The four guards who were originally protecting the two men have all gone to draw fire, leaving them without anyone to protect them.
After Su Ning fell asleep, Bai Yunshu left the room.
He secretly approached Xiao Che, intending to tell him about it discreetly.
"That's how it is. This matter falls within the scope of your Ministry of State Security's work. I'm counting on you to make sure you rescue the person as soon as possible."
Before they parted, he gave them all the medicine his daughter had sent him every year; that should be enough to keep them going.
"We came back this time not only to visit our families, but also to lure out those people hiding in the shadows. After all, even if you guard against thieves for a thousand days, there will eventually be a loophole."
It would be better to take this opportunity to eliminate any future troubles. The delegation from Country A is arriving soon, isn't they? It would be best to resolve the hidden issues beforehand.
Xiao Che had already received the application from the Northwest Research Institute and made some arrangements.
"I know about this. I arranged it a couple of days ago. Don't worry, Uncle, they'll be fine."
Bai Yunshu knew his capabilities and smiled, "Well, don't tell Nannan about this. She's heavily pregnant right now and can't handle any stress."
This is why he didn't say anything the moment he saw Xiao Che.
"Don't worry, Uncle, I know."
"I haven't congratulated you yet, Uncle, but the Northwest Research Institute has officially appointed you as the vice president. You'll be promoted to full president once you've gained more seniority."
My uncle waved his hand and said, "It's just my duty."
"It's a bit of a pity. I prepared a lot of gifts for my family on this trip back, but they were all lost along the way..."
Thinking about this made his heart ache with anger. He and Su Ning had prepared so many gifts together! And now, not a single one was left!
Xiao Che patted his shoulder reassuringly, "Uncle, the fact that you and Aunt came back safely is the greatest gift to us!"
The two chatted for a few more minutes before the uncle went back to his room to rest, as he was indeed very tired.
The next morning, the couple went out to visit Dean Xu.
Xiao Che also secretly arranged for people to follow him.
"Let's go buy something first, it's not good to go empty-handed. How about we prepare some gifts for our family to take back with us?"
Su Ning also remembered that the two of them were in a great hurry when they went back yesterday, and they didn't have time to replace the lost items.
"OK."
The two went into the department store and bought a bunch of things. As soon as they came out, they heard screams.
The people around him were running around everywhere.
"Ah!!! Murder!!"
"Don't kill me..."
"Run!"
Bai Yunshu reacted very quickly, immediately pulling Suning back to the department store, where it would be easier to hide.
Gunshots and screams could be heard outside.
"Yun Shu, could it be one of those people..."
Bai Yunshu patted her back reassuringly, "It should be. A-Che has arranged for people. We just need to hide well and not be a hindrance."
Although he was skilled, he wasn't arrogant enough to think he could outmaneuver professional assassins.
Su Ning gripped his sleeve tightly, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Bai Yunshu kept a close eye on the outside movements from the second-floor window.
The entrance to the department store was deserted, with only one or two corpses on the ground.
He carefully examined the area and, finding no one from their side, breathed a sigh of relief.
Before leaving home today, Xiao Che had brought the people who would be with them to show him, and the two on the ground were none of the people he had ever seen before.
They don't seem like ordinary people either.
The gunshots faded into the distance, indicating that they had moved the battle zone away from the densely populated area. It was likely their own people who did it, to avoid harming innocent bystanders.
"Looks like we probably won't be able to go today..."
We were attacked as soon as we stepped out the door. It would be bad if we brought the danger to the research institute.
Suning also agreed with his opinion.
