A generation of soldiers begins with Feng Yuxiu traveling through time and space with Xu Sanduo

Chapter 378 Saigon Rose's Betrayal

"Boss, that woman has become his personal possession now, and the brothers are all complaining. They're really frustrated."

Liu Haisheng stared at the blond-haired man. "What? You all live with your lower bodies? If you bring me value, or are as strong as him, I'd dig my own mother out and give her to you. But can you do that?"

Huang Mao chuckled sheepishly, "The main problem is that Ah Hong is part of our daily routine. Now that Ah Hong has been kept by Boss Scorpion, we really don't know what to do during the day."

Liu Haisheng sneered, "That's easy. Tonight, mining will be increased fivefold compared to usual, and you'll naturally quiet down during the day."

"Huh?" The blond-haired man's face instantly fell.

"What do you mean 'huh'? Your mother's illness still needs money, and your brother's dowry money is still nowhere to be found. Get back to work." Liu Haisheng kicked him, and the blond-haired man rubbed his butt and walked out.

More than thirty thugs stood at the door, staring at him expectantly.

"No way, the boss is completely subservient to Scorpion. If we guys are really feeling restless, there's a ewe back in the mountains..."

-

The canteen of the police station at the foot of Jinhai Mountain has been transformed into a public security command center.

Police leaders who would normally never come to this desolate mountain border area gathered together.

On a large screen, various photos of scorpions were displayed.

Some of them are even photos of scorpions sleeping, and others are photos of them eating with their backs to the camera.

Feng Yuxiu and the others stared blankly at the photos on the screen.

"Such close-range surveillance? Or do we have an inside man?" Gong Jian asked in surprise.

“We have an inside man, someone who’s absolutely close to him. So our intelligence is 100% accurate,” Wen Guoqiang said confidently with a smile. “This time, Scorpion is definitely going to die.”

Gong Jian asked curiously, "At such close range, wouldn't it be better to just kill him directly?"

Wen Guoqiang shook his head. "That won't work. Our worst option is to kill Scorpion, but of course, capturing him alive would be the best. Besides, my inside man isn't good at fighting and can't kill Scorpion."

"How do we contact our inside contact?" Feng Yuxiu asked.

Wen Guoqiang shook his head. "We can't contact her. It's a one-sided affair, and her identity is absolutely confidential. If it's exposed, she'll be dead for sure. However, she already knows about our mission and will create an opportunity for us to take action in three days."

Feng Yuxiu frowned. "The signal for the operation is in the hands of your inside man? What if he betrays us? What if something unexpected happens? We can't blindly entrust our lives to the unknown."

Gong Jian nodded and looked at Wen Guoqiang, "Please forgive us, we are not used to passively carrying out missions. If any mistakes are made, all of us will die."

Wen Guoqiang frowned. "This mole has been around for a year. Please believe me, she absolutely hates Liu Haisheng's group. She wants to destroy Liu Haisheng's group even more than we do."

Feng Yuxiu shook his head. "Sorry, this is beyond our capabilities. Since the scorpion is in the mountains, we'll handle this ourselves."

Feng Yuxiu looked at Gong Jian and the others, then turned to Wen Guoqiang, "It's not that complicated."

Wen Guoqiang resolutely refused, "Do you know what we've sacrificed for this mission? How long have we been preparing? You're just cooperating with our operation. If we alert them, the border is right there, and they might all escape!"

"All the efforts made this year will have been in vain!"

Wen Guoqiang firmly opposed Feng Yuxiu's actions.

"If your comrades have concerns and are unable to carry out this mission, they can abandon it, and I will dispatch our special police sniper team to carry it out."

Wen Guoqiang's attitude was firm: we must cooperate with them and not act on our own.

Otherwise, the entire red blood cell team would have to return home.

Gong Jian glanced at Feng Yuxiu and Chen Shanming.

"President Wen, we don't mean to be cowardly, we just want everything to proceed smoothly. Your mole isn't a professional either, otherwise he wouldn't have been infiltrating for a year. We don't know the character of this kind of temporarily turned mole. Anything can happen, and the military skills of the Scorpion we're facing are no less than ours."

"You haven't even given us any information about this inside man, and you're making us risk our lives just for someone with such a title? Isn't that a bit unreasonable? Or are you 100% sure this inside man can carry out this mission?"

"If that's the case, then we have nothing to say and will absolutely cooperate with the armed police comrades unconditionally."

Gong Jian, as expected of a top student, did not lose his temper. He weighed the pros and cons and told Wen Guoqiang everything.

Wen Guoqiang was silent for a moment, then said, “That inside man was a woman, codename: Saigon Rose. She was bought from Vietnam to be a wife in the village, but was kidnapped and tortured by Wang Haisheng’s group in the deep mountains.”

"So you can rest assured, and this isn't the first time we've worked with her. Our investigators discovered her and gradually developed a relationship with her during their interactions."

"Later, one of our scouts sacrificed his life, but he never betrayed her until his death; she continued to provide us with intelligence."

"We promised to send her back after the operation is over."

Feng Yuxiu frowned but said nothing.

"Mr. Wen, you're asking us to trust a foreigner. And how can you be so sure that the investigator didn't reveal any information about Saigon Rose?"

Gong Jian voiced his doubts.

Even Feng Yuxiu looked at Wen Guoqiang.

Looking at the group of special forces soldiers in front of him, Wen Guoqiang took a deep breath and closed his eyes, "Because that investigator is my son."

Dead silence.

The only sound in the conference room was the hum of the instruments; everyone was silent.

Gong Jian raised his head. "I have no problem."

Chen Shanming responded, "I have no problem either."

Feng Yuxiu did not answer; he had a big question.

Placing his life on a completely uncertain factor was extremely dangerous for him.

Moreover, Wen Guoqiang acted too emotionally. This Saigon Rose was married to the villagers with reasonable money, and there seemed to be no reason to send her back to China.

But since Wen Guoqiang had said those words, he could only remain silent.

Three days!

The mission to kill the scorpions will take place three days later.

The area was surrounded by armed police, so Feng Yuxiu could not go out alone.

As Wen Guoqiang said, the red blood cells were just assisting in the mission; this was a coordinated operation.

Feng Yuxiu sat on the flower bed in the police station with his eyes closed, basking in the sun. This guy's team didn't need to make such a big fuss. With his skills, he could have easily killed them with his bare hands if he had infiltrated.

The scorpion will surely die then.

If you get too close, the scorpion is doomed.

These rotten rats, besides resorting to underhanded tricks, are utterly useless in direct combat.

-

Abandoned mining area.

Ah Hong hid in the dilapidated room, watching the ruthless bandits walking outside the window.

They all passed by the room with red eyes, but none of them dared to enter.

After setting up the surrounding sentries and bait mines, Scorpion took off his hat and came in.

Seeing this, Ah Hong quickly poured water, knelt down, took off the scorpion's shoes and the irritating socks, and filled a basin with water to start rubbing the scorpion's smelly, sweaty feet.

"How long are you going to stay?" Ah Hong asked cautiously.

Scorpion closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. "About a year. Money isn't that easy to earn."

Ah Hong lowered her head and a happy smile appeared on her lips. She then stood up and went out to pour out the foot bath water.

Suddenly, she saw the blond-haired man standing opposite her staring at her with a lewd look. He licked his lips and threatened in a low voice, "Come to the usual place this afternoon, or he'll leave sooner or later. Then you'll know what it means to scream your lungs out!" Ah Hong trembled, and remembering the operation three days later, she resolutely turned around and went inside.

Anyway, these people will be wiped out in three days.

As soon as I walked in, I saw a bouquet of flowers on the table.

Ah Hong stared blankly at the flowers that were blooming so brightly in late autumn.

The scorpion spoke up, "Find a bottle to keep it in; this room is too stifling."

Ah Hong walked over happily and smelled the flowers with fascination. It had been a long time since she had smelled the fragrance of nature.

In that instant, Ah Hong's heart changed; no one had ever given her flowers before.

She was raised in a hands-off manner by her family from a young age, and her stepfather always treated her as a tool.

When she grew up, she was sold to a village to be a wife. The family there treated her badly, using her like cattle or horses.

It seems that Ah Hong was born as a reproductive tool, and now, her first child has given birth to a strange feeling.

This man was the first she had ever met who wasn't interested in her body, and he was also gentle and polite.

More importantly, he was unlike any other man he had ever met.
The appearance of the scorpion stirred up a storm in the bewildered Ah Hong.

But when she turned her head, the blond-haired man was still staring at her from outside the door.

Thinking of the year of torment that felt like living hell, Ah Hong made up her mind again.

These people must die.

As for the scorpion... well, he was just unlucky.

But the next second Ah Hong was stunned. Scorpion had somehow found a bunch of cosmetics and fashionable women's clothes.

"Where did this come from?"

Scorpion smiled slightly, "I happened to see a trading market at the foot of the mountain while I was patrolling."

"Go inside and change your clothes. I'll show you the door."

Scorpion turned and walked out, then glared at blond-haired man, "If you come any closer, I'll chop you to pieces."

The blond-haired man gave an awkward smile. "I'm just wandering around. You go ahead with your work, I won't bother you any longer."

Scorpions never prey on women; it's in their nature.

Perhaps it was the most beautiful memories of his youth that made him unwilling to destroy the last vestige of purity in his heart.

Ah Hong changed into new clothes, put on exquisite makeup, and stood in front of the mirror looking at herself.

She had never looked so beautiful in the dim, damp, and gloomy room, with dappled sunlight filtering through and falling on the mirror in front of her.

This was the first time in her life she had felt so beautiful, so full of life, and so different from a mere tool. She felt like a complete woman.

Ah Hong was tempted.

She stood behind the door, looking at the scorpion standing straight outside. His broad back made her feel so at ease knowing he was such a man.

Ah Hong's eyes suddenly reddened. "He can't die. He's a good man."

Ah Hong discovered her charm and value as a woman, and for the first time, she felt genuinely attracted to a man.

Ah Hong smiled sweetly as she watched the scorpion's retreating figure.

-

"Don't even think about it. This is our mission, and we can only follow the instructions of the armed police comrades."

Gong Jian found Feng Yuxiu, who was sunbathing and looking out the door, and sat down beside him with a sigh.

"Do you think it's safe to entrust our operations to such an uncertain foreigner?"

Gong Jian laughed and said, "It's alright, there are many of us, and you're here too, aren't you? Unless these bandits have heavy weapons, even if they have false intelligence, it won't help."

"They are now under our complete surveillance, and the operation three days from now will be their death sentence."

Feng Yuxiu stared at Gong Jian, "You're too naive. Don't forget that our team members are all on their first mission; they've never killed anyone before. When it comes to life-or-death situations, how can you be sure they won't panic? This isn't a video game where you have a second chance to survive."

Gong Jian was silent for a moment, then said, “We don’t engage in close combat; we only snipe from a distance. The operations are all carried out by the armed police. Your task is to keep an eye on Scorpion; he is the biggest threat to our Red Cell team.”

"As long as we kill the scorpion, everything else is not a problem."

Feng Yuxiu stood up. "How about giving me a chance to apply? I'll sneak in tonight, and I guarantee none of these thugs will escape. Delay could lead to unforeseen circumstances. Scorpion's escape and survival skills shouldn't be underestimated."

"No way." Gong Jian refused decisively. "President Wen has been in charge of this for a year. He absolutely cannot allow any mistakes, otherwise all the manpower, financial resources, and energy invested this year will be wasted. We are only cooperating with the mission, not carrying out the main attack. If we do not comply with the mission, we will not be able to participate."

"Just stay put. There's nothing we can do about it. I'll go talk to He Chenguang and the others. You're right, these kids are participating in their first real combat mission. I need to make sure they don't have any problems."

Feng Yuxiu looked at the dirt road outside the door and closed his eyes again.

He had a bad feeling that this mission wouldn't go so smoothly.

Premier Wen is being too presumptuous.

Vietnamese people are incapable of having any bottom line or making any promises; they are born to betray others.

-

The third night.

Ah Hong washed herself clean and lay on the bed, her chest heaving with excitement, even though this kind of thing had become her daily routine over the past year.

The doorman opened the door, and Scorpion walked in, grabbed a cup, and gulped down several mouthfuls.

Suddenly, Ah Hong froze, standing naked on the ground, and shyly lowered her head. "I'm willing to sleep with you."

After a long silence, Scorpion quickly walked up to Ah Hong and said, "Get dressed. You don't need to sell your body like this."

Ah Hong looked up and said, "I'm willing to sleep with you."

Scorpion turned around, took off his clothes, and draped them over Ah Hong. "I will take you down the mountain and let you live a normal life. A normal woman wouldn't say these things. Live a good life."

In that instant, Ah Hong's psychological defenses completely collapsed.

She suddenly became emotional, hugged the scorpion, and burst into tears. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. I didn't know you would come. If only you were pregnant like those beasts, I wouldn't have any guilt."

Scorpion froze abruptly, shoving Ah Hong away and glaring at her with clenched teeth, "What did you do?"

Ah Hong covered her eyes and wailed, "I'm so sorry, I didn't expect you to be a good person."

Suddenly feeling a sense of unease, the scorpion instinctively hid behind the wall, his eyes fixed intently on the outside.

It was peaceful outside, but he felt a sense of crisis, as if there were thousands of troops outside.

Ah Hong raised her head. "I've cooperated with the police. They'll take action at dawn today. I just wanted these beasts dead, but I didn't expect to drag you into this too."

Scorpion took a deep breath to calm his inner anxiety and walked step by step to Ah Hong's side.

Ah Hong suddenly dodges, and it is usually at this moment that she is the one who gets beaten up.

But then, a pair of large, warm hands helped her up. Scorpion looked at her gently and said, "Ah Hong, tell me, do you want to go back?"

"I want to," Ah Hong cried.

"Then tell me everything you know," the scorpion asked calmly.

Ah Hong looked up, her eyes blurry with tears, and said, "Okay."
