Marry Me Quick

Chapter 811 Ninth Lord

The meaning of Bai Mingxu's words was clear. He wouldn't reveal anything about Bai Yunan's situation or the mission he was currently on to Bai Yeqi.

This righteous appearance was indeed in line with his identity as a leader.

However, Bai Yeqi understood very well that Bai Mingxu was also worried about Bai Yunan's safety.

"Dad, we're at home now. You don't have to be so formal. Ever since Yunan joined the military, he has always been prepared to sacrifice himself. But as his family, it's normal for us to be selfish and hope that he stays alive."

He turned to look at Bai Mingxu and emphasized, "Same goes for you, Dad."

Bai Mingxu's face froze as he looked at Bai Yeqi in disbelief.

Bai Yeqi continued, "Dad, can you tell me even a little about Yunan's situation? Tell me what you can."

After a moment of silence, Bai Mingxu spoke up. "His mission this time is to capture the leader of the Black Moon Organization known as the Ninth Lord. He is the largest military, arms, and private business figure in the country. Someone had taken on this mission before, but they failed and were sent back in pieces. The Black Moon is extremely brutal. The Ninth Lord managed to escape to another country."

Bai Yeqi was involved in legitimate business and didn't know much about illegal activities like this.

"After learning from the previous experience, the higher-ups prepared for two years and just recently discovered that the Ninth Lord had returned to the country and was currently in T City near the border. That was why they sent Yunan there. He sent a message before saying that he had captured the Ninth Lord, but before they could receive any further updates, they lost contact with his entire team."

Bai Mingxu massaged his temples after saying that. It was obvious he hadn't had a good rest for several days as he was constantly worrying about this matter.

"What's the plan now? Are they sending reinforcements?" Bai Yeqi had also spent a few years in the military and understood some of these matters.

"We contacted the local police station, but when the Ninth Lord was in the country, he was active in T City for a long time and was very familiar with T City's police. We discussed it and decided to send someone directly from here. However, the Ninth Lord is a cunning person. If ordinary soldiers go, they won't have time to take action before he finds out about them."

There was a saying that the third time's the charm. This was already the second time they were trying to capture the Ninth Lord. If they failed again this time, he would definitely escape to another country, and they wouldn't be able to go after him anymore. This man who was like a malignant tumor would only continue to exist.

He would continue to engage in illegal activities, arms smuggling, and pose a threat to society.

Moreover, although he was the largest military, arms, and private business figure, he was involved in more than just arms smuggling. Drugs, money laundering...

There was nothing illegal that he wouldn't do.

"I'll go."

Bai Yeqi's sudden words caught Bai Mingxu completely off guard.

"What did you say?"

"I said I'll go support Yunan. I also spent a few years in the military and haven't completely lost my skills and knowledge. However, I don't have the aura of a soldier anymore. If I end up confronting the Ninth Lord, he might suspect me, but he would lower his guard a bit."

"No!"

Bai Mingxu didn't even think about it and immediately refused.

"There's no way I'm letting you go. You are not making any sense."

"Then do you have someone more suitable right now? Do you have any news about Yunan?" Bai Yeqi's expression was even more serious than before.

"Let's leave it at that for today."

Bai Mingxu ignored him and went upstairs after speaking.

Bai Yeqi had no choice but to go back to his room and sleep.

The next day, Bai Yeqi went to the company early.

He attended meetings, approved documents, and postponed his schedule. Noticing this, his secretary couldn't help but ask, "President Bai, are you planning to take a vacation anytime soon?"

"No." Bai Yeqi didn't even lift his head. "I'm going on a business trip."

"A business trip?" The secretary found it rather sudden. She had no idea Bai Yeqi had such a plan.

"I'm going to expand the market in Africa."

The secretary didn't say anything at that.

Even though it sounded unbelievable, something that the boss said oh-so-seriously must be true.

The news of Bai Yeqi going to expand the market in Africa reached Lu Qingyou's ears.

When they were eating together at lunchtime, Lu Qingyou asked him, "Are you kidding me? What does the company have that can be expanded in Africa? Don't joke around."

"Is that so?" Bai Yeqi smirked, his smile faint. "But I really am going to Africa."

"Did you ask Uncle Bai about what happened to Yunan?" Lu Qingyou thought he was just joking, so she didn't believe it at all.

"The situation is not optimistic. I plan to go to T City, but my Dad probably won't agree. And since this needs to be kept confidential, I'm telling everyone that I'm going to Africa."

Bai Yeqi's expression became serious. The matter concerned Bai Yunan's safety. He shouldn't be taking it lightly.

Bai Yunan was always cautious. It was inevitable that people would think negatively, now that they had lost contact with his entire team.

When Lu Qingyou heard that he was going to T City, she blurted out, "Is Yunan on a mission in T City? I want to go too!"

"You're just a little girl, so don't get involved," Bai Yeqi didn't dare to bring Lu Qingyou along. He could keep himself safe if he went alone, but he couldn't guarantee their safety if he brought Lu Qingyou.

After thinking about it, Lu Qingyou also realized that it wasn't realistic for Bai Yeqi to take her with him.

However, now that she knew Bai Yunan was on a mission in T City, she could go on her own even if Bai Yeqi didn't take her.

A few days later, Bai Yeqi set off for T City.

He called Bai Mingxu to tell him that he was going to T City just before boarding the plane.

Bai Mingxu was so angry that he smashed his phone on the spot.

"Bai Yeqi, get your *ss back here! You're still fooling around like a child at your age. Be sensible!"

"Dad, I'm not fooling around. I just want to save my brother. If he's safe, maybe I can help him with something. If something happened to him, I'll go save him. I'll take care of myself."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

When Bai Mingxu tried calling him again, it showed that the phone was turned off.

He was so angry that he could only pace around in frustration.

Lu Qingyou, on the other hand, bought an evening flight ticket.

Her father had been busy recently and didn't have time to pay attention to her.

As for Mrs. Lu, she was always busy with work and didn't even know about Bai Yunan's situation. She knew nothing about Lu Qingyou planning to secretly go to T City.

Lu Qingyou might be bold, but she didn't dare to call her family from the airport as Bai Yeqi did.

However, she did tell An Xia once before she left, saying that she was going to T City.

An Xia was puzzled. "Why are you going somewhere so far away?"

T City was a distant and somewhat inhospitable place situated on the border. Considering its remote location and less-than-ideal surroundings, it hardly seemed like a feasible destination for a leisurely vacation.

"There's something important I need to attend to. In a few days, please let Jingshu know to tell my family that I went to T City."

"What? Why?"

An Xia found it rather odd; something about it didn't seem quite right. Just what was it that Lu Qingyou wanted to do?
