Chapter 1723 - 1742: What Are You Laughing At?
Ji Changfeng held back his laughter, looking at the two girls in front of him.
He Shasha was very upset at his laughter and snapped, "What are you laughing at?"
"I’m laughing at you for worrying for no reason." Ji Changfeng rubbed his nose and then explained, "Jiang Nanfei doesn’t need any sympathy or pity! If you’re going to care, you might as well care about someone else. Like Zhou Xiang, who just broke her arm?"
"What nonsense are you talking? I’d wish for Zhou Xiang to be even more unlucky." He Shasha shot Ji Changfeng a glare, instinctively feeling he’s not a good person. Leaning towards Nan Fei, she whispered, "Nan Fei, who is this guy? Why is he always staring at you?"
"Special Action Department."
"What?" He Shasha widened her eyes in shock, exclaiming, "Special Action Department? Is that for real?"
"It’s true! You’ve heard of this department too?"
He Shasha looked at Ji Changfeng warily, thinking it was really unexpected this guy was from the Special Action Department. "I’ve heard about it, also from some special admissions students." Regular military students wouldn’t know about this department, only the old hands knew a bit.
It’s said the Special Action Department specializes in handling issues that the military can’t easily manage, especially intelligence and counter-espionage secret operations. It belongs to the military but only accepts orders from the highest commander. Other departments absolutely have no right to interfere.
Their capability and authority are comparable to National Security.
Rumor has it the predecessor of this department was a famous intelligence organization during the resistance war, extremely mysterious, with countless achievements.
He Shasha repeated what she knew to Nan Fei, listening to which made Nan Fei raise her brows in surprise. She knew about the Special Action Department long ago but didn’t know about this history. Founded over fifty years ago...
Nan Fei suddenly paused, founded over fifty years ago? She seemed to have overlooked something?
"I say, don’t you two find talking about this right in front of me a bit inappropriate?"
He Shasha put on a shameless expression, "No! I find it quite appropriate."
Ji Changfeng: "..." How come he didn’t find Jiang Nanfei’s sidekick so amusing before?
"I see it’s about time for a meal, why don’t I treat you all, let’s find a place to eat and chat while we’re at it." Ji Changfeng glanced at the time and suggested, "You don’t have to be so guarded around me, after all, I’m a respectable soldier, my character is guaranteed."
"This is the first time I’ve heard someone praise themselves like this." He Shasha muttered, then asked Nan Fei, "What do you think? Should we go for a meal?"
"Let’s go! Let’s go to the Royal Mansion!" Since Ji Changfeng has ulterior motives, she won’t just shy away! That wouldn’t resolve anything, and the Special Action Department is so formidable, if they really want to do something, hiding isn’t an option.
Rather than always avoiding, it’s better to face it head-on.
Ji Changfeng was speechless, "You two really are shamelessly straightforward, my monthly salary isn’t even enough for a meal at the Royal Mansion!"
He Shasha playfully said, "So are you treating us or not? If you can’t afford it, we can treat you instead."
"Alright, alright, I’ll treat, can’t I treat? Seriously, dining with wealthy folks is really unaffordable, can’t compare! It’s making me want to dive into business myself." He knew Jiang Nanfei’s skills, not to mention co-owning a company and holding shares as a designer. Her works, heard they’re selling at sky-high prices now.
Now that she’s blind, the prices of her works are likely to soar even higher.
As for He Shasha, her background might be ordinary, but her family truly has money.
