Chapter 512 Robust Deployment
An Lingxi, who was on the other side, was shocked and said, “You got injured?”
Leon shook his head and said, “No, it’s not my blood.”
Held on. He was pressed down by Xiaoniao just now. It was obvious that Xiaoniao shivered above him...
Right at the moment, it also crossed Xia Ning’s mind. She then stared at Xiaoniao with anxiety. Judging from his appearance, Xiaoniao was pale and sweating without saying anything.
“Tell me where it hurts, Xiaoniao?” Xia Ning asked anxiously and walked towards him with her hands ready to hold him.
Xiaoniao took a step back after touching Xia Ning’s hands. It was exactly the step back that made him dizzy and about to fall.
“You little fool.” Man stepped forward and held Xiaoniao up. After looking at Xiaoniao’s body, she immediately knew where the injury was. Man said, “The injury is so close to the heart. You’re lucky.”
With his mouth slightly open, Xiaoniao gasped when blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He gnashed his teeth and a mouthful of blood was spat out. Xiaoniao then said, “I’m OK. I’d like some sugar...” Before finishing his words, Xiaoniao began to cough.
With that, Xiaoniao reached out and groped for the lollipop in the bag.
“Bullets are in your lungs. Don’t talk. You would be choked by lollipops.” With that, Man said to Jing Shu, “Take good care of madame, Shu. I am gonna take Xiaoniao to the ambulance.”
Jing Shu nodded and said, “Get it. Be careful.”
It was not sure whether snipers outside retreated or not. If Xia Ning was the target, Man and Xiaoniao would not be shot.
Xia Ning cried out as if she had sensed something, “Man, Xiaoniao, don’t tell your commander about that.”
Man was a bit confused and asked, “Why?”
“Your commander is now in a meeting. Tell him later. All right, just be quick and take Xiaoniao to the ambulance.”
Man hesitated for a while before she took Xiaoniao into the ambulance.
Yuriko Shizuka’s eyes darkened after she heard the report of her subordinate. A sound of cry came and the hands of the subordinate kept bleeding. His palm was pierced by a sharp blade.
“You b*st*rd. Can’t even work such things out.”
Looking at the blood on the ground and hearing the man’s cry, Zuo Yi made a sign to people on both sides. Soon, the subordinate was taken away.
“Miss Yuriko, there are masters around Xia Ning who can protect her. So, it’s not easy for assassination.”
Yuriko Shizuka gnashed her teeth. She was about to be on board. What she thought was that Xia Ning should at least have got injured. As long as she was injured, she would not give birth to that baby. But now, Xia Ning was safe and sound, which made her mad.
“Xia Ning, D*mn it.” With her fist clenched tightly, Yuriko pondered if she could take advantage of this last bit of time to teach Xia Ning a lesson.
Seeing that Yuriko Shizuka was a bit out of control, Zuo Yi said at once, “Miss Yuriko, mission failed. Yi Yunrui will soon be aware. At that time, we will stand in an unfavorable position. So, I think we’d better come back to Japan as soon as possible.”
If they didn’t leave as soon as possible, they would be in trouble if Yi Yunrui knew about it.
Yuriko Shizuka bit her mouth... She was thinking that she was about to return to Japan anyway. So, she would like to teach Xia Ning a lesson before leaving. In this way, there would be a retreat for her whether she succeeded or not. Even if Yi Yunrui was aware later, she would not suffer from much because Japan was her land.
But now she could not even hurt Xia Ning in the slightest. So, she couldn’t be calm.
The resentment in Yuriko Shizuka’s eyes made Zuo Yi frown. He thought, “Miss Yuriko has always been a chilling person, but Yi Yunrui is her weakness. She will be out of control if anything related to Yi Yunrui happens to her.”
“Just like what it is now, even the Third Rear Group will be in trouble if Miss Yuriko is entangled in it.”
With a cold look in his eyes, Zuo Yi knelt down on his knees and said, “Miss Yuriko, you are the future successor. Shall we just retreat for the sake of the whole group?”
She was the successor of the Third Rear Group...
Yuriko Shizuka took a deep breath with her eyes closed. As long as she became the head of the Third Rear Group, it would be quite easy to kill Xia Ning.
She wouldn’t let Yi Yunrui go. Once she owned the group, it was likely that Yi Yunrui would be in her hands.
Thinking about that, Yuriko Shizuka calmed down. She opened her eyes and said in a cold voice, “Alright. Let’s go back to Japan.”
“Yes.”
“Chief Editor Xia, please help yourself to some tea.” Putting a cup of Tieguanyin in front of Xia Ning, Director Tong said, “The surroundings of the media building have been checked. I believe we will be out of danger soon, and the perpetrator will soon be on the table. Just rest assured, Chief Editor Xia.”
Director Tong came to the media building and escorted Xia Ning to the Public Security Bureau shortly after the accident. Tasting the Tieguanyin brewed by Director Tong, Xia Ning was relieved and said, “Thanks a lot, Director Tong.”
“You are welcome. Punishing evil and promoting good is the duty of the people’s police. Chief Editor Xia, I suggest that you should stay here in case of emergency before Commander Yi arrives.” Even the most brutal murderers would not dare to rush to the police station and launch a fight. If that happened, he or she would be an enemy of the entire country. No one was gonna take the risk.
Xia Ning nodded, “Thank you so much for it, Director Tong.”
The situation outside is unknown. She’d better stay at the police station at the moment for the sake of the safety of the baby and her own.
It’s almost four o’clock in the afternoon. Yi Yunrui said he would be busy working some important things out in High Command. It was better to wait until he was done.
This conference room was full of people and generals of troops at all levels. Yi Yunrui sat in the chairman’s seat, listening to the reports and deployments of his subordinates.
Hearing from the central government, Yi Yunrui knew exactly that many terrorist forces were infiltrating and trying to undermine the people’s tranquility and national stability recently, and he must pay close attention to them.
The meeting had been on for two hours and the works at all levels were almost arranged. It seemed to Yi Yunrui that he could hurry home and make dinner for his little wife.
Right at the moment, Zhang Hai walked into the conference room and hurried to Yi Yunrui’s side, with a few words in a whisper. As soon as Zhang Hai finished talking, Yi Yunrui was distorted by rage. Ignoring whoever was expressing himself, Yi Yunrui stood up and said, “Folks, that’s it for today. Tomorrow, another time will be arranged for the meeting. Today’s meeting is over.”
Yi Yunrui got up and left without a word.
To everyone’s surprise, Yi Yunrui left during the meeting. And all were shocked.
Yi Yunrui could even remain calm before Mount Tai collapsed. He would not even frown a bit even in the most difficult time. What happened on earth?
Did anyone dare to challenge the iron-blooded military god?
One thing was for sure that the person would play the fire to burn himself.
“When did that happen?” Yi Yunrui asked Zhang Hai as they headed their way out.
“Just two hours ago...”
Hearing about that, Yi Yunrui stomped his feet and said, “What? Two hours till now. Why not report to me earlier?”
The real culprit was probably at large in two hours’ time.
“Madam asked us not to tell you. She was afraid to put you in trouble...” Zhang Hai was frightened when confronted with Yi Yunrui’s anger.
Feeling quite unpleasant, Yi Yunrui clenched his fist on the spot.
He was surely doing business. But his wife’s encounter far outweighed his business. It was obvious that someone had premeditated the murder. He couldn’t even imagine how his little wife would be afraid when he didn’t stay with her.
Wait!
“Have you ever found out which direction the bullets were shot? And how far away is it?”
“The car was moving and the bullets were shot from a single room in the building not far away. It was from the east around 300 meters from the car.”
Yi Yunrui’s eyes got deep and dark!
Judged from the precise positioning and long-distance sniping, the murder must be professional.
Moreover, he was not an ordinary professional killer...
“Where is Ning now?”
“Director Tong took her to the police station.”
Yi Yunrui’s sharp eyes flashed as there were already countermeasures in his mind. And then he turned around and went back to the Commander Office.
“Tell the leaders of all forces in C City to come to High Command in an hour.”
Zhang Hai appeared to be chilling after hearing about that. The word “forces” referred to those who belonged to sinister gangs. Though it was not obvious between the good and evil, what Commander Yi did was quite audacious.
Due to Commander Yi’s daring and resolution, he had been second to none till now. But this time, he must be furious. Someone was going to suffer if he was serious. Zhang Hai replied, “Yes, commander.”
Director Tong was at a loss when he heard that news from High Command. Only Commander Yi could take a grip of those leaders.
“Director Tong, what should we do?” His assistant asked in a low voice.
After pondering for a while, Director Tong said, “Keep a close eye on it. Tell me if there is any news.”
“Yes.”
The assistant went away. Sensing some signs of solemnity, Xia Ning asked, “Director Tong, What’s up? Any inconveniences?”
“No, not at all.” Director Tong smiled and said so. He poured another cup of tea for Xia Ning, “That’s alright. Help yourself please, Mrs. Xia.”
Sensing what Director Tong implied, Xia Ning knew exactly that something was up.
“Director Tong, just get straight to the point. What’s going on?”
Director Tong said after a few seconds, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Xia. No problems here. Commander Yi heard about the accident and was ready to handle it.”
Xia Ning was shocked and said, “How could he know it in such a short time?”
“Didn’t Rui say that there would be important things to deal with?”
Director Tong smiled and said, “Mrs. Xia, you know exactly what Commander Yi is thinking about. He is bound to know it.”
It was acknowledged that Xia Ning was the apple in Yi Yunrui’s eyes. But now someone was to kill her. He was concerned about how the murders would be punished.
Did they ever not know how powerful Yi Yunrui was?
At this moment, Xia Ning received a call from Yi Yunrui.
Feeling extremely warm in her heart, Xia Ning pressed the answer button. Before she could speak, Yi Yunrui’s nervous voice came from the other side of the phone, “Are you OK, dear? Got hurt?”
After hearing her husband’s solicitous voice, the uneasiness and anxiety in Xia Ning’s heart all dissipated at the moment, leaving only the sweetness, “I’m fine, dear. Just rest assured.”
