The photo shows a pure and lovely girl. Wang Yu recognizes her as the kind-hearted girl he met at the train station before—Qin Yu.
How could it be her?
Wang Yu furrowed his brows, unable to comprehend that the target of this mission was such a girl.
...
After discussing the mission, it was already 11 a.m. when Wang Yu left Yage Xuan.
He walked to the door, took out his phone, and dialed Liu Yun Yun's number.
"Hello, Wang Yu." Liu Yun Yun immediately recognized the number since they exchanged contacts yesterday.
"Liu Yun Yun, can you help me find a moving van? It doesn't need to be too big, a minivan would be fine," Wang Yu said.
He had just made a request to his new boss, Luo Xiaoyong, for temporary housing, and Luo Xiaoyong had readily arranged it for him. He was new to the area and didn't know many people, so he had to ask Liu Yun Yun for help.
"A move? You found a place already?" Liu Yun Yun asked, surprised at how quickly Wang Yu acted.
"Yeah, just a temporary place. I'll let my parents stay there for a while. The wooden shed is really not fit for people to live in," Wang Yu said seriously.
"Alright, I'll get off work in an hour. Leave the van arrangement to me." Liu Yun Yun readily agreed, happy that Wang Yu's parents wouldn't have to stay in the shed anymore.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Yu took a taxi and instructed the driver to go to the market. He wanted to buy some nice ingredients to cook a meal for his parents.
It wasn't until ten minutes after he left that Luo Xiaoyong finally came out of the building.
She was cautious and reserved. To avoid drawing attention, she deliberately left at a different time.
Across from Yage Xuan, there was a parking lot where her car was parked.
After getting into the car, she dialed Liang Zhengwu's number.
"Did you see that kid, Wang Yu?" Liang Zhengwu's voice came from the phone.
"Yes, Uncle Liang, I saw him," Luo Xiaoyong replied politely.
"How was he?" Liang Zhengwu asked curiously.
"Nothing special, just an average impression," Luo Xiaoyong said honestly. She didn't find Wang Yu particularly impressive.
"Is he really as capable as you said?" She even started doubting Wang Yu's abilities.
"We're in Yunzhou, a border city where various forces are tangled, and this mission is so difficult. I'm worried he might not be up to it," Luo Xiaoyong said, her brow furrowing with concern.
Hearing this, Liang Zhengwu said sternly, "Xiaoyong, in terms of abilities, you can doubt anyone, but never doubt Wang Yu. His capabilities are beyond your imagination. You'll realize it later. I only work with capable people, and Wang Yu is definitely one of them."
"Of course, he does have a lot of flaws. After years of being undercover, he's picked up some bad habits—wild, carefree, and sometimes undisciplined. He's even dared to yell at me. So you'll need to manage him well and guide him."
Luo Xiaoyong was shocked. "Uncle Liang, he dared to yell at you?"
Liang Zhengwu became angry, "That brat dares to do anything! He's yelled at me more than once, but of course, such embarrassing stories should never be told."
"Anyway, this guy is smart, but you'll need to manage him carefully. You're not a kid anymore; maybe it's time to think about settling down. Wang Yu is still single, and heroes love beautiful women."
Luo Xiaoyong blushed and quickly interrupted, "Uncle Liang, what are you talking about? I won't consider relationships until this mission is complete. And even if I do, I would never consider someone like Wang Yu."
"Why not consider Wang Yu? That kid is good at heart. Apart from his flaws, he's actually a great guy," Liang Zhengwu said seriously.
"Even if he's capable, he and I are never going to happen," Luo Xiaoyong said earnestly.
"Why?" Liang Zhengwu asked, pressing for an answer.
"Because he likes men."
"Ha...!"
Liang Zhengwu, who was drinking water, was so shocked that he nearly choked.
The famous Liang Zhengwu, known for his composure, couldn't help but laugh in disbelief. "Wang Yu likes men? Impossible!"
Luo Xiaoyong didn't expect Liang Zhengwu's reaction to be so extreme. Didn't he know about Wang Yu's... special preference, since he was the one who mentored him?
Before Luo Xiaoyong could explain further, suddenly, a "beep beep" sound rang from her watch, and her expression changed instantly. She quickly said into the phone, "Uncle Liang, something urgent has come up, I have to hang up. We'll talk later. Goodbye!"
"Wait, explain more! How could Wang Yu like men? I don't believe it!" Liang Zhengwu shouted, but Luo Xiaoyong had already hung up the phone. She was indeed facing an emergency.
She quickly raised her wrist to reveal a large-screen watch.
The screen flashed with a row of characters.
"Eagle One calling Phoenix, Eagle One calling Phoenix..."
Then the screen displayed a series of dense numeric codes.
The codes were entering quickly at first but then slowed down. The last one appeared only halfway, and then nothing further showed up.
Luo Xiaoyong had a bad feeling, her anxiety growing. Sweat began to bead on her forehead, her face filled with worry and distress.
Just as she was about to activate the call function to contact the other party, the screen suddenly flashed a few large words: Eagle One has fallen, my dear comrades, farewell…
Upon seeing these words, Luo Xiaoyong froze. It felt like time had stopped.
Another valiant comrade had sacrificed.
She clenched her fists, slammed them against the car door, and shouted with rage, "Bastard!"
In the next instant, she started the engine, shifted into gear, and slammed her foot on the accelerator. With a roar, the car shot out like an arrow.
She gripped the steering wheel tightly, gritting her teeth, her eyes fixed ahead, tears silently sliding down her beautiful face.
"I won't let your death be in vain. Revenge! Revenge!" she screamed inwardly.
