Ye Jian smiled at her comrades’ consolation. “No, I didn’t take it to heart. If I really have any thoughts, I can just ask the military. There’s no need to think too much.”
It was a relaxed reply. There was nothing unusual about her reaction.
His comrades heaved a sigh of relief. Now, it was time to clean up the event location.
It was already 4:30 am. Pigeon instructed his comrades to clean up the event location. Then, he contacted the mainland to send the news back to the military.
Major General Yang, who had been guarding the area, received a call. He knew that everyone had been killed. The number one target, Li Chuhai, had been shot to death. They had also killed several dangerous foreigners. His face, which had been cold the entire night, finally revealed a smile.
However, soon, the smile disappeared. Pigeon reported Li Chuhai’s last words to Ye Jian without missing a word. Major General Yang frowned.
Commander Xia couldn’t help but frown when he heard the report.
He was in a difficult position. He first stood up and walked away from his desk. After taking a few steps, he sat down again. After at least three minutes, he said in a low voice, “This matter can’t be hidden for long. Since Li Chuhai said so, with Ye Jian’s intelligence, she will definitely remember the previous meeting. She knows that Li Chuhai didn’t lie to her.
“When she returns to the capital city… tell her the truth.” Commander Xia made a decision. Since Li Chuhai had been settled and the case of Martyr Sun Xueqing had come to an end… It was only right for her to know who shot Sun Xueqing behind her back.
Ye Jian might not be able to accept it.
Major General Yang sighed. “You’re right. We can’t hide it for long. She’ll find out sooner or later. Why don’t you tell her directly?”
“Yes, it’s settled. As for Li Chuhai… Tell Old Master Li some information. It’ll be beneficial to us.” Commander Xia had already s.h.i.+fted the matter to another big matter. “Old Master Li is in love with power. There are too many people left behind. It’s time to clean this mess up.”
Ever since something happened to Li Chuhai, a storm had been brewing in the capital city. Now that they would reveal the news of Li Chuhai’s death to the Li family, with Old Master Li’s temper, he wouldn’t let some people off even if the military didn’t do anything.
The sky gradually lit up, and there was a faint mist on the surface of the sea. The s.h.i.+p sent by the military arrived at the freighter. The special forces soldiers from the Xueyu unit, who had cleaned up the event location, placed Li Chuhai and the people he brought on the s.h.i.+p. Then, they unscrewed the water container and cleaned the bloodstains on the deck. They also picked up the sh.e.l.l casings. If one didn’t look carefully at the freighter, one wouldn’t be able to see any traces of the combat last night. Only then did they open the cabin door.
When the crew members on the freighter walked out of the cabin, they heard a s.h.i.+p leaving. As for the event location… there were a few bullet holes left behind.
These bullet holes allowed them to know that there was really a gunfight on the s.h.i.+p. As for who these people were, they didn’t know. Even the captain and his deputy didn’t know.
When Ye Jian and the rest reached the sh.o.r.e, Old Master Li received the news. He knew that his son, Li Chuhai, who he had spent some effort to protect, had been surrounded and killed. He was practicing tai chi in the room when his vision turned black. His body swayed, and he almost fell.
Old Master Li couldn’t accept this. He was already on the freighter, but something still happened?!
