Chapter 148

“… Still no? Okay, got it.” He Jingyan asked someone to check on the footage of all the security cameras on Long Chen’s way back from Zuo Bo’s prison to the army, but his subordinate reported that he did not see Long Chen. He Jingyan frowned because Zuo Bo had searched everywhere he could but still failed to find him, and he had no news, either. Where exactly did Long Chen go? Did anything happen to him?

Suddenly, He Jingyan’s eyes became dangerous as if he had remembered something. He dialed a number, and his face became even more sullen when he heard the report.

“Are you sure he didn’t come out of the hospital?” He Jingyan confirmed again.

“No, Mr. Long Qi has not left the hospital these months.” The man said with certainty.

‘Was it not Long Qi? But judging from Zuo Bo’s anxious tone, the case may not be as simple as that. He would only become anxious when he was facing Long Qi.’

He Jingyan pondered for a moment and then asked, “Does he have any visitor?”

‘For someone like Long Qi, he probably won’t do it himself. If that’s the case, it’s very likely that he has had someone executing his schemes for him.’

But being asked about this, the man on the phone suddenly started to falter. He looked in a dilemma to speak up, which made He Jingyan, who had already felt irritated, immediately fly into a rage. Even the man on the phone did not see He Jingyan himself, but he had already shivered and said with no delay, “A few hours ago, your father came to see Long Qi.”

‘Is… Colonel He angry now?’

The subordinate was so scared that his forehead was sweating.

‘My father? Why would my dad visit Long Qi?’ He Jingyan, who heard this, froze. And then his gaze became sharp and ruthless; even his voice became colder. Suddenly, he said, “How long has he been there?”

“About ten minutes.” Hearing He Jingyan’s tone, the subordinate shivered even harder and he could barely speak fluently.

After He Jingyan finished his sentence, he suddenly hung up the phone. That all most scared the piss out of the subordinate, but fortunately he held it back.

After He Jingyan hung up the phone, he immediately dialed He Bingwei’s number. He immediately asked when the call was answered, “Why did you go to see Long Qi?” His tone was so cold that it was frightening.

Of course He Bingwei would be furious when he heard that! He roared, “Brat! I can forgive you for not calling me but how can you give me attitude like this?!” However, he was not really angry. What he said sounded more like he was blaming He Jingyan for not contacting him often.

But He Jingyan didn’t have time to joke around, so he asked even more seriously and coldly, “Why did you go to see Long Qi?”

Hearing He Jingyan’s tone again, He Bingwei was fiery, but he still managed to control his temper and said, “That is a classified matter. It’s not something you, a little colonel, should know.”

That “little colonel” He Bingwei just said made He Jingyan’s face fall because He Bingwei wasn’t despising his military rank, but was actually implying that he was only a child. That was understandable because no matter how old the child was, he or she would forever be the kid in parents’ hearts.

“Tell Long Chen as well as Zuo Bo to stay away from him.” Just as He Jingyan was having a fit, He Bingwei suddenly said with a serious tone.

He Jingyan didn’t know why He Bingwei went to see Long Qi, and that was the first time he heard such strict warning from He Bingwei. Therefore, He Jingyan felt even more worried and the look on his face was scary.
