Jiang Stops struggled violently, but Wen Shao pushed him against the tree faster and harder. At the same time, he reached out and touched the inside of Jiang Stops' right ear. He couldn't help but let out a soft, "Hmm?"
— — There was nothing inside his ear.
He pinched his left ear and quickly tore off Yan Ji's dark gray cashmere scarf. He threw it down the hill mercilessly. The cold wind made Jiang Ting shiver in an instant. Wen Shao ignored the resistance and reached into the inside of Jiang Ting's lapel. He touched along the neck, but it was empty and he felt nothing.
How was this possible?
In the command vehicle, Yan Ji faced the piercing gaze of all the leaders in the vehicle and calmly said, "Nothing."
"… Nothing?" Deputy Bureau Chief Wei couldn't help but ask, "Weren't you always connected to Captain Jiang's channel? What do you mean nothing?!"
"We've already cut off contact."
Not only Deputy Bureau Chief Wei, but also Yu Dui, Director Chen, Director Lu, and the others almost stood up. "What?!"
Three hours ago, at Chess Peak —
Wang Pengfei's convoy gradually appeared at the end of the mountain road. Jiang Stops stood alone on a rocky cliff with one hand pressed on his earpiece. Amidst the raging wind and static, he could hear Yan Ji carefully instructing him, "After we arrive at Cloud Fortress, if something goes wrong or if you feel that you're in danger, find a way to destroy or bury your communicator. The command center will send a group of people to infiltrate Cloud Fortress to search for you. No matter what happens, I'll come to you. Do you understand?"
The roar of the engine approached from afar. Jiang Stops said, "Understood. I'll wait for you."
Then, he pushed his hair to the point where it covered the tip of his ear and walked in the direction of the convoy.
Two hours ago, at Cloud Fortress —
Qin Chuan was distracted by Lao Cai. As soon as he turned around, he saw Jiang Stops leaning close to his ear. At the same time, Jiang Stops raised his hand to cover half of his face. "Wen Shao had someone transfer some money to Lao Cai, so he'll advise Wang Pengfei to behave …"
No matter how one looked at it, Jiang Stops raised his left hand to cover his mouth to prevent others from eavesdropping.
But what no one noticed was that at the same time, his ring finger gently brushed the inner side of his ear, and secretly removed the button communicator.
"Just don't be alone with that Wang guy on the way, in case he causes trouble …"
Qin Chuan leaned back exaggeratedly. He didn't see Jiang Stops's ring finger sweep across the corner of his mouth as if he was holding something with the tip of his teeth.
"I say, Captain Jiang, please be magnanimous. I still want to live for a few more years, please let me live …"
Jiang Stops stood in place with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't seem to understand the meaning of Qin Chuan's sincere teasing. Two steps away, a bodyguard was staring at Jiang Stops warily, but he didn't notice that Jiang Stops had swallowed the button.
…
"You suspect that I'm communicating with the police?" Jiang Stops turned his head. His eyes seemed to be burning with anger. "Where's the evidence? What did I do? Or are you just looking for trouble with me?! "
This suppressive posture made Wen Shao look down on him even more. When he looked at him from top to bottom, there was even a hint of coldness and inquiry.
But then, that fierceness turned into a frightening gentleness bit by bit.
"I don't need any evidence, Jiang Stops." He said regretfully, "Just like you know me, I know you too."
Jiang Stops's eyebrows twitched violently, but it was too late. Wen Shao's hand fell down and hit Jiang Stops precisely on the back of his neck. Jiang Stops only saw darkness in front of his eyes.
"You once said that was the happiest and most anticipated day of your life." Wen Shao leaned close to his cold ear and whispered, "I'm sorry to have made you wait for so many years. It'll be fine soon."
The blood-like setting sun melted the vault of heaven. Two children were barefooted beside a small stream. The evening breeze carried a clear laughter straight into the clouds, reflecting the sparkling morning star.
"Why are you always so happy?"
"No!"
"But you look very happy."
"That's because I can see you!" The little boy splashed a handful of water and giggled as his friends dodged. "After I met you, every day was the happiest day of my life!"
It's not like that, it's not at all —
Jiang Stops's consciousness quickly disappeared. He tried to reach out to the little boy who was playing happily in the void, but he missed by a hair's breadth.
The next moment, he closed his eyes and fell into the dark abyss.
