Afternoon.
The sun is bright.
The Inspection Team had left, and Dong Xuebing does not need to work on the National Respect and Care for the elderly’s work. He had delegated the work to his subordinates. They only need to wait for the announcement that their Subdistrict is selected. He is tired after working over the weekends and decided to finish work after lunch. He drove out of the Subdistrict’s compound to look for a bathhouse. The weather had been too hot recently.
Dong Xuebing is unfamiliar with Nan Shan District. He is driving around aimlessly to look for a public bathhouse when his phone rings.
Dong Xuebing did not look at the caller display and answered. “Hello, who’s that?”
“Huh? Did you delete your old Leader’s number?” A woman asked.
“Oh, Sister Xu. I was driving and did not look at my phone.”
Xu Yan laughed. “You had come over to the City for over a week. Did you forget about me?”
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. “No…. I had been working over the past two weekends and was too busy to contact you.”
“Don’t exert yourself. You need to take a break. Oh, are you free today?”
“I will make time for you.” Dong Xuebing slowed down his car and asked. “I am free now. How about I treat you to dinner today?”
“I am not working today. If you are free, can you come over to my place?”
“Sure. Do you want me to meet you at your family quarters or another place?”
“Come to the National Security Bureau’s Family Quarters. It is located in Nan Shan District. I will send you the address.” Xu Yan asked. “What car are you driving?”
“…. Cayenne.”
“Where’s your Mercedes? Did you change car again?”
“Haha… I changed to Cayenne for a while.”
“Alright. Take your time and don’t speed.”
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing looked at the address and drove towards Xu Yan’s apartment.
Half an hour later.
Dong Xuebing drove to an unsuspecting neighborhood behind the alley of a busy street. It is a single building neighborhood and looks quite old compared to the skyscrapers along the street. Not many people will know this building is Fen Zhou City’s National Security Bureau’s Family Quarters. Most of the City’s department family quarters are located in the western district.
Dong Xuebing drove nearer, and the guards allowed him to enter.
Dong Xuebing knew Xu Yan had informed the guardhouse. Otherwise, he cannot enter the family quarters of a sensitive department.
Unit one, sixth floor.
Ding dong… ding dong…. Dong Xuebing pressed the doorbell.
A beautiful middle-aged woman opens the door. “You are here.” She let him enter and closed the door.
“Sister Yu, I had bought something on the way.”
“Why did you bring gifts? I have everything here.”
“It’s been a while since we met, and I cannot come here empty-handed. I still want to have dinner at your place.”
“Haha… It’s alright. Make yourself at home.”
Xu Yan is wearing tight exercise attire today. Her tights show her curvy thighs, and her hair is pinned up in a bun. She is wearing a pair of running shoes and not slippers at home. Dong Xuebing secretly peeps at her voluptuous body. She is still very attractive at her age. He quickly suppresses his dirty thoughts as she is someone he respects and looks away.
After a while, Xu Yan took out two glasses of cold herbal tea.
Dong Xuebing took a sip. “Why are you looking for me today?”
Xu Yan smiles. “What’s wrong? Must I need you for something to call you?”
“That’s not what I meant.” Dong Xuebing replied.
Xu Yan sat beside Dong Xuebing and patted the back of his hand. “I do need a small favor from you, but it’s not a big deal. Also, I am living in this apartment alone and have nothing to do. I want someone to have a chat with.”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “Then you have found the right person. I am good at talking. What do you want to chat about?”
Xu Yan crossed her legs, and her thighs moved nearer to Dong Xuebing. “Let’s finish this task first, and we can chat while we are doing it.”
What is this task? Dong Xuebing’s thoughts are running wild. “What do you mean?”
“Didn’t I ask you to practice combat skills with me when we were in Da Feng County? Come, let’s do it now. You can guide and give me some pointers.” Xu Yan patted Dong Xuebing’s shoulder and stood up. “I have changed, and the room is ready. Do you need a change of clothes?” Chief Xu had told Dong Xuebing that she wanted to practice her combat skills with him after seeing him fighting against Korea’s Taekwondo Grandmaster at Da Feng County’s swimming complex. But they were busy then, and Dong Xuebing had forgotten about it. The National Security Bureau must be having a test or something, and she had brought this up again.
Dong Xuebing readily agreed. “I don’t need to change, but you must show mercy.”
Xu Yan points at him. “Do you think I don’t know about your fighting skills? I should be the one asking you to show mercy. Come, this is the room.”
Guestroom.
There are no beds in the guestroom, and it has wooden flooring. All furniture had been moved aside, and it’s spacious.
Xu Yan adjusted her clothes. “I have no problem with shooting. But I had been doing administrative work in the past few years, and my body had become rusty. Come, help me get back the feeling. If not, my old body might not take it if there are sudden missions in the future.”
Dong Xuebing complimented. “You are at your prime and not old at all.”
“Men are at their prime, and women are soybean residues at 40 years old.”
“That’s not true!” Dong Xuebing felt embarrassed, and he suspects Xu Yan knows about the banquet incident. He quickly changes the topic. “What do you want to practice?”
“Subduing the enemy with one move.”
“Alright.”
“Be careful. I will not show you any mercy.”
“Come!”
The moment Xu Yan said “Come,” her eyes changed. She took a big stride forward and grabbed Dong Xuebing’s arm, but Dong Xuebing thought nothing about it. He had worked under Xu Yan for a while and had never seen her combat skills. She is a woman in her forties, and what can she do to a young man? That’s why he did not even use his cheats, “BACK and STOP,” to counter her attack. He felt his combat skills were enough to handle her.
But Dong Xuebing regretted the next moment!
Dong Xuebing thought he could use his strength against Xu Yan and did not avoid her attack. He started putting some strength into his arm after she grabbed his arm, but it was too late. He felt his body become light and felt like he was floating in the air. The next moment, his back hit the ground, and he felt the pain. She had thrown him over her shoulders!
Damn!
Is this real?!
Xu Yan laughed. “Do you want to take me seriously now?”
Dong Xuebing got up and asked. “How can this be called rusty? Did you learn full-contact fighting?”
“Haha… I was trained in full contact fighting when I joined the National Security Bureau. But we focused on suppressing our opponents in one move.”
Dong Xuebing begins to take Xu Yan seriously. He doesn’t want to be thrown by her again as it is too embarrassing.
“Again?”
“Ok.”
Xu Yan’s eyes turned again. It’s hard to imagine a woman who had been doing administrative work for more than a decade to have this killing aura.
Bam!
Dong Xuebing laid on the floor again. Xu Yan had slammed him onto the floor with an over-shoulder throw.
Xu Yan had used the same move again, and Dong Xuebing could not counter or stop it! He felt his whole body aching.
Xu Yan shook her head. “Can you be more serious? Are you letting me win?”
Damn! I tried my best! Are you joking when you asked me to teach you combat skills?
Dong Xuebing had been modest, but he did not expect Xu Yan to be the modest one!
How can her skills be rusty?
Bullshit! Xu Yan can easily face three to five grown men at once!
But Dong Xuebing continues to spar with Xu Yan. If he wants, he can take her down easily with his power. But that will be meaningless. Sister Xu only wanted someone to practice with her to get back the feeling. So, he continues to get slammed on the floor again and again.
Xu Yan’s strength is weaker than Dong Xuebing’s, but her techniques are better. If Dong Xuebing doesn’t use BACK, it will be hard to win. It’s rare to see a middle-aged woman have such fighting skills, and his impression of her changed.
