"Old Xiao, more than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye. Not long after the accident in Dragon Teeth, you were transferred from Dragon Soul because of an injury, leaving me to support myself. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that now Dragon Soul has fallen into a predicament of a shortage of young and old. Other special teams have taken advantage of the situation to rise, and our Dragon Soul can't even take the first place in the domestic martial arts competition. The glory we once cast is no longer there. Every time I think that our painstaking efforts have been destroyed, I feel like a knife is twisted in my heart. Nuonuo is filial and stubborn. After her brother disappeared, she insisted on joining Dragon Soul. I firmly opposed it, so she ran away from home in anger and came to Ninghai to join some special police team."
In the conference room, Old Xiao's face was livid and his eyes were red. He said sadly, "Old Shen, when you came to Ninghai to carry out the task, I told you many times not to involve Nuonuo in it, but now? I only have a son and a daughter. My son disappeared while carrying out the task, and now my daughter is also missing. Do you want me to die without even a funeral? "
Shen Moru lowered his head and kept smoking. He wanted to explain to his old comrade that from the beginning to the end, he strictly prohibited the Ninghai special police team from participating in this action.
Although Xiao Nuo acted without authorization, her disappearance was a fact. In the face of his old comrade's questioning, he had nothing to say. After a long silence, he fiercely put out the cigarette in his hand, raised his head, and said firmly,
"Anyway, Nuonuo is like my own daughter. Although her disappearance was not my wish, I have an unshirkable responsibility. Old Xiao, don't worry. Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground of China, I will find Nuonuo for you."
Old Xiao was slightly moved and his expression eased. He took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, lit it, and handed it to Shen Moru. Then he lit one for himself, took a deep breath, and exhaled curling smoke.
"Old Shen, my attitude was not good just now. Don't blame me. We have been brothers for so many years, and I know you."
"We're brothers. What's the point of saying that? It's all my fault for being careless. I should have known that Nuonuo would definitely act on her own according to her temper. I should have sent someone to keep an eye on her, but there were too many strange things in this matter. It took too much of my energy, so I didn't think too much about it."
Shen Moru smiled bitterly and patted Mr. Xiao's shoulder to comfort him. "The members of the vampire mercenary group have been taken down. The special police team reported to me that Nono is following the mysterious Bone Demon. At present, we haven't found that the Bone Demon has done anything harmful to the people of our country. Even if Nono fails, there shouldn't be too much danger. Don't worry, before you came, I had already sent everyone to search for her everywhere. I believe there will be news soon."
"I hope so!" Mr. Xiao took a deep drag on his cigarette and asked with a deep look in the smoke, "Tell me, what is the origin of that Bone Demon? I'm just puzzled. A few small mercenaries shouldn't be worthy of you, a general, to come personally, right? "
Shen Moru took a deep drag on his cigarette and his expression became extremely solemn. "Mr. Xiao, logically speaking, this involves military secrets and I shouldn't tell you. But we have been brothers for so many years, and this matter is very likely to be related to Chu Nan's disappearance, so I can only roughly tell you now. According to the situation we currently know, Bone Demon is very likely to be a field agent of our country. He disappeared earlier than Chu Nan and dealt with the mercenary attack on the detention center. I just happened to be there. My real target is actually Bone Demon."
"What?" Mr. Xiao's whole body shook and the ash on the cigarette fell to the ground. His eyes bloomed with a frightening light and he asked tremblingly, "You said that this Bone Demon is related to Chu Nan's disappearance?"
Shen Moru nodded and patted Mr. Xiao's shoulder, who couldn't calm down. "Don't get excited. Listen to me. Since I was transferred from Dragon Soul, I have entered a very special department. You know, there is a confidentiality discipline. I can't tell you what department it is, but my main focus at present is the disappearance of our country's special service personnel and soldiers."
Mr. Xiao nodded understandingly. If Shen Moru hadn't come out of Dragon Soul Special Forces, he wouldn't have told him his identity. But these were not important. What was important was that after three years, he finally found some clues about his son Xiao Chunan's disappearance. He asked eagerly, "What is the connection between this Bone Demon and Chu Nan's disappearance?"
"We have followed Bone Demon for several years. According to various information, Bone Demon is likely to be the best field agent in our country, Comrade Ling Fei, 20 years ago. At that time, he had a lot of achievements and recovered a large number of military secrets stolen by hostile countries for the country. In the end, his identity was exposed and he was on the must-kill list of many countries. The organization arranged for him to return to China to lie low. During this period, he fell in love with a girl in Ninghai and said that he was tired. He submitted his resignation to the organization and married the girl and had children."
Shen Moru sighed. "Unexpectedly, the superior in charge of his line at that time was not willing to let him go, so he let him go to Myan to carry out the last mission and promised that he would be allowed to resign after this mission. He would also be given a large amount of pension that was enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life. As a result, Comrade Ling Fei never came back from this mission. If he was alive, no one saw him. If he was dead, no one saw his body."
Mr. Xiao frowned. "Who is his superior? How can he treat a comrade who has made great contributions to the country like this? "
"I can't say who his superior is. Now he has been listed as our key investigation target. I don't know if he simply loves talent or has a conspiracy to frame him. But after so many years, everyone thought that Comrade Ling Fei had been assassinated by a hostile country. But it was not until about three years ago that Bone Demon appeared in Ninghai City. Because he only moved at night and always wore a hat and a mask, our personnel did not know who he was. They only stared at him out of suspicion. Compared with 20 years ago, his figure has changed a lot. Our comrades also could not identify his identity. In addition, his anti-reconnaissance awareness is very strong, so he would get rid of us every time. So there has been no progress for a long time."
Shen Moru said with deliberation.
"Then why do you suspect that he is Ling Fei and what does he have to do with Chu Nan's disappearance?"
Mr. Xiao asked eagerly. It was news about his son, and his mood was complicated and difficult to understand.
Shen Moru took a deep look at him and explained, "Because we have stared at Bone Demon for more than three years and found his pattern. Either he doesn't appear, or he appears in the middle of the night, and every time he appears outside the window of Comrade Ling Fei's wife's house. He stays for a few hours and does not go in. We once suspected that he wanted to hurt Comrade Ling Fei's widow, but it turned out that he seemed to be remembering something and did not mean to hurt Comrade Ling Fei's widow. This made us suspect that he might be the missing Comrade Ling Fei."
Shen Moru took a drag on his cigarette and exhaled the smoke before continuing, "For more than three years, Bone Demon has never been found talking to anyone. But half a year ago, we suddenly found that he actually covered himself up tightly. He appeared in a cafe at night and talked with someone for a long time."
Mr. Xiao's heart thumped and his face changed slightly. He subconsciously held his breath and listened attentively. He realized that the person Shen Moru was talking about was likely to be his missing son.
Sure enough, Shen Moru's expression was complicated as he said, "Our staff disguised themselves as the coffee shop's waiter to deliver the coffee and used a miniature camera to take pictures of their meeting. Unfortunately, they were very defensive and kept their mouths shut when there were outsiders present. They even chased our staff out, so they didn't even have the chance to install a bug."
Mr. Xiao tremblingly pinched out the cigarette butt in his hand that had burned to the butt of the cigarette. He took out another cigarette and lit it. He took a deep drag and said with bloodshot eyes, "That person is Chu Nan, right?"
"Yes, this is the photo taken by our staff. Although it is only a profile, I remember that Chu Nan has a red birthmark the size of a rice grain on his right ear. The person who met with Bone Demon also had it, so I can basically be sure that that person is Chu Nan."
Shen Moru sighed, stood up, took out a photo from the folder on the table and handed it to Mr. Xiao.
Mr. Xiao's hands trembled violently. He took the photo shakily and looked at the familiar profile in the photo. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. His voice was already cold to the bone,
"Yes, it is indeed Xiao Chu Nan, but if he really betrayed the country, I will not protect him. Just think that I, Xiao Baiyu, have never given birth to this unfilial son. My son died three years ago."
"Mr. Xiao, don't get excited. Think about things in a positive way. Bone Demon has not done anything to hurt our country so far. Maybe Chu Nan also has something difficult to say."
Shen Moru comforted him with gentle and soft words.
Xiao Baiyu turned his head with tears in his eyes. He seemed to have aged decades in an instant, and his straight body also stooped. After a long time, he stood up silently and walked out.
When he walked to the door, he put his hand on the doorknob, turned his head and said calmly,
"Mr. Shen, you investigate it well. According to the withdrawal regulations, I will not participate in this matter. If that unfilial son really does something wrong to the country, don't worry about my face. Just deal with him as you should. Just think that I have never given birth to this son."
Shen Moru looked at Xiao Baiyu's bleak back, and a burst of sadness surged in his heart. Dragon Horn, who was once famous for his strategy and shocked all the major forces in the world, could not get rid of the shackles of human relations.
His only son was likely to be a traitor. This was too cruel for him, who had guarded this country all his life. He could empathize with that feeling.
Shen Moru was sad in his heart, but he firmly said to Xiao Baiyu, "Mr. Xiao, don't worry. I will find Nuonuo."
Xiao Baiyu paused and didn't say anything. He just nodded heavily, pushed the door open and went out.
Seeing the door closed again, Shen Moru felt a lump in his throat. He raised his head, took a deep breath, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and whispered with a determined face,
"Brother, even if I violate my principles and use my privilege once, I will definitely save Chu Nan's life. He is not only your son, but also my godson."
The soldiers who were listening to the young soldier's glorious deeds of Dragon Soul outside the conference room immediately stopped talking when they saw the door of the conference room open. They quickly lined up in a neat line, held their heads high and straightened their backs, and paid their respects to the man who was as lofty as a mountain.
These recruits who joined Dragon Soul not long ago knew from the captain how powerful Dragon Horn, the supreme leader of Dragon Soul, was, and how powerful the combination of Dragon Teeth and Dragon Scales was.
