Book 5 Chapter 3 – Reunion

'Are you serious? National Security and they can't even get me a driver's license? What do you mean, 'we'll consider it?'' Li Yiming was still perplexed by their answer when he walked out of Tianshan Airport.

”We should go to the rendezvous point. They're waiting for us.” Liu Ke could tell that Li Yiming was a little unsatisfied, and so he made sure to avoid getting on his bad side.

After heading out of the airport, the car roamed on the empty roads for while until it arrived at an ordinary-looking factory. Liu Ke whispered a few words into his transmitter, and the metal gates at the front entrance opened slowly.

'Finally, something worthy their reputation.' Li Yiming cleared his mind and stared at the entrance, eager to meet the people who were soon going to be his teammates.

”Captain? What the h.e.l.l?” Li Yiming heard a familiar voice. He turned in its direction and froze in place.

It was Eyegla.s.ses. But Li Yiming's reaction was caused by the girl who stood next to him.

She wore beige-colored sportswear, hiding the attractive curves of her lower body, while the zipper of the jacket was forced to a semi-open state by her voluptuous chest. Her long, black hair was tied up and hung from the back of her cap. A beautiful smile appeared on her face when she saw Li Yiming, and she stood there, silently staring at him.

Her eyes watered up as Li Yiming stared back into them, but her smile widened at the same time.

”Liu Meng!” Li Yiming finally snapped out of it. He leaped toward the person he had been wanting to see for so long.

It was a warm, soft embrace that Li Yiming had craved for a long time, and he wrapped his arms as firmly as he could around Liu Meng. He was afraid that all of this was just a dream, especially after all that had happened back in Hangzhou.

”You know each other?” Liu Ke seemed surprised.

”They're a couple.” Eyegla.s.ses smiled. He wore a suit that conferred to him a great change of temperament; it seemed like Eyegla.s.ses had taken a liking for this kind of style after his transformation.

”You know him too?” Liu Ke went up to Eyegla.s.ses and greeted him with a nod.

”Old friends. You guys are quite capable. These two are not easy to convince.” Eyegla.s.ses gave Liu Ke a friendly tap on the shoulder.

”You've just called him captain?”

”Yeah, it's an online game we're playing.” Eyegla.s.ses laughed and rubbed his hands together.

”Pfft! Last time I checked, this isn't a field trip.” A hoa.r.s.e voice was suddenly heard. A man who sat on the ground removed his straw hat and spat out.

Eyegla.s.ses rolled his eyes and ignored the man. He was simply happy at witnessing Li Yiming and Liu Meng's reunion. He did not know about the details, but he could tell that the two had been through their fair share of troubles.

'Are you the one in charge? I'm trusting you with my life here. Please don't tell me that the squad is made of people like them!” The man stood up and accosted Liu Ke.

Li Yiming turned around and almost cast down a lightning bolt when he saw the face of the man who was complaining.

'Are you serious… This guy… The hair in his nose… I can see it so clearly. What's wrong with the military clothes? His pants are too long for him to wear… The small eyes, and big ears and… '

”Every member of the team has been picked carefully. You'll be informed on it later. Follow me.” Liu Ke seemed to dislike the man who complained as well and ignored him completely as he walked toward the interior of the factory.

The hideous man puckered his lips and threw a glance full of contempt at Li Yiming. He dragged his travel bag, which was almost as tall as he was, and followed Liu Ke with unsteady steps.

”Why are you here?” Li Yiming asked Eyegla.s.ses, his hands joining up with Liu Meng's.

”I'm an on-call agent for National Security. You've probably already been informed about the mission, so you know what they need someone who's an expert with electronics and since I'm on a break, I thought that it would be interesting to do. I didn't think that you would come here though, I thought that you two would be happily wandering off. I suppose that you thought of this as paid travel,” Eyegla.s.ses explained with a relaxed smile, completely disregarding the dangers of the mission, which was understandable since he was a veteran guardian.

”Wait, so you're actually an agent?” Li Yiming kneaded Liu Meng's fingers. He would have to wait to ask her questions.

”What? I don't look like one?” Eyegla.s.ses tidied his suit and raised his chin proudly.

”And that guy… is he some kind mythical beast?' Li Yiming ignored Eyegla.s.ses' bragging and turned his attention toward the short man in front of him.
