“That’s great!” Lu Zhaoyang felt like a weight was lifted off her chest. “He must be coming home soon, right?”
“Maybe.”
Huo Yunting’s reply was vague.
In fact, he knew that it would probably take awhile before Huo Chen returned.
Z Country finally had a valid excuse for its soldiers to enter the Golden Triangle. They would make good use of this opportunity to cleanse the area.
Even if they could not remove enemy forces completely from the place, they would at the very least bring a few years of peace to the people.
...
When Lu Zhaoyang received news of Huo Chen, the man in question was sitting by a river and studying a photo. He traced the edges of the photo with his fingers, lost in his own thoughts. His gaze was unusually mellow.

“Are you spacing out by yourself again? Or are you thinking of your first love?”
“...”
Huo Chen pocketed the photo quietly and watched the turbid waters flowing in front of him.
“Sigh.”
Wen He sat down beside him. Like Huo Chen, she was dressed in camouflage uniform, which made her look taller and handsome.
She propped her chin in her palm and said, “I’m beginning to miss Bai too. I wonder when we can go back.”
Huo Chen frowned slightly. “I can ask people to send you back first, if you wish.”
“No way!”
Wen He rejected the offer without hesitation. “Your mission may be over and you are just tying up loose ends now, but Huo Chen, we can never be too careful here. I don’t know what you plan to do next, but I will do my best to protect you.”
Huo Chen was taken aback. He suppressed the feelings that threatened to show in his eyes and maintained a cold expression.
“That is not necessary.”
His cool attitude felt like a stab in her heart.
She inhaled deeply and waved in affected grace. “Think of it as my way of paying you back for helping me the last couple of times.”
Huo Chen did not say anything after and Wen He went silent too.
They watched the river together without a word. Somewhere behind them, the special operations team led by Huo Chen was setting up camp.
They found an abandoned warehouse and converted it into a makeshift base. Armed soldiers took turns patrolling to keep an eye out on enemy forces.
Suddenly, Huo Chen’s comms device flashed in red.
He stood up promptly and headed back to base.
Wen He was not too far behind him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What happened?”
He stepped into the base and asked.
Song Shou saluted him and said, “Sir, one of our patrol units spotted the last three members of the organization. Should we pursue?”
“Immediately!” Huo Chen’s eyes lit up. “Deploy the first squad right away.”
“Yes sir!”
Huo Chen split their thousand-strong force into twenty squads, with fifty members each.
The first squad was deployed while the rest of special operations force stayed behind.
Half an hour, they received another sighting. Song Shou reported, “Sir, we spotted a few suspicious figures in the periphery, probably members of other syndicates in the Golden Triangle. Should we pursue?”
“Yes,” Huo Chen replied without expression. “There is no need to capture them alive.”
“Yes sir!”
From then on, it was a long, quiet period until night came.
Bang!
A gunshot pierced the silence in the night.
“Sir, we’re under attack!”
