The Hurricane Group was especially strict about the maintenance of equipment maintenance and lifespan.
Gong Jie walked over to the helicopter and gently stroked it. He had named it Robin. The reason it was given this name was because Gong Jie had also had an idol when he was young. His favorite Marvel comic book hero was Batman. As a kid, he loved collecting Batman memorabilia.
Robin, also known as the Boy Wonder, was Batman’s partner and assistant. Together with Batman, they were known as the Dynamic Duo.
As a young man, Gong Jie had hoped to have a close friend and assistant like Robin. When Gong Shaoying gave him this armed helicopter, for some reason, his first thought was Robin’s name. That day, when he sat in the brand-new pilot’s seat for the first time and touched the controls, he felt as if the AH-1Z had come to life.
“How about I name you Robin?” He actually muttered to himself and thus gave the big guy a name.
For 10 years, Robin had shuttled him through the heavens, over the Aurora and the horizon. It had been his most loyal companion when caught in a hail of bullets. It had shot down air-raid missiles that had attempted to ambush him. Its hard shell had taken countless bullets for him. They had braved danger together, in life and death situations.
“Young Master Jie.” The technician walked over with a thick stack of test reports in his hand.
Gong Jie walked towards him, asking somewhat anxiously, “Well?”
“The test report came back. Robin meets all the benchmarks and can continue his service.”
Gong Jie’s eyes lit up at that, and he turned on his heel and threw himself onto the big animal with the jubilation he’d felt when he’d first seen it as an adult, as surprised as a child.
“Great, Robin.”
He’d assumed Robin’s term of service would come to an end. To his surprise, Robin would still be able to serve as his comrade-in-war.
At this point, his phone rang. Gong Jie took the call. Hua Jin’s face appeared clearly on the screen.
At the same moment, Hua Jin saw his Gong Jie on the screen.
The actor noticed that for some reason, there was a smile on Gong Jie’s face. It was a rare sight to see the man smiling so happily. Usually cold and expressionless, he was like a demon king. But now his smile was pure and innocent like a child’s.
Gong Jie’s smile faded immediately at the sight of Hua Jin. He cleared his throat awkwardly.
“Why? What’s up?”
The actor was stumped. Was it so disappointing to see his face? Hua Jin became inexplicably unhappy at that.
“Um… do you have much free time these days?”
Gong Jie thought for a moment. He didn’t seem to have much free time. His schedule was full. “What’s the matter? Has something come up?”
“Natalia misses you. She’s been pestering me… asking when you’ll be back.”
“Get her on the phone.”
“Okay.” The actor handed the phone to Natalia. When she saw Gong Jie’s face, her eyes became like crescent moons as she smiled. “Have you been busy, Daddy?”
She looked at him eagerly. Despite her smile, the anticipation in her eyes prevented the man from telling her that he was busy.
“Daddy, do you miss me?” Natalia asked.
Gong Jie raised his sword-like eyebrows and leaned closer to the screen. “What do you think?”
“I guess you don’t.”
