Chapter 126 Was His Bodyguard a Mole? (2/2)



And those few idiots reported the same thing to their superiors.

It wasn't until a few months ago, when I applied for a mission in exchange for Huo Xueshen, that those people found out Huo Xueshen was still alive.

Fu Shen said with certainty: "So after you completed your mission, the higher-ups immediately sent someone to secretly take him away."

Lu Yunting stared at Fu Shen in shock, his eyes wide: "How did you know it was a secret pick-up?"

Fu Shen was already surprised enough that he knew Huo Xueshen's name, but he was even more surprised that he knew that Huo Xueshen had been secretly taken away. What else was there that he didn't know?

When we get back, we should have someone thoroughly investigate his background. It's not reassuring to keep someone who knows everything around us.

Fu Shen remained calm and unhurried, saying, "Usually, when someone is exonerated, the government will publicly restore their reputation. Unfortunately, he didn't. Grandma Yang has been in Beicheng all along, secretly looking for him. However, he has been back for several months now, and she hasn't revealed a single word about it. What else could it be but a secret?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunting gave a thumbs-up with admiration: "Impressive, you guessed it all. It had to be a secret. To prepare for this mission, I contacted many people in various military regions and reviewed the information of several people, but none of them were suitable for me. I'm the only son left in my family, so those who go on this mission with me must have the ability to help others..."

This "other person" obviously refers to himself.

At this point, a blush of embarrassment rose on his face, and he coughed lightly: "When I saw your information, I didn't want to wait a moment longer, so I immediately asked your military region for you. When I heard that you were on leave to visit your family, I urged your leaders to contact you as soon as possible so that you could return to your unit as soon as possible."

Fortunately, he chose the right person. Thinking back to the extremely dangerous moment during that mission, he knew he would have died at that time.

Fu Shen couldn't help but recall what Su Yue had said about him in her dream—that he was already dead and had no chance to go on this mission.

Suddenly, he blurted out, "What will happen to your mission if I'm not there?"

Lu Yunting pondered for a moment, "It will be delayed a little, but not for too long. This mission can either kill me or save my life..."

He paused for a moment, then looked at Fu Shen: "I did it."

Fu Shen then asked, "If your mission fails, what will Huo Xueshen ultimately face?"

Lu Yunting made a throat-slitting gesture.

Fu Shen frowned deeply, "It's because you gave him this mission that his whereabouts were exposed."

Lu Yunting nodded heavily: "Yes, but they won't use a knife directly. They'll tell him directly that his mother died because of him... he wouldn't choose to continue living."

Huo Xueshen left the research institute without hesitation after receiving a phone call from home informing him of his mother's death.

If he knew his mother was gone, one reason was because he was worried about his health, and then Huo Yunqi's report worsened his condition, which led to her passing away.

If he had to abandon his post and come back to settle scores with Huo Yunqi, wouldn't leaving the research base give those people an opportunity to make their move?

So those who knew the situation and everyone at the research institute gave the same story, telling Huo Xueshen, "Once you've almost finished these projects, you'll be able to see your mother."

Fu Shen's heart tightened suddenly. "Doesn't he know yet that his mother is gone?"

Lu Yunting's face was full of helplessness: "It's a bit cruel to keep it from him for now, but there are just too many projects in the research institute that only he can complete... People like us are destined to give everything for the organization, and our families can only be sacrificed in the face of the organization."
