Guo Xuyang arrived at the safe house to find Lü Liang waiting outside.
"What's the situation?" Lü Liang asked.
"Let's talk inside."
After entering the room, Guo Xuyang released Sarah first.
"What's going on?" Lü Liang didn't understand why Guo Xuyang would bring out this semi-nude woman.
"She's the one who ordered my child to be snatched. She's an outer affiliate of the CIA, and I heard many of her 'insects' are her people. You can interrogate her thoroughly."
"Brother, you've brought us a great gift."
"We're brothers, aren't we? Don't kill her, I still have use for her."
"You're not involved with her, are you?"
"What are you talking about? After the interrogation, quietly let her go. She's very useful to me."
"Understood."
"Let her stay here for a while. We'll go to another room."
"There's more?" Lü Liang asked.
"This one is a bit tricky. If you can't handle it, contact Director Jiang."
"You didn't bring Cherisa here, did you?" Lü Liang exclaimed in surprise.
"Brother Liang, is this your guess? Why do I feel your sixth sense is so strong?"
"Damn, you're serious."
Lü Liang couldn't help but swear. Guo Xuyang released Cherisa. However, it was a bit indecent, as she was still naked.
"Did you raid her nest or trap her?"
"What are you talking about? Am I that desperate?"
"What's the situation with this one?"
"I couldn't find Sarah, so I had to make her find Sarah. That's why I brought her along."
"Brother, I'm discovering you're not just good. You're like a calf standing on its head, reaching for the sky."
"However, this is also a hot potato. Think carefully about how to handle it. Don't do anything rash and against the rules."
"Don't worry about that. I'll contact the boss."
"There are two more, her young dogs. I don't know if they know anything. I'll leave them with you too."
Guo Xuyang said, releasing the two young men. They were also naked.
"Good physiques, comparable to yours."
"Brother Liang, what are you saying? Am I as weak as them?"
"These two are not ordinary people. Look at their fingers; they are also accustomed to handling guns. Leave them here."
"Everyone was asleep at the time, and I took advantage of the situation."
"That seems likely, otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to succeed."
"Alright, I came to you for this. I'll be leaving now."
"What about that person?"
"Who?"
"The one who took the child."
"Gone. Do you think I would let her go?"
"Who? Do you know her?"
"No. You need to interrogate that Sarah thoroughly; she has many insects under her command."
"Don't worry. I'll make her spit it all out."
"Just keep her alive. I have no other demands."
"Did you inform her when you let her go?"
"No. I left something inside her body."
"Alright then. I won't see you out."
"No need. I'm leaving."
Guo Xuyang said goodbye to Lü Liang and left.
"Director Jiang, thank you. The child has been found."
He made a call to Jiang Qixin while driving.
"It's good you found her. Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I've captured a few informants and just sent them to Brother Liang."
"Is Cherisa alright?"
"Your old flame? Why are you so concerned about her?" Guo Xuyang joked.
"How can you say that? She's no ordinary person. If you mess with her, things will get chaotic on that side."
"This... I handed her over to Brother Liang."
"What? You brought her over too?"
"This woman was not behaving, so I tied her up."
"You, what can I say about you? This is much better than those lists."
Jiang Qixin burst out laughing upon hearing this.
"I thought I had made a mistake, you scared me."
"Now let's see what they do. This counts as a merit for you."
"Director Jiang, we can't just talk. Let's do something practical. We still need more people like Brother Liang, a dozen more."
"What are you thinking? These are national treasures. Those few were given to you reluctantly because they had made mistakes."
"Even slightly inferior ones would be fine. You know, this time my parents were terrified. They insisted that Xiao Bao must have two people with him at all times."
"I'll help you keep an eye out for that. But it won't be too many. Doesn't your security company still have many people?"
"The security company is fine for guarding something, but if they encounter someone like Xu Jiao, it's as good as throwing them away."
"Xu Jiao? What's the situation?"
Guo Xuyang heard this and realized he had let something slip.
"That, that..."
"What is it? Just say it."
"Xu Jiao is the one who snatched Niu Niu. She became an insect under Cherisa's outer affiliates and was turned."
"What? She was turned? Is what you're saying true?"
"Yes. I didn't spare her."
"How could this happen? It shouldn't be like this. This young girl isn't that kind of person."
"People change. I didn't expect it to be her either."
"Where is she?"
"Disappeared."
"Why didn't you hand her over to me for handling?"
"Director Jiang, if it were you, you wouldn't be lenient either. These people have infiltrated too deeply. Do you remember what I told you about the base? Do you know how you handled it?"
"They are all talented. It would be a pity to kill them."
"Talent causes greater destruction. When they are not of one mind with you, they will deliberately dig pits. Especially in major technological projects. Do you remember the incident with the satellite wire connection being reversed that year? How could such a low-level mistake happen? Haven't you considered deeper issues? And the matter of the aircraft carrier's chief engineer, do you think that was an accident?"
"I understand now."
"Don't blame me for being heartless. If she hadn't tried to snatch my child, I might have let her go. But she should never have touched my child."
"I understand. Since it's done, let it be. Regardless, this will count as a merit for you."
"If you are truly sincere, then have people in place as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'll be on edge outside and still have to worry about things at home."
"I will handle Xiao Qi for this."
"This has nothing to do with Xiao Qi. It was my oversight that day."
"You don't know that you can't be stingy with rewards and lenient with punishments, and that a benevolent person cannot lead soldiers?" Jiang Qixin said indignantly. "What are they there for? Can't even handle such a small matter."
"If that's the case, do I have to be punished along with them?"
"Don't they know what kind of work they are doing? Have they become too accustomed to a good life and forgotten their purpose?"
"If that's the case, do I also have to face punishment?"
"Your pleading is useless. If we indulge this time, who knows what kind of mess will be made next time."
Guo Xuyang saw that there was no way to reason further and stopped speaking.
"I will arrange for a few more people to be transferred to you. Contact Liangzi when you get back. That's all for now."
"Thank you, Director Jiang. Let Xiao Qi stay by my side."
"That depends on their performance."
"Alright then."
Guo Xuyang hadn't expected Jiang Qixin to vent his anger on Xiao Qi and the others for this matter. However, thinking about it, it was indeed Xiao Qi and the others' fault. Their mission was to prevent anyone from harming Guo Xuyang's family. It was precisely because Guo Xuyang was pursuing them closely that if it wasn't Xu Jiao who snatched the child, but someone else? Guo Xuyang truly dared not imagine the consequences. At that time, even if all these people were killed, what would be the use? Yes, he could use his abilities to reverse time. But this mistake was definitely a major one, and it was no wonder Jiang Qixin was so angry.
