Chapter 316 - Negotiate Evacuation
“Colonel?”
Yan Chengyu was puzzled when Hee Jingyan remained silent, thinking the signal might have been lost.
“Colonel, let me assist my sister-in-law!” Ji Guangming became anxious before Hee Jingyan could respond, especially since Xu Yangyi's side had fallen eerily silent after an intense exchange just a moment ago.
Instead of wandering, Hee Jingyan sent a message to his father, asking for clarity on the situation.
However, all he received was a brief response: There is no need for you to know now. When the time is right, I will tell you.
The time is right?
Hee Jingyan sneered, realizing that if not for today's events, he would still be left in the dark.
Yangyi must be as unaware as I am about this matter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned from the start that he married his sister because she had run away.
“Colonel? Are you still there?”
Ji Guangming was getting increasingly anxious. He called out to Hee Jingyan again, and when he could no longer wait, he began to step out of the car. But just then, Hee Jingyan's voice was heard.
“Wait a bit longer.”
Ji Guangming paused with his hand on the car door, “But what if sister-in-law is in danger?”
Hee Jingyan didn't respond directly but instead dialed a number. After a brief conversation, he said, “There's an ambush nearby; let's assess the situation first.”
These men aren't affiliated with Gong Cheng, nor are they mine. It's more likely they belong to Kerja. If that's the case, Kerja wants me to kill him to prevent any information from being leaked.
There's an ambush?
Ji Guangming finally noticed the surroundings. After a careful look, he spotted a group of suspicious individuals not far away.
Could they be the adjutant's men?
“Colonel, should we call our men back? What if they attack later?”
It might still be possible to recall Tank and the others, as they likely haven't gone too far yet.
However, Hee Jingyan didn't issue any orders, keeping his focus on the car in the distance.
Hee Jingyan was correct in his assumption; those people nearby were indeed sent by Kerja to eliminate Nan Xiao's men.
However, they didn't attack immediately, noticing Hee Jingyan's men were not around. They assumed there was a mistake and quickly reported back to Kerja for further instructions.
“Hee Jingyan's men aren't there?” Kerja was surprised because Loong Qi had reported that Hee Jingyan had already deployed his Dragon Riding Team, so they should be nearby.
“Did you verify this thoroughly?”
“Yes, we investigated and found no signs nearby. Perhaps we were just being overly cautious; it seems Hee Jingyan hasn't noticed anything.”
Was it truly just overthinking?
Kerja looked at Military Advisor Mo, standing opposite him, as if seeking his counsel.
Military Advisor Mo frowned momentarily before saying, “Then let them proceed with kidnapping Hee Jingyan's wife, as planned.”
However, just as Military Advisor Mo finished speaking, one of his subordinates said, “This plan might fail. With Hee Jingyan's wife alone now, acting immediately could lead to chaos, especially if Hee Jingyan arrives soon. Our small team might be outmatched, and capturing him could become a minor issue.”
The subordinate's perspective was more thorough than Military Advisor Mo's.
Military Advisor Mo was displeased upon hearing this, feeling undermined.
