Qingfeng replied fearlessly from the other end of the phone.
"What's wrong? Are you free? Have you finished making the study plan for the next term?"
"Boss—" Xu Qingfeng said helplessly, confirming that the person on the other end of the phone was in a bad mood.
"Spend more time thinking about how to discipline those brats, and stop thinking about other things."
"Boss, I've been on leave for two years, could I...?"
"What the hell are you thinking? Just stay put, do you think you're so tough? You get all worked up the moment you see someone make a move, but look at yourself."
Xu Qingfeng sighed inwardly, wondering when this would ever end. He felt like he was growing moldy. There were so many people in the organization, why did the boss target him?
"What? You have so much confidence in her, but not in yourself?"
"You know I'm not good at this. Wouldn't it be better to find someone who is good at it and improve the overall strength of the training camp?" Xu Qingfeng felt powerless when he spoke to the leader on the other end of the phone today.
"So you think the confidentiality of our department is unimportant, that it's been infiltrated by all sides like a sieve? Xu Qingfeng, have you gone mad from doing missions? Don't you have a clear understanding of the environment we're facing now?"
Xu Qingfeng was speechless for a moment. He had been recuperating since he came back, and came to the base when he was mostly healed. He knew that he could not return to his peak, but he was not so helpless that he could not do anything, running around here training a group of kids and never stopping.
"Boss..." He wanted to say something more, but the person on the other end of the phone slammed down the phone, and Xu Qingfeng began to reflect.
What does "head" mean?
Is the situation really that bad now?
Or have foreign forces already infiltrated the area extensively?
Or something else?
Xu Qingfeng didn't know, and could only guess, especially since there were many things he couldn't say or ask over the phone.
After getting out of Xu Qingfeng's car, An Moxue, carrying a backpack and a radio, found a secluded spot to store the radio in her spatial storage before slowly walking towards the station.
She had to take a bus to the provincial capital first, and then transfer to the next stop. She planned her route, took out the identity document that Xu Qingfeng had prepared for her, and glanced at it. Whether it was domestic or foreign, An Moxue did not plan to use it. However, she could use it as a reference and make a few different ones in case of emergency.
She put away her documents and walked towards the station. When she arrived, she took out an ID that matched her makeup and bought a ticket for the earliest train, which departed in exactly half an hour.
And so, An Moxue traveled to the provincial capital, and from there took a bus to Quanzhou Sai City, a border city bordering Mongolia and Russia, where the architecture and people are more diverse.
After getting off the train, An Moxue found a guesthouse nearby and checked in.
Upon entering the guesthouse, An Moxue first thoroughly checked the security of the accommodation. Then, she closed the doors and windows, took out a map, and began to plan whether to go directly to Ossali or go to Outer Mongolia first and then transfer to Ossali.
According to most people's plans, they would go directly to Russia. However, An Moxue had looked at the map and analyzed the current relationship between the three countries. It was clear that the relationship between my country and Russia was very tense, and there had been several border clashes this year.
Leaving from here, whether Xu Qingfeng uses a legal identity or hires Lao Hei to lead the way out of the country, they will be subject to strict checks and even humiliation in Russia, which will increase the difficulty of reaching their destination and even prolong the time.
However, Outer Mongolia and Russia have a good relationship. If one can go from here to Outer Mongolia and then get an identity from Outer Mongolia to Russia, not only will the journey be shorter, but there will also be no discrimination in Russia, and it will be easier to find a contact person.
An Moxue made up her mind, went to the water room to get water, took a shower in her space, ate a simple meal of white porridge, eggs, and pickled vegetables, and then went back to her room and fell fast asleep on the bed in the guesthouse.
After several days on the train, they finally arrived in Quanzhou City. The entire journey was on a hard-seat, green train. In the dead of winter, the carriages reeked of stinky feet, chicken manure, and an old man leading a pig, saying it was a breeding pig he was buying for the village. The carriages were filled with a mixture of smells. Even if An Moxue had the best food, she would have had a hard time eating it. Moreover, she was a bit of a germaphobe. You can imagine how uncomfortable she must have been these past few days.
When An Moxue woke up, she took some pine nuts and peanuts and started chatting with the receptionist.
"Hey girl, I see a lot of people living here. Are you very busy?" An Moxue then switched back to her somewhat slovenly older sister persona and handed the pine nuts and peanuts in her hand to the older sister.
The waiter took the pine nuts and peanuts from An Moxue, his attitude becoming noticeably warmer. He said, "To be honest, I've worked here for many years. At first, when there were a lot of people, I was all overwhelmed. But now, after all these years, I've gotten used to it and it's very easy."
From her words, An Moxue could tell that this was an elderly person, someone who knew certain connections that only locals were familiar with.
"Oh, yes, you're an old comrade! My apologies!" An Moxue complimented.
"We're all serving the people! No job is too small, we just have to do our job well!" Listen to that, he's a seasoned veteran.
“Yes, girl, you’ve been here for so many years, you must know someone who speaks Mongolian. Could you introduce me to someone?” An Moxue revealed a hint of sadness at the right moment.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" the waitress asked curiously.
An Moxue gave a wry smile and said, "Sister, I see you're a straightforward and knowledgeable person, so I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me. I've come here to find my man who's been missing for many years. I don't want anything else, just to find him, to know the whole story, so I can give myself some closure. Even if he's married, I won't bother him. I can go back and comfort my in-laws in the afterlife. I heard he might be living with a Mongolian family in this area, so I thought I'd find a Mongolian to learn some Mongolian, which would make it easier to find him. I've heard some Mongolians are very xenophobic, so I was thinking if I learned some Mongolian, it would be easier to find him."
The waitress asked, "How long do you want to learn?"
"Girl, I just want to learn some basic phrases so I can understand people when I need them and not get scammed. I should be able to learn in a couple of days." An Moxue's face was filled with an unyielding bitterness.
Then she added, "Don't worry, even though I look disheveled, I'm still a woman going out, there's nothing I can do about it. But since they taught me something, I'll definitely thank them, on a daily basis." An Moxue leaned close to her ear and whispered, holding up a number with her hand.
