“Chief, I know what I’m doing.”

On the way back, Elder Qu’s footsteps were heavier than before, and his back was bent quite a bit.

“Old Chief.” Elder Qu’s security guard looked at Elder Qu and called out with a worried face.

Elder Qu waved his hand at him, indicating that he was fine. “Go back.” Elder Qu’s voice was a little hoarse.

Looking at him, Uncle Zhao was very worried. The first thing he thought of was to call the little miss and tell her what happened. After what happened last time, Chen Meng’er’s position in Uncle Zhao’s heart suddenly rose high. Chen Meng’er could also be considered Uncle Zhao’s idol.

When he returned home, Elder Qu locked himself in his room. He, who usually did not smoke, took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer and smoked one after another.

Madam Qu was outside the door, listening to the coughing sounds coming from the study. Her usually smiling face was now furrowed tightly. She turned to ask Uncle Zhao, “Little Zhao, what happened to my husband?”

“Madam, I don’t know either. I only know that the higher-ups called the old chief over to speak. As for what he said, I don’t have the right to know. Should we give the little miss a call? Maybe the little miss is…” Uncle Zhao did not finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Madam Qu.

“Forget it. Meng’er has had enough things to do recently. Just the matter from last time is already enough to tire her out. Let’s not bother her anymore.” Madam Qu’s heart ached for her granddaughter. However, Madam Qu could not help but look up worriedly at the tightly shut study room.

Elder Qu smoked more than half a pack of cigarettes in the study room. The smoke in the study room was so thick that his face could not be seen. He coughed heavily and then sighed deeply. In the end, he made up his mind, he put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray. Then he picked up the phone and called Chen Meng’er.

What a coincidence. Elder Qu called Chen Meng’er, and Chen Meng’er picked up the phone.

The moment Chen Meng’er picked up the phone, Elder Qu heard his granddaughter’s crisp voice on the other end of the phone. He hesitated again. He felt that he could not bear to place the heavy responsibility of the country on his precious granddaughter.

“Hello, Grandpa, what happened?” Chen Meng’er listened to the silence on the other end of the phone. She knew that something must have happened to Elder Qu.

......

“Meng’er.” After a long time, Elder Qu’s dry and hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Grandpa, what happened to you? If there’s anything, just tell me directly. I’m your granddaughter,” Chen Meng’er deliberately added this last sentence.

“Meng’er, you’ve always been my most precious granddaughter. Sigh, Meng’er, I didn’t even want to call you. But, I had to.” Elder Qu couldn’t help but sigh again. “Little girl, I am only passing on the message from the higher-ups. Whether you accept or not, the decision is still in your hands. Don’t force yourself to agree just because you’re worried about us. This is not what I want to see.”

It was rare for Chen Meng’er to see Elder Qu being so wishy-washy, but the more Elder Qu was like this, the more Chen Meng’er was even more uncertain in her heart. “Grandpa, say it. Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing,” Chen Meng’er said as she wracked her mind. Why were the higher-ups looking for Elder Qu?

However, Chen Meng’er didn’t remember anything. She only remembered that she seemed to have told Zhou Yunjie that the Green Gang’s intelligence network should not be too involved with the country’s military secrets. Because sometimes, the more they knew, the worse it was.

“Your father took a team of special force soldiers to a mountain forest at the border between Province Y and Country M. Originally, this was just a mission as usual. However, after they entered a certain point in the mountain forest, they suddenly lost contact with the headquarters. It was sudden, without any warning. After your father’s team lost contact with the headquarters, the headquarters sent another team of special forces to assist and investigate the matter. However, when this team reached the place where your father’s team lost contact with the headquarters, they also suddenly lost contact. Because of this, the higher-ups came to me and said that they wanted you to personally bring some people over to take a look at the situation.” After saying that, Elder Qu paused for a moment before continuing, “Girl, I didn’t agree with the higher-ups. I said that I would come back and think about it. Girl, whether you agree to this matter or not, it’s up to you to decide.”

“Grandpa, are you saying that Dad can no longer be contacted?” Chen Meng’er grasped the main point of Elder Qu’s words and asked.

“Yes.”

“Grandpa, why didn’t you say earlier that Dad had lost contact with this matter? I don’t care about other matters, but it concerns the safety of my family members. How could I sit idly by?” Speaking up to this point, Chen Meng’er paused for a moment, then she continued, “Grandpa, you don’t have to worry about this matter. I will contact the person above myself. I will definitely make a trip there. At least, I have to ensure that Dad is safe and sound. However, since the person above is scheming against me, I won’t just let it go. I have to make him pay some interest.” Chen Meng’er had a plan in her heart.

“Sweetie, don’t force yourself. Do you know how dangerous that place is? Do you know how dangerous your father’s mission this time is? It’s precisely because I know how dangerous it is that I don’t want you to get involved.” Elder Qu did not let out a sigh of relief because Chen Meng’er agreed so readily, on the contrary, his brows furrowed even tighter.

“I know. Isn’t it just that our country and Country M’s biggest drug lord and arms dealer are hiding somewhere? I can roughly guess what father and the others are going to do this time. Grandpa, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. Are you still not at ease with what I’m doing?” Chen Meng’er was quite interested in the drug lord and arms dealer hidden deep in the mountain forest.
