33: Chapter 33 About Fishing
Su Yunling finally deigned to lift his gaze from the script, placing a bookmark in the middle of the page he had read before closing the script and standing up.
“Third Brother, shall we, perhaps climb out the window?
Who knows how many might be laying in ambush outside…” Before he could finish speaking, knocking sounds came from outside the door again.
“Master, it’s all taken care of.” After the knocking, a vigorous voice came from outside, a voice Tang Yichen knew all too well.
It was Yun Yan’s voice.
What’s he doing here?” Tang Yichen was a bit confused, wasn’t he supposed to have returned to the capital?
Without hurry, Su Yunling strolled to the door and opened it.
As the door opened, a strong scent of blood rushed to greet them.
Standing outside was a man with a burly figure, dressed in black combat attire, holding a gun, and on his chest was a strikingly conspicuous Kun, the distinctive emblem of the Ever Winning Army.
Seeing Su Yunling and Tang Yichen, Yun Yan respectfully began to speak, “Master, Fourth Master.”
Feeling slightly awkward at the scene, Tang Yichen coughed lightly and jumped down from the cabinet.
Then, as if nothing were amiss, he nodded towards Yun Yan.
He was definitely not scared, it was just the various coincidences of today, and Gu Xiaoxi’s phrase, “certain death,” that had spooked him, yes, that was it.
It’s fine, it’s not the first time losing face in front of Yun Yan.
“Master, for this operation, our side had no casualties, we killed 27 ambushers, captured 7 alive, and for now, have not discovered anyone who has escaped.” Yun Yan reported the outcome to Su Yunling.
Su Yunling’s peach-blossom eyes slightly narrowed as he spoke casually, “Missing two.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Yan paused for a moment, then immediately said, “This subordinate will begin a search immediately.”
After speaking, he turned around and took his men to conduct the search.
Su Yunling casually walked out of the room.
In the corridor, the air was heavy with the scent of blood, with people clad in black combat attire bustling about, managing the scene.
“Third Brother, what’s the situation?” Tang Yichen, looking at the scene before him, expressed his bewilderment.
“Angel’s people.” Su Yunling’s eyes lowered slightly, and his right thumb lightly touched the silver ring on his left ring finger, rubbing it gently, his eyes dark and enigmatic.
How did they suddenly enter the country again?” Upon hearing this, Tang Yichen furrowed his brows slightly, “They’re like a bad penny.”
“They came for you and Old Fu,” Su Yunling said with a light tone.
At those words, Tang Yichen was taken aback, as if he had just realized something, “So your and Second Brother’s visit to Yan City wasn’t really for Yue Ying, but was a fishing expedition?”
Listening to Tang Yichen’s words, Su Yunling looked up at him, “He originally planned to use himself as bait.
“So, you two switched the bait to me?” Tang Yichen stared wide-eyed at Su Yunling, disbelief written across his face.
That day, when he came looking for Third Brother, the crew was shooting near Yueqi Village, and he did indeed see Second Brother.
However, neither Second Brother nor Third Brother mentioned searching for Yue Ying, and Third Brother seemed to be loafing about, joining up with the crew.
He was puzzled at the time, wondering why Second Brother, always so busy, had suddenly changed his ways.
A few days ago, Second Brother suddenly left.
At the time Tang Yichen didn’t think much of it, as Second Brother was always known to be busy.
But now, thinking it over, it seemed they had switched the bait to him, which is why he left!
Hearing Tang Yichen’s questions, Su Yunling raised his eyebrows, giving him a look that said your guess is right.
“Isn’t that, like, devoid of any conscience?” Tang Yichen, who had been kept in the dark the entire time, protested against their behavior.
This way, you won’t seem superfluous,” Su Yunling said, a careless and lazy smile playing upon his lips.
You believe that I won’t go dark on you?!
