Chapter 445 Spreading the Word
Chapter 445 of "Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife" opens revealing the plot: Chapter 445: Chapter 445 Spreading the WordDay turned to night, and then a new day... Discover what happens!
Chapter 445: Chapter 445 Spreading the WordDay turned to night, and then a new day dawned upon Locust Tree Village, bathed in silvery white. It seemed no different from any other day, yet there was a sense of unease in the air.
Cao Xiaojuan was particularly restless today, her mind seemed to be elsewhere no matter what she was doing. Ning Ge asked her several times, but her replies were all over the place.
"Ge Ling, do you miss home? Why donāt you go back to Rong City first, and Iāll come find you after the New Year?" Cao Xiaojuan asked him with a smile.
Ning Ge put on a stern face and said, "Whatās the matter, did your parents say something? I knew it, they never liked me."
"No, no, itās not like that," Cao Xiaojuan hurriedly explained, "They didnāt say anything about you, I was just wondering if you were homesick, thatās all."
For some reason, she felt a deep anxiety within her. Master Wei had suddenly assigned them to commit crimes on several roads, as if in a great rush, and she didnāt understand why.
She was also afraid that Ning Ge would find out what she had been doing, afraid that he would...
If she could get Ning Ge to leave, that would be for the best. Otherwise, if something unexpected happened, how would he look at her?
Cao Xiaojuan was in turmoil.
Ning Ge snorted and stood up, saying, "I suppose they just think Iām no good, what else could it be? I canāt be bothered with you. Iām going to town to make a phone call to my dad."
"Oh!" Cao Xiaojuan stood up too.
"No need to follow me, Iām annoyed and I can go by myself," Ning Ge threw over his shoulder.
Cao Xiaojuanās unease grew as she saw him getting ready to leave. She wanted to follow, but Ning Ge glared at her and she reluctantly stayed put.
Ning Ge left the house, and Cao Guigen came over to ask, "Whatās going on, where is he going?"
"Heās going to town to call his family."
"No problems, right? Why didnāt you go with him?" Cao Guigen frowned darkly, he never quite trusted Ning Ge, because he couldnāt figure the young man out.
"He didnāt want me to," Cao Xiaojuan said hesitantly.
Cao Guigenās expression grew even more sullen, his gaze deep and unreadable, reflecting neither joy nor anger. After a long pause, he said, "Drug his food tonight. Itās best if nothing happens, but if anything does, hmph!"
Cao Xiaojuanās face blanched, her lips pursed tightly.
In the temporary command tent, each person was at their station, ready for the assault to begin.
"Commander Qi, you have a phone call!" shouted the communications soldier, stopping Qi Taiguo in his tracks.
Qi Taiguo was startled, who would be calling him now?
Who could it be?
Picking up the phone, he greeted with a "hello," and the voice on the other end was deep and grave, "Is this Commander Qi?"
Qi Taiguo furrowed his brow, "Yes, itās me. Who are you?"
"Commander Qi, youāre planning to raid the Village of Sin tonight, arenāt you?" The tone on the other side was not one of questioning but of statement.
"Who exactly are you?" Qi Taiguoās face showed a flicker of concern.
"Listen closely, Commander Qi, the information Iām about to give you is crucial. Tonight, the Sinful Village will surface in three different places..." The voice over the phone grew heavier, "...the boss, Master Wei, will be leaving by boat from Aozi Bay."
What?
Qi Taiguo felt a surge of shock, gripping the handset tighter, he demanded, "Who are you really, and why should I believe you?"
"Believe it or not, thatās up to you. Commander Qi, catching Master Wei would be a great feat for you. Itās your gamble whether to take it or not. Master Wei is leaving at eleven ten. Thatās all!"
The call ended with a series of beeps as the line went dead.
"Hello? Hello? Hello?" After confirming the caller had hung up, Qi Taiguo was nearly ready to throw the handset.
Old Wei was planning to escape; what could this mean? Could it really be that someone tipped him off? If that was the case, why would there still be criminal activity planned?
And with such an anonymous tip-off from an unknown source, should he trust it?
Qi Taiguo was lost in thought.
