Bring her back to take a look?
Yes, Xiaofan wants Shen Zuimo to visit the place where the two once lived, hoping that there, she might recall the moments from when they were together.
Xiaofan is fed up with seeing Shen Zuimo unable to come out of the shadows; she could live her life in another way.
However, for Shen Zuimo, an assassin cannot possibly have a happy ending. Never will.
"I won't go, it's unnecessary."
Shen Zuimo's refusal was within Xiaofan's expectations. She doesn't want to actively engage with those memories, and indeed, she chooses to forget them.
It's as if that part of her life never existed, that memory doesn't belong to her.
With Shen Zuimo's refusal, returning to H City was no longer possible. After having dinner, everyone greeted the people at the command center and headed back to Yanhuang Soul.
Along the way, Shen Zuimo remained silent. Until they got off the plane, she didn't say another word, though she barely spoke when they came.
After getting off the plane, Shen Zuimo walked straight back to her dormitory, her mind completely disturbed.
This action by Xiaofan and others indeed gave Fan Lingtian a headache for a while. Killing outside the border, people from other countries would surely hold them accountable, questioning Huaxia for an explanation.
The evidence recorded by Li Kuo was enough to shut the other side up. Moreover, if accountability were pursued, this so-called other country couldn't escape responsibility. Why did they allow these mercenaries to wander freely on this nation's soil? Could it be that the group of mercenaries sent was actually tacitly approved by them?
This very doubt silenced certain countries, because they indeed knew, and they even benefitted from it. After all, Old Man Liu and other criminals had interests in various countries, so they turned a blind eye to the presence of mercenaries.
As for how other countries dealt with it, Fan Lingtian also had a tacit understanding. Since they allowed mercenaries to enter, they could just clear them out again.
Regarding the battle that occurred at the border, after a week of negotiations, both parties reached a consensus. Huaxia sternly warned the other side that if similar incidents happened again, they would surely pursue full accountability next time.
After dealing with Old Man Liu's base, a large batch of related criminals were also targeted. The smuggling routes were cut off significantly.
Of course, these matters weren't what Xiaofan and the others were concerned about. For them, what exactly did this combat operation bring them?
"One strike must kill, hold that aura, don't loosen up. At the moment of action, you must control the opponent's form without the slightest deviation."
Indeed, during this week, Xiaofan was studying the essentials of assassination with Li San and others. After this experience, everyone seemed to have gained a profound understanding. Of course, this everyone didn't include Li Kuo, as his skills were not yet presentable. His advantage was in electronic control. Sometimes, killing isn't just about personal strength.
During this week, Xiaofan asked Fan Lingtian to send Li Kuo to Yanhuang Soul's intelligence department for learning... As soon as Li Kuo arrived there, he became a teacher. His wild operation style in the technical domain left the intelligence personnel stunned, each coming to consult about these issues.
And entering the information network of Yanhuang Soul meant more opportunities to learn about the Red Butterfly.
Yes, the Red Butterfly. Xiaofan and Li Kuo never forgot their initial purpose. Joining the Yanhuang Soul's training was to better deal with the Red Butterfly's assassins.
"Grandpa Fan, does Old Man Liu's case this time have anything to do with the Red Butterfly?"
A week later, after Fan Lingtian returned from his trip, Xiaofan directly came to his office.
"Hmm? This has nothing to do with the Red Butterfly; they wouldn't make such a big fuss." Fan Lingtian replied calmly.
"Grandpa Fan, if there's anything in the future, let us handle it first. Also, transfer a few people from the numbers recorded on the mountain last time to me, so I can mentor them."
Xiaofan's proposal made Fan Lingtian's eyes light up. He looked at Xiaofan in confusion and asked, "What happened? Changed your mind?"
"I have my reasons."
"Hmm, your thoughts have always been unique. Here are your medals for this operation; take them back and distribute them. I've agreed to your proposal."
"What's the use of this thing?" Xiaofan glanced at the first-class service medal, seemingly uninterested.
"This was directly issued by the state. You are now recorded as formal members of Yanhuang Soul. Besides these medals, you will each receive a special-class warrior medal and a D-class warrior medal."
"What's this about?" Xiaofan asked, confused.
"The D-class medal is to disguise your appearances. You can wear it when entering or leaving places, while the special-class medal is rare in Yanhuang Soul. If shown, even local special police must listen to your instructions." Fan Lingtian continued.
"Is it really okay to give us such authority?" Xiaofan asked quietly.
"Do you know why I'm giving you such authority?" Fan Lingtian countered.
Upon hearing this, Xiaofan remained silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Also, there's one more thing I want to task you with."
"Please go ahead."
"Regarding the incident in the medical department last time, I noticed that you've almost mastered your grandfather's techniques. Therefore, I hope you will select some clever young people from the medical department and teach them these skills." Fan Lingtian had been planning this for a long time. Many years ago, Ye Aotian gained the recognition of all Yanhuang Soul warriors with just a few needles. Now, since Xiaofan can save so many critically injured in such a short time, those skills should indeed be taught well.
"I'm afraid I won't have the time and energy to teach them all." Xiaofan wasn't refusing, but genuinely worried about the constraints of his schedule.
"It won't take much of your time. You only need to teach them the methods of stopping bleeding." Fan Lingtian was very insistent on this matter.
"Alright..."
'Knock, knock, knock.' Just as Xiaofan was about to discuss the necessary steps, a knocking sound suddenly came.
"Come in."
With Fan Lingtian's permission, Shen Zuimo gently pushed the door open. She was a bit surprised to see Xiaofan by the side, but still stepped in slowly.
