Chapter 133 Receiving the News
When we got back to the villa, it was already dawn, past six in the morning.
Peng Jiahao sat in the hall, watching them return, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected that they would actually complete the mission.
"Ahui, Peng Ying, how are things?"
He didn't care at all that Dan Kun and the others hadn't returned; all he cared about was whether the mission was completed.
"Godfather, the mission is complete. Everyone in the village is dead. Before we left, we set a huge fire to destroy all traces!"
"Well done, you've worked hard!"
Peng Ying feigned sadness and lowered her head.
"But the second brother and the other two were unfortunately killed in battle. I originally wanted to save them, but a rocket came and I had no way to save them..."
Peng Jiahao squinted, lit a cigar, and showed no sign of sadness.
"I'm already so glad you're back. Min-tun and the others are just a matter of fate; it's destiny, and no one can change it. You don't need to blame yourselves. Tell me what happened tonight!"
Chen Hui and Peng Ying had already discussed this on their way back, and they recounted the events of the evening without any loopholes.
At first, they went smoothly, entering Dongshan Village and avoiding the minefield. Everything went very well until Min Tun was hit by a rocket and died on the spot.
As for Dankun, he was ambushed and killed while finishing off an enemy.
Suoyang was ambushed and killed by two men in the woods when he entered the dungeon behind the village. He was walking in front and was the first to be ambushed.
Afterwards, he and Peng Ying dealt with the hostages, set a large fire, and then returned.
Peng Jiahao listened intently, pondering as he went, looking for any loopholes. Only after finding nothing suspicious did he relax and look at the two men.
"Good job. You haven't slept all night, go get some sleep."
"It's my godfather!"
The two turned around and went back to their room to sleep.
Peng Jiahao still had a cigar in his hand, but he didn't take a puff. He was still thinking about what Chen Hui and Peng Ying had said earlier, looking for any loopholes. After confirming that everything was correct, he left.
He picked up the satellite phone and dialed.
"General Bai, it's all taken care of!"
"good!"
"However, General Bai, Saikan and his people will probably not let this go. After he revealed this information to me, this group of hostages ran into trouble, and they will definitely think of me."
"Don't worry, no matter what, you're still one of Huang Guojun's men. Now our Huang Guojun is torn apart, we don't even have a decent territory. Without direct evidence, he won't dare to take action openly!"
With Bai Sheng's assurance, Peng Jiahao felt much more at ease.
"And the Red Scorpion Army, having killed so many of them, they certainly won't let this go!"
"The Red Scorpion Army, do they have any evidence? Without evidence, do they dare to start a war with us?"
"clear!"
Chen Hui and Peng Ying returned to their residence, and Peng Ying originally wanted to say something.
"Old Peng, get some rest. Forget about tonight's events!"
"Understood, Brother Hui!"
Both of them were exhausted after a night's sleep. Peng Ying was already used to this life where strength reigned supreme and killing was the norm, so she didn't feel uncomfortable at all and fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.
After returning home, Chen Hui went straight to bed and fell asleep.
He was half asleep when a knocking sound woke him up. He picked up his phone and saw that it was already past five in the afternoon. He opened the door and found someone standing there.
"The general sent me to tell you to come over for dinner. He's waiting for you!"
"Okay, I'll change my clothes!"
Chen Hui went into the room, quickly washed up, changed his clothes, and came out to find that the person who had invited him was still standing at the door.
His brow furrowed slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
When I got downstairs, Peng Ying was already there.
"Brother Hui, Godfather wants us to go out for dinner, hurry up!"
"Okay. Let's go!"
The two arrived at the restaurant, where Peng Jiahao was already seated. Three sets of tableware were set on the long table.
"Godfather!"
"Uncle!"
Peng Jiahao remained expressionless, but a sinister glint appeared in his eyes. He nodded, gesturing for them to sit down.
As soon as he sat down, Chen Hui clearly sensed that something was wrong.
Behind Peng Jiahao stood four child soldiers, each holding a gun. After they took their seats, about ten more child soldiers appeared at the entrance of the hall, also armed with guns.
Previously, when they were in the hall, Peng Jiahao only left two child soldiers to guard the door, with at most two people behind him. Now, there is such a large entourage for a meal, which must be suspicious.
"Ahui, Pengying, did you sleep well after a day?"
Peng Ying said with a smile.
"It feels so good, I finally caught up on my sleep."
"Um!"
Peng Jiahao stared intently at the two of them, then suddenly his face darkened, and he narrowed his eyes as he spoke.
"Where did you go last night? Did you forget to tell me?"
Peng Ying's heart skipped a beat, and a look of panic flashed in her eyes, but it was fleeting and did not give anything away.
Chen Hui, however, was much calmer. Although he didn't know why Peng Jiahao asked that question, he still explained his reasoning.
"We went to Dongshan Village, and came back as soon as we were done!"
Upon hearing this, Peng Jiahao's expression changed, and he abruptly stood up.
As if receiving a signal, the child soldiers around immediately raised their guns, loaded them, and pointed them at the two people. More than a dozen child soldiers outside the door also rushed in and raised their guns.
Chen Hui and Peng Ying's expressions changed immediately.
"Godfather... what did we do wrong?"
Peng Jiahao narrowed his eyes, walked up to the two men, his gaze cold, and said sternly.
"I'll ask you one more time, besides going to Dongshan Village, where else did you go last night?"
Seeing Peng Jiahao's expression, Peng Ying subconsciously glanced at Chen Hui, wondering if what happened last night had been exposed.
Chen Hui said very frankly.
"Uncle, we really didn't go anywhere. After finishing what you assigned, Peng Ying and I came back here and didn't go anywhere else!"
Upon hearing his words, Peng Jiahao moved closer to him, his eyes fixed on him as if trying to discern something.
"Okay, you haven't been to many places, have you? Then let me tell you about one: Yanglongzhai. You know that place, right?"
Upon hearing the name Yanglongzhai, Peng Ying's expression changed drastically, and she felt extremely flustered.
Peng Jiahao's ability to name Yanglongzhai undoubtedly indicates that he has received some information.
He was well aware of Peng Jiahao's methods; if things were exposed, neither he nor Chen Hui would survive.
His first instinct was to reach for the gun at his waist, but facing the muzzles of these child soldiers' guns, any movement would immediately turn him into a sieve.
"Uncle, I don't know Yanglongzhai, but I only heard about it yesterday!"
