After a cursory clean-up of the site, Huo Jingrui had the captured enemy agents’ hands tied behind their backs, strung together like a skewer of candied hawthorns. This made them easier to watch over.
Turning to Qiao Wenyu, who was supporting Wei Zijia, he asked, "Do you need me to arrange for someone to look after you two?"
Qiao Wenyu shook his head. "No need, I’ll carry her down the mountain myself."
Standing by, Zheng Xuewen also spoke up, "He’s tired. I’ll take over for him."
Qiao Wenyu shot his good friend a glare. "She’s my girlfriend; I’ll take care of her myself."
Huo Jingrui, intending to teach Qiao Wenyu a lesson, gave him an inscrutable look and said, "Gather your things. Prepare to head down the mountain."
The enemy agents walked in the middle, flanked by the soldiers and armed personnel on the mission.
The large contingent then proceeded down the mountain.
「Hua’an Agricultural Reclamation Group」
Qiao Shaoguo had just hung up a call from Beijing and was wearily rubbing his temples.
He now dreaded the sound of the phone ringing, as not a single piece of good news had come from the mountain in days.
Well, it wasn’t entirely devoid of good news. At least he’d been notified that the Huo family’s youngest son was leading a team on a mission in the mountains. They would assist in searching for the three missing individuals.
He dared not imagine the consequences if those three reckless brats truly didn’t make it back.
Just as he rose to leave, someone entered. "Regimental Commander, Team Leader Song from the Security Division was carried back. His wife is raising hell in the medical office."
Qiao Shaoguo rushed out immediately. "Is the injury severe?"
Xiaoli was at a loss for words. Team Leader Song must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck to marry her, he thought. She’s constantly stirring up trouble, and Team Leader Song has become the laughingstock of Hua’an Farm Reclamation.
