"What?" Li Xiyue realized why no one answered her phone. Thinking of her grandfather, she asked, "Is my grandfather alright?"
Xu Xiangyang shook his head. "Your maternal grandfather has disappeared."
Li Xiyue's expression changed. "When did this happen?"
"On the night you left the capital, someone broke into your house and kidnapped your grandfather."
Li Xiyue's expression changed drastically. "Who kidnapped my grandfather? Was it a Japanese?"
Xu Xiangyang shook his head, "I don't know, we're still investigating."
Where's Xiaobai?
"They've also disappeared."
Li Xiyue felt slightly relieved. Xiaobai was probably with her grandfather. With Xiaobai there, her grandfather would be fine. Clenching her fist, she thought of something and asked again, "Where's A-Xun? Is he still on a mission?"
Xu Xiangyang lowered his head and remained silent.
Li Xiyue had a bad feeling. "Xu Xiangyang, tell me, has something happened to A Xun as well?"
Xu Xiangyang hesitated for a moment and then nodded. "Commander Chu... sacrificed his life."
"What did you say?" Li Xiyue's face turned pale instantly. "What exactly happened?"
Xu Xiangyang told her what had happened: "There's a mole. Commander Chu has been ambushed."
"Who is the mole? Have they been found out?"
Xu Xiangyang shook his head, "We're still investigating."
Li Xiyue's tears fell in a steady stream, "A-Xun..."
"Xiyue, what's done is done. Don't be too sad. The dead can't be brought back to life. Commander Chu cares about you the most and would never want to see you sad for her." Xu Xiangyang advised in a low voice, "Besides, your grandfather hasn't been found yet. You can't fall down for his sake."
Li Xiyue nodded, wiping away her tears. "I won't give up. I will find Grandpa, and I will find the person who harmed A-Xun. I will avenge him myself!"
Xu Xiangyang's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head.
Traveling day and night, the car arrived in Beijing two days later.
Seeing that she looked much more haggard, Xu Xiangyang handed her a pot of water. "Xiyue, you haven't had a proper rest or eaten properly these past two days. We'll be in the capital soon. Drink some water, eat something, there are many things waiting for you to do."
Li Xiyue nodded, took the water, and drank a sip.
As soon as the water entered her throat, she sensed something was wrong. She looked up at Xu Xiangyang and saw a strange smile on his lips.
“You…” Li Xiyue realized he had tampered with the water, and instantly understood everything. “You’re the mole?!”
Xu Xiangyang put the lid on the kettle. "You're so smart."
"Why..." Before Li Xiyue could even voice her questions and confusion, a wave of dizziness washed over her, and she collapsed forward, her vision going black.
Xu Xiangyang reached out to support her and gently helped her lie down on the seat.
"Xu, so you betrayed China for her. You have good taste. Such a beauty. If it were me, I would choose beauty over power." The driver was the tall, thin man, his eyes filled with greed as he stared at Li Xiyue.
Xu Xiangyang's eyes sharpened. "Liu Sheng, keep your eyes shut, or I'll make them leave your body."
"Just kidding, don't take it seriously." Yagyu Jiro was intimidated by his gaze and obediently looked away.
Xu Xiangyang said coldly, "I don't like anyone making fun of her, understand?"
"Understood, understood." Of course, Yagyu Kojiro understood. This woman could make an outstanding soldier like Xu Xiangyang give up his promising future and betray his country and organization. Naturally, Xu Xiangyang valued her more than his own life.
Not to mention him, even their boss wouldn't dare to underestimate her in the slightest.
Xu Xiangyang snorted coldly, took out a blanket and gently covered Li Xiyue with it, without overstepping the bounds. After covering her, he jumped up and onto the passenger seat. "Let's go, your boss must be getting impatient."
"good."
Yagyu Kojiro thought to himself, "This Xu Xiangyang is quite respectful to this woman. Even though she's dizzy, he doesn't take advantage of her at all. He's really a gentleman."
Xu Xiangyang closed his eyes and stopped speaking; no one knew what he was thinking.
