C208 An Ominous Premonition

Lee Zhong said coldly, "There are no outsiders here. Just say what you want to say!"

"I know. You are still brooding over my past. ” Zhou Hongzhi sighed and said, "But you also know the situation at that time. If I do not let you leave the army... You will have to be court-martialed. If that is the case, the situation will be even worse. Later, I sent people to look for you everywhere, but there was no news from you. If I didn't see you here today, I would have thought... I would never see you again in my life."

"It would be best if we never meet again." Lee Zhong remained unmoved. His voice was still cold.

Zhou Hongzhi knew that he would not be able to resolve the knot in Lee Zhong's heart for a while, so he said, "Whether you understand my feelings at that time or not, whether you are willing to forgive me, I have one thing that I hope to get your help with."

"What is it? Tell me." Lee Zhong slightly loosened his grip.

"What did you see when you rescued Yuen Xi in the courtyard in Back of the Tianloong Mountain?" Zhou Hongzhi asked seriously.

"I saw a group of men in black inside," Lee Zhong sneered. "What? Are you interested in them?"

"Are they using guns and cannons?" Zhou Hongzhi asked.

"Yes, why?" Lee Zhong said disapprovingly.

"To tell you the truth, a batch of resources were stolen somewhere. I was ordered by my superior to come to Nanhua to investigate this matter. I suspect that this batch of resources fell into the hands of these criminals." Zhou Hongzhi said truthfully.

"What does the theft of your resources have to do with me? This is all I know, and I can only provide you with this little clue. Can I leave now?" Lee Zhong said impatiently.

All these years, the matter of being expelled by the army had always been a pain in Lee Zhong's heart. He had long been disheartened by the matters of the army and did not want to participate in their operation at all.

"Well, you can leave now, but I still thank you." Zhou Hongzhi understood Lee Zhong's current mood and said, "I hope that we can have a few drinks together when we have the chance to express my apology."

Lee Zhong looked at the epaulet on Zhou Hongzhi's military uniform and asked, "If I am not wrong, you are now a major general, right?"

"Yes." Zhou Hongzhi nodded and said.

"I am a peasant. I can't climb the social ladder." Lee Zhong stood up from the sofa and said, "Sorry, I have to go home and rest. I have to come and pick Director Yuen up to work tomorrow morning."

"Alright, everyone has their own ambitions. We can't force you. Since you are not willing to cooperate with us, I won't keep you!" Zhou Hongzhi also stood up.

After Lee Zhong turned around and walked out of Yuen Dongyuan's house, Zhou Min came to her father's side and asked, "What happened between you and Lee Zhong in the past?"

"Sigh, let's not talk about the past." Zhou Hongzhi sighed and said to his daughter, "Why did you call me? What do you mean by that?"

"I suspect that those guys are related to the stolen goods case. I want you to mobilize the local garrison and go to Heavenly Dragon Mountain to arrest those criminals." Zhou Min said truthfully.

"That's what I mean too," Zhou Hongzhi said firmly. "I will call the big boss now and ask him to send people to cooperate with us."

Zhou Hongzhi took out a company phone from his pocket and dialed a special number.

After the call, Zhou Hongzhi told the big boss about what happened in Back of the Tianloong Mountain tonight, as well as the important clues provided by Zhou Min, Lee Zhong, and Yuen Xi.

The big boss immediately instructed that they must catch up with the stolen goods and ask Zhou Hongzhi to immediately head to the garrison base in Nanhua and gather the troops to advance to Heavenly Dragon Mountain to take action in time.

After Zhou Hongzhi finished the phone call with the big boss, he stood up from the sofa and said to Yuen Dongyuan, "Dong Yuan, I still have to go on a mission. I won't disturb you guys anymore. You guys should rest early."

Yuen Dongyuan nodded and said, "Alright, I won't waste your precious time. After you finish your task, come back home. When the time comes, I will accompany brother-in-law to have a drink."

Zhou Min also stood up from the sofa with her father and said to Yuen Dongyuan, "Uncle, since we have safely sent Yuen Xi home, my mission will be completed. Goodbye!"

As she said that, she followed her father to the door of the room and was ready to leave.

"Cousin, wait!" Yuen Xi saw that Zhou Hongzhi and Zhou Min took their leave and quickly chased after them.

Zhou Min turned around and asked, "Yuen Xi, what is it?"

"I don't want to stay at home. I want to go with you to your house and talk to you!" Yuen Xi said earnestly.1

Zhou Min understood Yuen Xi's thoughts and looked at Yuen Dongyuan with a questioning look. She asked, "Uncle, can I take Yuen Xi away?"

"Of course," Yuen Dongyuan nodded and said, "But tomorrow morning, you have to send her to school early in the morning."

"No problem!" Zhou Min nodded and held Yuen Xi's arm, preparing to leave her uncle's home with her father.

"Xi, wait a moment. I have something to tell you." Yuen Dongyuan called his daughter to the side and took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to his daughter. He said, "You are already so old. You must learn to protect yourself. Don't go crazy outside, if anything happens to me... You will take over my company. I will put the contract with Lawyer Wang, the First Law Firm in Nanhua. When the time comes, you can contact him using the contact information on the business card... "

"Dad, what do you mean?" Yuen Xi asked in shock.

"Nothing. I just want to leave a way out for myself." Yuen Dongyuan smiled and said, "You can go with Min. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay," Yuen Xi nodded. She put the business card into a black bag on her back and said. "Dad, take care!"

Finishing, Yuen Xi went forward to hold Zhou Min's hand and left with Zhou Hongzhi. Yuen Dongyuan and Liu Hongli sent them to the door of their villa.

Yuen Xi sat in the Mitsubishi off-road vehicle that Zhou Min drove over. Zhou Hongzhi sat in the Hummer that sent him over. After that, the two cars left the Nanhua Island villa area, one in front and one behind.

After Zhou Hongzhi and his daughter left with Yuen Xi, the two of them returned to the living room on the first floor of the villa.

Liu Hongli saw that Yuen Dongyuan and her daughter were talking mysteriously at the side. After sending her daughter away, she showed a worried look and asked with concern.

"Old Yuan, Yuen Xi has been rescued safely. What else do you have to worry about?"

Yuen Dongyuan said with melancholy, "In the past few days, our Yuen Xi has been kidnapped many times. I estimate that the other party will have a big plot."

"What conspiracy?" Liu Hongli asked in confusion.

Yuen Dongyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know exactly what conspiracy it is. It might be related to a new technology project that our company developed."

"It can't be, right?" Liu Hongli said in surprise, "The technology project that your company developed is so secretive. No one should know about it."

"You are right." Yuen Dongyuan realized that he had misspoken and said, "It is very likely that I have worried too much."

"Yes." Liu Hongli looked at the clock on the wall and said, "Old Yuan, since Yuen Xi has escaped danger, you don't have to think about so many things. Your health is more important and it is not early. You should go and take a shower first. Then go to sleep early."

"Then... Alright!" Yuen Dongyuan felt Liu Hongli's words made sense, so he nodded, turned around, and walked towards the bedroom upstairs.

Looking at Yuen Dongyuan's figure when he went upstairs, Liu Hongli revealed an unnoticeable smile on her face, then took out her phone and secretly made a call.
