"Dad... Waaah, Dad, I don't want you to take the blame for me anymore. You can't get hurt, you can't get hurt." Zhou Haixia cried as she threw herself into Zhou Zhiguo's arms.
“I’ll be fine, believe me. Your mother will get better if she’s treated in a hospital in the US, don’t worry!” Zhou Zhiguo said, patting Zhou Haixia on the shoulder.
Zhou Zhiguo and Li Yunlong had known each other for decades. He knew that Li Yunlong must have a way to deal with Wang Congming, but he had never approached Li Yunlong. Firstly, he was afraid of dragging Li Yunlong down with him, and secondly, he was worried that Li Yunlong might fail.
They were brothers. Although he was much younger than Li Yunlong, they had always been like brothers in the army. He knew that Li Yunlong was a man of strong emotions, but now they were enemies. If he really asked Li Yunlong for help, he would really be harming his brother.
"Yes!" After Zhou Haixia finished crying, she resolutely raised her head, nodded, and then put on her clothes, picked up her bag, and prepared to go out.
Zhou Haixia's mother stood silently by, tears streaming down her face. For so many years, her husband had cooked dinner for their daughter every day, and Zhou Zhiguo would hold his wife as they slept.
"Mom, why don't you come with Dad?" Zhou Haixia said to her mother.
"Where are you going?" Zhou Haixia's mother's expression changed immediately upon hearing Zhou Haixia's words.
“We’re going to the US. Dad has a house there. We’ll go there and hide for a while. Wang Congming definitely won’t dare send anyone to hunt us down,” Zhou Haixia explained.
“No, your dad is still at home. What will happen to him?” Zhou Haixia’s mother immediately rejected Zhou Haixia’s suggestion.
“Mom, Dad is definitely in danger in China. Have you forgotten that Wang Congming still has weapons? If he finds out Dad’s identity, do you think Dad will have a good ending?” Zhou Haixia continued to persuade him.
"Don't worry about this. I'm going to the US to find your father. You and your older brother and sister should go to the US to hide for a while," Zhou Haixia's mother said after thinking for a moment.
“No, Mom, I can’t abandon Dad. Besides, Dad has so many properties overseas, he can move to the US. And have you forgotten my job in the US? I know a lot of people there who can protect me and you,” Zhou Haixia said directly.
Zhou Haixia chose to go to the United States because she wanted to be closer to Li Yunlong so she could better take revenge. Also, she owned a villa there, making it convenient for her to visit her mother.
“That won’t do either, it’s too dangerous.” Zhou Haixia’s mother shook her head after hearing Zhou Haixia’s words, her eyes filled with sadness. She was reluctant to leave her husband and children, but reality was cruel. Wang Congming’s power was astonishing, and Zhou Haixia had no chance to fight back.
“It’s okay, we can just go to the US and hide there for a while,” Zhou Haixia continued.
“No, I have to stay with your dad. If he’s home, he has some bodyguards. I can’t leave him behind, otherwise your grandfather and your uncle will beat him to death,” Zhou Haixia’s mother said, shaking her head in refusal.
"Mom, wait for my message. I'll go pack my things now." Zhou Haixia said, then turned and walked out.
"Sigh~" Zhou Haixia's mother sighed as she sat on the bed.
Zhou Haixia quickly returned to her bedroom and began to pack her things. After she finished, she saw two boxes on the table. One box contained her bank cards, and the other box contained her passport.
She knew she had to leave, but she didn't expect to run into Wang Congming as soon as she got home. Wang Congming told her that his father had agreed to cooperate with him, so she had to leave today.
"Ring ring~" Just then, the landline in the living room suddenly rang.
Zhou Haixia stopped tidying her clothes, glanced towards the living room, and saw that the landline was ringing. She immediately went over and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" Zhou Haixia asked, picking up the phone.
"Hello, is this Comrade Zhou Haixia? This is the office of the Chief of the General Staff of the Military Region." A man's voice came through the phone.
"Oh, yes. May I ask who you are?" Zhou Haixia paused for a moment after hearing this, and then asked.
"Hello, this is what we've done. Comrade Zhou Zhiguo has agreed to cooperate with General Wang Congming, so please make sure your tickets to the United States are purchased by 4 PM today. You can go buy your tickets now," the man on the other end of the line explained immediately.
"What? Dad has agreed to cooperate with Wang Congming? Why? I don't understand, why is this happening? What are Wang Congming's conditions?" Zhou Haixia asked in shock.
“Comrade Zhou Haixia, I don’t know the specifics either, and neither do our leaders. Our leaders have told you to apply for visas as soon as possible and fly to New York, the sooner the better, because we’re unsure of the situation in the US. So, if you decide to go, go now; if not, wait for further notice, and then you can leave,” the man continued.
“Okay, thank you. Please tell your superior that we are willing to go to the United States!” Zhou Haixia said.
Meanwhile, Hu Bin, who was in the command post, had just finished looking at the map and checked the time. It was around 5 p.m. Hu Bin stood up, stretched his limbs, felt the warm air blowing from the air conditioner in the command post, took a few deep breaths, and began to slowly walk outside.
