Chapter 34

Looking at the cold and beautiful woman standing before him, whose figure could be described as the golden ratio, Xiao Sheng only dared to take a slight advantage verbally. If he were to be as reckless with other women, even a hundred times the courage of a country bumpkin wouldn't make him dare to do so, at least not now, after a night of intense effort.

The codename 'Bamboo Leaf Green' was not given to this woman, whom Xiao Sheng called Captain, by the military. It was given by the orphans of her former enemies! She was ruthless, alert, and skilled at hiding. Once she struck, she hit the mark! In the jungle, the most venomous were not the vipers that everyone saw, but the Bamboo Leaf Green that lurked in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike! There was no direct superior-subordinate relationship between Xiao Sheng and Bamboo Leaf Green. They had only cooperated several times in the past when they were raiding drug traffickers on the border. This woman, who often hid behind the enemy and was skilled with a butterfly knife, had organized multiple raids against border drug lords, and was thus referred to as 'Captain' by the Special Forces Team 5.

No one ever doubted her abilities. Her butterfly knife, hidden somewhere, would always cut through your throat when you least expected it! According to the standard structure, she did not belong to any department, and you couldn't even find her information in the military archives. According to international treaties, active-duty soldiers were not allowed to cross the border, but she was not, so she often operated in various corners of the world!

Bamboo Leaf Green had been famous for a long time, at least since Xiao Sheng joined the military. At that time, Bamboo Leaf Green, who was only two years older than him, was already renowned in the international special forces and mercenary circles. Few people had seen her real face; she always appeared in different identities. Whenever she completed a mission, she would disappear without a trace!

Xiao Sheng had also curiously asked his old squad leader about Bamboo Leaf Green's true identity. Every time this topic came up, the old squad leader's face would light up with pride, his eyes shining, and he would always dodge the question with various excuses. But at the end, he would always add:

"That is a group that every old special forces member aspires to join..." The term 'old special forces member' was not unfamiliar to Xiao Sheng, but its broad definition was vast. Xiao Sheng didn't know how long one had to serve in the special forces to be considered an 'old bird,' but he had already served for nearly six years and still didn't fully understand this level!

His easy-going nature made Xiao Sheng rarely ask about it again. However, as his service time grew longer, his cooperation with Bamboo Leaf Green became more frequent. Given Xiao Sheng's 'slick' personality, how could he not have some entanglements with Bamboo Leaf Green? But every time, it was Xiao Sheng who ended up at a disadvantage. Yet, he always rose up like an indestructible cockroach, perhaps making him the only one in the military and this circle with such courage and ability!

Looking at the elusive woman before him, Xiao Sheng, who was maintaining a one-meter distance, couldn't help but show a bitter smile after hearing her words. He scratched his head and asked softly:

"Captain, your appearance is always a harbinger of doom for anyone. What's the task this time? I should tell you, I have a mission this time."

After hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Bamboo Leaf Green, standing there with a cold expression, replied succinctly:

"No conflict." Her voice was still sweet, making one feel refreshed. Xiao Sheng's 'embarrassment' grew, and he took half a step forward. This half-step immediately made the atmosphere in the room tense. Bamboo Leaf Green's hand, which had been casually resting by her side, suddenly held a shiny butterfly knife. Her clear eyes glared at Xiao Sheng, and her pink lips parted, speaking coldly:

"Take another half-step, and I'll kill you." Hearing this, Xiao Sheng's smile turned awkward, and his right foot, which had been raised, instantly retracted. Having been wrapped like a mummy several times from being cut by a knife, Xiao Sheng wisely took a step back this time. But he still replied:

"You can't bear to."

In response to Xiao Sheng's words, she showed no emotion and continued:

"The information and the mission are in your file. I came to remind you that this mission is different from others. We have been following this lead for a long time, and we have only just found a clue. Take it seriously. Your direct superior is only me."

"Understood, but if the two missions conflict, which one do I execute first?"

"That's not my problem." With that, Bamboo Leaf Green turned to leave. However, just as she turned, Xiao Sheng, using his legs, suddenly rushed forward. Bamboo Leaf Green, who had turned her head, saw the shiny butterfly knife in her hand spin brilliantly. The blade was sharp, and as she turned, her arm, gripping the butterfly knife, attacked Xiao Sheng.

The blade grazed Xiao Sheng's forehead, and with his legs bent, Xiao Sheng successfully dodged the attack. The explosive power he unleashed at that moment was not to be missed, and he instantly lunged at Bamboo Leaf Green.

Describing this series of exchanges as lightning-fast was not an exaggeration, and it was equally fitting to describe their sudden stop. As Xiao Sheng's lips were about to touch her cheek, another butterfly knife appeared like magic, pressing against Xiao Sheng's neck. Xiao Sheng's smile froze, and his voice trembled slightly as he said:

"Captain, you only use one butterfly knife, right?"

"Did I say that?" Hearing this, Xiao Sheng's eyes welled up with tears, and he wore an innocent smile! Then, he saw Bamboo Leaf Green's butterfly knife, moving like lightning, 'dancing' on his body.

With his hands on his waist, ignoring the strips of fabric that were his upper clothing, Xiao Sheng wore a playful smile. Looking at the place where Bamboo Leaf Green had disappeared, he licked his lips and said to himself:

"I knew you couldn't bear to hurt me now. Run, I'll let you run. You can run away, but you can't hide. Last time I kissed your right cheek, next time I'll definitely kiss your left cheek." With that, Xiao Sheng laughed loudly, pulling the strips of fabric on his body, somewhat like a performer.

Tearing off his upper clothing, which revealed his bare chest, Xiao Sheng sat in front of the computer, opened his personal file, and put aside his earlier carefree attitude. He carefully read through the entire mission file. After finishing the first file, Xiao Sheng frowned and muttered:

"No wonder they assigned two missions at the same time. It turns out Hua Xin is involved too."
