This road was really too lousy. After being hit several times, she finally returned to the main road. This time, she slowed down and saw a familiar black car slowly driving over in the rearview mirror.
Lei Yichen looked at her in surprise. "How did you know …"
"Before Captain Feng and I went in that day, we first observed the ground lines and routes near the fish farm," Nian Xi said lightly. "In case we were discovered and could escape, this path was discovered at that time."
Lei Yichen immediately fell silent. He should have thought of this question.
However, he also admired her for being able to accurately find that path in such a dark place. It seemed that she was indeed capable to be able to sit in the position of captain at such a young age.
At this moment, the black car had already overtaken the two of them.
Lei Yichen said in a low voice, "So what if you catch up to them? We can't do anything now, or else we'll alert them. Captain Feng and the others have already brought people to Malucca to make preparations. They're just waiting for them to fall into the trap. If we do anything at this time and are discovered by them, they definitely won't meet tomorrow, and the leader behind them won't come out either. Everyone's efforts will be in vain, and they will also find out that there's a traitor inside.
Nian Xi's hand that was holding the steering wheel trembled.
She didn't say anything and just followed the car.
More than ten minutes later, the car drove into a seaside villa. The villa was surrounded by high walls and there was no way to enter.
Nian Xi parked the car outside. Lei Yichen grabbed her wrist. "Nian Xi, if you want to go, I can only handcuff you. The overall situation is more important."
Nian Xi looked back at him in a daze. Her eyes flickered with a deathly still light. "You don't have to handcuff me. I know. I won't go."
Lei Yichen was stunned. His thin lips pursed slightly. He didn't know what to say. "Nian Xi, don't think too much. Professor Jiang is such a smart person. Maybe he'll be fine."
"Maybe." Nian Xi leaned against the passenger seat, feeling indescribably tired and weak.
Her mind was filled with the words of the security guard at the door. They had even prepared the medicine. Jiang Yuning would probably faint after getting out of the car.
Thinking that the man she liked was about to be tainted by that woman, Nian Xi felt as if her heart had been repeatedly pinched and trampled on.
She couldn't breathe and it hurt.
But what could she do? She was a police officer. She couldn't rush in with her anger.
Moreover, there would definitely be people guarding inside. It wasn't something that she and Lei Yichen could face.
Besides, if he really acted rashly, the TOX organization's operation would definitely be canceled tomorrow. When that happened, Jiang Yuning's nearly three years of undercover work would be in vain.
She looked sadly at the brightly lit villa in front of her. For the first time, she felt so powerless.
"Do you have a cigarette?" Lei Yichen asked.
Lei Yichen was stunned for a few seconds. He took out one and handed it to her. Nian Xi lit it and took a puff. She choked.
She had never smoked before, and no one in her family smoked. She just wanted to have a try when she saw Jiang Yuning smoking.
She opened the car door and got out. She threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped on it a few times. Then, she leaned against the window and slowly slid down to the ground.
His eyes reddened.
Lei Yichen sighed softly, lit a cigarette, and sat next to her. "Five years ago, I went to Japan to investigate a money laundering case. It was at the critical juncture of arresting the criminal, but my wife gave birth to a child. At that time, I really wanted to go back to see her, but I couldn't do anything. For so many years, I was outside all year round, and I didn't see my wife and child a few times. Sometimes, I was really helpless, but there was nothing I could do. Who asked us to be police officers? We have a burden on our shoulders, just like that badge.
"But I'm glad that my wife and child never blamed me. When my child went to school and told the teacher about me, I was a role model in his heart. He was proud of me."
Nian Xi curved her lips into a smile, but her smile was uglier than crying.
He wouldn't blame her if she didn't go in.
But how would the two of them face each other in the future?
How could she pretend that nothing had happened, especially him? A person like him would definitely be scarred. She was heartbroken that he was going to be hurt.
Yuning, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
Nian Xi didn't know how she made it through the night. She sat on the ground without moving. She didn't even close her eyes.
She couldn't sleep, and she didn't dare to close her eyes, because once she did, she might remember what happened in that villa.
What was Jiang Yuning doing with that woman?
Was what they had done in the past going to happen to them?
It wasn't until dawn and the sun slowly rose in the sky that Nian Xi suddenly stood up. She found the tallest tree on the beach and climbed up. She used her binoculars to observe the movements in the villa.
At about eight o 'clock, Manda brought a few men in black into three cars. The cars drove out from the gate one after another and soon left.
She looked at the villa again. There was also a private beach inside. She thought for a moment and slid down from the tree.
Lei Yichen said, "They probably went to Malucca. I sent a message to Captain Feng to inform him."
Nian Xi nodded. "I want to go in from their private beach later. I've seen it. There are only five or six people left to guard it, and they're all in the courtyard and downstairs."
"Nian Xi …" Lei Yichen widened his eyes. "Wait for them to make a move. Besides, if you want to go over from their private beach, you can only sneak over from the sea behind. Do you know how dangerous it is?"
"I'm confident in my swimming skills. I won't let them discover me," Nian Xi said very firmly. "Even if they see me, I'll kill them first. I won't let them contact Manda. Don't worry, I'm only saying that because I'm confident."
Lei Yichen rubbed his forehead with a headache. "Go ahead. I'll snipe from the tree to cover you."
"Thank you." Nian Xi nodded. She had heard from Feng Jichuan that Lei Yichen was exceptionally good at sniping.
"You have to be careful yourself."
Nian Xi took out her diving suit and oxygen tank from the trunk. After changing her clothes, she dived straight into the sea to the back of the villa.
She had learned to dive last year. Actually, she used to be afraid of diving, but there were some things that she had to overcome. If she didn't overcome it, she wouldn't make progress.
It took her twenty minutes to sneak to the private beach of the villa.
There was a man lying on a chair on the beach looking at his phone.
Nian Xi took off her heavy diving suit and oxygen tank. She quickly climbed out of the sea and hid behind a palm tree.
That person did not notice her at all. She circled around the back of the forest to the side of the villa and used the water pipe to quickly climb up to the second floor. She entered from the window on the second floor and Nian Xi immediately found the direction of the master bedroom.
