Chapter 896: Heart-Shaking
He became an illegal mercenary that didn’t have any ident.i.ty! He wasn’t allowed to reveal his face in any country. Once they got exposed, their country wouldn’t be able to protect them so easily!
That was because they weren’t Chinese soldiers! Their name wouldn’t be found in the database of the entire military unit!
Everything about them had been wiped away before they were sent on their mission. This proved that once they were exposed, they could only rely on themselves.
Ye Jian felt her heart shaking. “Why did you still come back to the Southern Province then? …Xia Jinyuan, there must be a reason why you came back to the Southern Province, right? The Southern Province is Brother Zi’s territory. Did you think that if something happens here, he won’t be a bystander and let you fall into danger, right? That’s why you came back to the Southern Province directly.”
“Also, Captain Xia, you dared to contact Hou Zi when you’re still on your mission. You must have other motives, right?”
As compared to Ye Jian’s nervousness, Xia Jinyuan’s expression seemed calmer. “Smart. You guessed it so quickly. You’re right, Little Fox. I came back to the Southern Province because there’s a reason why I must come back.”
“What you said just now is the decapitation strike. The decapitation strike is the biggest portion of your mission. It involves the matter between the two countries. This is a huge affair. No matter how powerful Brother Zi’s power is in the Southern Province, he might not be able to ensure your safety.” Ye Jian pursed his lips and looked at Xia Jinyuan even more sharply. She said in a firm tone, “Captain Xia, the reason why you must come back to the Southern Province isn’t so simple either!”
Xia Jinyuan laughed very softly. His handsome and elegant face seemed composed but his voice was cold. “I’m an illegal mercenary now!”
He emphasized the word ‘illegal’. Then, he looked at Ye Jian with eagle eyes. “Ye Jian, why do you think I have to come to the Southern Province? What is the reason I must come back?”
The Southern Province belonged to Hou Zi. If the ‘snakes’ that he lured from overseas attacked him here, Hou Zi wouldn’t just sit still. The reason why he must come to the Southern Province was the weapons in Hou Zi’s hand.
Ye Jian’s brain never stopped working. She kept a.n.a.lyzing the reason why Xia Jinyuan had to come back to the Southern Province. Then, she remembered how he suddenly told her about his ‘decapitation strike’. Based on the rules of confidentiality, he shouldn’t say what he shouldn’t. But, he still said it… It was as if he told her on purpose.
No one could help them. They could only help themselves. No, wait, she could help him!
If she was right, Xia Jinyuan purposely let her know about their mission… This was also the military’s intention!
If not, how could a soldier like him tell her about their mission so easily?
He would only dare to say it if the military gave their consent!
The military knew that he came to the Southern Province. They knew that he went to look for Hou Zi and knew that he had contacted her. The military knew everything but Xia Jinyuan was still an ‘illegal mercenary’!
An illegal mercenary contacted the boss of the underworld, Hou Zi, without hiding the fact from the military. This meant that the military allowed him to contact Hou Zi.
…This was a clueless matter and one would normally get more and more confused as they thought about it. However, Ye Jian’s mind became clearer instead, Slowly, the reason why Xia Jinyuan must come back to the Southern Province floated into her head!
That was because Hou Zi had the items that the military couldn’t give Xia Jinyuan temporarily. What were those items? Ye Jian’s gaze turned darker and darker. They were like the ocean. They seemed to be bottomless pits.
After approximately one minute, waves started appearing on the surface of the ocean. She felt that she had guessed the reason why Xia Jinyuan must return to the Southern Province!
