Chapter 694: Chapter 457: Mu Lin’s Disdain (First Update)_1

Don’t these guys feel that this phrase is a blatant curse?

Everyone conceded that they could only think about this in their hearts. They did not have the courage to say it bluntly like Mu Lin. Otherwise, a few heads wouldn’t be enough for their predicament.

In the hearts of Ying Sun’s people, Mu Lin had become an omnipotent existence beyond their boss; because she had thoroughly subdued their boss.

In front of the boss’s wife, the boss could only admit his inferiority, let alone them.

At nine o’clock in the morning, it was the time to gather and depart. The number of Ying Sun people Jing Chen took with him this time was not many. Including him and Mu Lin, there were only ten people in total; In fact, it was not necessary. But if there were any unexpected problems, the Ying Sun Special Forces and Jing Chen had a better understanding than anyone else; when something happened, the Ying Sun team would handle it more easily; after all, they were more battle-hardened than the security team, and could deal with it more calmly when issues arose.

This is prepared for emergencies, isn’t it?

Just before nine o’clock, the group went directly to the airport by helicopter. After all, if they went by car, it would cause unnecessary commotion when they arrived at the airport. They had to prevent all unsafe factors.

On the scene, Jing Chen led the team to inspect the private jet parked there, inside and out. After confirming that it was safe, everyone boarded the plane.

When the plane took off and flew away from the airport, the few people in charge below finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Rumors are just to be heard as rumors; if you fully believe them, you are really stupid.

For now, what they need to do is to pray that nothing goes wrong along the way, otherwise their entire airline will be doomed.

On the plane, the elder looked at the scenery outside the window, his expression looking rather enthusiastic.

If you really want to say it, he really hasn’t taken a plane in many years already.

"Has the lass never been abroad before?" The old man turned his head, looked at Mu Lin who was leisurely eating fruits not far from him, and suddenly asked. He remembered what Mu Lin had said before, "In that case, this time, maybe you can find a chance to let Jing Chen take you out." This should also be considered a date between young couples.

The old man thought that he might give Mu Lin and Jing Chen some time off; after all, as soldiers they hardly have a chance to travel abroad, unless it’s a mission.

"No." Mu Lin shook her head, seeming unconcerned, "What’s so fun about going abroad? I haven’t even traveled through all the mountains and forests here." With such a vast and resourceful country, Mu Lin said, she preferred it; as for foreign things, Mu Lin said, she was not really interested.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, the old man laughed and continued, "It’s rare for someone like you; now people like going abroad, they think the air is fresher and sweeter, and abroad, they can enjoy the freedom that they can’t enjoy in their homeland." So, do they have no freedom at all now?

But such words from their own countrymen are somewhat hurtful.

"Then they are more suited to live in the original deep forest, where the air is really fresh and sweet, and the food is pure and pollution-free." Of course, it would depend on whether they could catch it. If they carelessly became food for others, it would be a loss.

Mu Lin looked at the old man, her mouth slightly raised, but the words she said made the people around her inexplicably amused.

Mu Lin snorted, the upward curve of her mouth gradually becoming sarcastic, "Freedom, they have no ability, without us backing them, what qualifications do they have to talk about freedom." As a soldier, Mu Lin was certainly able to understand some things she couldn’t understand before, though she didn’t necessarily agree with all of them.

Actually, people and countries are the same, without strength, freedom is just a bullshit existence; these two characters are not something everyone is qualified to enjoy.

Unfortunately, after a long period of peace, the things many people seek are different.

Maybe they should really let them experience another war again, then they will know how luxurious the freedom they have now is, how ironic the things they want to pursue are.

"To tell the truth." Mu Lin’s eyes swept across Jing Chen and the members of Ying Sun, "Having lived till now, I have seen too much reality, sometimes even doubting, what exactly are my brothers desperately protecting? Is it those people who make us laugh?"

The people here give their lives for their freedom, but when those people enjoy the freedom that the previous generation could not, they turn around and look down on the motherland where they struggle hard to enrich and strengthen their lives.

Mu Lin is a protective person, if she personally encounters such people, other soldiers might be able to put aside their prejudices to save people, but her.

Well, she thinks she’ll add fuel to the fire; to lose the most precious life of this life for the sake of defending such people, it’s really an ironic thing.

She doesn’t have such noble sentiments.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, everyone fell silent.

As soldiers, some of them had indeed doubted at times; when they had exerted all their efforts to save others, and their own comrades had made sacrifices for such causes, yet many bystanders would still be there criticizing them. To those onlookers, it seemed as though the lives of soldiers were insignificant.

At such times, they’d be filled with endless doubt.

However, when people were rescued and they saw the tears of joy streaming down their relieved faces upon family reunions, they felt that all of this was worth it after all.

It’s indeed a contradictory feeling, but for soldiers like them, such feelings should absolutely be avoided.

Why?

Because they are soldiers.

If they themselves were in doubt, how could they defend their country and protect the citizens?

When your faith waivers, that’s when the real danger begins.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, the old man looked at her and sighed gently, "If everyone thought like you, we wouldn’t have proud soldiers of our status now." For them, all of these were but trivial matters.

"So..." Mu Lin’s faint smile lingered, "Compared to you all, I never regard myself as a good person." Because she didn’t deign to be such a ’good’ person.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words and thinking about the Mu Lin he had heard of, the old man laughed.

In reality, the concept of freedom varies person to person; at least, for the young girl in front of him, her idea of freedom presumably is to follow the desires of her heart.

His gaze passed over both Jing Chen and Mu Lin.

The old man could tell that Mu Lin was able to stay in their unit mostly due to Jing Chen.

The capacity to retain people is indeed a commendable quality.

Even a plane trip takes about nine hours. If it’s a private jet, they should arrive around five in the afternoon; according to the time in E Country, they should arrive around twelve noon.

Upon arrival, it would be perfectly timed for lunch, although that lunch would have to be eaten on the plane.

The cabin crew pushed the meal cart towards the old man. Before she could reach him, Zhan Zhong stopped her, "I’ll take it." He took over the cart; ordinarily, strangers, especially cabin crew, aren’t allowed to approach the old man.

Zhan Zhong brought the food to the old man. However, the next moment, his eyes suddenly turned to Mu Lin.

Just for an instant, all eyes fell on her.

Mu Lin: ... What are you all doing?

She paused for a moment and then raised her eyebrows.

Done!

Resigned, Mu Lin got up and went over to the meal cart, looking at him indifferently, "I’ll do it."

The cabin crew didn’t hide their surprise; they were confused as to why all eyes had turned to Mu Lin. Moreover, they noted that the person who had taken the meal cart from them held a higher rank than Mu Lin.

They knew about the old man’s identity, and although Mu Lin was dressed in military uniform, she seemed to be just an ordinary soldier. Thus, they didn’t understand why such an important task was given to her.

Mu Lin reached out, opened the lid, followed by placing the meal in front of the old man and handed him the chopsticks. She calmly said, "No problem."

The old man took it with a smile, not finding anything out of place.

Although the old man felt nothing amiss, Zhan Zhong was slightly dumbfounded, almost subconsciously looking at Mu Lin, "Are you sure you don’t need to check it thoroughly?"
