Section 1

The ancient city, which possesses both the charm of a water town and the appearance of a mountain city, is not the first time Feng Jinxiao has visited. He still remembers the year when someone pointed to the observation window at the top of the inn room and asked him: "What if it rains? Will it leak?" At that time, her expression was truly foolish.

Standing not far away, Lu Chengyuan could not help but mutter to himself upon hearing this: They are learning from each other, just like a little rabbit confronting a lion. Is this human nature? Boss, your casual humility leaves others in an awkward position.

A journey of silence

The police car approached in this tranquil silence, slowing down to stop at the entrance of the ancient city prison. The door of the front vehicle opened, and four law enforcement officers, clad in plain black, disembarked with their weapons drawn, standing in a tactical formation, highly alert.

The roar of the engine sounded, and soon, the police car vanished into the mist

Feng Jinxiao's expression was calm: "There is an opportunity for mutual learning"

... ...

As the plane landed, Feng Jinxiao glanced at him and said, "Can't you control your emotions?"

Feng Jinxiao expressed gratitude: "There is no need to trouble Director Chen."

Having completed the check-in procedures, Feng Jinxiao and Lu Chengyuan passed through security and headed to the waiting hall. The two strikingly handsome men, exuding a powerful presence, walked side by side, drawing the attention of those around them. With his hands in his pockets, Lu Chengyuan walked forward, considering himself charming and dashing, while proudly stating: "Women these days are truly not reserved at all"

I would not be unaware of Feng Jinxiao, who was personally appointed by the highest leadership of the Ministry of Public Security to assemble an elite police force

Chen Wen then smiled and said, "Alright, see you next time"

Captain Xiao, seated in the front passenger seat, did not notice anything unusual and was still on the phone with his superior. It was not until the high-end sedan that successfully overtook them was increasingly distanced from the police car that his call ended. He turned around and said, "Team Leader Feng, take a break; we will arrive at the airport in half an hour."

Feng Jinxiao withdrew his gaze towards the back seat, his palm covering his eyelashes, and let out a barely audible sigh

The surroundings returned to silence, and the young prison guard beside Chen Wen finally remembered to inquire about the origin of "Team Leader Feng"

After a few seconds of silence, Feng Jinxiao's gaze swept over him as he walked silently towards the prison gate, his steps firm and powerful

Feng Jinxiao seemed to have been struck at a sensitive spot, and he immediately retaliated with a punch, so fast that Lu Chengyuan had not yet realized his inhuman movement before his side was solidly hit.

... ...

Approaching the airport, Feng Jinxiao instructed to park the car, bid farewell to Captain Xiao, and walked a distance with Lu Chengyuan to the terminal.

Ah, ah? What are we communicating about? The young prison guard was momentarily taken aback, only later did he realize that the officer in charge of the escort mission, Captain Feng, was the legendary Feng Jinxiao, after he had gone through a rigorous and brutal selection process to become one of Feng's subordinates. After the initial shock came regret, as he deeply lamented not having obtained an autograph from his idol

Lu Chengyuan maintained his smile, "I am not accustomed to placing myself in a state of emotional desolation, making it seem like you, who appears to be heartbroken every day."

Chen Wen received prior notice and understood that they would not be staying in the ancient city. With a tone of regret, he said: "I had intended to ask Team Leader Feng to provide some guidance to our comrades, but I didn't expect that we would have to leave so soon. It is truly a pity"

Are you implying this? Lu Chengyuan has a fiery temper, and there are indeed numerous records of him resorting to violence against prisoners while carrying out his duties. Consequently, the number of times he has been "dealt with" by Feng Jinxiao cannot be calculated based on his mathematical skills. Therefore, when Feng Jinxiao previously cast him a casual glance, he automatically interpreted it as a warning, and now he clearly feels a bit regretful: "I didn't grasp it, what a pity"

The person staggered a step to open the car door, and Feng Jinxiao, who followed closely behind to get out of the car, slightly raised his gaze, feeling a familiar sense of oppression wash over him. Lu Chengyuan almost immediately explained: "This kid has been unruly the whole way."

After catching up on some sleep on the road, Lu Chengyuan's spirits were restored. As he walked, he explained his earlier reprimand of the prisoner: "That kid was fixated on the handcuffs the entire way. If it weren't for my sharp gaze that intimidated him, there's no telling what other actions he might have taken."

The calm face revealed no trace of emotion, and Feng Jinxiao's deep voice sounded particularly clear and powerful in the quiet early morning. "Director Chen, you are too polite." As he finished speaking, he extended his hand to shake hands with Chen Wen.

In response to him, with a calm and composed demeanor, he teased: "There is more than enough to go around."

The little prison guard, unwilling to accept it, said: "Such an official response suggests that you don't know either, right?"

Feng Jinxiao said no more, nodded to Chen Wen to bid farewell, and then got into the previous vehicle with Lu Chengyuan. Team Leader Xiao switched from the original lead vehicle to the passenger seat of their car, while the remaining officers quickly secured their firearms and moved to the front vehicle

Not only him, but Chen Wen also felt humiliated upon hearing Feng Jinxiao's words. Although it was their first meeting, Chen Wen was somewhat aware of Feng Jinxiao's capabilities and conduct. Especially when the higher-ups made a phone call to assign the task, they specifically instructed: "Team Leader Feng was invited from G City by the Provincial Department and is the overall commander of this anti-crime operation. Be polite and do not neglect him."

The plane took off on time, flying from the ancient city to City G, with an airborne flight time of three hours and forty minutes. As the plane entered the cruising phase, the flight attendants served breakfast to the passengers. Feng Jinxiao closed his eyes to rest and did not partake in the meal. Lu Chengyuan, on the other hand, enjoyed the attentive service of the flight attendants with a clear conscience, seizing the opportunity to engage in light conversation. With just a few words, he not only made the flight attendant smile brightly but also obtained the beautiful lady's phone number. It was undoubtedly a pleasant journey.

Feng Jinxiao nodded, but merely adjusted the coat draped over Lu Chengyuan's shoulders, his gaze sweeping past the rapidly retreating scenery outside the window

Standing face to face, Chen Wen first saluted, then extended both hands: "Captain Feng, you have worked hard." The tone was sincere and respectful

Since they are together again, it at least proves that the promises and determination made in their youth have triumphed over time and separation. Feng Jinxiao has reason to believe that Xiao Yuhang, like him, holds on to this relationship with persistence and hope

Chen Wen took off his hat and touched his excessively sparse hair on his forehead: "Do not ask what should not be asked"

Warden Chen Wen hurriedly approached, his gaze simultaneously assessing the approaching young man

He is not being honest, so you should take care of it. With a slight raise of his well-defined brows, Feng Jinxiao calmly uttered four words: "What is there to be polite about"

Subsequently, the door of the rear vehicle opened, and the first to disembark was Lu Chengyuan, who possessed a martial artist's agility. Following him was a robust man wearing a black hood, and Lu Chengyuan's left hand was handcuffed to the man's right hand.

Feng Jinxiao spoke in a calm tone: "The tacit understanding is a bit lacking"

Feng Jinxiao said casually, "Exactly what you were hoping for"

After Lu Chengyuan came to a stop, he noticed that the other person's movements were slow and seemed impatient. He exerted force to pull him slightly and spoke harshly: "Move faster!"

At this moment, Captain Xiao of the K City SWAT team interjected, "I will send Team Leader Feng over."

The handover procedures were completed quickly, and the prisoner was taken away by the prison authorities. The escort mission was successfully accomplished, and the officers of the K City SWAT team breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Lu Chengyuan, his tall figure leaned against the vehicle, and he was casually moving his wrists with a calm expression. It was as if the person he had been handcuffed to earlier was not a repeat offender; at this moment, he seemed merely aggrieved for having his wrists restrained for a few hours. As for "Captain Feng," who had hardly spoken along the way, he maintained a solemn demeanor, still showing no extraneous expressions.

The superior leaders are all so humble, yet Chen Wen feels the need to use his self-proclaimed clever mind to weigh the situation. Now, this god-like figure actually speaks to him without changing his expression: "Mutual learning? Learning how to refresh the limits of self-esteem?" Feng, if you spoke less indirectly, what would happen? Chen Wen is in inner turmoil, but on the surface, he remains composed: "How about you take a break first, Feng? I will take you to the airport later."

In the early hours of the morning, the ancient city was still shrouded in the darkness of night. The cold streetlights cast a dim yellow light, faintly illuminating the mottled pavement, as if they were whispering ancient and distant tales.

Lu Chengyuan stroked his chin with a wicked smile: "Am I really that depraved?"

Feng Jinxiao sported a short crew cut, his well-defined face exuding an air of tranquility amidst his handsome features. His dark, bright eyes held a sharp gaze. On this early summer morning, there was a slight chill in the air, yet he wore only a black T-shirt that subtly revealed his toned physique. He paired it with combat pants of the same color and military boots, and donned half-finger tactical gloves on his hands. His upright posture and tall figure created a fluid silhouette in the morning light

Originally, the mission in City K was completed, and he was supposed to return directly to City G. How did he suddenly decide to come here?

Chen Wen subtly reminded, "Don't you have a special police brother who is eager to participate in the selection of new members for the special operations team in City G? You might want to have a chat with him when you have the time"

On the highway to the airport, a police car with good and stable performance swerved momentarily; although it was not obvious, the highly skilled driver quickly corrected it. This still caused Feng Jinxiao, who was resting with his eyes closed in the back seat, to alertly open his eyes, his gaze filled with inner brilliance.

Regarding the foolish state of his subordinates, Chen Wen, filled with disappointment, remarked "What a disgrace" before walking away with his hands behind his back

However, that is a highly confidential police force, and only the upper echelons within the public security system are aware of its "details"; the understanding from the outside world is, as one can imagine, limited. Chen Wen's slight awareness is merely due to the fact that this police force has the privilege to recruit members nationwide. As for any other substantial information, he has nothing more to boast about.
