Chapter 896: Trembling Heart

He had even lost his identity and became an illegal mercenary; he’s not allowed to be seen in any country! The moment he is revealed, even the country’s military can’t protect them easily!    

Because they were not soldiers of China now! Their names cannot be found in the whole military system!   

Erasing everything, then sending them on this mission, it was more than enough to realize that the moment their identities are revealed, they can only save themselves!    

When inferencing to that point, even Ye Jian’s heart was trembling, “Then, you, why did you return to Yunnan province… Xia Jinyuan, there’s a reason you came back to Yunnan province. Yunnan is Brother Zi’s territory, is it because you believe no matter what happens, he will not stand by and watch, that’s why you came back to Yunnan province. Am I right?”   

“Also, Captain Xia, since you dared to contact Hou Zi while on a mission, then you must have an ulterior motive! Correct?”    

Compared to Ye Jian’s tenseness, Xia Jinyuan’s expression seemed much more relaxed, “It’s not am I right, correct? Because that’s the truth. You’re very right, little fox, there’s actually a reason behind why I must come here, to Yunnan province.”    

“You’ve said it was a decapitation strike mission a moment ago; decapitation strikes are considered one of the largest missions, involving matters between countries. It’s such a huge deal, even if Hou Zi became much more powerful in Yunnan province, he still can’t guarantee your safety.” Pursing her lips, Ye Jian’s gaze stared at him even carefully, and said with full certainty: “Captain Xia, the reason behind why you must return to Yunnan province isn’t that simple!”    

Xia Jinyuan chuckled quietly, though his handsome face looked at ease, his voice was filled with penetrating coldness: “My current identity is an illegal mercenary!”  

He emphasized the word ‘illegal,’ then looked at Ye Jian with a penetrating gaze: “Ye Jian, you tell me, why did I return to Yunnan? Why is it that I have to return here?”

Yunnan province is Hou Zi’s land, if ‘snakes’ that he had lured in from overseas attacked him, Hou Zi wouldn’t stand by and allow it and the reason why he had to return to Yunnan province was that Hou Zi possessed weapons.

Ye Jian’s brain did not stop even for a moment; she was continually analyzing the reason behind why Xia Jinyuan had to return to Yunnan province. Then she remembered how he suddenly told her about his mission was a ‘decapitation strike’; he didn’t mention confidential information in the commandments of secrecy, but what he said… seems like he had intentionally told her.   

Nobody can help them, the only ones who can help them where they themselves, that’s not right, she could also help him!

If things were as she guessed, Xia Jinyuan intentionally told her about their mission, and behind that… was the intention of the military!    

Why else would he, a soldier, so easily tell her about the contents of their mission?    

Only after receiving the approval from the military, did he dare speak of it!   

The military knew he had returned to Yunnan province, knew he had visited Hou Zi, and knew he had contacted her, all of those things, the military knew, but Xia Jinyuan was still an ‘illegal.’ mercenary’!

An illegal mercenary did not hide the fact he had contacted Hou Zi, an underworld boss, from the military, then that means the military had allowed him to contact Hou Zi.

…Obviously, it was something that no one had any idea about. Obviously, it was something that would become more chaotic the more you think about it. On the contrary, Ye Jian had managed to realize the whole picture the more she pondered on it. Gradually, gradually, the reason why Xia Jinyuan was forced to return to Yunnan province surfaced in her mind.   

Because Hou Zi possessed something useful that the military cannot provide for Xia Jinyuan at this time, what is that something then? The light in Ye Jian’s eyes gradually dimmed, like the sea, her eyes resembled the bottomless ocean.    

After about a minute and some, the surface of the bottomless sea rippled, she must’ve guessed the reason why Xia Jinyuan had chosen to return to Yunnan province!
