Strike Back, Proud Goddess! Chapter 521 – Mission

Chapter 521: Mission

After Little Six told Tang Xi that Chu Ling was searching for the signals sent by the tracker embedded in Lu Li’s body, she immediately asked Little Six to take her to Chu Ling. However, Little Six drove towards her company, Tang Xi took a look at him in surprise and waited patiently in the car. Just then, her cellphone suddenly rang.

Tang Xi took a look at the caller ID and picked up the call. “Yao, what’s up?”

Xiao Yao’s cool yet gentle voice rang. “Where are you?”

Tang Xi said, “I’m on the way to my company.”

Xiao Yao paused and asked, “Rourou, is your friend Lu Li missing?”

Tang Xi frowned. Then she pursed her lips. “How do you know this, Yao?”

“I’m on a mission, which is to save him and catch the traitor in our organization. Tell Qiao Liang there are traitors not only in our organization but also in theirs. They are spies, but they have gained our trust, so they got their way so easily this time.” Xiao Yao’s voice sounded solemn, “And these spies are very dangerous.”

Hearing this, Tang Xi frowned and asked, “Yao, do you mean you are on a dangerous mission?”

Why did Yao get involved in such a matter?!

Xiao Yao didn’t expect what Tang Xi most cared about was his safety. Feeling warm in his heart, he said gently, “This is my job. I can’t choose missions.”

Tang Xi still frowned. “Where are you now?”

Xiao Yao said, “I’m at the airport. By the way, there is something wrong with the Empire Capital. They failed to reach you. Remember to call them.”

Tang Xi answered, “Okay, take care, Yao.”

Xiao Yao grunted in response and hung up the call. Then he opened the address book of his cellphone, looked at one of the phone numbers and smiled. He dialed that number and the other side soon answered the call. Xiao Yao asked, “Is Wanyi there?”

The one who answered the call was He Wanyi’s assistant. Hearing it was Xiao Yao, she answered politely, “Sister Wanyi is shooting a TV commercial. I’ll ask her to call you back.”

Xiao Yao paused and said, “Okay, thank you.”

It was one hour later after He Wanyi called Xiao Yao back. At that time, Xiao Yao was already sitting in the plane cabin and talking to his soldiers. Hearing his cellphone ring, he suspended the meeting and picked up the call. He Wanyi’s brisk voice rang. “I was shooting a TV commercial, and it was my assistant who answered the call just now.”

Hearing her pleasing voice, Xiao Yao slightly turned up the corners of his mouth. He said, “I know.”

He Wanyi took a sip of water and asked him, “What’s up?”

Xiao Yao smiled. “I just want to tell you I’m out on a mission.”

He Wanyi felt so sweet when she heard this. They hadn’t started a committed relationship yet, and he had begun to report his whereabouts to her? Thinking of this, she cracked a smile. She handed her cup to her assistant and looked at the gliding airplanes out of the window, saying with a smile, “Then where are you?”

Xiao Yao took a look at his watch. “I’m on the plane, it is going to take off so I have to hang up now.”

“Really?” He Wanyi said in pity, “I’m also at the airport, shooting a TV commercial! Why didn’t I answer the call just now! Then I could see you.”

Xiao Yao smiled. “See you when I get back. The airplane is taking off. I have to hang up.”

He Wanyi didn’t put away the phone and only did so reluctantly when Xiao Yao hung up. She watched the gliding planes and tried to guess which one Xiao Yao was in.

…

When Tang Xi reached The Queen, Chu Ling was sitting in front of his computer with a frown and searching for Lu Li. Tang Xi pursed her lips and came up to him. Chu Ling turned his eyes to her. “Have you finished making those clothes?”

Tang Xi took a look at him and asked, “Still no leads?”

Chu Ling rubbed between his eyebrows and shook his head. “Not yet. I have a sinking feeling. You know, the chance is very narrow of finding a person if he is missing for more than 48 hours.”

Tang Xi scowled. Chu Ling took a breath out. “Now we can only pray to God that he is lucky.” Then he put on his glasses and continued to stare at the computer screen.

Tang Xi frowned and handed a document to Chu Ling. “Find out where this man is.”

Chu Ling took over the document, read it and raised his eyebrows. “Why…”

Tang Xi nodded. “My eldest brother told me this man betrayed you. He seems to be part of the action too. You may be able to find Lu Li when you find him.”

Chu Ling immediately straightened up and began to check his whereabouts as he asked Tang Xi, “Is your eldest brother going to Mexico too?”

Tang Xi nodded. “Yes, he is probably on the plane now.”

Chu Ling frowned. “It’s dangerous to go there now. I think they’d better stay away from this mess. The Mexican gangsters will get the punishment they deserve in the end. It’s not a wise choice for them to interfere now.”

“My brother can’t decide on this.” Tang Xi looked at Chu Ling and changed the topic. “Have you found where that man is?”

“Yes, he is in a forest in East Mexico… Sh*t!” Chu Ling suddenly cursed, and immediately called Qiao Liang. “We are fooled by those people! They are in an abandoned factory twenty kilometers away from the No.3 Base.”

“But we’ve just searched there. No one is there.”

Chu Ling frowned and said loudly, “I know that factory. There is a three-layer basement in that factory. Have you searched there?”

Qiao Liang’s growl rang. “What? There is a three-layer basement over there?! Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Chu Ling paused and growled back, “How can I know you are so stupid?! Why didn’t you search the basement? But be careful, because… the basement is an abandoned lab. If Lu Li is locked up there, that’s not good!”…
