Chapter 579 Cooperate with Me

A loud noise came from the other end of the satellite tower.Li An sat on a bench downstairs from the command center. Looking up, he saw Mo Xian's face, devoid of any pretense, filled with excitement and anticipation, through the side window.But he quickly suppressed his emotions and cautiously asked, "When...when will you come to take over my post?""You will come, won't you?""What do you mean I will come?" Li An frowned.Mo Xian said somewhat awkwardly, "Because I asked a couple of days ago, and they said it's only tentative, not certain.""Go outside the window," Li An said calmly.Mo Xian was startled. He walked to the window and looked down. He saw a pockmarked soldier looking up at him, wearing a miniature headset."I'm right here," Li An said again.Mo Xian's pupils trembled with excitement, as if tears were about to fall.Li An coldly asked, "Why wasn't such a big thing reported here?"Mo Xian, utterly aggrieved, replied, "I went! It's too far to the Starfire Domain from here, so I went to the nearest main city to ask the military department.""I asked why no one was taking action when something so serious happened here, and when you would be coming.""They said they would ask immediately.""But I don't have your contact information.""Then yesterday they replied that you were in seclusion in the Temple of Cultivation, unreachable, and that your arrival was only tentative. If they kept bothering you, you might not come.""Then I didn't dare... I didn't dare say more."Looking at Mo Xian's extremely humble eyes, Li An felt a mix of emotions.He continued, "I was certain I would come, it wasn't tentative, and I wasn't in seclusion in the Temple of Cultivation at the time.""What do you think that means?"Mo Xian, a veteran of many years, felt a jolt of fear and quickly said, "Is there a mole among us?""Keep your voice down," Li An whispered.Now Mo Xian finally understood why Li Shen had disguised himself and secretly made a phone call from the chair below instead of coming up directly."Then...what do we do?" Mo Xian hesitated.Li An calmly said, "Identify the mole, use the mole, and rescue those six soldiers."This calm and steady voice inexplicably calmed Mo Xian's anxious heart."Then what do you want me to do?" Mo Xian asked hastily.Li An then asked, "I want to know one thing: before the former district chief and the strategist left, did they order that no one was allowed to leave the city?""Yes," Mo Xian nodded.Li An: "Why did those six leave the city?"Upon hearing this, Mo Xian immediately became tense, stammering and unable to utter a single word."Did you leave your vocal cords at home?" Li An frowned.Mo Xian sighed and said, "Because they insulted you back then, Lao Xie and the others were furious and went out of the city at night to launch a surprise attack on the demons."Li An was taken aback and said, "Me?""Because of me?""Ah...yes." Mo Xian forced a smile, "The demons said you were just hyped up.""But, for us, from your birth until today, many of your battles, big and small, have been broadcast live. We've watched you fight.""We know you fought your way up through countless battles.""You are the pride of humanity, and pride cannot be trampled on.""Lao Xie and the others secretly learned some martial arts because of you. In their hearts, you are...""Enough." Li An interrupted Mo Xian."Send me the information about the families of those six warriors. I'll get back to you later. Don't worry, now that I'm here, no one will die.""Okay!" Hearing this, Mo Xian felt his body go limp and he collapsed to the ground. Only he knew the immense psychological pressure he had endured these past few days. A soldier, illiterate and with no means of communication, traveled a great distance, nearly getting swindled along the way, but found himself with nowhere to turn. He couldn't contact Li An, and was even reprimanded by the local official who said, "Who do you think you are? Who does Li An care about you?" Upon returning, he had to soothe everyone's emotions, feeling utterly wronged.Suddenly.Li An's voice rang out again on the satellite platform in his hand."Leave the rest to me. Don't tell anyone about my appearance, not a single person!""Also, thank you." Mo Xian quickly replied.The satellite platform disconnected.Li An received detailed information about the six soldiers currently being tortured.Xie Jianguo, third-degree black belt in martial arts.His son, Xie Sheng, skipped the academic path, went straight to a martial arts school, and will also join the army in the future; he's just started first grade.His wife, also surnamed Xie, is a middle school Chinese teacher.His parents are both alive.A family of five.He's the one.Li An quickly took out the satellite platform and contacted someone. "Old Mo, have we arrived?""Yes, young master, we're in Hanxing City.""Get to the border immediately. There's a mole here. Your spatial abilities are high; keep an eye on them for me. Tell me if anyone causes trouble.""Don't worry, young master, I will fulfill my mission!"Then,Li An contacted Shuangxue."Go find Xie Jianguo's wife for me. I need to talk to her about some things, specifically..."Shuangxue's expression changed slightly after hearing this. "Will she agree?" she asked."That depends on your abilities," Li An chuckled."Okay!" Shuangxue acted swiftly. She found Xie Jianguo's house in Hanxing City using the map.It was evening, the sun was setting.Shuangxue happened to bump into Xie Qingqing and her son, Xie Sheng.A weary-looking woman forced a smile, while a carefree child skipped and hopped around, asking, "Has Daddy not come back yet?"Xie Qingqing's pupils trembled slightly, but she replied, "Soon, he should be back in two days.""No, he'll be back tonight."A sudden female voice rang out.Xie Qingqing turned sharply, only to see a tall woman wearing a baseball cap and a mask, with waist-length hair and snow-blue eyes looking at her."You…" Xie Qingqing's lips trembled slightly, "You know about Jian Guo's situation?""Settle the child first," Shuang Xue said softly.Xie Qingqing sensed the important aura emanating from Shuang Xue and quickly nodded, letting Xie Sheng go play while she took her to the second bedroom for a private chat.In the second bedroom.Shuang Xue removed her hat and mask.Xie Qingqing abruptly covered her mouth and stood up, her pupils widening in shock.At this moment, posters of Li An and Shuang Xue covered the entire city of Hanxing."Who doesn't recognize him?!""Don't get agitated. If you want to save your husband, just do as I say," Shuangxue said sternly."Okay, please tell me, I'll cooperate completely!" Xie Qingqing excitedly grasped Shuangxue's hand, tears welling in her eyes.Hope.She finally saw hope!The moment Shuangxue sat down here, the emotions she had been holding back were finally released, just like Mo Xian before.
