Chapter 70

Just after the plane landed, Singhota was pulled away by the ambulance waiting at the airport.

Qing Li wanted to follow her, but Yue Zhi pulled her hand and softly said, “Go back and rest and relax, it’s useless for you to go, the woodpecker will be watching.”

She looked at Yue Zhi have a glance, obediently on the helicopter, back to the manor.

After entering the gate, she went upstairs to her room.

Yue Zhi looked at her back, his brows frowned dead tight, more serious than being back-stabbed by government troops, “Did something happen while I was away?”

The others are living in the base, his question can only be answered by Liang Jin and Xiji who are present, but the two of them looked at each other and said nothing.

“Nothing happened, just hungry for a day, what can happen.” Xiji thought about it, in the tent when he did not get close to Qing Li and Xin Gota, “do a full set of drama, can not let people eat and drink to serve us.”

Liang Jin thought of Qing Li’s words at that time, but in the end he didn’t say it, “It should be because of worrying about Singota, she’s quite self-condemning, and the Aluminum Thermite. □□ thing also seems to have left her with quite a shadow.”

Yue Zhi was sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs, his eyes were cold, looking at his palm with a calm expression, on the middle finger of his left hand was his and Qing Li’s engagement ring, “She doesn’t need to worry about irrelevant people at all, no matter if it’s Singo Ta or the people in that village, it’s the same.”

Liang Jin wanted to say that Qing Li didn’t feel the same way, until now, she hadn’t been able to see human life as an irrelevant one, even if it was a stranger, let alone the fact that Singota was still her friend.

But in the end, he did not say anything, for him, he watched Yue Zhi have step by step up to this peak position now, as a person in power and superior, actually do not need to think too much about the thoughts of the other people, Qing Li is already the exception of the exception.

Qing Li was exhausted, both physically and mentally, on the verge of death.

She thought she couldn’t sleep, but as soon as she laid down on the bed, she lost consciousness, and then began to dream frantically.

In her dream, she seemed to be at her wedding with Yue Zhi, looking down she could see herself wearing a white saree, and Yue Zhi was standing across the room, quietly looking at her.

She wanted to speak to him, wanted to hiss, wanted to vent, but with her mouth wide open she couldn’t make any sound, and even breathing was difficult.

The fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the flames rose in all directions, she watched as her white sarong was set on fire, tongues of fire licked at her skin, the pain caused her to burst into tears, tearing her heart apart, she wanted to run away, but Yue Zhi suddenly pressed in closer, grabbing her, so that she couldn’t move, and could only be hardened by the searing fire.

She watched as she turned into black and red charcoal, almost going up in smoke, and Yue Zhi just watched coldly, indifferent.

Her eyes abruptly opened, she quietly looked out the window at the already dark sky, and touched her face, dry.

Aonashi sat up from the bed and took out her cell phone, calling the video to Woodpecker, who quickly picked up.

“How’s Singoita?”

Woodpecker’s expression was tired, “The wound was infected with severe corruption, went to the operating room for debridement and re-sewing, and has been sent to the ICU, all his organs are starting to fail, now he can only listen to God’s will.”

“Got it.” Aonashi nodded and hung up the phone.

She took out what she needed from her luggage and put it into her pants pocket and went downstairs.

It was already past nine in the evening, she had slept for seven hours, dinner time was long past, and Yue still had a bunch of things that needed to be put right, but she was unsurprised to see Yue Zhi, who was working on his laptop, on the sofa in the living room.

Every time it was like this, he would always be on guard by her side, as if the company, the career were not as important as her, gentle enough to make her fall step by step.

Yue Zhi raised his head and smiled when he saw her, “Woke up from your nap?”

“Uh-huh.” Qingli nodded and sat on the sofa opposite him.

Yue Zhi felt that there was something wrong with her, because normally at times like this, she would sit beside him.

“Where are Xiji and Liang Jin?” Qing Li asked.

“Went to the base to deposit and count the weapons, they should be back soon.” Yue Zhi closed his notebook and prepared to pull her to sit in front of him, just as his words fell, Xiji and Liang Jin returned.

“Awake?” Xiji casually greeted Qingli.

Qing Li looked at him, her gaze fleeting, cold and calm, “I was waiting for you.”

Xiji froze, glancing at Yue Zhi whose face did not look worried, retracting his feet that were ready to go upstairs, turning over and sitting on the sofa, “Waiting for me? Something’s wrong.”

Qing Li nodded and pulled out a tiny thing from his pants pocket and placed it on the coffee table, it was a warhead.

Yue Zhi and Liang Jin were both a little unsure, but Xiji’s face changed, his originally hangdog expression instantly grim.

“This is the bullet taken out from inside Singhota’s leg, 5.56mm caliber.” Qing Li looked at the bullet and said, “We brought an average of three guns per person that day, and Xiji, as a sniper, had a 12.7 caliber □□□ M82 sniper as his main gun. Rifle, and to improve accuracy, the secondary gun was a Colt manufactured, 5.56 small caliber assault rifle, the only 5.56 caliber weapon in all of our weapons that day.”

She spoke plainly, as if she was explaining some common sense, her gray eyes had slightly raised tails, looking cold and quiet.

However, the aura around Yue Zhi’s body became cold with his every word, the expression on his face disappeared, his eyes scratched from that bullet and landed on Qing Li’s face, he even pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled a little, “What do you want to say?”

Qing Li looked back at him, there was a time when her cool eyes were full of emotion every time she looked at him, but now they were empty, “Xiji said that the church was blown up and collapsed, and he was buried underneath, when I went over there, he should have just climbed out, but I didn’t meet him, and he wasn’t even there when I passed by the ruins of the church and met up with you, and he wasn’t even there when we left that place to move outward and gather with the the rest of the team, he wasn’t there either.”

She looked to West Pole, “Where were you, you had five grenades with you and they were all used up by the time I saw you, where did you use them?”

Saiji wrapped his arms around his head and locked eyes with Aonashi for a few seconds, letting out a puff of air through his nostrils, broken and very impatient, “Threw them all at Singo Towers. The bullets were mine, I aimed for his thighs and watched him shift his position and get inside before throwing all five grenades on the roof of that house, and to be honest, I’m surprised he’s alive.”

After saying that he had a somewhat chagrined expression, “Damn, I really should have just used a sniper rifle from the start, one shot to his thighs would have blossomed, even if I didn’t use a grenade, when you and Mongoma went over there, just the blood alone could have dripped him to death, and it wouldn’t have been that much of a problem.”

Green Pear looked at his unimpressed expression, her ears roaring as if someone had thrown a sonic boom bomb around her, and not only were her ears ringing, but it seemed that even the kernels of her brain were being jolted and she was getting dizzy.

She did not understand, if the people in that village are strangers, life and death does not matter, but …… “Singota is a teammate is not it, he came to the base for six years, why are you doing this?”

This sentence, Qing Li is looking at Yue Zhi asked, she knows that the hands are the West pole, but the order is given by Yue Zhi.

Yue Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at the ring on his hand, “You two go back first.”

Xiji shrugged his shoulders and pulled Liang Jin, who wanted to speak, upstairs, he was only carrying out the order, the rest had nothing to do with him.

The large living room was quiet, all the lights were on, bright as day, even able to make out the gray irises of Qing Li, but unable to illuminate the gulf and barrier between the two.

“In February of this year, Singhota rented an apartment in Singapore under a false name, and in the nearly half a year since then until now, your and his scheduled vacations have highly overlapped, and you have been in and out of that apartment together on multiple occasions, but you have never reported it to me.” Yue Zhi said as he looked at Qing Li.

Bewilderment flashed across Qing Li’s numb face as she murmured in a low voice, “You suspected that I had something with him yes, that I had an affair with him and betrayed you? Then why don’t you just kill me together? You’ve had people investigating so carefully, you’ve been following me for I don’t know how long, and if you’re so capable, why don’t you go into that apartment and take a look around and see what’s really in there?”

“Singota is very perceptive, if I let someone in, even if it’s the West Pole, he will definitely notice, I don’t want to spook the snakes.” Yue Zhi elegantly changed his posture and took out such a cigar, “Understand? It’s not that I don’t want to figure it out, I’m giving you the chance to confess to me, what exactly are you doing with him?”

Qing Li laughed softly, a smile that didn’t reach her eyes, as if it was a twitch of nerves, “Giving me a chance? Give me a chance when I’ll be caught with Singhota by you . Rape . In bed?”

She looked at Yue Zhi, suddenly feeling cold around her body, a big hole in her heart, the wind whistling into it, she once again realized what a terrible person this man in front of her was.

Half a year, almost six months, he suspected that she was having an affair with another man, yet he was still able to gently play the perfect lover every day, wrapping his arms around her at night in a lingering and loving manner, and then plotting to take the opportunity of this mission to get rid of the man who had been tainted with her.

He didn’t even show the slightest hint of a break.

“Why are you doing this to me? You’re going to kill Singota just because you suspect?” Qing Li asked him, “Why don’t you come and ask me, just ask me what the hell I’m doing, what secrets are hidden in that apartment, I’ll hide them from you, but I won’t lie to you, I’ll tell you anything if you ask, why don’t you come and ask me first?”

“This is just one of the reasons, for me, no matter if you and Singhota are tainted or not, it won’t change my plans and decisions.” Yue Zhi lit his cigar and inhaled deeply, his elegant and handsome face became blurred in the smoke, with laugh lines, and eyes with classical fan-shaped eyelids that were cold and unfamiliar.

“What?” Aonashi couldn’t believe her ears.

“From the beginning, the fact that you got close to him and had a secret behind my back was enough for me to kill him.” Yue Zhi was too good at reading people’s hearts, not a single person could see what was going on in Singhota’s mind, but not including him, even Singhota had never even taken the initiative to look for Qing Li, and having feelings for his woman that he shouldn’t have was enough to be killed a million times over.

Qing Li quietly sat in front of Yue Zhi, her gray eyes looked like they were covered with a layer of dust, godless and dead, she looked across the room, but did not look at Yue Zhi, and did not know where she was looking, and did not say a word.

Yue Zhi smoked a cigar and looked at her, in the past two days because of her attitude and the little bit of anxiety and anxiety instantly disappeared.

Sure enough, he shouldn’t have played the role of a gentle lover, the windowpaper was pierced, his true need not be hidden anymore, instead, it made him comfortable and down-to-earth, whatever he did in the future, he didn’t have to worry about poking that bit of fantasy in Qingli’s heart, with this lesson, she should know what she should do and what she shouldn’t do in the future.

“Alright, Ah Li, I told you when Yu He Mei died, don’t fight and get angry with me over irrelevant people, I don’t like it.” Yue Zhi smiled lightly and got up, coming to Qing Li’s side, taking her into his arms, “Xin Ge Ta didn’t die did he, think of it as a punishment, don’t worry, I won’t make a move on him again.”

Aonashi sat upright, bundled into his arms, and only somewhat snapped back to her senses when she heard Singota’s name, rambling, “Didn’t you ask me what was in that apartment? I’ll tell you, there’s a bugging device that I asked Singhota to get for me, I’m bugging Qi Yuyu because I know that she goes to see Li Chaoke every week, so I’m thinking if I can get clues from her conversations with Li Chaoke to help you get rid of Li Chaoke.”

Yue Zhi looked down at her and frowned, this answer was indeed a bit out of his expectation, he didn’t expect Qing Li to actually take the initiative to provoke Qi Yuyu and Li Chaoke.

Qing Li looked up at him, her face that had been dead silent finally had some emotion, disappointed and pained, her eyes reddened, but not a single tear fell out.

“Because I don’t want you to be threatened and used by Li Chaoke again, I want to get rid of him and give you true freedom.”
