Chapter 1009: Chapter 1009: Lu Xiangxiang in Trouble
Zhang Lu’s words made Ye Fan’s nerves tense. Rembering the threat Zhang Lu had warned about that lurks around ngyao, he hurriedly asked, "Did sothing happen to ngyao?"
"No, with
around, you can rest assured about ngyao. Nothing could go wrong." Zhang Lu was afraid Ye Fan would worry unnecessarily and explained, "It’s ngyao’s sister Lu Xiangxiang who’s in trouble. Lu Xiangxiang and Gao Mingyuan led a team to a dical exchange conference, and on their way back, they were captured by a drug lord organization. The organization is demanding a ransom of thirty million, but I’m worried if we pay, they’ll kill them anyway."
"This drug lord organization often operates in the jungles along the southwest border, notorious for its ruthlessness with no sense of brotherhood. A third of the drugs flowing into the southwest are managed by this organization."
Zhang Lu briefly explained the situation.
Lu Xiangxiang is one of ngyao’s sisters. In their circle, ngyao, Lu Xiangxiang, Zhao Shiyan, and Sun Shangxiang are closest—best friends.
Zhao Shiyan is now a vegetable, but let’s not ntion that for now.
As for Lu Xiangxiang, she’s also one of ngyao’s closest and guiltiest sisters. ngyao’s cold personality partly stems from when she was young and playing with Lu Xiangxiang’s brother. He saved ngyao from the swimming pool, and ngyao was too scared to do anything but watch as Xiangxiang’s brother drowned.
Ye Fan naturally knew about these past events; ngyao had confided in him.
Even without this incident, Ye Fan wouldn’t stand by idly, as Lu Xiangxiang is also one of Ye Fan’s rare friends.
"What do you want
to do?" Ye Fan asked straightforwardly.
"Is the matter in Ba Country resolved?" Zhang Lu inquired.
"It’s all concluded; I was planning to leave." Ye Fan said calmly.
"In that case, I’ll get straight to the point. We have people in the jungles along the southwest border—the Southwest Military Region’s Longyin Team and the six-person group led by Chi Qinyuan have already gathered together, infiltrating the drug lord organization once unsuccessfully, losing three n. They are now awaiting orders. You are to go there and assu command, rescue the hostage. I’ll send your orders soon, and I’ll transmit the coordinates to you." Zhang Lu replied promptly.
"Alright!" Ye Fan responded flatly.
After simply bidding Nami and the others farewell, Ye Fan headed to the destination.
After so twists and turns, multiple vehicle transfers, and a long journey, Ye Fan arrived at the coordinated location by noon the next day.
Ye Fan made a grand appearance in front of a jungle sentinel without hiding his presence. Three heavily ard warriors surrounded him, demanding coldly, "Who goes there?"
"Take
to et your leader." Ye Fan said calmly and lightly.
The three warriors were polite; they knew a senior officer was being sent, so they were awaiting his arrival while guarding the periter. However, they were unaware of specific details and identity.
The three exchanged a glance, and one asked, "Are you the officer sent from above?"
"If that’s how you interpret it, then yes." Ye Fan replied.
A warrior, sowhat suspicious, asked, "If you’re really the officer sent from above, how could you let us surround you? If you can’t handle this small challenge, how can you lead us?"
Emitting an air of defiance, the warriors had guessed this was the officer but showed no respect. In the military, strength commands respect; idle talk elicits no reverence, no matter the rank.
"At three o’clock and six o’clock, there are two more. Do you want
to take you down before you’ll listen? You might desire punishnt, but I don’t have ti to argue with you." Ye Fan impatiently scolded, pointing to a soldier, "Especially you, reeking of smoke. That’s incredibly dangerous. If the enemy slls it and closes in, your stupidity will not only cost you but others their lives."
The soldier being reprimanded lowered his head, wanting to explain yet remaining silent, clearly realizing his mistake.
Ye Fan’s discovery of the nearby sentinels shocked the three warriors, who were initially sowhat skeptical now fully believed Ye Fan was indeed the officer from above.
"Lead the way." Ye Fan commanded firmly.
"Yes, sir." A warrior led the way, his voice as casual as greeting a stranger, lacking due respect and ceremony for a superior.
The other two warriors continued to lie in wait.
The warriors had no worries about false identity; if Ye Fan were an imposter, venturing deep into their territory would be suicidal, hence no hesitations.
Led by the warrior, Ye Fan entered the makeshift camp.
"Instructor!" Chi Qinyuan’s six-person team, all trainees during Ye Fan’s tenure as instructor, rushed to greet him, saluting respectfully.
"Instructor, you’re here. Zhang Lu told us you were coming; we didn’t believe it. You’ve truly co."
"That’s fantastic. With you here, the mission will be completed with ease."
Chi Qinyuan’s six crowded around Ye Fan, all faces beaming with joy.
Seeing their instructor, naturally, they were thrilled.
Any unhappiness between Ye Fan and Chi Qinyuan was set aside, Chi Qinyuan abandoned the resentnt, and Ye Fan hoped for such a scenario, lest Chi Qinyuan face bad consequences.
Ye Fan extended a simple greeting.
Chi Qinyuan shouted to Qin Yi, standing afar and uninterested in Ye Fan, "Captain Qin, aren’t you going to et the officer?"
Qin Yi, captain of the Longyin Team from the Southwest Military Region, joined the operation with thirty mbers, alongside Chi Qinyuan’s group—a formidable force.
mbers of the Longyin Team are all elite special forces, with extrely strong solo combat capabilities.
"Officer? Hmph!" Qin Yi glanced at Ye Fan, then disdainfully turned away.
Not only Qin Yi but other mbers of the Longyin Team were also resistant to Ye Fan.
"Instructor, don’t mind, the Longyin Team lost three mbers yesterday, their bodies still hanging from trees; Qin Yi aims for revenge. With ergency orders from above for you to lead the rescue mission, instructing the unit to await orders, Captain Qin Yi is resentful." Chi Qinyuan briefly explained the stakes.
Ye Fan gave Qin Yi a glimpse, dismissing any concern for the captain harboring resentnt.
