Chapter 3460: Escape

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Let’s go, Azure Bird.”

A low and cold voice came from behind. Ye Jian turned her head. Xia Jinyuan, who had ended his call with the military, strode over. “The Asian man has been arrested. The last target escaped. Let’s return to the small hotel for the time being.”

Ye Jian was shocked.

Why did they let the last target escape? Wasn’t he always within surveillance? How could he still escape?

“The Asian man had a special chip implanted in his body. During the pursuit, the special chip was turned off. In the end, the target immediately became vigilant and escaped. We’re doing a tight search at airports and train stations. The entire city’s surveillance cameras have been activated. The police force has increased…”

Xia Jinyuan met up with White Crane and quickly told Ye Jian what happened. “Now, the military has determined that Li Chuhai not only has foreign underground forces behind him but also foreign military support. If not, it’s impossible for the Asian man to have a special chip that’s connected to the satellite system.

Ye Jian’s expression turned serious when she heard that. It wasn’t as simple as capturing the last target. With the support of other countries’ military… this involved national security.

The rise of their country made many other countries feel threatened. The influence of the rise of a great power was far-reaching. How could some countries hope to see a great power rise?

They were afraid that the rise of a great country would pose a threat to them. They were afraid that the rise of a great country would divert limited resources, so they needed to think of ways to break the current situation and think of ways to suppress the great country.

These were not things that Ye Jian could come into contact with and understand. Only people with important ident.i.ties like Xia Jinyuan and Qin Xiu would understand a little.

When she heard this, Ye Jian pursed her lips into a straight line. She pursed her lips again and asked, “Captain Xia, I want to ask who the final target is. You’ve been avoiding answering me. During meetings, you released photos of the Asian man but you didn’t tell me who the mastermind is… Do I know him?” If that wasn’t the case, why did he have to hide it from her?

She knew that the military, the National Defense, and the Military Disciplinary Committee had locked onto the mastermind. She also knew why the mastermind wanted to kill her mother. She knew all of this, but… she didn’t know who the mastermind was. Why were they hiding it from her?

Why were they hiding?

Since the military had shown her the photo of the Asian man, why didn’t they let her know who the real mastermind was?

Why?

She couldn’t understand. She needed Captain Xia to explain.

Xia Jinyuan felt that the military was cunning. They always threw such a difficult problem at him. If he had known… If he had known, he wouldn’t have asked who the mastermind was!

He had asked and gotten the answer. Now, he had to hide it for the time being. However, Ye Jian was asking again. She even got to the main point. Should he answer?

After pondering for a moment, Xia Jinyuan said, “You might know him or you might not. You probably haven’t seen him, but you have interacted with people related to him.”

Even if he didn’t say who it was, with Azure Bird’s intelligence, it wouldn’t take long for her to guess who it might be.

“Is it because I know someone who’s related to the mastermind that it’s inconvenient for you to reveal it? Also, this person has an extraordinary relations.h.i.+p with the person I know, right?”

If Ye Jian wasn’t smart, she wouldn’t have been able to survive in such a difficult place in her previous life..
