As soon as the dinner party ended, Lin Yue hurriedly asked her assistant Yu to book a flight to Beijing.

"Tell all the department managers that I’ll be away on a business trip for a few days."

Yu: "President, how many days will you be gone specifically?"

Lin Yue, who was packing clothes at home, paused before responding, "I’m not sure yet, I’ll let you know when I return."

"Okay."

After Yu immediately booked the flight ticket, she sent Lin Yue a screenshot of the itinerary.

Lin Yue didn’t call Gu Feng directly but first called her mother-in-law, Yu Ling.

"Mom, I’m on tonight’s flight. Where is our house located?"

The other side was overjoyed, "Really? That’s great, should I ask Feng to pick you up?"

Lin Yue: "Mom, don’t tell him yet. I want to surprise him. Just give me the address and I’ll take a taxi there once I’m in Beijing."

Yu Ling: "Our address can’t be navigated to, but that’s alright, mom will arrange for someone else to pick you up."

In Dragon Nation, places like military districts and sensitive units have satellite navigation jamming, so what Yu Ling said was accurate.

Only local Jingbei people might know how to get to the compound nearby; outsiders would not be able to find it through navigation.

"Thank you, Mom." Lin Yue happily hung up the phone and went out to buy a few coats for her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Deep autumn was giving way to winter, and the weather in Beijing had also turned cold.

Especially since it was her first meeting with her father-in-law, Lin Yue felt incredibly nervous and regarded it with great importance.

According to her uncle Gu Yuan, her father-in-law definitely wouldn’t lack people offering him expensive items on usual days.

So as a daughter-in-law, she still felt it was better to give something practical and heartfelt.

On the other side.

After receiving Lin Yue’s call, the whole person of Yu Ling was joyful and went to the front yard to tell Gu Dadong, "Your daughter-in-law is on tonight’s flight."

Gu Dadong was having tea in the courtyard, and when he heard the news, he turned his head, "Then Feng will probably come home too, right?"

"If we hold his wife in the house, he will definitely come." Yu Ling said with a smile.

Gu Feng had been back in Beijing for 2 days, but he hadn’t returned home.

He was probably still feeling awkward with his father, Gu Dadong, and didn’t want to face him.

Yu Ling reminded her husband, "You’d better rein in your temper. It’s been three years since you and your son have seen each other or spoken. Whether he comes home this time depends on your daughter-in-law."

Gu Dadong gave a wry smile: "Don’t worry, I’m no longer the same hothead I was back in the military. If we continue like this, Dad won’t have much time left." After saying so, joy returned to his face: "When exactly will our daughter-in-law arrive?"

Yu Ling checked the itinerary on WeChat, "She lands at 9 tonight, I’ll pick her up."

Gu Dadong: "Okay, then I won’t go to the troops tonight and will stay at home for a couple more days."

Seeing him busy with official duties lately, Yu Ling asked curiously, "Are you planning something recently?"

Gu Dadong poured himself another cup of tea, nodded with a sigh, "According to incomplete statistics, there are 47,000 Dragon Nation citizen-owned corporations overseas, and the number of citizens working overseas has reached 1.7 million. Due to the global situation being particularly tense in recent years, the property and personal safety of these overseas citizens from Dragon Nation are at risk. We’ve been worried and meeting recently to find a solution."

"There are also the ongoing conflicts in several countries and the pervasive issues like East Asian telecom fraud syndicates, which make it difficult for us to carry out targeted deployments effectively. The decision of the Elders Council is to set up a PMC (Private Military Company)!"

"It’s the current trend!"

The practice of military contractors is no longer a secret globally.

Like Blackwater from the USA.

And Hairy Bear Nation also has cooperative contractors.

In the recent conflict between Hairy Bear and Nuclear Bomb Country, you would find contractors from all over the world participating, but in reality, Europa is supporting these contractors behind the scenes as they join forces against Hairy Bear!

Employing war contractors for minor battles has the advantage that you cannot officially and with evidence accuse a nation of interfering with the rights and politics of another!

Because any issue or crime can be shifted onto the independently operated PMC company.

In such a universally unscrupulous trend, Dragon Nation is also considering whether to seek such a contractor as an urgent priority.

For instance, when our ally Hairy Bear is besieged, it would allow Dragon Nation’s contractors to enter the battlefield for support!

Not just in war, but also regarding issues like East Asian telecom fraud, PMC companies could actually be employed to eradicate it! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Gu Dadong continued, "We have been contacting the people of the Dragon Descendants Consortium overseas recently, hoping they could help us get in touch with Longteng Security Group for a potential collaboration."

Yu Ling nodded, "I’ve heard about this Longteng Security Group. Our country’s overseas organizations hire their security teams through introductions from the ’Dragon Descendants Consortium’ for self-protection."

Gu Dadong: "Right, the global security contractor market has an annual revenue reaching 240 billion US Dollars, and this Longteng Group, with its excellent mercenary teams, has secured at least 20% market share, rising to one of the top ten globally!"

Yu Ling frowned, "Can’t we set up our own? Why look for an external one?"

Gu Dadong let out a wry laugh, "It’s not that easy. Just protecting the property of nearly 50,000 overseas Dragon Nation corporations around the world requires a large number of extra personnel. And we no longer have the time to slowly build and train our own. Reaching an agreement with the head of Longteng mercenaries is the best solution!"

He looked at his wife, "And the most important point, all the active security teams of this company are our country’s former soldiers who have served and retired."
