Chapter 1350 - 1369: Rushing Back
Ji Changfeng retracted his sharp gaze and watched with a calm, non-aggressive stare, appreciation for a promising recruit sparkling in his eyes.
"Boss, are you sure you want to choose her?" His subordinate said with uncertainty: "I just investigated, Jiang Nanfei’s background is too complex, plus, she’s Huo Beijiang’s wife. This guy is famously untouchable in all six military regions; even for us from the Special Action Department, it’s best to avoid provoking him."
Good recruits are hard to find. Even though our Special Action Department has significant power and high-ranking positions that make it easy to achieve merit and get promoted, we’re perennially short-staffed, and the casualty rate remains high. The loss of personnel each time brings unbearable heartache.
Every year, they have their pick from students of several famous military academies across the country, yet they rarely find more than a handful worthy of selection.
Especially their boss, whose discerning eyes are so picky it could drive people to despair.
This year, finally having set their sights on one, turned out to be someone they should not provoke.
"Boss, I really advise you not to choose Jiang Nanfei. Although Huo Beijiang isn’t from our system, there are far too many cross-involvements with our personnel. Moreover, the mission on the Sino-Burmese Border the year before last was led by him."
The subordinate glanced at Ji Changfeng worriedly and only continued after noticing he wasn’t upset: "That guy almost blew up an entire hilltop, causing so much trouble." The thought still sends shivers down my spine.
Our Special Action Department is the most clandestine part, responsible only for preliminary investigations, evidence gathering, etc. In later major operations, the most we do is covert coordination or leading. In the face of significant events, it’s inevitable to work together.
Take the recent Kannaya incident, for example; even though our Special Action Department wasn’t directly involved, we know the situation like the back of our hand and have been ready to take part at any moment.
