Chapter 480 (2-in-1)_2
The plane slowly landed, and General Yan sent Shen Mochen off the plane.
"By the way, Captain Shen, you can copy my enhanced superpower, can't you? Did you do it just now?" asked General Yan.
"Actually... not yet." Shen Mochen looked at her face, originally sleek and suave, now blushing slightly, feeling a stir within.
"Well, if you don't mind, please come here." General Yan tilted her head back slightly, closed her eyes gently, and slightly parted her lips, allowing him to gather.
Shen Mochen adjusted her slightly slipping thin-framed glasses, gently pecked her, and while copying her superpower, he gave her another "Purification" and an enhancement.
...
After seeing off Shen Mochen, General Yan boarded the plane again, and the plane took off slowly.
"It's not fair, you kissed twice, and I only kissed once!" Ran Linlin complained.
"Indeed, a real charmer."
General Yan ignored her, murmuring to herself. The shyness on her face suddenly changed, and the elite woman's demeanor returned to her face.
After kissing Shen Mochen, she sneaked a peek at him and saw a reaction.
"Right, as the saying goes, 'though old, Pang Juan can still eat... oh, no, it should be, the older the ginger, the spicier...'"
Ran Linlin's teasing remark was cut off by a deadly glare from General Yan.
"Cough, it's good to have flaws, I'm afraid when he has none." General Yan looked down at the data of the 0819 members.
According to her intelligence, Shen Mochen had at least had intimate relationships with Xia Qingrou and Han Muxue... and also had ambiguous relationships with Cai Yuncui and the previously departed Xiao Xingshuang.
Huh, indeed a young and charming man.
General Yan had already reviewed all the data about Shen Mochen's life up to his teenage years, considering him a person of deep emotions and loyalty.
People of deep emotions and loyalty are the easiest to control; you don't harm him, and he won't harm you.
"Lucky indeed, team 0819... probably has the prettiest girls in all of Buque."
General Yan looked over the same data again, marveling at the strangeness of fate.
It seemed like the hand of God was manipulating all this, letting these girls meet Shen Mochen.
Of course, if there really were a God, she wouldn't dislike such an arrangement. If it weren't for these girls, it would probably be hard to capture Shen Mochen's heart.
General Yan took a deep breath: "I'll hand over all the work today, from tomorrow on, all your tasks will be suspended... You will have only one task, to stay outside of the 0819 node and protect Shen Mochen 24 hours a day, not letting even a hair on his head be harmed!"
"Is it that kind of close protection?" asked Ran Linlin, both shocked and delighted.
"You can't stick too close; he might notice you. I don't want him to feel that we are surveilling him, just stay in the sentinel station outside 0819, and if there's any danger, your speed will allow you to rescue him instantly!"
"Cut... isn't that just sheer drudgery? You're banishing me to the frontier!"
"Just endure it for now, I'll credit you for your service later. If you can complete this mission, I can definitely get you promoted!"
"I don't need merits... I only have one request!"
"What request?"
"If there is any plan to execute a seduction operation on Shen Mochen, I must be the first to volunteer!" Ran Linlin clenched her fist, her voice resolute, "I really need a man!"
"Phew..." General Yan took a deep breath, "If you want a man, I can introduce you to one."
Ran Linlin recalled observing Shen Mochen changing clothes in the shadows, and couldn't help but swallow, "No no no, I meant men as handsome and imposing as Shen Mochen!"
"Imposing?"
General Yan slightly furrowed her brow. Shen Mochen's appearance was indeed beautiful, matchless in heaven and earth... but how was he fit for the word imposing?
"If he likes you, that's certainly possible, even if you could have children with him, I could even apply for a special commendation for you."
"Alright, alright! I will complete the task assigned by the organization!"
General Yan helplessly held her forehead, "Ah, you're still so young and all you think about is men."
Ran Linlin coughed lightly, "Or are you like you, at your age, still a virgin?"
General Yan's eyes twitched slightly, and veins popped on her forehead, "I think, for women, a career is the most important."
Actually, she wasn't truly disinterested in men, she had just wasted her own time... When she was young, she felt invincible and looked down on all men, believing none were worthy of her intelligence and beauty.
As she got older and retired from the front lines, the men others introduced to her were progressively worse... although she understood this was normal.
But whenever she thought about settling for these men, she felt it would betray her previous resolve, so she refused them all... As she got older, she gave up on the idea of finding a man and threw herself into her work.
Yeah, what man is as important as work, what female strongwoman fusses over personal relationships all day!
"That's not contradictory, focusing on a career while finding a man... Many people do."
"I really don't care about these things!"
"Well, I do care, and I don't want to end up lonely like you, you're already thirty..."
Ran Linlin couldn't finish mentioning General Yan's age because before she could, General Yan had grabbed her mouth.
General Yan's eyes filled with murderous intent, "Do you believe I could throw you out right now?"
Ran Linlin nodded hastily, indicating she would stop being mischievous.
Being thrown out of the helicopter wasn't really an issue, since she could fly.
But she wasn't sure she could defeat General Yan, whose prowess from the old days she had heard of, no less formidable than Yin Caiyu.
"Hmph," General Yan snorted and let her go, "I suggest you don't think too much. If you really want to find a man, marry someone honest. Shen Mochen may not be a bad person, but his philandering ways mean he can't offer you status... and you wouldn't be able to compete with Xia Qingrou and the others."
Ran Linlin stretched lazily, "Who needs status, really... I'd rather be Shen Mochen's third or fourth affair than some other man's wife!"
General Yan was speechless and after confirming she was serious, commented, "There's something wrong with your values."
"At least I'm better than a virgin like you! I've just kissed a man, have you ever even stuck out your tongue?"
General Yan closed her eyes in resignation, no longer wanting to deal with her.
"Besides... what if Shen Mochen actually took a fancy to you? You're a bit older, sure, but you still have your charm, maybe he likes mature women? Could you resist then? Don't act all high and mighty now and then fight with me for a spot later!"
Ran Linlin kept chattering next to General Yan's ear.
General Yan, impatient, entered an Extraordinary State and jumped from the plane to fly beside it.
...
"I'm really sorry, big sister, that you came all this way and we didn't entertain you much, even exposing you to danger."
At the airport, Shen Mochen and Xia Qingrou saw Xia Xuexu off together.
Originally, Xia Qingrou wanted Xia Xuexu to stay another day, at least to show her around Yu Huai City, but the latter declined, stating she needed to return to the capital today as she had already bought her ticket.
Remembering that her borrowed time with Shen Mochen from Han Muxue only lasted until today, Xia Qingrou didn't hold her back.
Shen Mochen, the good boyfriend till the end, even bought some local specialties from Yu Huai for Xia Xuexu...
"It's okay, it's okay, your work is very hard... but it's indeed very meaningful!" Xia Xuexu smiled and waved her hand at Shen Mochen.
Then she hugged Xia Qingrou, "Don't worry, I'll talk to the family, you're grown up, you should decide your own life now."
Xia Qingrou nodded, moved, finally gaining her elder sister's approval.
"Oh, there's one more thing..." Xia Xuexu looked at Shen Mochen with a complex expression and spoke softly to Xia Qingrou.
