Chapter 706: Most Likely for the Ancient Martial Clans Auction
Lin Tian returned to his car and immediately called Chen Moxiang.
He initially wanted to talk to Chen Moxiang face-to-face but had no idea where she was at that moment.
"Pick up, please pick up!" Lin Tian silently urged in his heart.
The matter was of great importance, and without Chen Moxiang, it would be quite difficult for him to handle it alone. Although he could call upon Wu Yong and the others, Lin Tian was reluctant to involve them.
Finally, on the third call, Chen Moxiang picked up.
"Hello, what’s up?" Chen Moxiang asked nonchalantly. She had already guessed the purpose of Lin Tian’s call, it was most likely about the ancient martial family auction, as the timing was pressing.
Chen Moxiang was initially out on a mission, but because of the auction, she had passed the task to Team Seven, which freed up her schedule; otherwise, Lin Tian would never have been able to reach her.
"Something’s happened. Where are you now?" Lin Tian asked.
"I’m at the Combat Training Area, why?"
Hearing that something had happened, Chen Moxiang sensed that it wasn’t a simple matter. Lin Tian would not say such things for no reason.
"Combat Training Area?" Lin Tian was taken aback, "What are you doing there?"
"Mission, classified."
The simple four words left Lin Tian unable to further inquire. He originally wanted to meet her in person, but it seemed impossible now. He couldn’t enter the Combat Training Area by himself.
"Here’s the situation..."
Lin Tian relayed everything that Qiao Gaoshan had told him from start to finish.
"Tonight at 4 AM, Hongcai Port, can you confirm this?" Chen Moxiang asked seriously.
"There shouldn’t be any mistake; Qiao Gaoshan has no reason to lie." Lin Tian replied.
Chen Moxiang pondered for a couple of seconds before saying, "Alright, I get it. But I need to take Qiao Gaoshan into control first."
"Sure."
Lin Tian naturally had no objection to this request. With Chen Moxiang in control, his safety would undoubtedly be assured, saving Lin Tian the trouble of having to deal with him underhandedly. Additionally, if needed, he could get updates from Qiao Gaoshan at any time.
"Alright, let’s leave it at that for now. I need to report to my superiors and then start deploying." Chen Moxiang said.
"What about me?"
"What’s up with you?"
Lin Tian rolled his eyes while holding the phone, "I’m participating in the operation too!"
This time, it was Chen Moxiang’s turn to be surprised. Lin Tian was normally someone who avoided trouble, why was he so proactive today?
"Why are you silent? Does this mean I can’t participate in this event?" Lin Tian asked.
"Of course not." Chen Moxiang laughed, "It’s great that you’re willing to join the operation. I’m just curious as to why you suddenly became proactive."
Lin Tian did not explain.
According to Qiao Gaoshan, White Wuchang might show up at the port tonight. Lin Tian wanted to personally capture him and make him experience the life of a vegetative state.
Lin Tian didn’t say this, and Chen Moxiang didn’t press for an explanation. She just said, "Then just come straight to the Combat Training Area, I’ll have someone meet you at the entrance. By the way, what’s your license plate number?"
Lin Tian reported his license plate number and then said, "I’m heading over now, and I’ll bring Qiao Gaoshan with me."
The Combat Training Area where Chen Moxiang was, was naturally Kanyue City’s central Combat Training Area.
When Lin Tian drove up, he could vaguely see the outlines of the Combat Training Area. Though simple, it was awe-inspiring.
As he drove to the entrance, Lin Tian stopped his car.
At the entrance, four soldiers with guns stood tall and upright, like pine trees, commanding Lin Tian’s respect.
If he were an ordinary person, after graduating, he might have gone into the army and become part of this outfit.
Suddenly, a graceful figure appeared in Lin Tian’s sight.
At that moment, Chen Moxiang was dressed in tight camouflage combat fatigues, wearing a canvas military cap, her ponytail swinging as she walked.
When the sun shone on Chen Moxiang, every drop of sweat on her wheat-colored skin glistened brightly.
Chen Moxiang was like a natural clothes hanger. In casual clothes, she looked like the lively girl-next-door, but in the training outfit, she exuded a kind of masculine vitality.
Though clearly female, in this outfit, ’handsome’ was the only word to describe her.
Suddenly, a strange thought popped into Lin Tian’s mind... he couldn’t help but wonder what she’d look like in a bikini or lace set, just the thought was dizzyingly exhilarating!
As Chen Moxiang walked out, the two soldiers on either side raised their hands to the brim of their caps, stood at attention, and saluted her.
Chen Moxiang smiled and nodded at them, then quickened her pace as she walked over.
She went straight to the passenger seat, and just as she opened the door, Lin Tian suddenly saluted and said earnestly, "Hello, Leader!"
Chen Moxiang let out a chuckle, saying proudly, "Don’t call me that. I’m no leader."
As she spoke, she slid into the passenger seat.
At this point, Lin Tian noticed the pine-needle green shoulder boards with a golden stripe and three stars on Chen Moxiang’s shoulder.
"Wow, a Captain," Lin Tian remarked.
Usually, captains are aged between twenty-five to thirty-six. Chen Moxiang being twenty-five was rather young for her rank.
But Chen Moxiang lifted her chin proudly and said, "If I earn another first-class merit, I’ll be promoted to Major."
This statement didn’t surprise Lin Tian.
Even though Chen Moxiang was young, she was the Security Management Institute’s squad leader and had plenty of opportunities for merit. Of course, this also meant high risk.
From Lin Tian’s selfish perspective, he didn’t want Chen Moxiang to go on missions because they were too dangerous. But this strong nation needed someone to defend it.
At this point, Chen Moxiang noticed the two people sitting in the back seat, one middle-aged and one young.
"Who are these two?" Chen Moxiang asked, as this was the Combat Training Area, not just anyone could enter.
"This is Qiao Gaoshan and his son. You asked me to bring them. The old guy reported White Wuchang and his gang. He’s afraid of retaliation, so he brought his son here for shelter." Lin Tian replied.
Chen Moxiang understood and had no objections. Since they were at the Combat Training Area, they wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble.
Qiao Gaoshan nodded and smiled at Chen Moxiang from the back seat in greeting.
