Chapter 1425: Official Member

Chapter 1425: Chapter 1425: Official Member

Lin Tian pondered for a few seconds and asked, "Isn’t it a bit excessive to do things like this using my Security Management Institute identity?"

Chen Moxiang nodded directly and said bluntly, "A bit. You need to know that our Security Management Institute is here to maintain national security and handle special events. Although we have privileges, we must maintain absolute equality and respect with the police."

Hearing Chen Moxiang say this, Lin Tian felt somewhat ashamed, and his face flushed slightly, which was rare for him. Thinking back on it now, he did act impulsively, but he didn’t regret it.

"And you’re not even an official member of the Security Management Institute, just an outsider. After this incident, your ID could be confiscated."

"You helped me apply for this ID, and though it hasn’t been much use usually. I’m not concerned if it’s taken away now, I just feel bad for you."

Chen Moxiang said, "Now tell me in detail what happened after you entered the captain’s office."

"Don’t you already know? Otherwise, how could you have come here so quickly?"

Chen Moxiang rolled her eyes and said, "I knew you went to the police station, and I knew you went to the captain’s office. I even know there was a fight there, but I don’t know the details. Speak up, and don’t miss any. It’s important!"

Lin Tian’s heart suddenly warmed. He was sure the reason Chen Moxiang arrived home earlier than he did was that she was worried he might do something outrageous and wanted to help cover for him. Although she didn’t say it, Lin Tian could clearly feel it.

Lin Tian sat up straight and recounted the entire story.

After listening, Chen Moxiang was stunned for a moment, "That’s it?"

"That’s it. What did you think happened?"

"Whew~" Chen Moxiang let out a long breath, relaxing considerably and leaning back into the massage chair. She said, "Then there shouldn’t be anything to worry about."

"Why do you say that?"

"The dagger was snatched from the hands of the Wang Family, so there’s no conflict with the police. The seriousness of the matter is greatly reduced. This is just a personal vendetta between you and the Wang Family; it just happened in a rather unique place. Since you left, I haven’t received any unfavorable news about you. So the ID shouldn’t be confiscated."

Lin Tian chuckled, "They won’t do that, I’m confident. After all, the dagger was given to those two idiots from the Wang Family by the captain. If things blew up, they wouldn’t be able to handle it. And the Wang Family, they’re very concerned about face, they won’t publicize it."

"That’s good." Chen Moxiang laughed.

Soon, Lin Tian caught something in her smile—a trace of relief, a hint of excitement, and more of a sense of narrowly escaping danger.

Lin Tian leaned his head towards her and said, "Wait a minute, you’re definitely hiding something from me."

"Oh? Lin Tian’s insight seems to be sharper than before. Then guess what I’m hiding from you." Chen Moxiang said with a smile.

Seeing her fox-like cunning look, Lin Tian thought for a moment, then slapped his thigh, "I know! You wouldn’t come for no reason; there must be another mission that requires my help, right?"

Chen Moxiang snapped her fingers, "Bingo!"

Lin Tian rubbed his nose and said, "With capabilities as strong as those in your Security Management Institute, do you still need my help with this?"

"Yes. And I know you absolutely won’t refuse this time; you’ll even be more eager than I am." Chen Moxiang said this and then paused, picking up a coffee cup and taking a shallow sip.

"It’s no fun keeping us in suspense at a time like this."

Seeing Lin Tian’s aggrieved expression, Chen Moxiang almost burst out laughing, but remembering the coffee in her mouth, she held back. Instead, she coughed heavily a few times, nearly choking.

Lin Tian quickly patted her back, saying, "Take it slow, why are you drinking so fast?"

Chen Moxiang’s choking was quite severe this time, even forcing tears out of her eyes. But with the help of Lin Tian’s Spiritual Qi, she quickly returned to normal.

After taking a breath, Chen Moxiang said, "Alright, I’ll get straight to it. In a while, we’ll be heading to Senzhou to meet the Wolf Fang Mercenaries."

When Chen Moxiang mentioned going to Senzhou, Lin Tian’s heart already sped up, having a premonition. When she mentioned the Wolf Fang Mercenaries, he gritted his teeth even tighter.

He hadn’t forgotten Ye Feng’s death, nor would he dare forget. It’s time to settle this vendetta!

"When are we leaving?" Lin Tian asked.

Chen Moxiang didn’t answer directly but instead pulled a red document from her bag and placed it in front of Lin Tian.

Lin Tian took it and saw it was a Security Management Institute ID, with a two-inch color photo of himself printed on it, along with his name. Unlike the one he pulled out at the police station, this one had two steel seals and two additional records.

The first record was for the operation to recover national treasures, where 97 items were retrieved, earning a first-class merit!

The second record was for intercepting a virus at the dock, but no merit was recorded for it.

Lin Tian looked up slightly, puzzled, at Chen Moxiang, "What’s this?"

Chen Moxiang extended her right hand towards Lin Tian and smiled, "Congratulations, Comrade Lin Tian, on becoming an official member of the sixth squad of the Security Management Institute."

"..."

Lin Tian was a bit taken aback. Setting aside everything else, just recovering the national treasures was enough to qualify him as an official member. Previously, he was an outsider because he disliked restrictions and had politely declined Chen Moxiang’s offer several times. He didn’t expect she would do this behind his back, turning him into an insider.

This makes his level of freedom truly different from before.

Seeing Lin Tian hesitate to shake her hand, Chen Moxiang said, "I didn’t inform you in advance about becoming an insider; that’s my fault. But for overseas missions, outsiders can’t directly participate with us. You must have an identity for this to do with Ye Feng’s vendetta; I know you won’t refuse. However, rest assured, this is a one-time thing. In the future, our squad’s missions won’t force your participation, and your level of freedom is the highest in the squad."

After pausing, Chen Moxiang added, "Besides, I know you’ve called me several times recently and asked Huaisi about my situation, worried about my safety. But as an outsider, it was impossible to tell you before. Now it’s different. Wherever I go, whatever I do, nothing will be hidden from you. When support is needed, you can even have a chance to play the hero, isn’t that great?"

Lin Tian was speechless for a couple of seconds, then let out a wry smile, "Alright, with the highest level of freedom benefits, I have no reason to refuse."

With that, he extended his right hand and shook Chen Moxiang’s soft but strong hand.
