Chapter 238: The Mysterious Power of the Dragon Team
From Qin Yun's tone, it seemed she was quite wary of the mysterious Old Dragon.
Dragon Team, Old Dragon, Beijing...
Related phrases flashed through Xiao Yun's mind, and he suddenly felt that Qin Yun's young age and her position as Deputy Director of the Jiangnan Provincial Prosecutor's Office must be related to the Dragon Team.
It appeared that the power of the Dragon Team was immense; they could even command local police not to respond when they were ambushing someone. What exactly were they doing?
Moreover, how did Ouyang Bing know about this Dragon Team?
Clearly, Qin Yun had noticed the myriad questions swirling in Xiao Yun's mind. Wan'er smiled and said, "Xiao Yun, are you a bit dissatisfied with Sister Yun regarding what happened today?"
"No, how could that be?" Xiao Yun chuckled.
"Then you must be very curious about who Old Dragon is and what the Dragon Team does, right?" Qin Yun asked.
Xiao Yun replied, "Yes, if Sister Yun is willing to share, could you tell me?"
"Sure,"
Qin Yun nodded, her expression becoming somewhat distant as she slowly said, "Actually, it's a long story. My surname is not Qin; my real surname is Long. The Old Man Qin in the Provincial Capital is not my biological grandfather. My real grandfather is in Beijing, and he is the Old Dragon that Long Yan mentioned!"
The name of Long's grandfather was Long Xiaotian, one of the founding generals of Huaxia. In his prime, he received a top-secret order from Huaxia to establish a mysterious special organization known as the Dragon Team.
At that time, it was the beginning of the founding of the nation, and the evil forces both domestically and internationally were colluding with each other, constantly attempting to overthrow our new regime in Huaxia. The mission of the Dragon Team not only involved protecting the safety of Huaxia's highest-level leaders but also shouldered the heavy responsibility of national security, eradicating all evil forces lurking within Huaxia.
As a member of the Dragon Team, one must possess not only a hundred percent loyalty to Huaxia but also exceptional skills, keen instincts, and the ability to remain calm in emergencies while being decisive in action.
Within the Dragon Team, members are generally divided into two categories: Wen Long and Wulong.
Wen Long is responsible for intelligence gathering, while Wulong focuses on security and eliminating threats.
Long Xiaotian, a military general by background, has very strict requirements for selecting Wulong members. He employs a survival-of-the-fittest approach; in other words, once a promising candidate is identified, he selects skilled individuals from the existing members to launch a surprise attack on the newly discovered personnel, even going so far as to kill if necessary.
This is a brutal selection process where life and death are inconsequential; the only goal is to ensure the emergence of high-quality new Wulong members.
Thanks to Long Xiaotian's efforts, the Dragon Team expanded rapidly, spreading across the country and making outstanding contributions to national security, establishing significant achievements.
However, in the 1960s, an unprecedented internal conflict spread throughout the nation. Long Xiaotian was labeled as the leader of a spy organization, publicly denounced, and subsequently sent to the border for labor reform. This so-called reform was essentially a covert attempt to eliminate him. Fortunately, several loyal Dragon Team members remained by Long Xiaotian's side and secretly protected him.
Unfortunately, Long Xiaotian's children were not so fortunate.
His children were relocated from Beijing to Jiangnan Province. His daughter was humiliated and took her own life, while his son and daughter-in-law could not bear the abuse and also jumped into the river, leaving behind two young daughters who were taken in by an elderly man named Qin.
This elderly man named Qin is now known as Old Man Qin in Pearl City.
The two girls are named Long Yun and Long Yan; the elder is Long Yun and the younger is Long Yan.
Old Man Qin hails from Shaolin Temple and possesses exceptional martial arts skills. Seeing potential in these two young girls, he decided to pass on his skills to them.
Later, the country restored order, and Long Xiaotian returned to his old position. He sent someone to Jiangnan Province to find his pair of granddaughters. To repay Old Man Qin for his nurturing, he kept Long Yun by his side and only brought back Long Yan.
Thus, Long Yun was renamed Qin Yun, and Old Man Qin became her grandfather. Very few outsiders knew about her background.
Due to Long Xiaotian's influence and Qin Yun's outstanding contributions at work, she quickly advanced from a county-level leader to the Provincial Government. Not long after, at a young age, she took on the role of Deputy Director of the Provincial Prosecutor's Office.
Of course, her position as director came with a special responsibility for the Dragon Team. To be precise, the title of Deputy Director of the Provincial Prosecutor's Office was merely nominal, allowing her to carry out some activities related to the Dragon Team more conveniently.
At this point, Qin Yun looked at Xiao Yun and smiled again, saying, "Actually, whenever I am involved in anything related to the Dragon Team, I have to report to Old Dragon. For instance, this time I came to Galaxy; for safety reasons, I had to report even the hotel and room number I booked to him. Otherwise, Long Yan would never have been able to know my whereabouts so clearly."
Xiao Yun asked, "You came to Galaxy just to invite me to join your Dragon Team?"
"That's right!" Qin Yun replied.
Hearing this, Xiao Yun was somewhat puzzled. She had only treated Qin Yun's lumbar disc herniation in Provincial Capital; how could she be chosen to join the Dragon Team?
"Sister Yun..."
Just as Xiao Yun was about to voice her doubts, Qin Yun smiled and said, "Actually, after you left Mingzhu, I immediately contacted Ouyang Bing to learn about your situation. I also had her keep me updated on your movements. That's how I found out that not only can you treat people with your bone painting skills, but your abilities are also beyond what ordinary people can imagine—like taking down Orchid Daoist at Wohu Mountain and subduing Gu Tianfeng at Dead End... It was because of these accomplishments that I thought of inviting you to join the Dragon Team!"
"Ouyang Bing is also a member of your Dragon Team?" Xiao Yun asked in surprise.
Qin Yun replied, "Yes, she is Wen Long in the Dragon Team. However, she only knows me as Dragon Sister and is unaware of my exact identity. So this secret must not be disclosed to anyone, including the fact that I came to Galaxy to invite you to join the Dragon Team—sigh, I never expected that this trip would lead to such a series of events..."
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Sister Yun, you can't blame yourself for this; if anything, you can only blame Long Yan..."
"Xiao Yun, you... you shouldn't blame her either. She is doing this for the good of the Dragon Team, but her methods are just too extreme. She has always been willful, sigh, I didn't expect her to not trust me!" Qin Yun said this with a hint of grievance.
She secretly felt relieved that when she first entered the Galactic District and was "forcefully" taken away by a group of local officials, she managed to keep a clear head and didn't drink. She returned in time; otherwise, if she had been even a moment later, who knows what might have happened next.
The two most likely scenarios were:
The first scenario was that Xiao Yun fell into Long Yan's hands. She would take him away, and given her distrustful nature towards everyone, although she would acknowledge Xiao Yun as a member of the Dragon Team as Wulong, there would be a lot of trouble regarding his loyalty test.
The second scenario was that Xiao Yun, in a fit of anger, would confront Long Yan...
In either case, the outcome for Xiao Yun would be unimaginable...
Fortunately, Xiao Yun's greatest strength was his casual attitude towards the women he valued. Just as Qin Yun had said earlier, he wouldn't hold Long Yan accountable.
However, he felt that those three people had died too tragically. It seemed that the Dragon Team didn't value their own members' lives at all.
"Xiao Yun, I'm not just here in the galaxy to ask you to join the Dragon Team; there's another matter regarding your company," Qin Yun suddenly changed the subject.
Xiao Yun smiled again and said, "Sister Yun, you even know about my company matters?"
"I not only know but also heard that a woman named Miss Yukiko wants to invest one hundred million in you. That's quite a sum!"
"Haha, Sister Yun is indeed impressive; you even have these little details down clearly!"
Clearly, these matters were shared by Feng Xia, that naive girl, with Ouyang Bing. As a member of the Dragon Team, Ouyang Bing naturally passed them on to Qin Yun without reservation.
Xiao Yun was only surprised by why Qin Yun was interested in her company.
At that moment, Qin Yun's expression became unusually serious as she pondered, "Miss Yukiko is so generous. Do you know why she is doing this? What kind of person is she?"
In front of Qin Yun, Xiao Yun had nothing to hide. After all, she was a respected Provincial Beautiful Hall Master who regarded her highly, so there was no reason not to speak.
Although this was only their second meeting, for some reason, he felt an absolute sense of trust towards her. As for joining the Dragon Team, there was nothing wrong with that, but he would make his own demands: he would only take orders from Sister Yun; as for others, they shouldn't think they could command him at will.
Especially Long Yan; he wouldn't pay any attention to her at all!
Xiao Yun said, "I only know she is Japanese. She has a name from the Island Nation, called Takahashi Yukiko, and she is a soldier from the Island Nation. I don't know much else."
"Uh, you know she is Japanese?" Qin Yun asked in surprise.
Xiao Yun replied, "Yes, that's why I agreed to her investment. I want to see what her true intentions are."
As for how Xiao Yun discovered that Miss Yukiko was Japanese, Qin Yun didn't want to ask further. She just nodded secretly, thinking that finding Xiao Yun to join the Dragon Team was indeed the right choice; this guy had incredible abilities.
"Xiao Yun," Qin Yun said seriously, "according to the information we have in the Dragon Team, this Miss Yukiko is indeed a Japanese soldier, and her father and grandfather are typical Japanese!"
Xiao Yun was taken aback. "What? Ding Shaodong and his father are also Japanese?"
This... how could that be possible? The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
