The 307th operation concludes, ending the countdown.
Zheng Liu stared at Liu Yan without blinking. Although his face was expressionless, only heaven knows what turmoil was churning inside him.
The night was as dark as ink, and under the beam of the flashlight, Liu Yan's face was somewhat indistinct to him. But it was precisely this hazy appearance that made Zheng Liu uneasy, as if he couldn't hold onto her and would lose her.
Liu Yan didn't speak, but simply pulled her hands out of Zheng Liu's grasp. With her hands free, she casually brushed aside her long hair, which had been ruffled by the wind along the way. Her clear eyes remained completely calm.
Her calmness, on the contrary, made Zheng Liu and the other mercenaries unconsciously tense up.
Although most of them don't have wives, children, or even girlfriends, that doesn't stop them from knowing how unreasonable women can be when they get jealous.
Although no one said anything, everyone's eyes were still on Ren Hui, who had brought up the beginning of the incident, making him break out in a cold sweat.
Why are you all looking at him? He didn't create this Ah Qing; she's a real person! Even if he doesn't say anything today, his sister-in-law will find out sooner or later!
Liu Yan turned her head and looked at the tense expressions of the group of people. She couldn't help but grin and reached out to hold Zheng Liu's hands in return.
“Everyone has a past, you have one, and so do I. But I think you’ve done a lot. Taking good care of Ah Qing’s family after her death shows that you are a very loyal and affectionate person. That makes me feel more at ease marrying you!”
"Sister-in-law, aren't you angry?"
"Why should I be angry? It's not Zheng Liu's fault. He has taken care of A Qing's family because of the life-saving grace he received, and I think he did a great job. On the contrary, if he had ignored A Qing's family for so many years, I would find that kind of person terrifying!"
Liu Yan looked at Ren Hui with a smile. This young man must have been frightened by the scary looks in these people's eyes, which is why he asked her in such an uncertain tone!
"Do you think your sister-in-law is like you, always harping on other people's past little things? Your sister-in-law is very magnanimous! You'd better learn from her. Don't bring up these petty, low-class things again, understand?"
Seizing the opportunity, Liu Qi gave Ren Hui a stern lecture, which made Ren Hui nod repeatedly with his head down like a chicken pecking at rice. After the lecture was over, Liu Qi didn't even glance at Ren Hui again, but walked directly to Zheng Liu's side, punched him in the arm, and looked at him with eyes full of envy.
"It's fine for a woman to throw a tantrum, but you'd better treat people better in the future! If you ever let your sister-in-law down, not only will she not forgive you, but even we brothers here won't let you off easily!"
"Alright, stop talking about me. Everyone, be on your guard and watch out for whether the people from Cai Feng will follow us!"
Zheng Liu held Liu Yan's hand tightly, increasing the pressure as he spoke, while Liu Yan maintained a smile as she looked at everyone.
Because they had just returned from overseas, these people didn't carry many guns; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to speed away from Cai Feng's men all the way to this isolated mountain.
The location here is remote, and even those who are familiar with the area would probably not be able to find it in a short time. Zheng Liu arrived in Xiangcheng early and already knows the terrain of Xiangcheng very well.
"Zheng Liu, tell me how much Gu Mingxia and Xiao Yan paid you. I'll give you double. You... go back and kill them both!"
Cai Feng's voice came from not far away, and judging from the footsteps, he would arrive here in a few minutes.
Zheng Liu and everyone's expressions changed slightly. Although they had prepared to lose their lives when they chose to become mercenaries, that was only when they had no other choice. Now, Gu Mingxia had given them a bright future, and under the call of such a promising future, no one wanted to lose their life easily.
Zheng Liuchao and the others nodded, and everyone went into full alert mode. Although they had fewer weapons, they were not easy for anyone to get close to. Just the fact that they were able to escape from the heavily armed bodyguards of Cai Feng showed what kind of combat power they had.
Are you scared?
Zheng Liu squeezed Liu Yan's hand and asked softly. Liu Yan shook her head and gently kissed him on the cheek.
"I'm not afraid. As long as you're here, I'm not afraid of anything!"
