V4C92 – Shock (1/2)

Edited by: Supreme Doge

They were just two mercenaries working for their boss for money. Besides, they hadn’t been the least bit impolite to my wife, not doing anything uncivilized to her, otherwise, it was impossible that I would be so benevolent.

If something had happened to Meng QingQing, then the two would have suffered hell in this world.

“We can’t lead you to our boss; we have our rules and bottom line as well. Although you are very strong and we are very frightened by your strength, we still have our principles, so please don’t make things difficult for us! If you are going to force us, then it’s better that you just kill us!” Tom looked towards me and said with all seriousness.

Jerry also nodded, completely approving of Tom’s words. Bringing the enemy back to their hideout was the same as giving a slap in the face to their principles.

I nodded in appreciation. It seems that the two of them are very loyal to their organization. Since I am not a madman who kills for fun and I don’t have any deep hatred with them either, so I said, “I will not kill the two of you! You guys… you are really great-spirited, but I wonder if your boss has the same principles as you?”

When it came to their boss, Tom and Jerry were very proud and raised their heads, adoration overflowing from their expression, “Lieutenant Colonel is a very great person!” {TL Note: Only now did I remember Tom and Jerry. Now I feel old.}

I had known from their mind a moment ago that their boss is called Lieutenant Colonel Jake. He was the chief of the army who formed a mercenary group after retiring. Colonel was just a polite name because the local government wouldn’t give Jake any military rank.

“Did you sneak over to the country?” I suddenly asked.

“It’s no secret. We indeed sneaked in!” Tom nodded.

“How will you go back? Are you going to sneak back? According to what I know, it’s quite dangerous to sneak through the border. If you get the ring and decide to smuggle it back and something happened on the way, not only will you be able to keep the ring, even your lives would be lost!” I said.

“Ah! We will need to sneak out through the border, but the ring will be shipped through proper channel by the people we have here,” Tom said, “Since we have joined this line of business, we have already prepared ourselves for death mentally!”

“Good, I appreciate your courage and being a lot. I don’t want you to get killed before your time just because you were trying to sneak through the border, so I will help you!” I said.

“You want to help us?” Tom looked at me strangely, “Are you trying to say that you can help us go through the legitimate channel out of the country? That is impossible! We have international criminal history!”

“If I want to do this, what’s so difficult about it. With the influence of Shuguang Corporation, it’s not difficult to get a legal status for the two of you and get you out legally! But I have an even simpler way with nothing for you to worry about,” I continued, “Are the people outside also coming with you?”

“No, they are our liaisons here in China and they also have a legal status here! They are the official employees of this joint venture chemical factory!” Tom shook his head.

“Well then, I will take you both to see Lieutenant Colonel Jake!

I said.

“Lieutenant Colonel Jake? I don’t seem to have told you the name of our boss?” Tom asked in confusion.

“There’s no need for you to tell me,” I shook my head and said to Meng QingQing, “QingQing, you go back first. I have informed Du Xiaowei – his people will be here to pick you up soon!”
