You don't need to worry about that; it won't delay your training or missions," Gao Shiwei interrupted.
Lin Mu was originally a patriotic youth, so naturally, he wouldn't decline an opportunity to contribute to the national defense, especially since it would only take up his free time.
Besides, he had long since integrated the original owner's memories, so he didn't need to worry about the relevant knowledge at all. If all else failed, he still had the system.
Thinking of this, Lin Mu snapped to attention and said loudly, "Rest assured, Chief! Lin Mu guarantees the mission will be completed!"
"Haha, I knew I didn't misjudge you. You truly are a man who dares to take responsibility." After saying this, Gao Shiwei took out his phone and said, "Xiao Zhang, bring her up."
Before long, Lin Mu heard a knock on the door. After being granted permission, a man walked in with Ye Youdie. He saluted Gao Shiwei and then silently walked out.
"I will now announce the appointments." Gao Shiwei said as he opened a file folder on the table. "Lin Mu is hereby appointed as the Director of Department X, and Ye Youdie is appointed as the Special Deputy Director."
"Yes, sir!" Lin Mu saluted and replied.
Only now did Lin Mu understand why Ye Youdie had said she was coming to steal his job when he asked her why she was there.
After all that, the job she was talking about was this.
After taking the appointment letter handed over by Gao Shiwei, he glanced at his girlfriend and found her looking at him with a face full of displeasure, which he couldn't help but find amusing.
"Ye Youdie was recommended by her mentor. Her job is to take over your duties at Department X whenever you are training or out on a mission."
"The relevant personnel will all arrive by tomorrow. Furthermore, to facilitate your work, Department X will be established within Wolf Fang."
With the business concluded, Gao Shiwei departed.
He Zhijun, having finished his lecture, returned as well. He looked at Lin Mu and smiled, "I'm giving you half a day off. Go spend some time with your partner. Off you go."
"Thank you, Captain!" Lin Mu saluted He Zhijun, took Ye Youdie's small hand, and walked out of the office.
Lin Mu walked down the road holding Ye Youdie's hand, enjoying the envious gazes of the Wolf Fang members passing by. It was simply wonderful.
"Ah! Youdie, why did you pinch me?" Lin Mu said, rubbing the soft flesh at his waist.
"Hmph, I'll pinch you to death, you scoundrel! It's been so long since we last saw each other, so why do you steal my job the moment we meet? Also, confess honestly—are you going to be carrying out dangerous missions?"
By the end of her sentence, a mist quickly clouded Ye Youdie's large eyes. Tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall at any moment.
Southeast Asia.
The famous lawless No Man's Land.
There was a mountain stronghold built against the hillside.
Inside the stronghold, in the most luxurious wooden house.
A man blocked one nostril and snorted a pile of white powder from the table with a violent sniff.
Then he threw his head back, took a deep breath, rolled his eyes, and leaned back against the sofa.
The phone beside him rang. Without looking, the man grabbed it and said, "Who is it? You'd better give me a damn good reason."
"Minka, we've met before, and I've already transferred half the payment to you. When will the goods be delivered?" Boss Wu's gloomy voice came through.
Hearing this, Minka stood up from the sofa and said, "Oh, the payment arrived? Good. I'll personally lead the team this time."
"Oh, Brother Minka is delivering the goods personally? Excellent. I'll make sure to entertain you well when we meet, I guarantee you'll be so happy you won't want to leave, haha!" Boss Wu finished and hung up the phone with a loud laugh.
Minka put down the phone, sat on the sofa in thought for a moment, and shouted outside, "Someone, come in!"
"Boss, what's wrong?"
As soon as he spoke, the bodyguard who had been standing outside the door entered.
Minka looked at the bodyguard and said, "Go call Weber, Ruan De, and Nuosi."
When the bodyguard outside heard these three names, he knew something big was about to happen.
The fierce reputation of these three in the local area was no less than that of their boss, Minka.
Soon, two burly and fierce-looking men and a woman with ear-length short hair entered the boss's room.
"Send word down to prepare seven tons of cargo for Boss Wu. I'll deliver it personally this time. You two, pick a hundred elite fighters each. Once the goods are ready, set out with me. Prepare plenty of weapons." Minka looked at Weber and Nuosi.
Turning to look at Ruan De, who was wearing a red dress, his mouth twitched as he said, "Go do what you do best—distract the attention of the Chinese troops."
"This decision is mine. If I find out any of you told my brother about this, I will definitely kill your entire family."
Minka's snake-like eyes stared intently at the three people in front of him as he spoke in a sinister tone.
These three had followed Minka for over a decade and knew their boss's personality all too well.
If he said he would kill your whole family, he wouldn't even leave a dog behind.
"Go and prepare."
"Yes!"
After watching them leave his room, Minka grabbed the drugs on the table and took another heavy hit.
He knew that his current status was entirely due to his brother.
Even the most powerful man in this area, Nuomin, was just a dog under his brother's command.
But he wanted to live his own life, which was why he had brought men and capital here to establish his own power.
Although Minka was a bit hesitant, when he thought of Ruan De's ruthlessness and the madness of Weber and Nuosi, he felt full of confidence in this plan again.
But he seemed to have forgotten one thing: trying to challenge China with nothing but ruthlessness and madness was no different from striking a stone with an egg.
Returning to her room, Ruan De took out a cloth bag hidden in the roof, pulled out a satellite phone, and dialed a number.
"This is Violet. Tell the higher-ups that Minka will be heading out with the goods in the next couple of days. Have them get ready. I will be wearing a red dress when the time comes."
After speaking, she put the phone away and hid it back in the roof.
After finally coaxing Ye Youdie back to a good mood, Lin Mu took her for a casual stroll around the base before bringing Xiao Die back to his independent dormitory.
"Lin Mu, your sister asked me to bring you a message this time. She said she misses you and asked when you can go back to see her?" Ye Youdie looked at Lin Mu and said softly.
"That little girl... I miss her too, but I can't go back right now. There will be an opportunity, though."
When Lin Mu thought of his sister, the image of a lively, cute, and clever young girl appeared in his mind.
Ye Youdie looked at Lin Mu and continued, "Since you joined the army, Xiao Mo has been pestering her tutor every day to teach her computer technology."
"Xiao Mo said you joined the army because of computers, so she wants to learn too. That way, she can come to the military and find you."
Lin Mu was between laughter and tears after hearing this. He was curious how his sister had connected those two things.
"We'll see when the time comes. I'll give Xiao Mo a call later to comfort her," Lin Mu said.
The two of them lingered affectionately in the dormitory for a long time. Then, at Ye Youdie's reminder, he used the landline to call his siste
