I awakened to be a menace at the start of the game, and my parents sent me to the cherry blossom vie

10,000 meters above the ground, in the stratosphere.

A heavy transport plane painted with special camouflage, like a silent steel behemoth, sped through the clouds.

Inside the cabin, the air pressure was low.

Several special agents sat upright, their eyes occasionally glancing at the figure sitting at the far end of the cabin.

He was a middle-aged man.

He had a buzz cut, a square face, wore a faded old training uniform, and a pair of cloth shoes with thick soles.

He looked rustic and unsophisticated, like an old farmer who had just finished working in the fields.

But as soon as he sat there, the air around him seemed to freeze. The invisible pressure made these seasoned special operations elites not even dare to breathe.

Because of the mission, they learned some information about this person.

Based on the information available, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this person is the pillar of the Chinese military.

After all, this was a legendary figure who single-handedly stormed the west coast of the United States twenty years ago.

"Buzz—Buzz—"

Just then, a sudden and piercing cell phone vibration broke the deathly silence in the cabin.

All the special agents tensed up and instinctively gripped their weapons tighter.

The man, who had been resting with his eyes closed like a towering mountain, suddenly opened his eyes.

There was no murderous intent or majesty in those eyes.

Only... terror?

Yes, terror.

Lin Jianguo frantically pulled an old Nokia phone from his pocket. Looking at the words "My Dear Wife" flashing on the screen, a fine layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his posture, and his face instantly filled with a fawning smile.

Their change of expression was faster than turning the pages of a book.

"Feed? Wife! Hehe, it's me, it's me."

Her voice was so gentle it could melt your heart, a stark contrast to the imposing, stern figure she had just been.

The special agents next to them twitched their eyes and turned their heads away, pretending to admire the scenery.

This scene is absolutely mind-blowing.

Instead of a gentle voice on the other end of the phone, there was a roar that could pierce your eardrums:

"Lin Jianguo! Where have you been, you old bastard?!"

"How many days has it been?! You haven't washed the clothes, mopped the floor, or taken out the trash! Do you want to die?!"

Lin Jianguo moved his phone further away, a forced smile on his face:

"Oh, honey, calm down, calm down. I'm just... I'm just on a business trip."

"Business trip? What kind of business trip? Are you going to save the world or maintain universal peace?"

"No, no, no, how could that be?"

Lin Jianguo wiped his sweat and started making things up.

"There's an urgent matter at work, so they asked me to come to Beijing for a meeting, and also... to inspect the work."

"Beijing?" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded suspicious.

"Yes, yes, right in the capital!"

Lin Jianguo made a solemn vow.

"As you know, my former superiors are all in Beijing. They always invite me to dinner whenever we meet, and I can't refuse their hospitality."

"real?"

"More real than real gold! I swear!"

Lin Jianguo patted his chest,

"Don't worry, honey, I'll definitely bring you a gift when I get back! A freshly roasted Peking duck from Quanjude, and I'll also buy you... donkey rolls!"

Don't give me that!

Although his tone was still fierce, his anger had clearly subsided considerably.

"That brat Lin Fan isn't home right now, and you're never home either. Let me tell you, if you dare lie to me, I'll break your legs when you get back!"

"Yes, yes, definitely!"

Lin Jianguo bowed and scraped, showing absolutely no dignity befitting a powerful figure.

After signing a bunch of unequal treaties and finally managing to appease this shrew, Lin Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the phone.

"call--"

He slumped into his chair, wiping the sweat from his forehead, feeling even more exhausted than when he fought his way in and out of the United States seven times back then.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen someone who's afraid of their wife?"

When Lin Jianguo looked up, he found several special agents staring at him with strange expressions. He immediately glared at them, and his fierce aura returned instantly.

"No...no!"

Everyone quickly lowered their heads, trembling with fear.

……

at the same time.

Huaguo, Jianghai City, Jingxiu Residential Area.

Unit 3, Room 402

Li Xiulan, wearing a floral apron and holding the disconnected phone, stood in the center of the living room.

The room, which was originally full of life, now seemed unusually deserted.

The anger on her face had vanished, replaced by an inscrutable calm.

Those eyes, which usually only focused on calculating every penny when vegetable prices rose, now gleamed with a chilling glint.

"Old man, you still dare to lie to me."

Li Xiulan sneered and casually tossed her phone onto the sofa.

"The capital? Ha, you really think I don't know what you're up to?"

She walked to the window, looked at the peaceful street outside, and her eyes gradually sharpened.

"The youngest isn't home, and the eldest is causing all the trouble..."

"And that little brat Lin Fan, he usually seems so honest, but he turns out so wild once he steps out... Japan is gone, and now he's causing trouble in the US..."

"Do you really think that's the land of cherry blossoms?"

As the saying goes, a mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles.

Even if she knows her son won't die, how can a mother not worry?

Moreover, that little rascal never came back after he went out, which made her miss him a bit.

She turned and walked to the bookshelf, reaching out to pull out an inconspicuous book titled "Home-Style Recipes".

The book was turned to reveal that it was empty.

An old-fashioned black satellite phone lay quietly inside.

This phone has no brand, no model number, and even the buttons are worn so badly they're unreadable.

She skillfully picked up the phone and dialed a number that had no contact information.

"Beep—beep—"

After two beeps, the call was connected.

No one spoke; only the faint sound of breathing could be heard.

"it's me."

Li Xiulan's voice became low and hoarse, exuding an unquestionable authority.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a voice filled with shock and awe:

"Big...Big Sister?! You...you called me personally?"

If the dark tycoons of the underworld heard this title, they would probably wet their pants in fear.

After all, the owner of this voice is the "King of the Night," who controls the world's largest intelligence network. Even heads of state from various countries usually give him some face.

But now, in front of Li Xiulan, he is as obedient as a primary school student.

"Enough with the nonsense," Li Xiulan said calmly. "Arrange a route to the United States for me, the sooner the better."

"Go to the United States?"

The other side was clearly stunned.

"Boss, things are really chaotic over there right now."

That jinx named Lin Fan has turned that place upside down, and... I heard the 'Eastern Tyrannosaurus' went there too. You're going now...?"

"What? Do I need to report to you where I go?"

Li Xiulan's tone turned cold.

"I wouldn't dare! Absolutely not!"

The person on the other end was so frightened their voice changed.

"I'll arrange it right away!"

However, boss, the situation over there is complicated right now. Should I call upon the 'Heavenly Punishment' team to accompany you?

Or should we send those S-class assassins from Shadow to clear the way for you?

"Need not."

Li Xiulan refused decisively.

She took off her apron, tossed it aside, and walked to the mirror to tidy her slightly messy hair.

The middle-aged woman in the mirror, who usually fussed over trivial matters, was gone.

Instead, she became a queen with sharp eyes and an imposing aura.

"Those few good-for-nothings would just be throwing their lives away; don't let them cause me any trouble."

Li Xiulan looked at herself in the mirror and a cold smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

Regarding security issues...

"If I'm in danger, then there aren't many people in this world who would survive."

"Since you're keeping it from my mother, wouldn't it make me seem like an outsider if I didn't go and join in the fun?"

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

……

Let's return our gaze to the sky, 10,000 meters above the ground.

The C-17 transport plane has begun its descent, passing through thick clouds, with an endless expanse of deep blue sea below.

In the distance, a winding coastline is already faintly visible.

That's the west coast defense line of the United States.

"Mr. Lin."

The cockpit door opened, and a pilot strode out, saluted Lin Jianguo, and looked solemn.

"The US Air Defense Identification Zone is 200 kilometers ahead, and their radar has already locked onto us."

According to the agreement, we cannot fly any further; otherwise, it will be considered a declaration of war.

Lin Jianguo nodded, stood up, and stretched his stiff neck.

A series of cracking and popping sounds echoed in the cabin.

"Okay, that's enough."

He walked to the cabin door and glanced down through the porthole.

The wind howled and the clouds and mist swirled.

At this height, even an ordinary person would feel weak in the knees just by looking at it.

"Open the door," Lin Jianguo said calmly.

"yes!"

The special agents immediately took to the control panel.

"laugh--"

With the sound of hydraulic rods turning, the massive stern hatch slowly opened.

Instantly, a violent gust of air rushed into the cabin like countless sharp blades, causing everyone's clothes to flutter loudly.

A special agent, carrying a huge umbrella, braved the strong wind and struggled to reach Lin Jianguo's side.

Mr. Lin!

This is a specially designed high-altitude parachute pack, equipped with an automatic parachute deployment system and an oxygen mask. You…”

however,

Lin Jianguo did not respond to him, but instead began to straighten his collar and tighten his cloth shoes as if afraid they would fall off.

The two accompanying special agents looked puzzled.

Then, before they could react, Lin Jianguo walked to the cabin door, and to their astonishment, stepped out...

Whoosh!

The person is gone!

"Holy crap?!"

It was only then that the special agent holding the parachute realized what was happening.

He and his companion exchanged a glance, both seeing the fear and blankness in each other's eyes.

The two men, their faces filled with terror, scrambled to the hatch and peered down.

All that could be seen was within sight.

A small black dot is falling rapidly, with no sign of its parachute opening.

Did that man just jump straight down?

Eight thousand meters!

That's eight thousand meters!

Even if someone is made of iron, they'd be smashed into a pancake if they fell down, right?

"He...didn't bring a parachute?"

The special agent holding the parachute swallowed hard, his voice trembling.

His companion nodded stiffly, staring at the empty parachute strap in his hand, and muttered to himself:

"It seems...so!"

"What do you mean, 'seems like'? He just didn't memorize it!"

The special agents plopped down on the floor, looking utterly devastated.

"Oh no, oh no, if it goes this high, will we even survive?"

The wind was still howling.

But the two people inside the cabin had only one thought in their minds at that moment:

Finished!

If this gets reported, they'll definitely be punished!
