Chapter 868 - I Understand Your Hardships

“No need. I’m not tired yet.” Xia Jinyuan closed his eyes but his brain wasn’t resting. “Talk with me. Maybe I can fall asleep while listening to your voice.”

Ye Jian pursed her lips tightly. “You’re back in your country but why do you still seem so preoccupied? Are you facing some difficulties?”

“Something went wrong with the decapitation strike.” Xia Jinyuan calmly said the mission they were executing this time. He received approval from the military so he was able to speak without any pressure. However, Ye Jian didn’t know this so her expression changed entirely.

Her beautiful face turned cold as she scolded in a low tone, “Xia Jinyuan, open your eyes!” How could he talk about his mission so easily? Didn’t he know what his identity was? “The ten rules of confidentiality of a soldier. Look at what you’re saying now!”

One, never say the secrets you’re not supposed to say. Two, don’t ask about any secrets. Three, don’t look at the secrets you’re not supposed to see. Four, don’t carry the secrets you’re not supposed to carry. Five, don’t mention any secrets in personal messages.

Six, never record any secrets in non-confidential files. Seven, never use ordinary mails to pass secrets around. Eight, never read or talk about secrets in a non-confidential environment. Nine, you’re not allowed to copy, save, or destroy a confidential file personally. Ten, never bring any confidential files when you’re visiting or bringing your relatives around.

“Do you understand all these?” Xia Jinyuan couldn’t help but smile when he saw how anxious she was. He lifted his eyes slightly and said, “I just said decapitation strike. You will not be able to know what kind of decapitation strike it was.”

The mission this time was a decapitation strike. There was nothing wrong with the operation team. However, one of the electrical engineers in the embassy told outsiders that China was sending people to repair the old circuit. This sentence alerted their enemy.

They had to stay in a sewer for 48 hours because of the level of security. Thus, when they came out of the sewer, their hands and feet were numb.

This caused the Xueyu unit to lose contact with their team members after the operation. This was the first time this had happened in the past few years. Even till today, not all the team members had come back.

That’s right, decapitation strike didn’t mean anything but what does ‘decapitation’ mean? It means to annihilate the leader of the enemy and the organization the leader is in! His mission this time was.. to go overseas and decapitate someone. That meant that the person must be a huge and powerful figure!

Ye Jian felt her heart shuddering when she thought about this. She wanted to warn him again but she noticed that he didn’t even have the energy to open his eyes anymore, she sighed.

“Didn’t you say that you were very tired when you sent me to my hotel yesterday night? Do you need to go back and get some sleep? You haven’t slept the entire night. Hurry up and sleep. Don’t talk anymore. I don’t want to listen either!” Ye Jian pulled his arm forcefully and wanted to let him lie on the bed so that he could sleep comfortably for a while.

He was a soldier as well as a comrade that she had worked together with. If she couldn’t understand his hardships, who could?

Comrades would always understand each other’s pain.

Xia Jinyuan didn’t want to open his eyes when she pulled his arm. He didn’t even have any intention of moving.

There was a small smile on the corner of his lips as he breathed softly. His voice was extremely light as she coaxed her, “Be obedient. I know that I have to keep the mission a secret. I have never forgotten about it. You can get some sleep too. I will rest for a while. Just now, Brother Zi caught me and forced me to talk to him for more than two hours. When I went back to my room, I had other issues to settle so I didn’t get any sleep before I came here.”

After looking at the message G3 sent over, he started thinking about K7. By the time he regained his senses, it was already 3 am. Then, he came over to look for her.
