"…" Jiang Stops took a deep breath and asked, "What's the matter?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan only smiled and didn't say anything. Then, he raised his hand and threw the phone over. Jiang Stops caught it and saw that the call was in progress. The King Of Spades was on the other end of the line!
"… Hello?"
"Have you arrived at Yunzhong Village?" Wen Shao was as gentle as ever. "Are you cold?"
As long as the King Of Spades was sane, it was impossible for ordinary people to read his true emotions from his expression or tone — because he didn't have such a thing. One second, he could be talking happily, and the next moment, he would pull out a gun and pull the trigger. There wouldn't even be any warning, let alone a transition.
Jiang Stops said, "It's okay, it's not cold."
"Are you tired?"
"It's okay."
Wen Shao said, "Then come on up."
Jiang Stops' heart skipped a beat. "What?"
"I miss you." The person on the other end of the line paused for a moment and then said with a smile, "I want to show you something."
The trace of cold sweat on his back seemed to have disappeared and turned into an indescribable chill.
Jiang Stops' eyes flashed slightly, then he nodded and didn't say anything else. He handed the phone back to Qin Chuan. No one knew how much effort it took for him to keep his voice steady and calm.
"The boss asked me to go with you to the trading location."
Qin Chuan didn't care. "Come on up."

The Hummer climbed over a series of hills that were half the height of a person. Even the hood of the car was shaking from the bumps. Outside the car window, the sky was getting darker and darker. The rugged mountain rocks whizzed past the car window. Other than the roar of the car, there was only silence in the car.
The driver was a trusted aide appointed by the Aje. He was obviously well-trained. Other than occasionally confirming the route with Qin Chuan, he didn't say anything else. In the front passenger seat, Qin Chuan crossed his arms and looked straight ahead. He maintained this posture from the beginning to the end, and it was impossible to see any movement from his face.
Jiang Stops sat upright in the back seat like a stone statue. In the dim light, only one side of his pale face could be seen. On both sides of his body were bodyguards who were eyeing him covetously.
No one noticed that he was looking down at the watch of the bodyguard on the right. It had been almost an hour since he sent the route map to the command center.
Has the police successfully surrounded the transaction site?
Was Yan Ji, who had gone to the scene after arriving at Cloud Fortress, still following them from a distance?
"Don't move," the bodyguard on his right suddenly said.
Jiang Stops's raised hand stopped in mid-air and said calmly, "I just want to take that bottle of water."
The bodyguard took out the mineral water bottle behind the back of the passenger seat and unscrewed it. Jiang Stops reached out to take the bottle, but as soon as he moved, he was stopped by the other party. Then, the other party personally brought the bottle to Jiang Stops's mouth.
"… …"
The air froze inch by inch. In the rearview mirror, Qin Chuan's eyelids suddenly lifted.
Jiang Stops finally opened his mouth under this tense gaze. He was fed a few mouthfuls of water by the mouth of the bottle. He shook his head to indicate that he didn't want it.
Only then did the bodyguard release his hand, tighten the bottle cap, and put it back in its original place.
Under the bodyguard's gaze, Jiang Stops put his hands on his thighs and didn't raise them again. Even his fingers didn't move an inch.
In the rearview mirror, Qin Chuan retracted his gaze.
On both sides of the dirt road were the same mountain rocks and woods. The silence and violent bumps made the road seem endless. After an unknown amount of time, the car suddenly stopped with a loud bang.
Qin Chuan opened the car door and jumped out. He moved his shoulders vigorously and said loudly, "Hey! We're here! "
A few car horns sounded. Wang Pengfei's extended off-road vehicle fleet followed one after another and stopped not far away.
Jiang Stops was helped out of the car by the bodyguard. He looked up and saw that the place where they stopped was about halfway up the mountain. In front of him, behind the dense bushes, there were sporadic lights shining from above. It turned out to be a row of temporary factory buildings built along the mountain road!
