161: Chapter 161 Heroes! Heroes!

If she had known earlier that Wang Shuo would take a fancy to this worthless abandoned base at a single glance, she wouldn't have needed to spend so much effort pulling strings to find someone.

Looking at it now, if she had listened to her old man back then, just picking a few random plots of land to put in there would have been fine.

Or she could have just not included them at all and given him one option.

Looking at Wang Shuo, whose eyes were shining in front of her, Zheng Yi steadied her mind and was just about to speak when her phone suddenly rang.

Zheng Yi looked down at it.

"Sit for a moment, I need to take a call."

After saying this, without waiting for Wang Shuo to respond, she pushed the door open and walked out.

A few minutes later, Zheng Yi walked back into the room.

Returning to her seat, Zheng Yi examined Wang Shuo with a peculiar look, then reached into her file bag and pulled out another item.

It was a black-covered certificate.

"This thing..." Zheng Yi paused slightly, carefully observing Wang Shuo's reaction. Seeing that he was just looking curiously at the certificate in her hand, she continued, "I hadn't planned to give this to you now, but the situation has changed."

"What is this?"

Wang Shuo was somewhat surprised. He didn't seem to have asked for this; his only gun permit was already in his pocket.

Zheng Yi handed the certificate in her hand to Wang Shuo.

"This is..." Wang Shuo showed a trace of surprise, "A Special Service Permit?"

"It's something that all official members of the China Special Service Team have." Zheng Yi pulled out an identical certificate from her own pocket and waved it in front of Wang Shuo.

"The full name is the China Special Secret Service Permit, abbreviated as the Special Service Permit."

"You are now registered as a member of the Wolf Eagle Special Operations Team, with an operational range within China."

"What is it used for?"

Wang Shuo was a bit confused.

"What is it used for?"

Zheng Yi smiled. If her little brother knew that his classmate had already obtained a Special Service Permit, he would probably jump right out of bed and strangle Wang Shuo.

This was something that Zheng Jun had always been striving for.

"There are many benefits. In an emergency, holding a Special Service Permit allows you to directly meet with the highest local administrative official. You have authority one level above the official you meet. You can bypass chains of command to mobilize local police forces, requisition weapons and ammunition, and in the absence of higher-ranking Special Service members, you can command armed operations."

Wang Shuo opened his mouth slightly.

"The most important thing is..." Zheng Yi said, enunciating each word, "If casualties occur during an emergency, you do not need to cooperate with the local police force's investigation. You report directly to the Military Commission, and the Military Commission will appoint investigators."

At this moment, Wang Shuo's head was buzzing, and three big words appeared: License to Kill!

This was a state-recognized, legal license to kill!

Of course, just because they gave you the permit doesn't mean you can kill people indiscriminately, but if the other party is a terrorist or has a serious criminal record, it's a completely different matter.

If Wang Shuo were to encounter someone like Ning Hao now, he could execute them on the spot.

According to standard procedure, no matter who the other party is, as long as they are dead, the other side always has to go to the station to cooperate with the investigation. Although they might not be found guilty in the end, this undoubtedly delays many things at times.

Now it's better; the local police force has no right to arrest Special Service personnel holding a Special Service Permit. Even if they wanted to arrest them, they would have to wait for the Military Commission to review it, and then have a specialized agency execute it.

He would also have more room to maneuver.

Not to mention, Wang Shuo also held command authority over local police forces. As long as it was within the scope of an emergency, and there were no other Special Service members around, this command authority was unshakable.

This was just too...

Wang Shuo didn't know what to say anymore.

This was a treasure; it felt much more reliable than working himself to death upgrading the Sky Eye System.

Wang Shuo held the Special Service Permit, unable to put it down.

"I've given you the permit, but don't misuse it." Zheng Yi glared at Wang Shuo and warned, "This is not a get-out-of-jail-free card. If an investigation finds that your actions had major faults, or if the other party was just an ordinary citizen, you will still face a military tribunal."

"Got it, got it."

Wang Shuo nodded quickly. Obviously, if he could kill people indiscriminately, everything would be in chaos.

Moreover, he hadn't even killed a chicken before; killing a person? Forget it.

But then again, there are some things I might not use, but I can't be without them. The Special Service Permit is exactly that kind of thing.

"You had better know it." Zheng Yi said indifferently, "If I find out you misuse the permit, I will personally come to your door and make sure you can never use it again."

This was love from his older sister figure.

Wang Shuo finally understood why Zheng Jun had that expression when mentioning Zheng Yi; this big sister had violent tendencies.

Fortunately, Zheng Yi only gave a warning and didn't give him another shoulder throw.

Although Wang Shuo missed that soft feeling...

"One last thing."

Zheng Yi sat back down, took another document out of the file bag, and handed it to Wang Shuo.

What was it this time?

Wang Shuo took it curiously and opened it, only to find that it was someone's resume.

"Sister Zheng, what is this?"

"Your candidate for security consultant." Zheng Yi said indifferently.

A candidate for security consultant? Wang Shuo became a bit more serious and looked at the information carefully.

"Instructor Duan Chengwu, 36 years old, from Sichuan Province, former captain of the China Wolf Eagle Special Forces Brigade, Chief Instructor of the China Special Forces Brigade, and specially appointed Chief Instructor of the China National Defense University."

"Skilled in disguise, infiltration, assassination, tracking, combat, demolition, diving, and various other techniques. Proficient in using various domestic and foreign firearms and weapon equipment. He has mastered the operation of most cars, ships, aircraft, submersibles, and even spacecraft, and is familiar with the synthesis, production, and use of explosives."

"He is the only living recipient of the China Guardian Medal, having executed thousands of missions without a single failure."

Wang Shuo gasped; this was practically a god of war.

Although he hadn't seen the specific mission briefings—those weren't things he could see anyway—just hearing Zheng Yi's introduction was already incredibly badass, right?

Someone this badass coming to be his security consultant?

Wang Shuo looked at Zheng Yi with skeptical eyes. "Sister Zheng, are you sure you're not kidding me? Are you sure you're willing to give me such a precious soldier king?"

Looking at Wang Shuo's gaze, Zheng Yi seemed to know what he was thinking. She shook her head slightly and sighed, "Keep reading."

"In 2016, while executing a mission abroad, Instructor Duan Chengwu encountered an ambush. After breaking through the encirclement, in order to save his teammates who were taken hostage, he resolutely returned to the encirclement. After the fierce battle ended, Instructor Duan Chengwu was rescued."

Wang Shuo's eyes widened as he looked at the next line.

"Lost his left arm, both legs were cruelly amputated by the enemy, and his hearing was damaged."

"He is currently recuperating at the China Military Sanatorium."

Wang Shuo's hand trembled slightly, and he fell silent.

"Finished reading?"

"He is a hero." Wang Shuo said in a low voice.

"He is a hero." Zheng Yi affirmed. "Instructor Duan Chengwu hasn't left the sanatorium for two years. I and... we hope that you can accept him, let him return to normal social life, and with his knowledge and ability, helping you establish a Security Company is more than enough."

"This is not a condition; this is a request from the military. You have the right to refuse."

After speaking, Zheng Yi quietly waited for Wang Shuo's response, though she was very worried inside. She knew that with Instructor Duan Chengwu's condition, there was almost no work he could do, and almost no one could accept him.

Hero, hero—the word hero is as heavy as a mountain.

The next moment, Zheng Yi was no longer worried.

Because she saw young man in front of her look up, grin at her, with what seemed to be a light shining in his eyes.

She heard him say, "You cannot let a hero bleed and then shed tears."

"As a citizen of China, it is my bounden duty."
