Chapter 1350: Chapter 1369: Rushing Back

Ji Changfeng retracted his sharp gaze and watched with a calm, non-aggressive stare, appreciation for a promising recruit sparkling in his eyes.

"Boss, are you sure you want to choose her?" His subordinate said with uncertainty: "I just investigated, Jiang Nanfei’s background is too complex, plus, she’s Huo Beijiang’s wife. This guy is famously untouchable in all six military regions; even for us from the Special Action Department, it’s best to avoid provoking him."

Good recruits are hard to find. Even though our Special Action Department has significant power and high-ranking positions that make it easy to achieve merit and get promoted, we’re perennially short-staffed, and the casualty rate remains high. The loss of personnel each time brings unbearable heartache.

Every year, they have their pick from students of several famous military academies across the country, yet they rarely find more than a handful worthy of selection.

Especially their boss, whose discerning eyes are so picky it could drive people to despair.

This year, finally having set their sights on one, turned out to be someone they should not provoke.

"Boss, I really advise you not to choose Jiang Nanfei. Although Huo Beijiang isn’t from our system, there are far too many cross-involvements with our personnel. Moreover, the mission on the Sino-Burmese Border the year before last was led by him."

The subordinate glanced at Ji Changfeng worriedly and only continued after noticing he wasn’t upset: "That guy almost blew up an entire hilltop, causing so much trouble." The thought still sends shivers down my spine.

Our Special Action Department is the most clandestine part, responsible only for preliminary investigations, evidence gathering, etc. In later major operations, the most we do is covert coordination or leading. In the face of significant events, it’s inevitable to work together.

Take the recent Kannaya incident, for example; even though our Special Action Department wasn’t directly involved, we know the situation like the back of our hand and have been ready to take part at any moment.

"Once Jiang Nanfei is chosen, Huo Beijiang will undoubtedly become involved. His position in the military is so high, and he is the most likely candidate to be promoted to the Brigadier General Level. Getting entangled with him in the Special Action Department is spelled T-R-O-U-B-L-E."

Ji Changfeng only spoke after a long pause: "Whether Huo Beijiang can return alive is still a question."

His subordinate, frightened by his words, glanced around to ensure no one was nearby before exhaling in relief, "Boss, are you trying to scare me to death? If word of this gets out, just wait for bad luck!"

Ji Changfeng didn’t care about such things; in his eyes, Huo Beijiang is just a young lad, a green youngster five or six years his junior. Uh... although he’s indeed skilled and smart. But Ji Changfeng doesn’t easily let go of people he values.

When Xing Yu drove Fu Xinwu and Nan Fei to the compound, the entire place lit up. In front of every household, people stood silently in the snow, gazing towards the Wei Family’s direction.

They knew that Wei Fangyi and Wei Qin needed no farewells from others or others’ grief, so everyone sent Wei Qin off on his last journey in their way.

The compound was so quiet that it seemed only the sound of snowfall could be heard.

The sound of the car seemed to awaken this flowing sadness. As soon as Xing Yu entered, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightened, then decisively pulled over to stop.

His face looking dreadful, he turned to Nan Fei with a questioning look in his eyes.

Nan Fei gave him a sorrowful look and bit her lip, "Thank you!" After saying that, before she could open the door, Fu Xinwu quickly opened the door and got out. She followed anxiously.

Xing Yu also got out of the car following them.
