Chapter 169 It's not advisable to act rashly tonight.
On the helipad, a small but speed-looking helicopter waits quietly.
She took a deep breath and boarded the helicopter.
As soon as I sat down, I noticed the tense expressions on the faces of the third and fourth brothers.
She knew in her heart that this long journey was by no means simple.
The third and fourth brothers stood aside, their expressions filled with an unprecedented worry, a stark contrast to their usual carefree demeanor.
The fourth brother looked at Su Yingxue, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
The third brother patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "Let her go. She's determined."
During the flight, the fourth brother broke the silence and said with a serious expression, "Yingxue, our destination this time is Ruili, a border city in Myanmar. That place is a mixed bag and very chaotic."
Su Yingxue frowned slightly, and the third brother continued, "When we arrive in Ruili, you wait at the hotel while we go and find out what's going on."
Su Yingxue replied, "Okay, I trust you. But if you need me, be sure to call me."
But she had other plans in mind. How could she sit and wait at the hotel? She was determined to participate in the operation and capture Wei Hao herself.
Su Yingxue closed her eyes, and Tan Zhengchu's face appeared in her mind. He lay quietly on the hospital bed, lifeless.
Whenever she thought of this scene, her heart ached, and she thought to herself, "Zhengchu, you must wait for us to come back."
When she looked up, tears were already glistening in Su Yingxue's eyes.
At this moment, the helicopter sped towards Ruili, a border town full of unknowns and dangers.
……
Ten hours later, the plane slowly landed in Ruili, a border city in Myanmar.
It was the middle of the night, and all was quiet.
Su Yingxue slept the whole way, then slowly woke up, rubbed her eyes, and yawned widely.
As soon as the plane came to a stop, Su Yingxue couldn't wait to ask, "Third brother, fourth brother, have we arrived at our destination?"
The third brother glanced down at his watch, his expression calm, and replied, "We've arrived. It's three in the morning. Everyone has traveled for so long and is exhausted. Let's rest for the night, recharge our energy, and move on tomorrow."
The fourth brother nodded in agreement: "The third brother is right, it's not advisable to make any rash moves tonight."
The third brother led Su Yingxue and the others to their residence.
To Su Yingxue's surprise, she was not staying at a hotel, but at a manor.
The manor gates slowly opened, and the butler, accompanied by a group of servants, quickly came forward to greet them.
The butler bowed slightly and asked respectfully, "Third Master, is your sudden arrival for a meeting? We were completely unprepared, and we are truly sorry for the inconvenience."
The third brother, dressed in a black trench coat, strode into the manor with a straight posture.
He merely glanced at the butler and said, "I'm here to take care of some business. These two are my friends, Miss Su Yingxue and Lao Si. Please make arrangements to ensure they are treated well."
As he spoke, he pointed to the two people beside him.
The butler quickly nodded respectfully to Su Yingxue and the fourth master, saying, "Miss Su, Fourth Master, welcome. Please feel free to ask if you need anything."
Su Yingxue smiled and replied, "Thank you for your trouble. I'm sorry to have troubled you."
The fourth brother nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."
Seeing that the two were friendly and approachable, the butler couldn't help but feel more favorably toward them and became even more friendly.
Su Yingxue's room was arranged next to Lao Si's.
She pushed open the door and entered; the interior decorations immediately caught her eye.
The room is decorated in a style reminiscent of the last century, with a retro and elegant feel, full of a sense of history.
Su Yingxue looked around with satisfaction, thinking: This is much better than the hotel room I imagined.
She strolled around the room slowly, growing to love its unique atmosphere even more, muttering to herself, "I always feel like hotels lack a bit of human touch, but staying at Lao San's house feels pretty good."
Meanwhile, the third brother returned to his room, took a shower, lit a lamp, leaned against the window, and exhaled a smoke ring.
Bored, he reached for his phone, intending to call A-Qian and ask about the situation at home.
After the third brother finished showering, water droplets were still dripping from his hair.
He casually picked up a towel and wiped himself, then lit a cigarette and sat down on the edge of the bed.
With nothing to do, I dialed Ashen's number.
His voice was deep and soothing, as if it possessed a calming magic: "A-Qian, are you home?"
At this moment, A-Qian was holding her chest, her brows furrowed, as waves of morning sickness washed over her.
Hearing the phone ring, she suppressed her discomfort and cleared her throat.
When the call connected, her voice remained clear and melodious: "Third Brother, I'm here. I've missed you so much."
The third brother took a drag of his cigarette, slowly exhaled a smoke ring, and said in a tone that left no room for argument, "You stay home and behave yourself. Don't rush to school. Things haven't been peaceful lately, you know?"
A-Qian leaned against the headboard and gently replied, "Third Brother, I know, I'll definitely be good."
Be careful out there too. This time, you have to help Sister Yingxue catch Wei Hao so everyone can be at ease.
After hanging up the phone, A-Qian raised her hand and gently stroked her still flat stomach, a complex expression appearing on her face.
She thought to herself: I really like my third brother's arrogance, but no one in the family blesses our love.
I dare not even think about what the future holds.
Ashen's morning sickness became more and more frequent, but each time the discomfort would pass quickly.
She was also relieved that the third brother wasn't around, at least for now he wouldn't discover the secret.
She gently patted her belly, as if communicating with the baby inside: "Baby, your daddy is a great hero who can solve any problem. He will definitely protect us."
But... Mother may not be able to stay with you forever; the road ahead is too uncertain.
As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears.
The third brother sat on the edge of the bed, a cigarette between his fingers, motionless for a long time, his eyes revealing his concern and longing for A-Qian.
Although he had no choice in leaving, he couldn't bear to leave her behind.
But at present, the task of capturing Wei Hao is urgent.
He could only keep this concern to himself for the time being, and wait until he had resolved things here before going back to be with her.
The third brother sat on the edge of the bed, the cigarette between his fingers already half-burned, wisps of smoke rising into the air.
His heart was filled with longing for A-Qian, and the two chatted so much that they completely forgot about the time.
I glanced at it by chance and realized it was already past 2 a.m.
His voice was full of concern: "Ah Qian, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
When the third brother asked, A-Qian's heart skipped a beat.
She was terrified that her third son would find out about her physical discomfort or her pregnancy.
Quickly calming himself down, he said in as light a tone as possible, "Third Brother, I just got up to go to the bathroom, and I'm going to sleep now."
The third brother grunted in response, not noticing anything amiss, and didn't ask any further questions.
The third brother was silent for a moment, then softened his voice and said with a touch of tenderness, "A-Qian, then you should go to sleep. Good night."
A-Qian smiled slightly and replied softly, "Third Brother, goodnight to you too."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
