Shen Lang lay on the bed, Gu Qinghan beside him. He felt a peace and happiness he had never known.
Looking at Gu Qinghan, who was already asleep, Shen Lang smiled and gently kissed her forehead.
Because of Gu Qinghan, he finally felt a sense of home. He would never feel alone again in this life.
And Gu Qinghan's magnanimity allowed him to take good care of Yu Xiao, without having to part ways.
Shen Lang didn't know if he would have other women in this life, but Gu Qinghan would forever be his only wife. No one could change that.
The next morning, Shen Lang woke up. Gu Qinghan was still fast asleep, while Yu Xiao and Yu Fei had already gone to school after preparing breakfast.
Shen Lang warmed the white porridge in the microwave before calling Gu Qinghan to wake up. When Gu Qinghan got up and saw the breakfast spread on the table, a happy smile appeared on her face.
This was the life Gu Qinghan wanted: to be with Shen Lang, even if it was ordinary.
"After breakfast, I'll go to work at the Martial Guard Agency. You'll accompany me. Old Song wants you to report in the morning."
At the dining table, Gu Qinghan ate heartily but didn't forget to remind Shen Lang.
"Okay—"
Shen Lang heard this, smiled, and said, "I wonder if Uncle will arrange for me and you to be in the same office. If so, we could have an office romance."
"Dream on, Old Song wouldn't do that."
Gu Qinghan looked at Shen Lang and laughed, "Your uncle, that is, our Director Song, although he jokes with us usually, he changes completely when it comes to matters of principle. He won't let me and you be in the same office."
"With your martial arts cultivation, intelligence, and powerful medical skills, Old Song wouldn't dare waste such talent in an office. You'll most likely be assigned to the Special Operations Team."
"Assign me to the Special Operations Team?"
Shen Lang smiled, "I'm on the same level as Qin Long now. Assigning me to the Special Operations Team, would that mean I'd be Qin Long's deputy?"
"That depends on Old Song's decision, but it's highly likely. After all, your strength is sufficient for that position."
Looking at Shen Lang, Gu Qinghan's brows were filled with tenderness, and her eyes were full of affection. She said, "The you now is the you I hoped for. It's so real. It would be even better if you also moonlighted as a famous doctor."
"If you like, I'll find a hospital to work part-time another day."
Shen Lang looked at Gu Qinghan, who was about to become his wife, and said gently.
"Husband, thank you. I'm so happy to have met you."
Gu Qinghan gently stood on tiptoe and kissed Shen Lang's cheek deeply.
After breakfast, Shen Lang drove Gu Qinghan out. Half an hour later, they arrived at the Martial Guard Agency.
As Shen Lang and Gu Qinghan entered the Martial Guard Agency's courtyard, they found Song Shadao waiting with his men.
Qin Long, Xiong Zi, Long Zi, and more than forty members of the Special Operations Team stood with solemn expressions, as if welcoming Shen Lang.
Qin Long and the others were all injured, yet they stood there resolutely.
"Brother Shen, welcome to the Special Operations Team."
Seeing Shen Lang arrive, Qin Long led the shout, followed by more than forty members of the Special Operations Team shouting, "Welcome to the Special Operations Team."
"Join the Special Operations Team?"
Shen Lang hadn't expected the outcome to be as Gu Qinghan had predicted, and he was momentarily stunned.
"Shen Lang, you've joined the Martial Guard Agency. After discussions with several deputy directors and myself, we have unanimously decided to have you join the Special Operations Team, with Qin Long as the leader and you as the deputy leader."
Song Shadao heard this and smiled, "The Special Operations Team is the sword of the Martial Guard Agency. With your addition, this sword will become even sharper. Are you willing to join?"
"Haha, what are you saying? If Brother Qin and the brothers are willing to accept me, I would be greatly honored."
Shen Lang cupped his fists and said.
"Brother Shen, you are too polite. In fact, with your strength, you could even be the leader. In all important matters, I will listen to you. I believe you will not be wrong."
Qin Long sighed and said, "Last time we went to Yang Country to capture He Yaodong, we were betrayed by the traitor Yamamoto Nijyu-go, which resulted in the deaths of more than a dozen of our brothers and sisters. It was only thanks to your phone call that we were able to get reinforcements and escape."
"This is a disgrace, a great humiliation. Brother Shen, I hope you can lead us to wash away this shame and bring back that scumbag He Yaodong."
"Don't worry, I definitely will."
Shen Lang glanced at the heavily injured Qin Long and Xiong Zi and said, "You guys should focus on recovering from your injuries first. Once you've healed, I'll go with you to Yang Country again. This time, we will definitely bring He Yaodong back to justice."
"Thank you—"
Hearing Shen Lang say this, Qin Long and the others were overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Deputy Leader Shen."
Thus, Shen Lang went from being an ordinary person to the Deputy Leader of the Martial Guard Agency's Special Operations Team. The change in identity was so rapid that even Shen Lang found it a bit hard to adapt.
After a brief greeting with Qin Long and the others, and identifying the members of the Special Operations Team, Shen Lang took Gu Qinghan to the Criminal Investigation Department office and then followed Song Shadao to the Director's office.
"Shen Lang, make yourself comfortable."
Song Shadao's office had no computer, no air conditioning, and not even any electrical appliances. There was only a desk, a chair, and a sofa.
On Song Shadao's desk, there was a fountain pen and a notebook, clean and neat, but this was Song Shadao's style.
Song Shadao sat in his office chair and smiled at Shen Lang, "Many people like to drink tea in their offices, but I don't. The Martial Guard Agency has a pantry where you can drink tea if you wish. But in the office, I like it to be clean and tidy."
"I arranged for you to join the Special Operations Team out of selfishness. Qin Long is good, but his individual ability is slightly inferior. If you were there, that situation wouldn't have happened in Yang Country last time. Therefore, I hope you will assist Qin Long well and bring back He Yaodong as soon as possible."
"Uncle, don't worry. That's something I promised Qinghan. I will definitely do it."
Shen Lang sat opposite Song Shadao, his posture very relaxed, and said, "He Yaodong, I've heard of this person many years ago. The outside world portrays him like a god, but I will bring him back to Nanling for trial sooner or later."
"Good, my nephew indeed. You have ambition."
Song Shadao praised Shen Lang without reservation, but then changed the subject, "Before you go to Yang Country, you still have to help me deal with one matter."
"Qin Bian Que was exposed by you to me. But after entering the Martial Guard Agency, no matter how much he was interrogated, he claimed to be a spy, infiltrating the Shadao Society to destroy this wicked organization. He even specifically asked to see you."
"Wants to see me?"
Shen Lang found this interesting. "Does he want to curse me out in person?"
"No, he says you can prove his innocence."
Song Shadao's words were astonishing.
