Yang Meng and Bai Luo Yin were in the midst of a joyful chat when a police officer who was about a head taller than Yang Meng, walked over and stopped right in front of them. Without warning, he threw down a pile of documents with a rather nonchalant attitude, "This is the weekly report. Take it to the sub-bureau as soon as possible."

Much to his chagrin, Yang Meng could only take the documents and sighed. His face was quickly written with annoyance and resentment as he narrowed his eyes to glare at the other office for a second, "Seriously?! I can't even chat in peace for one day!"

"I'll take you there, my car is parked outside."

"Great!" Yang Meng said rather cheerfully as his hand landed on Bai Luo Yin's shoulder, "I can finally experience what it feels like to ride in a military car today."

On the road, Yang Meng asked, "Yin Zi, do you know how to fly all kinds of aircrafts?"

Bai Luo Yin remained silent for a while before he replied in an unenthusiastic tone, "Pretty much."

"Then, why didn't you fly a helicopter here?"

"We only fly it during emergency operations so normally it's not necessary. Besides, you can't just land it wherever you want. When you look at it like that, it's not as convenient as driving!"

Listening to the stern and forceful tone in Bai Luo Yin's voice, Yang Meng stared at him with envious, "Yin Zi, you're so handsome."

Bai Luo Yin snorted with a laugh, "If you're able to meet all the required conditions now, you can enlist in the military and join the Air Force squadron with the goal of becoming a pilot, are you willing to?"

Yang Meng firmly shook his head without hesitation, "I don't want to."

"There you have it! Honestly, I'm actually quite envious of your easy and comfortable working environment. Every day, you just need to do your shift, patrol the streets and write up some reports. And, if an urgent mission occasionally springs out, the issue can be easily resolved by sending out a few men."

"I wish. How can it be as easy or relaxing as you've said?" Yang Meng bluffed before his expression changed, "However, compared to your job, mine's indeed considered a bit more easy and comfortable."

Bai Luo Yin remained silent.

Glancing over, Yang Meng asked again, "Yin Zi, it's extremely tough in the military, isn't it?"

"It's not as tough or life threatening as you make it sound. It's okay....it was a bit unbearable in the beginning, but now I don't feel anything."

"Even now, I still don't understand why you suddenly enlisted back then. But, thinking about it, being selected as a candidate for the Air Force isn't easy. The average person doesn't even have a chance no matter how hard they try. For people like you who has connections within the military, if you perform well, it will be even easier to get promoted. You have a promising future ahead of you! Brother, keep striving! The latter half of my life is depending on you."

While chatting along the way, the two finally arrived at the sub-bureau. Bai Luo Yin neatly parked the car then followed Yang Meng into the Public Security Bureau building.

"Walk this way." Yang Meng said to Bai Luo Yin whose eyes were wandering around.

Just as Bai Luo Yin was about to turn the corner, his footsteps suddenly came to a standstill while his body frozen in shock by a pair of silhouette just a short distance away. He did not blink even once as his foot became rigid and cemented at the same spot.
