Lin Tian sat in the passenger seat, letting Chen Moxiang drive the car.

At this moment, Qiao Gaoshan and his son still couldn’t leave the Combat Training Area. After all, they were insiders. To ensure the safety of the operation, they could only leave after it was completed.

Qiao Gaoshan was happy to stay there. On the Celestial Dragon Continent, was there a safer place than this?

Lin Tian adjusted the seats to a slanted position, lying back comfortably with his feet up front. He even whistled apologetically in the end.

Chen Moxiang gave him a sideways glance and said casually, "Hey, why do you still seem just as unreliable as before?"

"You don’t understand. I’m enjoying a beautiful moment," Lin Tian said with a squinting smile.

"We’re taking action tonight, what’s there to enjoy?" Chen Moxiang really couldn’t comprehend the workings of his mind.

"That’s for tonight. Right now, I have a beautiful driver, and just looking at her makes me feel better. Besides..."

Truth be told, hearing Lin Tian praise her this way, Chen Moxiang felt quite pleased. What woman doesn’t like being called beautiful? Just waiting for him to continue, this jerk stopped talking.

"Besides what?" Chen Moxiang pretended not to care and asked.

"Besides..." Lin Tian took a deep breath and then mischievously said, "that scent hasn’t changed, just like before, a bit like the scent of flowers."

Chen Moxiang wasn’t new to compliments, but such brazen flattery was a bit too much, causing her face to blush a little.

Even though she was secretly happy, she stubbornly said, "Why do I feel like you’re such a pervert? I was just sweating terribly, how could it smell good?"

"You just don’t get it, do you? Ever heard of the term ’fragrant sweat’? If you don’t believe me, smell it yourself."

Chen Moxiang actually lowered her head and sniffed her shoulder, "There’s no smell at all! I find you’ve become quite the flirt now, shameless."

Lin Tian’s grin widened, "I smell nice, too. Want to take a sniff?"

Upon hearing this, the redness on Chen Moxiang’s face faded. She chuckled coldly, "You’re lying right next to me, you keep teasing me. Believe it or not, I could ruin your most prized possession with just a stretch of my hand?"

Lin Tian immediately turned to his side, giving ’Little Lin’ a sense of security before reluctantly shouting, "You’re the real rogue!"

"What’s so rogue about that? What haven’t I seen? It’s just a... prized possession."

"You’re talking like you’ve seen a lot of them?"

"Say another word, and I’ll cut yours off!"

Lin Tian wisely shut his mouth. Although he wasn’t scared, continuing this conversation could only turn against him.

With Lin Tian silent, Chen Moxiang fell quiet, too. After a few seconds, Lin Tian lay sprawled out, whistling softly while he sneaked a glance at Mr. Chen’s ample chest, causing him to swallow dryly. Below, ’Little Lin’ stood at attention against orders.

Chen Moxiang was no ordinary person! The captain of the sixth squad of the Special Action Unit at the Security Management Institute!

You could say she was among the elite of the elite on the Celestial Dragon Continent, with training that was absolutely rigorous.

Could Lin Tian’s small antics really fool her?

The answer was no!

No one knows where Chen Moxiang pulled out a 20 cm long knife. Without looking, she swung it once.

Don’t underestimate her knife skills, she didn’t even glance, and the tip of the knife was already in the little hole at the head of Lin Tian’s zipper. With another swipe, the knife tip hooked the zipper, pulling it open directly.

She finished with a beautiful flick of the wrist, returning the knife to its sheath.

"Holy shit!"

Lin Tian sprang up straight like a spring.

Chen Moxiang’s hand movement was so fast that he hadn’t even had time to react.

"Are you crazy!" he roared.

Chen Moxiang smiled nonchalantly, "This is just a punishment. Keep your eyes to yourself, and that will stop ’Little Lin’ from acting up. Otherwise, I really will cut it."

"What if you didn’t look and stabbed in the wrong place just now?!"

"No chance. I’m confident in my knife skills. Even if I don’t look, I could slice you evenly; a single millimeter off, and I’d lose."

"..."

Seeing Lin Tian lying angrily with eyes closed, Chen Moxiang found it amusing.

In reality, she was no match for Lin Tian, as she learned during their first encounter. Lin Tian was simply holding back.

Lying back again, Lin Tian suddenly asked, "Back in the Combat Training Area, how could that leader directly order you? Your Security Management Institute isn’t under their jurisdiction, is it?"

Chen Moxiang casually replied, "Holding two jobs at once is nothing unusual, right?"

"No way... such a high-ranking official has two roles?" Lin Tian’s mouth fell open in surprise.

"What’s strange about that? Haven’t you heard, ’with great power comes great responsibility’? The Security Management Institute is an independent agency, but it inevitably works with the Combat Training Area and the police. To reduce friction, the police also have someone holding two roles for smoother cooperation."

Hearing Chen Moxiang’s explanation, Lin Tian finally understood.

Thus, grievances between the two departments would be greatly reduced, making interactions more streamlined.

"Don’t be fooled by Mr. Xiang’s friendly demeanor or his office worker’s role; he once was a battle-hardened general. Many in our Security Management Institute were trained under him," Chen Moxiang said.

This was something Lin Tian hadn’t anticipated. It made sense, though; for someone to hold such prominent dual positions, they needed an iron-fisted approach to command respect.

The car went onto the overpass, weaving through a complex network, before Chen Moxiang finally parked adjacent to a high-rise building’s outdoor parking lot.

Leading Lin Tian into the building, they reached a room on the third floor.

From the outside, the room’s door seemed ordinary, yet it required Chen Moxiang to align her eye with a peephole, unlocking it with an iris scan.

Upon entry, it appeared to be just a simple three-bedroom apartment.

Subsequently, Chen Moxiang opened a bedroom door and went inside.

Following Lin Tian’s entry, the room seemed ordinary, housing a large, soft bed.

Lin Tian’s mouth fell open in confusion, "Why did you bring me here? You’re not planning something unspeakable, are you?"

"What a mind you have!" Chen Moxiang rolled her eyes, reaching to the bedside lamp. The lamp didn’t light up, but the wardrobe shifted sideways, revealing a hidden room.

Ignoring Lin Tian’s curious expression, Chen Moxiang stepped into the secret room, with Lin Tian close at her heels. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Inside were a fingerprint scanner, an iris scanner, and a code lock.

After unlocking all three, the entire secret room trembled and began descending!
