Han Xuan had someone deliver the letter to the city where she used to live. She used to live in a small neighborhood where every resident had a mailbox. She was the only one who knew that there once was a note in her mailbox, a note from Scorpion.

She had the note delivered to the same mailbox this time. She hoped that Scorpion’s subordinates would see it. She desperately wanted to know whether Leng Zhiyuan was dead or not.

Six months had passed by like a breeze since she had the letter delivered. She waited anxiously during this time, but there was no response.

What she also did not understand was that Zhou Yao had not returned since he left her that night. Zhou Yao had been gone for six months.

She wanted to look for Zhou Yao, but there was no one around to help her. The Zhou’s house fell into silence. The Red Flame soldiers’ had no place for her in their minds. They were only concerned about the missing Leng Zhiyuan.

Han Xuan had been desolated.

The letter had been lying quietly in the mailbox the entire time. No one touched it until another six months had passed. A middle-aged man wearing a Jaxon hat suddenly came to the mailbox. He opened the mailbox and took the letter.

The man in the Jaxon hat looked around cautiously. He saw no one around. So, he placed the letter in his coat and planned to leave quickly.

However, at this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard. A large palm reached out and covered the mouth of the man in the Jaxon hat. The man in the Jaxon hat got dragged away.

The army’s interrogation room.

Xiao Zhi quickly walked out of the prison room. This interrogation room was underground. The lighting was dim and the environment felt gloomy. At this moment, there was a handsome and straight figure standing in front of him. He was wearing a camouflage uniform and a pair of black military boots, his facial features were hard and sharp.

Xiao Zhi approached the figure and reported in a low voice, “major general, he was tortured just now. He confessed. He said that he did work for scorpion and once delivered a letter to Han Xuan for scorpion, but he was just a small messenger. He didn’t know much. After Scorpion disappeared eight months ago, he lost contact with Scorpion. Today, he happened to pass by that residential area and opened the mailbox out of curiosity. I didn’t expect to see Han Xuan’s letter. ”

“major general, I think what he said is very believable. He is just a messenger, so Scorpion did not take him with him when he retreated. After all, he is a worthless chess piece. ”

This figure was Zhou Yao. His facial features were hidden in the darkness. Only his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, like a sharp blade, “this person’s words are very reliable, but it doesn’t mean that he has already said everything. ”

“major general, what do you mean? ”

“I just looked at this person’s information. This person is a local boss with a wide network. Maybe Scorpion did not take him seriously, but he must have grasped some clues. Otherwise, as he said, Scorpion had already retreated and he could not contact scorpion. Why would he go to check the mailbox? Wouldn’t that be unnecessary? ”

“Major General, are you saying that this person wants to sell Han Xuan’s letter for a good price and that he is confident that he can contact scorpion? ”

Zhou Yao curled his lips. “whether he is confident or not, I will know after I go and take a look. ”

He turned around and walked into the prison.

Xiao Zhi waited outside for ten minutes. During these ten minutes, he heard a muffled groan coming from the prison. It was as if a person had been subjected to cruel torture and did not even have the time to scream. He could only groan.

At this time, the prison door was opened and a pair of military boots stepped out. One of Zhou Yao’s hands was still in his trouser pocket while the thumb and index finger of his other hand were propped up on the belt at his waist. His thumb was stained with a little blood.

Xiao Zhi handed over a clean wet handkerchief. “Major General, how is it? ”

“order someone to get the island map of the Southeast Peninsula. ”

“Yes! ”

..

The island map was spread out on the table. Zhou Yao bent down and looked at it attentively. Xiao Zhi and the other red flame soldiers stood behind him.

“Major General, the island map of the Southeast Peninsula is too wide. If we follow this range, we might not be able to get any clues even after searching for three to five years. ”

“Yes, Major General. Did the person in the prison say anything else? ”

Zhou Yao shook his head calmly. “that person paid extra attention when he came into contact with Scorpion. He only knew that Scorpion might have retreated to the islands in the Southeast Peninsula. ” As he spoke, Zhou Yao picked up a pen and circled a place on the map, “Scorpion once told me that it’s spring all year round there. According to the weather, we can lock our target in this area. There are more than a thousand islands here, and they are under the jurisdiction of various countries. However, Scorpion definitely can not live on the islands in the jurisdiction, so immediately call the foreign embassy. I want to request for assistance and check the deserted islands in this area one by one. ”

“Yes, Sir! ”

The next morning, Zhou Yao and Xiao Zhi appeared at the airport. Zhou Yao was dressed in a black windbreaker. He was competent and solemn as he instructed in a low voice, “I’ll set off first. You take the others and set off in the morning. I’ve already locked onto some deserted islands, but Scorpion is a vigilant person. He can’t send ships or drones to scout, so I’ve decided to wade in the water. “remember, if you don’t see me come back in eight hours, that means I can’t come back. Send troops immediately. ”

“but, Major General… ” Xiao Zhi hesitated.

“Speak! ”

“the risk factor of wading in the water is extremely high, and the target is big. Even if our analysis is correct, but… ”

But what? Zhou Yao understood.

There were so many deserted islands scattered in different geographical locations. Even if his analysis was correct, but what if she was on Island A and he started to search from Island Z.

Time flew by like water.

He looked ahead and slowly revealed his first soft smile in a long time, “when I was in Tibet, she once told me that she would always wait for me, no matter if it was ten years, twenty years, thirty years… Me Too. No matter if it was ten years, twenty years, thirty years, I would definitely find her until I couldn’t find her anymore. Moreover, I believe in fate. If there’s fate, I might be the first to reach the island where she is… ”

Xiao Zhi did not speak. He had never experienced love, but looking at his major general and sister-in-law, he knew that this was the power of love.

Xiao Zhi sent Zhou Yao off.

..

Zhou Yao was not so lucky. In half a month, he had waded into the water and landed on five deserted islands, but there was no one on the island.

The sea was very cold. He had been immersed in the cold sea water for a long time and felt that his bones were cold. The horizon was boundless darkness, and he was the only one swimming in the sea. Only he could complete such a high-intensity homework.

He was not disappointed. There were only five deserted islands. He had waited for nine months. He did not lack a day or two. He still had time.

Another deserted island appeared in front of him. With a splash, he landed on the shore.
