Chapter 60: The Death of the Ribs
After Zuo Wei returned to the villa, he first ordered Xiao Jin to bring the middle-aged man, and an hour later, Xiao Jin returned to the villa alone.
"What about people?" Zuo Wei looked behind Xiao Jin curiously.
"Miss Zuo, after I arrived, the man had already left, and the cart of chickens was also delivered to a nearby farm according to your instructions." Xiao Jin said and took out an envelope and said, "This is what the man left for you." β
"Oh," Zuo Wei said, taking the envelope, "has the money been paid?" β
"It's paid!" Xiao Jin replied. He wondered why Zuo Wei cared so much about the sloppy middle-aged man, he thought that Zuo Wei was just a kind man who wanted to give the middle-aged man a little more money, so he continued, "I paid him 20% more according to the market price, which can be regarded as vehicle maintenance!" β
"Well, you're doing a great job!" Zuo Wei said to Xiao Jin with appreciation, he is worthy of being McGoh's right-hand man, and he guesses the master's mind very carefully! Zuo Wei smiled and said, "You go back to work first!" If anything, I'll look for you again! β
"Okay!" Xiao Jin turned around and left and went back to the company.
Zuo Wei took advantage of Mai Meng's time to go online, opened the envelope, and saw a few lines of scribbled words on a piece of white paper: Miss Zuo, I am secretly protecting you on the orders of Mai Shao. The inscription is: Yellow Sparrow.
Zuo Wei naturally hadn't heard of the Yellow Sparrow, but even Xiao Jin didn't know the middle-aged man, so he naturally guessed that the Yellow Sparrow must be McGoh's secret power, and he couldn't help but miss McGo even more. This man can be said to have done his homework for her safety, and she was very touched by these unexpected actions at the moment.
Just as she was stunned with the note, she suddenly heard Mai Meng calling her in the study, Zuo Wei hurriedly put the note away, put it in her bag, and walked towards the study.
"Xiao Wei, come and see," Mai Meng pointed to the computer screen and said, "Now the entertainment headlines of major websites are occupied by our press conferences, more than half of them are reporting on Wang Yunzhi's marriage proposal to your mother, and a small half of the reports are about me!" β
"Propose?" Zuo Wei suddenly missed the most important moment in his mother's life. She hurriedly opened the news titled "Single Female President Mei Kai Second Infatuated Male Assistant Proposes on the Spot", and saw her mother's face full of emotion, and Uncle Wang's deep love.
Zuo Wei knew that this moment would come sooner or later, but she didn't expect that Uncle Wang, who had always been dull and low-key, would use such a high-profile way to surprise her mother in a different way! She wanted to call her mother right away to send her blessings, but she thought that they might be busy with the company's affairs at this time, so she thought about going back later.
"Congratulations to your mother and Uncle Wang, finally holding hands!" Mai Meng also said with emotion, after reading the whole report, she had already been moved by Wang Yunzhi's affection.
"Hehe......" Zuo Wei was so happy that she almost burst into tears, she casually clicked on another news titled "'The Return of the Queen' amazed the audience and the future is limitless", and said to Mai Meng with a smile: "It seems that your first step is very successful, I think the company will start to promote you next." β
"I'll trouble you with these things, I won't know anything." Mai Mengjiao said to Zuo Wei drippingly, "Thank you Xiao Wei!" I never thought I would be able to change my life! β
"Thank you! I'm just pulling a thread for you. Zuo Wei looked at Mai Meng and said sincerely, "It is your own efforts that have made you where you are today, and I wish you that you will become stronger and better in the future!" β
Mai Meng was just about to speak, and the sound of the flower sister-in-law laughing and groaning came from the door. Since Nancey left, Sister-in-law Hua felt that the whole world was quiet, and now the eldest lady and Miss Zuo have moved in again, which makes her the happiest, because she likes Miss Zuo very much, and Miss Zuo and Young Master Mai are a natural pair!
"Two young ladies, it's time to eat!" Sister-in-law Hua pointed to the clock and said, "You didn't have time to eat at noon, aren't you hungry now?" β
"Let's go eat!" Zuo Wei pulled up Mai Meng and said to Sister-in-law Hua with a smile, "Thank you, Sister-in-law Hua!" β
"Miss Zuo, don't always be too polite, this is your home. If you are so polite, if the young master hears it, you will blame me! Sister-in-law Hua pretended to be aggrieved and said.
Thinking of McGoh, Zuo Wei's face turned red all of a sudden, that man always put on a look of eating her, and always deliberately ate her tofu when eating, those small actions are probably seen by Sister-in-law Hua!
At ten o'clock in the evening, when Lu Jiangong came home from a busy day's work and turned on the TV, the TV was playing back the day's news. Tired, he was just about to pick up a glass of water and drink saliva, when the sound of Wang Yunzhi proposing to Zuo Shangqing on the spot came from the TV.
When he saw Zuo Shangqing's still young and beautiful face, his hands couldn't help but tremble, and he almost dropped the water cup on the floor. He made a big mistake back then, no matter how much he regretted and how he retained, Zuo Shangqing still left resolutely, with a broken heart.
She is so strong, even if the years have left traces of old age on her sideburns, but her stubborn eyes are as clear as they were back then. He held back his excitement and slowly sat down on the sofa, and the soft sofa suddenly sank down, as if enveloping him, so that people could not see his existence.
At that time, he also signed a divorce agreement in desperation, for the sake of his career, for the reputation and reputation of the Lu family for hundreds of years, he had to agree to marry Lin Lin, and completed his second marriage in a low-key manner. Over the years, whenever he woke up in the middle of the night, he would think of those sad eyes like ashes and the innocent appearance of his daughter.
These memories gnawed at his soul every night, reminding him of his terrible past. Whenever he woke up in a dream and shouted "Xiaoqing, Xiaowei", Lin Lin beside him would cry in the middle of the night about his difficulty and forbearance.
Tears blurred her eyes, and what she heard in her ears was Zuo Shangqing's affectionate "I do", twenty years of hard work and patience, God finally let her have happiness again! Lu Jiangong nestled in the sofa, immersed in his own memories, and didn't notice that Lin Lin pushed the door and walked in.
"What are you looking at......" Lin Lin stopped in the middle of her words, she had seen this news during the day, and Mrs. Lu had also seen it, and Mrs. Lu's seemingly resentful gaze made her look like a man, and she didn't dare to speak. At this moment, her husband actually cried secretly for this news, which made her feel a strong sense of frustration and grievance!
"She's going to marry someone else, what are you sad about?" Lin Lin said to Lu Jiangong half-dissatisfied, half-admonishing.
Lu Jiangong didn't say anything, he looked at the woman in front of him who was no longer in his prime, and got up and left silently.
Lin Lin's sense of grievance aggravated all of a sudden, she felt that there was nothing wrong with the happiness she had fought for, but why did she always have to live in the shadow of others! She angrily glanced at the young and beautiful Zuo Shangqing on the TV and turned off the TV.
**************************
At one o'clock in the morning local time in India, McGoh led the team to find Gary's hiding place.
"Eagle No. 1 is in place!"
"Eagle No. 2 in place!"
The voices of Lion and Oscar came from the headset, and they had taken the two most advantageous positions as McGoh had commanded.
McGoh waved his hand to signal the rescue team to wait in the jungle, and then led the team into enemy-occupied territory. Several men in turn entered the enemy's observation zone with their hands on the shoulders of the previous one.
"Eagle One, take out the sniper!" McGoh waited in the shadows, giving orders to Lion.
"Eagle No. 1 received!" Without speaking, Lion aimed at the sniper on the roof, and with one hit, his fallen body was directly caught by the two team members behind McGoh.
"Very good, Eagle One changes position and continues to monitor!" McGoh repeated.
Lion, who was on the heights, quickly got up and walked towards the darkness.
"The peripheral group should be vigilant and never let a person out!" McGoak gave the order and signaled for the attack to begin.
The team immediately shifted into an attack formation and launched an attack on the ordinary house. Since the wee hours of the morning were the time when the guards were lax, a few people quickly took out the bodyguards and kicked out the hut where Gary was hiding.
"Report to the captain, no target found!"
"Report to the captain, no target found!"
Soon, two of his men reported the search to McGoh.
How can it be? McGoh wondered, no one went out, and Gary was not found in the detector to escape, how could it be that the world had evaporated?
"Search again!" McGoh gave the order with a calm face, his eyes searching the hut.
The outer group in the jungle was on standby at any time, but Nancey ran straight towards the residence, and Huo Chenfeng, as the team leader, immediately stopped her.
"What are you doing?" Huo Chenfeng asked in a low voice.
"I'm going in!" Nancey ignored Huo Chenfeng's obstruction and ran straight towards the action group.
Huo Chenfeng immediately used his fists and feet to stop her from leaving, and warned: "Nancey, the consequences of disobeying the captain's orders are serious, you know it!" β
"I don't want you to care!" Nancey turned around and forced Huo Chenfeng back with a knife, and in the blink of an eye, he had already run into the darkness and disappeared.
Huo Chenfeng cursed in a low voice, and at the same time said to McGo on the radio: "Old K, the little bird disobeyed the order and ran in!" And then it was repeated.
"Roger!" McGoy frowned, and was about to bend down to check the bed on one side when he heard Nancey yell, "Be careful! At the same time, the figure had already plunged into McGoh's arms and slowly fell.
βShitοΌβ Oscar cursed under his breath as he aimed his gun at a dark shadow on the opposite hillside as it was about to get up and leave, with a speed that no one could match. Lion, who was nearby, ran up the hill to check where the figure was going.
"What's going on?" Huo Chenfeng heard something strange coming from the headset, and immediately led the team to rush to the house.
βNanceyοΌβ McGoh clutched Nancey's hand tightly and shouted eagerly.
"Mai!" Nancey's breathing was visibly weakened, and her voice was pale, "I'm glad I was able to die for you!" β
"What nonsense are you talking about!" McGoh quickly examines Nancey's injuries and discovers that the bullet has hit her side in the ribs, which is not fatal for the time being.
Nancey knew that her rib was injured, and she said in a trembling tone, "God said that women are made from one of a man's ribs, and I wish I was your rib!" β
