Inside, Pan Mingyue was sitting on a chair and looking out the bungalow. When she heard Lu Zhaoying, she only said, “The documents have been sent already. If I go back now, I’ll be escaping just before the battle.”
Lu Zhaoying stared at her and was silent for a long time.
Feeling a strange atmosphere inside, Luo Qian and the other two young people were about to say something when they saw Lu Zhaoying’s expression and didn’t dare to speak.
“Where are you staying?” Lu Zhaoying was silent for a while before asking.
Pan Mingyue and the others were public servants, so they naturally had a place to live. It was a very simple bungalow next door.
Even if Luo Qian and the others were undiscerning, they could tell that the relationship between these two was a little delicate, so they didn’t follow after them.
Lu Zhaoying followed her into the bungalow, which had been obviously cleaned up in a hurry. It was very simple and crude. As soon as he opened the door, the latch fell off and the screws loosened.
Glancing at it, he leaned over and picked up the half-rusty bolt. “Do they know you’re here?”
He was referring to Qin Ran and Song Luting.
“I’m a civil servant, I’ll have to rush to the front line eventually.” Pan Mingyue looked down at the broken door latch, looking quite curious but indifferent at the same time.
Lu Zhaoying always knew that Pan Mingyue’s ideal was to be in the Inspection Institute. Upon hearing this, he only raised his head and looked at the subordinate peeking in. “You…”
His subordinate immediately reacted. “Boss!”
“Go and find me a new lock.” He threw the broken lock onto the table.
The subordinate seemed to pause for a while, then looked at Lu Zhaoying in disbelief. “Boss, you said…”
Lu Zhaoying tilted his head and glanced at him.
The subordinate was speechless.
Walking back with a dazed expression, he fell into deep thought.
The others waiting not far away saw him and couldn’t help but cast doubtful gazes at him. He looked up in a daze and said, “Boss seems to want to fix the lock…”
With that said, he glanced behind again.
Lu Zhaoying had been involved in special forces with Cheng Juan ever since a few years ago. He was usually frivolous but was extremely responsible when it came to business matters. This was also one of the reasons why he had a group of extremely loyal subordinates.
However, his life was very clean. A certain military flower had fancied him previously, but Young Master Lu was a hard-hearted, focused man, who had always been about business.
…
The subordinate soon brought the lock back.
Lu Zhaoying, Cheng Juan, and the others had suffered much in the past, so he managed to reinstall the lock within 10 minutes. “Don’t ask me. I’ll ask my superiors immediately, and then send you back tomorrow.”
“You didn’t ask for second-level measures for this operation?” Pan Mingyue was squatting on the ground, watching Lu Zhaoying. Because of her position, she inevitably had to raise her head when speaking.
“Be careful.” Pan Mingyue knew that her team could only play a supporting role here. When she spoke, her eyes were very calm, and she seemed a little cold as well.
Her words were very light and soft.
Having made up his mind not to tell her about anything related, Lu Zhaoying nailed the last nail inside and pulled the door handle again. His hand stayed on the door handle for a long time. “Okay.”
Without even turning around, he directly left.
This time, Lu Zhaoying was to provide support for an undercover accomplice in the stronghold. Because everything was unknown at the border, he reported it to the superiors, but it was rejected.
He wasn’t on good terms with Song Luting, so he called Qin Ran.
It was the first time he asked for help since he embarked on this path.
He originally thought that Qin Ran could easily arrange a plane for Pan Mingyue to fly back, but Qin Ran asked, “If you make a mistake in the mission, and you only have two choices, to die or to escape—”
Lu Zhaoying lightly said, “I’ll die.”
As far as he knew, Qin Ran, Cheng Juan, and each of them had walked countless times on the brink of death.
The epitaph in Ninghai Town was the best answer.
Qin Ran stopped talking on the phone.
Lu Zhaoying also realized something. He wiped his face with his hand and smiled bitterly. “Sorry.”
Qin Ran let out an “Okay”, then hung up. She was a little curious about Lu Zhaoying’s reaction, so she went to talk to Cheng Juan.
Cheng Juan thought of Lu Zhaoying’s previous phone call, but glanced at Qin Ran and said calmly, “Leave him alone.”
Qin Ran nodded. However, she was still a little worried about Pan Mingyue. Why was her first mission already so dangerous? Thinking of this, she sent a message to He Chen.
He Chen’s base camp was on the border as well.
…
After Pan Mingyue and the others arrived, they sorted out and analyzed a large amount of data, and conducted field investigations instead of resting.
“Team leader, this group of people are obviously international habitual offenders.” It was already dark when Luo Qian drove the allocated car, frowning. “I’ll report to the superiors immediately after returning. The current manpower is obviously insufficient.”
Pan Mingyue put away her computer, glanced out the window, and nodded. “I’ve already finished the report.”
The four of them returned to their residence and saw Old Zhang in the yard chatting with some others. Seeing Pan Mingyue, he spit out the branch in his mouth and quickly stood up. “Team Leader Pan.”
Pan Mingyue greeted him before looking around, keenly aware that something was wrong. “Where’s your boss?”
Old Zhang hesitated and didn’t reply to her.
Before he could say anything, the person beside him who had a gloomy expression and a bad tone complained a little. “Our inner information has been exposed. Boss is going to the rescue in advance.”
Had it not been for Pan Mingyue, Lu Zhaoying wouldn’t have gone to the rescue in the case of insufficient personnel.
Pan Mingyue frowned and turned to Old Zhang. “You have your boss’s walkie-talkie, right? Call him.”
Old Zhang was stunned. “I…”
“Call him.” Pan Mingyue raised her head, looking at him with her dark eyes, her tone stern and leaving no room for discussion.
Old Zhang was a little afraid of her imposing aura, and since she was also a member of the Inspection Institute, he quickly called Lu Zhaoying.
Lu Zhaoying’s voice was very cold. “What is it?”
Looking out the door, Pan Mingyue didn’t take too much time to explain. “Bring me along. I have some important clues. You’re probably in the area of the Fei River. I asked Luo Qian to drive to the bridge without me. If you don’t bring me along, I’ll go by myself.”
In the car, Lu Zhaoying frowned. “Pan Mingyue…”
He seemed to be gritting his teeth, but he knew Pan Mingyue was capable of doing what she said. “Stand right there and wait for me!”
It didn’t take long for Lu Zhaoying to leave, and less than an hour later, after it was completely dark, he drove back. Pan Mingyue didn’t let Luo Qian follow her, nor did she let Old Zhang and the others take action. She directly left and got into the car.
Old Zhang still wanted to stay behind to protect Luo Qian and the other three people.
Once the car drove away, the young man beside Old Zhang couldn’t help it anymore. “Boss is crazy, right? Forget it that he didn’t take you along, but he actually let her go? He already has insufficient manpower, and now that you’re not there, he has to be distracted about her safety too! This woman must be a spy!”
