Hearing Pei Jin's question, Su Xiang touched his nose with a complex expression and said, "Things inside here are very complicated, I also have my own difficulties that are hard to explain!"
"What's hard to explain, it's just killing with a borrowed knife!" Pei Jin looked at the corpses all over the place and then turned her head to look at Shitang Longsi, whose life was in the balance in the distance, and mocked coldly.
Su Xiang heard this and gave an undefinable bitter smile, indeed, that was one of his objectives today. If he didn't weaken the power of the RB people spying on him, it would inevitably affect the success of his next plan. Originally, he only wanted to trim away Shitang Longsi's confidants in this battle, but Pei Jin's sudden rise gave him an unexpected joy, no! Perhaps this was all within the Lord's plan.
Thinking of this, Su Xiang looked at Pei Jin and said softly with a smile, "For that gentleman to successfully escape, I ask Miss Pei to cooperate to keep this matter hidden and keep this act going!"
"Alas, I know I can't avoid it, it's something I owe her! Before I leave with you, there are a few things I need to address, is that alright?" Pei Jin raised her hand, gazed at the pendant she held for a long time, then sighed deeply and said helplessly.
"Of course! Please!" Su Xiang said, bowing to make way for Pei Jin.
Pei Jin returned to the disc and took back her phone, pulling off its original decoration and hanging the pendant she was holding on it, then opened the recording mode and said something to the phone facing her.
After finishing everything, Pei Jin returned to Jiang Donghu's side and placed the phone in his hand with a look of earnest intent, solemnly entrusting him, "Mr. Jiang, this phone has words I need to say to my brother, please help me deliver it to him! Remember, it must be handed to him personally, no one else should open it, including your investigation office and military leaders. Can I trust you?"
Jiang Donghu looked down at the phone in his hand, then looked up at Pei Jin, puzzled, and asked, "You really want to go with them! I can recover soon! Just hold on a little longer, we can defeat them!"
"Sorry, I have reasons I must go with them. I'm just sorry for you all protecting me so desperately. I always hoped for a different outcome, burying my head in the sand like an ostrich, thinking I could hide everything and live simply, but things that are meant to happen can't be avoided. Now I've decided to face it! So, Mr. Jiang, can I trust you?" In the end, Pei Jin, as if liberated but also pleading, gazed into Jiang Donghu's eyes and questioned.
"I promise you, as long as I have a breath left in me, this phone will be personally handed to your brother." Jiang Donghu stared into Pei Jin's eyes, seeing the determination in her gaze, knew he couldn't object, sighed, and gritted his teeth as he promised.
"Thank you!"
On the other end of the battlefield, Su Xiang provided Pei Jin with plenty of trust and independence, and with his two subordinates, he went to Shitang Longsi's side.
Zhi Rou looked at the man lying on the ground, still anxious from the strength he exhibited earlier. She cautiously approached and kicked his body lightly, seeing he didn't respond but only groaned, she quickly retreated to Su Xiang's side and said in a low voice, "Boss, he's still breathing, why not take this opportunity to kill him!"
"No, if we really kill him, it will arouse dissatisfaction and suspicion from above, and they will send others. Should we then kill another one? It's best to save him and take him back, his injuries won't heal in a month or two." Su Xiang glanced at Shitang Longsi, his eyes showing a flash of killing intent.
"I'm ready, let's go!" At this moment, Pei Jin's voice came from behind.
Su Xiang turned with a broad smile to Pei Jin, clapping his hands, "Miss Pei has finished her business, then let's set off, the timing is perfect! Shanhe, carry Mr. Shitang on your back, let's move!"
Following Su Xiang's order, Shanhe bent down to carry Shitang Longsi on his back, while Zhi Rou stepped forward, taking out a confinement ring to put on Pei Jin.
"Get back! From now on, Miss Pei is a guest! Do you think if she didn't want to come with us, you could restrain her?" Seeing this, Su Xiang raised an eyebrow and harshly reprimanded.
Being chastised, Zhi Rou glared and nodded apologetically to Pei Jin before sullenly retreating to Shanhe's side to help him support Shitang Longsi. Shanhe rolled his eyes at his tactless and reckless companion, unable to think of what to say to him.
Retracting Jiezhi Space, leaving the injured investigation office trio and bodies exposed on the street, Su Xiang led Pei Jin and others into a van by the roadside and soon disappeared into the night.
Fifteen minutes later, watching the investigation office reinforcements rushing onto the scene, Jiang Donghu, sitting dejectedly on the roadside, sarcastically said, "Are you the police in movies? Only arriving after everything's over!"
Captain Sun's face showed displeasure upon hearing this, but seeing their dismal state, he suppressed his anger and said, "The investigation office headquarters was attacked, and your message wasn't redirected in time. It was only when He Jiantao was teleported back to the troops that we realized something was wrong and got delayed!"
"What did you say? The investigation office headquarters was attacked!" Jiang Donghu exclaimed in shock.
"Yes! The entire building was blown up by enemies! The casualties were significant, but enough about that, where is the person we were protecting?" Captain Sun looked around, a sense of dread rising in his heart as he inquired.
"She was taken away by the people of Divine Will!"
"What did you say!" Now it was Captain Sun's turn to be stunned, followed by sarcasm, "Hmm! Well! You three managed to survive, but our target was taken! Is this how the Dark Arrow Special Forces execute their missions!"
Faced with Captain Sun's sarcasm, Jiang Donghu and the others lowered their heads without speaking or explaining. Seeing this, Captain Sun shook his head in irritation and turned to shout at his team members, "Why are you standing around! Handle the scene and get the bodies in the car." Then he turned back to Jiang Donghu and asked sharply, "How long have they been gone, what car, license plate number!" After receiving the exact answers, Captain Sun made several phone calls. Once finished, he sat beside Jiang Donghu, pulled out a cigarette, and handed it to him, saying, "I've done all I can do, the rest depends on how you'll explain to the higher-ups."
"I know!" Without taking the offered cigarette, Jiang Donghu replied in a deep voice, keeping his head down.
On the other side of the city, inside a secret chamber, Su Xiang, who had twisted and turned to get there, was directing his subordinates to activate the dark array while straightening the gradually recovering consciousness of Shitang Longsi. He took out a phone, handed it to him, and smiling said, "The mission is successful, now you can report the good news to Mr. Mu!"
Shitang Longsi tilted his head, glanced at Pei Jin standing in the teleportation array with cold eyes directed at him, cracked a dried grin at her, and then turned towards Su Xiang sarcastically, "How rare, Mr. Su didn't take advantage of the situation to eliminate me!"
"What is Mr. Shitang saying, we are of one heart and mind! Today's capture by inviting Miss Pei back, Mr. Shitang is certainly the chief contributor!"
Facing Su Xiang's hypocritical smile, Shitang Longsi took the phone, dialed a number, and replied, "I wouldn't dare! After everything, I'd love to hear how Mr. Su skillfully captured Miss Pei, wasn't it with a beauty scheme!"
After saying that, he pressed the phone to his ear, listening as the call connected, and said in a deep voice, "It's done."
"At least there's some good news tonight!"
