As for whether to bring Eric Jiang along for the next move, everyone fell silent for a moment.
Charles Yin said, "Take him! If I were him, and the mission to save my wife went on without me, I'd regret it for the rest of my life!"
Cecilia Gu nodded, "The person my sister wants to see most right now is definitely her husband."
Max Mo sighed, "Alright, I guess as a lifelong bachelor, I can't really relate to that feeling."
Cecilia Gu glanced at Max Mo with a hint of guilt.
But Max Mo just gave Cecilia Gu a warm look.
Alex quickly helped the sleeping Eric Jiang into the car, and the group quietly headed toward the mountain.
To avoid being detected by Yiran, they didn't leave all at once. Instead, they split into several groups, each pretending to have a different destination, and slowly made their way in that direction.
Nightfall gradually approached, providing perfect cover for their operation.
Even the patrols that should have noticed them ended up missing them altogether.
At this moment, the guards stationed halfway up the mountain were having dinner.
Someone had prepared food and brought it over to them.
Ugh, tofu stew with greens again tonight! Eating this every meal is getting old!" complained a man in his thirties. "How many days has it been? Can't we have something different?
A man in jungle camouflage came over, sat beside him, took the lunchbox and said, "Just eat! After this job, we'll get a hundred thousand. You can eat whatever you want then! Be grateful you have food while working. All we do is patrol here, it's easy money. You want to make big bucks, you gotta be patient! Our boss is loaded! Just think, anything from the mountaintop is worth a fortune!"
Old Chen, who do you think that guy at the top of the mountain is?" Old Zhou stopped complaining and asked curiously, "Why is he forcing that girl to have his child?
Shh, keep your voice down." Old Chen looked around cautiously, then whispered, "I heard from the higher-ups that our boss has always had a crush on that girl. She rejected him, so out of spite, he kidnapped her."
Wow, rich people really know how to play." Old Zhou was intrigued. "I think the boss is pretty good-looking, very handsome! Such a pretty boy, I almost...
Old Chen gave him a look. "Forget it, you can't afford to aim that high."
I was just thinking out loud." Old Zhou grinned. "I wouldn't dare make a move. By the way, when are we getting relieved? I'm dying to go into town and relax for a bit."
Another three to five days and it'll be over." Old Chen quickly finished his last bite and said, "Stay sharp. We're the first line of defense here. If anyone comes, we have to stop them, no matter what."
