CHAPTER 389: 388 RESCUE, ARRIVED IN COUNTRY M

In Caesar City of Country M, the beloved daughter of the Lu Family, Lu Xiaoer, was trapped under the rubble of Angus Church, and Zhongli Wuzhi and my wife, Song Lili, were on their way to Country M.

"Your... wife? Song Lili?"

Long Siyan slightly furrowed his brows, recalling that this person seemed...

"Her other name is Tang Xiaohua; Minister Long should be quite familiar with her."

"..."

Long Siyan stared at Wen Nian. On that always serious and intimidating "nation"-shaped face, there didn’t seem to be any change in expression, surely the concern was like waves crashing upon a boulder!

"No need to doubt, every word I’m saying is true."

"..."

Long Siyan didn’t utter a word, really choked up this time.

Lieutenant Tang was actually the President’s wife?! When did this happen... in the end...

Wen Nian wasn’t in a hurry. He waited for Long Siyan to digest the fact before he continued,

"There is no special mission in telling you this, besides Qu Yu, me, you are now the one who knows."

"The repatriation work will be coordinated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Secretariat. If they have any requests for you, I hope you can try your best to cooperate."

"Mr. President... what do you mean by that? You..."

"Don’t guess."

Wen Nian knew what Long Siyan was probably thinking and quickly stopped him.

Long Siyan pursed his lips, swallowing the words on the tip of his tongue.

"Come back in three days; I have something to give you."

Wen Nian instructed, which deepened the unease in Long Siyan’s heart.

"Go ahead with your tasks now; we are done here," Wen Nian said, sitting back in his chair.

Long Siyan turned and took a couple of steps toward the door, then hesitated. He turned back to ask, "Mr. President, isn’t it too rash for the First Lady to go to Country M at this time?"

"She has always been rash."

"Why didn’t you stop her, Mr. President?"

"Our President’s wife has never chosen the conventional path. I wished to stop her indeed."

"If Mr. President intends to send someone to enter Country M for the rescue, Long Siyan volunteers to take part."

Wen Nian’s hands crossed, resting on the desk, he looked seriously at Long Siyan, "Minister Long, no matter what happens, I won’t allow you to leave your post."

"..."

"The Police Department coordinates and manages well; no one could do it better than you. The security of the President Mansion depends on you, and so do I."

Wen Nian’s words were very motivating for Long Siyan.

He seemed to reaffirm his duties, nodding heavily, he responded, "Yes, Mr. President!"

After Long Siyan left the office, Wen Nian looked up a number in the directory and made a direct call to the Navy Headquarters. The Commander of the Navy of Country G answered,

"Hello?"

Normally, a call that went directly to the Commander’s office at the Navy Headquarters came from either the Great General or the President.

"Commander Zhan, this is Wen Nian."

"Mr. President? Do you call personally for an emergency?"

"Commander Zhan, I would like to borrow some of your personnel."

"You want to borrow personnel from me?"

Navy Commander Zhan Chuling was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said,

"Whoever you need, Mr. President, just let me know and I’ll immediately send them over."

"Not too many, just the entire ’Osprey’ assault team."

Zhan Chuling frowned, he intended to ask what the President intended to do with these people, but then decided not to ask, simply stating,

"Rest assured, Mr. President, I will give the order right away and have the ’Osprey’ assault team report to the President Mansion."

"I like how decisive you are, Commander Zhan. I’m entrusting this matter to you. By the day after tomorrow at noon at the latest, I want to see the ’Osprey’ assault team."

"Yes, Mr. President!"

Zhan Chuling responded promptly.

Wen Nian issued the order and then hung up the phone.

----

At two o’clock in the afternoon, Song Lili and Zhongli Wuzhi’s plane landed at the international airport in the capital of Country M, Caesar City.

The two didn’t bring any luggage, and after getting off the plane and getting their visas on arrival, they headed straight for the exit.

Song Lili was quite proficient in the languages of Country M, and she had no trouble communicating in daily life.

Zhongli Wuzhi was fluent in English but was not interested in the language of Country M, merely following behind Song Lili.

"The person coming to pick us up is a subordinate of a classmate of mine. My classmate’s name is Qiao Ke, a Major General. His subordinate will take us to meet him."

"Is he in Caesar?"

"After the terrorist attack, he is in charge of security in Caesar."

"Major General... must have considerable power."

Zhongli Wuzhi judged to himself.

"He has great power within the scope of his responsibilities, but beyond that range... there are always limitations."

"When we meet, you listen to me."

Zhongli Wuzhi glanced at Song Lili, "You want me to listen to you?"
