Chapter 2123: Memories of Seeing Through but Not Telling
It was still an hour’s walk home. Jack walked slowly. His condition was slightly better than Mu Yuan’s. At least he still had some strength. Mu Yuan’s poison attack was particularly severe this time. Jack originally thought that Mu Yuan’s health would gradually improve. He would take time to go to the base to deal with some things. It would only take a day to go back and forth. The people in the counter-terrorism office were waiting. Otherwise, every time it was an email or a phone call, even if it was an encrypted line, Xie Jinghuan’s technology company had recruited four geniuses. It would take time to know their messages. He was arranging personnel to strengthen information management.
But if Mu Yuan was in this state, how could he leave?
If Mu Yuan had another attack of poison and he was not around, would he be able to see Mu Yuan when he came back? He kept hurting himself. Would he break a hand or a foot?
If he was careless and did not take good care of him, Mu Yuan would be half disabled or lose something. Is it worth it? For a mere 60 billion? The answer is obvious. It is not worth it.
Mu Yuan was drowsy. Jack's cell phone rang and kept vibrating. Jack held Mu Yuan's leg with one hand and took the phone with the other. It was Leiman's call, "Major, are you stuck?"
Mu Yuan on his shoulder was drowsy, his eyelashes almost poking his cheek. Mu Yuan could hear Leiman's voice clearly. Jack said, "Yes, I'm stuck. Come over."
A few hours passed in this round trip.
Information and intelligence work can cost a life in an hour, not to mention that most of the day has passed.
"Yes!"
Jack put away the phone, and Mu Yuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he didn't dare to open his eyes.
Xie Jinghuan would take action today. Jack was going to leave for the base after accompanying him to play rafting. The people over there were already ready. He acted out this scene temporarily to create a time difference. When Leiman came again, Xie Jinghuan and Ye Ling should have succeeded. They could perfectly fix the loophole and completely reset the information obtained by the counter-terrorism.
After the reset, the message Jack received was useless. Xie Jinghuan was meticulous and should have arranged for every important person in every link. It would be difficult for Jack to check again.
He was simply acting with his life.
No, it was a bit of a loss.
He cheated Jack and almost lost his life. He should give me at least 20 billion of the 60 billion!!
He wanted to buy ten sea view houses for Jack in the United States.
"I want to drink some water." Mu Yuan said hoarsely. He acted too much today and his voice was hoarse. This time it was real. He was indeed uncomfortable when he fell into the water. He originally planned to move to a place with slower water flow. Who knew that the poison would take effect and he could not control it for a while and capsized the boat.
When he woke up, the remaining poison in his body had not been eliminated, but he could bear it. He felt that it was not strong enough, so he half-pushed and half-acted in an exaggerated state, and Jack actually believed it.
Mu Yuan was very guilty.
There was a small river not far away. Jack put his phone on the wooden bridge. There were few pedestrians in the wilderness. He went down to get some water. Mu Yuan leaned on the railing. The moonlight gently enveloped him, making his embarrassment even more shocking. Jack looked at him steadily, holding the thermos cup tightly, and strode over.
There were some things he had to talk to Mu Yuan about.
Mu Yuan heard the footsteps and looked up at him. Jack gave him the water cup, and he also imitated Mu Yuan, sat on the wooden bridge, stretched his legs, and said, "Give me your phone."
