Jiang Yao waited for Lu Xingzhi to leave before she got dressed and went to the office. She did not know whether Lu Xingzhi would go to training or the office, so she was a little cautious when she passed by the office building. When she reached the chief’s office, she saw him just as he was about to leave.
“Mrs. Lu, what are you doing here?” The man was startled when he saw someone who seemed to be sneaking around. When he realized that it was Lu Xingzhi’s wife, he smiled. “Are you looking for Sergeant Lu?”
“No, Chief, I’m here for you.” Jiang Yao straightened her back and smiled at the man. “I have an extremely important matter to discuss with you, Chief.”
Jiang Yao emphasized the words extremely important. When the chief heard that, he raised his voice slightly and said, “Oh.” Then, he invited Jiang Yao into his office.
When he saw Jiang Yao’s secretive manner, the chief guessed that Lu Xingzhi probably did not know that Jiang Yao was there. She must not have wanted her husband to know about it.
So, after Jiang Yao entered his office, the chief closed the door and poured Jiang Yao a cup of hot water. Then, he said, “The weather is cold. Drink some hot water to warm your body. By the way, why are you looking for me?”
“Chief, I know that Xingzhi will partner with Chen Feitang for his mission. I don’t trust Chen Feitang, and even Lu Xingzhi doesn’t trust her. Furthermore, as Lu Xingzhi’s wife, I object to Chen Feitang partnering with Lu Xingzhi to carry out the mission together.” Jiang Yao took a step forward. “Chief, I won’t beat around the bush. I’m here to tell you that I think I’m the best candidate to work with Lu Xingzhi!”

The chief sipped his tea again. When he heard Jiang Yao’s words, he did not react, and the hot tea scalded his tongue.
However, he could not spit it back into the cup. That would be too unpleasant, so he could only endure it and swallow it. Then, the hot water scalded his throat.
After enduring it for a few seconds, he raised his hand and patted his chest. Then, he pointed at Jiang Yao. “No, Mrs. Lu, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying. You want to replace Chen Feitang as Lu Xingzhi’s partner. I did not hear that wrongly, right? Is that what you mean?”
Jiang Yao nodded solemnly. “Yes, that’s what I meant! Chief, I don’t want to brag, but I don’t think there’s anything I can’t do compared to Chen Feitang. As a partner with Lu Xingzhi, I think that I’m more suitable than anyone else for a mission like this. There’s no need for us to pretend to be a couple in this undercover mission.”
Without waiting for the chief to ask, Jiang Yao immediately said, “Trust. I have that with Lu Xingzhi. We have a tacit understanding. We’re husband and wife. No one has all that better than us.”
“There are things other than trust and tacit understanding in a mission; there are also many other equally important abilities.” The chief rubbed his brows; he had a headache. He knew that Lu Xingzhi and his wife were at odds with Chen Feitang. When he learned that Lu Xingzhi would be partnered with Chen Feitang in the mission, he negotiated with the other person in charge to change Lu Xingzhi’s partner. The other party said they would try to make a new arrangement; they would choose another female soldier for the mission.
The bureau chief thought that the matter was solved then.
However, Lu Xingzhi’s wife had gone to him and announced that she wanted to be Lu Xingzhi’s partner. What had happened? That was the first time the bureau chief had met a family member who had such a request in the duration that he had been in the army.
