Regardless of whether the strategist would investigate, he wasn't afraid. Putting aside the fact that Jiang Qiao had been holding back for so long, he was definitely dead by now; he had that much common sense.
Besides, the location he mentioned really does exist. However, he had never been there; he had only heard about it from passersby. He had just casually inquired about it, and now it had finally come in handy.
He simply couldn't believe that a strategist would go down into a reservoir to retrieve a body in such cold weather. It was impossible, so he wasn't afraid.
As for why this person was in such a hurry to leave, he couldn't tell the strategist the reason. People like them, risking their lives to make ends meet, rarely find a lover, especially one they like.
He hadn't really wanted to come this time; his wife was sick, and he was heartbroken. But it was an order, and he had no choice but to obey.
As for how the strategist would punish that person, he didn't care; as long as he got through this, that was enough.
Besides, two days have passed and Jiang Qiao's body has still not been found, which means that those two people really did what he said. Even if they didn't do what he said, Jiang Qiao would never have survived. That's his confidence.
The strategist reported the situation to the special envoy, and Tang Xuefei paused for a moment before asking, "Are you sure this person is telling the truth?"
The strategist hesitated for a moment, then said, "As far as I know, this person has always followed orders when carrying out missions in the past, and he has never deceived his superiors or covered up anything. Overall, he is quite good."
In that case, I'll have someone inquire about it tomorrow to see if what he said is true.
However, one thing I'm certain of is that, given the circumstances at the time, it would have been a miracle if Jiang Qiao had made it out of the train station alive. So, even if something had gone wrong along the way, he would have been doomed.
Since Jiang Qiao's body has not been found and there has been no news of her still being alive, I estimate that she is probably really gone.
Given how much Jiang Qiao cares about her family, and considering it's almost Chinese New Year, she'd probably keep it from others, but she wouldn't hide it from her grandfather, after all, that old man is quite advanced in years—”
Tang Xuefei nodded. "We must be careful. It wouldn't hurt to have someone inquire about it."
By the way, what did Cobra say? Are they coming here or not?
We need to meet and discuss this properly, as we don't have much time.
Especially since those few people haven't been completely dealt with yet, what if something changes along the way? We'd be at a disadvantage. Could we use some other methods to leverage those people and help us achieve our goals?
The strategist glanced at Tang Xuefei and said, "Special Envoy, Cobra's message is that there's no need to meet for the time being. What needs to be said has already been made clear to you by the people sent last time."
We'll handle the execution, while he'll be responsible for developing plans and assisting us.
As for dealing with those people, I think Cobra has made arrangements. Since he didn't say we should get involved, let's just wait for his news.
Don't forget, things won't be easy for either of us out there. We're both wanted, and if we give ourselves away, we'll lose everything. So, follow orders. Once this mission is complete, things will be much easier for us.”
Tang Xuefei snorted and said nothing. The strategist was someone Cobra had sent to her side, though it was also possible that he was there to spy on her.
To be honest, she regretted coming here. She hadn't accomplished any of the important things she was supposed to do, and she didn't know how her child was doing.
Thinking of her sick child, she felt heartbroken. Remembering Cobra, she felt he was incredibly cold-hearted. They had been inseparable for so long; how could he show no gratitude whatsoever? Even meeting him was difficult; expecting him to help her was probably wishful thinking.
"Alright, get me some hot water for a bath. I'm stuck in this godforsaken place, waiting, who knows how long I'll be able to wait."
The strategist watched Tang Xuefei walk into the bedroom and curled his lips. If she weren't a special envoy, he really wouldn't bother serving her. Their conditions were so difficult now, they didn't even need firewood to heat the bath water.
Washing every day, aren't you afraid of getting scabbed over? They really don't understand their subordinates. Do you think it's easy for these people who are stuck here?
Which one of them isn't risking their life? Do you really think you're superior to them?
Once they get there, it's uncertain who will be more capable. What he lacks is opportunity and someone who appreciates him. Unfortunately, Lone Wolf is gone; otherwise, he wouldn't be working for Cobra.
However, the other party had promised him that once this job was done, he would be allowed to go over. At that time, what would Tang Xuefei be? With his intelligence, he would have to think twice before asking this woman to carry his shoes.
She's just an old woman, always being pretentious. Doesn't she know how old she is? Does she think she's eighteen? How could a cobra be interested in her?
A woman who has already married someone else and had children with him still wants to relive her past. Doesn't she even know if she's worthy of him?
However, this was just wishful thinking. Ding Peng knew that the person sent from that side must have some connections. It was a pity he was born a few years too late; otherwise, he would definitely be doing better than this woman.
The thought that he could live in a different place in the future made Ding Peng feel inexplicably better.
He turned and went out to send a telegram to Cobra. He needed to report the woman's thoughts to his superiors and also mention Jiang Qiao's situation.
Cobra responded quickly: "Make sure to investigate thoroughly. As for the rest, don't rush things. We'll discuss everything after the New Year."
Was Cobra not worried? Yes, he was, but no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't afford to expose his identity.
Only after dealing with Jiang Jinyu and Jiang Qiao can he proceed to the next step with peace of mind.
Especially Jiang Qiao, she's practically a thorn in his side. Just mentioning her name makes him feel like she was sent by God specifically to get rid of him, because this woman has ruined so many things for them.
Sometimes, he even wondered if this Jiang Qiao was the same Jiang Qiao from back then, and if this person hadn't died.
However, the age and appearance didn't match, which dispelled his doubts. But it was absolutely true that this person was their nemesis.
Cobra never dreamed that this Jiang Qiao was the same Jiang Qiao he had killed years ago, except that the Jiang Qiao had changed his inner core.
Actually, he now regrets that he should have taken the initiative in the beginning and recruited this person to his side. Wouldn't he have been able to go back and be granted official titles and ranks by now?
Instead of being as cautious as he is now, having to be careful with every move and every word, for fear that someone might doubt his identity.
Thinking of this, he sighed and then sent a telegram to his subordinates, instructing them to continue reporting according to the previous agreement. He refused to believe that with so much evidence, Jiang Jinyu and his group could get away with it.
