438: Chapter 438 [War Machine] 438: Chapter 438 [War Machine] At last, Chen Zhongwei laughed like a wily old fox, and Ji Qingrong across from him also burst into laughter, “Old Chen, you always have more tricks up your sleeve, haha!”
“Let’s move quickly then, I heard that Tie Long is going to make his move tonight!” Chen Zhongwei kept a card up his sleeve, and did not tell Ji Qingrong about Chen Xijun.
“Alright, I will arrange it immediately.
That kid Tie Long dares to touch a son-in-law of the Ji Family, I definitely won’t let him off!” Ji Qingrong said righteously indignant.
“Good, your word is enough for me!” said Chen Zhongwei.
“Hey, Old Chen, it just occurred to me, why are you telling me all this so earnestly?” Ji Qingrong couldn’t help but ask.
“Doo doo doo…”
But all that came through the phone was the busy signal, frustrating Ji Qingrong so much he started fuming, “What a sly old fox indeed!”
…
Chu Qingxue was brought to a villa.
“Miss Chu, welcome!” The person who came to greet Chu Qingxue was a man in his forties, adorned with gold-rimmed glasses, dressed in a tailor-made shirt and slacks, exuding a refined elegance, looking every bit the successful professional.
Chu Qingxue combed through all the faces in her mind, but she was certain she had never seen this man before.
However, she came to terms with it; since the other party wanted the data on the Nano Warhead, they definitely wouldn’t show their true face.
“Hello, may I ask, when will you rescue Ye Chenfeng?” Chu Qingxue got straight to the point.
“Miss Chu, there’s no hurry, as you know, rescuing your husband is not an easy task!
It requires a lot of complex procedures!” the middle-aged man said with a smile.
Chu Qingxue nodded, “No problem, I can wait.”
A hint of hesitation flashed across the middle-aged man’s face as he said with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes, “Miss Chu, we naturally wouldn’t deceive you, but what about you?”
“Since I am already here, do you still fear I might deceive you?” Chu Qingxue countered.
“Miss Chu, we must guard against your wits; Chu Xiuen is a very good example,” the middle-aged man said, his eyes gleaming with depth.
“Don’t worry, I can’t run away anyway!” Chu Qingxue said with just a faint smile.
“Then, Miss Chu, please stay here for now.
If you need anything, just call,” said the middle-aged man before standing up and leaving.
“Prince, seeing how confident Chu Qingxue is, I feel she must have a backup plan!” Once outside, the middle-aged man made a phone call.
“Even if she has a backup plan, I’m not afraid.
I’ve already set Miao Jin in motion!
With him around, all worries are superfluous!” The Prince’s words were like a soothing pill.
…
Capital City, Ji Family’s compound.
The guard was strict, with sentries every five steps and posts at every ten.
Soldiers patrolled from time to time, and each of them was a tall and burly elite from the military with subdued auras.
“Boom!”
A large Cherokee roared to a stop at the entrance of the Ji Family’s compound.
“Clack!”
As the car door opened, the first thing that came into view were two straight and rounded lower legs.
Above the ankles, the legs were perfectly contoured, as though even the creator would go crazy for them.
A tall figure emerged, with long, round, and resilient thighs that, even wrapped in combat trousers, remained straight and long.
A gentle breeze passed by, lifting the scent of the beautiful woman by its side—it was like orchids and musk, subtle and intoxicating, emanating from within, compelling one to capture that alluring trace.
Standing at about one hundred seventy-three centimeters, she wore a camouflaged Combat Suit that outlined her perfect figure, especially with a bulletproof vest layered on top of it.
The woman had an oval face, delicate and fair, with skin so fine it looked breakable.
She had bold, well-shaped eyebrows, crystal-clear eyes, a delicate nose, and lips that were pursed into a flower shape.
She was stunning, but her face seemed to be tinged with aloof indifference, and her aura even exuded a killing intent!
Moreover, the woman carried an indescribable presence; unlike the remote air about Chu Qingxue, this woman exuded the aura of a battlefield sovereign, commanding fear and respect wherever she stood.
Her eyes were slightly squinted, but her gaze was piercing, almost heart-chilling.
One could barely feel any of humanity’s seven emotions and six desires emanating from her.
She was just as Chen Zhongwei described—a killing machine, a war machine.
“General Ji!”
A booming voice will greet her wherever she goes.
“Qiushui, you’re here?” Inside the courtyard, Ji Qingrong was meticulously watering the plants with a watering can, hearing the hurried rhythmic footsteps, he didn’t turn back and said.
“Grandfather, what did you summon me for?” The woman spoke, her tone ice-cold and seemingly full of discontent.
“Ha-ha!” Ji Qingrong laughed, then turned around slowly, “What?
Qiushui, can’t your grandfather find you without a reason?”
“Grandfather, I’m currently participating in an anti-terrorism drill, and I’m the commander.
Calling me back at this time is like disobeying an order on the battlefield!” Ji Qiushui spoke fast, expressing her dissatisfaction forcefully.
No wonder Ji Qiushui was wearing a Combat Suit; she was in the middle of anti-terrorism training.
Ji Qingrong said with a smile, “Qiushui, with your grandfather here, who would dare to punish you?”
“Please just tell me the mission, grandfather,” Ji Qiushui seemed unwilling to waste words.
“Indeed, there is a mission for you!”
“What mission?” At last, a hint of curiosity surfaced in Ji Qiushui’s cold gaze.
Ji Qingrong hesitated before finally saying, “You need to make a trip to Jiangnan and bring your fiancé back.”
“What?
Fiancé?” Ji Qiushui was shocked.
“That’s right, do you remember Ye Chenfeng from the Ye Family?
The kid is back now,” Ji Qingrong said.
“Him?
Ye Chenfeng?” Ji Qiushui’s eyes sparkled with various emotions, and a blurry figure emerged in her mind: frail, sickly, and weak.
Uncharacteristically, Ji Qiushui added, “Grandfather, didn’t we already call off the engagement with the Ye Family?
Moreover, he has been expelled by the Ye Family.
Why do we need to bring him back now?”
Ji Qingrong spoke earnestly, “Let me tell you the truth, this kid is not the same as he used to be.
If the Ye Family doesn’t want him, the Ji Family does.
Qiushui, now go to Jiangnan and bring him back.
This is your grandfather’s mission to you!
You must complete it, of course, I will send someone to assist you!” he commanded with decisive authority.
“Yes, sir, Ji Qiushui guarantees to complete the mission!” At that moment, Ji Qiushui behaved just like a machine, her eyes fixed only on the word “mission,” and she didn’t even ask further about this significant matter.
