Chapter Text
“Just as I promised sir. Photos of that diplomat which is proof that…” The photos inside the familiar Manila folder rustled slightly as the man with the surgical mask spoke. “That he is surrounded by women constantly” The other man with short brown hair smirked and snatched away the photos.
“Hah, great this will be more than enough to sully his reputation,” He sneered while nodding walking away to his car.
“A pleasure sir,” the mask wearing man stepped back to hear a yell come from a man with a gruff and raspy tone, he turned around in disbelief.
“HEY, the photos I wanted?” It was the same exact man, how the fuck is that possible?
“W-ait but I just..” he finally noticed he had been bested by someone a master of disguise. “That man was a spy!”
As the previously mentioned disguised man drove away in his car, removing his mask with a rip. What was his name? Well that is not to be said. Code name ‘Hanguang-jun’ a spy. He placed his shoulder length black locks into a low ponytail placing a few strands in the front. He pulled out a white eyepatch out of nowhere and placed it over his left eye. This was an era where the world was moments away from starting a full out war. Politics was all in shambles, but even through all of that agent hanguang still kept himself on his best game. He was an expert on the battlefield; he had hundreds of identities just to survive. Now he had somewhere to be, at a dinner party with a woman.
The walls were covered in tacky golden accents,dinner plates clinking together as a certain spy sat with a woman with an overly revealing outfit, she rolled her eyes softly scoffing in annoyance, twirling her long black chopsticks.
“Baba has been super irritated recently, something about someone stealing his photos off some kind of important guy being a womanizer. Honestly I didn’t have a clue what he was talking about” She placed her hand on her forehead as she picked at the food in her bowl. Hanguang-Jun just continued to eat while listening occasionally as he did not speak while eating. “Excuse me, A-Qian are you even listening to me?” She huffed puffing her cheeks out like a child. ‘Lai Qian’ or rather hanguang-jun, looked up nonchalantly. He stopped chewing and swallowed his food elegantly, wiping his lips with a handkerchief.
“Mn, unfortunate” He placed his chopsticks down, nodding slowly. Loud squeals with voices screaming ‘congratulations!’ There was a woman with another man giggling and laughing. He was one knee smiling like a dork. As the woman had tears welling up in her eyes. Hanguang-Jun paid no mind to it, he wanted to focus on his current objective.
“Hey A-Qian do you think we will ever..” His date smiled, her eyes creasing into crescents. “You know, get married one day?” She said looking deep into Hanguang-Jim’s piercing Amber eyes. But he simply placed a money pouch for the bill and bowed deeply towards his date.
“Meixiang we need to break up, I’m sorry,” He stood up quickly walking away leaving Meixiang dumbfounded. As Hanguang-jun swiftly made his way out of the restaurant, he heard a familiar call.
“A-Qian wait! Why must you!” Meixiang screamed at the top of her lungs. Hanguang-Jun only strolled into the dark alleyway at the side of the restaurant. A match box inside his pocket, he looked up at the sky, a beautiful shade of purple, and blue shined like silk. He lit the match, throwing it away along with his old life. ‘ Meixiang, my only wish is that you will find someone who actually loves you’ All Hanguang-Jun wanted was for her to be happy, find a good man, unlike him who lied to her and basically used her for her father.
Hanguang-Jun made his way over to a small station bustling with people. Their similarly colored black or brown hair littered the giant hall, as he walked he noticed someone in the corner sitting on a bench, reading a paper. He stepped over to the bench placing his suitcase down staring at the man, while sitting down with a hmph. The old man stared at him, sliding a newspaper over to him. He then stood up with shaky knees tiling his fedora while mewling like a cat.
‘Code Bai then’ He thought, tilting his glasses when a hum echoed through the station.
“ Good Morning! The train heading to Yunmeng is departing now at track five!’ An overly sweet feminine voice announced. Hanguang-Jun cooly headed to the train getting on as it departed, opening the newspaper while holding a cup of green tea.
‘ Good morning Hanguang-Jun," the newspaper read. ‘ Good work on your last assignment. That clan leader managed to survive thanks to you’ Hanguang-Jun narrowed his Amber eyes staring deep into the pages, what do they want from now. He moved his eyes down towards a portrait of a government official. ‘ We Need you to complete another mission, your target is Jin Guangshan the leader of the Jin party. He is a threat to the peace between the country’ Hanguang-Jun took another small sip of his tea. ‘ Your mission is to infiltrate his social circle at Lanling Academy. In order to do so’ Hanguang-Jun read down more. ‘ You must marry and have a child’ He choked on his tea. ‘You need to enroll your child at Lanling Academy to gain entry, however the deadline is in 7 days’ He had enough of reading about this and he tired the paper in two muttering to himself.
“7 days to produce a child?!” Everyone in the cart looked at him slowly with shock in their eyes.
