“Your past built the present you, but it shouldn’t be a shackle for your future.” A peerless assassin, codename Hua, received her last big mission after nearly died in an avalanche. Everyone knew that the Nan Family had a long missing daughter who only recently returned. She was raised in the village and didn’t have common sense of the nobility daughter, inviting mockery all over the Green Planet. Hearing various jokes about this daughter, they only shook their head and feel that she was not worthy of the Nan Family. However… Those who bullied her were bullied back by others suddenly. Those who wanted to hurt her suddenly got oppressed. Those who tried to harm her fell unlucky and got hurt instead. Nan Hua watched this all with an innocent look. They didn’t know that the one who put them in this predicament is precisely the unsightly young miss they looked down upon. Everything was doing well, but why did her supposed indifferent fiancé paid so much attention to her? Shouldn’t he just focus on the examination and his career in the military? A while later, Nan Hua saw Long Qian Xing staring at her gently and smiled back. ... Story set in fictional world with some advanced technology.

Old Master Nan walked out of the store and headed to the phone store that had been closed. There were some damages on the counter and the people had been evacuated while the curtain was drawn to prevent other people from seeing what happened inside.
"What happened?"
"This store is used to slip out the information chip along with several other stores." The commander on duty had a black face. "There are some other organizations who tried to intercept but they end up fighting covertly before finally using weapons to grab it by force."
"Without preparation?" Old Master Nan arched his eyebrows.
Not many organizations were so stupid that they would make their moves without any preparation.
"There are two sides who come to this store, one is an individual who needed money badly and the other one is the organization who opposed the buyer." The commander had sorted out the information. "The problem is that one fifth of the chip is now missing and the information contained can be dangerous."
"They split the chip into five and put it in five different stores." Old Master Nan's expression turned subtle. "What kind of information is inside the chip?"
"We don't know that yet."
"Who's in charge of the case of the other areas?"
"They're handed to the soldiers on duty." The commander mentioned a few names and then added, "The last one is given to Star General Long and his son."
Long Qian Xing.
Old Master Nan nodded. He looked at the phone case where the chip was placed. Right now, the phone was destroyed so badly because of the clash between these people not long ago. However, he could still see that the phone case was pink in color.
His pupil dilated slightly because he remembered that his granddaughter seemed to take fancy of this color for a while. If she had insisted on this phone, it was estimated that the clash would have involved her.
There was a dangerous air when Old Master Nan thought about it.
"Tell me more if there's anything I need to do."
"It's about the…"
…
<Nan Family Residence>
Nan Hua didn't know that even though she tried not to involve Old Master Nan and Nan Xian Mu, her grandfather was still dragged to this case. She was not privy of the information about the chip nor its source or whatever. What she knew was that this chip contained important information.
She browsed the news and looked at some few key points.
There were some journalists who were keen on news and mentioned about the commotion in the malls and the fact that the soldiers were alarmed.
'Five places, so this is just one fifth of the chip, huh?'
Nan Hua played with the chip. No wonder the organization was not afraid that the one who took the missions were just casual people. Even if they obtained the chip, they wouldn't be able to do anything with it.
Right now, Nan Hua was still constrained in the Nan Family, so she kept the chip carefully and planned to take a look at it again later.
She looked at the app and saw that Long Qian Xing sent her a message some time ago, telling her that he couldn't be present in the Virtual World. She replied that it was fine.
For now, it would be better for her to rest.
Tomorrow… she had to go to school and acted again for the entire day. It would be quite tiring.
…
In another location, Long Qian Xing was accompanying his father to do the missions. His father had just returned for a short break after a mission and then got called because there were movements from several big organizations.
"Can you see what's inside the chip?" Long Qian Xing asked as he stood behind the hacker of the organization.
The hacker shook his head. "The chip is completely encrypted and there is information missing. I estimated that it needed the other four parts to be completely assembled."
"Is there any possibility to crack it open without the other parts?"
"In theory, it's possible if you know the pattern of the code, but it'll take a long time and required high technical skill. Not to mention, the information contained in each chip will be partial and not complete."
Long Qian Xing nodded and raised his head to look at the prisoner in front of him. At this moment, the chamber was bloody but the person tortured refused to tell anything. He didn't even want to mention where he came from.
"He's very stubborn. There are only a few organizations who could train dead soldiers like this." Star General Long walked out of the chamber and looked at his son. He was wiping the blood on his hand, which was the result of the interrogation not long ago.
Normal interrogation would not use violence, but they all knew that this person was part of a big organization.
There were many organizations that had threatened the nation for decades.
If they could catch the tail of either one of them, it would prove to be very useful and eliminated more of their enemies who threatened the lives of the people in their nation.
"But the possibility is too many." Long Qian Xing shook his head.
"We have three chips in our hands. One is damaged and currently being repaired." Star General Long looked at his son. "I'll give you the task to help recover the missing two chips."
Long Qian Xing looked at his father. "I thought this kind of missions will not be given to a student who hadn't graduated yet?"
"You're different."
Long Qian Xing: "…" just say that you want to make trouble for me, Old Man!
