Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Shocking News

She also secretly guessed that the Americans probably noticed something was wrong and so started a wide-ranging alert, just didn’t know if Jiang Kechu and his team had succeeded.

Wan Chu’er estimated that Jiang Kechu and his team only had six minutes to act, or rather, they could only act for five minutes before they had to retreat within one minute.

Because once the system was hacked, it would be discovered within no more than one minute.

As soon as the Seal Team realized there was an issue with the system, they would definitely be alarmed and take action.

Fortunately, the two K-country soldiers in front of her were just dawdling, disobedient to the commands of the M-country Seal Team and did not search thoroughly.

That was a false alarm!

After the people walked away, Ma Yanmei whispered, "Let’s go!"

The two of them proceeded in the dark again, this time moving even faster than before, so fast that by the end it could be described as sprinting.

Strangely, this time Wan Chu’er didn’t trip and fall.

Luckily, Wan Chu’er always insisted on running regularly. They ran for two hours and were panting heavily by the time they slowed down. They had run more than thirty kilometers, but the hotel they were staying at in the capital was still far away.

Finally, Ma Yanmei stole an old car by the roadside, Wan Chu’er looked at her with sparkling eyes as Ma Yanmei started the car with a few tries, and couldn’t help saying:

"Sister Ma, when we get back, can you teach me how to do this?"

Her tone couldn’t hide her excitement. Ma Yanmei hesitated, thinking, are all the female university students from the first university this tough and wild?

She said, "You better learn from Captain Jiang, he’s much better than me."

Wan Chu’er pouted, Jiang Kechu definitely wouldn’t teach her willingly, then she suddenly realized she didn’t even know how to drive.

Well, better learn to drive first.

When they were still a good distance from the hotel in the city center, they abandoned the car and proceeded on foot again.

By the time they reached the hotel, it was already slightly bright outside. They lowered their hats on their heads as much as possible to avoid attracting attention and went upstairs.

After a quick wash-up, they collapsed into bed, it had been a draining and tense night.

Wan Chu’er was sleeping soundly but was woken up by someone shaking her.

She jerked awake reflexively and sat up, "What happened?" She thought there was some emergency.

Could it be that her hacking into the K-country’s power system or sabotaging the Seal Team’s system was discovered? But that can’t be, she was sure she did everything carefully and clean up all traces afterward.

Seeing Wan Chu’er’s pale face, Ma Yanmei quickly assured her, "It’s nothing, it’s nothing."

Then Wan Chu’er saw the calm Ma Yanmei and sighed, "Sister Ma, what is it?"

"Mr. Damler would like to invite you for a lunch."

Lunch? With Damler?

Wan Chu’er was momentarily confused, she fell back onto the bed and mumbled, "No time, need to sleep," and closed her eyes to sleep again.

Ma Yanmei staggered, this girl must be muddled from sleep.

By the time Wan Chu’er was in the car sent by Damler to pick her up, half the journey later, she slowly came to her senses.

She glanced at the rearview mirror and yawned stealthily, thinking: President Damel sure is enthusiastic, inviting her for a lunch like this.

She wondered how Jiang Kechu and the others were doing, had they settled everything? When would they leave Country K?

Would she return on the same flight with them tonight, or would they find another way to leave Country K first?

Wan Chu’er’s thoughts raced as her car smoothly entered President Damel’s estate.

"Dear Chu, come over here, my child." Old Mr. Damel stood at the doorway waiting for her, and as soon as he saw her get out of the car, he smiled kindly and waved at her.

Wan Chu’er couldn’t help but smile in return; indeed, smiles are contagious.

"Hello, Mr. Damel."

The two of them enjoyed a pleasant lunch together, featuring the distinct flavors of Country K.

After the meal, they strolled slowly through his estate, chatting.

Damel said, "You are just like your father, a sincere person, it’s unfortunate that your father is gone."

Wan Chu’er cast her eyes down, then looked up and smiled, "Mr. Damel, if you don’t mind, could you share with me the story between you and my father? In fact, I didn’t spend much time with my dad and I’d like to know more about him."

Upon hearing this, a hint of pity appeared on Damel’s face, then he said gently:

"That year, when I visited your country, one night as I got out of the car after returning to the hotel, suddenly someone rushed out trying to take my life. Everyone was panicked, unsure what to do. At that moment, your father, like a hero descended from the heavens, kicked the gun out of that man’s hand and then shielded me as we entered the elevator.

For the next two days, your father was always by my side ensuring my safety.

He was a very cautious man, extremely calm in any sudden situations, seemingly unflustered, as if there was nothing he couldn’t handle."

Listening to this, Wan Chu’er felt a mix of pride and sorrow. She was proud that her father was held in such high regard, yet deeply saddened that such a wonderful man couldn’t live longer, just like Bai Zhixi, gone from her life far too soon.

Wan Shiguo still owed her a promise he had never fulfilled. She vividly remembered that when she was eight years old, Wan Shiguo had promised to take her to see the ocean and to go fishing at sea.

Unfortunately, that promise could never be fulfilled now.

Sensing Wan Chu’er’s sadness, Damel couldn’t help but pat her shoulder.

"Oh, my poor Chu, your father definitely wouldn’t want to see you so sad, and neither do I."

Wan Chu’er nodded and thanked him.

Damel continued: "I know as a military man, sacrifices are inevitable. Your father was a great man.

I heard that he and his four comrades were on a mission in Country H when they sacrificed their lives, but what puzzles me is that your country and Country H were supposed to be friendly. Also, Country H has always been cautious; how could such an incident happen?

Yesterday after you left, I had some inquiries made, and it seems there has been no conflict between your country and Country H."

Damel’s words hit her like a thunderbolt, shocking Wan Chu’er so severely that she turned pale, her eyes wide with astonishment as she stared at Damel speechlessly.

Wan Shiguo died in Country H?! She had always thought he died while executing a mission domestically.

That’s right, when Wan Shiguo died, she was still young, utterly unaware of the specifics. At that time, it felt as if the sky had collapsed and she could only cry.

She tried to remember, but there was no detail about the specific condition of Wan Shiguo’s death.

They only informed her and Bai Zhixi that Wan Shiguo had unfortunate...
