“Oh.” Qiao Nan cleared her mind lest her father noticed anything amiss.

Fortunately, there was s.h.i.+ Qing with her.

Even though Qiao Nan seemed absent-minded, s.h.i.+ Qing could help cover up for her in front of Qiao Dongliang.

In the meantime, Zhai Sheng and the group that was with him were carrying out their missions near China border. They did not have an easy time. They had intended to intercept a group that was hiding at the border, but they seemed to have vanished. Zhai Sheng tried many other means, including working with the border guards, but they could not be found.

“Regiment commander, we just received news that some bodies were found in the forest to the east. It is highly likely that the bodies are the mercenaries that we are looking for,” Song Yin said hurriedly. These mercenaries were highly skilled. They were as good as the soldiers. They had obviously been through the strictest training that was in no way inferior to the training in the camp.

They had been after them for days, but they were not able to take them down. It was to their surprise that the group of people would vanish suddenly and it turned out that they were killed. “Regiment Commander Zhai, do you think they may have been silenced?” In other words, there were another group of people apart from these mercenaries.

“We could be certain about that.” Without the second group of people, these mercenaries would not have died. “But we have to wait until we see the bodies before we can make any judgments.”

Zhai Sheng and the soldiers followed the clues and found the bodies.

Zhai Sheng had fought with these people twice. He could tell straight away that they were the mercenaries they were looking for.

There were not many wounds on the bodies, but their carotid arteries seemed to have been severed, causing them to die due to excessive blood loss. “Search around carefully and see if there are any other clues on them.”

Even though the chances were slim, Zhai Sheng would not want to miss any clues.

Many people searched the bodies for clues, but nothing could be found.

As such, Zhai Sheng and the soldiers had no idea who the mastermind behind the mercenaries was and what illegal activities they intended to carry out in China. “Alright, let’s go back to discuss. Someone will be in charge here.”

“Yes, Regiment Commander Zhai!”

Zhai Sheng and the soldiers returned to the temporary rest area after a vain attempt to discuss what they should do next.

Zhai Sheng had to know the motive and significance of these mercenaries and he must find the people who killed the mercenaries. Otherwise, it would cause trouble in the future.

“Regiment Commander Zhai, it’s getting late. Should I buy meals for us?” Song Yin noticed that it was getting late and all the comrades were hungry.

“Sure,” Zhai Sheng replied without looking up. He did not have any appet.i.te, but he could not ask his comrades to go hungry with him.

Song Yin took the money and bought their meals at a restaurant.

Since they were at the border, there were a lot of foreigners. Some of the shops were, in fact, managed by foreigners. At times, they had to converse in simple English.

Among the people who carried out the mission with Zhai Sheng, apart from Zhai Sheng, who was fluent in English, Song Yin was the only person who knew simple English. Hence, he was usually tasked with buying meals for them.

After packing the meals, Song Yin pushed the trolley back to their rest area.
