Chapter 497: The military uniform you helped me get — it even came with rank insignia?

He actually still remembered… Yu Dazhang felt a little overwhelmed by the favor.

So much had happened lately that he thought Li Mingzhao had long forgotten all about the military uniform.

"No rush, no rush."

Yu Dazhang quickly said politely:

"Once you're free, just mail it to me in Songhai. I'll cover the postage, cash on delivery."

This time he saw things clearly: the cases the Ministry of State Security handled were far too high-level, and the enemies they faced were even more ferocious.

By comparison, being a criminal investigator was easier.

"What were you thinking." Li Mingzhao's face darkened:

"You don't take the military uniform seriously at all."

Was that really necessary… Yu Dazhang saw that he seemed genuinely angry and was a bit baffled.

Mailing the uniform means he doesn't take it seriously?

From the sound of it, it had to be handed over in person.

"Then I'll wait a bit longer?" Yu Dazhang said hesitantly.

To be honest, he was actually a little afraid of this Team Li Zuzhang right now.

"That's more like it."

Li Mingzhao showed an expression of "this pupil can be taught":

"For now, things seem to have wrapped up. The Fifty-Third Institute is moving in the next few days too, so help us keep watch."

Yu Dazhang immediately picked up on the other layer of meaning in his words.

During the Fifty-Third Institute's move, he was to watch for anyone tailing them in secret.

Now that the moles had been caught and the foreign enemies rounded up in one sweep, the only worry was that some fish that slipped through the net might seize the chance to slip in.

"No problem."

Yu Dazhang agreed readily:

"I guarantee I'll complete the task the leadership assigned."

Afterwards the two went to the meeting room, where Li Mingzhao laid out one by one the security tasks for the coming days and the directions to watch.

Worth mentioning, Yu Dazhang was assigned once again to Xiao Yi's squad.

Over the next few days, they were like a group of hunters hidden in the mountains, quietly lying in ambush in the hills, secretly watching every move on the mountain.

The four-person squad had also, without realizing it, come to treat Yu Dazhang as their squad leader.

Originally they had assumed this fatty just had unusually good eyesight and hearing.

But after that incident at the bar, they realized this seemingly clumsy fatty actually struck so ruthlessly.

Their so-called enemy-kill counts were mostly tallied from multi-person firefights.

Most of the time their side even had the numbers advantage.

But this fatty was different.

His kill count came from one-on-one fights.

And he, alone, took on a whole group on the opposite side.

Even more terrifying, he won.

Well, if not for Team Li Zuzhang, this fatty would have been stabbed to death long ago.

Still, that didn't affect the record he'd left behind.

Luck is part of strength, after all.

In just one operation, he alone killed eight, which made Xiao Yi and the others seriously doubt what Yu Dazhang had said before.

A man like that had never had blood on his hands before?

Only a fool would believe that.

After several days of observation and intelligence gathered outside by the Ministry of State Security, it was finally confirmed that the enemy's top agents had all been netted.

The upcoming transfer would be much simpler.

Two steps: personnel transfer and equipment transfer.

During the transfer, they kept watching from the mountains, and only after the entire Fifty-Third Institute had been emptied out did they withdraw from the hills.

As for where it had been moved to, not a single person in the squad was curious.

Some things were best left unknown.

Safety first.

When they returned to the living area again, Yu Dazhang clearly felt it was more desolate than before.

They do say a place needs people to give it life.

Once the people disperse from a place, it becomes bleak and deserted, as if even the air had grown heavier than before.

In the meeting room.

"This mission has been successfully completed."
