[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

There are several different opinions regarding what identity to use to rent a house.

Ultimately, the most agreed-upon approach was that of the conservative couple.

The reason is simple: imagine you are a criminal, and a new tenant suddenly moves in across the hall. No matter who the new tenant is, wouldn't you be suspicious?

The more suspicious you are, the more carefully you observe, and even the smallest problem can be magnified.

Other identities cannot be proven through outward appearances. Only couples can most easily use appearances to reduce the target's suspicion and best integrate into the target's living environment.

However, this also depends on the actor's skill in simulating the most realistic state of a married couple in order to reduce the target's suspicion.

Once the roles are determined, the next step is to determine the actors who will play those roles.

When Gates told you guys, you all unsurprisingly recommended Blizzard and Loewy, since they're a real couple and their relationship would be more natural.

However, this proposal was opposed by Gates.

"Blizzard's impulsive nature makes him unsuitable for this kind of task."

He knew the people under his command well.

In the end, a lottery was decided upon, and Blizzard was excluded, looking indignant.

Ultimately, out of the six of you girls, you unfortunately became the "lucky one".

The role of "wife" has been introduced; now it's time to choose the "husband."

Wang Zhiqiang volunteered: "I'll come. We're from the same hometown, so we'll have better chemistry when we work together."

Although it's just role-playing, intimate behavior might be required during the process, and he has to prevent you from being taken advantage of by these men who are eyeing you!

Gates, however, refused impartially: "No, it must be decided by drawing lots."

"That's right! Of course, this kind of thing should be done by drawing lots. How can Sergeant Zimo cut off other people's opportunities!"

Will bravely stepped forward, his face full of disapproval of Wang Zhiqiang.

Wang Zhiqiang laughed angrily: "You little brat! You better pray you don't draw that, or you'll see how I deal with you after the mission is over!"

Gates laughed and stopped him: "Zimo, you can't threaten your teammates."

Will stubbornly argued, "We'll deal with the future later; right now, we need to draw lots fairly."

Others echoed:

"Yeah, Sergeant Zimo, you're not YN's dad, why are you keeping such a close eye on her?"

"It's just a mission, we're not going to eat her."

"Knowing you're from the same hometown, anyone who didn't would think you were jealous."

Everyone laughed and joked.

"Alright, everyone shut up. Now come over and draw lots."

Gates stopped their noise in time.

You breathed a sigh of relief. You didn't dare to say a word during the commotion and just wanted to find a crack to crawl into.

Gates was very fair; there were a total of 28 men, including himself, so the last lot left after the others drew was his.

Gates picked up the remaining slips of paper, opened them... and found them completely blank.

Gates raised his hand, showing his signed paper.

"Unfortunately, I'm not that lucky one."

The others opened their slips of paper and, upon seeing the blank pages inside, displayed a variety of expressions.

Will looked at the blank slip of paper in his hand and sighed regretfully. Sure enough, his fate with you was always a little short.

Who could have gotten the marked slip of paper?

Will looked at Zi Mo, wondering if it really was him!

Almost everyone opened their slips of paper, but those whose slips were marked still hadn't appeared.

Everyone's attention turned to Zi Mo and Keegan, who were standing side by side.

Only the two of them haven't watched it yet...

Wang Zhiqiang raised an eyebrow, lowered his head, and opened the slip of paper with his hand...

"it's me."

A familiar voice rang out; it came from Keegan beside him.

Wang Zhiqiang looked at the slip of paper that was only half-opened, then stopped and put it directly into his pocket.

Okay, he doesn't need to look at it anymore.

Wang Zhiqiang patted Keegan on the shoulder: "Brother, I'm quite at ease leaving YN in your hands."

After all, Keegan looks cold and aloof, unlike those young punks who are practically wolves and tigers!

Gates clapped his hands: "Alright, now that the mission members have been determined, let's proceed with the plan."

Then he looked at you and Keegan: "You two must be quite familiar with each other, so there's no need for rehearsals, since the mission is urgent."

Keegan nodded, indicating that he had no objection.

You nodded and said, "I will try my best to play the role."

Then you extend your hand to Keegan: "Then I'll have to trouble you to take good care of me, Sergeant. I wish us a successful collaboration."

Keegan extends his hand to shake yours: "Best wishes."

The next morning, dressed in your everyday clothes, you stood behind the door of your new room in a light-colored dress and took several deep breaths.

"Kid, are you ready?"

You hear Keegan's voice behind you, and you turn around...

He was also dressed in casual clothes, a relaxed sportswear set that was loose enough to conceal his physique showing signs of training. He had replaced his mask with a black face mask, which revealed his slightly curly black hair.

You took another breath, then slowly exhaled, trying to put on your most natural smile.

"I'm ready, let's go."

You timed your walk downstairs perfectly, and unsurprisingly, you bumped into the man in the hooded sleeveless black shirt outside the main entrance.

Perhaps because you are new faces, the man stared at you for a while.

You were a little nervous, but you still tried to put on a natural smile. Just as you were about to say the lines you had prepared, an arm wrapped around your waist.

Keegan pulled you toward him, his arm around your waist, your body half-pressed against his chest.

"Sir, we are new residents here. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Keegan raised his hand and pointed with his thumb to the building behind him.

Then Keegan lowered his head, looked at you with his grey-blue eyes, and said:

"Honey, say hello to the new neighbors."

At such close range, in such a deep and pleasant voice, he called you that...

Even if you don’t have any feelings for Keegan right now, it’s hard to stay calm when that deep, gentle voice and those profound eyes are looking at you up close!

Your heart suddenly races, and a blush involuntarily rises to your cheeks.

You smile and raise your hand to the man opposite you, saying, "Hello sir, have a nice day."

You don't know, but your slightly flushed face combined with your smile really gives people the feeling that you are very happy.

The man's suspicion lessened somewhat, and he smiled and replied, "Welcome, and I hope you have a pleasant day."

After saying goodbye to the man, Keegan still puts his arm around you and walks ahead of him.

You only let out a deep breath after you reached the car that the police had arranged for you and got inside.

You place your hand on your chest, trying to calm your racing heartbeat.

"Phew, I'm so nervous, I'm so afraid I'll explode..."

"Knock down!"

There was a knock on the car window. You turned around and saw the man from before, your target, Aimen.

You suddenly stop, but Keegan calmly rolls down the car window.

The man spoke up: "Brother, you'd better park your car a little further out in the future. Collisions often happen in this spot."

Keegan's tone became cheerful: "Thank you very much, we will be more careful in the future."

The man nodded, then waved and turned to leave.

You only truly relax when the man walks away and disappears from your sight.

Then you praise Keegan: "Sergeant Keegan, thank goodness you were here. This is my first time doing a mission like this, and I'm not used to it yet. If it were..."

"Keigo."

Keegan suddenly spoke and then started the car.

You: "Huh? What do you mean? Do you want me to call you by your name?"

Keegan nodded: "From now on, don't use the word 'sergeant' anymore. You can call me by my name, or something more intimate. We're on a mission."

He's reminding you.

You nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then tentatively called out to him, "Keigo?"

Keegan nodded: "Very good, that's it, Kid."

You laugh and tease him: "From now on, you can't call me Kid anymore, or people will think I'm your daughter."

Keegan chuckled and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll keep that in mind."

Keegan drove and parked the car at the intersection as the man had instructed.

After getting off the bus, you feel aimless...

Now that everyone's at work, what are you guys going to do next?
