CHAPTER 1743: CHAPTER 1744: NEVER TIRED OF LOOKING

You sighed helplessly, "I really have to hand it to you, you joined the selection process without knowing anything."

"Trying to make it sound all mysterious, why don’t you spill the beans?"

Shaking your head slightly, you said, "Do you know why our team has only six people, whereas other teams have at least ten or more?"

"Isn’t it because you guys are already amazing? You can handle ten on your own?" Wei Yingyue said quite naturally.

"No matter how amazing we are, a bullet can still penetrate our hearts and skulls!" You looked at Wei Yingyue, saying, "Let me tell you, our special ops team is known as the cleaning crew in the industry; we specialize in clearing cases that regular troops, armed police, or even civilian police can’t handle."

Wei Yingyue was stunned, "What does this mean?"

"You’re asking me, how should I know? I got a call from Lao Du the night before last and he told me about it."

Actually, there is much more information that you haven’t disclosed, knowing that with Wei Yingyue’s current understanding of the world, saying too much would only hinder her future training.

Wei Yingyue frowned and looked at you, "Why do I always feel like you have a lot of information you’re not telling me?"

"You’ll find out eventually. Next, I will conduct special training for the three of you over the course of a month."

"Okay." Wei Yingyue nodded, knowing that her progress so far was largely due to luck and also because you had been secretly helping her avoid injury—a fact unknown to others but clearly understood by Wei Yingyue.

"It’s over two hours by car from the training camp. Take a nap, I’ll wake you up when we arrive."

Wei Yingyue nodded, reclined the chair slightly, and slowly closed her eyes resting against the car seat.

She was genuinely exhausted and soon her breathing became even.

Looking at Wei Yingyue’s beautiful face, you sighed gently, truthfully not wanting her to get involved.

You know full well that Jerris’s death will surely attract the attention of the Netherworld. Unlike before, prior to returning to China, you wandered with no fixed abode, having residences worldwide; some you lived in, some you bought, others you had built at great expense.

Despite having many residences, you might not live in any within a year, as you spend most of your time on missions, eliminating all hostile forces within your domain.

No one knows where "Ghost god" Ming sleeps, not even his most trusted subordinates.

You do this because you want to avoid exposing too much information to others and this way, you can completely avoid the gaze of the Netherworld until you finally return to China.

Huaxia people value returning to one’s roots; although you’re not old, you understand that with your parents alive, a son should not travel far.

After three years abroad, your originally chaotic heart has gradually settled and become clear; the deceitful life there makes you long for a normal life.

Though starting with such intentions, countless incidents around you forced you to return to your old trade.

In truth, you don’t fear the Netherworld, as China is your main battleground; however, you are most worried about the safety of family and friends.

Previously, anyone from the Netherworld knew Death God Ming was a thoroughly cold-blooded psycho without friends or relatives; besides himself, he had no other weaknesses.

But now, everyone around you could become a target of the Netherworld, used to coerce him.

No surprise there, with your understanding of the Queen of Underworld, you know that woman absolutely would do that!

In your view, even with many people in place, nothing can stop the Netherworld from entering China; they will definitely investigate thoroughly and it’s just a matter of time.

For this reason, you’ve carefully considered that unless absolutely necessary, you don’t want to go head-to-head with the Queen of Underworld and have prepared ample terms to negotiate with her—not for anything else, just hoping to completely detach from the Netherworld and become a free person.

"Ah-Choo!"

Wei Yingyue’s sneeze snapped you back to reality.

You quickly raised the AC temperature and slowly pulled the car over, taking off your coat to gently cover Wei Yingyue.

Once the car started again, from a position that you couldn’t see, Wei Yingyue’s sexy little mouth curved into a lovely arc.

Two hours later, you parked the car in the training camp’s lot; Wei Yingyue hadn’t woken up and you didn’t wake her immediately. Keeping the engine running and the AC on, you sat quietly, simply watching Wei Yingyue.

Even though you’re well-acquainted, Wei Yingyue’s beauty never grows tiresome to you.

Her beauty lies in its delicacy, fine and flawless; in a certain quality, clean and lovely.

Wei Yingyue had been woken early in the morning and had been tense until now, and once relaxed, was naturally quite sleepy.

You were reluctant to wake her, even when Gong Wu had already made three trips, you had no intention of getting out of the car until Wei Yingyue murmured and slowly awoke.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked around, and asked, "Huh, are we there?"

"We are." You nodded.

"Why didn’t you wake me when we got here?"

"No worries, there’s no training today, you can sleep a bit more." You said with a smile.

Filled with warmth, Wei Yingyue smiled sweetly, not saying much as she pushed open the car door and stepped out, seeing the surrounding mountains, she stretched her arms wide, saying with a laugh, "This environment is truly beautiful!"

The training camp is surrounded on all sides by mountains, and only one winding path leads in and out.

This training camp is special; aside from a sentry post on the outside and two soldiers on duty inside, you and the special ops team are the only ones here in this vast training camp.

The camp facilities are complete, allowing self-sufficiency, and you lead Gu Dong and Gong Wu in conducting comprehensive training for Wei Yingyue and the other three rookies.

Before you know it, the year’s end is approaching and your training plan has been disrupted by Du Ping’an for a simple reason: he requests to let five members return home for the reunion New Year.

Although you wanted to refuse, Du Ping’an mentioned Wei Tong by name, stating clearly that if you don’t allow Wei Yingyue to return for the New Year, Old Grandpa Wei would certainly personally drive to pick up his beloved granddaughter, and afterward there’d be no good outcome for you.

Thinking of Wei Tong’s temperament, you reluctantly agreed, considering Wei Yingyue and the others have trained for over a month, it’s time to let them out for a break.

At lunchtime, you walk into the empty dining hall which normally can accommodate a hundred people, and there are only three tables occupied.

Gu Dong and Gong Wu naturally sit at one, Wang Jianren and Li Xiong at another, and Wei Yingyue sits alone at one.

You never dine with them, mainly due to the mask being inconvenient.

Seeing you come in, Wei Yingyue, who had lost some weight since arriving, smiled and said, "Oh, this is rare, after all this time, it’s the first time I see you in the dining hall."

Shrugging slightly, you plop down next to Wei Yingyue, and say to the five people beside you, "Do you know what day it is today?"

Wang Jianren and Li Xiong instinctively shook their heads; under your training, they have developed the habit of shaking their heads. Even if they knew, they’d pretend not to, having suffered many losses in this regard.

Gu Dong and Gong Wu exchanged glances, accustomed to your straightforward way of speaking, as typically, you speak plainly and don’t like beating around the bush.

Gong Wu asked, "Captain, is there a mission?"
