On the fourth floor of the Guard Department in Satellite City No. 2, Lu Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Chen Jing's answer.
He had genuinely been worried that Chen Jing would refuse outright. If that happened, he really would have had no idea what to do.
After all, the family meeting had already reached a decision and settled on a plan to leave the city together for this mission. If his superior rejected the application at the last moment, it would feel as if he had boasted in front of his family, only to be slapped in the face.
That would affect the rare warm and friendly atmosphere in the family.
It might even make his family feel that he wasn't trusted at work, or that he had been treated unfairly...
...The consequences would be terrifying!
With the heavy weight in his heart finally gone, Lu Xin felt somewhat happy.
In truth, the bounty Chen Jing had mentioned had not been the main reason for his decision.
Aside from believing that those people deserved to pay the price, he had other concerns about applying for this assignment.
For example, Satellite City No. 2 had suffered such heavy losses this time, and most of the deaths had occurred around the old textile factory in the south of the city. Teacher Lu and the children from Crimson Moon Orphanage had once lived in that area. Lu Xin couldn't imagine what would have happened if Chen Jing hadn't been cautious back then and made the decision in advance to move the orphanage near the Guard Department, while assigning people specifically to protect it...
...What would the result have been?
But since Chen Jing had already agreed, there was no need to bring any of that
