After Lin Xiaoyao left the living area, he drove back to where he lived.

"Why did you come back so late today?" When Lin Xiaoyao returned home, Liu Qianqian was watching a TV series in the living room. Seeing Lin Xiaoyao open the door and enter the house, Liu Qianqian got up and walked to Lin Xiaoyao's side and asked.

After Lin Xiaoyao put down the key, he said to Liu Qianqian: "A friend of mine has been transferred from the United States to Donghai City, and I will go to the airport to pick up the flight that will land at ten o'clock tonight." ”

After speaking, Lin Xiaoyao said to Liu Qianqian: "It's so late, why don't you sleep." "Waiting for you. Liu Qianqian took Lin Xiaoyao's hand and said, "Are you hungry?"

After Lin Xiaoyao heard Liu Qianqian's words, he did feel a little hungry. Liu Qianqian seemed to read from Lin Xiaoyao's eyes that Lin Xiaoyao was hungry, pointed to the kitchen and said to Lin Xiaoyao: "If you are hungry, do it yourself, and by the way, make me a copy too." ”

After Lin Xiaoyao heard Liu Qianqian's words, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. "You asked me if I was hungry, not to make me something to eat. Lin Xiaoyao looked at Liu Qianqian speechlessly and said.

"Of course not. Liu Qianqian said to Lin Xiaoyao, "Go soon." I'm so hungry. Didn't eat anything for dinner. ”

Lin Xiaoyao walked into the kitchen speechlessly, took out the meat and vegetables he had bought before from the refrigerator, and began to cook, while Liu Qianqian continued to sit in the living room and watch the TV series.

Half an hour later, two steaming servings of miso ramen were ready. Liu Qianqian saw Lin Xiaoyao coming out of the kitchen with two bowls of miso ramen, and immediately walked to Lin Xiaoyao's side, took one of the bowls, and then sat down at the dining table, picked up chopsticks and ate it in a big gulp.

"That's right, Qianqian. I have something to tell you. Lin Xiaoyao said to Liu Qianqian while eating ramen.

After Liu Qianqian swallowed a mouthful of ramen, she looked at Lin Xiaoyao and said, "What's the matter?"

Lin Xiaoyao put down his chopsticks and said to Liu Qianqian with a serious face: "I have a four-year-old daughter. Her mother took her back to Donghai City today. I'm going to pick them up at the airport tonight. ”

When Liu Qianqian heard Lin Xiaoyao's words, she was stunned. Liu Qianqian never thought that Lin Xiaoyao would tell him that he had a four-year-old daughter.

After Lin Xiaoyao saw the change in the expression on Liu Qianqian's face, he immediately said to Liu Qianqian: "Actually, I was entrusted by a friend of mine to take care of their mother and daughter, and my friend died in an accident before her daughter was born. Before he died, he asked me to help him take care of his family. ”

Then, Lin Xiaoyao told Liu Qianqian about the whole thing, but in the story that Lin Xiaoyao told Liu Qianqian, Leif met him when he was studying in the United States, and Leif died because of an experimental mistake and inhaled an excessive amount of toxic gas, which caused multiple organs in the body to fail.

After listening to Lin Xiaoyao's story, Liu Qianqian looked at Lin Xiaoyao and said, "So before his death, that friend of yours asked you to help him take care of his family, and then you recognized his daughter Shirley as your goddaughter, and always made Shirley think that you are her biological father?"

Lin Xiaoyao nodded, and then said to Liu Qianqian: "Natasha applied to be transferred to the branch in Donghai City this time, mainly to investigate what went wrong with Leif's experiment back then. Because every part of that experiment was determined after I studied it with him in the company where I interned together. It was only later that I had to assist my mentor with other experiments, so Leif worked with the others on that experiment. ”

"Later, after Leif had an accident, I did that experiment with a few classmates who were interning at that company, but everything went smoothly and I didn't find out why the experiment went wrong. Natasha suspects that Reif's misguided experiment was intentional. In the course of the investigation, Natasha discovered that a person who had entered the company for an internship at the same time as Leif, and who was studying a very similar topic, had returned to the company the night before Leif's accident and entered the laboratory to use Leif's experimental equipment. The next day, when Leif conducted the experiment, something happened immediately. ”

After listening to Lin Xiaoyao's words, Liu Qianqian said to Lin Xiaoyao: "What are you going to do in the future? Do you keep hiding it from Shirley? I think Shirley will always know the truth one day." ”

"You can hide it for as long as you can. Leif's experience when he was a child, in fact, is very similar to Shirley, Leif was very young, his parents died in a traffic accident, Leif grew up in an orphanage, and lacked the love of his family since he was a child, resulting in Leif's personality being a little withdrawn, Natasha and I don't want Shirley to be the same as Leif in the future. Lin Xiaoyao said to Liu Qianqian.

After speaking, Lin Xiaoyao fell into silence for a while. Moon Rabbit They didn't know the real reason why Natasha was transferred to Donghai City, but how could Lin Xiaoyao not know. After sending Natasha and Shirley to the living quarters, Lin Xiaoyao found a drug used to slow the spread of chronic toxins in Natasha's luggage.

Once this chronic toxin enters the human body, it cannot be completely removed, and even if you take medication, it can only be relieved for a year and a half at most. On the way home, Lin Xiaoyao had already found out that Natasha had carried out a special mission a year ago, and after returning to the U.S. branch, he had started taking that drug.

In other words, Natasha only has half a year left. So Natasha applied to be transferred to Donghai City in order to entrust Shirley to Lin Xiaoyao's care, and also to find the traitor who betrayed Leif back then. For this person, Lin Xiaoyao has always paid attention to it, it was he who betrayed Leif's identity back then, and Leif was captured and killed. After the incident, the traitor fled without a trace, and it was only in the last two months that it was reported that he had passed through special channels. I came to Tokai City.

After eating the ramen, Lin Xiaoyao went back to his room to rest.

"In half a year, Natasha has only half a year left to accompany Shirley. Lin Xiaoyao lay on his bed, looked at the ceiling and muttered to himself.

On the other side, after Lin Xiaoyao left the living area, Natasha put Shirley to sleep, and then sat alone on a chair on the balcony, watching the night in the sky. "Leif, I'm running out of time, I can accompany Shirley for half a year at most, and I'll go to you. Natasha looked at the stars in the sky and said with a smile, "If I could, I would have liked to spend a few more years with her, but ......"

On that special mission a year ago, Natasha infiltrated a terrorist organization that had been fighting her for many years, and based in Las Vegas, USA, to steal a list of members of the terrorist organization lurking in the United States. Just when Natasha got the list and was about to retreat, her whereabouts were discovered, and the members of the terrorist organization in the stronghold surrounded her, although in the end Natasha successfully broke through and returned to the American branch, but in the process of breaking out, Natasha was close to a member of a terrorist organization and injected with that chronic toxin.

After the toxin entered Natasha's body, it quickly spread along with the blood in Natasha's body.

When Natasha returned to the U.S. branch, she immediately received treatment to control the spread of the toxin, but she was unable to remove the toxin from her body.

Later, Natasha was transferred out of her former department and into the logistics support department. Natasha thought that she would not be able to help Leif avenge her revenge for the rest of her life, until a month and a half ago, Natasha heard that the traitor who betrayed Leif appeared in Tokai City.

The people in the American branch also knew that Natasha's greatest wish was to avenge Leif, so Natasha applied for transfer to the Asian branch, and the management of the American branch immediately approved it, after all, Natasha didn't have much time, and the people in the American branch didn't want Natasha to leave with regrets.

And after Lin Xiaoyao retrieved the files of the missions that Natasha had carried out in the last year and a half through his own authority, the people from the American branch contacted Lin Xiaoyao, hoping that Lin Xiaoyao could assist Natasha and find the traitor. The traitor not only betrayed Leif, but also leaked a list of members of the U.S. Branch's Secret Operations Team, resulting in the killing of a large number of agents embedded in major organizations.

This time his whereabouts are discovered, and the U.S. branch hopes that Lin Xiaoyao can assist Natasha in bringing the traitor to justice.

The next morning, Lin Xiaoyao had planned to go to the regional police station to check on the progress of the case, but he did not go because of the pangolins following up. Lin Xiaoyao drove to the parking lot of the building, and then went upstairs to the base in Donghai City.

As soon as I entered the base, I saw Shirley and Moon Rabbit sitting in their places drawing.

"Dad. When Shirley saw Lin Xiaoyao, she immediately got up and pounced on Lin Xiaoyao. Moon Rabbit and the others also learned through the senior management of the Asian branch that Natasha was transferred to Donghai City this time to arrest the traitor, and Moon Rabbit also knew about Leif, so after seeing Shirley, Moon Rabbit took the initiative to help Natasha take care of Shirley, so that Natasha could go to investigate.

"Did you tell your fiancée about Shirley?" Moon Rabbit asked in a low voice as she walked up to Lin Xiaoyao. When Moon Rabbit knew that Lin Xiaoyao actually had a fiancée, she was also surprised. Moon Rabbit knew that Lin Xiaoyao's identity was not simple, but he didn't expect that Lin Xiaoyao, like the children of many big families, had already been planned for the future life path since he was a child.

"Yes, but I told her that Leif died in an experimental accident. I still don't want her to know about the existence of the organization too soon. The less people know about this, the safer. Lin Xiaoyao said to the Moon Rabbit.

After letting Shirley continue to paint with Moon Rabbit, Lin Xiaoyao walked into the conference room, and Natasha was looking at the information projected on the wall by the projector.

"Did Shirley let you go so soon?" said Natasha with a smile when she saw Lin Xiaoyao walk into the conference room.

"With the moon rabbit to paint with her, it's a trivial thing for me to get out. Lin Xiaoyao said to Natasha. Then Lin Xiaoyao walked up to Natasha and asked, "How long is the specific time?"

"Five and a half months. Natasha didn't seem surprised at all and said to Lin Xiaoyao.
