Chapter 560 Heroes Emerge in Troubled Times
Dozens of kilometers away,
Burmese military headquarters positions.
It wasn't until midnight that the Burmese officers received news that their own troops were in danger, and they still couldn't quite believe it!
"What did you say?! Say it again!"
"Sir, we were ambushed by the enemy in a narrow passage at the rear of our retreat. Everyone else was killed, but I was the only one allowed to return to deliver a message to the general..."
The only surviving driver of the medical vehicle knelt on the ground.
The officer in front of him was holding a wired telephone and talking on it.
A deep, husky voice came from the other end of the phone: "What message did she ask you to pass on?"
"She said...you don't need to go through all that trouble to find her, and the next time we meet, she'll take your head...she also said the soldiers who died this time are your gift to her..."
"Insolence!" The officer raised his foot.
The driver was kicked to the ground, then got up and knelt back down, trembling, "This isn't what I said, it's what that woman said herself! I asked her who she was, and she said that as long as I relay these words, you will naturally know who she is!"
"I see."
His voice sounded gloomy on the phone.
The next second, the connection was cut off with a beeping sound.
"No wonder we haven't been able to find her lately. It turns out she's hiding deep in the mountains?" Ye Zhishu watched as Li Shiyan hung up the phone and turned to take action. "I'll take some men to search the mountains right now!"
"etc."
Li Shiyan slammed down the phone with a loud bang, clearly in a bad mood and furious. "Foolish thing! She ran away long ago, something that happened a few hours ago! Besides, she's been hiding for so long, and now she suddenly dares to jump out and provoke us, which means she's no longer afraid of us finding her, because she's confident we won't find her..."
"Then, sir, what should we do?"
"You ask me what to do about everything? What am I keeping you all for? To eat and do nothing?" Li Shiyan raised his sharp eyebrows and reached out to pinch Ye Zhishu's chin. "Besides pleasing me in bed, what other use do you have?"
"I……"
Ye Zhishu bit her lower lip tightly, not daring to meet his gaze. Her face was deathly pale, and she couldn't utter a single word.
"Forget it, I shouldn't have had any expectations of you. You and Wen Ni are ultimately incomparable." Li Shiyan raised an eyebrow, his words once again piercing Ye Zhishu's sensitive nerves. Her face turned ashen, but he remained unmoved, his eyes filled with disdain, and asked again, "Did you send someone to investigate Lu Jinye? Have you received any news? Song Yanfeng is already dead, and Wen Ni and Qin Yuan are still in Myanmar. He's quite patient, not making a single move?"
“The entire China-Myanmar border is now sealed off, and all our spies in China have been eliminated…” Ye Zhishu lowered his head, his clasped hands trembling, as if he realized that his answer would displease Li Shiyan!
Li Shiyan was indeed unhappy. In his anger, he threw an ashtray and smashed it next to Ye Zhishu's feet.
"Don't tell me you found nothing again!"
"Master, please don't be angry! Although we can't find anything... well, Lu Jinye definitely can't find any information about us either. His henchmen can't infiltrate us at all. Right now, he's probably just anxiously waiting! After all, he and Wen Ni have such a deep relationship. Now that Wen Ni's life or death is unknown, he must be suffering every day!" Ye Zhishu hurriedly added, flustered.
After she finished speaking, the room was quiet for a while.
"Suffering? That's true. The most tormenting things are the unknown ones!" Li Shiyan's expression shifted, and his anger subsided considerably. He turned coldly and said, "Hurry up and send more people to find Wen Ni. That way, I'll have more ways to make Lu Jinye feel like he's living in hell, his heart burning with rage..."
"Yes, yes... sir!"
Ye Zhishu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She quietly wiped the sweat from her forehead, squatted down, picked up the broken ashtray, and slowly walked away.
Close the door and turn around.
The panic on her face gradually subsided, replaced by calm. Her jaw clenched, and her eyes blazed with fury!
Damn Wen Ni, where are you?
When I find you, I will tear you to pieces!
...
In the canteen of the Yangle Railway staff in southern Myanmar, news about the battle was playing on a loop on a television.
[Under the leadership of the President and General Dawa, we decisively defeated three enemy columns, thwarting their attempt to infiltrate our rear! The brave and valiant Burmese soldiers are always fighting to protect the peace and stability of our people!]
"Any news that gets released will definitely be positive, just to praise the Burmese army's superior strength and stabilize public sentiment." Qin Yuan shoveled food into his mouth and mumbled indistinctly, "But what's the reality? It's not like that at all. What I've heard these past few days is that even with the Burmese secretly helping them, the Burmese can barely fight our China to a draw! Neither side suffered any losses, but neither side gained any benefits either."
"A stalemate?" Wen Ni paused, her chopsticks still.
"Pretty much. The two sides have been fighting for several months, and the arsenals have been depleted, but they remain locked in a stalemate at the border, unable to advance or retreat. Under these circumstances, it's impossible to send air force special forces to infiltrate, because once the air force enters enemy territory, it will be isolated and helpless, and ultimately, they will only perish together." Qin Yuan looked around to make sure no one was nearby before continuing, "However, I've also heard that a certain army group in our China has suddenly formed a new force, led by a rookie officer. His appearance gives the Chinese army hope of advancing into the heart of Burma!"
"Heroes emerge in times of chaos, and the fate of China is destined to endure." Wen Ni raised her eyebrows, looked up with interest, and her eyes became even more determined.
"Yes, I heard that a few months after he took office, he led his troops to advance several tens of kilometers into the Myanmar-Burma border, which broke the deadlock that had been going on for a long time. Although he later withdrew for other reasons, it was the first time that the situation on the battlefield had been turned around!"
Qin Yuan nodded in agreement, and continued:
"He's very aggressive, it's like he's going to march straight to the Burmese presidential palace! Just looking at his style, it's a bit like our old master Lu back in the day! Back then, our old master Lu won so many battles of desperate counterattacks, and he became the commander-in-chief of the military region in his fifties! He was a truly remarkable figure! Even after he retired, his influence was unmatched. It was precisely because of his iron fist that the Lu family was able to gain a firm foothold in the Beijing area, unmatched by anyone!"
"The Lu family..."
Wen Ni poked at the food in her bowl and remained silent for a moment.
Lu Jinye, Xiao Cheng, Brother Li, Brother Xiao, Leng Feng, Long Ren, Du Ya, Tang Zi, Lin Yi, An Xi...
I wonder if they are alright? How are they doing now? It's been months since they parted, they must have been very worried about her and Qin Yuan.
Though separated by only a border, they were helpless and could only wait. What they feared most was receiving news of her death.
She had to go back; she had to go back alive.
Take Li Shiyan and Dawa's lives with them and go back together!
"Don't worry." Qin Yuan realized she had mentioned something she shouldn't have, and quickly added with a grin, "Dog Baron will take good care of them, and the country is very safe now. Just like us now, we're living our lives as usual! As long as everyone is alive, we'll meet again someday!"
"Yes." To live, as long as one is alive.
