Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don t Mess Around! - Chapter 925
After hanging up, Ye Jian didn’t reply to Xia Jinyuan immediately. She thought for a moment and said, “I suddenly feel that the car accident I met in the morning wasn’t so simple. Those fellows came from Hongkou City to the Southern Province early in the morning. The location of the car accident this morning is at the entrance of two highways. One was the airport highway and the other was the highway heading to Hongkou City.”
Something flashed past Xia Jinyuan’s black eyes. He had put on his black suit jacket again. No emotions could be seen on his handsome face but in the dimly lit room, his face was tainted with a cold aura. His expression got even more ambiguous as he said, “You suspect that the car accident is related to them?”
“I didn’t link them together previously but just a moment ago, Commissioner Yang said that Old Guan probably saw something he shouldn’t so he got into a car accident. Early in the morning, car accident, Hongkou, mercenaries, death… If you look at them individually, there seems to be no link. But, if you piece them together…
Before Ye Jian could finish speaking, Xia Jinyuan grabbed her hand abruptly. “We will go over immediately. I trust your instinct. Bring your gun just in case.”
He did trust her instinct. A woman’s sixth sense was always sharper than a man’s. Also, Ye Jian was trained to be a Special Forces soldier so her instinct was even more precise. When he saw her bloodstained school uniform in the morning, he thought that the ‘snakes’ had bitten Ye Jian…
Things that seemed unlinked were actually related if one looked at them carefully.
“It looks like we don’t have to wait anymore. They are probably on their way to find us.” Ye Jian quickly opened a paper bag and took out a set of pure cotton tracksuit. “One minute. I will change my clothes!”
While Ye Jian was rushing to the hotel, she bought a set of tracksuit at a clothes shop at the side of the road. This was to facilitate her movement.
She took off her dress and changed into the tracksuit. When she walked out of the bathroom, she didn’t look as stunning as when she wore the dress. Instead, she looked clean, tidy, and handsome.
As compared to a dress, Ye Jian preferred tracksuits as they were convenient to move around in.
G3 stayed at Hotel Caesar too. He was supposed to hide in the shadows so he didn’t need to leave with them. He would rest at the hotel and take a nice hot bath.
Hou Zi wouldn’t come up to the 23rd floor of Hotel Caesar at this moment. Xia Jinyuan had command over everything. G3 told the two of them to be careful and didn’t say anything else. He turned and went to take care of his hygiene.
It took around 40 minutes to reach the transportation bureau from the hotel. In 1997, the Southern Province wasn’t as bustling as it would be in ten years. Not many people owned private cars. The road was mostly filled with motorcycles and bicycles so there was no need to worry about meeting a traffic jam. They reached the transportation bureau very quickly.
Commissioner Yang was already waiting at the guardhouse. He saw a white sedan driving over and parking outside the station. Then, he saw Ye Jian get off the car. He welcomed her personally. “The people from the police station are here too. You have seen them before. It’s the same batch of people as before… Isn’t this… Secretary Xia’s younger brother? Little Ye, the two of you… How did you meet?”
Xia Jinyuan got off the car a step later. He smiled at the Commissioner of the Transportation Bureau who recognized him and asked, “Commissioner Yang, nice to meet you. I’m Secretary Xia’s cousin.”
“I know you. The previous time, you came with Little Ye…” His gaze shifted between the two of them a few times. Then, he patted his forehead and laughed. “That’s right. The previous time, Secretary Xia looked for you and asked you to bring Little Ye along. Look at me. I must be too anxious. My brain isn’t working properly. You originally knew each other.”
