Chapter 261: Qinghao Walked For 20 Kilometres To Find A Signal (Part 2)

Furthermore, there had been a double agent in the team he led this time. Their whereabouts had been leaked and they met with an ambush midway.

The Bai family was powerful and wealthy, but they were always surrounded by danger, hidden or otherwise. Countless people targeted them in secret and sought Bai Qinghao’s life.

The other party had been fast, prepared and well-trained. Every shot had been fired with the intention to kill. They had clearly come prepared!

Thankfully, he led a team of international top-ranking mercenaries. They fought back with all their might and successfully eliminated all the attackers.

On his side, two bodyguards were seriously injured. He had arranged for a helicopter to take them back to the city for medical treatment. In the process, he had managed to find the identity of the double agent. Originally he planned to interrogate him to find out the identity of their enemy, but the man had killed himself first.

Bai Qinghao had continued leading his team on their original mission – to check the situation here. He had given up on his original choice of location and decided to set the signal station up elsewhere.

In this area, they could not receive any signal until the station was built. Bai Qinghao led his team from the front and needed to constantly provide commands. It was not suitable for him to separate from them.

Furthermore, there were also risks of meeting with an ambush if he moved alone.

However, he truly missed Fang Xinxin far too much.

He had checked the map and knew from previous records that there was an area on the mountain where signal could be received.

This was secretly arranged by the Bai family years ago. It had been meant for civilian use.

This time, he was involved in constructing a signal station that would be used by the government. In the future, it would be employed for receiving top-secret information. Thus, he needed to personally be here and could not leave it in someone else’s hands.

He left instructions for the subsequent steps and confirmed the time he would take to return. Then, he brought two bodyguards and left irregular footsteps to travel twenty kilometres on the mountain. Finally, he arrived at the location.

They had covered uneven ground, passing through the ridges and mud. It was extremely effortful and was akin to running a hundred kilometres on even ground.

The two bodyguards he brought with him were his private bodyguards.

They accompanied him wherever he went. Their only mission was to ensure his safety.

As Bai Qinghao took in Fang Xinxin’s longing-filled gaze, he felt all his exhaustion and bitterness disappearing. “You went to school?”

She was clearly in her school dormitory.

“I want to properly study now,” she responded with a smile.

“En,” the man responded lightly with his cold voice, but his deep feelings could not be concealed.

“Bai Qinghao... Show me your feet.” On the other end, Fang Xinxin suddenly made a request.

His handsome complexion turned cold and his warm gaze abruptly returned to its frigid state. “They are dirty. There’s nothing for you to see.”

He refused her with a stern expression and assumed she would immediately let it go.

To his surprise, Fang Xinxin suddenly pouted and whined. “Qinghao, be obedient. Show it to your baby!”

Bai Qinghao was once again dumbstruck. Was she being affectionate towards him?

A hint of sweetness slowly spread through his heart.

He noticed that his frozen heart had softened slightly.

Still, he could not agree to her request.

“No,” he refused her once more with the same stern expression.

On a certain dormitory bed in Jing Hua University, Fang Xinxin took in her fiancé’s stern expression. She suddenly winked at him. “Handsome, just once?”

This time, he was expressionless and did not make any response.

Perhaps in their past life, Fang Xinxin would have been helpless against Bai Qinghao.

However, right now...

She stood up and held her phone as she walked towards the balcony. She turned the camera to show him the view. “You won’t show it to me? Then I’ll jump down.”
