After chatting with Su Bei for a long time, the little girl finally smiled from the bottom of her heart. Her tears turned into laughter, like a little angel, making people feel sweet in their hearts. Su Li did not appear from the beginning to the end of the video call. At most, he could only see her white jade-like hand.
Hanging up the video call, Su Li typed and asked him, "Are you in Jiangcheng or at home in Xi Province?"
"It's the New Year, naturally at home." Xiao Luo responded as he went down the stairs.
"Have you ever thought about quitting your job at Lo Fong and coming to Xia Hai to develop?" Su Li asked.
Xiao Luo was stunned. Quitting his job at Lo Fong?
After a little thought, he came back to his senses. His information was indeed that of an employee of Lo Fong. It seemed that Su Li had investigated him.
"Ding Dong ~"
The sound of receiving a new message sounded in WeChat. It was Su Li: "I hire you to be Su Bei's nominal father. You don't need to do anything. Just take care of Su Bei when I'm busy. The monthly salary is 50,000 yuan. In addition, I'll help you get a house.
Are you willing? "Xiao Luo was stunned. The monthly salary was 50,000 yuan, and she also helped him get a house. Sure enough, she was a superstar. No wonder Zhang Dashan said that this woman was from a wealthy family. Not everyone could give such high conditions.
"I'll think about it."
He typed back. He had originally planned to go to Xia Hai. If someone was willing to give him 50,000 yuan a month and also get a house, the work would not be too tiring. This was simply a pie in the sky. Although he was not short of money now, who would dislike having more money? Moreover, he had an inexplicable love for Su Bei. He really couldn't use words to describe this feeling. It was very intimate.
"100,000 yuan a month!" Su Li directly doubled the salary.
Xiao Luo's eyes widened slightly. Was she going to throw money at him?
"200,000 yuan." Seeing that he did not respond, Su Li continued to double.
Xiao Luo quickly replied: "Okay, I agree."
He had no choice but to agree. This woman was too bold. He had no reason to reject her offer of 200,000 yuan.
"When can you come?" Su Li continued to ask.
"I'm not sure yet. I'll contact you when I reach Xia Hai."
"Alright."
In the end, he ended their conversation with one word.
At this time, Ji Siying suddenly walked to the stairs to answer the phone.
"Hey, Lin Dong, what's wrong? What's the matter? "
"Miss Ji, we found traces of the Cobra mercenary group."
"Hmm?"
Ji Siying furrowed her brows and looked up at Xiao Luo. Xiao Luo also heard it. He put his phone back into his pocket and stopped in his tracks.
"Where is it?" Ji Siying asked quickly.
Lin Dong was the leader of the twenty C-class soldiers assigned to the farm. He had been secretly patrolling the area near the farm and Luo Mountain.
"In the forest of Luo Mountain, coordinates 0600. All eight people are there. They have lit a bonfire and are eating prepared food. You and Mr. Xiao Luo should hurry over."
"Mm, okay!"
Ji Siying hung up the phone and turned to look at Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo frowned. He always felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was for a while.
In the dark and gloomy forest of Luo Mountain, Lin Dong, who had hung up the phone, slowly twisted his cheeks under the illumination of the fire. The external and internal pain almost made him faint. His voice was hoarse and trembling: "Kill me, give me a quick death!"
"As you wish!"
A burly man in front of him sneered coldly and spoke in fluent Chinese. A fierce arc of a combat knife rotated and slashed across Lin Dong's throat. Lin Dong's broken body fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Two hours ago, Lin Dong and his teammates were enjoying the joy of New Year's Eve and drinking a little wine, but they were attacked by the Cobra mercenary group. Nineteen of his companions were quietly killed, and he was also captured alive.
In the past two hours, he had been tortured. His fingernails had been picked off, his wounds were covered with salt, and the flesh on his legs had long disappeared, leaving only a pale white skeleton. His eyes were also pierced blind, and his entire body was covered with pustules that had been roasted by the fire.
He was tortured to the point where he didn't look like a human or a ghost. Such tragic torture had already broken down his psychological defense. He compromised and obeyed … just in exchange for a quick death.
The big man who killed Lin Dong had a thick beard and wore camouflage clothes without any national emblem. He ordered his seven companions who were sitting around the bonfire eating roasted wild boar meat in English: "The target is about to appear, prepare for battle!"
Hearing this, the seven people swallowed the rest of the barbecued meat in one gulp. Then, they picked up their weapons and spread out in all directions of the forest like ghosts. Using the cover of the night and the forest, they hid like a big net, waiting for their prey to come to them.
… …
… …
Under the cover of the night, Xiao Luo and Ji Siying came to the foot of Luo Mountain. This time they came to deal with the mercenaries. Both of them changed into night clothes and slowly sneaked towards Luo Mountain. There was no light source.
Like a crescent moon hanging in the sky, its light obviously couldn't illuminate the world. The thick darkness was the mainstream. The temperature was very low, the weather was very cold, and the breath turned into fog. The mountain forest was dead silent. Occasionally, one or two unknown birds could be heard, as well as the sound of running water in the mountains.
"Look, there's a fire!"
Ji Siying was the first to see the faint light halfway up the mountain. She was about to rush forward when Xiao Luo stopped her.
"What's wrong?" She looked back and asked puzzledly.
"The situation is not quite right."
Xiao Luo's eyes showed a bit of dignity. "Lighting a bonfire is a big taboo. It's easy to expose yourself. Mercenaries of this level are unlikely to make such a low-level mistake when performing a task."
"But Lin Dong said …"
"Now contact him again." Xiao Luo said.
Ji Siying nodded and took out her communicator. She tried to contact Lin Dong, but it didn't connect: "It's off."
"It's off?"
Xiao Luo thoughtfully said, "They're in trouble."
"Maybe they're afraid of being exposed, so they turned off their communicator." Ji Siying guessed.
"No, Lin Dong's voice was a bit strange when we were talking. He seemed to be trying to suppress a … pain." Xiao Luo said.
Ji Siying thought about it carefully. It was true. Lin Dong's voice was a bit different from usual.
"Then should we go up or not?"
"Don't worry, let me think about it first!"
Xiao Luo touched his chin and fell into deep thought. This was definitely a trap waiting for him. Once he was exposed, the sniper rifle's bullets would instantly turn him into a meat sieve.
He looked at Ji Siying's backpack: "You seem to have a flare?"
"Yes." Ji Siying nodded.
That's easy!
Xiao Luo pointed to the opposite hilltop and said, "Go to that hilltop and release a flare in the air. After releasing one, move to that vantage point and continue to release another one. Finally, go to that position again and release another flare in the air."
