Chapter 525 Carrying Out a Guard Mission
"Yes. When Grandpa passed away, I secretly sent people to investigate the car accident. After layers of surveillance, we discovered a so-called supplier named Langshan. Unfortunately, he disappeared the day before I sent people to find him, and the trail went cold there!"
Lu Jinye spoke in a deep voice, his eyes filled with malice.
“Just a few days before the car accident that happened between you and me, my father’s informant, who was sent to monitor Caesar, discovered that Wolf Mountain had appeared at one of Caesar Perth’s factories. Wolf Mountain used to be a delivery driver, but now he’s just a warehouse clerk.”
"Uncle Lu, it turns out, never gave up the investigation." This was within Baron's expectations.
“The military has always suspected that Caesar Perth was involved in the previous international smuggling case, but they have been hampered by a lack of direct evidence and witnesses. In addition, Caesar Perth is very cautious, and taking action rashly would only alert him.” Lu Jinye exhaled a breath of turbid air and said quietly, “Fortunately, the opportunity has now come.”
Once Caesar Perth leaves Gotham City, the military will seize Wolf Mountain and use the investigation of Wolf Mountain as a pretext to request a joint manhunt, thereby finding evidence of Caesar Perth's crimes and bringing him to justice!
"So Caesar Perth is most likely a lackey working for the Godfather, and even more likely the murderer who indirectly caused Old Master Lu's death!" Barron's eyes reddened, and his composure, which he had maintained, shattered at this moment. "Master Lu, I want to go to Hong Kong with you and avenge Old Master Lu with my own hands!"
"good."
Faced with Baron's request, Lu Jinye could neither refuse nor was able to refuse.
"By the way, Mr. Lu, communications in Hong Kong have been completely restored." Baron quickly composed himself, though his voice was still a little hoarse. "Should we tell Miss Nini about your awakening and these arrangements?"
"Don't contact her yet. Since the Godfather's people sent me these fabricated photos, they're deliberately trying to create a rift between us. I'll do as they wish. Especially since Wen Ni is focused on her experiments right now, it's best not to distract her."
As he spoke, Lu Jinye turned his head.
His gaze met the dark clouds surging in from the horizon, his eyes deep.
"We are all fulfilling our respective missions, and we are all heading in the same direction from beginning to end. Only by clearing away all obstacles on this path can we achieve a more lasting reunion."
"I hope all this will subside soon, and that the wicked will get their just deserts!" Baron moved to the windowsill, gazing absently at the clouds. "I wonder... how smug little Qin Yuan will be when he sees me in this disheveled state when we get to Hong Kong..."
Achoo!
A port city thousands of miles away.
Qin Yuan, lying in the hospital bed, sneezed countless times.
"This is awful, I'm so miserable. I can't let Baron see me like this, or he'll definitely start mocking me..."
He muttered to himself, pulling the blanket tighter around himself.
Outside the tightly closed isolation room door on one side
Wen Ni was standing there.
She looked at Qin Yuan through the glass window in the door and saw that some color had finally returned to his face, which made her heart, which had been clenched with anxiety, finally relax a little.
"Currently, there are no signs of a resurgence of the coronavirus in Qin Yuan's body."
Li Shiyan's voice came from behind.
He held a pen in his hand, taking notes as he said, "Qin Yuan's health is getting better and better. As long as he continues to rest and take his medication, there shouldn't be any major problems!"
"It's truly fortunate," Wen Ni said softly, almost in a murmur.
“You saved him.” Li Shiyan turned his head to look at her profile.
“It should be said that we saved him.” Wen Ni turned her head and met Li Shiyan’s gaze directly. “Without your medical staff’s continuous rescue efforts, even if I had given him this medicine, he might not have made it through.”
"Treating the sick and saving lives is our duty. These are things we should do. How dare we take credit?" A rare, faint smile appeared on Li Shiyan's usually stern face.
"No matter what, I still want to thank you." Wen Ni had seen it all. For countless days and nights, they worked tirelessly, risking their lives to save one student after another, including Qin Yuan.
"If you really want to thank me, treat me to a meal after the pandemic is over." After saying that, Li Shiyan held up one finger and said in a deep voice, "You can only treat me."
"Um?"
Wen Ni raised an eyebrow, but before she could respond, she heard Nurse Ni's voice from behind her.
"Oh my? What's making our usually stern and serious Li so happy?"
"Of course I'm happy that the patient's condition is improving." Li Shiyan's tone was indeed relaxed.
"Indeed, the infection rate and severe case rate have dropped slightly recently, which is something to be happy about!" Nurse Ni pursed her lips with a teasing look, then quickly regained her serious expression and nudged Wen Ni's arm. "The landline in your lab has been ringing non-stop, go back and see if there's anything urgent?"
"Really? I'll go back right away."
Wen Ni nodded to them and then walked away.
Watching her figure disappear
Nurse Xiao Ni couldn't resist turning around, curious.
"Dr. Li, you're quite different when you're with Wen Ni than when you're with us. You haven't fallen for her, have you?"
"You like it?" Li Shiyan raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah, right.” Xiao Ni raised her index finger and shook it. “Let me remind you, I heard that Wen Ni has a boyfriend. You’re such a handsome and high-quality man, you can’t be a mistress.”
"Yeah."
"yes."
"What a pity, I love the competition and the scrambling, that's what makes it exciting." The tone was deep and teasing.
"ah??"
Xiao Ni paused, staring blankly as Li Shiyan walked past her.
Did she mishear what I just said?
These handsome, aloof, and seemingly celibate men actually said something like that? It doesn't fit their persona at all!
You must have misheard.
Nurse Xiao Ni patted her protective mask to clear her head before catching up and going downstairs together.
Second-floor laboratory
Wen Ni answered the incessantly ringing phone.
"Hello? This is the Port City Laboratory."
"A thousand kills."
"Captain Lu?"
Wen Ni's nerves tensed instantly.
Every time Lu Zhenbang calls her by her code name, it means that he has a mission for her to carry out!
"The Burmese royal princess is visiting China as a peace envoy, and she has brought some supplies to aid the country in its fight against the epidemic. She will be personally handing them over in the port city." Lu Zhenbang didn't waste any words and went straight to the point. "The princess's safety is of utmost importance. She absolutely cannot have anything happen to her on Chinese soil. But I don't trust anyone else to handle the handover and protection... I know your Burmese language, you're very fluent, right?"
“I understand what you mean.” Wen Ni immediately realized. “When will that princess arrive?”
"The meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow. Long Ren and Leng Feng will also be there with men to protect the princess." On the phone, Lu Zhenbang's voice was more serious than ever before. "You must be extremely vigilant and not let anything go wrong, understand?"
"clear."
Wen Ni's response was firm, composed, and reliable.
Two days later
That is, the day the Burmese royal princess arrived in the port city.
10 a.m.
Xinghai Square, Municipal Government of Port City.
Rows of military and police units were deployed in orderly formations, both in visible and invisible places!
The streets were deserted, traffic was controlled, and no private cars were allowed to pass freely.
Wait a short while for two or three minutes
Three silver-white bulletproof cars could be seen slowly driving in at the same speed and maintaining a steady distance.
Several large trucks carrying goods followed behind it!
The vehicle drove into the square and came to a smooth stop.
The bulletproof car door in the middle is open.
A young girl dressed in an elegant long dress stepped out of the car.
