Chapter 1227: Chapter 1246 Mission

"I don’t think that’s necessarily the case," Huo Beijiang abhorred Leng Peixi from the bottom of his heart.

"Commander, Leng Peixi sent a message, wants to see you, seems to have something to tell you," Ning Di hesitated for a long time before finally getting the words out.

Huo Beijiang’s demeanor suddenly changed, his eyes sharp and frightening. He slowly clenched his fist and said word by word, "Tell her to go to hell."

"Okay!" Ning Di nodded earnestly, "I will make sure the message is passed on."

This guy turned out to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing as well.

Ning Di had just left when Huo Kewei followed, entering the study and complaining, "Uncle, you’re actually hiding in the study and sneaking a smoke."

Huo Beijiang wished he could punch this idiot to save his enemies.

Was he using this as an excuse to hide and sneak a smoke?

Just then, from outside the study came Nan Fei’s voice, filled with suspicion, "Bei Jiang, are you hiding in the study to sneak a smoke? I think I can smell cigarette smoke."

"No!" Huo Beijiang firmly denied, "Wife, I’m discussing something with the chief right now! I’ll be done soon."

Nan Fei heard that he was discussing business, so she didn’t push the door but walked towards Jiang Yang instead.

Huo Kewei witnessed his uncle’s cowardly appearance and laughed uproariously, "Hahaha... Uncle..."

"Shut up!"

"Yes, sir!" Huo Kewei immediately put on a serious face, saluting, "Reporting to the commander, Huo Kewei is present. Do you have any orders?"

"I need you to go to M country."

"Eh? Go to M country?" Huo Kewei asked, puzzled, "Is there some task you want me to complete?"

"Of course, there’s a task," Huo Beijiang said as he took a kraft paper bag from the desk and tossed it to Huo Kewei.

Huo Kewei fumbled to catch it and upon opening it, his face changed color. The further down he read, the paler his face became, and finally, he trembled as he said, "This... how can this be? Uncle, this can’t be real, right?"

"I wish it weren’t real," Huo Beijiang said with his head lowered, his expression not clearly visible.

Now Huo Kewei finally understood why his uncle was hiding in the study to sneak a smoke. If it had been him, he would have done the same, and maybe even drowned his sorrows in booze.

"So what are you going to do, uncle?"

"I have to go back to my wife’s hometown with your aunt, we’ll leave tomorrow, and be back in at most half a month," instructed Huo Beijiang, "I’ll leave the M country matter to you. I can’t leave the country under my identity currently, and after thinking it through, only you are the most suitable for the job. If you’re afraid of not understanding the situation, take Fu Xinwu with you."

"Okay!" Huo Kewei nodded seriously, assuring, "Uncle, rest assured, Xinwu and I will definitely complete the task."

Huo Beijiang’s lips curled up slightly, forming a faint smile, "Good!"

"Mm!" Huo Kewei rubbed his eyes, greeted Nan Fei with Huo Beijiang as they left the study, and then took his leave.

"Hey! Ke Wei, won’t you stay a bit longer?" Nan Fei saw him leave as soon as he arrived, out of politeness, she held back, "You could stay for dinner before leaving."

"Auntie, it’s okay, I have things to attend to!" Huo Kewei waved his hand and nodded to Jiang Yang before hurriedly departing.

"Alright then! I won’t see you out," Nan Fei, dressed in a soft cashmere sweater and a comfortable cashmere skirt, stood in the living room. Her pale delicate face, although still a bit pale, no longer showed the pain and haggardness from the day before.

Huo Beijiang stood at the entrance of the study with his hands in his pockets, his gaze piercing as he stared, unaware of the incredible weight in his eyes.

Jiang Yang noticed, staring at him sharply.
