Chapter 530 - For Salvation (1/2)

Chapter 530: For Salvation

Long Yuehong suddenly felt a little nervous upon seeing that the general’s residence wasn’t far away. “What if General Phocas suddenly turns hostile?”

After informing Phocas of the information obtained from Avia and bringing the captive to the other party’s house, the Old Task Force didn’t seem to be of any value. In such a situation, be it silencing them or reneging on his promise, there was a possibility of Phocas turning hostile so as to eliminate any latent dangers.

With the Old Task Force’s current strength and condition, it was very difficult for them to fight Phocas on his home ground. They couldn’t entrust their safety to his conscience.

Jiang Baimian had long considered this problem. She nodded and turned to Shang Jianyao. “Get out of the car later and find a place to hide; converge your consciousness. If we aren’t able to leave, find an opportunity to escape after half an hour. In the future, lead the company’s personnel to avenge us.”

Shang Jianyao was the only Awakened among the four Old Task Force members. He could hide his consciousness, preventing Phocas from sensing him.

No matter how well the others hid, they would be directly exposed due to their human consciousness.

Shang Jianyao didn’t act all corny. “Alright.”

He then raised a question. “Which song do you want to hear when the time comes?”

Jiang Baimian rolled her eyes at him. “You rarely show your illness during serious times or make such jokes.”

She then smiled. “Because you’re too worried?”

Shang Jianyao fell silent.

Whoa, you have such a side… Long Yuehong mimicked his team leader’s tone inwardly. This comforted him greatly, and he felt that he hadn’t made a mistake considering Shang Jianyao a friend. Even if he kept suffering ridicule, he believed that Shang Jianyao was doing this with good intentions or purely joking.

At this moment, Bai Chen had already parked the car in a relatively quiet place where nobody came and went.

Shang Jianyao pushed open the side door with his uninjured right hand and alighted with his tactical backpack. After he straightened his body, he fell silent for two seconds before taking out a photo from his inner pocket.

“Help me ask if he has seen him.” Shang Jianyao handed the photo to Jiang Baimian.

Jiang Baimian had previously seen this photo and knew that the gentleman in his thirties was Shang Jianyao’s long-lost father.

She didn’t ask further; she simply shut her mouth and nodded.

After Shang Jianyao disappeared by the roadside and climbed up some tree, Bai Chen started the jeep again and casually said, “I thought Hey would say: ‘I will rush in to save you if you don’t come out in half an hour.’”

Jiang Baimian smiled. “He knows very well that he will definitely be captured if he’s doing it alone. In comparison, it’s better to go straight to Madam Kanna and contact the company. At a time like this, choosing to rush in to die with everyone might result in a deep camaraderie among us, but it would appear too brainless. I don’t want to be unavenged for an aggrieved death.”

Bai Chen didn’t say anything else. She stared ahead and pretended to focus on driving.

Before long, the jeep arrived at the back door of the general’s residence.

Jiang Baimian raised the captive with one hand and said to Long Yuehong, who was wearing a military exoskeleton, “Stay here and guard the car. Little White and I will go in.”

“It’s better if it’s you and me,” Long Yuehong subconsciously suggested.

Jiang Baimian smiled at Bai Chen. “You need to persuade Little White, not me.”

Long Yuehong looked at Bai Chen—who was also wearing a military exoskeleton but had already pushed open the door and alighted. She walked to the back door of the general’s residence and showed no intention of negotiating with him.

He wisely shut his mouth.

Phocas had made arrangements. Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen led the captive through the ajar back door and entered an empty room on the first floor under the guidance of a silent attendant.

There were surveillance cameras installed and many sound receivers, but there was no sign of Phocas.

The silent attendant took out a military walkie-talkie and handed it to Jiang Baimian.
