C756 Warlord
The sky outside the window had already begun to brighten, and the eastern horizon was suffused with a golden morning light. That was the sign that the sun was about to rise, but no matter how strong the sunlight was, it couldn't dispel the haze in Xia Lei's heart.
"Our men found two corpses thirty kilometers north of Wangda Town, one black and one white. There were traces of gunfire, and it was very intense. Our intelligence experts think that the battle that happened north of Wangda Town was perhaps related to the people who were chasing after you and Tang Yuyan. " In a military SUV that was moving forward, Long Bing broke the silence.
She was a quiet woman, and the Xia Lei of today had become quiet as well. As a result, the two did not talk much, and the atmosphere inside the carriage became a little heavy.
Xia Lei was still staring at the sky blankly, as if he did not hear what Long Bing had said to him.
Long Bing's eyes revealed a look of worry, she said with concern: "Don't worry, everything is over, this kind of thing will never happen again."
Xia Lei regained his senses, then patted Long Bing's thigh, "I'm fine, don't worry about me. "Oh right, you said that two corpses were found. Where did they go?"
"Their bodies will be transported to Kyoto, and then a medical examiner will perform an autopsy. Their identities will be confirmed before further processing." Long Bing said.
Xia Lei really wanted to go over and see Baghu and Markus, but once he thought about the trouble that doing so would bring him, he had no choice but to give up this idea. The deceased were already dead, and looking at it was just a sense of nostalgia. The existence of the Zodiac Clan was still far from being publicly announced, so before then, he could not reveal his relationship with the Zodiac Clan.
"Let dad help me deal with this matter. Baghu and Markus are just like his children. He will take care of the matters behind Baghu and Baghu." Xia Lei thought in his heart.
"Is Tang Yuyan alright?" Long Bing suddenly asked.
"It's fine, she's only slightly injured." Xia Lei continued, "Why didn't you go in to take a look at her at the military base?"
"I don't want to be in front of her when she doesn't want to see me."
"Hmm?" Xia Lei felt that it was a little unexpected, "No way, your relationship with her is pretty good. "I can tell that although the two of you often quarrel, you still care a lot about each other."
Long Bing smiled, "I know her better than you do. At that time, it was her and your world of two. Her parents were there too. In her eyes, in the eyes of her parents, it's a family gathering. Why would I want to join in? "
Xia Lei felt extremely awkward, he tried to change the topic, "Gu Kewen is already dead."
"You told me that on the plane."
"Uh, really?"
"I know you're good to me, but I ?" Long Bing sighed lightly, "But I can't give you what a man wants."
"What?"
"Family, child. If you want to get married, Tang Yuyan is actually not bad. "
Xia Lei, "..."
The atmosphere in the car turned awkward and silent again.
She was a woman, too. Why was she not interested in what other women wanted? Xia Lei understood Long Bing very well, but he just couldn't make heads or tails of it.
Arriving at the headquarters of the 101 Bureau, Xia Lei followed Long Bing to Shi Boren's office. Other than Shi Boren, Liang Siyao and Tang Bochuan were there too.
"Are you okay?" When Liang Siyao saw Xia Lei, he immediately went forward to welcome him.
Xia Lei nodded and smiled to her, "I'm fine, don't worry."
"We'll talk later." Liang Siyao's voice was very soft, "Is that alright?"
Xia Lei nodded again.
"Alright, you guys can talk later." Shi Boren interrupted their conversation, "Xia Lei, besides protecting you, there's another reason why I called you back so urgently. You have to cooperate with the investigation."
"What is it?" Xia Lei looked at Shi Boren, and he felt that Shi Boren did not finish his words.
Shi Boren hesitated for a moment before saying: "Who did you talk to about this operation?"
Xia Lei was slightly taken aback, "Boss Shi, are you suspecting that the person beside me has leaked information and betrayed me?"
Shi Boren said: "It's not impossible, you must not underestimate the enemy's ability to plot against us. Think about it. Who did you mention it to? Or, does anyone know that you went to Xi Province? "
Many faces appeared in Xia Lei's mind. There were several people who knew that he was going to the Xi Province. Father Xia Changhe knew about it, and Sylvia and Anina knew about it as well. Xiao Xue's boyfriend, Liu Zhengnan, was also known to Liu Zhengnan. But these people were his family and friends. They would never betray him.
"Just give me a few names, don't worry about the rest." Shi Boren said.
Just as Xia Lei was about to speak, he saw Liang Siyao winking at him.
It was a signal.
Xia Lei did not want anyone to investigate his family and friends in the first place, so when he saw the look Liang Siyao gave him, he did not want to say it anymore.
"Are you sure no one knows that you went to Xi Province?"
Xia Lei shook his head, "No."
Shi Boren frowned, "You little rascal ? Tang Yuyan's family members were all very willing to accept an investigation, but you refused to even give them a name. "
Tang Bochuan followed: "Boss Shi, if Xia Lei said he did not have it, then there is not. The problem most likely does not lie with Xia Lei, just investigate our Tang Family more."
With that, Tang Bochuan smiled at Xia Lei.
Since Xia Lei did not want to take any favors, he had to take it, too. He smiled at Tang Bochuan.
The two men's actions were seen by the two women, but their reactions were different. Long Bing remained indifferent, while Liang Siyao curled her lips slightly.
Shi Boren shook his head and laughed bitterly: "You little guys are lying to me, right? Alright, I'll let you guys cheat me. In any case, I feel that it is impossible that the person beside Xia Lei leaked the news, and that it was only the orders from the higher-ups. From this position, I have to do what this position requires me to do. "
Xia Lei secretly thought in his heart: "A thorough investigation ordered for me to be called from the Xi Province to the 101st Bureau, and you want me to know the name of the person who made this operation. "Who's causing all this trouble here?"
"Xia Lei, I already received your report when you were on your way back." Shi Boren said, "After the battle last night, we found a total of ninety-eight corpses in the vicinity of Dazhuang Town and on the mountain. The Japanese, the Americans, the Indians, they all came for you. There are so many well-equipped professional soldiers, secret agents, and special forces. If it was a normal battle, no more than a few hundred people wouldn't be able to kill these people.
"Is this my report?"
Shi Boren glared at Xia Lei, "Could you possibly not write one? "You've killed so many people, Indian soldiers, CIA agents and special forces. Don't you need a report to explain the situation to your superiors?"
"Fine." Xia Lei said: "What happened was like this, our people are currently on a mission, a person wearing a monk's robe appeared ?"
He told her the whole story in a concise manner. The only thing he hid was everything related to Zhu Xuanyue.
"You killed fifty Indian soldiers by yourself, and those Americans who came up from the back mountains?" After hearing Xia Lei's explanation, Shi Boren was shocked.
Not only Shi Boren, Tang Bochuan, Liang Siyao and the others were also shocked.
One had to know, those enemies were not a motley crowd. Other than the Indian soldiers who were relatively weaker, the rest of them were professional agents who could fight one against ten, professional special forces! To be able to kill so many opponents by himself, how could anyone believe such a thing? However, this was a fact! With so many corpses as evidence, Xia Lei and Tang Yuyan being alive was also evidence.
"This is what happens." Xia Lei said: "However, this wasn't done by me alone, and there's still Tang Yuyan. She also killed a lot of enemies. "
Shi Boren said: "I called her before, she said she killed four, and you killed the rest. She also said that if you hadn't protected her, she would have died long ago. "
Xia Lei originally wanted to give a portion of the people that killed the enemy to Tang Yuyan, but he did not expect that Shi Boren had already talked to him over the phone. He shrugged his shoulders, "Boss Shi, could it be that there are rules about how many can only be killed?"
"You brat, I don't have any intention of criticizing you. Those invaders, you could have killed 9000 of them. In this battle, you have brought out the power of our nation. Well done! You are a fully deserving war god of our 101st Board! "
Xia Lei laughed bitterly, he definitely did not want to be a war god like this.
Shi Boren slapped on Xia Lei's shoulder, "However, this matter is too big. In this period of time, stay in your Rayma Military Factory and don't come out, don't participate in any gatherings, and don't meet any strangers. The most important thing is not to appear in the media. "
"I know that." Xia Lei said: "Oh yes, how do we deal with those corpses?"
"Our people didn't collect the bodies, but they've already written to relevant people in the United States and India to ask for an explanation."
Xia Lei said: "I'm afraid they won't recognize the identities of those people."
Shi Boren said: "We also do not expect them to admit it. If they do not admit to the identities of those people, we will deal with the corpses in the end. But let's leave the corpses there for now. Hopefully, there won't be many wild beasts and crows there in the next few days. "
For some reason, the image of Gu Kewen appeared in Xia Lei's mind. In this world of ice and snow, she lied on the snowy ground with a faint smile on her lips ?
He hated her. He had his reasons.
She hated him, and she had her reasons.
But no matter the reason, no matter the reason, it was no longer important. His grudge with her ended with her death.
Thinking about Gu Kewen at this time, there was no hatred in his heart.
Leaving Shi Boren's office, Liang Siyao dragged Xia Lei into her office.
"Boss Shi's words make sense. It's best if you don't show your face during this period of time." Liang Siyao warned repeatedly in a soft voice.
"I know, don't worry." Xia Lei said.
"Also, give me some time, I will find out who betrayed you." Liang Siyao said.
"Don't act recklessly, I'll look into this myself. They don't dare to do anything to me, but if you touch someone you shouldn't, you'll get into trouble. "
"If I get into trouble, will you help me?"
Xia Lei frowned: "What do you think?"
Liang Siyao suddenly hugged him.
Xia Lei was startled, he did not know if he should push her away.
Liang Siyao went close to his ear and whispered: "Go back, if there's any news, I'll come find you."
"Do you really want to check?"
"That's what I should do."
Knock, knock, knock. The sound of knocking on the door.
"Lei, it's time to go." Long Bing's voice sounded, "I'll send you back."
Liang Siyao quickly let go of Xia Lei.
"I'm leaving." Xia Lei said as he lowered his head and left.
