Li Chuhai put down his legs on the coffee table and said with a dark gaze, “After I go out, you must find and lure Chen Dongfeng out. This person has always been someone that the other side wants to deal with. After dealing with him, many things will be much easier for us.”
“Don’t worry. After I send you off, I’ll settle this matter. With Ye Jian around, I’m not afraid that I won’t be able to lure out the person they want.”
“Very good. I’ll take good care of your wife and daughter so that you won’t have anything to worry about. Don’t worry and settle the matters in the country for me. Transfer all the information and important materials you’ve gathered. When the news pa.s.ses, you can come out and reunite with your wife and daughter.”
a.s.sistant Zhu bent down. “Thank you for your trouble. The operation in the mountains should’ve started. You can leave now to prevent any accidents from happening. When you’re overseas, ask my daughter to give me a call so that I can know that you’ve arrived safely.”
He was very loyal.
The floor lamp in the room was extinguished. Footsteps came from the darkness. When they heard the sound of the door opening and closing, everything returned to silence. It was as if no one had ever come. Even the air smelled moldy.
At four in the morning, it was time to sleep. The entire city was quieter than ever. Old Master Li, who had returned from the military, sat quietly in the study until six in the morning. Then, he slowly got up and returned to his room.
In the room, Second Old Madam Li was not asleep either. When she saw Old Master Li enter the room, she raised her red and swollen eyes. She was already old, but her eyes were still watery. Her expression made Old Master Li sigh. “Sleep for a while. You’re already old. If you don’t rest well, you’ll age faster.”
Second Old Madam Li stayed up the entire night without feeling sleepy. Hearing that, she asked in a trembling voice, “Is everything… fine now? Has he… left?”
“Yes, go to sleep.” Without saying much, Old Master Li got into bed and closed his eyes to sleep.
Second Old Madam Li was already crying tears of joy. It was fine now. That was good. That was good. It was good that he was fine.
Holding the pillow, Second Old Madam Li could finally close her eyes.
When Ye Jian found out that the encirclement mission had failed, it was already nine o’clock in the morning the next day. It was the eighth day of the new year. The streets were lively. There were lights and colorful banners everywhere. Ye Jian, who was accompanying the old master to admire plums in the park near Dan Gui Garden, received a call from the military.
The mission failed. The man who was killed wasn’t Li Chuhai. He was a man from another country who was as tall as Li Chuhai. At the same time, they killed three criminals who were shooting with guns and arrested a heavily injured foreign man who was being rescued.
In other words, Li Chuhai had escaped.
He was well-prepared. He even prepared a subst.i.tute for himself. Before this, this subst.i.tute didn’t enter the scout’s line of sight. He only came out when Li Chuhai needed to escape.
However, Ye Jian wasn’t concerned about whether Li Chuhai had escaped or not. She was concerned about… Xia Jinyuan, who was out on a mission.
She asked Commander Xia in a trembling voice, “What about Captain Xia? How’s the situation on his side? Did he… go to clean up the mess?”
Although Xia Jinyuan didn’t tell Ye Jian what mission he was on, she felt that this mission was related to Li Chuhai. If not, he wouldn’t have said that he might have to go away before the mission was issued.
Obviously, Captain Xia knew what he was going to do next.
