Chapter 637: Chapter 421: Forgetting Father after Getting a Wife (First update)_2

"There’s a mission, I hope you and Xiaotian can lead the team to execute it." By the way, he also wanted to give the naval and ground troops a chance to interact, learn and collaborate, and deepen their understanding of each other.

Jing Chen frowned, "What mission?" When did a naval marine corps’ mission fall onto an army soldier to execute? Plus, wasn’t it a little overkill? After all, he was the captain of the Special Forces.

Recently, Grandpa Jing felt like everyone was trying to push him to his limits, with no hesitation at all.

"Don’t worry, it’s nothing too major." Jing Zhengyang paused and continued: "There have been several cases of killings in the sea domain near C Province recently. After some investigation, we found that someone has been committing crimes using the nearby islands."

"It would have gone unnoticed, but a little while ago our navy scooped up a deserted cargo ship from the sea, both the crew and the goods have vanished. A merchant claimed the ship as their own and said it had been missing for several days." The merchant had initially suspected the crew of stealing the cargo.

As it turned out, it was not the case; the bodies of all the crew members were stuck there, rotting away.

"Pirates." Jing Chen said, surprised that there were still people daring to be pirates these days.

"Well, they are not exactly pirates." At most, they’re just bad guys. "We investigated the small islands nearby, and there’s only one where people have been seen at; that island has been inspected by our drones. It’s not hard to penetrate, but these people aren’t permanently there, they just come out occasionally to commit crimes; after the loot, they head straight in the direction of Y Country on the sea, I guess all the stolen goods end up there."

"So as not to alert the enemy, we’ve been keeping an eye on the place, but we haven’t taken any action as of yet."

These guys were extremely audacious, it seemed they were willing to do anything for money.

Jing Chen pondered, "It really isn’t a big task." This only sounded like a small task, does he and Jing Xiaotian really need to lead the mission? Aren’t they catering too much to these people?

Grandpa Jing couldn’t help but comment.

"So, the new recruits you brought are the perfect choice to execute this mission." If he had brought Ying Sun instead, he would have felt too awkward to ask.

Ignoring Jing Chen’s comments, Jing Zhengyang continued: "I hope this joint operation can further foster relations between the Navy and the Army, enabling them to understand each other further, and consequently continue to strive for excellence with common goals."

This, was his final goal; longterm.

Oh, right, he almost forgot something. "I received a message from your mom about an hour ago, just before she boarded the plane. Linlin should be..." back soon. However, before he could finish his sentence, Jing Chen suddenly stood up, "I understand the general situation now and will go directly to Jing Xiaotian." After saying this, he straightened up and decisively turned around to leave.

He did indeed leave without causing any ripple, just like a cool breeze.

Watching Jing Chen’s impatient figure, Jing Zhengyang laughed and scolded, "Got a wife and forgot your parents."

Isn’t there still plenty of time? Is there a need to rush? His wife isn’t going anywhere. Couldn’t he chat with him for a bit! They hardly see each other all year round.

Back in the Military Area, Mu Lin parked the car and turned towards his residence.

However, just then, a rustling sound reached his ear. Something was stealthily approaching from behind, step by careful step.

His eyebrows wrinkled, a cold light flashed in Mu Lin’s eyes. The next moment, he formed his palm into a claw and fiercely launched an attack, not holding back.

With a swift sidestep, he effortlessly seized the attacking claw. A helpless voice sounded in Mu Lin’s ear, "Linlin, trying to murder your husband?" After days apart, this was his ’welcome back’ gift, which almost ruined his face.

Recognizing that familiar voice, Mu Lin’s body stiffened. He looked up to see a handsome face adorned with a mirthful smile. The usually icy eyes were warm and gentle at that moment.

"Chen!" Mu Lin looked at Jing Chen, surprise in his eyes, his lips curving slightly, "How did you get here?" Didn’t they say he was being forced to train the new troops in B City military area?

"I missed you, so I came." Jing Chen stepped forward, pulling Mu Lin into his embrace, a laughing voice rang out again, "it’s just a few days apart, and Linlin is already plotting to kill her husband." The voice was filled with playfully pretended grievances, "It really breaks my heart."

Mu Lin’s lips twitched slightly.

What does he mean by ’already’?

Embracing Mu Lin, Jing Chen sighed; he was filled with an overwhelming sense of happiness, he wished he could hold her like this forever. "Linlin, how do you plan to soothe my hurt soul?" Jing Chen looked at Mu Lin with a smile, his hands lingering in the small of her back, unwilling to let go.

"How do you want ’your little soul’ to be soothed?" Mu Lin asked in return, raising her eyebrows.

"That depends on your sincerity." Jing Chen smiled slyly, his face showing a definitely-want-more expression. Mu Lin couldn’t be bothered with him and tried to get his hand off her waist, but she.... couldn’t outmuscle him.

Mu Lin thought, it’s only been a few days and he’s becoming worse and worse.
