"Ah yo..."

Gecko was startled by Chen Jing's voice. He turned around hurriedly and his eyes suddenly lit up.

As a user with Spider-type ability, both his eyesight and hearing ability are far superior to ordinary people. He actually didn't notice the approach of Chen Jing. Firstly, it was because he was frightened by Lu Xin. The second reason was that the door was not closed and the floor was covered with thick carpet. At this time, Chen Jing had changed into a black tight-fitting armed uniform and a pair of boots that were convenient for movement and almost eliminated all sounds.

The first time Leng Buding saw the leader, he was naturally panicked, but at the second glance, Gecko forgot to panic.

His eyes suddenly straightened.

This was the first time he saw Chen Jing wearing clothes other than military uniforms and women's suits, especially this kind of tight-fitting armed uniform.

"Hello, team leader."

Lu Xin was also stunned for a moment, hurriedly put down the tea cup and stood up, saying hello to Chen Jing.

Chen Jing nodded and motioned for Lu Xin to sit down. He also took another chair and sat on it, and then said expressionlessly:

"If you don't want to blind your eyes with your own hands, just close your eyes."

"..."

Gecko on the side was stunned for a while, turned around hurriedly, and stared directly at the mirror opposite.

Chen Jing decided to ignore him for the time being, looked at Lu Xin seriously, his eyes became gentler, and said, "Have you considered it?"

"Yes."

Lu Xin said calmly, "I'm just going to visit relatives. It's something that has been decided a long time ago. Doesn't it count as a violation?"

Chen Jing looked at Lu Xin quietly, as if thinking seriously.

Qinggang didn't know much about Lu Xin's visit to relatives because she didn't see the "003" document Lu Xin brought back.

But Professor Bai had determined that Crimson Moon Orphanage in Qinggang was related to the original research "Escaped Laboratory", so when she came to Central City and determined the relationship between Black Table and the "Escaped Laboratory", she felt very happy.

She already vaguely understood what Lu Xin's "relative visit" was.

But in the end, it was determined through the helicopter, Lu Xin's expression when he saw Chen Xun's information.

Of course, it's one thing to be sure, and another to prepare in advance.

Although, she only had half a day to prepare.

"It doesn't count."

Chen Jing smiled and said to Lu Xin, "We are just special operations personnel to deal with special pollution. We are no different from repairmen who are responsible for repairing large machinery and experts who control water and land pollution. When we are working, we say work, and when we are on vacation, we say vacation. Now that you are on vacation and are ready to visit relatives, then of course this is your personal freedom..."

Lu Xin was immediately moved. This leader was so considerate.

"But..."

Chen Jing paused and then said, "If the person you are going to find really has the same goal as Central City, then you will most likely have some unnecessary conflicts with their action team. At that time, what are you going to do?"

"This..."

Lu Xin really showed a distressed expression on his face. "I really haven't thought about it. I'll talk about it then..."

"Central City's ability user should be quite reasonable, right?"

"I think the team leader named Xia Chong is quite nice!"

"..."

Chen Jing was noncommittal, smiled, and said, "It seems that you are not good at handling this kind of thing, so I will go with you."

"Ah this..."

Lu Xin is still somewhat mentally unprepared and seems a little cramped.

Chen Jing saw his thoughts, and his voice became gentler, saying, "Since we are all colleagues, and we were sent here to help you solve the Forbidden Experiment incident you encountered on the road. Now, the task of facing the laboratory has been taken over by Central City, so protecting you as a witness is our most important job, and we will accompany you to meet your relatives..."

"Any questions?"

"..."

Lu Xin thought about it seriously.

Leaders care about their employees and protect them. Is there anything wrong with that?

The leader wants to meet the relatives or even family members of the employees. Is there any problem?

Impeccable.

He had no choice but to nod his head and said, "No problem..."

"There's something wrong..."

As soon as Lu Xin finished speaking, Gecko next to him suddenly said something in a trembling voice.

Just now, I was blinded by Chen Jing's style, but Gecko reacted very quickly. It only took less than three minutes to react. He said uncertainly, "It seems, it seems, just now, team leader, you asked the soldier if he would mind taking two colleagues to visit relatives?"

Chen Jing turned around, smiled gently at Gecko, and said, "Yes."

Gecko panicked all of a sudden, calmed down and said, "Then can I ask, team leader, who is the other colleague you are talking about?"

Chen Jing looked at him and smiled.

Even Lu Xin found it a bit incredible. Is Gecko so stupid?

"I'm not going!"

Gecko almost climbed to the ceiling, suddenly became excited, and said loudly, "Team leader, you don't need to bring me with you... You didn't say this when you brought me here at the beginning, right? This is As for Central City, where you are going is Forbidden Experiment's room in God Creation. Besides, if we sneak over there like this, aren't we going against Central City?"

Chen Jing withdrew his gaze and said to Lu Xin, "Visiting relatives is a trivial matter, we still have to seize the time..."

Gecko shouted feebly, "I'm fighting for my own rights, are you just ignoring me?"

Chen Jing frowned and turned to look at him with an unhappy look on his face.

Lu Xin also looked over.

Gecko immediately flinched, but still bravely raised his head, with a look on his face that he would rather die here than die.

Lu Xin was soft-hearted and hesitated to speak, so he persuaded the team leader to let Gecko go.

But Chen Jing narrowed his eyes and said to Gecko in a friendly manner, "Is there any problem?"

Gecko immediately shuddered and whispered, "Central City has made it clear that he will not let us participate in this matter..."

Chen Jing smiled and said, "We have no intention of participating. We are just accompanying the soldier to visit his relatives and protect him by the way."

"But..."

Gecko wanted to be honest but couldn't. "Central City told us to stay in the hotel and wait..."

"This is your fault."

Chen Jing looked at him, smiled softly, and said, "Central City has no power to order us to do anything. They asked us to stay in the hotel, but they did not tell us to stay in the hotel. We are free. So, is there anything illegal in accompanying colleagues to visit relatives when we are free? Even if there is, four lawyers will help us solve the problem..."

"Ah this..."

Gecko found that he could not refute, and said with the last hope, "In case the team leader's relatives don't welcome us..."

"This doesn't have..."

Lu Xin hurriedly explained that he did not want Gecko to misunderstand, "After the last cooperation, my family likes you very much!"

"I also said that I would like to invite you to my home as a guest..."

"..."

Gecko's hair stood on end, and he subconsciously looked at the height outside the window.

"Haha, although I am leading the team on this mission, what we are going to do now is indeed not within the plan."

At this moment, Chen Jing said with a smile, "You can choose not to go."

"Huh?"

Whether it is Lu Xin or Gecko, there are some surprises.

Chen Jing continued, "Of course, there are some things I must explain to you clearly. The rewards and contributions for such an unexpected task are extremely high. When you return to Qinggang, I will also give you an evaluation based on your performance. You can wait for us in the hotel, but I am a little worried about you. If you miss this opportunity, your hope of being promoted to Level 5 Talent may be slim..."

He said with a smile, "Of course, I won't wear small shoes for you, I just feel sorry for you!"

"..."

"Ah..."

Gecko's expression suddenly became dull.

Chen Jing showed a satisfied smile on his face and said, "When do you plan to set off?"

Only then did Lu Xin react, looked at Gecko strangely, and said, "I hope it will be as soon as possible."

"That's good!"

Chen Jing stood up, threw the two black backpacks in his hands on the bed, and said, "We will leave in ten minutes."

"Huh?"

Lu Xin raised his head suddenly.

Chen Jing glanced at him and Gecko, and suddenly said, "Didn't you hear? Are you still stunned?"

"Wow"

Lu Xin reacted immediately and hurriedly got up and took the backpack.

After opening the backpack, I saw a set of black close-fitting uniforms and some special equipment inside. I couldn't tell the specific material. It was probably cloth, and it looked very smooth. It was probably leather, and there were obvious traces of weaving. It could only feel that it was very soft to the touch.

Not only clothes, but also corresponding boots, masks, protective goggles, etc.

Looks like good equipment for a thief...

Of course, I was definitely not going to be a thief, I was just going to visit relatives.

While Lu Xin was looking at the clothes, Chen Jing had already gone to wait outside the door, and Gecko also walked over without saying a word.

Silently he took the backpack, took out the combat uniform inside, and put it on his head one by one.

Lu Xin was still a little puzzled and persuaded in a low voice, "Actually, you don't have to go..."

"No."

Gecko said firmly, "I believe Team Leader Chen."

Lu Xin was a little surprised. "I believe she will help you advance to level five?"

"No!"

Gecko still had a firm look on his face. "I believe she will definitely give me small shoes so that I have no chance of promotion."

"..."

Lu Xin was a little surprised. "Is it that important to you whether you are promoted or not?"

"Of course there is..."

Gecko looked at Lu Xin with a straight face, suddenly laughed with a "hey", and said excitedly, "Did you know? Last time I went to Main City for a meeting, I had a great chat with Linda. She said that if I can meet Level 5 Talent's standards, she will date me."

"Do you think I really don't know that I have to take risks when I come here? I want to seize any opportunity to fight for my own interests..."

"Do you think she Old Chen is willing to promise me such a big credit without me making a scene?"

"..."

Lu Xin was a little confused about how to answer the question. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "Tie Cui agreed to date you?"

"Yeah!"

Gecko corrected. "It's Linda!"

Lu Xin didn't pay attention to this detail, but asked curiously, "What level are you at now?"

Gecko said, "Level three."

Lu Xin nodded thoughtfully. "It's not that different..."

He remembered that after Han Bing told him before, he had calculated this in private. If he was no longer attacked by S-class ability users like Sea Nation, then if he wanted to upgrade from level three to level four, he would have to perform almost 80 ordinary tasks. Gecko was not much different from him. According to his current efficiency in performing tasks... Within twenty years, there is hope to marry Linda.

Within three minutes, they put on their combat uniforms, put on their ordinary clothes, and then came out with their backpacks.

Chen Jing was standing in the corridor, leaning against the wall, holding a slender cigarette in his slender fingers.

The dim light in the hotel corridor shone on her body, making her look mysterious and sexy.

"Let's go!"

When she saw Lu Xin coming out, she threw the cigarette butt in the ashtray above the trash can and whispered.

While she was talking in a low voice, the door of a nearby room opened, and Li Gang and several lawyers came out. They did not speak, but nodded slightly, and then one walked into Chen Jing's room, and the other two walked into Gecko and Lu Xin's room.

At the end of the corridor, there was a waiter waiting, making a "please" gesture toward the stairs.

We are obviously going to visit relatives, why do everyone look so solemn and solemn?

Lu Xin thought to himself and subconsciously bowed his waist.
