Hucheng, a quiet and beautiful city located on the east side of Panyang Lake.
Compared to the international metropolis like Wanghai, the pace of life here was slow. There were no skyscrapers that blocked out the sun, no bustling crowds, and it was rare to see an endless stream of cars on the streets. The buildings on both sides of the street were only four or five stories high. The first floor was usually filled with shops while the upper floors were occupied by people. This kind of scenery was rare in Wanghai City.
Accustomed to the bustling city, the occasional breath of air in a small town was a different experience.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery outside the window, Jiang Chen somehow felt homesick.
Ever since he was admitted to Wanghai University five years ago, he rarely came back. After graduation, he didn't even return for Chinese New Year. If he calculated carefully, it had been more than two years since he last came back.
With the dream of building his own career in the big city, as well as the reservedness of a top student, he swore when he graduated that if he didn't make a name for himself, he wouldn't come back. Thinking back, when he had just graduated, his life could only be described as dismal and dejected.
However, fate was always full of countless coincidences. It had only been a year since he started living a miserable life, but his life had already become so wonderful that it was hard to imagine. Not only did he drive a luxury car with a beauty back to his hometown, but he also had a General Staff Department Santana following behind him.
This kind of treatment, even the governor didn't have.
The car inadvertently passed by the high school he once attended. The familiar school gate and the familiar old face beside the guard room flashed by. Looking at the rusty school badge, Jiang Chen suddenly felt melancholy.
"Do you want to stop here for a while?" Ayesha noticed the change in Jiang Chen's expression as she gently asked with concern.
"No, I want to go home early." Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen shook his head.
If he had to say who he missed the most, it would be his parents.
[I'm finally going home …]
Looking at the familiar street, a sincere smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face.
"Mhmm." Ayesha glanced at the GPS and sped up.
The black Santana behind also increased its speed and followed behind Jiang Chen's Maybach S600 unhurriedly.
Sitting in the driver's seat was a young man. He looked very energetic, but also very impetuous. He should have just joined the company. The man called Old Dao sat in the passenger seat with his eyes half-closed as if he was taking a nap. But those who knew him knew that it would be a big mistake to think that he was asleep.
"Businessmen are so f * cking rich." Miao Jun, who was holding the steering wheel, stared at the Maybach in front of him and said in envy.
He lived in a mansion and drove a luxury car.
However, envy was envy. With his meager salary, there was no hope for him to buy such a luxury car.
Dagger raised his eyelids and glanced at his partner. He closed his eyes again, but his voice was still murmuring.
"Train more when you're young. When the time comes, people will naturally ask you if you choose to retire or be promoted. If you choose to retire, you can take off this uniform and become a bodyguard for the rich. The money you earn is probably enough to buy a car. "
Anyone who could afford to hire a former agent as a bodyguard would not be stingy with the spare change since the bodyguard's loyalty was related to their life. The comrades who worked with him at the General Staff Department and chose to retire, not to mention a luxury car, they had enough money to buy a mansion. Apart from his body full of open and hidden injuries, only those few shiny military ranks could bring him some comfort.
But he didn't regret it. Because he was a soldier. From the moment he joined the army, he chose to walk on this path.
Miao Jun looked at Dagger in shock as he embarrassedly smiled.
"We'll see. Retiring is still too far away for me."
Hearing this, Dagger grinned as the wrinkles on his face squeezed together.
Although his partner, Miao Jun, didn't say anything, he knew the young man would eventually choose to retire. Since he was born in a different era, it was understandable for him to consider more personal matters. There weren't many people like him who were willing to dedicate their lives to a great cause.
"It's getting late, think about it. When this mission is completed, it's about time for your file to be moved up. Put on a good performance, and soon someone will come to ask you. "
"Hehe, what does Captain Dagger think of my strength?" Miao Jun smiled as he said proudly.
His face was filled with the arrogance of a young man. After all, he was a top graduate of the military school. Whether it was electronic warfare, combat, or marksmanship, he received an A + rating. He did have the capital to be arrogant.
But Dagger only smiled as he said casually.
"You might be good enough to be a bodyguard for a small boss, but you're still too young to be a bodyguard for someone who's afraid of death."
Miao Jun didn't hear the praise he expected. He paused for a moment as his face was slightly awkward.
"Someone who's afraid of death?"
Dagger didn't respond to Miao Jun's question as he closed his eyes and continued to rest.
Miao Jun glanced at the senior as his face was slightly dissatisfied.
[I'm the successor of the new era. You're just an old man who never went to college. What right do you have to take advantage of your seniority?]
Under the complicated emotions, he couldn't help but say sarcastically, "This mission is B level.
"This mission is B level. Is it really okay not to be serious?"
Dagger raised his eyelids as he looked at Miao Jun with a teasing look. He only left a sentence with deep meaning before he closed his eyes again.
"The person sitting in the car in front of you is someone who's afraid of death."
Miao Jun was stunned.
Does this mean that he has a powerful bodyguard by his side?
[But other than the foreign girl driving, who else is in the car?
Is he hidden in the trunk?]
Dagger peeked at Miao Jun's confused expression as he shook his head.
[Although this newcomer is quite skilled, his observation skills are too weak.] In the field of agents, it didn't matter if one was skilled or weak, but if one's observation skills were weak, it would be a fatal weakness.
In the car in front, not only could Dagger not see through the strength of the protected VIP, but even the emotionless foreign girl driving, Dagger faintly sensed that she was not weak.
Although this mission was B level, it wasn't difficult at all.
…
Jiang Chen wasn't interested in what the two people in the back were thinking. Just like Dagger suggested, he and Ayesha pretended they didn't exist.
After about half an hour of driving, the car drove into a slightly old neighborhood.
He parked the car in the parking space marked with a white line. Holding Ayesha's hand, Jiang Chen stepped onto the familiar concrete stairs.
He climbed up to the fourth floor and looked at the slightly old door. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In the past three months, he had continuously sent over one million to his family, but now it seemed that his parents didn't even touch the money.
Jiang Chen took a deep breath, raised his hand, and gently knocked on the door.
Ayesha, who stood next to him, had a rare panicked expression on her face. Although the panic was carefully hidden behind the cold mask, the moment her eyes met Jiang Chen's, the coldness melted and the tenderness still exposed the helplessness of meeting the "parents."
Jiang Chen gently squeezed Ayesha's hand and gave her a comforting smile.
"Don't be nervous, my parents are very easy-going people."
Although he said that, he was inexplicably nervous.
Half a month ago, he told his mom that he didn't have a girlfriend, but now he brought a foreign girl home. He didn't know if his parents would be happy or …
The footsteps behind the door were getting closer and closer.
With a squeak, the door opened.
Looking at the familiar face behind the door, Jiang Chen felt his eyes begin to tear up.
"Mom!"
