Chapter 1629: Regarding Xu Zhenyu’s Mission!

Wen Xinya gently fondled with the dangling earring on her right ear.

This dangling earring!

Ever since Si Yiyan personally wore it for her eight years ago, she had rarely removed it. More often than not, even when matching her gowns, she had done it based on the style of this earring.

Over the course of eight years, Si Yiyan had left too many marks belonging to him all over her.

The earring which represented the queen of the most powerful person in Lucifer!

The anklet which meant passionate love, desire, and unwavering loyalty, the “Slave of Love”.

The engagement ring which represented the pact to vow to be together in life and in death.

Not longer after Xu Zhenyu left, Si Yiyan came back. Seeing that there were two teacups on the table, he asked, “There was a visitor?”

Wen Xinya nodded. “Xu Zhenyu came over just now.”

Si Yiyan watched her as she subconsciously fiddled with the dangling earring in her hand and said mildly, “I’ve received information that previously, a troop of special forces under the commanding officer took part in an international operation to sabotage JH business. Xu Zhenyu was the person in charge from China in that mission.”

Wen Xinya would subconsciously fiddle with the dangling earring on her right ear when she was in deep thoughts.

It was a habit!

However, when it concerned Xu Zhenyu, her act of fiddling with her earring became intriguing. Her thoughts couldn’t escape his eyes, not even the slightest bit.

Wen Xinya face changed as she looked up at Si Yiyan. “You’re saying that Xu Zhenyu’s mission this time is related to the international JH business?”

Indeed, she had thoughts of asking Si Yiyan about the circumstances in the east. After all, Lucifer had some powers at the east and was very closely linked to many governments and heads of the countries there.

Unexpectedly, Si Yiyan actually had such an extensive network that he knew about Xu Zhenyu’s dispatch.

Ammunition!

The east!

This was the link that Wen Xinya could conceive at this stage—two keywords. However, two keywords were sufficient to make her terrified. She felt a little lost.

Si Yiyan hugged her waist and held her into his arms. “The mission was rather successful and only a key leader of a group got away. According to investigations, this leader is currently in one of the countries in the east. There had been two international missions which ended in failure and this was the last mission—the orders from the alliance were that it should only succeed!”

Previously, a couple of seniors from the military had already looked for him and requested for his assistance—he had agreed!

The mission this time was rather dangerous and was referred to by the alliance as the “Envoy’s Mission”.

Envoy!

The mission!

Of an envoy!

An envoy’s mission was a mission of the highest tier in the military—to be completed at all costs.

Wen Xinya’s mind was slightly blurry. “So, this mission is rather dangerous!”

The situation in the east was too complicated. Oil wars, internal conflicts, betrayals, armed incidents, and terrorism were commonplace.

An escaped leader was actually not that scary.

However, the issue was that it was a JH leader holding massive JH. These weapons could change a country’s fate, the entire situation in the east, and even that of the entire world.

This was simply terrifying.

Xu Zhenyu’s mission this time was indeed not simple!

Si Yiyan agreed with her. “Indeed, it’s very dangerous. From the time an envoy boards the helicopter towards the east, he’ll already be stripped of his military uniform and everything on him which can prove his identity and nationality. He’ll be nameless and only have a code name until the completion of the mission. If the mission fails, he’ll be anonymous and nobody will know his sacrifice.”

An international mission involved foreign affairs and politics and could trigger a war anytime. No one could bear such responsibilities except those envoys with missions.

Wen Xinya suddenly grabbed Si Yiyan’s arm anxiously and asked with a trembling voice, “Lucifer is also participating in this mission?”

Regardless of how well connected Si Yiyan was to the military, he wouldn’t know such details about such a confidential mission if he weren’t participating.

Si Yiyan said mildly, “For Lucifer, changes in the situation in the east won’t affect us much. However, you obviously don’t wish for this mission to fail.”

Regardless of the changes there, whether it be related to changes in ammunition or political powers, a full-blown internal war, or a rebellion, Lucifer’s status there wouldn’t change—anyone in power would first ally with Lucifer.

For some reason, Wen Xinya suddenly felt calmer. She cuddled in Si Yiyan’s arms. “What’s the estimated success rate of this mission?”

It was naturally the best that Si Yiyan could participate in this mission.

Originally, she had already planned to get Si Yiyan to provide some assistance to Xu Zhenyu.

Si Yiyan didn’t answer her but held her slightly cold fingertips and said, “When the mission officially commences, I’ll personally head over to the east to assist.”

Actually, he didn’t need to head over personally—such matters could be handled by Xu Xianghu.

However, he suddenly changed his mind.

Wen Xinya widened her eyes as her tone suddenly shot up. “You’re heading over personally?”

Her heart sank incessantly.

They were the two most important men in her life.

One of them had been watching over her like an elder brother.

The other one was a man that she admired and had poured all her love in, who had been shielding her from everything.

Now, both of them were going to be in danger. She felt extremely gloomy.

She was only Wen Xinya—strong and outstanding in everyone’s eyes. However, before the country’s mission, she was as insignificant as an ant. When faced with ammunition and war, she was so frail that she couldn’t withstand a blow.

Si Yiyan grabbed her cold fingers. “Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”

Xu Zhenyu and Xinya had two lifetimes of entanglement—it was worth being envious and jealous about, and something that he couldn’t help about. Xinya didn’t love Xu Zhenyu, but Xu Zhenyu occupied a similarly huge space in her heart when compared to him.

He could imagine—Xu Zhenyu was dispatched out of the country.

Following that, Xinya should be extremely worried and ill at ease.

It would be an anxiety that he couldn’t appease.

Instead of staying by her side and seeing her worry for another man, he’d rather participate in the mission directly to guarantee its success. With him around, Wen Xinya would also not worry too much about Xu Zhenyu.

Wen Xinya pouted her lips tightly and only said after half a second, “Do you have to participate? Can’t you hand it to Xu Xianghu?”

She was even slightly pleading in her tone.

Si Yiyan touched her cheek gently. “What a silly girl. Have you forgotten who I am?”

He was the head of Lucifer with massive powers in the east. He didn’t take a mere JH leader to heart. This girl had obviously forgotten his identity and worried about him as if he were an ordinary man.

Stunned, Wen Xinya suddenly got it and only then did she calm down, hug his waist, and rub her face against his chest. “You’re not allowed to get hurt! Not even a strand of hair. Everything on you belongs to me—you’ve gotta return everything as it is!”

“Okay!”

Si Yiyan gave a low laugh.
