Chapter 1394: Missing Persons
Jiang Yao had been staying in the medical system for the past few days, so when Lu Xingzhi knocked on the door, she immediately opened it for him.
“You haven’t slept yet?” It was drizzling outside. After Lu Xingzhi entered the door, he did not immediately approach Jiang Yao. After closing the door, he first dragged his coat, then shook the water off his hair like a puppy. Only then did he pull her into his arms. “Have you not had a good rest these past few days?”
“I’m a light sleeper.” Jiang Yao quickly poured him a cup of hot water. Then, she looked at Lu Xingzhi’s expression and asked, “Did something happen?”
Lu Xingzhi nodded. He held the water in his hands and did not seem to have any intention of drinking. “Our people realized that they could not contact Zhou Junmin; they had lost contact with him.”
Jiang Yao’s heart skipped a beat. “What do you mean lost contact? When did that happen?”
“We lost contact with him two days ago. Our people could not contact him at all.” Lu Xingzhi frowned. “Three days ago, Zhou Junmin was still sending news. When our people wanted to contact him the day before yesterday, they suddenly realized that they could not reach him. Yesterday, Captain Hao sent people to look for him at his residence, but they realized he had not returned for two days. ”
“Someone discovered his ident.i.ty?”
That was the worst-case scenario. Jiang Yao did not even dare imagine what would happen if she was discovered.
There was almost no second-guessing; she could not let anyone expose her ident.i.ty.
Lu Xingzhi and Captain Hao could not figure out why Zhou Junmin was out of reach. Zhou Junmin had always been a spy that lurked nearby and had never contacted the team’s core members. Therefore, Zhou Junmin’s disappearance left everyone somewhat puzzled.
If Zhou Junmin had been captured, how could someone discover his ident.i.ty?
Captain Hao speculated whether there was a mole in the team.
Jiang Yao asked, “What about us? If Zhou Junmin’s ident.i.ty was exposed, would we be in danger?”
“Yes.”
Lu Xingzhi held Jiang Yao’s hand tightly in his palm. “Captain Hao is considering whether to withdraw all of us.”
“If we leave, will the mission be abandoned halfway? Will our previous efforts be in vain? Will those people still be able to do whatever they want? Would there still be pitiful women and children like Ding Xiaomei? What about Zhou Junmin? Where can we find him?”
“Our people will find Zhou Junmin.”
Lu Xingzhi’s gaze trembled slightly; they had to find him.
He must return with everyone he brought to the mission!
“Be careful these few days. I’ll ask Moe and Big Ke to stay in the hotel to keep an eye on you.” He lowered his head and kissed Jiang Yao’s lips. There was a hint of panic and coldness. “If Captain Hao tells you to retreat, you have to leave this place obediently. Nothing is more important than your life. ”
“What about you?”
Jiang Yao only noticed Lu Xingzhi’s words. He was talking about her, not them.
“We’ll see.”
Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao’s head. “I’ll rest with you for a while. I’ll leave when the sun rises.”
After saying that, he carried her to the bed and gently pulled up the blanket to cover her. Then he went to the bathroom to take a quick shower before lying down beside her.
