Before noon.
Xie Family's house.
The living room was quiet.
Dong Xuebing looked at Xie Guobang and asked. "Dad, is there really no way to resolve this through diplomatic channels?"
Xie Guobang nodded. "Lizhen had followed her relatives to become a Merican citizen. That's why it's hard."
Dong Xuebing asked. "What about through the legal process? They can't possibly put her under house arrest for the rest of her life. "
Xie Guojian interrupted, "When it comes to national interests, anything is possible. We have also prepared for the worst. I estimate that Lizhen will not be able to contact the outside world for five years. At least, we have to wait for the research results to be implemented. Moreover, it is not certain. It is not impossible to put Lizhen under house arrest for 50 years. That is why the higher-ups want to go to the M Nation to rescue her through other means. They have also ordered us to bring Comrade Zhong Lizhen back safely no matter the cost. I can't reveal this to you, but they are family, so it doesn't matter if I say it."
What?
No matter the cost?
Dong Xuebing's heart skipped a beat. This technology must not be simple for the military to issue such an order!
Xie Guojian looked at Dong Xuebing. "Xiao Bing, tell me the truth. How confident are you that you can bring your Aunt back safely if you go?"
Dong Xuebing replied helplessly. "Why don't you tell me the details first?"
Xie Guojian asked. "Which side do you want to know? What are the details? "
Dong Xuebing replied. "For example, the research facility where Aunt is being held. Is this information 100% reliable? It can't be anywhere else. "
Xie Guojian paused for a second. "The information only says the possibility is high."
Dong Xuebing blinked. "Do you have the map of the research facility?"
Xie Guojian replied. "The exact location of the research facility is confirmed." After some thought, he took out something from his bag, unfolded a piece of paper, and pointed at it. "It's here, but this is a top-secret document. You can read it, but don't tell anyone about it."
Dong Xuebing looked at the paper. It's a city in the west of Merican, and the research facility is located in a remote area. "That's all?"
"That's all."
"What about the internal map of the research facility?"
"We don't have it now."
"What about the military base?"
"This is an important research facility in Merican, and the military will definitely be stationed there. But the exact number of personnel … I am not sure."
"It's easy to go, as long as you have a tourist visa, but what about the return trip? If we save Auntie, how are we going to return? "
"Because it's something that can't be shown in public, and it involves the interests of both countries, we can only sneak back home by sea. The specific arrangements haven't been made yet."
I'm not sure.
I don't know.
The other one was also undecided.
Alright! It would be a wonder if he had any confidence in this situation!
Dong Xuebing replied bitterly. "I am not confident at all. Firstly, I do not know if Aunt is really there. Secondly, there are soldiers stationed there. Thirdly, I do not have a map of the area. Fourthly, the return route is too difficult and dangerous. I'm sorry, Second Uncle, Mum. I can't do anything."
"Oh …" Xie Guojian sighed. He is not surprised.
Dong Xuebing is telling the truth. Although he had not used his remaining time in the past few months and had saved up quite a lot, it is not invincible. Furthermore, even if he is fine, he is not going there to get some relics. He is going there to bring back a living person. If Huilan is controlled by the M Country, Dong Xuebing will rush over without hesitation. But this is Zhong Lizhen, and Dong Xuebing had not even met her before. He does not have any feelings for her and felt there is no need to take this risk. Even the military could not save Zhong Lizhen, and Dong Xuebing might not stand a chance if he goes there.
Xie Guojian knew this is too difficult and is almost impossible. But this is a serious matter, and he will not give up without asking Dong Xuebing. After all, Dong Xuebing had done too many amazing things in the past. Han Jing wanted to say something but stopped.
In the end, she did not say anything. "Never mind. Xuebing, I am too anxious recently, and your Aunt … Never mind. Even if you are confident, I will not let you risk your life. Ok … I will go and cook for you. It's lunchtime." Han Jing is feeling conflicted. She wants someone to save Zhong Lizhen, but if Dong Xuebing says he will go, she is afraid something might happen to Xiao Bing and will not agree.
"Let me help you." Dong Xuebing stood up.
Han Jing forced a smile. "It's fine. I can do it alone. You can accompany your Dad for a chat."
Suddenly, Han Jing's phone rang.
"Huilan?" Han Jing answered. "Hello, daughter." Xie Huilan asked calmly.
Xie Huilan replied calmly. "Aunt is being controlled by the M Nation?"
Han Jing sighed. "You are well-informed. I had not told you about this. We had lost contact with your Aunt two months ago, and your Second Uncle is trying to think of a way to save her."
"What is he thinking of?"
"… I have not thought of anything."
"I heard Xiao Bing had gone over. Don't tell me you all want my man to go to America to save her? " Han Jing hesitated for a while and was about to say something. But Xie Huilan sensed something from Han Jing's tone. She asked coldly. "Is my Second Uncle there?"
Han Jing nodded. "Yes."
"Pass the phone to him!" Xie Huilan said.
Han Jing looks at Xie Guojian and waved her phone. "Huilan is looking for you."
Xie Guojian smiled. "Sister-in-law, just tell him I am not around." Xie Guobang was right. Xie Huilan's temper is bad, and everyone in the family knows about it. If she knows Xie Guojian asked Dong Xuebing to risk his life, she will fall out with him. That's why Xie Guojian doesn't want to answer this call. Furthermore, Dong Xuebing's safety is not guaranteed, and he and Han Jing will not agree to let Dong Xuebing go.
Han Jing replied. "Huilan is smart, and you can't fool her."
Xie Guojian had a headache and answered the call. "Hello, Huilan. Why are you looking for your Second Uncle? We are about to have lunch. Let's talk after lunch. "
Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes. "Second Uncle, I heard you want my man to go to America to die? Am I right? "
Xie Guojian immediately replied. "It's not me. The higher-ups asked me to ask you. You should know Xiao Bing had reported this to the military, and I am just asking."
"What did my man say?"
"Him? He said he cannot go and is not confident. "
"Ok. What did you say to him?"
"What else can I say? I don't want Xiao Bing to go. This trip is a bit risky, and I am only asking to hear Xiao Bing's advice. You should know your husband's capabilities. But since Xiao Bing doesn't have any ideas, then forget it. Unless Xiao Bing is 100% confident, I will not agree to him going. What kind of person do you think your Second Uncle is? You can ask the higher-ups to contact them. They will not send your man to America. Everyone in the higher-ups knows he is from the Xie Family. "
"Ok. Alright."
"Don't worry."
"But there's something I have to say first, Second Uncle. I know you've liked my aunt since you were young, and you've always been thinking about Comrade Lizhen …"
Xie Guojian stared at Xie Huilan. "Stupid girl! What nonsense are you talking about?! "
Xie Huilan laughed. "You should know if I am talking nonsense or not. Everyone in the family knows about this. Oh, only my Second Aunt is kept in the dark. "
Xie Guojian shouted angrily. "Stop being so rude!"
Dong Xuebing and Han Jing were standing close to Xie Guojian and could hear the conversation.
Dong Xuebing was speechless. No wonder Second Uncle is so concerned about this. There is such a thing.
Han Jing is also angry. Her daughter dares to say anything. But she also pretended not to hear anything because of Xie Guojian.
Xie Huilan walked further away with the phone.
Xie Huilan laughed coldly. "Second Uncle, I don't dare to be rude to you. Anyway, I will say this first. If anyone dares to ask my man to take risks and do things he doesn't want to do, then don't blame me. You know what kind of person I am, and I will do what I say. Haha … Actually, I am not angry with you, and I am just saying this. My child is about to be born, and if something happens to my child's father, what will happen to me and my mother? Am I right? That's why I must stay close to my man. "
Xie Guojian blew his beard and glared. He was still very angry.
After a while, Xie Guojian said a few more words and passed the phone to Dong Xuebing. "Your wife is looking for you."
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat and answered. "Huilan." Dong Xuebing is touched by Huilan's concern for him. Sigh … his wife is the best.
Xie Huilan replied slowly. "I heard from Uncle that you had gone to the Ministry of Finance to settle some matters. You will be resting in Beijing for a few days before returning to Zhen Shui County."
"Yes, I know."
"Don't bother with my Second Uncle, understand?"
"I understand. I know what to do."
"That's settled then."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing returned the phone to Han Jing.
Han Jing pretended not to know and asked Xie Guojian. "What did Huilan say?"
Xie Guojian snorted angrily, "You scolded me! This damned girl! He had doted on her for nothing! You don't know right from wrong! "
Dong Xuebing quickly said. "Second Uncle, don't mind her. She has a bad temper, and she is angry at me every day. I will scold her when we get back!"
Han Jing added. "That's right, Guojian. Don't be angry with her."
Xie Guojian kept quiet for a while and sighed. "Huilan is right. I am too worried about Li Zhen's safety. Xiao Bing, I did not force you to go to Zhen Shui County today. I know this is too difficult, but I can't let go of this thought. If I had made you feel uncomfortable, I will apologize to you."
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "I don't think I can accept your apology. It's fine."
