“I got the boss’s order to leave Shu City right away. Mr. G speculated that there could be military spies in our midst!”
When Jiang Yao heard that, she froze. She kept listening to Brother Jing and Ah Zhu’s phone calls while quickly dialing Captain Hao’s number.
“Captain Hao, Brother Jing may be departing from Shu City soon.” According to Brother Jing and Ah Zhu, there is a rumor that military spies are lurking around them!” Jiang Yao spoke up quickly.
On the other hand, Brother Jing issued an order to Ah Zhu. “Boss suspects that the military spy is among those we have recently accepted.” The boss has begun to clean them out. Now, pack your belongings and leave with me right away. We will leave Shu City in the middle of the night.”
Jiang Yao’s hand, which was holding the phone, began to shake uncontrollably when she heard that. “Captain Hao, please notify all of our comrades to withdraw immediately!”
Captain Hao’s voice was trembling as well. “Yes, I will do that. Lady Lu, you must also leave the Ding residence immediately! I will send someone to get you! ”
Jiang Yao agreed and got up right away to change her clothes. However, she did not expect that after Ah Zhu hung up the phone, he would not immediately return to his room to pack his belongings. Instead, he went straight to her room and knocked.
“Junhui! Junhui! Quickly get up. Something has occurred. You must come with me. The Ding residence is no longer safe!” Ah Zhu yelled as he motioned to the servant downstairs to get the keys to open the door.
As soon as Jiang Yao opened the door, Ah Zhu summoned his subordinates to retrieve her luggage. “Take Miss Gu to the car and protect her,” he said.
“There is an emergency,” he said to Jiang Yao. “Go ahead and wait for me in the car. I will get some things and explain when I get to the car.”
Jiang Yao carried her backpack and put her hands in her coat pockets. She nodded with a pale face as if she was terrified.
It was not only Moe in her coat pockets but also the gun that Lu Xingzhi had given her.
Jiang Yao was assigned to an SUV. Ding Xiaomei was also brought to the car not long after that.
“What is the point of bringing her along?” Jiang Yao asked Ah Zhu’s men.
“Hostage.”
Ah Zhu’s voice could be heard outside the car. Then, he sat in the passenger seat, facing the people behind him. “All of you, please follow me!”
For many years, all of Ah Zhu’s men were his confidants. Even though they were under Brother Ding’s control, he still had many friends in that circle.
The driver quickly started the car and drove out of the Ding residence as soon as Ah Zhu got in the vehicle. The other cars were close behind.
“What do you mean by hostage, Brother Ah Zhu? What happened?” Jiang Yao inquired, her voice trembling. “What made you leave so abruptly?”
Ah Zhu did not respond right away, but his usually bright eyes were fixed on something in the rearview mirror.
After a long period…
Just as Jiang Yao thought Ah Zhu would not respond, the man said, “Brother Jing and I might have a spy on our side. We can use Ding Xiaomei as a pawn. If the military dares to shoot at me, we will have to kill Ding Xiaomei.”
Following that, Ah Zhu abruptly turned around and extended his hand to Jiang Yao. “Sister, lend me your phone.”
Jiang Yao was taken aback, so she took her phone from her pocket and handed it to him.
Ah Zhu accepted it with a smile. “I was in a rush and forgot to bring my phone. I need it to text a friend.”
Before he could finish his sentence, Ah Zhu opened his phone’s message box and pressed a few buttons. “Forget it. I will just call them directly.”
