Chapter 249: Chill in the Bones
The dance was over.
Li Mengman had just returned to her room when the intelligence officer brought her a secret message from above. She read the message and thought to herself, why are they so anxious?
Li Mengman hurried to find Que Dongjin.
"Who?" Que Dongjin recognized Li Mengman's footsteps and her knocking on the door, but he deliberately asked. He had just taken off his coat and was about to take a shower. He didn't know why Li Mengman was looking for him at this time. Logically, if she wanted to say sweet words to him, she would wash off the sweat on her body before coming.
"I, Li Mengman, have an urgent matter." Director Li said without thinking too much.
Que Dongjin opened the door, looked at Li Mengman and smiled, saying, "You haven't taken a shower either, have you? I was just about to take a shower. Why are you in such a hurry? Is there really something urgent?"
"I didn't expect that you would be given the task so soon. I came here as soon as the secret message arrived." Li Mengman went in but did not sit down. She looked at Que Dongjin.
"What mission?"
"The higher-ups asked you to buy a batch of guns to equip your action team. Look at this secret message. They asked you to meet this person tomorrow. The contact codes are all here. Also, they reminded you to be careful to avoid being cheated. We trade with people using hard goods, and this person only accepts hard goods, not cash. It seems that he is a very important person." Li Mengman said.
"Do you know who he is?" Que Dongjin asked.
"I don't know. This batch of guns is very advanced and is imported from Germany. I heard that people in this business are very cautious and generally unwilling to disclose information. Only a few people in the circle know some of their situation. How do you plan to trade with him? How many people will you bring?" Li Mengman asked.
"It's not a war, nor an assassination. Isn't it just buying some goods? There's no need to bring so many people. I can just take two people." Que Dongjin said.
"Okay. You have to be careful to prevent them from robbing you. You know , the purpose of the higher-ups sending the armed action team is to equip them, and there will be more important tasks next." Li Mengman said.
"I know, I will be careful, don't worry!"
"Who do you plan to let follow you?" Li Mengman asked.
"Qin Shili and Li Lexuan."
"You decide this yourself! Okay, you have to go and notify them both and make preparations. I'm leaving." Li Mengman said and turned to leave.
Que Dongjin didn't have time to take a shower, so he went out too.
"Why are you in such a hurry to inform them? The two of them just went back, they must be taking a shower. I think you should take a shower first and then go find them! Or, you can knock on the door and they say they are taking a shower, then you can wait in front of the door?" Li Mengman turned around and looked at Que Dongjin.
"Thank you for your reminder. You see how anxious I was." Que Dongjin said and went back, closed the door and took a shower.
After Que Dongjin took a shower, he thought about who to notify first. After some thought, he decided to notify Qin Shili first. He made this arrangement because he wanted to talk more with Li Lexuan when the time comes.
When Que Dong came to Qin Shili's door, Qin Shili had already showered and dressed for sleep. She heard Que Dong coming in to find her and asked loudly, "Why are you looking for me at this time?"
"It's official business, and it's urgent. Open the door." Que Dongjin said.
Qin Shili opened the door and said, "I'm already dressed in my pajamas and ready to go to bed."
"I'll be leaving in a moment. Get ready and follow me to carry out the mission after breakfast tomorrow. Pay attention, you can dress casually and just carry small weapons." Que Dongjin said.
"What mission? He went on a mission right after graduation and was not even given a day's rest." Qin Shili said.
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. I asked you to carry out the mission and you still want to rest. If you don't want to go, I'll replace you." Que Dongjin looked at Qin Shili without a smile.
"Not all team members are going? Don't change, don't change. I know not all of them are going, it's because Captain Que thinks highly of me." Qin Shili said with a smile. She would not look at Que Dongjin's expression.
"Okay, get ready. We'll set off after breakfast tomorrow." Que Dongjin said and turned to go out.
"Hmph! Look at how anxious you are, and you don't even say a few words to me. It's true, after carrying out the mission, you have lost your former coolness and look so stern!" Qin Shili muttered to herself as she looked at Que Dongjin's back.
Que Dongjin came to Li Lexuan's door, knocked and said, "Li Lexuan, open the door, I'm Que Dongjin, I have something urgent to talk to you about."
"It's almost midnight. What's the emergency? I'm already lying in bed." Li Lexuan, who was about to go to sleep, deliberately said that she was lying in bed.
"Get up from the bed, there is a mission!" said Que Dongjin.
"Wait a moment." Li Lexuan smoothed her hair in front of the mirror, looked at the pajamas she was wearing, and then went to open the door.
"What mission do you have to carry out in the middle of the night?" Li Lexuan asked as he opened the door.
"It's the middle of the night? Besides, we are a special operations team, and it is common for us to carry out missions in the middle of the night." Que Dongjin said.
"Let's go now?"
"No, we'll set off after breakfast tomorrow." Que Dongjin looked at Li Xuanli and sat on the stool.
"We're leaving tomorrow, why are you in such a hurry? Won't it be morning tomorrow?"
"I'm informing you in advance so that you can be prepared. There will only be three of us going tomorrow, you and Qin Shili." Que Dongjin said.
"What mission, just the three of us?"
"You'll know when the time comes." Que Dongjin looked at her chest and found that her pajamas were a little thin, and the peaks of her chest were very firm.
"Confidential? It seems the mission is very confidential?" Li Lexuan said.
"This is my style. Usually, when there is a mission, I only inform people what preparations to make, and I will tell them what the mission is when it is almost time. Please don't be surprised." Que Dongjin said.
"I know. It's necessary to increase safety. Tell me, how should I prepare?" Li Lexuan also sat down.
"You just need to bring some small weapons with you. You don't need to wear special clothes, just dress casually. It's best to dress more feminine." Que Dongjin said with a smile.
"What do you mean? Are you going to use the honey trap again?"
"It's hard to say. Maybe we will really need to use the beauty trap at that time." Que Dongjin said with a smile.
"Using beauty tricks is not suitable for me. You know that I should find someone who loves to smile." Li Lexuan said seriously.
"Didn't I find Li Shili? She loves to laugh, is very casual, and is an easy-to-approach woman. But maybe people are not interested in women who love to laugh, and think she is too frivolous and only likes cold beauties? I have to make two plans." Que Dongjin looked at Li Lexuan and smiled.
"You!" Li Lexuan glared at Que Dongjin.
"What's wrong with me? It's necessary for the mission. Do you want to shirk your responsibility?" Que Dongjin teased her.
"Is there anything else to prepare?" Li Lexuan asked.
"there is none left."
"I understand. You can go now." Li Lexuan stood up.
"Oh, there's one more thing." Que Dongjin didn't move.
"what else?"
"Also, if someone wants to kiss you, how will you use your beauty trap? Do you want to rehearse this?" Que Dongjin said with a smile.
"boring!"
"I'm serious. Come, let me kiss you and see how you deal with it." Que Dongjin said as he stood up.
"I deal with it with my fists."
"That won't work. It will cause bad things." Que Dongjin said.
"Then you change someone else."
"I said, what if that person likes cold-faced beauties?"
"If you like a cold-faced woman, you have to be prepared to be beaten. Doesn't he know that?" Li Lexuan said.
"Okay, I don't want to be beaten, you rest. Lixuan, it's a bit cold in the middle of the night, don't forget to cover yourself with a blanket." Que Dongjin looked at her.
"Nonsense. Am I a child?" Li Lexuan said.
"I care about you like this, really."
"No need. Go away and don't disturb my sleep." Li Lexuan still didn't smile.
"Well, I don't know where all your funny cells have gone? Are you going to die if you smile?" Que Dongjin glared at Li Lexuan.
"you!"
"I'm leaving, right away." Que Dongjin smiled and walked into the door.
What a cold beauty! There is coldness in her bones, her bones are like ice! Que Dongjin was still muttering as he walked out of the door.
When Li Lexuan heard Que Dongjin mumbling, she replied in her heart, I don’t know why I am like this. I don’t even know when I developed this habit.
Li Lexuan recalled that she was also very serious when she was a child, and her stepfather often scolded her as a jinx. When she was 14 years old, her stepfather touched her breasts behind her mother's back. She slapped her stepfather hard and ran away.
Li Lexuan remembered that at that time, it seemed as if a small peach had grown on her chest. The peach was getting bigger and harder every day. She felt strange and often played with it when she took a bath.
After Li Lexuan ran away, she had no place to live. She spent two days outside, staying with beggars. When she was about to bite the bullet and go back, someone said that they would find her a job, feed her, and buy her clothes. She believed it. As a result, she went to a military school.
Li Lexuan lay on the bed, thinking for a while, and said to herself, don't think about it, don't think about it, why think about it? Go to sleep! Both my mother and stepfather died at the hands of the Japanese, what else is there to think about? Killing the little Japanese and avenging my mother is the right thing to do. Li Lexuan felt sorry for her mother. She began to follow her father, but her father died of illness when she was seven years old. After remarrying, her mother wanted to take care of her, but her stepfather didn't care about her mother and often quarreled with her mother.
When Que Dongjin returned to his room, Li Yongjun was about to leave Xiao Gao's room. Xiao Gao looked at Li Yongjun and said with a smile: "Thank you for coming to accompany me."
"Don't be polite with me, I'm leaving." Li Yongjun kissed Xiao Gao on the forehead again.
"Yongjun, remember what I said."
"I remember. Thank you."
"Do you remember? Tell me what I asked you to remember?" Xiao Gao looked at Li Yongjun with a smile.
"Be careful when performing the mission and be well. Come visit your friend when you have time." Li Yongjun said with a smile.
"I actually remembered it. There's another sentence: If you have a woman you love, bring her to see me." Xiao Gao said with a smile.
"Remember, I hope you find the Prince Charming you love and who loves you." Li Yongjun said and went out. Xiao Wang's eyes dimmed instantly.
Li Yongjun didn't know that it is very difficult for a woman to get over the love she has for a man. Xiao Gao just didn't want to bother him and wanted him to be happy, but he thought Xiao Gao had really gotten over it.
