Then let the witch offer her loyalty

“I noticed that you are special, not only because you have a family, but also because your father is a civilian who does not have the conditions for political secrecy.”

"According to regulations, matters related to special training are not allowed to be disclosed to these kinds of people. Think carefully about how you're going to explain to your family that you'll be missing for the next four months."

Chen Moxin nodded in understanding: "I can just make up an excuse to fool my family. My dad is easy to fool."

The man tapped the table with his finger: "If you've made up your mind, take out your phone, put it on speakerphone, and call your father directly."

Chen Moxin took out her phone, dialed Chen Wenzhe's number, and turned on speakerphone.

"Hey, son."

"Old Chen, what are you doing?"

"Nothing much, just arranged to have group sex with a few young girls."

Chen Moxin was completely shocked.

Holy crap, someone's listening in...

Don't you dare tarnish my pure, kind, and innocent image!

Fortunately, the square-faced man didn't react much. He was only responsible for maintaining secrecy and didn't care about the private lives of the operatives' parents.

"Old Chen, I'm already so grown up, don't give me another younger brother or sister."

"What are you thinking? I'm playing badminton with the little girls."

"you..."

Chen Moxin was speechless.

If you're going to play badminton, just say it's badminton. Why do you have to call it a group sport?

Sure enough, the faint laughter of several young girls could be heard from the other end of the phone, with someone calling out "brother" repeatedly, and Old Chen responded with a hearty laugh.

"Stop playing around, take a break. There's something I need to tell you."

“I’m resting, you say.”

“Our team has taken on a case, and I’m going abroad for a while and won’t be able to go home for some time.”

"What case? Why would they send a newbie like you to handle it?"

"It wasn't just me, it was our whole team that handled it. Don't ask me for details, there are confidentiality regulations."

"If you don't want to ask, then don't ask... How long are you going to be abroad?"

"4 months."

"what?!"

Chen Wenzhe's emotions were very stable before, but now, after hearing that it's been 4 months, his voice has risen several octaves.

"Four months?! What kind of case requires four months abroad?!"

"Regarding this matter, you just need to understand. In short, this is the current situation. You may not understand the specifics, but that's the gist of it. I've seen this kind of thing many times. I just want to say that those who understand will understand, and I won't explain further to those who don't. Just know it yourself."

"What the hell are you spouting?! If there's a case to handle, then go ahead and do it, but you have to call me every day to let me know you're safe!"

"Ahem... I was just about to tell you this. Because it's a secret case, our phones will be confiscated, so you definitely won't be able to contact me then."

"What's going on at your company?! How can they just make someone disappear for four months?! Call your boss over, I want to talk to him!"

"Don't call me 'boss,' or you'll just be making things difficult for me. Just know that this is about it."

"No, I don't agree!"

"Old Chen..."

"You've gone abroad again, and I can't contact you anymore. I won't even know you've died overseas! You're my only son. If you die, I won't live either! I'll go straight to your workplace and hang myself! Nobody will get away with this!"

"Don't worry, it's not that exaggerated. I already said that the whole group is going out, it's not just me alone. The seniors will take good care of me."

"That's not OK!"

Seeing that Chen Wenzhe's attitude was very firm, Chen Mo thought for a moment and had no choice but to use his trump card: "Old Chen, let me be frank with you, this mission is very important to my career and is related to my future promotion."

"How about this, you and I make a deal: if I don't get things done well abroad this time, I'll resign when I come back and honestly inherit the family fortune as a spendthrift son, how about that?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone; only the laughter of the girls playing ball could be heard.

After a long pause, Chen Wenzhe's deep voice rang out.

"Do you keep your word?"

"Of course, you know I've always been an honest person since I was a child."

What if you try to renege on your promise?

"How could that be? Think about it yourself. I work to achieve something. If I have problems getting promoted and can only muddle through at the grassroots level, I might as well just quit. Wouldn't a fortune of hundreds of millions be better?"

Chen Wenzhe pondered for a long time.

He never approved of Chen Moxin working; he only hoped his son would be a rich guy like him, living a life of luxury and pleasure.

He couldn't resist his son's insistence before, but now that he finally has a chance to gamble, Old Chen is naturally unwilling to miss it. Now, he's just more concerned about his son's safety.

Are you sure you won't encounter any danger on this trip abroad?

"It's not dangerous. Think about it yourself. I'm a complete newbie who just joined the company. Would I be the one to do those dangerous jobs?"

"Too..."

"right."

Chen Wenzhe pondered for a long time before finally muttering, "...Alright then, take care of yourself, ask your seniors for advice if you encounter any problems, and don't act impulsively."

"Also, listen to me carefully. I'm not joking. If anything happens to you, I really won't live anymore. Xiaobai will definitely come to join us, so we'll have three lives. Think about it carefully."

Chen Moxin said in a light tone, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. That's all for now. I'm leaving next Friday. I'll leave work on time these next few days and spend more time with you and Xiaobai when I get home. Bye-bye."

After hanging up the phone, the square-faced man glanced at Chen Moxin and said, "I didn't have time to remind you earlier, but hunter training is dangerous and can't guarantee your personal safety. People have died in accidents before."

"Given your family situation, do you want to reconsider? Otherwise, if something really happens to you and your family members come to the station to commit suicide, we will be in a very difficult position."

Chen Mo thought to himself: I'm a psychic now, so if you're so capable, then kill me.

"No need to think about it anymore. From the first day I joined the Bureau, I was prepared to dedicate everything. I will burn for the Empire, and burn forever!"

The square-faced man had no idea why the court would recommend a completely unqualified newcomer. Of course, it wasn't his place to question it, nor did he want to get involved; everyone was just doing their job.

From a personal perspective, he originally did not think highly of Chen Moxin.

However, seeing that Chen Moxin had such awareness, he couldn't help but nod, thinking that at least the person's attitude was good.

"I'm all set here. You can go back now and wait for further notice."

Chapter 52 Farewell, See You Again in Early Summer

That evening, Chen Moxin left work on time as promised and went home early to have dinner with Chen Wenzhe and Dong Xiaobai.

At the dinner table, Old Chen kept giving Chen Moxin instructions and advice.

"When you go abroad, you must be careful. Ah, foreign countries are not like China. It's very chaotic at night. If you don't have to, stay in the hotel and don't go out and wander around."

"No matter how busy you are at work, you should eat properly. Don't just buy some fast food to get by. Fried chicken and fries are not nutritious. Go to the supermarket and buy more vegetables and fruits."

"No matter what happens, communicate more with the seniors in your group. If you encounter any danger, never be reckless. Protect yourself first, understand?"

Although Old Chen didn't say it, he was definitely very reluctant to part with it.

This is my own son whom I watched grow up. Even when he lived in dormitories during high school and college, he would come back every weekend and never leave my side.

Now that his son has suddenly said he wants to go abroad for four months and can't be contacted, what father wouldn't be worried?

But that's how men are. No matter how reluctant they are, they definitely can't bring themselves to hug Chen Moxin and cry, saying things like "Dad can't bear to part with you" or "Dad misses you so much."

Old Chen kept giving instructions while drinking, getting himself completely drunk.

Late at night, Chen Moxin woke up halfway through her sleep feeling a bit hungry and wanted to go downstairs to the kitchen to find something to eat.

As he passed the study, he saw that the light was still on.

Chen Moxin quietly walked over and, through the dim light, found Chen Wenzhe sitting alone at his desk, looking through old photos.

Those are photos documenting Chen Moxin's growth from childhood. There are photos of him when he had just learned to walk, wearing a blue onesie, his small body staggering towards his father, his little hand outstretched high.

There are also group photos from his high school graduation. He is wearing his school uniform and standing on the playground. His father puts his hand on his son's shoulder, which is taller than his own, and his face is full of pride.

Chen Wenzhe slowly flipped through the photos that carried memories of the past, his movements slow and gentle. The light from the desk lamp shone on his face, illuminating the wrinkles of those years.

He would pause for a moment after flipping through each photo, as if he were transported back to the past, and a sense of reluctance would quietly well up in his eyes.

...

Time passes day by day.

In the past few days, Chen Moxin has been going home early to spend time with her family and has also been doing physical training on her own. Every day she does 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, plus a 10-kilometer run.

Although I don't know what subjects the Hunter Training Camp will include, it's always good to be prepared for physical fitness, and it's never a bad thing to train yourself to a higher level early on.

Soon, the day of departure arrived.

Last night, Dong Xiaobai helped Chen Moxin pack her luggage for going abroad.

Dong Xiaobai had no idea that these luggage items would never be used. She checked them over and over again to make sure nothing was missing and piled the clothes as tightly as possible, just so she could put an extra bottle of homemade sauce inside so that Chen Moxin could taste the flavors of home even when she was abroad.

Before leaving, Dong Xiaobai seemed to have something to say, but she was not good with words and didn't know how to start. In the end, she could only silently straighten Chen Moxin's collar before he left, her eyes still a little red.

Chen Moxin smiled gently, opened his arms, and hugged the girl he had grown up with. Her unique fragrance filled his nostrils, as if it were the scent of time itself.

"It's late winter now, see you in early summer."

Dong Xiaobai hugged Chen Moxin back, her eyes slightly red and tears welling up in them. But she was afraid of affecting Chen Moxin's state, so she held back her tears and poured all her reluctance into her embrace.

"You must come back safely..."

Chen Moxin reached out and patted the back of her head before leaving.

The winter mornings are especially cold; every breath carries a chill. Snowflakes flutter down from the gray sky, covering everything in a blanket of white frost.

Chen Moxin got into the car and drove to the Administration Bureau for the meeting. The scenery along the way was blurred by the snow, as if the whole world had lost its focus, and the view was empty and desolate.

The meeting point was in the underground parking lot inside the management bureau. Chen Moxin arrived relatively early, and there weren't many people there yet.

He climbed into the bus, found a seat, and sat down, looking down at his phone.

He had sent Luo Lingyou several messages before, wanting to say goodbye to her.

After all, if it weren't for Luo Miaoyou's help in obtaining the court's letter of recommendation, he wouldn't even have the right to sit here.

I've been working during the day and spending my evenings with my family these past few days, and I've also been training my physical fitness. I haven't had a chance to treat her to a meal yet, so it's necessary to say goodbye before I leave.

However, whether it was because she was too busy with work or because Chen Moxin hadn't contacted her these past few days, she got a little grumpy.

All messages sent to Luo Lingyou have been read but not replied to.

Chen Moxin held her phone, staring aimlessly at the car window filled with white mist. It was so quiet here; all she could hear was the howling wind and snow outside, and the echo of her own heartbeat.

Time passed slowly, and the assembled people gradually arrived.

The square-faced man who had spoken with Chen Moxin earlier got into the car, carrying a detector and a storage bag. He said, "Except for your clothes, hand over all your personal belongings for safekeeping."

The square-faced man collected the items one by one, scanning each person to make sure they hadn't stolen or forgotten to hand over anything.

"Chen Moxin, it's your turn."

Chen Moxin closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat, letting out a weak sigh.

"What's wrong? Are you nervous about the special training?"

Chen Moxin shook her head, her tone somewhat melancholic: "I wanted to say goodbye to the pretty girl, but she didn't reply to my messages. I'm so upset, I don't want to live anymore."

Everyone else on the bus looked over, curiously eyeing the unserious Chen Moxin.

The atmosphere before departure was quite tense, but his witty remarks eased that tension considerably.

The square-faced man laughed too: "You have a pretty good attitude."

Just as Chen Moxin was about to hand over the phone, it suddenly vibrated twice.

Upon closer inspection, Luo Lingyou had replied to the message.

Have a safe journey.

I hope you can bring me more joy.
