Chapter 29 - Mission (1/2)
When they got home, they saw a man waiting for them in front of their house. Lei Zhao raised his brows when he saw the person standing there.
”Ye Xing?” Lei Zhao asked with uncertainty. Lei Zhao remembers that he was on a mission so why was he back, looking like a living corpse?
Yan Mei looked at the man and frowned slightly. He was good looking, he had dirty blond hair that was styled yet wavy. His jawline was sharp, and his nose was slightly upturned. His lips were full and surrounded by a stubble of his beard. His eyes were bloodshot, his skin paler and his brows were furrowed with fatigue. He looked familiar but she couldn't remember where she has seen him before.
”Lei Zhao.” Ye Xing whispered with a sigh of relief.
”What are you doing here?” Lei Zhao asked as he turned to glance at Yan Mei.
”We need to talk..” Ye Xing trailed off when he saw Yan Mei behind Lei Zhao. He was anxious when he saw Lei Zhao that he didn't notice the woman behind him. 'Wait, isn't this woman, the same woman they saved the other day?'
”Is this a bad time?” Ye Xing asked as he stared at Yan Mei.
Lei Zhao pulled Yan Mei into his arms and introduced them.
”Wifey, this is Ye Xing my assistant” Ye Xing widened his eyes when he heard Lei Zhao. 'Wifey?!”
”Ye Xing, this is Yan Mei, my wife.”
”Wife?” Ye Xing asked with a shocked look on his face. When did Lei Zhao get married? Didn't he just meet this woman about a month ago?
”Yes.” Lei Zhao answered.
Ye Xing swallowed the lump in his throat and turned to look to Yan Mei.
”Nice to meet you, young miss.” Yan Mei nodded slightly. Ye Xing knew that she was a cold person from his investigation last time so he wasn't offended.
”Let us go inside.” Lei Zhao's voice sounded breaking the stiff atmosphere.
Once inside, Lei Zhao led Ye Xing to his study, while Yan Mei sat in the living room watching television.
”I thought you were on a mission what happened?” Lei Zhao asked as he stared at him.
He stood up from the chair and knelt in front of Lei Zhao.
”I'm sorry boss, I failed the mission. We got besiged by the enemy. It seems someone leaked our entire plan to them. They knew all our moves and where we were hiding. We suffered from a deadly sneak attack from them.”
Lei Zhao clasped his hands together as he listened to him.
”How many people did you take for this mission.”
”Reporting, thirty people participated in this mission. Ten dead, five disfigured and the rest were badly injured. They're barely responding to treatment.”
Ye Xing felt a shiver along his spine. The temperature in the room decrease as a Lei Zhao's whole temparement changed. He looked like a wounded lion now.
Ye Xing knew Lei Zhao was angry. He loved all the people in the team as his family so he was angry they got hurt. He really hates betrayal, he has seen how ruthless Lei Zhao punish those who betrayed him.
”Have you found the mole yet?” He asked coldly.
