Chapter 1334: Direct Guard Team, Chen Jun, who wants to experience the fireworks of the world, takes
Long Shuai looked at Chen Jun with a soft and loving gaze, patted his shoulder gently, and said in a gentle but unquestionable tone: "Of course, you really should have a good rest for a while." Long Shuai paused slightly, his eyes revealing deep respect and concern for Chen Jun. "Take a month's vacation and go back to spend time with your family. Since you entered the military academy for further studies, you have served as a naval instructor, an air force instructor, and became a chief designer with outstanding military achievements. You have devoted yourself to the cause of the country and it has been too long since you went home. Your contributions to the country are seen and remembered by everyone. Those who are capable should work harder, but this is also what the country owes you."
"Take a good month to rest and fully recover both physically and mentally. Only by recuperating can you be in better shape for future work."
Chen Jun nodded slightly and did not refuse.
His eyes revealed his deep longing for his family. He had indeed not seen his wife and children for a long time.
At this moment, more than any glorious recognition ceremony, what he longed for most in his heart was to return to that home filled with warmth and love. It was precisely because of this intense longing that he rushed back without stopping, working day and night, to meticulously handle the finishing touches of the work at hand.
Mr. Ye standing by also keenly sensed Chen Jun's eagerness to return home. He understood very well the feeling of being under tremendous pressure and longing to return to ordinary life and relax with his family.
Mr. Ye knows very well that for every soldier who silently contributes to the country, home will always be a spiritual harbor.
"Chen Jun, you can go without worry. I'll discuss follow-up matters with the Air Force commanders and arrange for the right person to take over. Just enjoy this hard-earned vacation." Elder Ye, perceiving Chen Jun's thoughts, made the decision decisively and calmly. Afterward, Elder Ye personally went to Old Ding to inform him of Chen Jun's leave, noting the important news of his promotion to General.
Old Ding was so shocked when he heard this that his eyes widened. He had never imagined that Chen Jun, who had been constantly creating miracles in the military field, would be promoted to general in an instant, and be on the same level as himself.
In his memory, becoming a general in his early twenties was an unprecedented feat in the military history of Yan State.
However, Old Ding quickly recovered and firmly assured Chen Jun of his leave, promising to properly arrange all remaining work so that Chen Jun could take his leave without any worries. He understood that Chen Jun had endured a great deal of pressure for the country's cause and was truly exhausted, both physically and mentally.
That day, Chen Jun returned to his residence and began packing his luggage.
After all this busy work, he felt as if all his strength had been drained from his body and mind, and exhaustion washed over him like a tide. As usual, he felt a sense of emptiness when he didn't have a good chat with An Ran. At this moment, his longing for home became even stronger. Last night, he had been lost in a beautiful dream. In it, his two little ones had learned to walk. They took a stumbling yet cheerful step, excitedly running towards him. The clear cries of "Dad" lingered in his ears like the most beautiful melody in the world.
This warm and beautiful dream stayed with him all night. The next morning, Chen Jun briefly explained a few things to Yajie'er and didn't return to the lab. He deliberately changed into casual clothes and, without alerting anyone, quietly walked towards the entrance of the air force base like an ordinary traveler.
He fully expected to leave quietly, but as soon as he reached the door, he saw a major already waiting there.
The major stood tall and straight with a focused look in his eyes. When he saw Chen Jun coming out, he immediately trotted forward with high spirits and saluted Chen Jun with a standard and solemn military salute. His movements were quick and decisive, showing his military demeanor.
"Comrade Chief..." Before the major could finish his words, Chen Jun simply nodded and tried to walk past. Unexpectedly, the major reached out to grab his luggage bag.
"What are you doing?" Chen Jun looked surprised. He looked up and down at the strange major in front of him, feeling very puzzled by his actions and full of doubts.
The major finally realized his behavior was a bit abrupt and quickly saluted again. He said in a loud and clear voice, "Commander, I have been assigned by the military headquarters to lead your security team. My name is Xu Zhengyang, and I will also serve as your driver. I will do my best to ensure your safety and travel."
Chen Jun was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that Marshal Long seemed to have mentioned that as a general, he was now required to have a security guard according to regulations. Just like his adoptive father, General Gao, as the head of the Southeast Military Region, he was surrounded by four well-trained security guards, two experienced drivers, and military officials who were responsible for handling all matters.
Such guard members serve only one person and remain highly vigilant 24 hours a day, ready to be on call at any time, just like the secretarial team specially prepared by a large company for the president, to fully protect the work and life of the leader.
Given Chen Jun's rank, he should normally be accompanied by at least eight civil servants, with a significant number of security guards. However, given his unique status and the sensitive nature of his work, too many people accompanying him would likely attract unnecessary attention and increase the risk of exposure. Therefore, after careful consideration, only the on-call security captain, Xu Zhengyang, was dispatched.
"People from the Guard Regiment?" Chen Jun frowned slightly, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.
"Yes, Chief, I will stay close to you from now on. I will respond to any instructions you give me immediately and be on duty 24 hours a day without slacking off." Xu Zhengyang answered firmly, his eyes revealing his firm determination and great respect for his duty.
Chen Jun looked Xu Zhengyang up and down. Though not tall, the young man exuded a unique aura, his eyes revealing determination and courage. From his every move, Chen Jun could keenly sense that he possessed strong military qualities. After all, he was a member of the Supreme Guard, having undergone rigorous screening and intensive professional training, shouldering the sacred mission of protecting the leader's safety, much like the exceptionally skilled and impressive Zhonghai bodyguards in the movies.
However, Chen Jun didn't need anyone to follow him around all the time. He looked calm and said in a calm tone, "Just go to the hacker base and wait for me. You don't need to follow me today. I want to go alone. I just want to quietly enjoy this rare time alone."
After saying that, Chen Jun ignored Xu Zhengyang's astonished look, carried the luggage bag steadily, and walked forward with firm steps. His resolute look seemed as if he had made some unshakable determination.
This was the first time Xu Zhengyang had encountered such a leader. When he saw Chen Jun just now, he was truly shocked, his mind blanking out, completely stunned by Chen Jun's youth. This was a general. In the long history of Yan Nation's military, it was rare for someone so young to be promoted to the rank of general. He almost couldn't believe his eyes. However, when he finally came to his senses and revealed his identity, the man seemed to not want to be disturbed and simply walked away.
Xu Zhengyang was stunned for a moment, then quickly caught up with him, saying earnestly and eagerly, "Commander, you hold a special position and shoulder an important mission for the country. I am following you to protect your personal safety in all aspects. This is my sacred duty, and I must not slack off in the slightest."
"Are you strong?" Chen Jun suddenly turned around and, with a swift movement like a dragon's claw, grabbed Xu Zhengyang's throat with a fierce momentum. This move was so fast and powerful that it seemed as if an invisible pressure echoed in the air.
Xu Zhengyang was a martial arts expert, a veteran of countless battles. His extensive combat experience had imprinted many moves deeply into his muscle memory. As soon as Chen Jun launched his attack, he dodged backwards with the swiftness and agility of a spring, his reaction speed astonishing.
However, what surprised him was that as soon as his heels touched the ground, Chen Jun came up to him closely like a shadow, and with one smooth move, he grabbed his neck accurately in an instant.
Xu Zhengyang instinctively wanted to fight back, his muscles tensing in preparation for a defensive move. But before he could even move, Chen Jun easily lifted him up with one hand, his feet instantly leaving the ground like a struggling bird.
At this moment, Xu Zhengyang was in a state of panic. He clearly felt that with Chen Jun's speed and strength, he could easily crush his throat before he could counterattack. In other words, he had almost no chance of resistance in front of Chen Jun. He seemed so small and powerless in the face of his powerful strength.
Xu Zhengyang, a squadron leader within the Central and Southern Guards, was a disciple of the authentic Shaolin sect, not the commercialized Shaolin Temple. He had practiced martial arts in Shaolin since childhood, developing exceptional skills and standing as a leader within the guard corps. Without these skills, his abilities and performance would not have earned him the crucial task of protecting Chen Jun.
But he never expected that in just one second, he was subdued so easily in front of Chen Jun.
Even after Chen Jun put him down steadily, Xu Zhengyang's mind was still in a state of confusion. He stood there blankly, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
Chen Jun looked at him calmly, his expression calm, and said in a soothing tone, "Your reflexes are quite good, better than the average special forces soldier. I can see that you are well-trained. However, you should be aware that I have another identity. I also have deep roots in the special forces field and can be said to be a veteran of special forces. If someone really can hurt me, even if you want to protect me, I'm afraid it won't be of much use."
"So, there's not much point in you following me. I'm more accustomed to acting alone and enjoying the freedom and tranquility."
Xu Zhengyang was stunned. He had only heard Long Shuai briefly and generally describe Chen Jun's deeds. He knew he was a soldier who had created countless legends in the military field, was now the chief designer of military industry, and was also a special forces soldier. However, he didn't know much about the specific details or Chen Jun's formidable strength. He had never expected Chen Jun to be so skilled. He claimed to be the ancestor of special forces soldiers. Could he really be so powerful? He couldn't help but feel a hint of doubt, but more of awe for Chen Jun's strength.
"I'll give you the address. Go directly to the hacker base and wait. You'll understand everything then. I want to go home alone and enjoy this rare time with my family." Chen Jun said, ignoring Xu Zhengyang and continuing to walk forward with his luggage. He didn't mean to embarrass the dedicated guard; he simply preferred a quiet, solitary journey home. Admiring the scenery along the way and experiencing the everyday world was a great way for him to heal his fatigue and cultivate his spirit. It was also one of the few precious opportunities for a soldier to experience ordinary life.
Chen Jun enjoyed the feeling of rushing home alone. He didn't want to be treated like a high-ranking official, enjoying road closures and protection all the way home. Deep down, he didn't consider himself some kind of high-ranking, special official, and he was completely averse to such high-profile and luxurious treatment.
Besides, he was going home, so why make such a big deal about it? At this moment, he just wanted to be an ordinary husband and father, not that brilliant general or commander who commanded thousands of troops.
Only when you set out on the road alone can you truly experience the feelings of ordinary people and find the purest source of motivation deep in your heart.
Chen Jun hadn't walked far when he noticed Xu Zhengyang following him from a distance. He shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, thinking, "Okay, this is their job. As long as it doesn't cause too much of a stir, it's fine." He knew Xu Zhengyang was just fulfilling his duties, and while he felt a little helpless, he couldn't be too critical.
That day, Chen Jun took a car to the main train station. It had been a long time since he'd experienced this. Since his promotion to lieutenant general, he'd mostly traveled by helicopter, flying directly to and from naval and air force bases. He enjoyed the convenience and efficiency, but it also gradually alienated him from ordinary life.
This time, he decided to experience the pace and atmosphere of life of ordinary people.
"Day after day, facing weapons, life and death, risking my life... It's true that only in a place filled with the daily grind of life can one truly feel the meaning of struggle." Chen Jun's heart was overwhelmed with emotion. As he gazed at the scenery passing by out the car window, his thoughts drifted away. He recalled the days of sweating on the training grounds, the moments of outwitting the enemy on the battlefield. Wasn't all this sacrifice made to protect these ordinary yet precious moments of life before him?
At this moment, Chen Jun, carrying his luggage, had already boarded Bus No. 3. The bus was packed, and the crowded carriage was filled with a lively and warm atmosphere. Men and women were beaming with smiles, some chatting quietly, others playing with their children, thoroughly enjoying the beauty of life.
Looking at these people, Chen Jun knew that these were the people he had always defended. It was precisely because of these soldiers, bearing heavy burdens and silently dedicating themselves to the cause, that these people's ordinary yet precious happiness was achieved. To Chen Jun, all of this was incredibly worthwhile, and his heart was filled with comfort and satisfaction.
Arriving at the train station, he saw a prominent sign reading "Military Personnel Priority" and couldn't help but smile. He recalled once seeing someone object to military personnel priority. Someone had righteously retorted: "They get priority on the battlefield, they get priority fighting floods and fires, they're always the first to rush into danger. Why shouldn't they get priority in line?" Soldiers defend the safety of the nation and its people with their lives and blood. This priority is a well-earned honor.
"There are a total of ten guards, hiding in the crowd, all of them are elite..." Chen Jun thought silently in his heart. With his keen perception, he has noticed that more and more guards are following him.
He knew that no matter what trouble he encountered, these guards hiding in the dark would immediately come out like gods descending from the sky to solve it for him.
Chen Jun smiled wryly, shook his head, and pretended not to notice, going straight to the ticket line. Although soldiers had priority, he was traveling in civilian clothes this time and felt no need to use his military status for special treatment.
