Dog Head Old Gao jumped off the plane and came before He Zhijun, saying, "Reporting, Captain, the Lone Wolf Commando Team has successfully completed its mission."
"Good, I've already heard about the mission. You all did well."
He Zhijun nodded in satisfaction, looking at Lin Mu. "Especially you, kid. Not only did you successfully rescue the hostage, but you also eliminated twelve mercenaries. I wasn't wrong about you."
"Thank you, Captain. This is a tattoo from the mercenary; it should be their identification," Lin Mu said, standing at attention and saluting.
"Alright, hurry back and rest. The mission report can wait until tomorrow," He Zhijun said, taking the equipment.
"Yes!"
After returning his weapons and equipment and taking a shower, Lin Mu finally returned to his dormitory.
He gently opened the door and saw the typhoon lamp on the table was still lit. He then looked at Ye Youdie, who was leaning against the headboard asleep, feeling a little guilty towards his girlfriend.
He slowly adjusted Ye Youdie into a comfortable position, seeing the tear stains on her face. Perhaps she dreamt of something, murmuring, "Lin Mu, you weren't hurt, were you?"
Lin Mu gently stroked her furrowed brow and whispered, "No injuries, sleep peacefully."
Perhaps hearing Lin Mu's comfort, Ye Youdie's furrowed brow slowly relaxed, and her breathing became steady.
He thought about how he had told her there were no combat missions yesterday, but today he had armed himself and departed right in front of her, causing her to lose sleep. Even in her dreams, she was still worried about his safety... The night passed without incident.
Lin Mu woke up at six in the morning, washed up, and seeing Ye Youdie still asleep, he kissed her on the corner of her mouth before heading out for training.
What Lin Mu didn't see was that as soon as he closed the door, Ye Youdie, lying on the bed, opened her eyes and looked towards the door.
She reached up and touched the corner of her mouth where she had just been kissed, breaking into a smile.
After training in the morning, Lin Mu went to the Captain's office and said to He Zhijun, "Reporting, Captain, this is our Lone Wolf B Team's mission report."
"Hmm, put it here for now. Lin Mu, the identities of that group of mercenaries have been confirmed," He Zhijun said, putting down the mission report and looking at Lin Mu.
"Captain, who are they?" Lin Mu asked.
"The Hell Mercenary Group, mainly active in the Middle East. It's suspected they're related to Minka's brother, Minton. A detailed investigation is underway," Lin Mu read softly after reviewing the intelligence He Zhijun gave him.
"Minton, huh. It seems the elders are coming after the young ones. No matter how many come, they'll all be left behind," Lin Mu sneered.
"Alright, there are no combat missions right now. Go to the X Research Lab and get acquainted with them," He Zhijun said. "Expedite the upgrade of all the unit's systems and firewalls."
"We absolutely cannot let something similar to what happened with your sister happen again. Can you do that?"
"Yes, I guarantee to complete the mission," Lin Mu said, standing at attention and saluting.
He walked out of the command center and drove straight to the X Research Lab.
Screech!
A military vehicle sped up, performing a beautiful drift and stopping at the entrance.
"Ostrich, what are you doing with a lollipop?" As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Ostrich holding a lollipop.
"Team Leader, are you here to see Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law is inside, let's go in together," Ostrich said, putting the lollipop in his pocket after seeing Lin Mu.
Although Ostrich was older than Lin Mu, after several months of getting along, the members of B Team were completely convinced by Lin Mu. When not on a mission, they all called him Boss.
So, when Ostrich said the word "Sister-in-law," it felt very natural, not awkward at all.
Lin Mu saw Ostrich's action of putting something in his pocket, narrowed his eyes, and scrutinized Ostrich, stating confidently, "No one in B Team likes sweets. You must be giving it to some girl."
"Hehe, Team Leader, don't laugh at me when I tell you," Ostrich said, blushing shyly.
"Speak," Lin Mu's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, thinking, "Kid, if you say that name I don't want to hear, you're going to be in trouble."
"It's the one who ate with you and Sister-in-law yesterday, Boss. Why are you hitting me? Is it wrong to pursue love? You're a full man who doesn't know the hunger of an empty one," Ostrich complained, clutching his butt.
"Damn it, you beast! My sister is only 15, and you're already making moves on her? Are you even human?" Lin Mu roared.
"What's wrong? Lin Mu, why are you fighting?" Ye Youdie, hearing the commotion inside, ran out to mediate.
"Xiao Mo is only fifteen, and you're actually making moves on her! I've decided, I'm not teaching you sniping skills anymore!" Lin Mu said, pulling Ye Youdie's small hand and walking inside.
"Boss, don't be like that! Sister-in-law, please put in a good word for me!" Ostrich cried out anxiously upon hearing he wouldn't be taught sniping.
"Ostrich, I can't help you with this. You'll have to rely on yourself," Ye Youdie said, turning back to Ostrich.
"Boss, I was wrong! Listen to my explanation, it's not what you think!" Ostrich shouted loudly from behind.
Lin Mu paid him no mind and continued walking towards the research lab's office area.
"Everyone, stop for a moment. Let me introduce you all to the director of the X Research Lab, Lin Mu," Ye Youdie said, clapping her hands after arriving in the office area.
Ostrich, who was following Lin Mu, and the Medic, who had just appeared in the office area, were stunned, unable to believe their ears.
"Isn't Boss the team leader of Lone Wolf B Team? When did he become the director of this X Research Lab?" Ostrich asked the Medic beside him.
"I don't know either, but based on my deduction, Boss must have acquired this identity on the day we were sworn in," the Medic's eyes sparkled with wisdom.
"You mean that announcement in the warehouse that day?" Ostrich suddenly realized.
"That should be right," the Medic said, resting his chin on his hand.
"What are you two talking about?" Lin Mu turned to Ostrich and the Medic, speaking coldly.
"Nothing, Boss. You speak, I'll listen. I'll shut up," the Medic said, glancing at Ostrich, who was cowering beside him.
"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Mu, and my position has already been introduced by Vice Director Ye," Lin Mu said, glancing at the people in front of him. "Next, I'll talk about our mission."
"The military region has ordered our X Research Lab to expedite the upgrade of the relevant systems and firewalls. Is that clear to everyone?"
"Understood," everyone replied.
"We will conduct a major inspection of all military systems in our military region, starting with Wolf Fang," Lin Mu said.
"As for the rules of Department X, I'll tell you in a few days. For now, begin a comprehensive inspection of Wolf Fang's system." After Lin Mu finished speaking, all the Technicians sat at their desks and began to get busy.
"Brother, I want to work too. Can I use your software?" Xiao Mo came up to Lin Mu and asked.
"Ostrich, you win. Xiao Mo really is Boss's sister," Zhuang Yan and a few others, who had appeared from who-knows-where, said from behind Ostrich
