Chapter 4: Two year job leave

“We heard about what happened to your ex-wife. Condolences.” the head of operations said and Li Shinyi nodded his head in thanks.

His whole countenance was dim compared to how he usually was. There was no light in those eyes- and he seemed sluggish.

“The living must continue on- remember that, Li Shinyi.” the latter nodded, and finally got into the point of his visit.

“Ah, you want to apply for a leave. Considering the situation right now- we can allow it. However, first you have to do a mission for us.”

“Two years.” The director looked at Shinyi- before signing the documents the latter had prepared.

“Allowed. But if this mission fails- best believe that agreement can become void.” Li Shinyi firmly held the paper- and went out to do his mission.

He has to do it fast- his child is waiting for him.

The target this time is the owner of a big Pharmaceutical company. She’s living in Canada- so Shinyi immediately flew out.

He was very direct during this solo mission- figuring out the enemy for half a month and then directly tampering with her food at a critical moment- staging a road accident which successfully killed her.

It's really nifty what a bit of insulin can do to a normal person's body.

He thought it was over- but he was ambushed by a few people on his way to the extraction point so he had to fight them too.

He earned a gunshot wound to his shoulder and a slice of a knife to his side.

He had fended off every single one and had people clean up for him. After getting stitched up- he immediately flew home.

He has to get his daughter from Lev after all- he had delayed it for so long.

“What do you mean he flew off to Russia?! With my child?!” He screamed at the phone. He just landed in the Mainland- and now an operative told him that fucker took his daughter to Russia without saying anything to him?!

“Favour- can you help me get there as fast as possible?” it was rare for the ‘Doctor’ to ask them for help- so of course they were willing to make arrangements.

After all, this is one of their best operatives. Of course, what is the best way to get to Russia fast?

“Hello, I am Officer Chevech- this is Andorra, my fighter jet. Please come and make preparations.” Of course, it is via a Russian Fighter Jet.

He geared up, and entered the jet with the pilot. It seats two people so for the long journey the two were silent.

They refueled mid-air twice- and finally arrived at the airbase in Russia. The W.I.O already greeted the people there for Li Shinyi so he didn’t have to do anything else.

His gloomy figure took the keys from a soldier to the car prepared for him-

An Aurus Senat, which was an armoured Sedan- an official Presidential car.

He really did not care at the moment what car they gave him, he just wants to get his daughter back.

“Dariy Lev Ilyich Essen…! I’ll fuck you up!” he sneered, before stepping on the gas towards the location of the Essen territory.

When his car approached the gates, he stopped for a while and beeped his horn.

The security reported that a man outside looking for Lev. The man looked up from his documents- asking who it was.

“Li Shinyi-is what he said sir.” The man spoke in Russian, looking at Lev with an awkward look.

“He’s been out there for an hour?”

“Yes sir.”

“How did he even get here? That idiot, is he frozen to death?”

“He came by car, sir. He has been yelling at the intercom for a while.” By car huh? The man finally told his Butler to let that fool in, standing from his seat to meet the troublemaker.

Lev stood at the huge entrance door which was on top of a few flights of stairs as the Aurus parked in front of them.

He raised his eyebrows slightly- an Aurus, something you cannot touch even if you have the money because it is a presidential car- specially designed and maintained for the protection of the President and high-ranking officials.

Hm, just who is this person working for?

“You scum…!” The anger in those eyes were deep- but Lev had seen a lot of angry people before, and anger coming from a small man who wasn’t even half his size- was not threatening at all.

“Let’s speak inside. I don’t think it’s good for your brain to freeze.”

“You…!”

The inside of this palace was very elegant- smells of royalty and money. Anywhere you lay your eyes, there was an expensive trinket, portraits or busts. The floors gleamed and shone like mirrors- reflecting the figures who sat in the visitor’s lounge.

Normally, Lev should not take the guest to the receiving area- but he didn’t want to receive Lin Shiyi into his house at all-

Who wants to receive this fella huh?

“Where is my daughter?!” Li Shinyi was not an idiot- being entertained in the receiving area was a sign of disrespect. He learned a lot from his missions and Kovich- but he didn’t mind it at all.

“None of your concern.” The indifferent answer made Li Shinyi even angrier- how dare this low-life treat the situation as calmly as he does?! He took other people’s children with him- without permission!

“Are you sick?! Why would you take my daughter out of the country without telling me?!”

“Your daughter? Hah, last time I checked she has my surname.”

“Dariy Lev Ilych Essen…!” The man crossed his arms and gave Li Shinyi a mocking look. His eyes that always looked at him as if he was dirt on the roadside- looked at him again as such.

“Can you give her the life she deserves? A useless father- why should I give her to you? It’s better to have me raise her- right? So leave- she’s young, she’ll forget you soon.” Li Shinyi’s anger reached a point of no return. His daughter was the only thing that kept him going- she was the treasure in his eyes, the sweetness in heart- how can he let others take her away?!

He stood up, and knocked over the vase on the table in front of them.

“Tch, that was expensive- can you pay for that?”

“I know you always look down on me because of my humble origins.”

“So you know, so scram.”

“I may not be able to provide my daughter with all the fancy things you can give her- but as her father, do you really think I will give her to an unrelated person? Huh? Am I insane?” Lev frowned at the word ‘unrelated’- after all, he took care of this little baby even before he and Menqing married each other. Where was Li Shinyi at that time? He was out doing whatever only god knows while Menqing balanced her work and her responsibilities as a mother with much difficulty.

Did Li Shinyi help her? No! The one who helped and loved them was him- Lev. So for this worthless mongrel to say he was ‘unrelated’ really strikes a chord in Lev’s patience.

He already lost Menqing- would he lose this child too? The family he comes home to has been destroyed- only this little angel remained. Now this shit called Li Shinyi wants to take away HIS daughter? The audacity!

“She’s my daughter! Her surname is my surname.” Lev growled at him- eyes fierce and dark with rage.

Li Shinyi gritted his teeth and squared up with him, looking up at the tall man in anger.

“She’s my daughter- my blood runs in her veins!”

“Shuyi is Menqing’s child and she entrusted her to me- you can’t take her away. Anyway, how fit of a father are you? Can you provide her with a good life?” Money- it was always money and questioning his love and ability to protect his daughter!

Always nitpicking- always doubting him. He doesn’t know anything- how dare he always look down on him- Li Shinyi?!

“You damn Mischling!” Bang! Li Shinyi was lifted by the collar quite easily by the man’s big hand and slammed on the nearby marble table- making him groan in pain.

“What did you just call me?” The man looked at him with sharp, cold and piercing blue eyes covered with a layer of aggression. His big hands gripped Li Shinyi’s collar tightly- the veins in them were quite threatening to look at.

Lev was a big man- and he loved to keep fit so he had an explosive body. It should scare anyone- this does not exclude Li Shinyi.

But he had always been a death-seeking idiot all his life- doubling down on the offense with a smirk on his face the Lev wished to wipe the floor with.

“Half breed. You sound so noble and yet you’re still a Mischling!”

“Li Shinyi, I will fuck you up believe me!” the hand moved to his throat- and the man pressed Li Shinyi down- determined to let him feel the fear of provoking Lev.

He really didn’t have the mind to kill him- but Li Shinyi just suddenly coughed up blood- it dyed his white shirt and Lev’s hand- some even landed on Lev’s face.

“Li Shinyi?” Did he press too much? The other male harshly gasped- in a hurry, he didn’t let them operate on the bullet in his shoulders- he would not be able to go home.

So it was still lodged in his shoulders.

He planned to see his daughter first before seeking help from his colleagues in the mainland to help him take the bullet off. It was stuck in his shoulders quite deeply- and seemed to be near a vein.

The adrenaline did not make him feel anything-and the anaesthetic from the stitches on his side made it possible for his body not to feel pain for a while- now that he was hit, his body finally reacted and the pain that came was unbearable.

Blood pooled on the marble table- soaking his clothes. Lev frowned and touched his shoulders- which made the person gasp sharply.

“Don’t touch…” he groaned- trying to pull himself up only to tear the wound on his side. He gritted his teeth and collapsed on the table.

Lev finally knew the situation was not optimistic- he seemed to be telling him to stay awake- he was calling for people. But Li Shinyi couldn’t hear him- the pain drowned his consciousness and the body that was tired and battered for months and months of exhaustion, depression and finally fatigue from the eighteen hour flight back home plus the eight hour flight rushing here, finally couldn’t help but shut down.

"Hey, Li Shinyi! "Damn it, are you going to die in his house?! What would Shuyi say if you died too?!

He cursed under his breath and carried the other man quite easily.
