Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg

Chapter 1348: Chapter 1348: Think Twice

"Jiang Xue, are you serious?" Mr. Lan asked, his face solemn. This was no trivial matter; something this dangerous had to be thought through carefully. He really didn’t want Jiang Xue saying something like this just because she was acting on impulse.

Besides, with something this dangerous, there was no way they could let a girl like Jiang Xue, an ordinary person, take it on. After all, even those who had been through training couldn’t pull it off—so how could Jiang Xue possibly succeed?

"Of course!" Jiang Xue nodded. How could you joke about something like this? And She never joked to begin with.

"I can’t give you an answer on this for now. I have to ask for approval from my superiors."

"I know. So please, go and ask them right away. I’ll wait here." Jiang Xue looked impatient, which only made Mr. Lan even less confident in her.

He looked at Jiang Xue and said, "Jiang Xue, I’ll say it again: you cannot joke about this kind of thing, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Then do you understand how dangerous this is?" Mr. Lan probed cautiously. What he feared most was that Jiang Xue had no idea how serious this was, which was why she made this proposal. If She knew this was the kind of mission you stake your life on, would She still insist?

"Of course I know." Jiang Xue nodded, then opened her mouth and calmly let four words slip out: "A near-certain death."

"Since you know that, why would you still..." Mr. Lan didn’t finish his sentence, but Jiang Xue understood what he meant. She smiled and said, "I want to live a proper life. I don’t want to go on day after day with my heart in my throat."

"Just because of that?" Mr. Lan felt guilty and also a little exasperated. He knew the reason Jiang Xue lived in constant fear was that She’d been dragged into this. But he had already sent people to protect her in secret, and he was now applying to his superiors to assign a female comrade to stay right by Jiang Xue’s side, following her twenty-four hours a day.

"Is that still not enough?" Jiang Xue looked at Mr. Lan and frowned.

"Jiang Xue, if that’s what you’re worried about, then I can tell you now: I’ve already put in a request for someone to protect you at close range. From now on, there will be someone with you around the clock. That way, the other side should at least have some scruples."

"Mr. Lan, I can guarantee my own safety. What I’m worried about is my family’s safety. I know you mean well, and I know the people you send will definitely be very capable. But even a tiger has moments when it nods off—let alone a human being."

"And besides, there are people who spend all day catching thieves, but no one can spend all day just guarding against thieves. I’ll say it again: the problem has to be solved at the root."

"I know what you’re worried about. But have you considered this: the reason your people can’t infiltrate the enemy’s inner circle might actually be because they’re too capable—or rather, because they’ve all had special training and aren’t like me, just an ordinary person?"

After hearing Jiang Xue’s words, Mr. Lan couldn’t help but freeze for a moment. He suddenly realized that what Jiang Xue was saying wasn’t impossible.

The people he sent out had all been trained; they wouldn’t slip up easily. But precisely because of that, the enemy’s suspicions and wariness were only heightened.

Seeing that Mr. Lan had taken her words to heart, Jiang Xue pressed her advantage and said, "So, what your people can’t accomplish—maybe I can."

"Jiang Xue, let me think it over again. And you, you should take a good hard look at this too. Think twice before you act. This is a matter of great importance—you have to be absolutely sure."
