Chapter 198: 198 arrives
Actually, for Yuanyuan, Tan Shaoting's proposal wasn't bad, but considering her young age, the future is too uncertain. There's no need to overthink right now.
There are still many uncertainties involved, so there's no point in worrying now.
They were quite bored on the train but didn't dare to get off, fearing they might delay things.
Finally, they arrived at the scheduled city, and the two got off the train.
"Let's just go straight over. It's better to know what we're here for sooner."
Tan Shaoting carried their luggage. This was essential for being outside.
They asked many people before finally finding the agreed-upon place.
This time it was Zhang Chunsheng on this side.
"Comrade, is there anything you need us to do?" Yuanyuan felt that the way the man looked at them was quite intimidating.
"Haha, don't be nervous. There is indeed something for you to do. If this mission succeeds, you can leave the farm and join us. Of course, you can also choose the job you like, and I will arrange everything for you."
This made Yuanyuan even more shocked. Such tempting conditions meant the task here was more difficult.
This time, Tan Shaoting stepped forward, "Mr. Zhang, we don't know what you need us to do, but even without these conditions, if it's within our capability, we definitely won't refuse. It's our responsibility."
Yuanyuan thought Tan Shaoting's words sounded quite noble.
"It's to go abroad and rescue our two comrades."
Both were stunned. Shouldn't they be unneeded for this? Rescue? Them?
"You can only infiltrate. Honestly, based on your performance last year, the higher-ups are very confident.
The meeting decided that they would like you two to give it a try.
These two people are not ours but people who have been very helpful to us. If it's really us who go, it will cause a lot of trouble."
"Mr. Zhang, I can go by myself. She's still young, and I'm afraid it will be dangerous for her."
Yuanyuan was stunned, not expecting Tan Shaoting to say that. Was it to protect her?
"We thought about this, but still feel it's better for you two to go together. We have great confidence in Comrade Yuanyuan, thinking your cooperation has a higher chance of success."
Yuanyuan tugged at Tan Shaoting's clothes, "We'll go together." Knowing they could no longer refuse, she wondered why they were chosen. Honestly, many others are more capable, and they were still young.
But since they were chosen, they wouldn't refuse. Even if they failed, they wouldn't lose their lives.
Honestly, Yuanyuan was slightly excited. She hadn't been to that country.
"Here is the information on the two people. They are essentially being controlled. You need to check if they want to come over. If they do, find a way to bring them back. If they don't, just leave it."
Tan Shaoting took it and began reading.
Zhang Chunsheng smiled at Yuanyuan, "Xiao Su, this time, it's actually not that dangerous. I specifically found someone who knows the language there for you."
Zhang Chunsheng thought the two were too smart. The year before last, they learned the language in less than ten days and did quite well.
Moreover, Huwenzheng gave them high praise.
This is also why they were sent. There are many talented people here, but not many can quickly learn the language there.
Besides, we can't send our own people because the leadership suspects those people and wants an outsider to test them.
Yuanyuan nodded, "Mr. Zhang, it's not as simple as you say, right? I hope you tell me everything."
Zhang Chunsheng laughed. "Actually, the leadership doesn't trust those two people."
Yuanyuan had no more doubts.
"If it is as the leadership suspects, what should we do?"
"Then there's nothing to do. Just come back safely."
By now, Tan Shaoting had finished reading. He handed it to Yuanyuan.
These two people were running trade between two countries. But because they tipped off this side, which prevented losses, and helped with supplies twice, they gained attention.
Yuanyuan memorized their names and current addresses, then gave the information back to Zhang Chunsheng.
"Later, someone will take you to study. It's just a regular residence. You'll depart in ten days."
Tan Shaoting nodded. Learning the language there is necessary, but they can't show too much this time.
"We'll also prepare local currency for you."
This reassured Yuanyuan, who was wondering how to get money there.
After knowing the task, they felt different. Tan Shaoting genuinely worried about Yuanyuan's safety.
But Yuanyuan was indifferent, thinking that if worse comes to worse, she could hide Tan Shaoting in the space. Since sheep sleep in the space, people should too.
So she wasn't worried about their safety, even a bit excited. She planned to collect more Jade, as it couldn't be a wasted trip.
There were many types of Jade here, and with their Divine Sense, finding good rough stones wouldn't be a problem.
A girl approached them, and from her appearance, it was clear she was a local.
The girl spoke with a local accent and spoke Mandarin quite slowly, probably not very familiar with it.
They followed the girl and left.
Zhang Chunsheng watched their backs, feeling uncomfortable. He was quite concerned about them, but since the decision was made, there was no other path.
They followed the girl to a residence.
The enthusiastic girl introduced them along the way. After all, it was two languages, as Yuanyuan requested. A few days of learning wasn't enough here. So she wanted to learn more since their language seemed too verbose to Yuanyuan.
"For these few days, I'll be living with you."
At this time, Tan Shaoting didn't say a word. His intention was that since he had expressed wanting to be with Yuanyuan, he wouldn't engage with other women.
They examined the accommodations and were quite satisfied.
Tan Shaoting directly moved their luggage into one room.
Yuanyuan noticed the girl discreetly glanced at her several times. Tan Shaoting was surely ruining her reputation.
