She rushed into Commander Gu's office, and seeing that no one was inside, she didn't care about anything else and turned around to close the door.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Commander Gu, who had just finished a phone call, was thinking about something when his niece ran in, closed the door, and asked with a puzzled look.
"Uncle, I just received news that Huo Haocheng and his group this time..." Ruan Ruan told Commander Gu her guesses and looked at him with a determined look.
"So, you suspect that someone in our military region has leaked secrets?" Actually, Commander Gu had also just received Huo Haocheng's secret telegram, and his thoughts were similar to Ruan Ruan's.
"Yes, if no one leaked the information, and Huo Haocheng and his group's whereabouts were kept secret, how could those people abroad know? Besides, don't you think everything is too coincidental? Whether it's their departure time, their arrival time, or their retreat route, how did those people manage to precisely avoid Huo Haocheng and his group's route? If you say that Huo Haocheng and his group are too skilled to perfectly evade tracking, I don't believe it at all. I'm more inclined to believe that they knew Huo Haocheng and his group's retreat route, and then set up an ambush at a point they were bound to pass through, preparing to wipe them out in one fell swoop."
The more Ruan Ruan spoke, the colder her heart became. They must have planned the retreat route before setting off. Moreover, the mission was announced so suddenly that they certainly hadn't considered a second option. What they needed to do now was to find that point and destroy it before Huo Haocheng and the others arrived, in order to ensure their safe return.
"Uncle, do you remember who was involved when you were developing the plan?" Now, only by finding the person who leaked the information can we find out where that leak was.
Commander Gu was certain that Ruan Ruan's idea was correct, and he knew that doing things her way was the right thing to do. However, this was the first time he had ever directly experienced his niece's aura. What he saw in her now was the aura of a person in a superior position. This feeling was just like when Ming was angry with his old man.
When did Ruan Ruan develop such an aura? He had never seen it before. Could it be that in the Huo family, Old Master Huo and Mr. Bai Shu would teach Ruan Ruan these things? And what selfish motives did they have in cultivating Ruan Ruan?
Although Commander Gu thought this way, he also knew that now was not the time to pursue these matters.
"At that time, it was just me, Huo Haocheng, the political commissar, and Bai Sirui," Commander Gu recalled the events of that day. His bodyguard brought in the documents, and then he was asked to notify Huo Haocheng and the others. However, while they were discussing matters, the bodyguard left, and the door was closed.
"Then, besides you, is there anyone else who could have been around here? Uncle, think back, besides you, did you see anyone else?"
Ruan Ruan completely believed the four people Commander Gu mentioned, but what if other people appeared while they were discussing things? Ruan Ruan looked around the office. She could hear anyone walking outside, and the sound was very clear, so she couldn't rule out the possibility that someone was eavesdropping on their discussion.
“...oh, and…” Just as Commander Gu was thinking of something, Ruan Ruan made a shushing gesture to him, then gestured for him to say something more and not stop. She then tiptoed to the door and pointed to it.
Understanding Ruan Ruan's meaning, Commander Gu began his performance, "Also, you just gave birth, and your grandparents and maternal grandparents asked me to tell you..." Commander Gu watched Ruan Ruan press her ear to the door, but his voice never stopped.
Even while standing, Ruan Ruan could hear the voices outside. The other person must have followed her in. Just after Ruan Ruan came in and expressed her suspicions, the person arrived. Therefore, Ruan Ruan deliberately asked Commander Gu who was present at the time, just to hear the reactions of the people outside.
"Stop thinking about it, don't waste your energy. You can't save them. I want to see what tricks China has left without this Independent Regiment and Huo Haocheng. What can that bitch Ruan Ruan do? I really didn't expect that even Miao Chunjiang, that woman, managed to sneak into the delivery room, but she still couldn't get Huo Haocheng's child killed. If it weren't for General Yamashima ordering that they be captured alive, that bitch Ruan Ruan would still be alive today."
Hearing the whispers of those outside, Ruan Ruan was certain that this person was a spy from the military.
She gestured for Commander Gu to stop, and then, sensing that the other person was also pressed against the door, she suddenly opened the door. The person lost his balance and was about to fall to the ground when Ruan Ruan kicked him in the back, knocking him to the ground. Commander Gu quickly pressed him down as well.
Ruan Ruan took a rope from the top of the cabinet and, together with her uncle, tied the person to the chair.
"Little Li, I never expected this! I never imagined that the spy had been right beside me all along."
When Commander Gu saw that the person rushing in was his own bodyguard, he felt a pang of sadness. This man had been by his side for several years, and had been with him since he was a recruit.
Now that the man has been caught, Ruan Ruan doesn't have much time for him to struggle with his uncle. She directly takes out a packet of medicine from her pocket, grabs some, and sprinkles it on his face.
"Tell me, what is your true identity?" Right now, Ruan Ruan just wants to find a way to save Huo Haocheng and the others as soon as possible.
"...Ah, ahhhhh, kill me, kill me!" At this moment, Xiao Li felt as if a million ants were biting his body. He was in so much pain that he had no strength left. If it weren't for the rope that tied him to the chair, he would have collapsed to the ground.
