Chapter 276 Secret Intelligence
Lin Youqian picked up the plastic-sealed film as if it were a treasure, placed it to his lips and kissed it gently.
A hot teardrop fell quietly when he lowered his head.
When he raised his eyes again, the fragility in the corners of his eyes had been completely retracted.
Lu Shiyu looked at the round piece of bright red crystal and asked him.
"What's this?"
Lin Youqian just gave him a glance, then took back that precious moment and held it tightly against his heart.
"This is Qiqi's first time. I will wear it close to my body for the rest of my life."
Lu Shiyu regretted being too nosy and insisting on seeing other people's things.
Now, my second brother’s expression is even uglier than that of the eldest young master of the Lin family.
When Lu Shixu heard the word "luohong", his heart ached like a needle. He pursed his lips tightly and gripped the sides of the seat tightly with both hands, almost crushing the steel.
He knew clearly that Pao Ye was Qi Xu's husband and that it was normal for them to have an intimate married life, but when he heard these words with his own ears and saw the red with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel madly jealous of Lin Youqian for being able to have such a beautiful woman.
Lu Shiyu scratched his head in embarrassment and gave the compliment.
"Well, Brother Lin, I didn't expect you to be so affectionate. You even preserved it so well and wore it close to your body."
"Oh, that's good. It comes in handy."
Lin Youqian closed his eyes, blocking out all external disturbances and falling into deep meditation.
Lu Shixu's brows were always furrowed, and the coldness in his eyes was even colder than Lin Youqian's.
Lu Shiyu stopped talking. He couldn't understand why his second brother was reluctant to let go of Qiqi even though she had become Lin Youqian's de facto wife.
Is there any point in being so obsessed with a woman who will never belong to you?
After getting off the plane, Lu Shiyu's men were already waiting at the agreed location with a car full of Snow Wolf.
At the same time, Lin Youqian's team drove dozens of mountain off-road motorcycles, speeding up the steep mountain road into the sky.
"Master Pao, there's news, finally. Someone sent us a special code using the code S3452697, but we can't decipher it."
"Look, what does that mean?"
When Lin Youqian opened the set of special symbols, his heart jumped into his throat.
This was a set of intelligence letters written in military engineering language. The codes and expressions within were all incredibly familiar.
He was his former subordinate, a subordinate with whom he had a very close relationship.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to understand the use of the written symbols he created himself.
The intelligence was concise, just a short sentence, but it expressed all the important information.
"My sister-in-law is alive, hiding in a cave on the border of Nusa. There's an enemy experimental base ahead, estimated to be 50,000 strong. Before we act, the signal is our agreement."
When Lin Youqian heard the news that Qi Xu was still alive, he was immediately excited.
He hugged Lu Shixu tightly and jumped up excitedly.
"Qiqi is alive. That's great. Qiqi is still alive."
Lu Shixu's furrowed brows finally relaxed a little, and the corners of his tense mouth slowly rose in excitement.
He patted Lin Youqian and signaled him to let go.
"Okay, I get it. Qiqi is still alive. Let me go first, and let's find a way to save her, okay?"
Lin Youqian translated the content of the intelligence to them.
"The enemy has 50,000 troops. I have 5,000 elite troops here. Lead them to encircle them from behind and rescue Qiqi."
"I'll take Old Man Li's military order and mobilize the troops to confront Nusa head-on."
"Third Brother Lu, you are responsible for having the wolfhounds search for Qiqi's hiding place."
Lin Youqian's arrangement of dividing the troops into three groups was reasonable and there was no problem with it, but Lu Shixu disagreed.
"No, you lead your own men. I got the military order back, I'll go mobilize the troops."
Undoubtedly, rescue from the rear was the safest. A head-on battle at the front was fraught with many unknown risks, yet Lu Shixu was determined to rush forward.
"Lu Shixu. I know how you feel about Qiqi, and I also know you're a righteous person. But Qiqi is my wife, and saving her is my responsibility. There's no need for you to take my life."
Letting others charge into battle while you hide behind and reap the rewards is not Lin Youqian's style.
But Lu Shixu was determined to take the lead, and the reasons he gave left him no room for refutation.
"Lin Youqian, do you have any brains?"
"When you rushed out of the laboratory this time, do you know how much damage and adverse effects you caused to the troops?"
"All your subordinates have been exposed. Do you really think the higher-ups will sit back and watch your Lin family build a business empire while secretly cultivating mercenary forces?"
"If you use this military order to mobilize troops and start a war between two countries because of personal grudges, your crime will be even greater."
"Once you're reported by someone with ulterior motives, or if the higher-ups dislike you, they'll use this as an excuse to wipe out you and the entire Lin family."
"If you die, who will take care of Qiqi? Or are you willing to give her to someone else?"
"If you're willing to do so, I can fulfill your wish and take over Qiqi's life for the rest of her life."
Qiqi is the name given by Lin Youqian. Lu Shixu's words were like pinching his vital point, making him unable to refute.
"You wish? How could I possibly give Qiqi to you?"
Lu Shixu said, "Since you don't want to, then follow my instructions."
Lin Youqian knew that he meant well and understood what he meant. It was precisely because this matter was so serious that he didn't want to implicate others.
"Lu Shixu, why did you help me so much and make me owe you such a big favor?"
"If the higher-ups investigate, what will you do?"
Lu Shixu smiled calmly. "This matter is much easier for me to handle than for you."
"First, I still have a second-class merit that I haven't used yet. Even the most serious crime can be spared from death. Your share of merit has already been used up last time."
"Secondly, my Lu family is just a simple business family. We are not as eye-catching as your Lin family, and our identities are not as complicated as yours. Therefore, if the higher-ups want to investigate, the matter will be relatively simple."
"Third, if I go in, with your ability and worth, you can get me out. But if you go in, we can only watch."
"Lin Youqian, you're a military genius. As long as you don't use all your skills and don't leave any fatal evidence, the higher-ups won't touch you."
"Finally, you're better at scientific research than I am, but I'm better at leading troops in battle. I used to practice combat every day, so I have an advantage over you. Saving people is the most urgent task right now, not the time for you to get jealous and act arrogant."
Lu Shixu's words were sharp and heartfelt. His generosity and righteousness made Lin Youqian's eyes red.
He held Lu Shixu's hand tightly and assured him.
"Lu Shixu, I owe you my life. From now on, no matter when, as long as you have any problems, I will definitely sacrifice my life to repay you."
After finally convincing Lin Youqian, Lu Shiyu firmly opposed it.
"No. Second brother, I will never let you gamble your life with the future of the Lu family."
"This is the Lin family's business. We can do our best to help. However, he has to shoulder this heavy responsibility himself."
Lu Shiyu wasn't as foolish as Lu Shixu; he could clearly distinguish between relatives and strangers. Even if they doted on Qiqi, it wasn't the Lu family's turn to intervene in this matter.
Although Qiqi saved Yiyi's life and was indebted to the Lu family.
But these are two different things.
Now that she has a husband, it is her husband's responsibility to sacrifice himself to save his wife.
If it weren't for Yoga Lin, he would definitely not stop his second brother from pursuing his beloved woman.
But at the critical moment of life and death, he knows what is more important.
