She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1197: Chapter 1264: The Opportunity Arrives

”Sit down and read a novel.” Li Xia nodded to Su Yun and followed her inside.

Once her figure disappeared behind the door, Su Yun quietly stood up. Having lived here for so long, she always felt something was off. Clearly, Sinong was the boss, and Li Xia had joined her, but when they talked, Sinong was always at a disadvantage.

In other aspects, she might not be smart, but having served as Captain for half her life, she understood better than anyone how superiors and subordinates should interact.

It was obvious at a glance that Sinong was the subordinate, and Li Xia was the superior.

If that’s the case, why were they pretending?

Su Yun was very curious; she stealthily crept up to the door and listened carefully.

Inside the room, Sinong took a big gulp of cold water, finally catching her breath.

”Captain, something’s wrong, there’s been an incident.”

”Speak slowly.” Li Xia had her suspicions, but as the leader, she had to remain calm. If she panicked, her subordinates would be even more anxious.

”Ruan’s in trouble, I... I didn’t even get close before I found out the sentries I set up were all removed.”

”Did you go in afterward?”

Sinong shook her head, ”I didn’t dare, afraid there’d be a trap inside.”

”You did the right thing; they’re surely lying in wait to catch us!” Losing so many people at once made Li Xia’s vision go black for a moment; all her painstaking efforts, and those who were lost were all her direct subordinates.

”Any... any other news?”

”Yes!” Sinong said through gritted teeth, ”We just got word that Shen Yu is finally out of prison.”

”How could he have been released?” The news was so sudden, she had been keeping an eye on Shen Yu, prepared to wait patiently for the right opportunity, but now that it had come so unexpectedly, she couldn’t help but suspect it was another trap.

”It’s said... he’s going to pay respects to his mother.”

Li Xia’s eyes lit up, ”Here’s our chance, let’s move.”

”But there are only the three of us now, including you and me.” The other person was the one Li Xia had sent out to track Shen Yu—Yoda.

”It’s enough! Once we’re allied with Shen Yu, he knows the local terrain and will definitely have a way. Then, whether it’s killing the Living Yama or Meng Xingzhi, it won’t be a problem.”

”Hiss...” Hearing the talk about killing Meng Xingzhi, Su Yun, hiding outside the door, couldn’t help but take a sharp breath. My God! What has she gotten herself into?

How could she have mixed with enemy agents?

Su Yun’s head buzzed as if countless bees were buzzing inside. Past details flashed through her mind, making her skin crawl.

”Who’s there?” Sinong shouted loudly.

Li Xia quickly gave her a look, signaling her to keep quiet, while simultaneously reaching for the gun at her side, speaking in a friendly tone, ”Su Yun, is that you? It’s okay, come in and sit.”

The two of them slowly walked toward the door; when they pulled it open, the outside was already empty.

”Damn it!” Li Xia cursed furiously; she couldn’t believe it. All because that Su Yun usually acted so stupidly, lulling her into a false sense of security. She had forgotten Su Yun had been a comrade for decades and was once a Captain.

After all, a comrade’s basic instincts aren’t completely lost.

”What do we do, Captain?” Sinong anxiously wanted to chase after her, but Li Xia grabbed her arm.

”It’s too late, let’s go rescue Shen Yu first.”
