Protagonist:

Chen Yi

The shopkeeper began collecting information rather unskillfully, receiving packages and mail for Shi Tianlin.

After a day, two more members of the Action Team came to report, and the shopkeeper arranged all of them in a small house belonging to his relatives in the suburbs; it had originally been used for short-term rentals, and now, with three businessmen moved in, it all looked quite convincing.

Shi Tianlin put on a suit for show and began loitering around the streets of Jiangning; after doing this for two days, pistols, submachine guns, and bombs began appearing in the room, though the models were somewhat unsatisfactory, they were still usable.

Feeling that preparations were nearly complete, Shi Tianlin secretly appeared at Jiangning University and began looking for Jin Douna.

At school, aside from not being able to find lost money, asking around about anything else would always turn up its whereabouts.

Shi Tianlin had a handsome face and a sweet tongue, so even though Jin Douna was not in the dormitory listed at the Police Bureau, he still managed to find out where she was.

Thus, when Jin Douna was bravely typing away, preparing to update the "Research Association Bulletin" of 12,000 words, Shi Tianlin knocked on the dormitory door.

"Didn't you bring your key?" Jin Douna opened the monitor in front of her strangely. All dormitory rooms on the 23rd Floor were now available for Chen Yi's use, and had been renovated once more. The prerequisite for enjoying this treatment was Chen Yi's two published articles abroad; of course, even without published articles, if the Vice Principal wanted to, he could always find a reason.

Shi Tianlin's image appeared on the monitor.

"Shi Dage?" Jin Douna was pleasantly surprised, her hand on the button, ready to open the door. During training at Headquarters, everyone's favorite was the Action Team's training; back then, Shi Tianlin was not yet the Captain of the Action Team...

But what was he doing here now?

Jin Douna clearly remembered that during the training period, Shi Tianlin was a young man determined to make further progress, looking down on nothing, always wanting to achieve merit. Moreover, he seemed to have Senior Management background, with an expression of everything under control, quietly waiting for the moment to strike.

But looking at Shi Tianlin in the monitor, he was gentle like a little mouse.

This was of course not his true appearance.

Jin Douna thought for a moment, went into the inner room, took out her 9mm pistol, tucked it into her waist, and then went to open the door. Holding a gun in China was extremely dangerous; under normal circumstances, she would hide it.

The door opened.

Shi Tianlin slowly turned around, his upright chest as if clad in armor, exuding confident charm, smiling: "Jin Douna, I finally get to see you."

Jin Douna smiled lightly, but stared into his eyes without speaking.

"Are you wondering why I came here?" Shi Tianlin switched to Korean, not very standard, but with a "big brother"-like friendly tone.

"A little." Jin Douna answered instinctively.

"Don't you want to invite me in to talk?" Shi Tianlin blinked his eyes full of charm, his entire demeanor suddenly changing, from a mature man to a friendly and safe gentleman, saying: "It's not easy to make a trip to Jiangning, but I have something I need to talk to you about."

"How about we talk right here?" Jin Douna replied in Chinese. She was a little nervous, from all aspects; perhaps it was the Organization that made her nervous, perhaps it was the identity of the Action Team Captain that made her nervous, perhaps it was Shi Dage from the training period that made him nervous, perhaps it was Chen Yi... that made her nervous.

Jin Douna saw Chen Yi's leather shoes at the Porch at a glance, so she would certainly not agree to let Shi Tianlin enter. The Organization was very strict about romance or cohabitation, at least for core members like them.

"Someone inside?" Shi Tianlin still wore a gentle smile, and also used Chinese.

His Korean was crammed at the last minute, and his level was quite average.

Jin Douna shrugged her shoulders and said: "No..."

Her expression was like seeing a Senior Student she admired in middle school, except the Senior Student's sudden gentleness was hard to believe.

Then Shi Tianlin said: "Is that so, then... would you like to go out for coffee?"

Jin Douna hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

She locked the door somewhat flusteredly, and only relaxed after her hand left the doorknob.

However, when the two walked into the Elevator, Shi Tianlin made her nervous with just one sentence: "You forgot to leave your gun in the room."

Jin Douna immediately put her hand on her waist, her finger on the safety.

"Oh oh oh, don't worry." Shi Tianlin tried to press down Jin Douna's hand, but she dodged aside; he didn't mind and said: "It seems you have troubles too?"

"No."

"How is Liu Xinyu? Are you still her Assistant?"

Jin Douna made a barely audible "mm."

"Hehe, I'm not used to this kind of Conversation."

"Me neither."

"Our common point." Shi Tianlin pointed to himself and then pointed to him, looking like a silly young man—he began changing Strategy again, saying: "I remember when we were at school, back then you were not at all Silent, and when facing North Korean trainees, you always used a smile to win them over."

Jin Douna smiled and said: "Not as good as you say."

"You carry a gun with you; is it because you encountered Danger? Do you need help?" Shi Tianlin picked up the topic again.

Jin Douna smiled, and just then the Elevator reached the First Floor, and both walked out.

Shi Tianlin stopped talking about the gun and began talking about interesting things from training. Although many were things he had seen but not Participated in, Jin Douna still found it very moving.

Training at Headquarters was the place she missed most; the life there had changed her.

After coffee, Shi Tianlin invited Jin Douna to Dinner together, and said: "I'm leaving Jiangning tomorrow; our last Dinner."

He was just short of holding up four fingers.

Since things had come to this, Jin Douna couldn't refuse anymore, so the two went to the most famous French Restaurant on Binjiang Road, "Autumn Colors"—a luxurious place said to require reservations two months in advance.

"I also have some friends locally." Shi Tianlin intentionally or unintentionally proved his strength; in his view, besides needing to be coaxed, a young girl most needed to see strength displayed, which was the prelude to conquest, just like intimidating the opponent before a fight.

After the delicious foie gras appeared, Jin Douna finally became happy, but in her heart she thought: Chen Yi had never taken me to a famous Restaurant for a meal. The takeout brought back from high-end Restaurants doesn't count.

Shi Tianlin also ordered a bottle of quite good Red Wine; it was only when dessert time came that he asked: "What is your impression of Liu Xinyu?"

"How so?"

"Headquarters is not very Satisfied with her work this year." Shi Tianlin watched Jin Douna's Expression, ready to change his topic at any time.

"She did as much as she could."

"But she messed up several things." Shi Tianlin said, then suddenly: "Do you know that last year, an inspector came to Jiangning?"

Jin Douna showed a Shocked expression as expected, and said: "Inspector?"

"Yes, but the last message we received was that that Inspector begged Liu Xinyu for protection."

"I don't know about this matter." Jin Douna's vigilance rose again; within the Organization, some changes are very cruel.

"That Inspector ultimately did not go back." Shi Tianlin concealed the fact that the Inspector had acted half on his own initiative, and instead said: "The Organization is very dissatisfied with Liu Xinyu's work."

"So?"

"You are Liu Xinyu's assistant, I shouldn't tell you this, but..." Shi Tianlin kept his face stiff, and said: "I am the one the Organization sent to replace Liu Xinyu."

Expected yet surprising.

Jin Douna covered her mouth, and lost her appetite for the desserts on the table.

"You have to help me." Shi Tianlin stared at Jin Douna; if he couldn't gain her help, he definitely couldn't defeat Liu Xinyu — unless he got promoted, there was basically no harmonious resignation and succession within the Organization — if he couldn't gain help, he could only proceed with low-efficiency and dangerous interrogation.

Jin Douna fell into a very dangerous dilemma; just then, Xie Wuyang walked in from downstairs, pretending to be a rough customer, and came before Jin Douna and Shi Tianlin, saying: "Jin Douna, Instructor Chen is looking for you."

And on the surface, he eyed Shi Tianlin with a tiger's gaze, like a combative snake.

In the process of pursuing his own wife, Xie Wuyang had honed a bulldog-like gaze; in that era, having a woman in the factory was already good, let alone a beautiful woman.

Jin Douna stood up with an unpleasant expression, and asked: "Instructor Chen?"

Xie Wuyang shook his head slightly, and said to Shi Tianlin: "I suggest you leave Jiangning immediately."

"Oh? What will you use to stop me?" Shi Tianlin wasn't someone who easily submitted to others; when he stood up, he seemed even more combative than Xie Wuyang.

"Let's leave." Jin Douna felt Xie Wuyang was stalking her, her expression displeased, but Shi Tianlin's words also genuinely made her nervous; replacing Liu Xinyu meant Headquarters would clean up the Jiangning branch.

Unless Jin Douna agreed, Shi Tianlin wouldn't let her leave on her own, so he put on the appearance of a flower-protector, blocking the way in front of the Korean beauty, and said: "Let me talk with this friend, tell him how to correctly treat women, like a gentleman."

Speaking, Shi Tianlin raised the hard handle, slowly bent it, then threw it with a flick of his hand to Xie Wuyang.

The latter took it in hand and tested it, discovering that achieving the same effect with two fingers was impossible; this proved the other party's level was higher than his own, Body Technique Level 8 or Level 9? Xie Wuyang thus gave up the idea of forcing it alone, and instead pressed the alarm at his waist.

Shi Tianlin of course recognized that thing; his face turned cold in an instant, and he looked at Jin Douna unfriendly, asking: "What's going on?"

"Since you're not prepared to leave, you'll have to stay in Jiangning." Besides the Martial Arts Hall students, Liu Xinyu had also entered.

Shi Tianlin completely gave up the thought of turning the tables, quickly glanced left and right, then chose the street-facing side, leapt into the air, stepped on the doorframe and flew out; several Martial Arts Hall students made a move to chase, but were stopped by Liu Xinyu.

She looked at Jin Douna, and said with an unreadable expression: "Someone will deal with him."

"He just wanted to replace you, that's all." The Korean beauty said quietly.

"The key point is, what Chen Yi thinks." Liu Xinyu said a sentence that was almost a reminder.
