1159 Returning to the Capital

After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhe walked back to the dormitory like a zombie. He looked at his cabinet and thought that there was nothing much to pack. He just wanted to return to Qiao Mei’s side immediately and stay with her all the time.

When Zhao Wu saw Xia Zhe, he immediately put his arm around Xia Zhe’s shoulder and said, “Oh my, are you officially a father now! Can I be your child’s G.o.dfather!”

“Shoo, shoo, shoo! Why are you fighting with me! How can you be the G.o.dfather of Xia Zhe’s child with your sloppy character! I’m a much better candidate!” Zhang Yong looked at Zhao Wu with disdain.

Zhao Wu did not want to argue with Zhang Yong. He was feeling very excited at the moment. Among them, Xia Zhe was the first one to become a father. He was very curious about what babies were like, especially about whether Xia Zhe’s children would look exactly like Xia Zhe.

Seeing that Xia Zhe did not speak for a long time, Zhao Wu asked, “Why are you in a daze? What happened? Don’t tell me you were too shocked by the huge surprise? Don’t tease me. You didn’t even blink when you met so many bandits in the mountain region. Yet you can’t even speak after your wife gives birth!”

Xia Zhe stammered, “Qiao Mei… she’s… dead…”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Zhao Wu looked at Xia Zhe in shock. Zhang Yong did not say anything and only patted Xia Zhe’s shoulder. In the light of such a situation, it was useless for them to say anything. The only thing they could do was to be there for Xia Zhe when he needed them.

The three of them knew one another very well. Both men knew that what Xia Zhe needed the most now was peace and quiet. Zhao Wu and Zhang Yong went out to take a walk together, letting Xia Zhe spend time in the dormitory alone.

Xia Zhe packed his luggage and set off towards the north in the car allocated to him by the military district, heading in the direction of the capital. He was fully focused on the road ahead and would at times urge the chauffeur to drive faster, so that he could reach the capital as soon as possible.

Initially, the chauffeur had planned to take a relatively smoother road. Although the travel time would take half a day more, it was very safe and there would not be any surprises. He liked to use this route the most.

Xia Zhe, on the other hand, wanted to use the mountain road. If they traveled on a straight route using the smooth road, it would take about five days to get back. Even if the two of them took turns to drive day and night, it would still take them four days. However, it would be different if they took the mountain road. They could reach the capital in three days. If the two of them took turns driving, they would probably be able to reach in less than two days.

After the two of them had a discussion, the chauffeur drove in the direction of the mountain road. However, it was already getting late and they were forced to take a rest at the foot of the mountain for the night and set off at dawn the next day.

After they arrived at the guest house, the chauffeur lay on the bed and fell asleep immediately. Xia Zhe looked out of the window quietly. He could not fall asleep and did not want to sleep either. His mind was filled with thoughts of the capital, but the chauffeur was right. No matter how urgent the matter was, he must still protect his own life.

Now that his children had already lost their mother, he could not let them lose their father too.

Suddenly, the distinct whistle tone used by the Xia family’s spies could be heard outside the door. It was very soft but Xia Zhe could recognize it right away. A note was thrown in through the crack in the door.

Xia Zhe hurriedly ran over to read it. There were only a few words written on it, “Go along with the plan”. There was nothing else.

He quickly recalled Xia Mao’s tone of voice during the call with him and the contents of their conversation. It did not sound like Xia Mao’s usual tone of voice at all. It seemed that there was something more to this matter. Xia Mao did not tell him the truth because he was worried that the plan would become exposed and fail.

Xia Zhe immediately burned the note. He lay on the bed and took a quick rest. At the crack of dawn, Xia Zhe and the chauffeur immediately set off.

If someone was going to come at him, the only thing they wanted must be his life. All these were simply small matters to him. He had many such experiences after so many years of missions. He had offended so many people over the years that there was always someone who wanted to take his life, but no one was capable enough.

This chauffeur was Xia Zhe’s subordinate and there was definitely no problem with him. However, this car was not theirs. Xia Zhe used hand gestures to inform the chauffeur of his plan and the chauffeur immediately understood what he meant.

When they were about to reach the midway spot up the mountain, Xia Zhe swapped places with the chauffeur. Xia Zhe would drive the car personally to lure out the people who wanted to ambush them.

Xia Zhe wanted to end the fight quickly. He did not want this matter to delay his return to the capital.

The car gradually reached a steep mountain road with slopes on both sides. If one was not careful, one could easily roll down and plunge into the river at the foot of the slope.
