Chapter 463 The Relationship Between Soldiers and Bandits
Chapter 463 The Relationship Between Soldiers and Bandits
"I need to rush back to cook." Chi Moqing took a can of prenatal milk powder.
Leng Yan froze, glancing instinctively at his shopping cart, which was filled with snacks that women love. She couldn't help but clench her fist, feeling incredibly jealous.
Thinking back to their seamless teamwork back then, and the days she spent with Chi Moqing, even though Chi Moqing was only with her out of necessity to extract information from her, those days were still enough for her to cherish for a lifetime.
If he hadn't gotten married, perhaps she could have felt a little better. Even if she couldn't have him, watching from afar would have been enough, as if he still belonged to her alone. But he was married, and he doted on his wife. How could she, who had been infatuated with him for so many years, bear this?
"When did Chief Chi become so domestic?" She smiled with a complicated expression.
Chi Moqing looked at her coldly: "When you meet someone you like, you can't help yourself."
Leng Yan's heart suddenly clenched: "Is that so? I've known you for so many years but I've never tasted your cooking. I wonder if I have the honor?"
"No." Chi Moqing's refusal was ruthless, which made Leng Yan lose face, but she still held back and said pitifully, "Moqing, are you still angry about what I did to Yan Zuozuo last time? I was just jealous and lost my temper. I know I was wrong now. How about I go to her in person to apologize? I just beg you not to treat me like this..."
Chi Moqing's eyes turned cold: "Leng Yan, don't force me to take action against you."
If anyone dares to have designs on his wife, he will show her no mercy. He's been dealing with the Zha Sha organization for years without taking action, simply to prepare for a swift and decisive victory. But if Leng Yan dares to have any designs on his wife, he wouldn't hesitate to quietly eliminate her first, ensuring no one will notice.
Leng Yan's heart felt like it had been punched hard, the pain making it hard to breathe. After all these years apart, hadn't he missed her at all? Instead, had he become even more impatient with her?
Back in the army, she and Ding Le were the only two women there. Although Chi Moqing appeared aloof, she knew he cared deeply for them. Ding Le was a tomboy; she was convinced Chi Moqing wouldn't be interested in her, but rather in herself…
In her opinion, Chi Moqing was also attracted to her, if it weren't for what happened later...
"We're comrades-in-arms after all..."
Chi Moqing looked at her with a half-smile: "I thought we were like soldiers and thieves." With that, he pushed the shopping cart towards the checkout counter. Seeing Leng Yan relentlessly chasing after him, a cold smile slowly crept onto his lips. "Leng Yan, don't humiliate yourself!"
Leng Yan paused, her eyes filled with unconcealed heartache. Had he been so cruel to her?
Watching Chi Moqing's departing figure, she narrowed her eyes. Even if she couldn't have Chi Moqing, no one else could!
Just then, her phone rang. "You saw your old flame? Are you heartbroken?"
The other person's sinister voice sent a chill down her spine. She quickly composed herself and gave a cold laugh, "I saw them, but as for the heartache... I feel even more hatred now..."
Years ago, in order to save her father, she had no choice but to join the leader of the Zha Sha organization. It's not that he's been bad to her these past few years, but this man is gloomy, terrifying, and has a strange mind. She has no idea what he's thinking. Every day she's with him feels like she's living in fear, worse than death.
"Woman, never lie to me." A deep, eerie voice came from the other person, seemingly carrying a warning. He paused, then added, "Do you really want Chi Moqing that much?"
Leng Yan: "!!!"
“As long as you do a good job, I'll give you that man as a gift. But…” The other person’s voice grew increasingly eerie, “Until things are done, you better behave yourself, understand?”
Leng Yan shivered involuntarily, took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"Very good." With a sinister laugh from the other party, the phone was disconnected.
Leng Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Within the entire Zha Sha organization, she was second only to the leader. Yet, this very person terrified her, and every day spent with her was like a nightmare.
With twenty minutes left before she was supposed to leave work, Yan Zuozuo glanced at the protesting crowd downstairs and couldn't help but twitch her lips. These people had so much energy; it seemed they were planning to wait for her until she got off work.
Chi Moqing said he was coming to pick her up, so he's probably already outside. He's a very punctual man; he wouldn't call to urge her before get off work hours are over. She frowned. How was she going to get out now?
Sure enough, Chi Moqing's phone rang as soon as it was time to leave work. "I'll be waiting for you at the back door."
Although there were also protesters at the back door, there were far fewer of them. More importantly, the protesters at the front had already been blocked by the police, and there had even been clashes, so the people at the back door rushed to help.
Yan Zuozuo slipped out the back door silently, but was spotted by the person who insisted on staying behind. The person raised their arm and shouted, "Yan Zuozuo is out!"
Everyone rushed over.
Yan Zuozuo was startled and immediately jumped into the car, shouting, "Honey, run!"
Chi Moqing glanced at the people chasing after him, stepped on the gas, and sped off.
Yan Zuozuo finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Honey, you have no idea, they took turns eating today, and some people didn't even eat. They were really persistent."
"Everything will be fine tomorrow, don't worry." He said calmly, but there was an undeniable firmness in his eyes.
Yan Zuozuo looked up. Had her husband done something again?
Before she could even ask a question, Chi Moqing's phone rang. It was Jian Ning calling. "Chief, we just managed to get Mr. Snowden's signal, but he quickly blocked it again."
"Yes, continue the investigation."
Jian Ning paused for a moment and then said, "There's one more thing, it's about my sister-in-law."
Chi Moqing narrowed his eyes: "I'll call you in ten minutes." After saying that, he continued driving home at a leisurely pace.
When he got home, he handed the juice to Yan Zuozuo and said, "I'm going to the study to make a phone call. You can rest for a while."
Yan Zuozuo nodded. Although she seemed fine on the surface, she felt uneasy every time she saw Chi Moqing avoiding her while making phone calls. She lowered her eyes and tightened her grip on the cup.
When Chi Moqing called Jian Ning, he heard him say, "Last time, the chief asked me to investigate the relationship between Snowden and my sister-in-law, which led to a car accident involving my sister-in-law's grandmother years ago, which should be related to the Bourbon family."
Chi Moqing frowned: "Murder?"
"Based on the current evidence, there is a very high probability that it was murder."
"reason."
"It's possible that my sister-in-law's maternal grandmother had some evidence, or it could have been a crime of passion. The situation back then was very complicated and has not been fully investigated yet."
"Where is the mastermind behind this?"
"It cannot be confirmed at the moment, but there are indications that Snowden's two grandsons and Miss Judy are not his biological children."
Chi Moqing's heart sank: "I understand, continue the investigation."
After hanging up, Chi Moqing stood thoughtfully by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing intently out the window. His little wife was the woman he loved most in his life, and if he could, he would shield her from all pain, as long as she was happy.
However, no matter how hard he tries or how powerful he becomes, some things that are destined to happen seem unavoidable.
He didn't want to see her sad and in tears, but things didn't turn out as he hoped.
He returned to the living room and saw Yan Zuozuo looking distressed. He sat down beside her, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her forehead. "What's wrong?"
"Jian Ning's phone call just now?" Yan Zuozuo looked at him with her big, watery eyes, sensing that the man beside her seemed to have something on his mind. "What did she say?"
She asked casually, but she was very nervous inside. Something that could make Chi Moqing so anxious must be no small matter.
Chi Moqing's fingers continued to stroke her small face: "There was a little accident when we were tracking Mr. Snowden, but it's nothing serious, don't worry."
It would be a miracle if I wasn't worried!
"What's the big deal?"
Chi Moqing smiled: "We were discovered, and then we lost signal. Don't worry, Jian Ning will handle it. If all else fails, there's always Ding Le."
Chi Moqing's words made perfect sense, but Yan Zuozuo didn't quite believe them. His expression was still somewhat heavy, and her heart was pounding with anxiety.
Noticing his wife's change in mood, Chi Moqing lowered his head. "We have indeed encountered some trouble. If Jian Ning and the others cannot handle it well, I will intervene. Don't you trust your husband?"
Yan Zuozuo shook her head and hugged him tightly. "I was just worried about you. As long as you are safe and sound by my side, I will be satisfied."
"Don't worry, I will always stay by your side."
Late at night, on a street corner in S City, a woman, perfectly disguised, sat holding a pile of money. "Well done. Tomorrow, continue the protest downstairs at Fan Hua Design Building and completely ruin that bitch Yan Zuozuo's reputation!"
"Don't worry, leave everything to us." With that, the man took the money and left.
The woman, her disguise perfect, slowly stood up. Did she think that sending her abroad would really make her leave and let that bitch Yan Zuozuo go? Since she wouldn't let her have an easy time, she wouldn't have an easy time either!
She refused to believe that her father would truly stand idly by and do nothing about it, even as things progressed. She sneered and was about to leave when suddenly several tall men emerged from the alley and surrounded her. The situation was so sudden that before Chu Xinyuan could react, everything went black, and she fainted.
The next day, when Yan Zuozuo went to work, she noticed a few more people moving around in front of the Fan Hua Design Building. They were unfamiliar faces, dressed casually, but their upright figures seemed somewhat familiar. She raised an eyebrow and took the elevator back to her office.
Cai Keren placed the vegetable juice in front of her, and Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. "Why did you change it?"
"This is what President Chi... no, General Chi instructed, saying that drinking too much fruit juice is not good, and that it should be paired with vegetable juice appropriately."
Yan Zuozuo smiled, feeling sweet inside.
Soon, Cai Keren gave the other two cups to Fox and Ding Le. Strangely, the two of them actually said thank you.
Cai Keren was very satisfied, and she walked out with a proud gesture and a puff of chest.
It seemed the three of them got along well. Yan Zuozuo nodded and took out a newspaper to browse the news. She had wanted to read while eating breakfast, but Chi Moqing had taken it away, saying it was bad for digestion. Reluctantly, she had to read it now.
But just as she opened the newspaper, before she even had a chance to read the headline, the office door was pushed open, and an arrogant woman barged in, followed by an enraged Cai Keren.
"Director, I'm sorry, I couldn't stop her..."
