Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

In the study.

A video call from Forty-nine City came through, and as soon as Ouyang Jie connected, the visage of Elder Ouyang Shu immediately appeared on the screen.

But what was puzzling was that, sitting beside Elder Ouyang, was a square-faced middle-aged man who just by his looks seemed to exude an aura of unyielding righteousness!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"It's been a long time, Song Yun. I hope Jie hasn't caused you any trouble lately,"

said Elder Ouyang Shu with a smile.

"Not at all, Ouyang Jie has been doing well here; you needn't worry," Song Yun replied.

"Good. The reason I'm contacting you today is that there's a matter I hope you can help with. I've heard Jie say that your skills are very formidable, even stronger than his?"

"They're passable," Song Yun answered nonchalantly.

"If you listen to what I'm about to say next, it means that you'll have to clear your schedule for the next few days to fully commit to the mission we give you. If you choose not to listen, you can leave right now,"

explained Elder Ouyang with a very serious expression.

Here it comes!

Song Yun pretended to be conflicted before asking cautiously, "May I ask what the matter is first?"

"No!"

the middle-aged man beside Elder Ouyang interjected firmly, his voice booming with the air of authority.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm in charge of this operation; my name is Li Jun. This call is encrypted, and a recording has been made for backup. If you agree to this now but later decide to back out, you will face severe repercussions!"

Holy shit!

Is it that serious?

Even Ouyang Jie, standing to one side, was stunned into silence.

Who doesn't know about Song Yun's extraordinary status? Any rash move to suppress him could cause the market environment in Magic Capital to change drastically, not just once but thrice a day!

With that thought, Ouyang Jie began to take this operation seriously.

Though he was the grandson of Elder Ouyang Shu, he didn't know any inside information and was completely in the dark.

"I see..."

Song Yun mumbled thoughtfully, "Will this operation endanger my personal safety?"

"It may... or it may not. After all, I can't give you an absolute guarantee, but I assure you that I'll use all available resources to safeguard your security," the middle-aged man, now known as Li Jun, said earnestly.

"Furthermore, for this operation, we only need to make use of your identity. You can choose not to be involved in any dangerous parts!"

Hearing this, Song Yun felt he roughly understood the situation.

"I agree!"

"Excellent! With that confirmation, you are now part of our Operation Morning Star!"

"Hold on... I don't think I've agreed yet, have I? Shouldn't you ask me?"

Ouyang Jie, a bit bewildered, interjected.

"You've been conscripted!"

Li Jun curtly stated and then asked, "Are you familiar with photolithography machines?"

Now we're getting to the crux of it!

"I am aware. Isn't our country planning on developing them on its own?"

"That's the official line, but our domestically developed photolithography machines are considered low-end products. High-end machines are controlled by certain countries, representing a technological barrier we currently have no better way to overcome. This monopoly is highly disadvantageous for us!"

"So we've decided to buy one of the most advanced photolithography machines using the identity of a foreign-based Chinese enterprise!"

"The plan was going very smoothly, and transportation had already begun!"

"But then, an accident occurred. Someone leaked information, putting us in a very precarious situation, so we have to rely on ourselves now!"

"Wait a minute, may I ask what happened to the people originally in charge of this plan?" Song Yun asked curiously.

"They are currently undergoing an investigation. We will certainly find out who leaked the information!" Li Jun spoke with gravity.

"We can't accept the machine openly due to our exposed position, so we need a front!"

"The machine will be delivered to the port at midnight the day after tomorrow. We need agents dispatched to receive it and provide safe transport back to Forty-nine City!"

"This is where your identity comes in! You're a wealthy businessman, and our personnel at the port will send you an email invitation to visit, allowing you to bring in the rest of the squad!"

"Is there anything else you need clarified?"

After thinking for a moment, Song Yun nodded and said, "When will the rest of the operation's team arrive?"

"They will arrive in Magic Capital at eight o'clock tonight, and at nine in the morning tomorrow, you will fly to the port. Once there, your mission will be deemed complete!"

"That's it? I don't need to do anything else?"

"That's it! The squad members we are dispatching are all elite soldiers in perfect sync with each other. If you were to insert yourself carelessly, you could disrupt their tactics!" Li Jun asserted seriously. "Moreover, this operation will unavoidably entail some risk, and involving yourself too deeply could compromise your safety.

After all, our team prioritizes the photolithography machine over your wellbeing!"

Well, damn!

Song Yun hadn't expected the task to be this simple!

So it's just a trip to the port, huh?

"Alright! If that's the case, then I agree!" Song Yun said casually.

"Thank you for your contribution to the motherland!" Li Jun stood up and saluted Song Yun, saying, "We have arranged everything, and we hope the operation goes smoothly!"

"Let's hope so," Song Yun said indifferently and then the call ended.

"Damn! Why do I feel like I'm just a bystander?"

Ouyang Jie said with some dissatisfaction, "And they didn't even provide any information. Are they expecting us to go in blind?"

"Don't worry. Maybe the squad has the information. Let's have a good talk when they arrive tonight!" Song Yun reassured him before leaving the room.

He still had to make preparations! Because this mission might not be as simple as Li Jun made it sound!

If it were that simple, the system wouldn't have sent him a task rated A!

He needed to prepare for any storm that might be coming!

At eight o'clock at night, four figures appeared at the entrance of a lavish villa.

They looked somewhat detached as they gazed at the towering house.

"Rich people really do live in nice places, damn it!"

One young man, stroking his stubbled chin, remarked, "I wonder when we'll get to live in a house like this!"

"Shut up, will you?"

A very muscular man interrupted, "Curb your fantasies. Remember we are here for a mission that concerns advancing our technology. If your comments cause Song Yun to drop out of this operation, I believe Li Jun will skin you first!"

"Ooh, you're scaring me,"

the young man said sarcastically, "It's just about utilizing Song Yun's identity, no big deal!"
