Chapter 178 Li Jinxi's Conflict
Lan Yaoxia turned down the invitation to attend the banquet at the Song family, which made Li Jinxi a little depressed.
"Why so sudden?"
Li Jinxi frowned, with a hint of displeasure in her tone.
Li Jinxi had put too much thought into this trip, and its sudden cancellation made her a little frustrated and angry.
Lan Yaoxia turned to look at her and explained calmly: "There are some things that need to be dealt with abroad."
foreign!
Li Jinxi's eyes changed slightly, as if she had guessed something.
She asked tentatively: "Is there any news about Gu Yannian?"
Unexpectedly, Li Jinxi would guess so sharply. Lan Yaoxia did not deny it. She nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
"He can't get away this time."
Lan Yaoxia's voice was cold and firm, with a hint of cruelty in her eyes.
Then he turned his attention back to the computer.
Upon hearing the news, Li Jinxi's face instantly became solemn.
Although she hated Gu Yannian and everything he had done, she couldn't help but feel conflicted and embarrassed at this moment.
She knew very well Lan Yaoxia's hatred for Gu Yannian. Once Gu Yannian fell into his hands, he would inevitably suffer endless torture and pain.
However, she couldn't stop Lan Yaoxia because she understood the pain and anger in Lan Yaoxia's heart.
Lan Yaoxia stared at the computer screen intently, her fingers tapping the keyboard quickly, handling the affairs of the group.
He was completely immersed in it and didn't notice Li Jinxi's emotion at all.
After struggling for a long time, Li Jinxi finally made up her mind and said to Lan Yaoxia, "I'll go too."
Hearing this, Lan Yaoxia slowly stood up and turned her gaze to Li Jinxi, revealing a hint of surprise and confusion in her eyes.
Then he whispered, "You don't have to go with me. This journey will be very hard, and the journey is long and full of unknown dangers."
"The environment in Angku is terrible."
“You won’t be able to stand it if you go there.”
However, Li Jinxi shook her head firmly and responded in a resolute tone: "No, I have to go."
"Gu Yannian has done so many evil things, I must go and question him in person."
"No matter what, he should give me an explanation."
There was a flash of anger in Li Jinxi's eyes, as if the anger that had been pent up in her heart for a long time was about to erupt.
Then she added: "Even if he dies, he must make everything clear."
“Otherwise, I would feel uncomfortable.”
Li Jinxi's performance was so realistic that Lan Yaoxia didn't notice anything unusual at all.
Only Li Jinxi herself knew that deep down she was still filled with worry and anxiety about the person who murdered her husband.
Seeing how determined she was to go to the Angku, Lan Yaoxia felt that perhaps she should satisfy her request to say a final farewell to Gu Yannian.
Anyway, I will definitely torture Gu Yannian to death.
Finally, Lan Yaoxia sighed softly and said helplessly: "Okay."
Then he added: "If you feel unwell during the stay, I will immediately arrange to send you back home."
Li Jinxi nodded and said, "Yes."
However, deep down in her heart she was constantly wavering.
Maybe Gu Yannian is not the murderer. He did not order anyone to kill Lan Yaoxia. He was wronged.
But knowing Lan Yaoxia's hatred for Gu Yannian, none of this matters.
Lan Yaoxia wants Gu Yannian's life.
The faces of Gu Yannian's parents appeared in Li Jinxi's mind again.
They were so good to me in the past, but they are all gone now. If they were still alive, would Gu Yannian be like this?
He will have a brand new life.
But all this is just assumption, the reality has already happened and cannot be changed.
Li Jinxi felt extremely conflicted and painful.
She didn't know how to deal with this situation.
If Gu Yannian really died in front of me, would I be able to accept it?
We were so close once, why did things develop to this point?
On the one hand, Li Jinxi hopes to seek justice for Lan Yaoxia.
On the other hand, he didn't want Gu Yannian to die.
Li Jinxi knew that no matter what choice she made, someone would be hurt.
And I will also bear a heavy psychological burden.
The night deepens——
Lan Yaoxia did not come back tonight because of the group's matters. Li Jinxi tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
Lan Yonggui also didn't sleep. He was talking on the phone with Ma Xuan in the study.
"Don't worry, sir."
Ma Xuan's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of calmness and confidence.
"Although the riot in Angkui was suppressed not long ago, I will definitely ensure the safety of the young master."
Lan Yonggui frowned slightly, as if he was still worried about the situation, and instructed: "Are there enough manpower? If not, ask the military to send more people."
Ma Xuan said: "I have applied to the king for 3,000 elite troops. Those rebels should not dare to cause trouble to us easily."
"But I will still remain vigilant and will never let anyone interfere with the young master's schedule."
Ma Xuan was silent for a moment and then replied: "Please rest assured, I will do my best to protect the safety of the young master."
A hint of trust and expectation flashed in Lan Yonggui's eyes.
"Ma Xuan, you are the man my father left for me. I have always believed in your abilities."
"But this mission is extremely important, and I hope you can make sure everything goes well."
“Nothing can go wrong with my son.”
Ma Xuan agreed solemnly: "I understand, sir."
"I will use my life to protect the safety of the young master."
After hanging up the phone, Lan Yonggui sat quietly at his desk. Although he had full confidence in Ma Xuan, as a father, he could not completely eliminate his inner worries.
In the distant Angkui Kingdom, Ma Xuan also felt Lan Yonggui's expectations and pressure.
He was fully aware of the importance of this mission and decided to go all out and live up to Lan Yonggui's trust.
Ma Xuan immediately summoned his elite soldiers and began to develop a detailed security plan.
Since Angkui was a very backward country and had no airport, Lan Yaoxia had to take a plane to Nanyin and then take a boat to Angkui.
Ma Xuan had to arrange soldiers to pick people up at the port, and Pei Shan’s stronghold was close to the interior.
After Lan Yaoxia arrived in Angkui Country, she still had to take a three-hour bus ride, passing through three large cities along the way, which were the lairs of the rebels in Angkui Country.
Although the riot was successfully suppressed, many people still escaped and are now being hunted down by the military.
The rebels also have guns and often commit robberies on the road.
This also forced Ma Xuan to send more people to protect Lan Yaoxia's safety during the trip.
Ma Xuan took a look at the army's equipment and the vehicles were in a terrible state.
The trucks, which have passed through more than a dozen hands, have been converted into military vehicles here.
Carrying twenty people in a cart is like carrying animals.
There is not even a cement road, and the mountain road is winding. It must be a torture to take a three-hour car ride to get here.
