Chapter 1489: Chapter 1489: Finale Part 37
Ye Lu was startled and worried, "Can they still come to support us?"
Third Young Master Jun’s eyes were calm as he held her tense hand and smiled confidently, "I, Third Young Master Jun, am not an average person, so the partners I choose also won’t be ordinary. Even if the Godfather changes the location of the deal, he won’t escape tonight. Actually, the plan we secretly discussed earlier was very precise and perfectly laid out. But the very perfection of such a seemingly perfect plan is its greatest risk.
That’s why we all believe there is only a fifty percent chance of success for this plan. I’m not even sure if the Godfather will appear at the trading site. If he doesn’t show up, then no matter how brilliant the plan, it will all be in vain. However, tonight, although there was a change in the plan, the most important thing is that we’ve completely drawn the Godfather out. This time, we’ve lured the Godfather, the big snake, out of his hole with our very lives and now must deliver a fatal blow, or it will be hard to catch him once he leaves North America."
"When will they be able to find us?" Ye Lu asked.
"When the Godfather suddenly summoned me, I vaguely felt something was off, so I told Lie Feng that if I didn’t send out any information within an hour, he should take appropriate action and notify our allies. I think they will act immediately to track our whereabouts and deploy emergency measures. But with so many vehicles and routes out of the city, it will take them some time to identify the Godfather’s car, and being out here in the wild—a vast, desolate area—it’s not easy to pinpoint this exact location. I estimate it will take about half an hour for them to find us here."
A half hour. Ye Lu heard this but felt no relief, instead, her heart chilled, filled with anxious worries.
Under normal circumstances, half an hour is indeed very short, but now, surrounded by the Godfather’s relentless pursuit, even five minutes would be unbearable. This was a life-and-death crisis fought in seconds.
Clearly understanding Ye Lu’s concerns, Third Young Master Jun held her tightly, his promise deep and unwavering.
"Don’t worry, even if I must exhaust my last drop of blood, I will protect you until they arrive."
Ye Lu’s heart clenched as she yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about? No one is allowed to get hurt."
"I’m afraid the Godfather won’t give us half an hour, look!" Suddenly the nearby shadow spoke up, silently, sharply gazing at the sky. Through the sparse leaves, beams of red light shot in from outside the woods.
It was an infrared detector.
Third Young Master Jun’s face changed slightly.
Ye Lu turned her head unexpectedly and only then saw the shadow standing not far aside.
He had been standing in the shadows all along, and being a person with a low presence, he hadn’t been detected until he spoke up.
"Why are you here?" Ye Lu was astonished.
Third Young Master Jun then told her about the shadow breaking from the Godfather: "Now the shadow is with us."
The shadow shook his head, "I’m not with you."
Then he looked at Ye Lu.
"I’m with her! I’m not helping you; I’m helping her."
Third Young Master Jun’s handsome face turned dark, gritting his teeth, wanting to get angry but unable to, he snorted, turned his head, feeling bitter about considering him a comrade-in-arms.
Having a wife too charming is truly a husband’s worry; this shadow, usually with no presence, seemingly ineloquent, turned out to be faking weakness to play at being strong. Now the words he said were so pleasing to women.
Sure enough, Ye Lu looked shocked and moved, "You... why? I haven’t done anything."
She couldn’t imagine that the shadow would betray the Godfather for her, as he had always been cold, like an emotionless robot.
