The time has come.
Lian Qiang was fixing her things for her meeting to the headquarters. She was excited about even just a little details behind that notorious group and that guy named Yi Han. Her heart was pounding with anticipation as she left the mansion and stepped inside the car in the driver seat.
Detective Chan called her earlier, he said that there were two successful information he got from the founder of the Black Wing Society and the guy named Yi Han. Two days after she asked for help to Detective Chan to recognize them about Yi Han and of possible, including their location. But he said that they only got a little information about them and location was too difficult to track.
Detective Chan also told her that even though the information she wants to know is not yet complete, he still has to go to show him their pictures.
Another day, another day of waiting for him to come outside the mansion. She was already inside the car at the driver seat when Zhang Jin made his way to the passenger's seat.
"As always, you are so slow."
"As always, you gave me many orders. Who among us is the bodyguard?" He mocked the tone of her voice but she just rolled her eyes. Grumpy as always—she thought.
She started the car revving it up, ignoring his complaint.
When they arrived, she couldn't help but feel a small amount of fear as she walked towards the headquarters. This was the moment when her mission could turn dangerous. Initially, she had thought of herself as a simple protector for a specific person, but now she could sense a mix of weight and excitement building up inside her.
The police and Orphan Mission saluted her which she immediately returned their gestures.
As they made their way outside the Battle Field Simulation at the back of the headquarters, women who were part of the Orphan Mission, were exaggeratedly becoming infatuated with the handsomeness of the man behind her. At first she thought of something as if they saw an artist inside the headquarters but it turns out they were actually looking at the person behind her, who seemed amazed about the large LCD screen outside the Battle Field Simulation.
Lian Qiang heard some giggles and murmurs when they were on their way.
Outside the Battle Field Simulation, a semi-circular arrangement of seats awaited, reminiscent of a football stadium. As he settled into one, his attention was drawn to the massive LCD screen before him. Though not as huge as a football stadium's expanse, it still left him utterly astonished. Lian Qiang thought that this could be her chance to introduce him to where she works, as it was his first time being there.
Having learned her lesson, Lian Qiang decided not to leave him alone in the mansion and brought him to the headquarters.
"Since, you are already here. Maybe, I'll just tour you around first." She looked at her watch. They still have more time to tour him around considering their meeting will start later. Lian Qiang started to tour him around.
"So, this is our Battle Field Simulation, where we practice our skills by forming teams of two. But it's up to you if you want to have teams of three versus three, four versus four or one versus one. There are no strict rules about that; depending on the goals of the training. It's an expansive, realistic training area established for tough combat training. " she explained, opening the huge door of the Battle Field Simulation area.
"...as you can see, the entire surroundings are covered in walls with a white tint, it's vast and there are numerous doors leading to various mazes all around," she explained, taking in the huge dimension.
He guessed that door were hiding place.
"...there were CCTV cameras positioned above, ensuring that every player's movements are recorded and displayed on a large LCD screen outside," she added, pointing out the surveillance camera in place.
That's why he raised his gaze and noticed that the cameras were in motion, directed towards them.
"...you are not allowed to use a real gun here, you have to use a fake guns that has a paint bullets because this place is exclusive only for practicing your tactics and movement, to dodge the enemies shooting or to practice your mind to create a good plan to deceive your enemy. However, you can also practice shooting here. If you want to play here you can make a schedule and ask it to Chief."
"Usually, those who train here have already completed ten years of studying. They come to hone their skills after finishing their education, as they're about to begin combat training," she explained. Zhang Jin listened as she described the training area. They went outside the Battle Field Simulation area and went to the shooting range.
"This is our shooting range. Here, we practice our shooting skills," she said, gesturing towards the area. Zhang Jin's eyes widened in amazement as he watched someone, wearing protective eyewear and hearing protection, focus on shooting a target with one eye open.
The man suddenly stopped shooting when he finally noticed Lian Qiang. Zhang Jin felt that this guy looked familiar, like he had seen him somewhere before but he chose to ignore him as if he cares.
"Officer," the man greeted, and Lian Qiang smiled at him, which annoyed Zhang Jin. They exchanged salutes.
"Didn't know you brought him?" Liu Xian asked, referring to him.
The woman chuckled. "I need to, I don't want him to run away again."
"You should learn your lesson." He also chuckled.
"Ah, yes. I know you know each other, but Zhang Jin, you haven't know his name yet. Allow me to introduce you. This is Zhang Jin, and this is Liu Xian."
Liu Xian stretched out his hand right away, but it seemed that the grumpy man didn't want to offer his hand in return. Creating a handshake between them, Lian Qiang took matters into her own hands and gripped both of their hands.
"I'm sorry, this kid always a bit hot-headed." She stated scratching her neck.
"No it's okay." Liu Xian just forgot about it and smiled.
The door of the shooting range opened and Detective Chan went inside.
"I was looking for you Officer Lian, let's start our meeting." He said.
