Chapter 656: 656
At the end of the road was a village and he saw it half an hour later . This place was no longer in the territory of Bailu Town . It was very remote and Xia Lei had never been here before .
A lean dog was barking fiercely at Xia Lei’s Chevrolet Suburban car . However, the dog quickly ran away when Xia Lei pressed the horn . In front of him, Yelena rode the electric moped on an even smaller road on a hillside . Xia Lei could no longer drive the car up the road at this point . He got out of his car and started to climb up the hill .
Yelena still didn’t stop, and she soon disappeared on a small, shady road . Xia Lei had climbed about a few hundred meters upwards when he saw a farmhouse dwelling . There were several green-tiled buildings, a courtyard wall, and a bamboo forest in the back of the house . There was also a denser forest further back from the house .
The door of the farmhouse was locked tightly and the paint on the planks of the door had almost peeled off completely . Some of the planks had been painted black, some parts were white, and other parts were red . The colors didn’t look bright at all, which gave off the feeling that it had been eroded away by the wind and rain for several decades . Xia Lei walked over and pushed the door open without knocking because he already saw what was behind the door .
In the courtyard was Yelena, standing behind a middle-aged man . That man had a tanned face and large, calloused hands . This made him look like he was a genuine farmer, but Xia Lei knew that he wasn’t a farmer because he was his father, Xia Changhe . Just like Yelena, he was also wearing a silicone mask on his face .
Xia Lei can’t help smiling . He was worried that he couldn’t find his father, Xia Changhe, but his father would always appear every time he wanted to see him .
“Dad, have you been living here?” Xia Lei closed the courtyard door and walked towards his father .
Xia Changhe opened his arms and hugged Xia Lei . He patted Xia Lei’s back twice, hard . He said, “The FA Organisation and the CIA are chasing me down everywhere . Where would be the safest place for me? The answer is China . Since you came back from Germany last time, I already took a fancy to this place . The owner of the house moved to the city and he was going to abandon this place, but I rented it . This place is close to where you live, so if you ever get into any trouble, I can rush over and help you as soon as possible . ”
“I would’ve never thought that you would be right by my side . ” Xia Lei couldn’t help smiling .
Yelena said, “When there was nothing to do, I would go to Bailu Town to collect information on you . Both your father and I knew pretty much everything that happened at your place . Why did you think that I would appear today otherwise?”
“You guys already knew what happened?” Xia Lei was a little shocked .
Yelena suddenly put her finger in her mouth and whistled loudly .
Xia Lei suddenly realized something and turned to look at the direction of the courtyard door . The door disappeared in his left eye’s view and he saw a young man wearing a security uniform walking towards them with a package in his hand . What shocked him was that the package that he was holding was the one Xia Xue had given him . Xia Lei had not taken it with him when he climbed up the hill . Then, his gaze froze on the man's face . He was stunned .
The young man was one of the Thunder Horse military Factory’s security guards, and Lu Shen’s subordinate . Xia Lei remembered his name was E’er Demutu . He was a Mongolian . When the Thunder Horse Military Factory was hiring a group of security guards, he was recruited because he was a military verteran . He never expected that such a typical worker would appear in front of him in this fashion!
E’er Demutu pushed the door open and walked in . Upon seeing Xia Lei, he lowered his head and said shamefully, “Director Xia, I’m sorry… I work for your father . ”
Xia Lei smiled flatly . He wanted to say something but he couldn’t say it .
It was such a relief that he was helping his father . If he was helping the FA Organisation or the CIA, then it would be terrible .
E’er Demutu handed the package to Xia Changhe .
Xia Changhe opened the package and looked inside . He laughed grimly . “They finally used me to threaten you . It looks like both the FA Organisation and the CIA have exhausted their patience with you . ”
“This package was delivered by Gu Kewen . I suspect that she is a double agent . On the surface, she’s the Asia manager of the CIA, but she’s actually assisting Dark Mona from the FA Organisation . Back then, Long Bing killed Gu Kewen in Japan and Dark Mona took her corpse . But since Gu Kewen’s alive, then the only person who could’ve saved her was Dark Mona,” Xia Lei said .
Xia Changhe glanced at E’er Demutu and said, “You can leave . Go keep watch outside . ”
E’er Demutu nodded and left the farmhouse courtyard .
“Dad, can he be trusted?”
“If he’s not to be trusted, he would’ve been dead a long time ago . I’ve known him from ten years ago . He was only nine at that time . His mother suffered from an illness and his father broke his leg on the worksite . I gave him the money to seek treatment for his mother and also funded his education . I used to go to Mongolia every winter to personally train him,” said Xia Changhe .
Xia Lei couldn’t help glancing at Yelena . Yelena was like the Russian version of E’er Demutu . It seemed like his father was skilled at using this method to grow his power .
“Dad, how many more of these kinds of people do you still have?” asked Xia Lei . He was curious about this .
“Twelve . I don’t need dozens or hundreds of people in my team . I only need an elite team that can complete any mission . They are located all over the world and are ready to come and go under my command at any time . These people have been personally trained and selected by me, but each of them has their own speciality . The one that just left, his code name is Tiger,” said Xia Changhe .
Xia Lei suddenly felt like his father was an old shark, with many hidden layers to him .
Xia Changhe moved aside and pointed to Yelena . “Her code name is Rooster . ”
“Rooster?” Xia Lei didn’t expect Yelena’s code name to be a rooster under his father’s commands .
