Chapter 609: Chapter 406_1

"This is your next assignment."

Jing Chen took it, casually flipping through the pages, and then looked at Ouyang Jun with a questioning eyebrow, "Are you sure you’re not joking with me?"

Any team could handle such a task, so why give it to him?

Moreover, his team, Special Forces Ying Sun, are on vacation now. Is he supposed to call them back for this assignment? Any other team could handle this. He remembered that most are in the middle of the training, right?

Actually, Jing Chen felt that although this assignment was neither big nor small, they were only being asked to assist from the side, there was no need to deploy a specialized Special Forces team.

It wasn’t that Jing Chen thought Ouyang Jun was making a mountain out of a molehill, it was just that this assignment seemed a bit too roundabout.

But the next moment...

"Ying Sun is not the one being sent." Ouyang Jun said to Jing Chen in a leisurely manner.

Jing Chen raised his eyebrow, "No?" If not, why was he shown this?

Ouyang Jun smiled and leaned back a bit, "Though we’re not sending Ying Sun, I hope you can handle this assignment." Jing Chen kept silent, simply looking at him, waiting for him to finish, "This is an assignment I got from elsewhere, I hope you can pick twenty men from Marksman Squad Six and Recon Squad Four to carry out this assignment. You’ll be leading them."

Such opportunities were rare, and he should seize it. Especially since Jing Chen had recently been unusually obedient. Although he’d given the Marksmen a hard time, he’d shown some mercy.

Ouyang Jun actually expected it to be worse.

Marksman Squad Six: ...

Jing Chen gave no response as Ouyang Jun continued on his own, "This assignment comes from a province near the coast of A Province, where our border defense base is located. Your mission is to catch the target and hand them over to them, then bring those women back."

"I know this is different from your previous assignments, but our intel on this came from a painstaking effort." He paused a moment before continuing: "I’ve heard this deal is big, the other side’s leader is personally handling it." That’s why the coastal defense in A Province reported it to higher-ups and requested backup.

He’d just talked with them today, so he knew about it. Perhaps it was considered a good opportunity for the rookies to gain some experience while led by Jing Chen.

Jing Chen studied the information. Ouyang Jun knew he’d accepted it.

This assignment, was just a common, yet universally detested event.

In A Province, there is a gang. They’re neither big nor small, but the things they’ve done have made everyone angry. While not a large gang, they are audacious. A soldier at the border defense saw it first when a relative went missing and couldn’t be found for several days. He took a month’s leave to look for her, but unfortunately found no clues a month later. The police were in the same boat. He later found out she was far from the only one missing, and the police were already investigating.

Since then, he used his free time to search, but found nothing. Until one day they were patrolling the sea, and he personally pulled his relative’s corpse from the water. If not for something on her, he would never have recognized her as his niece.

He thought he was prepared to hear about her accident, but never expected it would end like this.

The incident drew the attention of the coastal defense post.

They began investigating, finding where the body came from. Eventually, they found a clue on the soldier’s niece.

Those people were kidnapping women from all over the country under various pretexts. They would then sell them to various places, even overseas, controlling them and organizing their trafficking activities.

Latterly, in order to bring the gang to justice, the soldier volunteered to be an undercover operative. After half a year of investigation, they finally had a chance to capture the gang in their entirety.

"This time it’s not so much a sale," Ouyang Jun continued looking at Jing Chen, "It’s an exchange. The overseas crime syndicates exchanged their women for ours. Apparently, many people over there prefer our women, saying they are more gentle and affectionate. Hence, the volume of this trade is pretty large." The exact number, however, was still unknown.
