The Schoolgirl Secret Agent

Chapter 200: Yun Jian’s Assurance

“Wha – what? Xiao Jian, you joined the Special Forces!?” Qin Yirou’s hand flew to her chest as she was completely baffled by the sudden update.
Her eyes trained unblinking at Yun Jian as the question came out in a higher pitch.

Since Yun Jian had decided to tell the truth, she was not holding back.
She held Qin Yirou’s hands and told her tenderly, “Mom, it’s my choice to enlist in the Special Forces.”

Most of Qin Yirou’s doubts were answered by Yun Jian’s reply.
It connected the dots for her regarding why Yun Jian had suddenly turned so skillful.
It was because she was trained after joining the troop!

Even her dexterity in killing the terrorists just now was the result of her training in the Special Forces.

It was as if Qin Yirou had found the key to all her doubts but at the same time, she could not accept it in an instant.

Yun Jian stood stationary in waiting for her to digest the truth.

After some time, Qin Yirou’s hands covered Yun Jian’s.
She did not know how she should be facing her daughter, feeling that she was a failure as a mother.
As her mother, she did not even know what her daughter had been up to!

Nonetheless, Qin Yirou grasped Yun Jian’s hands.
“Xiao Jian, mommy doesn’t oppose you being in the Special Forces, but you must make sure that nothing bad happens to you! With the Special Forces, I know that it’s dangerous but you can’t put yourself in danger.
Promise mommy, and I won’t stop you!”

Qin Yirou was not a mother who coddle their children and guarded them like they were a gem.
She loved her children but she respected their choices.

Of course, this was based on the premise that her children’s lives were not risked.

Yun Jian knew that she would be facing danger anytime as a Special Forces member but she nodded at Qin Yirou.
“Mom, I’ll make sure that nothing happens to me!”

There were risks in being a Special Forces member but compared to the variety of organizations she had to face in her past life, it was almost insignificant.
Yet, there would be a day when she will return to her past life’s environment, although the people who want her, Slaying God, dead would not even be born yet!

“Mm!” Qin Yirou pulled Yun Jian close to her and rested her head against the latter before patting it.

To Qin Yirou, no matter how mature her Xiao Jian was, she was still a child.

…

Returning to school, Yun Jian had several days of peace.

It was just that there was a rumor in school that had caused a commotion in Longmen City.

A lively chatterbox boy in class told his classmates during a break, like he had been there himself, “My aunt was there when the terror attack happened in the North Gate Mall!”

“Wow, for real? I heard that a group of terrorists barged in and chopped people with machetes that day!” Someone chorused.

The incident rippled in Longmen City, even the students in the school were talking about it.

“Of course it’s real.
My aunt said that she was standing on the second floor and thought that she was doomed but guess what happened? The terrorists were all killed by a teenage girl fifteen to sixteen years old!”

“Holy smokes, the girl is fierce!”

When the boy began talking about the incident, there were people chorusing him instantly.

The protagonist, Yun Jian, who had just come back from the washroom, passed the group of chattering peers coincidentally.

“Hey, Xiao Jian, I remember you went to North Gate Mall to shop with your mom that day, too, right?” Chen Xinyi was engrossed with the boy’s recount and suddenly recalled that Yun Jian had told her about going to the mall to buy her mother clothes on that day.

The careless mention, however, attracted everyone’s gaze towards Yun Jian.
