Chapter 1216 - 727: Danger
There are only five members in the Fierce Tiger Yuanzhou Branch. Removing Jing Aixiang, who was captured, leaves only four. If Luo Ye and Zhao Qianqian withdraw now, the chances of successfully rescuing Jing Aixiang will be drastically reduced.
Involving Luo Ye and Zhao Qianqian in the rescue operation was a decision made by Guan Hongjun after thorough analysis. He reported it to Director Lei, who approved it. Yet, unexpectedly, such an incident occurred during the operation.
"What do we do?" Zhao Qianqian asked Luo Ye anxiously, "If anything happens to Jing Aixiang, I’ll feel guilty for life. He wouldn’t have been caught if not for trying to protect us."
"It’s not just for ourselves, this matter..." Luo Ye paused, "Let me think it over first, then we’ll discuss."
Zhao Qianqian lowered her head and stopped speaking. Sensing her gloom, Luo Ye gave her a gentle pat, turned off the frequency sharing, and directly contacted Guan Hongjun: "Captain Guan, did anyone know in advance about Qianqian and I participating in the operation?"
"No, they didn’t. Hmm, I’ve decided, you should withdraw, don’t take this risk."
"Do they have guns?"
"Yes." Guan Hongjun’s answer was very certain.
"Captain Guan, you need to tear open the Northwest Corner."
"Luo Ye, that’s not possible!"
"I’m not reckless, what you need to do is more troublesome than mine."
After a moment of silence from the other end: "Alright, safety first!"
"Safety first!"
After hanging up the call, Luo Ye took out a face paint pen and started painting on her face.
"Luoluo, I’m sorry, earlier I thought you were too heartless, it was my oversight." Zhao Qianqian apologized hesitantly.
"After we complete the task, let’s settle this score." Luo Ye said as she handed the face paint pen to Zhao Qianqian, "Do it yourself, try to paint so even your mother wouldn’t recognize you."
"You..." Zhao Qianqian glared at her in frustration, this damn girl was definitely intentional.
"Qianqian, when we head out, you need to guard Jing Aixiang behind me."
"No way, you can’t always be positioned in dangerous spots, can you?" Zhao Qianqian protested with raised brows, "This makes me feel like I’m just a burden!"
"I’m not a hero, this arrangement is because I have an extraordinary sensitivity to bullets, our aim is to rescue, not harm, so don’t squabble over trivial details, follow my lead." Luo Ye said and began to climb up.
Zhao Qianqian grabbed her: "Luoluo, how can you be so domineering? And your reason is too far-fetched, saying you have an extraordinary sensitivity to bullets, who isn’t sensitive? Everyone feels it when they’re hit."
"I mean it, you’ll see when the time comes, Qianqian, I haven’t lived enough yet." Luo Ye gripped her hand firmly, "We need to cooperate well, that’s the most important."
"Fine, I’m never teaming up with you for an operation again, it’s so unfulfilling." Zhao Qianqian grumbled unhappily.
"Hmm, I don’t want to team up with you either, being with a beautiful person like you is too stressful." Luo Ye said, her lips forming a smirk, "Big Eye Bag Yao probably won’t sleep tonight."
"Luoluo..." Zhao Qianqian helplessly slapped her, "Let’s move!"
"As you command!" Luo Ye responded as she climbed swiftly upward, her shrugging shoulder revealed her little secret, Zhao Qianqian slapped her in frustration, but couldn’t help laughing.
At first, she and Luo Ye thought Big Eye Bag Yao had some skills, being related to a certain Mayor. How could he be so straightforward and domineering?
However, they overestimated Big Eye Bag Yao. Right after the meeting ended that day, Big Eye Bag Yao summoned Zhao Qianqian alone to his office.
He rambled on about various things, summarizing that to succeed in the Cultural Troupe, listening to Big Eye Bag Yao and following his lead was crucial. As for how far one could go, it depended on the stride.
Worried that Zhao Qianqian might not understand, he brazenly mentioned a few names, all prominent figures in the provincial Cultural Troupe.
He said: Those people have special relations with him, hence their fame. As for what those relations entail, Big Eye Bag Yao clearly suggested Mr. Zhao should think boldly and act boldly...
That evening, Big Eye Bag Yao stayed in the office until after midnight.
Some daring ones openly said Big Eye Bag Yao was leaving the door open for the two new young ladies, but alas, they didn’t bite.
That day, Big Eye Bag Yao summoned Zhao Qianqian alone again, reiterated the previous conversation, and even mentioned his brother-in-law, claiming he has deep connections and paths. If one wants to navigate the deep waters freely, it’s up to themselves.
