Chapter 892: Caring About Him Because Of Someone Else
He picked up the breakfast Ye Jian brought up and placed it on the coffee table. He said casually under her slightly serious gaze. “The morning news has ended. You can watch the 9 am news. I told you that my mission was a decapitation strike, right? See if you can find any clues in the news.”
The seriousness on Ye Jian’s face was obvious. “Xia Jinyuan, this is the second time you mentioned your mission. You didn’t forget about the ten rules of confidentiality so why do you keep mentioning your mission in front of me?”
“You can take a look first. Okay, this is the channel.”
He needed to let her slowly understand his mission. He wanted to let her watch the news first because what you see always felt more real than what you heard from other people. He hoped that she could see more things and a.n.a.lyze the situation based on what he mentioned. He hoped that she could immediately find problems that were beneficial and accurate.
With her intelligence, she might be able to guess through the news what their mission was related to and why they needed to take on the mission.
In school, Ye Jian didn’t have many chances to watch television. In 1997, Provincial No.1 Middle School didn’t have the thought of placing a television in each cla.s.sroom. The only television was in the a.s.sembly hall. No one dared to take the risk to sneak in and watch it.
Ye Jian felt a huge rock weighing down on her heart. She looked at Xia Jinyuan as he turned on the television and tuned to the international news channel. “I don’t know if there’s news regarding my mission. Take a look at it. I need to give Hou Zi a call.”
“Okay.” Ye Jian nodded and started watching the international news seriously. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Xia Jinyuan taking out his phone and walking into the bathroom to make the call.
Hou Zi was still on level 23. He just finished swimming so he was only wearing tight black swimming trunks. Even though he was 37 years old, he maintained his body well. From his tight abs, one could tell how much he emphasized on exercising normally.
He picked up the call and said, “h.e.l.lo.” His expression started getting more and more serious. “So this is what you mean by cooperating with this piece of land. Sure, I will send you your clothes in half an hour and bring you to choose the goods personally.”
Hou Zi cared about Xia Jinyuan because of his sister. Also, it was worth helping the other party. Today, if Xia Jinyuan asked him to bring his gun and help him, he would do it without frowning at all.
Xia Jinyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard Hou Zi’s decisive reply. He smiled and asked, “I killed someone overseas and escaped back to the country. Brother Zi, I’m a huge piece of trouble.”
“What am I afraid of? I know your ident.i.ty. You didn’t kill the person because of personal grudges. Fine, stop trying to scare me. Besides your sister, no one can scare me.” When Hou Zi smiled, killing intent could be seen at the bottom of his beautiful phoenix eyes. He laughed and continued, “Thank you.”
Why was he thanking Xia Jinyuan? There were two reasons.
First, he wanted to thank Xia Jinyuan for thinking about him at a time like this. If someone like Xia Jinyuan killed people overseas, he did it for his country. Since he came to look for Hou Zi after he killed the person, Hou Zi felt that he needed to help Xia Jinyuan. Helping Xia Jinyuan was equivalent to helping the country.
Second, he wanted to thank Xia Jinyuan for giving this chance to him. This was a chance for him to reorganize everything and clean up his past for good.
Hmph, when did he ever agree to let Xia Yiwei marry that stupid designer?
So what if he studied overseas?
He never studied much but he was still able to lead a successful life. He could still marry Xia Yiwei!
“The place to choose goods is a little far. However, you won’t regret going there.” Hou Zi wasn’t afraid of letting Xia Jinyuan know where his hiding spot for his goods was. So what if he knew? He never used these goods to harm the peace of the Southern Province.
It was just his hobby. He just liked collecting them.
