“Good, good, good! It’s good that he’s alright, it’s good that he’s alright! Tell Chi Yang that I’m fine too.”
“Mmhmm.”
“Big Brother Chi Yang, Grandpa wants to tell you that he’s fine too. I’ve examined Grandpa, and there’s nothing too serious. I’m currently giving him acupuncture in the infirmary, so you don’t have to worry. Just go ahead with your work.”
Zhong Nuannuan knew that Chi Yang still had a lot to follow up on. After this, his workload would multiply.
With this, Chi Yang’s mission in Jiang District was accomplished.
Chi Yang felt a tightness in his chest. He was so touched that there was no way he could expel this tightness. How much good karma had his family accumulated to get a wonderful wife like Nuannuan?
He was not good with words. Since Nuannuan did not allow him to thank her, he did not know how else to express the guilt and gratitude in his heart. Eventually, he only grunted in agreement and replied, “Wait for me to come home.” before hanging up.
Then, he called Leng Jinpeng.
After the explosion, Leng Jinpeng lay on his stomach against the edge of the cliff in a daze. His eyes were surrounded in redness, and the streaking tears that rolled off his cheeks were swallowed by the dust that emerged rapidly.
He refused to believe that Chi Yang, who completed countless dangerous and impossible missions, would meet his end today.
Neither did he expect Chi Yang to die such a tragic death.
At this moment, Leng Jinpeng was filled with regret. If he could just realize that Chi Yang was the target of those repeated assassination attempts instead of him, he would never have allowed Chi Yang to walk behind him.
If Leng Jinpeng was the one who walked with Luo Shangyi; if he walked with a gun pointed at Luo Shangyi, Luo Shangyi would not have exposed himself and blown up the whole building.
Unfortunately, he ruined everything.
Suddenly, Leng Jinpeng shuddered at a sudden realization.
That building exploded. What about the grand marshal?
Did Nuannuan successfully escape with the grand marshal?
“Commander-in-chief, it’s for you.”
A special forces soldier approached Leng Jinpeng and handed him the phone.
However, Leng Jinpeng remained unmoved. He continued to kneel on the ground in a daze. He refused to accept this ending.
If the price of finding out the spy’s identity was Chi Yang and the grand marshal’s lives, he would rather never find out who the spy was.
“Hey, the commander-in-chief isn’t answering.… Yes!”
After receiving the order, the special forces soldier gathered his courage and placed the phone next to Leng Jinpeng’s ear.
“My subordinate said you’re not answering your phone. You’re not mourning for me, are you?”
Leng Jinpeng’s eyes widened when he heard that it was Chi Yang who called him on the phone.
However, Leng Jinpeng’s face was facing downward. Since he had his back to everyone, nobody saw the happy surprise on his face.
“Don’t act rashly. We haven’t caught the biggest traitor yet.”
Leng Jinpeng, “…!!!”
Luo Shangyi was already dead. Never would he expected that there would still be one left!
That meant that there were two spies in his military base!
This piece of news drenched his back in cold sweat.
“Our biggest traitor is Qu Mingyi. Nuannuan says that his wife was a test subject for KE Organization and was a Rank-3S killer.”
Leng Jinpeng, “…!!!”
“Even though Qu Mingyi isn’t a test subject, we shouldn’t underestimate his skills and cautiousness as a spy. You’re not in your best condition right now, so you must be careful of him. Nuannuan and the rest are fine, so Qu Mingyi may receive a call soon. I’m already heading your way, so you have to stall for as much time as possible. Remember, if he answers his phone, you should stay away from him immediately.”
