Old Ma, working in the Criminal Investigation Division for twenty-three years, from a twenty-two-year-old lad till the forty-five-year-old middle-aged man of today, he had handled countless cases, whether big or small, the serial killer case that had shocked the whole nation in 1996 was solved with him in charge.
After Ye Zhifan knew Old Ma was stepping in charge, he sat back in his office as he felt cold shivers in his body; though the heating was on, he felt like he had been tossed into an icy pool.
There wasn’t any information about Chen Dongfeng’s wellbeing. Instead, the news from the police had entered his ears nonstop, making him lose motivation to work.
“Xiao Dong, I’m going out for a bit, call me if anything happens.” Director Ye, who lost motivation to work, called over his secretary; after handing out some instructions, he picked up his car keys and drove away.
He needed to calm down, to properly calm down, and think about whether or not there were any loose ends that needed tying up.
It hadn’t been easy to reach where he was today; he didn’t want to lose everything so suddenly! Everything was only starting now; he cannot fall!
Driving aimlessly, Ye Zhifan pondered with a bloodthirsty look; his expression was as gloomy as being covered in dark clouds, making someone shiver without a chill.
After driving into a park, he quietly laid down in his car and pondered carefully if he had missed anything, he thought for at least an hour, Ye Zhifan was extremely certain, he had truly done nothing which the police would have been suspicious of, only then did a sneer float up to his tensed face.
Until Old Ma had brought two officers into his office, Ye Zhifan wasn’t panicking in the slightest; he was very calm and received them in a very official way.
At the same time, it was precisely ten days since Principal Chen’s infusion accident, Ye Jian and the other male soldiers, who had just completed their desert training was currently boarding the helicopter that had flown into the desert to pick them up, with a body screaming silent exhaustion, they flew towards the highlands as they started the final stage of their training.
This was the last stop of their training, although everyone’s exhaustion was noticeable on their faces. Yet, no one had backed down, no matter how painful and exhausted they would persist, “backing down” had never appeared in the dictionaries of the two teams!
Around this time, the highlands had already been covered in heavy snow, the soldiers stationed in each outpost were spending their days in isolation, in order to ensure a successful landing, the pilot had kept in constant communication with the main station in the highlands, if there are any changes in the weather, then the helicopter cannot reach the landing point.
This helicopter had been sent out from a certain Army Aviation’s Multi-aircraft Unit from the borders; all the pilot crew were Army Aviation soldiers in charge of patrolling the Northwestern highlands. They had abundant experience in flying and could successfully complete their patrols every time.
For the members of the Storm Commandos, it was their first time training in the highlands, high altitude hypoxia had become a worry for everyone, it was a good thing that the training this time didn’t send them suddenly into high altitudes; instead, they were supposed to complete a mission at an altitude of two thousand meters above sea level.
That was the arrangement of the military, in consideration of the members of the Storm Commandos; it was the most reasonable arrangement they had made.
The landing time was exactly two p.m., the sky was extremely clear and blue, the snow-capped mountains far away were rolling, appearing like a coiled dragon.
Four helicopters landed successfully in order, the instant one helicopter had just taken off, another helicopter had entered the landing spot just in time to start landing procedures.
Xia Jinyuan, who had gotten off first, led the members of the Storm Commandos to stand at a distance as they waited for their comrades to assemble; while waiting, he started telling them about the Army Aviation in charge of patrolling the air in the Northwest border, “None of the places we have entered are uninhabited regions, for the Aviation Army, to complete their patrols, they are required to fly over uninhabited regions, the Highlands, the Tianshan Mountain ranges, there aren’t any Ground Navigation Stations, Radar Stations along the way, even the most advanced satellite guidance system would work intermittently because of refraction in the mountains. From safe lift off to safe landing, without rich experience and a calm heart, it would be extremely difficult to complete.”
