Chapter 107: Secret operation
“Then tell what to do?! If Gao Jialan and her child are hard, we would be the sinners!”
Suyang closed the main door and took inside the bedroom. Then, he closed the bedroom door as well. He whispered, “Speak quietly. Most likely, Wen Yihan will have people monitoring us for awhile. There are ears behind walls.”
I felt utterly defeated by the power of the wealthy. I was so stressed and tired. I tightly tugged on Suyang’s collar. “Then what should we do? Suyang, tell . Give a solution.”
“First, give Shaoqian a call.” Suyang took out his cell phone.
“Why are we calling Shen Shaoqian?”
“Wen Yihan is not going to make a move that quickly. He is not going to bring Gao Jialan to his house. Most likely, he’s going to hide her sowhere. Shen Shaoqian can find out where Wen Yihan might be holding her hostage.”
“Shen Shaoqian has that ability?! I didn’t realize he was that useful....”
“He has a very wide network. Usually, I get him to do the investigative work.”
“So what happens after we figure out their location?”
“Then we go save her, duh!” Suyang knocked lightly on my head. “We will find an appropriate opportunity to rescue Gao Jialan and then hide her elsewhere. Then, when Wen Yihan cos to look for her, we just won’t admit to anything. What can he do then?”
“I have one more question. How are we going to save her? Based on Wen Yihan’s tactics... how can the two of us save her?”
“Don’t we also have Shen Shaoqian!?”
“Fine, let’s include Shen Shaoqian. Three people?! Do you think this is the ti to joke around?”
“A hundred people have hundreds of thods. Three people have thods for three people. We will figure out sothing. Don’t worry!”
Ahh... my head hurts. I wanted to drink so water to freshen up my brain. But the mont I turned around, Suyang assud I was going to run after them again. He shouted, “What are you doing?!”
I took a deep breath, “I just want to drink a cup of water. Calm down. Before I know where Wen Yihan is hiding Gao Jialan, I’m not going to make any rash moves.”
“Oh, alright then.” Suyang knew he had misunderstood so he shook his head and coughed. He wanted to dissolve the awkwardness, “Then.. I’ll go give Shen Shaoqian a call right now.”
When I turned towards the dining area, the first thing I noticed was the 600 RMB that Gao Jialan had initially wanted to give to allow her to stay here.
I felt so guilty. She gave money yet I wasn’t able to protect her.... Sigh. I gulped down the water and my brain felt more refreshed. But deep down, my heart was still in a disarray.
It was a feeling similar to a stranger stealing sothing you like in front of you. Yet, you were helpless and couldn’t do anything about it. There was so much resentnt and regret.
I prayed that Gao Jialan could hold on for awhile while we think of a way to save her...
Suddenly, Wen Yufan appeared in the living room. I was shocked, but more so, frightened. I dropped my cup of water as he gazed at .
I didn’t have the courage to face him. I didn’t know how to explain why I wasn’t able to protect Gao Jialan.
“Um... we’ll think of a solution to rescue her. Please don’t worry. Your child will be fine.” My voice was turning lighter and lighter. I was attempting to get closer to comfort him.
Strangely, Wen Yufan didn’t seem like he was afraid or suffering at all.
Was it because he had beca a ghost for too long? Ghosts tend to be expressionless, but his is too much.... Has he gotten to another level? An idiot?
No! Aside from being expressionless, he also looked a bit relieved? What the heck?! How could you look relieved when your wife and child might be in danger!?
“Hey! What’s with your expression! Your wife and child may be in danger!” I clapped my hand; wanting to wake Wen Yufan up.
Before I could interrogate him, Wen Yufan vanished.
“Don’t go!” I was left alone yelling in the living room. Suyang ca out with his phone in his hand.
“What happened? Who ca?”
“Wen Yufan! His expression is really weird... This will not do. We must save Gao Jialan and find out exactly what’s going on!”

We had set the operation day on Mid-Autumn festival. But the night beforehand, the guys were actually planning to go without . I caught them in the middle of the night while I was heading to get a drink of water.
The mont I opened the bedroom door, I saw Suyang and Shen Shaoqian in the living room doing sothing in the dark.
“What are you two doing?” They were so focused that they didn’t realize I was in front of them. My voice caught them off guard.
So suspicious...
I went to turn the lights on and noticed they were posing like dinosaurs. Suyang was sticking so black tape on Shen Shaoqian. What new ga have they invented now?
“Uh..how co you woke up....?” Suyang looked super guilty. It was obvious they were trying to do sothing behind my back.
As for Shen Shaoqian, he was staring at the ceiling; whistling.
I observed the two of them. They weren’t giving proper eye contact; their hands and feet were all over the place; and they were dressed completely black. Whichever direction you look at it, it was suspicious...
“I ca out to get so water. I didn’t expect you two to betray ... confess your cris now and I’ll go lenient on you! Why are you dressed like this? Where are you going?”
Shen Shaoqian suddenly acted like he was broadcasting gymnastics. He solemnly looked at , “The weather is great tonight. We have decided to go for a run.”
I turned to the clock in the living room. Who goes for a run at 10pm?
“If you keep making things up...I will........ Are you two secretly planning to rescue Gao Jialan while I was asleep?” I gave Suyang my intense killer glare. There was no reaction.
Fine! I’ll change to a weaker target!
I stared at Shen Shaoqian. As expected, he looked very uncomfortable. I could tell he was about to confess.
“This operation is a bit dangerous. We’ll only be gone for a bit. Wait for us at ho.” Suyang spoke up directly.
“I’m the reason why you guys are associated with Gao Jialan in the first place. How could you guys go rescue her without ? Wait! I’ll change now and co with you!”
I swiftly turned around to return to my room. But Suyang ran over and blocked my path, “There is no point of you going. If you co, Shen Shaoqian and I would be distracted because we’ll be concerned for your safety.”
So you think I’m a burden, eh?
I secretly chuckled and pretended to give in, “Alright...”
Then, I gestured Suyang to get closer. I had sothing I wanted to say.
He probably assud I wanted to warn him to be careful, so his guard was off. I tid myself perfectly and seized him by the arm, turned skillfully, crouched, and slamd his shoulder down.
*Bang* Before Suyang could react, he was already harshly dropped across the floor.
I wiped the fake dust off and gave Suyang a smug expression. He was so bewildered that he couldn’t keep his mouth closed.
He must be reevaluating his life and girlfriend right now!
*Clap clap clap* Shen Shaoqian was impressed. He instantly beca obedient and gave a smile. Then, he turned to Suyang, “We should bring Yixin with us. I think she can protect us!”
Suyang crawled up with difficulty as he lightly nodded.
“Yeah!” I gave them the victory sign and also copied them dressing all black.
“So parts of your clothes reflect off the lights....” When we were in the car, Shen Shaoqian handed the black tape that Suyang had used on him. “Use this and you’ll be fine.”
“Oh, I see. So earlier, you two were using the tape to get rid of the reflection...”
Shen Shaoqian sighed, “I bought these clothes online. It was supposed to co in all black. Yet, there was a white strip across it. I swear, you always get scamd if you buy from cheap sources! Fortunately, we’re smart enough to use the black tape to cover the white strip. Not bad, right?”
I smiled and didn’t respond.
“By the way, when did you learn how to flip people?” Suyang asked.
“That day after Gao Jialan was taken away, I looked on the internet and learned. I swore that next ti I see Wen Yihan, I would use it on him!”
Based on Suyang’s reaction, I didn’t put my learning in vain.
“Aside from this, are you capable of anything else?”
“Yup. I learnt a few simple thods. Most of them are specifically designed to target n.....” I poked my head in between the driver and the front passenger seat as I patted Shen Shaoqian and Suyang on the shoulder, “Would you two like to experint?”
“No no no!” Shen Shaoqian instantly rejected my offer. When we were at a red light, he gave Suyang a pitiful gaze, “Bro, take care from now on...”
“Drive your car....” Suyang rolled his eyes at Shaoqian and turned to look at . “When you had thrown across the ground, I felt a deep betrayal.”
“Psssh.. You dare to talk about betrayal? When I had opened the door and saw you and Shen Shaoqian in the living room, I felt more betrayed...You two are always doing things behind my back.” I muttered to show my displeasure.
I stared out the window and into the darkness, “Where are we going now? Honestly, you guys didn’t tell anything. Good job at keeping this operation so secretive!”
“Umm... my friend is a private detective. He found out that Wen Yihan had recently entered this villa. It is highly likely that Gao Jialan is locked inside.”
