Chapter 2098: The Seriousness Of The Situation
Reporting to the military was not something that could be done in an hour or two. If he arrived at eight o’clock, he would be there until at least dawn.
Everyone knew that Q King was injured. They would be worried if he did not treat his wounds first.
V8, who came to pick him up, was ordered by the major general to send Xia Jinyuan to the hospital for a comprehensive and detailed examination. It wouldn’t be too late to go to the military after his wounds were properly treated.
Xia Jinyuan thought about Ye Zhifan and the Du family. He didn’t plan to waste too much time on himself.
Seeing that he was determined to go to the military headquarters, V8 couldn’t persuade him anymore. He stopped the car by the roadside and said to Xia Jinyuan, “Before I came out, Major General ordered me to send you to the hospital first to get your wounds treated before returning to the military headquarters. Since you’re not cooperating, explain it to Major General yourself.”
There was nothing he could do to persuade Xia Jinyuan otherwise. He had to ask the major general to step in.
Xia Jinyuan felt a little helpless when his comrade stopped him. However, he couldn’t say that he didn’t want to go to the hospital and wanted to go straight back to the military school for Ye Jian. Seeing that V8 really wanted to call the major general, he stretched out his long arm and snatched the mobile phone from V8.
“Don’t be distracted. Drive the car properly. I know my own injuries well. Do I need you to remind me if there’s really a problem?” The wounds were indeed showing signs of inflammation, but it wasn’t serious. He could take a few antibiotics to suppress it and deal with the urgent matter at hand before dealing with his wounds.
Xia Jinyuan, who had listened to Ye Ying’s call the entire time, did not think about going to Wang Fu Hotel to investigate. Although he prioritized Ye Jian’s private matters, private matters could never be compared to missions. No matter how important a private matter was, he had to take a step back when he encountered missions.
At this moment, he really wanted to go to Wang Fu Hotel to inquire about the situation. He also wanted to call Xia Yiwei and Hou Zi immediately to ask about the situation, but he knew his mission and duty well. He knew which was more important no matter what.
…
V8, whose phone was snatched, was unable to influence his captain’s decision. In the end, he chose to compromise and drive the car back to the military.
Major General Yang looked at his beloved general who had dragged himself over. With a furious expression, he slapped the desk and shouted angrily, “Nonsense! Do you want to die?!”
As he cursed, he was dialing the internal line. He immediately asked the guard to get a famous military doctor over.
He wanted to see for himself how serious Xia Jinyuan’s injuries were!
Then, he asked V8, “I clearly told you to bring him to the hospital for a check-up first, but you ignored my orders and brought him directly to the military. Can you be responsible if anything happens to him?”...
V8 was about to say that he was irresponsible when Xia Jinyuan said, “Major General, it’s not my comrade’s fault. I was the one who insisted on returning to the military first.” He didn’t want his comrade to be implicated in his decision. His handsome face was slightly tired as he explained in a low voice, “I have an urgent matter to report. I had to return to the military first.”
As he spoke, he unbuttoned his black shirt and pulled a long and thin white object about the length of a stick of chewing gum from where it was pressed against his chest. “Memory stick. I retrieved it from the monitoring room in Antonio’s office. It contains an important conversation. The translator communicated in Chinese the entire time. A frontier checkpoint in our country was mentioned twice.”
What did it mean for a notorious arms dealer to mention a country’s checkpoint?
It represented the seriousness of the situation!
The major general took the memory stick that a camera company had launched in 1999 to store videos and other media. He looked at Xia Jinyuan sharply. “What do you suspect?”
Before he could say anything, the major general’s face darkened.
