"Will you be home for dinner tonight? If you’re not coming, I’ll order takeout."
He really didn’t feel like cooking again.
"Is that how you treat yourself? I care even if you don’t!
You rest, I’ll handle it when I’m done."
Lu Jing’s eyes flickered:
"Okay, then it’s settled."
With someone else cooking, Lu Jing was delighted and even started ordering:
"I want chicken stewed with mushrooms."
Would Jiang Ye ever refuse a request from his wife?
"Alright, what else would you like?"
"Stir-fried bamboo shoots, and you can decide the rest."
After noting it down, the man didn’t delay:
"Wife, I’ll get going now."
Lu Jing saw him to the door, and before he left, the man made sure to hug her tight around the waist:
Lu Jing gently pushed him along.
Mainly because she wasn’t sure if the neighbors might open their doors the next second.
It would be so embarrassing if they saw them.
After Jiang Ye went downstairs, his teammates called him away, straight into the meeting room.
The meeting lasted for a full two hours.
Jiang Ye and Old Qin were the last to leave.
"Old Jiang, is your sister-in-law okay?"
Old Qin must have known about Lu Jing being kidnapped, for how else could he coordinate the work?
Hearing that, Old Qin also felt relieved:
"I was so worried, who did it?" he asked.
Jiang Ye paused in his packing, and his eyes darkened:
Upon hearing this, Old Qin instantly gasped.
It was simply unbelievable.
How could an ordinary person come into contact with those people?
"Back when I was in BD, my last mission was to eliminate that group, one man got away."
Old Qin finally understood:
"Is he caught? Don’t let him slip away again."
In another lifetime, maybe.
Jiang Ye’s lips curled into a fierce smile:
"He doesn’t have the chance anymore."
Realizing this, Old Qin didn’t ask further.
After all, this matter was surely classified, and everyone knew the rules of secrecy.
Jiang Ye packed up his things, looked at his watch: Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
"It’s only five, still early. Want to go for a run?" he asked.
Hearing this, Old Qin shook his head emphatically:
"I better not with these old arms and legs, still got work to handle, I’m off."
He had to hurry away, otherwise, he’d be dragged into running laps.
Old Qin was quick, disappearing in mere seconds.
Jiang Ye shook his head and then left the meeting room.
Soon, a shocking scene unfolded on the training grounds.
"Damn, what’s up with Devil Jiang?"
"Who pissed him off this time?"
"Move along fast, don’t tempt fate."
Otherwise, it would be their own bad luck.
A group quickly scurried away.
Actually, Jiang Ye wasn’t really in the mood to drill the young guys today; he wanted to vent his own frustrations.
So, regarding the surrounding murmurs and such, he simply acted as if he hadn’t heard, and ran incredibly fast.
Three kilometers, five kilometers weren’t enough to satisfy, finally after ten kilometers, he stopped.
Drenched, drops of sweat coming off every single hair strand.
But this run had cleared most of the emotions inside him.
Indeed, there isn’t anything that running can’t solve.
If it doesn’t solve it, just run more laps, there’ll be a time when you won’t be distracted by random thoughts.
