    ☆, little wolfdog 14

    When these words were said with a sense of ridicule, people who were not familiar with Yao Ji would probably think that she was joking, but Shen Xi looked at her calm eyes and understood that she was definitely not joking.

    He lowered his eyes slightly and said in a low voice: “The eldest lady asked me before if I had been in the army.” Without a clue, he began to talk about his identity and origin. Yao Ji understood what he meant and listened quietly to Shen Xi’s words without saying a word.

    Shen Xi was an orphan. He was abandoned outside the hospital when he was very young. He was later taken in by a local welfare institution and stayed in the welfare hospital until he was sixteen years old.When he was sixteen, he joined the army.He’s motivation is very simple. It’s not about protecting the family and the country, nor is he trying to climb up the ranks as a soldier. He just doesn’t have the extra money to continue studying, so he can only go north to join the army.

    He left the place where he grew up – an old and narrow courtyard, packed his bags, and never went back.

    Is that orphanage considered my home?Shen Xi has thought about this problem many times. He grew up there until he was sixteen, but he had very few good memories left to him.It wasn’t until he joined the army that Shen Xi truly felt a sense of belonging.

    Because of this, no matter how beautiful the dream is, it will be painful when you wake up from the dream.

    Probably due to his talent, Shen Xi, who became a soldier, soon showed that he had abilities far beyond his peers. Fighting, lurking, sniping, reconnaissance… He could practice every skill he learned in the army to the top level, and the troops he was assigned to also changed along the way. Finally, he was transferred to a secret army and became a top soldier sneaking in the dark.

    “Although I have left there, I still can’t tell you the name of the unit,” Shen Xi explained. “It’s not that I don’t trust the eldest lady. If I know too much, I’m afraid it will threaten the eldest lady’s safety.”

    Yao Ji nodded. She had actually heard of secret forces like this for a long time. Around the world, I believe that most countries have such existences in violent organizations.Yao Ji was not interested in the situation of that army. Shen Xi was hunted down, and it must not have been the military’s instruction.

    “Yes,” Shen Xi nodded, “In the military’s files, I have long been a dead person.”

    It was two years ago that Shen Xi and his comrades were ordered to carry out a mission to transfer tainted witnesses back to the country.That witness was involved in a major illegal arms smuggling case and was of very high importance.Therefore, Shen Xi’s superiors sent a total of eight people, including Shen Xi, to perform the task as employees of the security company.

    They returned from Europe on a freighter and encountered more than a dozen assassinations along the way. Unfortunately, two of Shen Xi’s comrades died and Shen Xi was also injured.More than a month later, they finally arrived at the port of City H. However, while negotiating with the people who came to pick them up, they were suddenly attacked and the entire army was wiped out.

    Shen Xi originally died in that accident, but it was his best comrade in the army who desperately protected his escape, and he escaped by jumping into the sea.He hid in a small fishing village for half a month. When he returned to the mainland, the matter had been determined.

    Newspaper reports were of a gang fight and seven deaths.Later, Shen Xi obtained internal reports from the military through his previous connections, and found out that they were considered to be betrayed by someone within the group and attacked their companions, resulting in the death of the tainted witness and the complete failure of the mission.

    “So, you were tricked by your own people?” Yao Ji frowned.

    “Yes.” Shen Xi’s eyes were serious. If this were not the case, how could he and his comrades put down their guard and be stabbed severely in the back.And those agents who betrayed them also came with disguised identities. Although Shen Xi had seen their appearance, without the support of huge intelligence sources, he could not find out their true identities.

    But after two years of investigation, he already had a rough idea: “The arms smuggling case was related to a big shot in the ministry. People from the military and financial circles were involved. Most of the money from the smuggling was used as political donations to pave the way for that big shot.” Shen Xi paused, “I said before that someone from the Jiang family was involved in the scandal of political donations, and that’s what I was referring to.”

    It’s just that although Shen Xi found part of the truth, he suffered from the lack of evidence.With his current strength, it was obviously irrational to confront the man behind the scenes, so he planned to start from the Jiang family, which is why he followed Deng Kuan.

    He never gave up on finding out the truth, and the enemy never gave up on hunting him down.In fact, those people thought Shen Xi was dead at first, otherwise they would not have manipulated him into a dead person. However, Shen Xi revealed his identity during the investigation. As the only witness, it was discovered that he was still alive, and naturally he was ushered in a steady stream of assassinations.

    “I am… a person who cannot see the light.” Shen Xi looked at Yao Ji, his face still had no expression, neither indignant nor sad, he just said calmly, “Whether it is my name or my identity, from the day I was deemed dead, even if it is true, it can only become false.”

    Therefore, in the past two years, he has been living in a homeless place and wandering around. He often stays in one place for less than two or three days before being forced to flee because his whereabouts are exposed.He was used to walking alone in the dark. Whether he was injured or his life was hanging by a thread, it would not be unusual if he was found dead in a remote alley one day.

    The only regret is that no one will know who he is until he dies.

    Shen Xi thought that the reason why he confessed in front of Yao Ji was probably because he didn’t want to leave quietly like this. After all, he still couldn’t give up completely.

    “I’m sorry,” Shen Xi whispered, “The reason why I agreed to be your bodyguard was because I wanted to use the power of the Jiang family, but I will not stay in the Jiang family, and I can’t.” He stood up, his black eyes calm, “So… let’s stop here.”
