In Wu Sicheng's dining room, he had prepared a large table of dishes, and the two of them sat on either side of each other.
Wu Sicheng placed a dragon on An Moxue's plate and said, "Moxue, try this crispy dragon. It's the kind of dragon meat from the heavens."
An Moxue looked at this tiny thing. Was it really that delicious?
"Eat up! You should like it." Wu Sicheng said, picking one up for himself as well.
An Moxue took a bite of the flying dragon with a spoon, and it was truly delicious; it was indeed a gift from nature.
"Why did you think of having me eat here at this time? We just escaped death."
"My mission is over and I'm going back home. I wanted to cook you a delicious meal before I left."
As he spoke, he handed a box to An Moxue.
An Moxue didn't take it, but looked at him with a questioning gaze.
Wu Sicheng looked at her, somewhat helplessly, and said, "This is a list of my own connections. There's a token inside. With the token, you can go to them when needed and use them for your purposes. Don't worry, this is my own sphere of influence, not belonging to the country. Also, I had someone investigate the case of your parents, the network of people in England, and we've made some progress. However, it involves some classified research projects, so progress will be slow. After I return to China, if there's any more news, someone will come directly to you. This is his name and contact information. Don't worry, he's my grandfather's butler. He knew I was here on a mission and came specifically for me. He's trustworthy."
After saying that, he pushed the box in front of her. An Moxue looked at him, shook her head, and said, "I can't take the list. You can keep it. As for the matter concerning my parents' case, thank you. I'll keep this."
As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper from inside, handed it to Wu Sicheng, and asked, "Is this it?"
"Yes." He knew she wouldn't accept it, so he could only give the order to keep an eye on things regularly.
The mission was actually completed long ago; if it weren't for the addition of a new mission related to Confucianism, he would have gone back long ago.
Looking at the person opposite him, he was still reluctant to leave, but he was a soldier and had to put the interests of the country first at all times. He could not let personal matters interfere with public duty and did not return.
“Okay, I’ll keep this. I really need it.” An Moxue said, pushing the box back to him.
"By the way, you're going back this time not for a promotion, but congratulations!"
"The higher the position, the greater the responsibility, and the less one can afford to neglect their duties," Wu Sicheng said with utmost seriousness.
He changed the subject and started talking about other things, "Be careful here. I received news that Kong Daoxue has gone to the Northwest Research Institute. I don't know if you know about it, but it's a remote place. Without a guide, you can't even get out. So your personal safety is definitely not a problem."
"That's good." She thought that Kong Daoxue's focus on research should suit him perfectly.
"How is your injury?" Wu Sicheng asked worriedly.
"It's nothing serious, don't worry." Neither of them expected that a large-scale chase would occur just before they got off the train, which put them in a very dangerous situation, but fortunately they managed to escape in the end.
"Recently, there have been several clashes between soldiers from both countries at the Fairy River border crossing, resulting in bloodshed and deaths. There's a possibility of a larger local conflict. Border checks have also been tightened significantly, creating a tense atmosphere that could easily escalate out of control. You need to pay close attention to this situation."
An Moxue hadn't received the message yet, and asked, "Was the message deliberately suppressed?"
"Only the border military headquarters and leaders know about it; it's a secret!"
"Can you fight?"
"have no idea."
......
Wu Sicheng has been gone for some time now. An Moxue goes to school every day, expands her influence, and collects information. There are no high-risk missions for the time being, and her days are peaceful and comfortable.
Before long, the school's exchange student program with other countries was made public, and An Moxue's documents were submitted and the procedures were being processed. Next semester, she will go to England as an exchange student.
The leader has already reported this matter to the organization, and it has been approved.
News of the border conflict between Lan Kingdom and Eseli has spread. She has just received a mission to escort a group of illegal immigrants back to Lan Kingdom. These people will find their own illegal immigrant recruiters. She just needs to pretend to be an illegal immigrant and escort them secretly.
Those people are all individuals who have contributed to the country in their respective fields, but due to the increasingly tense relations between the two countries, they are being severely marginalized here.
Now, An Moxue is part of this small team, and they are about to set off.
She had already made secret contact with them. This escort mission consisted of seven people, both men and women, the youngest being almost forty and the oldest almost sixty. The task was arduous and could not be ignored.
Now, the leader is giving a speech: "Listen up, everyone. You cannot leave the group without permission while crossing the border, and you cannot speak loudly. As long as the group keeps moving, you cannot stop. You must obey orders. If anyone disobeys orders and causes danger, no one will save you. Now, let's go."
The group set off. It was a dark and windy night, and An Moxue walked at the back of the group, constantly observing the surroundings.
At first, people walked smoothly, but as time went by, they gradually slowed down.
The further they went, the denser the forest became, and the more animal sounds they heard, which made their hair stand on end. No one dared to complain; they all kept up with the pace and persevered.
I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I'll be left behind, and then it will be very difficult to survive in this dense forest.
Just as everyone was on edge, the leader in front made a hand gesture, and the guards behind him whispered, "Take cover, hide!"
As danger loomed, An Moxue grabbed the three people closest to her and whispered, "Come with me." Then she pushed them behind a large tree and said, "Hide well and don't make a sound."
Then, in a flash, he ran towards the other four people.
After settling the remaining four people, she found the best spot and saw soldiers patrolling in the distance.
Now, there was no sound behind them. Some people even covered their mouths in fear, looking at the patrol in front of them with trepidation, afraid that they would be exposed if they were not careful.
Everyone prayed silently that the patrol wouldn't come again. It seemed as if the gods heard their prayers, and they walked further and further away.
Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, the last one looked back, then turned and left.
An Mo even heard someone next to her breathe a sigh of relief. She turned around and saw that everyone in the light and shadow looked the same way.
After a while, the leader sent a message, and they continued on their way.
Some people were so scared that their backs were soaked with sweat and they felt weak and exhausted, but they dared not complain and tried their best to keep up.
An Moxue weaved through the crowd, comforting the seven people and secretly slipping each of them a little jerky, whispering, "This is normal, don't be afraid, try to eat more to maintain your strength."
