CHAPTER 243: CHAPTER 140: BANQUET BODYGUARD (PART 2)

"You’ve been lovesick all morning," Xia You teased her, thinking that the problem shouldn’t be too big. Klaao’s hiding skills were strong, and the Roman soldiers had gone to search towards Babylon City. A delay of a few days shouldn’t cause too much trouble.

The bathroom could only fit one person, Xia You came out early and went to brush her teeth and wash her face first. Mo Xixi couldn’t be bothered to turn on the computer and just directly turned on the TV, wanting to see if the major media had reported last night’s "Death Track" concert.

In the morning news, the reporter was enthusiastically announcing that this weekend, Qinyang City Museum would exhibit the original "Hammurabi" law code, on loan from the British Museum.

Mo Xixi wasn’t interested in this at all. Right when she was about to change the channel, a whiff of toothpaste scent drifted by, and Xia You, still holding her toothbrush in her mouth and with another hand, had already taken the remote control. Speaking with toothpaste in her mouth, she made a "ji ji gu gu" sound that made Mo Xixi frown.

"Don’t talk while eating or sleeping, and don’t speak while brushing your teeth," Mo Xixi harshly criticized Xia You.

Flashing back to the bathroom, Xia You didn’t forget to monopolize the remote control. After she came out, "You invited me to the concert, so as a courtesy, I should also invite you back."

"Could it be, you could get tickets to ’Death Track’s’ concert? The next concert is in Shenzhen, which is three hours away by plane," Mo Xixi had never done anything as crazy as chasing stars, yet Xia You had become an even more authentic fan after just one concert.

"Three hours? No need, just driving your mini for twenty minutes is enough, to Qinyang City Museum." Xia You’s facetious expression made Mo Xixi feel a chill running down her neck early in the morning.

"The city museum? What for? I only went there once when I was eleven, organized by my school," Mo Xixi was a super modern type, anything related to museums or antiquity was completely incompatible with her.

"To see the Hammurabi Code, didn’t you see it was just on TV?" Xia You motioned with her mouth, just as the TV switched to the next piece of news.

"..." Mo Xixi was speechless and looked heavenwards.

They had just arrived at the National Security Department when Xia You and Mo Xixi were called into Lin Yi’s office.

"Stop all your current tasks," Lin Yi’s face was not looking great, and it was unclear who had annoyed him early in the morning.

Could it be that the Ren Family’s matters had already come to Lin Yi’s knowledge? Xia You had a curious look, and Mo Xixi also showed concern on her face.

"You are temporarily assigned to the Public Relations Department, responsible for organizing the 22nd birthday party for Brigadier General Ding’s daughter, Ding Ling," Lin Yi had received the order earlier in the morning.

"A birthday party, just us two taking charge?" Mo Xixi expressed strong dissatisfaction. Being a top elite in the National Security Department, now she was being assigned to prepare someone else’s birthday party, that felt like an insult.

"No choice, Ms. Ding doesn’t like to have too much contact with male military personnel, the Armed Department is all men, and the Public Relations Department’s female soldiers are unarmed, impacting the security works at the venue," Lin Yi had also shown displeasure when he first received the order. Lately, the frequency of other departments ordering his subordinates around was too high, clearly disregarding him.

"If it’s just an ordinary birthday party, there shouldn’t be a need for security, right?" Xia You sensed something unusual.

"Her birthday banquet will also feature a special invited guest, a band called ’Death Track’," Lin Yi had heard of this band’s name before but hadn’t taken much interest. Brigadier General Ding’s daughter, Ding Ling, happened to be a fervent fan of this band.

Lieutenant Colonel Lu had also been notified about the security work, Brigadier General Ding Han, dedicated to his daughter, had issued the order early in the morning, already coordinated with several departments.

"Lieutenant Colonel Lu, Major Wu from Public Relations and Major Lin from National Security are all here," suddenly, three major figures appeared in the Armed Department, causing a sensation.

Gossip-hungry Sergeant Yu Xiaonan volunteered to serve tea and water, stepping out of the meeting room, his face full of indignation.

"What’s going on? Heard that our three departments are going to work together," a member of the Armed Department commented.

"Work together my foot, we’re being asked to protect a little celebrity. These days military personnel are treated like worthless trinkets, I absolutely won’t participate in this operation," Yu Xiaonan was so angry that his liver trembled, having traveled around most of Hua Country only to bump into him again, it really felt like wretched luck.

The three big bosses walked out of Lieutenant Colonel Lu’s office, Lu also understood that this mess was caused by Ding Ling, so he spoke very sincerely, "This operation only needs a certain number of personnel from each department to be sufficient."

"That’s correct, I heard Ms. Ding invited quite a few well-known people, and since security was taken away from the police, our military must pay significant attention," Lin Yi was still smiling as he reminded Lieutenant Colonel Lu again that all this started because of his favored "adoptive sister."

After sending off the two, before Yu Xiaonan could speak, Lieutenant Colonel Lu issued the order, which truly didn’t leave any room for maneuver: "Sergeant Yu, you’re in charge of picking a few clever people to participate in this birthday party. Remember, the success of this birthday party will be linked to your year-end military rank evaluation."

Yu Xiaonan was immediately dumbfounded, what kind of situation was this? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
