The man outside the door left early in the morning, around four o’ clock. She knew when he got up.
Leng Zhiyuan was unable to continue sleeping further. She sat up on the bed. Actually, she was awoken by the noise. The past few years of being a special agent made her wake up whenever there was any noise. Suddenly, the sounds of the men training, “One, two, three, four,” rang out through the window non stop.
She stood up and walked out. The air outside was fresh and cool. She opened her slim arms apart to take a deep breath of air. For the past few years, she did not have much chance to be so free. She looked through the fog and could see a group of people moving about as they ran, and they were going through different training stops…
Leng Zhiyuan smiled bitterly. Director Yang had said that he would not leave her sight, and he probably meant this. That man was out on training, just in front.
She felt bored, and she stood at the pole to look into the distance.
The fog slowly disappeared. She had a clear look at Zhou Yao. That man was still dressed in the same military uniform that he’d worn yesterday. He had a gold star on his shoulder. She could only see the back of his head, and he had an extremely clean haircut. His hairline was extremely defined,and looked extremely cold and forceful.
He placed both hands on his waist as he lectured a young solider who was all exhausted from a long-distance run. He was extremely energetic as his deep charming voice came over. “Did you fucking lack calcium in your mother’s stomach or not eat your breakfast? Stand up and continue running!”
That young soldier’s face was bitter as if he was about to cry.
The corners of Leng Zhiyuan’s lips were curled up into an arc. That man looked like a decent person, but the moment he opened his mouth, he exposed his rough character immediately.
Suddenly, she saw his adjutant general run over to Zhou Yao and whisper something softly, and after that, Leng Zhiyuan saw Zhou Yao turning his body over to the side. His bright eyes looked over in her direction.
Leng Zhiyuan froze.
That adjutant general was extremely delighted, and he gave a salute as he stood up straight in the distance as he shouted out, “How are you doing, Older Sister-in-law!?”
And after that, all of the young soldiers that were undergoing training looked over in her direction. They were extremely excited as they said, ” Older Sister-in-law, good morning! Older Sister-in-law, good morning!”
Leng Zhiyuan:…
She looked over at Zhou Yao and noticed that the man only raised his eyebrows unhappily as he looked at her.
Leng Zhiyuan snorted coldly before she turned around and went inside the house.
…
Leng Zhiyuan lay back down on the bed again, but she was unable to fall back asleep. She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling.Her mind was filled with the man’s face as he smiled cunningly.
Damn it. She flipped her body around, and fiercely shook him from her mind.
At seven o clock, someone knocked on ehr door. Knock, knock. She woke up and went to open the door. There was a young soldier standing outside the door. The young soldier held a meal tray in his hands, and there was hot breakfast on the tray.
” Older Sister-in-law, this is what Major General asked me to send over to you. Eat it while it is still hot,” the young soldier said with a smile on his face.
He asked someone to prepare this?
Leng Zhiyuan stretched her hand out to receive the meal tray. Actually, there were times when that person was…not too bad.
“Where is he?”
“Major General has just finished training, and he is eating breakfast together with everyone else. Major General will have a training session outdoors afterwards, so he can only come back tonight.”
Was he so busy?
“I got it, thank you.” Leng Zhiyuan closed the door.
…
After eating breakfast, Leng Zhiyuan was so bored. She definitely could not roam around freely here, and she could only stay inside this house. She did not have anyone to talk to or anything to do, and she felt entirely horrible.
She opened the door, sat down on the steps, and basked in the sunshine lazily. It was about ten in the morning.
Suddenly, some movements rang out in the distance. She lifted her head up to look over. There were a few army green jeeps driving out quickly, and there were a few motorcycles following after. They seemed to be out on an emergency mission.
What happened?
She took a few steps forward and looked on as the cars brushed past her. At that moment, a motorcycle suddenly tilted, and the person riding the motorcycle fell down.
“Where are all of you going?” Leng Zhiyuan asked the young soldier that had fallen to the ground.
The young soldier stood up quickly and said, ” Older Sister-in-law, we just got news. Major General was out in the wild on training when he was attacked by Scorpion, and we are going over to render assistance right now, but…this is my first time riding a motorcycle…”
The young soldier was at a loss.
Leng Zhiyuan knew about Scorpion. Scorpion was only a codename, and it represented the largest drug dealer in the market. Nobody had ever seen his true appearance, and they only knew that he had wide connections everywhere. He was firm and cruel, and anyone who decided to rebel against him would not have a good outcome.
Zhou Yao and Scorpion…
Scorpion was a person who could attack when the military base was conducting training sessions, so this person must be someone Scorpion saw as an enemy.
“Where is the address?”
“Go out the door and turn left, the back of the mountain around 500m away. I do not know the exact location, but Major General disappeared from the training location… Ay, Older Sister-in-law!” The young soldier had yet to finish speaking, and his collar was tugged. As he froze like a small chick, he was already pulled off to another spot.
When he raised his gaze up to look again, Leng Zhiyuan was on the motorcycle, and the motorcycle disappeared into thin air, leaving the young soldier with a face full of dust.
The young soldier was shocked. Older Sister-in-law is so cool.
…
Leng Zhiyuan reached the back of the mountain. It was surrounded by the forest, and the geographical location was extremely complicated. The army soldiers that stepped out of the jeeps were checking the location. She had a look around before she immediately leaped into a part of the forest.
It was winter now, and the trees were all frozen. There was only a bare tree left, and it was extremely eerie. Leng Zhiyuan had a look around her surroundings and went towards the barren land in the east. It was not suitable for a sudden attack, and she quickly ran west.
She ran over to the depths of the mountain. She was sensitive and had a whiff of the smell of gunpowder. She took a few steps forward and parted the tall vines. There were signs of someone digging up a hole in the mud, and a sniper…had stayed at this spot before.
Sniper?
Leng Zhiyuan snorted coldly. It seemed like this Scorpion wanted Zhou Yao to die.
She continued to run towards the depths of the mountain. Zhou Yao came here for wild training. He definitely did not have enough ammunition. When he was met with an opponent attacking him, he would definitely find the best spot to hide himself.
Where could be considered to be the best spot to hide?
Leng Zhiyuan changed directions and headed northwest.
She ran for some distance when she heard the sound of bullets firing. She had a good look, and there were around ten people in front of her. Although they had used dried twigs to conceal themselves, they were now being attacked.
A net suddenly fell from the tall branches, and a soldier was trapped. He was just like a fish trapped in the net before being dragged out front.
“Xiao Zhi!” An alarmed shout rang out together with his soft cursing.
Leng Zhiyuan had a prior impression of this Xiao Zhi. He was Zhou Yao’s subordinate, and she’d interacted with him before in Myanmar. She found that these men serving as soldiers were extremely honest and naïve.
The gunfire stopped, and a handsome figure stood up suddenly. He was about to run over in the direction that Xiao Zhi disappeared to.
She stepped forward quickly, tugged that person’s sleeve, and said, “You cannot go there!”
Zhou Yao turned his head back, and when he saw Leng Zhiyuan’s small, cold face, he asked, “Why are you here?”
There was alarm in his gaze, and he looked behind him. His soldiers that were supposed to aid him had not arrived, but she was the first one to rush over. He had not judged this woman wrong; she had potential.
Leng Zhiyuan did not reply, and she looked towards the depths of the mountain. It was extremely calm there as if Xiao Zhi was sucked into an extremely large black hole. She said, “They have stopped attacking. They must want to attract you to go over to save him. I think that the area in front of us must be covered in traps. There is someone in the trees, and there are mines. It will only turn out bad if you go forward.”
