When Yi Jiuchuan entered, Jiang Jiwen was studying the sand table of Guokan District. This sand table was constructed based on intelligence gathered by the Mei Organization. It not only displayed the distribution of mountains and rivers but also marked the troop deployments of Guokan. Unfortunately, the situation regarding these troop deployments was only clearly understood along the border with Taiwan, while there were still large blank areas that needed further intelligence collection, especially concerning the border defense near Guokan's border with neighboring country L, which remained completely unknown. Although Guokan claimed to have an army of thirty thousand, who knew if Chieftain Yang Wencai had any hidden reserves?
Seeing Yi Jiuchuan enter, Jiang Jiwen quickly waved his hand and said, "Jiuchuan is here! Come over quickly; I am studying the sand table of Guokan. Did you bring me good news today? Is there new information about troop deployments to share?"
Yi Jiuchuan hurried over to Jiang Jiwen and replied, "Mr. President, I did come to report on the situation regarding Guokan today, but unfortunately, it is disappointing bad news."
"Oh? What bad news?" Jiang Jiwen did not show any surprise and continued to look at the sand table as if the matter being discussed had nothing to do with him. He calmly said, "Go ahead and tell me."
"Recently, a section chief from our Intelligence Division took a dozen agents to Guokan because he received information that several agents from Heavenly Pride Nation had entered Guokan District through the nearby jungle along the border with Guokan, intending to infiltrate our territory to steal intelligence. So he took people to capture them in Guokan. However, yesterday those agents reported back that their section chief and Deputy Section Chief were captured alive by those Heavenly Pride agents, and it seems those Heavenly Pride agents have some connections with Guokan Military." As Yi Jiuchuan reported the situation, he observed Jiang Jiwen's expression closely, but Jiang Jiwen's face showed no change; he continued staring at the sand table.
"Mm, continue," Jiang Jiwen replied. "What are your thoughts?"
"I think this might mean that Heavenly Pride Nation has reached some agreement with Guokan. Are they collaborating to find a way to deal with us?" Yi Jiuchuan cautiously answered.
"Mm," Jiang Jiwen gazed at the boundary between Guokan and the jungle for a moment before saying, "Jiuchuan, look here; this is Guokan's border." Jiang Jiwen pointed at the sand table and continued, "On the other side of the border is Taiwan's largest jungle. Beyond that jungle lies our Border Line with Heavenly Pride; to its south is Guokan and to its north is Heavenly Pride. If Guokan were truly cooperating with Heavenly Pride, we would be unable to defend this Border Line at all. Why would they only send a few agents over?"
"So what does Mr. President mean?" Yi Jiuchuan asked cautiously.
"What I mean is that you are overthinking!" Jiang Jiwen laughed heartily. "Hahaha... If they were truly collaborating, they would certainly first take our Taiwan border line. In that case, Heavenly Pride's army could march straight in and reach Guokan without hindrance. However, I judge that within ten years, Heavenly Pride Nation will not launch such a large-scale invasion of our territory."
"Yes, yes, yes; Mr. President's analysis makes perfect sense. It seems I was overthinking after all. But what should we make of the Heavenly Pride agents they sent this time? Were they merely here to steal intelligence from our territory? If that were all they wanted, why would they need to cooperate with Guokan? They should be able to accomplish this independently," Yi Jiuchuan said.
"This does seem a bit strange," Jiang Jiwen replied. "If I'm not mistaken, they likely used your two subordinates to curry favor with Yang Wencai. It appears they are aware of our espionage war with Guokan; hence they captured your two subordinates as gifts to show goodwill towards Yang Wencai. Hehe, Jiuchuan, it seems your subordinates need to strengthen their capabilities; two section chiefs were easily captured by them! This incident won't reflect well on our Taiwan intelligence department."
"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. President is right. I will definitely train my subordinates well from now on!" Yi Jiuchuan said, sweating profusely. Although Jiang Jiwen spoke kindly, he was ruthless when it came to matters of importance. Even an experienced agent like Yi Jiuchuan, who had worked in the field for decades, could not compare to him. As the saying goes, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; one never knows when they might accidentally provoke this merciless leader and end up in dire straits.
"Well, good. It's time to go back and train your subordinates properly," Jiang Jiwen said. "By the way, Jiuchuan, when can you provide me with the deployment situation of the remaining troops in Guokan District? I'm waiting for it to be researched. You know that taking Guokan as soon as possible is beneficial."
Yi Jiuchuan was genuinely sweating now. Since Jiang Jiwen asked this way, it implied that he was hinting at Yi Jiuchuan's inefficiency in handling matters and delaying the military plan to take Guokan. Such a charge was something he could never bear. So, Yi Jiuchuan quickly lowered his head and replied, "This matter has been delayed by me. I assure Mr. President that within six months... oh no, within three months, I will deliver the detailed troop deployment information of Guokan to your desk!"
"Good. I'll be waiting for your good news." Jiang Jiwen smiled modestly and waved his hand at Yi Jiuchuan, signaling that he could leave.
Yi Jiuchuan wiped his cold sweat as he exited the Presidential Office. However, just thinking about the stunning beauty waiting in the car made his mood brighten up again. This feeling was truly wonderful! He hadn't experienced such excitement in years. Just imagining that beautiful woman's face and figure made the nearly fifty-year-old Yi Jiuchuan feel an impulse akin to that of a novice.
Yi Jiuchuan hurried back to the car. As soon as he got in, Daisy flashed him a captivating smile that could bring nations to ruin. Yi Jiuchuan's eyes nearly popped out; this was simply lethal! He couldn't hold back any longer! He quickly sat up straight to hide his embarrassment. But with such a small space in the car and the windows tightly closed for safety reasons, the entire cabin was filled with Daisy's alluring scent. Sitting so close together only fueled Yi Jiuchuan's wicked thoughts uncontrollably. Although the air conditioning was on, beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.
Daisy seemed completely unaware of Yi Jiuchuan's torturous predicament and casually chatted with him about trivial matters. From the side, Yi Jiuchuan admired Daisy's velvety white neck and delicate earlobes, wishing he could pounce on her like a vampire and bite down hard before brutally pushing her onto the seat to ravage her. Just then, Daisy suddenly turned her head and saw Yi Jiuchuan staring at her with eyes gleaming with desire. When she looked down and noticed his bulging pants, she understood what was happening. She shyly smiled but wasn't angry; instead, she took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to him with a voice that could melt bones: "Oh dear, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? You're sweating so much even with the air conditioning on; here, wipe it off."
Daisy's reaction was like giving Yi Jiuchuan the greatest encouragement; she clearly knew what he was thinking but wasn't angry at all—she even offered him a tissue to wipe his sweat. Was this an implicit approval? Yi Jiuchuan was overjoyed and felt emboldened; he thanked her while reaching for the tissue she handed over. However, his hand ended up grasping both the tissue and Daisy's soft delicate hand together, gently squeezing it as he savored the tender touch from her fingertips. Daisy tried to pull her hand away but couldn't move it; soon she stopped struggling altogether and let Yi Jiuchuan's hands roam over hers. Seeing Daisy give up resisting only made Yi Jiuchuan bolder; his fingers began to climb up her hand, preparing to invade more territory for greater pleasure. At this moment, Daisy seemed to suddenly come to her senses and removed Yi Jiuchuan's wandering hand while softly saying, "Don't do that; there are other people in this car."
Yi Jiuchuan didn't need to force it; he understood that this beauty couldn't escape his grasp anyway and wasn't in a hurry for immediate gratification. He decided to enjoy it later in his office instead and laughed heartily as he took the tissue from Daisy's hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
At this point, they had already left the Presidential Office. Yi Jiuchuan knew that there was actually nothing wrong with Daisy's leg; it was merely an excuse he created to get closer to her. Now there was no time to waste going to a hospital when they could seize this opportunity instead. Since Daisy seemed to have tacitly agreed, there was no reason not to act quickly on business matters first. So he said, "Miss Daisy, Mr. President just asked me to handle something immediately when I get back. How about this: I’ll take care of it first and then accompany you to the hospital for a check-up? This way you can also visit my office."
Daisy thought for a moment as if hesitating. Yi Jiuchuan seized the moment and added, "Are you afraid I might do something bad to you? You can rest assured; given my position, you should trust me."
Finally, Daisy nodded and replied, "How could that be? Alright then; your business is important! I can also take this opportunity to visit your department; I've never been to a military department before! But will anyone stop me? I'm not part of your department; I've heard it's very strict in military departments."
Yi Jiuchuan laughed heartily: "Hahaha... If anyone dares to check someone I bring in, then this department doesn't deserve my surname Yi!"
"Ah! So you are actually the top person inside?" Daisy exclaimed in surprise and admiration as she looked at the smug Yi Jiuchuan, "Does that mean you can often meet Mr. President? I'm so envious!"
"Yes, I am indeed the head of this military department," Yi Jiuchuan replied with a modest smile. "As for Mr. President, I don't even need to report when I go to see him; we are quite good friends." This time, Yi Jiuchuan shamelessly boasted a bit. While it was true that he didn't need to report to see Mr. President, claiming that they were good friends was pure nonsense. To put it nicely, their relationship could be described as one of ruler and subject; to put it bluntly, it resembled that of master and servant, or even worse, master and dog. Perhaps some masters might consider their dogs as good friends, but that certainly did not apply to Jiang Jiwen and Yi Jiuchuan's relationship, as Jiang Jiwen was not the type of person who would have enough sympathy to befriend a vicious dog.
