My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!-Chapter 1131 - 1057: Boldly Advancing into Baldet!_2
So...
"What are you standing around for? My words don’t work anymore, is that it?"
Wu Jie suddenly lashed out at the intelligence officer.
The intelligence officer was startled and looked towards Tang Xiao with a somewhat bewildered expression.
"What are you looking at her for? What position does she hold, what authority does she have to command you?"
Wu Jie shouted again with a hint of sternness.
This time, the intelligence officer snapped to attention, saluted, turned, and hurriedly left.
Tang Xiao did not speak up to stop him this time.
She knew her own status.
Wu Jie was the overall person in charge on the Nabiya side in the case of the Star Federation nuclear warheads being stolen.
And herself?
She had long since retired from the military, was nothing, in essence, just a businesswoman.
Being able to participate in such a highly confidential operation as Wu Jie’s family member was already a special exception.
Did she really expect to overstep her bounds and make decisions for Wu Jie?
Tang Xiao understood even more.
Men are all about face, especially in front of outsiders, in front of many subordinates; Wu Jie must be given face.
Anyway, she had already laid down her gun on the table to make her stance clear; there was no need for further idle talk.
She kept looking at Wu Jie, to see what he was going to do.
After sending away the intelligence officer, Wu Jie glanced at Tang Xiao, picked up the gun on the table casually.
He carefully examined it in his hand, weighed it, then took out the magazine to look at the golden bullets.
Tang Xiao’s pupils shrank.
Picking up the gun on the table, was he really going to shoot her dead?
But...
With a click, after Wu Jie loaded the magazine, he didn’t raise the gun at Tang Xiao.
Instead, he engaged the safety, walked over, and slid it back into Tang Xiao’s holster.
"Wait for me outside first!"
After patting Tang Xiao on the shoulder and asking her to leave first, Wu Jie turned to look at the other people who were still in a daze.
"Enjoying the show? You guys, what are you staring at?"
"Do you really think that just because we’ve recovered all three nuclear warheads, the case is closed?"
"We still have five compatriots in Abulaxi’s hands; the score of the War Statistics Institute’s plane he shot down hasn’t been settled!"
"Thoroughly investigate his and Baldet’s situation; this is a war, not child’s play. What are you still standing around for?"
Wu Jie’s voice gradually rose, authoritative and stern, startling everyone into hastily returning to their seats to work harder.
Leaving the surveillance center, Wu Jie called for Tang Xiao, who was waiting outside the blast-resistant door.
Tang Xiao, without saying a word, followed behind Wu Jie.
In the break room, as soon as they entered, Tang Xiao closed the door behind them.
"You must give me a reason, or I can’t let you put yourself in danger!"
Tang Xiao took a quick step, tightly hugging Wu Jie from behind, her beautiful eyes brimming with deep emotion.
Even... some shimmering tears.
"Do you have any idea how dangerous it is there?"
"Do you think you are an invincible god?"
"What am I supposed to do if you die? How do I explain to mom and dad?"
"Do you want me to be widowed so young? You..."
Tang Xiao became increasingly agitated, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.
Wu Jie pulled away from Tang Xiao’s hands, turned to face her, and seeing her tear-streaked face, he felt a pang in his heart.
"Say something! You madman!"
"If you want to go to your death, then take me with you!"
Tang Xiao clenched her fists and pounded hard on Wu Jie’s chest.
After letting Tang Xiao vent for a while, Wu Jie finally held her wrist with his left hand and wrapped his right arm tightly around her waist.
Without a word, without any hint or warning, he kissed her fiery red lips directly.
If it were before, he would have received a passionate response.
But today...
Tang Xiao struggled hard to push Wu Jie away.
"Have you gone mad? I asked you for a reason, what are you trying to do?"
Wu Jie’s lips curled into a slight smirk, a hint of wicked laughter crossing his face.
Without waiting for Tang Xiao’s reaction, he lifted her by the waist and strode towards the bedroom.
...
Around ten in the morning. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Outside the east gate of Xikelse Flourishing City, a few hundred meters of the dual four-lane road was temporarily closed.
Under the curious and anxious gaze of many, a turboprop light aircraft buzzed and soared into the sky.
Shortly after takeoff, Qian Le and Zhang Ren, as if they had agreed upon it, hurriedly reported the situation.
Crazy!
Wu Jie has really gone mad!
To think he’s going alone, without any weapons or ammunition, not even a nuclear warhead, flying solo to Baldet.
Whoever dares obstruct him shall be tried by martial law and executed by firing squad on the spot.
So, everyone could only hold back and wait; as soon as Wu Jie flew away, they quickly reported and asked for instructions.
But what’s the use?
Wu Jie is notoriously unconventional. If he did things by the book, he wouldn’t be himself.
Therefore.
Upon receiving the urgent report, Elder Tan didn’t worry too much.
He believed Wu Jie wasn’t that foolish; with a fortune wealthy enough to rival nations and numerous beautiful women at his beck and call, would this kid willingly head to his death?
Besides.
Such a badass talent as Wu Jie, no one would kill him if they took his place.
Wouldn’t it be better to confine him and drain all his talents?
Of course, the simplest and most direct approach would be to extort money from his wife Tang Xiao!
Given the couple’s wealth and their relationship, a few billion, even hundreds of billions, would surely be payable.
In short.
Great minds do not quibble over minor details.
Elder Tan, who had weathered many storms, what hadn’t he seen?
Trust in Wu Jie allowed him to remain calm, and he ordered all departments to pay close attention and await commands.
Wu Jie’s actions would surely have his arrangements.
Instead of worrying, anxious and uneasy, it’s better to think about how to execute Wu Jie’s commands efficiently and accurately.
...
Hum～
The aircraft soared through the sky.
The scorching sun blazed over the desert, as if trying to ignite the few sparse shrubs alive.
Upon hearing that Wu Jie was flying in alone, Abulaxi claimed he would arrange the most luxurious luncheon and personally come to the airport to welcome Wu Jie’s arrival.
The sense of déjà vu from this Hongmen Banquet was even stronger!
But what did he know...
Wu Jie wasn’t actually alone.
Baldet was dangerous, and Wu Jie was well aware.
His life was but one, and with so much money unspent, there were many good days ahead; why would he seek death?
No way.
Inside the cabin, two Aggregated State Combat Robots were the best companions, right?
Newly named Phantom One and Phantom Two.
Phantom Two was bought just last night, to provide close protection for Tang Xiao, to avoid any mishap when deeply surrounded.
Bringing them to the banquet, one for self-protection and the other could unleash mass carnage.
If necessary, wildly spend energy points on an assortment of divine weapons, what’s there for brother to fear?
So...
Throughout the journey, Wu Jie was humming tunes, snacking, and flying to Baldet Airport leisurely.
Unlike conventional airports built on the outskirts away from the noise, to avoid disturbing the residents.
This airport was prominently located in an urban area, surrounded by many low and dilapidated slums, with the tarmac hosting several second-generation jet fighters.
After landing, the plane slowly taxied towards a shelter teeming with people and numerous war vehicles.
Through the cabin glass, Wu Jie saw the tall, pudgy, and beaming Abulaxi.
A smile that hides a knife?
Brother will treat you as a dead man, that’s all...
