She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1190: Chapter 1254: The Plan

Xu Qigang half-closed his eyes, carefully observing the surrounding environment and layout, unintentionally catching sight of the distant Four-Courtyard House.

”Is this Shen Yu’s Four-Courtyard House?”

Chen Yingjie was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, ”I don’t know.”

Last time when Shen Yu was captured, Xu Qigang and Chen Yingjie weren’t there as they were already within S country’s borders. It was Shangguan Tao who led the team, and at this moment, upon hearing Xu Qigang suddenly mention it, Shangguan Tao looked up in the direction Xu Qigang had just glanced.

Suddenly, his whole body seemed to be soaked in ice water.

”Indeed, Captain, how did you discover it?” Li Xia’s lurking spot was around Shen Yu’s Four-Courtyard House, claiming there’s no connection was ridiculous; he might as well take off his head and use it as a football.

This was a huge mistake on his part.

Shangguan Tao was filled with self-blame, grateful the Captain noticed in time; otherwise, missing this detail would have been disastrous.

”Seeing the Four-Courtyard House made me think of it.” Xu Qigang’s expression became increasingly grave, pointing to an inconspicuous house at the rear right side of the Four-Courtyard House, ”It’s there, Chen Yingjie, remember you left a signal for me there.”

”That’s right, it’s there.” Upon mentioning it, Chen Yingjie finally recalled, ”The situation was urgent at the time, didn’t pay much attention. No wonder I kept feeling it was familiar but couldn’t remember.”

”Let’s move! It’s there, let’s eliminate it first.” Xu Qigang felt an unease in his heart, but with the arrow on the string, there’s no turning back. He had to complete the task, talk later.

This is where Ruan usually brings people for operations, fearing they’d be caught all in one sweep, he always acted separately from Li Xia. This woman, full of crafty ideas and extremely smart, even if Ruan looked down on women, he still acknowledged her.

The house looks small from the outside, but inside it has a huge courtyard covered with dense, low buildings, so the actual area is not small at all.

At the time, the reason for choosing this place was also Li Xia’s idea. She believed Shen Yu’s Four-Courtyard House had something she wanted, but as it was being watched, she dared not act recklessly and found a nearby place to reside, slowly digging a tunnel.

Even if it meant digging, she wanted to dig out a hole.

At this moment, the courtyard was gathered with more than fifty people, all of whom had just entered the border. Each bore a sinister demeanor, their eyes exuding ruthlessness when looking at others.

”Where did Ruan go?” someone asked in Southern Border dialect.

”Shut up, don’t speak Southern Border dialect, be careful not to be discovered.” The person who had just spoken was kicked harshly to the ground.

Actually, those summoned here could all speak Mandarin. Southern Border connects with the mainland, even before the fighting, there were some trades at the border. Most of these hired soldiers were born in border mountain areas or similar places, having been exposed to Mandarin since childhood; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been chosen by Ruan.

”Get lost! Dare to hit me, believe it or not I’ll shoot you dead?”

”You dare.”

”Watch me dare.”

As they spoke, they started fighting, with fists landing hard, but hadn’t hit a few times before wanting to draw their guns. However, having secretly crossed the border, their guns were long gone. They could only cease fighting.

Among this group, the only guns and bullets were smuggled in at great risk. Originally, Li Xia’s plan was to buy from the black market, but didn’t expect the existing black market to be wiped out.

”Stop fighting, just because Ruan isn’t here doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want.” Someone stepped forward to scold.
