Chapter 138: The Firefight Incident

  "What's so important? It can't be some military secret, right?" To be honest, Chu Yan had a natural interest in this kind of thing, it's just that his current situation was a bit special, otherwise he would have agreed to Wan CaNi without much consideration.

  "I'm not very clear about this either, but it's very important. This is the only case I have on my hands right now, and if things don't work out, I'm afraid I won't have any more opportunities to handle cases in the future. You also know the procedures for this kind of thing, so just tell me whether you'll help or not. Oh, and there's a fee involved." Wan Caoni's words were straightforward and official. Chu Yan nodded, he couldn't possibly refuse to help Wan Caoni. The question was, how to help.

  "Helping you is absolutely no problem, but I need to understand everything. Also, I won't have any involvement with you in the task except for necessary communication. We can't meet in person, and even if we do, we'll pretend not to know each other. If you can do that, I'll agree to it."

  Chu Yan's considerations were simple: he wanted to avoid direct contact with people from the military alliance as much as possible. After all, in some people's eyes, he was already a dead man. Before finding an absolutely suitable opportunity, it was essential to keep a low profile for as long as possible.

  "That's no problem, what else do you require?" Chu Yan could agree, and Wan Caoni was determined that with this ghostly figure joining, the possibility of her mission succeeding would increase by 30%, so no matter what conditions Chu Yan proposed, Wan Caoni would unconditionally agree.

  "There's only one, I'll act alone." As soon as Chuyan finished speaking, Wancai Ni immediately nodded. Originally, this plan was divided into several raid teams to complete, and solo action and team action seemed to make little difference for Chuyan.

  "Alright, it's settled then. The payment is two million US dollars, half paid in advance and another one million after the job is done. I know this might be a bit less for you, but aren't drug lords usually very wealthy guys?" Wan Caoni said as she raised her glass of juice. Chu Yan smiled, nodded, and also raised his glass to clink with Wan Caoni's, which was a new way to celebrate reaching an agreement.

  "What about the time? You should understand that I won't be able to leave here in a short period of time." Chu Yan's biggest concern was also Wan Cai Ni's biggest concern. Before Mo Xi Yao's matter was resolved, neither Chu Yan nor she would leave, and besides, she was already on vacation, which meant things weren't that urgent yet.

  "Don't worry, there won't be any action in the short term. Intelligence is still being gathered, and it's not easy to infiltrate a big drug lord's lair. Besides, Yuxiao's matter also needs to be resolved. And one more important thing, headquarters gave me a deadline of one month after completing data collection to complete this task. So, there's still plenty of time." Wan Caoni naturally understood Chu Yan's worries, she had the same concerns, her best friend's bounty wouldn't be lifted, and she couldn't focus on other things either.

  "Go take a rest, and adjust to the time difference. I'll go get something from the car." Chu Yan put down his juice glass, got up and left the living room. Wan Cai Ni lay on the sofa, turned on the TV, she was not sleepy at all now. At this time in America, it seemed like a bright and energetic daytime.

  Mo Xi Yao's car was parked in front of the door and hadn't been driven into the garage. Chu Yan opened the car door and sat down in the passenger seat, pulled open the drawer in front of him, and immediately saw the cowhide file bag that Mo Xi Yao had prepared as a surprise for him. Now he finally had time to open it and take a look.

  He casually turned on the interior light, removed the seal from the file bag, and took out a thick stack of A4 paper printed materials. When Chu Yan's eyes fell on the first page, his face suddenly froze, and an irrepressible joy instantly surged into his heart. "This is indeed a surprise."

  Xiao Zihan, female, 26 years old, occupation: surgeon, Wang's ace scalpel at Jiujiang Private Hospital in Beidu City.

  On the first document, apart from a clear ID photo, there was only this line of clear Song font. After Chu Yan stared at the photo for a long time, he suddenly remembered the photo he always carried with him and hurriedly took it out of his pocket to find a photo with Zi Han's name written on the back.

  Put the photos on the file, two photos side by side, Chu Yan's face suddenly filled with happy smile, no mistake, these two photos are indeed one person, that is to say, there is another family member who needs to be taken care of, of course, the so-called taking care is not that kind of custody, the definition of taking care is very broad, and there are many interpretations.

  For Xiao Zihan, an adult who has been working for many years, the care that Chu Yan has in mind is to observe from afar and enter her life at the right time as a friend, but only within the scope of friendship. Chu Yan will not interfere with or change her life in any way. This is Chu Yan's definition of taking care of Xiao Zihan.

  "Xiao Qi, I've finally found your sister. Don't worry, I'll be watching over her from the shadows and ensuring she lives a happy life. Since I've found Zi Han, it means I've also found Zi Jing. I will do my best to guarantee their lives remain peaceful and joyful." Holding that blood-stained photo, Chu Yan's mind flashed back to his good brother Xiao Qi's honest face. He owed more than half of his survival to Xiao Qi, so for Xiao Qi's last wish, Chu Yan would complete it at any cost.

  When Chu Yan got out of the car, an hour had passed. Xiao Zihan's information had been read over and over again until all the information on it was stored in Chu Yan's mind.

  Holding the documents, he returned to the villa, on the sofa, Wancai was occupying half of the sofa in a very ungraceful manner. The red leather suit had been taken off, replaced by a loose cotton nightgown. What surprised Chu Yan was that this nightgown was also one of those that wrapped Wancai tightly, which completely didn't match this little girl's style.

  "This is my territory, do you want to go back to your room or go to Xiuyao's room to sleep?" The sofa had always been Chu Yan's territory, not that there were no rooms in the villa, but Chu Yan was used to sleeping on the sofa. Once something became a habit, there was nothing that could be explained with reason.

  "I'll go sleep in Xiuyao's room, but I won't be able to fall asleep. The bed is yours, you can do whatever you want, I'll just watch TV for a bit and then head up." Wan Caoni didn't intend to get up, she just shifted her body slightly to make about half the space available for Chu Yan, and continued watching TV on her own.

  Wancai's actions didn't surprise Chuyan at all. This little girl seemed to have no courtesy towards him from the moment they first met, starting with pointing a gun at his head. Now taking over his position as hall leader was just a small matter. Shaking his head, Chuyan walked into the bathroom, he still needed to take a shower before bed, it's getting hotter and hotter!

  Chu Yan went in to take a bath, putting the file bag on the tea table. Wan Caoni was somewhat curious and directly picked up and opened the file bag, then roughly flipped through the materials inside. Finally, she put things back in their original place with an unusual expression. In her mind, the gossip fire began to burn. The reason was very simple: the person in the materials was a woman, and not only that, but also a woman wearing a uniform, and even more so, a stunningly beautiful woman wearing a uniform.

  Chu Yan held a woman's file, and it was the kind that was detailed to the point of investigating her work environment. So, the relationship between this woman and Chu Yan, or what purpose Chu Yan had for this woman, was worth digging into by Wan Caoni. Curiosity may kill a cat, but it is also an indispensable factor in human progress!

  Here is the translation:

  "The latest news from our station, Nanshan City has seen multiple cases of malicious group brawls today. As of this morning, over 10 people have died and 110 are seriously injured. Please watch the report sent back by our reporter."

  On TV, the late-night news was playing the latest and fastest news. Wan Cai Ni was lying on the sofa, watching the video of street fighting on the screen with a look of boredom. She glanced at the bathroom on the first floor, where the sound of water had stopped. Chu Yan came out from inside, wearing only a large bath towel around his waist, exposing his chest.

  "What are you looking at?" Wan Cai Ni's gaze fell on Chu Yan's naked body, the smooth lines carved like a knife made this little girl's heart suddenly throb, and the solid chest with more than a dozen scars crisscrossing it made her dizzy "This is what a real man looks like!!"

  Wan Cai Ni had many colorful thoughts in her mind, but Chu Yan's identity was special. She wasn't an idiot and could see that her best friend seemed to have deep feelings for Chu Yan. If not for the fact that she liked to keep things clear and straightforward, the two of them would probably have been together a long time ago.

  "I didn't see anything, I'm just a bit curious, what's your purpose with this woman?" Wan Caoni said, pointing her finger at the file bag on the tea table and tapping it lightly a few times, with a clear playful expression on her face.

  "This seems to have nothing to do with you, right? And as an Interpol officer, don't you know how to respect my personal privacy?" Wan Caoni would sneak a peek at the information, Chu Yan wasn't surprised at all. This little girl was never one to play by the rules, when did she become so serious? That's probably when pigs fly!

  "Cut, you call this privacy? Investigating a beauty so thoroughly, and still dare to say you have no ulterior motives?" Wan Caoni sat up properly, continuing to fuel her raging gossip fire, while Chu Yan shook his head with a bitter smile. This little girl was simply too gossipy, how did he not discover her strong gossip soul before?

  "She's my relative, I've been looking for her for a long time. Ah, Xiuyao helped me find these materials. Oh, I suddenly remembered, don't you Interpol have files on everyone in the world? Can you help me look up a few people?" Chu Yan confessed honestly, and at the same time, he suddenly thought of the lazy-looking girl in front of him, who seemed to be an Interpol officer too. It would be a waste not to take advantage of this resource."

  "Stop! Do you know what information I want to check the most?" Wan Cai Ni directly interrupted Chu Yan's next words, then took out her phone while asking Chu Yan a question. Before waiting for Chu Yan's response, this little girl had already held up her phone in front of Chu Yan!!!

  "This is exactly what I wanted to see."
