Chapter 1043 - Major, I Am Very Serious (2/2)

“Xiaoyuan, you… ”

You are too important.

There was no way for him to keep on going if he did not know whether Mu Yuan was dead or alive. Hence, they fixed a rule for each other. Unless it was a necessary mission and they had to break off all communication, they had to keep in touch at least once every three days.

Mu Yuan breathed in a mouthful of the cigar and blew it at Jack. It was as if he was letting him breathe in second-hand smoke on purpose. Jack choked on the smoke and could not help himself from kicking Mu Yuan. Mu Yuan smiled heartily. “Don’t worry unnecessarily. We’ll talk about it when that moment is here.”

Jack took away the cigar that was in between his fingers. He took a puff and was also feeling vexed.

“I have been tracking the Black Rose for one year already,” Jack said. “I’ve been tracking her down intermittently and continuously, but I could not find any reliable information all along. There were a few times which I had gotten tip-offs, but what I received were the bodies of the spies. That’s really a provocation. A provocation to a huge country.”

“But when there’s no way, there’s no way.”

“I put in so much effort and arranged for two people to go in, but I seemed to be blinded. They could not pass on any news to me, and they also did not leave any messages,” Jack said. “I’m not afraid of coming face-to-face with the enemy and also not afraid of bare mountains and dangerous rivers. I’m only afraid of being helpless.”

Jack rarely talked to Mu Yuan about stress at work.

This was the first time that he voiced out his thoughts.

Mu Yuan said, “You never mentioned these to me before?”

“How many times can we reunite in a year? The number of times that I kiss you is already not enough, where can I have the time to chat with you?”

“… ” Mu Yuan was astonished.

What the…!

The heartache that had just risen was being pushed back in.

Mu Yuan followed Jack’s action and also kicked him in the leg.

“Be more serious.”

“Major, I am very serious.”

The sun cast a shadow on Jack’s face. It made his eyes look deeper. Mu Yuan’s heart pounded. “If the Black Rose is settled, I’ll take one month of leave.”
