“I got it!” Jack said with a deep voice. “Send people to follow them and get air support from the military. I’ll be there right away!”
“Yes!”
Jack hung up and looked at Mu Yuan intently. He rushed forward and hugged him. “Xiao Yuan, see you soon!”
“Do you need my help? I…”
“We did not ask for international support. It’s hard.” Jack smiled lightly. “Don’t worry.”
Mu Yuan looked as he walked away, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart as if someone had poked it. It was clear that when foreign military officers had no orders, they were neither allowed to participate in other countries’ affairs nor allowed to get involved in disputes in other countries.
Jack walked away hurriedly, and he could only make time to wave goodbye to Tong Hua before leaving. Mu Yuan stood at the highest floor for quite some time. Shan Ning came and said, “Yuan yuan, time for us to leave too.”
“Mmh. I know!” Mu Yuan said. “I’ll inform Ling.”
Mu Yuan went to bid goodbye to Ye Ling.
“I have a mission. I need to go. May you recover well and return home soon. This time, Lil Chimp managed to bypass our men and come here. I had always felt that the police of the Golden City was involved in this. Staying here isn’t safe,” Mu Yuan said caringly. “Black Rose does not identify herself as an enemy or a friend. What’s more, we are not on the same path. I heard from Zhong Ran that she had once asked to meet you.”
“Zhong Ran did not mention that to me.”
“Don’t meet her. I have a feeling that her intentions are not good,” Mu Yuan said.
“Shen Qianshu and Tong Hua are with me. Before I can get up, I would never meet anyone,” Ye Ling said. “Find the right time and return quickly. Stay safe.”
“Don’t worry.”
Mu Yuan leaned down and patted him on his shoulders. He did not say much. Then, he left with Shan Ning and Guan Zhou. When they left, the small courtyard became quiet.
Zhong Ran was still dealing with the aftermath of the situation. In about an hour later, news of Black Rose rescuing terrorists made international headlines. In this battle, six agents were sacrificed. Shen Qianshu and Tong Hua looked at the news, and they were stunned. The incident occurred less than 20 kilometers from their residence.
This matter gained international attention and was made into a huge ordeal.
“The group of teen girls can’t be… dead!” Tong Hua met those people from the second floor once. They did not look big, and they looked young. If they were from China, they would probably still be attending high school. All of them looked radiant.
There was no clear announcement as to who had died. All they knew was that some people had died from Black Rose’s attack. The Golden City was involved in this incident too. It was deadly.
Shen Qianshu sat beside Ye Ling and read the news softly. “If I did not come to the Golden City, I would never have known that a beauty I just met could turn into a cold corpse in the blink of an eye.”
Shen Qianshu was startled. She smiled. “Of course, I won’t. You would protect me.”
“Yeah.”
Shen Qianshu looked at the sky depressingly. “I feel that this place is too unsafe. Master, we should return soon.”
“Don’t worry. It’s not so easy for the Golden City to get out of this mess this time. They won’t have time to come at me. Once I can take the airplane, we will head home!”
“Alright!”
Shen Qianshu did not tell Ye Ling that she did not wish for Ye Ling to stay in the Golden City. It was mainly for protection against Black Rose. This woman had wanted to meet Ye Ling, and she sounded as if she was very familiar and close to him. Yet, she got involved in such a huge case now. Shen Qianshu did not wish for Ye Ling to be associated with Black Rose in any way.
