CHAPTER 945: CHAPTER 945: PROTECTION ORDER

PM, Governor’s Mansion Resort Hotel.

Li Qiao and Shang Yu entered the room, and everyone in the living room stood up, "Qiaoqiao, Master Yan."

He Chen and Yin Mo were not present, and everyone’s faces showed tense seriousness.

Li Qiao and Shang Yu took their seats, and Shen Qingye turned the computer on the coffee table toward Li Qiao, "The road surveillance has been checked. Their last appearance was near the Tian Character Pharmacy."

Su Moshi’s face remained calm as he looked at Li Qiao, "The Personal Guards have been searching around the pharmacy for an hour. They found traces of sudden braking by a bulletproof car at the intersection of Zuokan Street and Liao Mountain Road."

Song Liao was about to speak when Shang Yu rubbed his fingertips and lazily lifted his eyelids, "Bulletproof car?"

Li Qiao also slightly curved her lips, looking to the side at the man, "Seems like... they took it on my behalf."

They came back from the Yangshan Imperial Residence, during which Li Qiao kept making phone calls.

Luoyu and Xia Siyu’s disappearance was originally quite strange, but if they drove away Li Qiao’s exclusive bulletproof car, it wasn’t unexpected.

Shang Yu and Li Qiao exchanged glances, some things don’t need to be said outright.

Coincidentally, they had just met Uncle Tan tonight, and immediately after Luoyu and Xia Lao Wu disappeared.

Li Qiao touched her forehead; the Tan Family was a chip Shang Zonghai used to hold the Bai Family in check, and he had said something at the Imperial Residence: the Bai Family’s thoughts had become inappropriate.

At this moment, Li San took out a cigarette from his pocket, glanced at Li Qiao, and said to Shang Yu, "Step outside to smoke?"

The man lowered his eyelashes slightly, and soon the two of them walked out of the living room one after the other.

In the scene, only the Five Sons and Nan Xin were left.

Li Qiao took a sip of mineral water, "Where is Yun Lih?"

Shen Qingye motioned towards the next room with his mouth, "Brother Lih seems to be feeling quite guilty. Lao Wu went out this afternoon to fetch medicine for him."

Li Qiao pressed her lips together, grabbed the computer from the table, skillfully logged into the system, typed a few letters, and then picked up her phone to make a call.

The call connected quickly, and before any chattering began, Li Qiao bluntly asked, "The chassis number for the bulletproof car?"

"You forgot again?" Wu Minmin muttered, "FABVIE792PUT30149, tire parameters 225/60R17, engine speed..."

Li Qiao let out a breath, "That’s enough, sleep early."

Before Wu Minmin could spill more detailed information, Li Qiao had already ended the call abruptly.

Her friend had no particular merits except for an extraordinary memory, able to recite all major and minor matters related to Li Qiao backwards.

Like the seventeen-digit chassis number or tire parameters—these insignificant details.

Su Moshi caught a glimpse of Li Qiao’s phone screen out of the corner of his eye, and raised his eyebrow in surprise, "You called Minmin?"

Li Qiao entered the chassis number into the system, responding with a soft ’um’.

Su Moshi was even more astonished; how did his wife... know the chassis number of the bulletproof car?

Half a minute later, Li Qiao activated the satellite positioning system built into the bulletproof car and handed the computer to Shen Qingye, "Input the time and the hotel’s coordinates in the top right corner to check the driving trajectory of the bulletproof car."

Shen Qingye didn’t dare delay, so he immediately followed the steps on the computer to start the operation.

Nan Xin, who had been quiet for a while, looked at Li Qiao’s figure entering the next room and nodded knowingly, "No wonder the lady is so calm, the bulletproof car actually has a positioning feature."

In the next room, Yun Lih leaned against the windowsill with his hands in the pockets of his suit pants, his head down, lost in thought.

As soon as he heard a knock on the door, he looked up and saw Li Qiao.

The door half-opened, their gazes collided mid-air, and the complex emotions in Yun Lih’s eyes couldn’t be concealed, caught right by Li Qiao.

Yun Lih’s Adam’s apple moved, his pale lips pulling into a slight smile, "Did they call you over?"

"Otherwise, were you planning to keep it from me?" Li Qiao paced to the wicker chair by the window and sat down, "There is a reason she is missing, it’s not your fault."

Yun Lih seated himself, gazing distantly out the window, "It’s times like this that only you are this calmly comforting me."

"Is there a need to comfort?" Li Qiao studied him; the poison had worn down the Mercenary Group leader, stripping him of his former charisma, veiled in a cloud of gloom, "It’s just a minor accident, I’ll find them."

Yun Lih closed his eyes, chuckled self-mockingly, "If I hadn’t come to Myanmar, maybe..."

"Brother Lih." Li Qiao crossed her slender legs, staring at him calmly, "There’s no ’if’ in many things, and even if you hadn’t come, what’s destined to happen will happen."

Yun Lih turned back to meet Li Qiao’s dark eyes, his lips moved, but he hesitated to speak.

There was much he wanted to say, but ultimately he swallowed it back.

Li Qiao didn’t blame him, no one blamed him, yet Yun Lih couldn’t quite forgive himself.

From the time he infiltrated Charlman Manor, he unwittingly became a burden.

Li Qiao consoled Yun Lih a bit, noticing the subtle changes on his cheeks, she advised him to rest well and then left the next room.

Back in the living room, Li Qiao exchanged a glance with Su Moshi and sent him a message via phone.

Li Qiao: Keep an eye on Yun Lih, if necessary, don’t let him leave.

Su Moshi saw the message and nodded, leaning to whisper in Li Qiao’s ear, "Don’t worry, I have tranquilizers."

...

At the corner of the corridor, Li San squinted as he puffed on a cigarette, "Shaoyan, I’ll take care of Xia Siyu and Luoyu, no matter if it’s a dragon’s den or a tiger’s lair, I’ll bring them back."

Shang Yu slipped one hand into his pocket, looking down at the flickering cigarette butt, "She won’t agree."

"You’ll listen to her?" Li San furrowed his brow, his face stern as well, "Qiaoqiao is pregnant, special circumstances require special treatment, what if she acts impulsively..."

Before he finished speaking, Shang Yu’s profound gaze slowly turned to Li San, his voice deep and questioned, "When have you ever seen Qiaoqiao act impulsively?"

Li San: "..."

This is a hell of a time to discuss whether she acts impulsively!

Shang Yu exhaled subtle smoke from his thin lips, glancing at Liuyun a few steps away, giving him a look.

Seeing this, Liuyun stepped forward, speaking formally, "Third Master Li, before Madam came to Myanmar, she applied three protection orders to all of you. Even if Luoyu and Miss Xia were really captured, if the other side dares harm them, they will be pursued as terrorists by the International Special Police with an anti-terrorism arrest order."

Li San shuddered, the hand holding the cigarette paused at his lips, "W-what? Like Song Lao Liu’s organization?"

Liuyun glanced at Shang Yu; seeing no change in his expression, he spoke frankly, "According to our investigation, it is a special police organization under the International Security Federal Bureau, with broader jurisdiction than the international police, and any operation is unrestricted by borders."

Li San was even more bewildered, "How does she know the International Special Police?"

"That... we don’t know either."

Liuyun shook his head sheepishly; they discovered the existence of these three protection orders because they found seven protection orders on the boss.
