General Li Yao [edited]

The mother and son walked into the airport' s waiting area for the arriving passengers. Wu JingShi brought out the placard with 'Welcome to china Uncle Jonathan' written in English. Three minutes later, passengers from the newly landed plane came out. Among the crowd, the man in his wool jacket, denim jeans, and work boots stood out because of his towering figure and exquisite American beauty. Wu JingShi immediately noticed Jonathan Howard and called,

"Uncle Jonathan! Here!" Wu JingShi shouted and people stared at her. They are in dazed to her beauty added to her solemn voice and to her accent. Despite her looks that one could be certain that she was an Asian but if one would only listen to her speaking, one needs to reevaluate their opinion of her being an Asian as she had a beautiful accent that one could say that she was an American instead.

Jonathan Howard walked to their direction. "hey there son, I mean daughter. I see you wore a dress. Is it safe for you to expose your gender now?"

"come on uncle. Can you please notice something different?"

Wu JingShi said as she put her hands on her chin and made blink her eyes like a puppy who's asking for food(in-short acting cute). Jonathan Howard stared at his adopted daughter and sooner realized something.

"Oh! You had a different face"

"Correction it is disguise uncle a disguise. It is within the power of makeup"

"girls are indeed scary"

Jonathan Howard turned his attention to the little guy who is patiently waiting for his attention.

"Xander boy! How ya doin ma boy. Ya betta stay a distance with girls like your mom ya hear me? They are scary." Jonathan said seriously at Wu Fin and he just tilted his head and looked back and forth to his mother and uncle Jonathan. Pondering for a while and nodded his head.

Jonathan Howard laugh heartily and patted the boy's head gently. He looked at Wu JingShi.

"let's go. I have something to discuss with you"

Li Corporation…

A man in his mid-thirties was sitting in his table while reviewing the documents that are in his table and glanced at his computer from time to time. Until his personal phone started to ring. He fished his phone from his pocket and noticed that it was Madam Yang who's calling. He immediately answered the phone with a formal tone, "Good day to you madam, Mr. Li was still busy with something and cannot speak to you in a moment."

Yang Xin frowned at her son's secretary-Mr. Guan's reply. But still replied

"Tell him to come home for dinner, the family has something important that needs the presence of everyone."

"yes, I shall relay your message to Mr. Li madam." and the phone call has ended.

Mr. Guan presumed his work as he was accustomed to what had happened earlier because Madam Yang would only call his personal phone if Mr. Li himself would not answer any of her calls may it be on personal phone or telephone in his office.

A little while later, Mr. Guan stood up and made his way to Li Zhiyue's office- the CEO's office.

Mr. Guan knocked three times and opened the door. He then saw Li Zhiyue sitting in his chair while looking at his glassed wall that could see through the city.

"Sir. Madam Yang had called and was looking for you. She said that you must go home for dinner as there would be an important meeting that needs the presence of everyone."

"anything else?" Li Zhiyue asks without looking at Mr. Guan.

"Sir I have now the list of companies foreign and local that are interested in our new project and they had already given their proposals." Mr. Guan replied.

"good, put them in the table. As for the foreign companies, give them a background check and make sure that they are clean checked everything leaves no room to breathe in."

"Understood sir." Mr. Guan put down the documents at his hand to the table and excused himself.

Li Zhiyue was still looking at the horizon. Lost at his own thought.

Where are you?

Three years ago...

Chris's phone ring and he immediately answered it.

"Sir, I had checked the CCTV record and there was no one entered the room except for you and the man named Austin."

Chris was stupefied and he did not hear anything that his secretary had said anymore. As if that his senses were block and his mind was starting to replay his memory of that night. Although he was drunk, he could still remember some part of it. He was certain to himself that he had sex with a woman and there was evidence in the bed. It may be his first time but he could clearly remember the breast that he had groped and sucked hard and also the voice of the woman who was moaning in pleasure and that could only mean one thing. Austin Howard that he had sexual intercourse with was a woman, not a man. But then, why was she hiding his true self?

To the present...

Austin Howard… where are you now? Why did you hide?

Wu JingShi was sitting in front of Jonathan Howard. They are in the basement. While Wu Fin was already sleeping.

In front of them were scattered documents- data of multiple people as well as blueprints of buildings and residence area.

"So you are saying that Kellie Joe and Henry Loopburn were smuggling illegal firearms to this country and the base was sending you here to cooperate with the army in this army to catch these persons?"

Wu JingShi said as she was staring intently at Jonathan Howard.

"well basically speaking yes." Jonathan nodded.

"But why are you telling this to me uncle?" Wu Jie Shi raised her right eyebrow.

"I want you to help me with this mission"

"and why is that?"

"order from above"

"what?"

"yeah," Jonathan Howard passed Wu Jie Shi an envelope and stood up exited the room.

Wu JingShi opened and read the letter. It states that Austin Howard was to return to his post and help Jonathan Howard as they will be assigned in capturing Kellie Joe and Henry Loopburn and to return to the US.

Why? I clearly stated at my withdrawal form that I will quit and live a normal life with my son.

Wu JingShi asked to herself. In the army, they are aware of Wu JingShi's true identity. As well as her having a son.

Three weeks had passed and Wu JingShi in her disguised as Austin Howard together with Jonathan Howard was in the army's headquarters. They are preparing themselves for the raid. In the past three weeks, Wu JingShi and Jonathan Howard reported themselves to the army's headquarters. Wu JingShi was able to meet Li Yao, Li Zhiyue's father. Wu JingShi felt a little awkward but it cannot be seen in her face as she was calm the whole time. After receiving the report and also reading the letter that was sent from the US headquarters addressed to Li Yao, they began making their preparations and the soldiers in the special force were trained under Wu JingShi's guidance. Especially in their marksmanship. The trainees shoot without aiming at stationary targets at close range until they gain almost complete accuracy, then progress to moving targets. Once these shooting skills are perfected, trainees move to a shooting house and clear rooms of 'enemy' targets-first one only, then two at a time until four. When all can demonstrate sufficient skill,' hostages' are added to the mix.

Even though some of them had already undergone some of this training, they are still amateur at Wu JingShi's standards. In terms of training soldiers, she had high standards. She wants her trainees to have almost the same output as her in her time. Later she then gains the nickname, 'devil'. In the US, newly recruit soldiers to the Delta Force were more afraid of her than to their superiors. Her training regimen was known throughout the army. Even though the regimen itself was nothing special as she was only following it but her approach towards them are scarier and more strict than other instructors.

"Sergeant Howard, I am very thankful for your offer to train my soldiers. Please let me give my appreciation to your kindness." General Li Yao said to Wu JingShi.

The two are wearing their respective official uniform and was in the office of Li Yao.

Discussing the operation that will take place the day after. The two finished talking in the afternoon and Wu JingShi retreated the room and went to her assigned room that was arranged from General Li's orders. Without her knowledge, General Li Yao was aware of her true gender as it was clearly stated in the letter from the US headquarters.

As Wu JingShi left, General Li was staring at the direction where Wu JingShi went off.

"What a brave child. How I wish that you would be my daughter." he heaved a sigh and thought of his family.

General Li Yao has three sons as Li Zhiyue was his eldest and Li Yunzhao-second son, Li Chenggyu his youngest.

"Those brats not even once introduced a girlfriend to the family! My friends had their grandchildren already. I may wait for many more years for that matter"
