After figuring out the key, Balu threw away his cigarette butt, took out his phone and called Biaozi.
"Brother Lu."
"Biaozi, hurry up and take Zhan Peng's wife and children away first. If he is caught, he can still hold on until we find him. But if Yana and the child are caught, Zhan Peng will definitely risk his life to protect them. Hurry—"
The man's eyes were bloodshot from anxiety, and the knuckles of his palm holding the phone turned white.
After hanging up the phone, he quickly called Wu Meng.
"What's wrong?" Wu Meng was obviously annoyed to the extreme.
"Brother Meng, Zhan Peng is missing." Balu said straight to the point.
There was silence for more than ten seconds. "Something must have happened."
"Brother Meng. We may have oversimplified things before. The one who wanted to occupy the tent was not Taylor."
“Well, even if Taylor wants to take Peng’s life, it’s for Route D in northern Myanmar. The signal we sent is enough for him to think twice and give up the idea of taking risks.
But the current situation seems to indicate that someone else wants to take over Zhan Peng. Although those people in northern Myanmar hate Zhan Peng, they don't have the courage to cross the ocean to seek revenge in the United States."
"Brother Meng, I have to go save Zhan Peng." Balu finally expressed his thoughts.
"No, your identity, if you go to Country M, will be the bullet those people shoot at my heart. A-Lu, I would rather hold a memorial service for Zhan Peng than risk the interests of the country."
"Brother Meng..." Baru's eyes were swollen and his forehead veins were bulging. He growled softly.
"Zhan Peng is my brother. We've been together since we could crawl. We're brothers who can turn our backs to each other on the battlefield. If you want me to watch him die, why not just let me die directly?"
"Your wife is just pregnant with your child, and you're already thinking about dying?" Wu Meng was also angry.
"That's better than letting my son have a cowardly father who doesn't help him when he's dying," he wiped his face.
"Brother Meng, why don't you just take my official hat away once more and kick me out of the army so I can go and save Zhan Peng."
"Do you fucking think the intelligence department of Country M is just there to do nothing? Let alone us, how much have China and Russia suffered from them? Just stay here quietly. I'll figure out a way to deal with Zhan Peng's situation.
"Wolf cub, you dare to mess with me at this time, I will pull out your tendons."
After hanging up the phone, the man was extremely angry, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and he slammed the phone down, and the broken pieces of the phone splattered everywhere, bearing the man's boundless anger.
Nanxi, who had been watching from a distance for a minute or two, frowned and told the servant to bring the honeysuckle she had brought from China.
After adjusting his mood, Baru wiped his face and walked into the living room.
The young wife sat quietly by the tea table, making tea. She was wearing a bean green silk sling and a moon-white shawl. She was not wearing any makeup, and looked relaxed and elegant. Her restless mood instantly cleared up like a spring breeze, and she walked over.
"Wife, what are you doing?"
"In the past, during the summer, Dad would come home for a few days, but he and Grandpa didn't get along. They were always arguing. Whenever Grandpa got angry, I would make him this tea."
There was a faint smile on her face, like a magnolia flower that stood in the wind without competing for beauty, just quietly blooming on the branch, making people unable to take their eyes off it.
The young wife slowly put the ice cubes containing top-grade Longjing tea into the cup with a bamboo clip, then put a few honeysuckle flowers in it and poured two small spoons of honey on it. Then, she stirred it with a silver spoon and waited for the ice to melt slowly. The process of ice melting into water neutralized the astringency of the tea, leaving only the unique fragrance of spring buds, which slowly blended with the honey and stimulated the medicinal properties of the honeysuckle.
The heat of the Indochina Peninsula became part of the tea at this moment, no longer so overbearing. Finally, when all the ingredients in the cup were integrated, the woman poured the essence of the tea into the fairness cup, then poured it into the Ru kiln cup and handed it over.
"Hubby, try it."
This process was not short. The man, who usually had little patience, waited for a cup of ice to melt for the first time. She slowly made the tea while he slowly watched.
When the refreshing tea went down his throat, his whole body calmed down from the inside out, and the man's frown relaxed.
"Baby, Zhan Peng got into trouble in Country M. Brother Meng won't let me go, but you can't let me watch him die, right?"
Nanxi's heart suddenly sank, and she looked at her husband with worried eyes.
"How could something happen to Zhan Peng? Who did he offend over there?"
"I suspect this was a trap from the moment he showed up in Country M. Someone set a trap for him."
"With your status, you can't go to Country M. Once you set foot on Country M's territory, they will definitely use all means to squeeze out all the useful value from you to force Brother Meng to compromise. Not long ago, a female entrepreneur from our Chinese country was detained by them using despicable means to force her father to compromise. Those politicians have no bottom line. They can even treat businessmen like this, let alone you?
In order to undermine the friendship between China and its neighboring countries and create regional friction, Country M has made a lot of use of northern Myanmar. Mengge's pro-China stance has already displeased many people in the Myanmar parliament. If you go, wouldn't it be like handing Mengge's weakness to the other side for them to exploit?"
"I know all this, baby." The man's anger was burning again. "But I can't stand by and watch my brother die without doing anything..."
He clasped his short hair with both hands, and his whole body was shaking slightly in an effort to control his emotions.
Nanxi looked at his pained expression. It would be a lie to say she didn't feel bad. She pursed her lips and said, "It's not that there is no solution at all."
Upon hearing this, Baru suddenly looked up and stared at his wife with bloodshot eyes, "Baby——"
"Don't look at me like that, Bull Eyes. It's so scary~" She glared at the man with disgust and drank a cup of tea to calm herself down.
When a soldier who has killed people inadvertently reveals a murderous look in his eyes, even ordinary people cannot resist it, let alone a delicate young lady. Even if that person is her husband who dotes on her to the bones, for a moment, Nanxi's heart still slowed down.
"I was wrong, baby." The man blinked, quickly stood up, hugged his wife on his lap, sat on the armchair she had just sat on, and rested his head on her soft and undulating body.
"Wife, you're so smart, there must be a way. Don't worry, when I get Zhan Peng back, I'll definitely make a lot of money out of him as a birth gift for our child. I won't let your hard work be in vain."
Nanxi sighed, pushed the man's head out, held his handsome face, pursed her lips,
"I don't want anything to happen to Zhan Peng, but I have selfish motives, and I don't want you to take risks. I..."
"I know, baby... I know everything. You're worried that something might happen to me." The man leaned forward and pecked her lips, his dark eyes firm.
"But, Xixi, I'm a man, and I have to act like a man. If I watched my brother die without any reaction, how would I tell my son in the future? His father was a coward? He watched his good brother die in a foreign country?
Besides, Zhan Peng's wife and children are still in Country M. I can't watch them die there. How can I explain this to Zhan Zhan in the future? He called me Uncle Long, baby."
The little woman's eyes were moistened with tears, and she choked with sobs, "Then you swear that you will come back alive, without a single hair missing."
"I swear, baby, I swear." He hugged his little wife, breathing rapidly, his Adam's apple rolling violently, "I will come back alive. I haven't slept enough with such a beautiful wife. How can I bear to die?"
"Bastard... bastard." The little woman reached out and hit him.
