11. The Looming Danger
Translator: Alanese Fantasy“Big brother, our informer… was caught by He Jingyan’s men.” At this moment, in a dim basement, a man, trembling with fear and streaming with sweat, swallowed secretly and lowered his head to report to the man facing away from him.
The man, who had been called ‘Boss’, was tall and sturdy, exuding the signal of danger like a beast. He raised an evil smile and gave out coldness in his eyes, “Was caught.” The two simple words startled that man, who consequently hurriedly said, “I will dispatch a smarter subordinate as the informer next time. Big brother, give me another chance, please.” His hands were trembling, and the cold sweat was heavily dripping from the pores on his head. He was too frightened to take a breath hard after he had finished his words; however, before he got to say more, another man standing aside had already pulled the trigger at him and ended his life without any hesitation.
“What about your men? Is everything all right?” Ignoring the twitching man beside his feet, the boss said in a cold and unmerciful tone.
The man who had pulled the trigger put his gun away with no emotion on his face as if it were just a common thing as his daily routine. “They have already been dispatched to make an ambush along the road from Zuo Bo’s prinson to the troop. He Jingyan usually takes the car there, and today will be his last day to be alive.” ‘So is the damn man, Long Shen.’
At the thought of the name of Long Shen inwardly, the man clenched his fists with his eyes filled with hatred.
The boss with his back to him didn’t give any responses but gave a sharp glance at the man. Then, the boss coldly drew back the eyes and said, “If you fail the mission this time, we will lose a good chance to kill them.”
“Understood. Please leave it to me. I will definitely send Long Shen and He Jingyan to hell.”
‘I will revenge for my elder sister. Just wait and see, Long Shen.’ The man thought to himself.
“How much intelligence does the informer who was caught know?” The boss cast a sidelong glance with danger.
“Just some inessential information. Nothing would He Jingyan get from him.” ‘He is not a subordinate of mine. How can I reveal our intelligence to him without any vigilance?’
The boss didn’t get back to him immediately this time. He was looking through the small window in front of him and listening the loud slogan shouting outside, finally indifferently saying, “I leave this affair to you, and don’t let anyone else to meddle.” After a while, the boss added, “I heard that today was the wedding day for He Jingyan. Is it true?” He grimly curved up his lips coldly with a frightening look.
The man, Xing Chen, was stunned, seeming like that he didn’t expect this question from his boss, but said, “The bride, called Xu Nuannuan, is from the Xu Family, a nouveau riche in recent years. It has been heard that she is the only one accepted by the division commander.” ‘It is said that this girl is a spoiled daughter and homebody. What value does she have to win over He Bingwei?’
‘The bride was even chosen by that old foxy man?’ The boss put on a cold smile on his face, which looked even more frightening, ‘That’s interesting.’
“The girl is physically weak, so it’s not a tough task to catch her.” Xing Chen, by implication, suggested kidnapping Xu Yang with the help of his informer on He Jingyan’s side.
The boss seemed to agree with his idea but then disapprovingly sneered, “What kind of person do you think He Jingyan is? Do you really think that he will get himself entangled with love?” ‘He’s definitely not like that.’
“If He Jingyan is lucky enough to survive today, then next time, it will be his wife to die.” He obviously implied Xing Cheng to get well-prepared in case of some incident. However, Xing Chen crinkled up his eyebrow because he thought that his capability had been questioned, but he only replied, “Yes, sir.”
With no further talks, the boss walked out of the dim basement and said without looking back, “Clean this up.”
Xing Chen didn’t dare to slack off and quickly responded. Then he gave a glance at the subordinates standing outside the door and ordered them to bury the body.
