Chapter 1495: More than Friends but Less than Lovers

"Yes, you are also responsible. You are the boss of Wuyoumen. You are a good hands-off manager. Do you know what happened in Wuyoumen in its early years?" Xiao Qiao looked at Wesley with a sneer.

"It was indeed my idea to form Wuyoumen at that time, and I was directly responsible for it. At that time, I just put forward a theory that the government needed such a department to take the blame. I was young at that time, and I had a lot of training and tasks to do. I had no time to take care of Wuyoumen, so I just took the name. At the beginning, there was a joint action, and they would contact Sara through me. Later, Wuyoumen gradually got on the right track, and the various departments could contact directly. I withdrew from the role and worked in the anti-terrorism action team. I rarely cared about Wuyoumen." Wesley said lightly.

"It's clear that you don't care about anything. Maybe you can check what happened in Wuyoumen in its early days. I guarantee that you will... open your eyes." Xiao Qiao said lightly.

Wesley was silent. He knew very well that even if he found out about the internal intrigues and officials protecting each other, what would happen? He could just blame the dead Gu Xixi.

The topic was a bit heavy.

Xiao Qiao teased, "Major, look at you, we are not suitable to talk about these things. Flirting and scolding are what we should do."

She returned to the bright and beautiful Xiao Qiao. Those sinister and hateful things seemed to have nothing to do with her.

"Are you sure you are telling the truth?"

"Of course!"

"I know."

Xiao Qiao covered her chest, her face turned pale with pain. In the darkness, Wesley could not see her face clearly. Suddenly, a noisy voice came over, as if someone was yelling in their direction. Because of the language barrier, they did not understand what he was yelling. Wesley glanced at Xiao Qiao. She could not move and had exhausted her strength. Four or five men gathered on the beach, pointing their guns at them.

Wesley glanced at Xiao Qiao and was about to stand up. Xiao Qiao suddenly pulled his hand, turned sideways, pointed the gun at the people on the beach, and fired several shots in a row. Wesley reacted quickly and hid aside.

The pirates had no shelter on the beach, and Xiao Qiao and Wesley quickly dealt with them without wasting a single bullet.

The gunshots would inevitably attract other pirates. Wesley picked up Xiao Qiao, threw her on his back, and ran deeper along the beach. They did not dare to stay too far away and occupied a small high ground that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Save the ammunition." Wesley said lightly, "I just counted the heads, no more than thirty people."

Their ammunition was far more than thirty rounds.

He took some more bullets on purpose to prevent any emergencies.

"I can fight a police battalion alone, with only a few dozen people. You actually want to surrender obediently. Did you jump from a high altitude and fall stupid?" Xiao Qiao was still unforgiving even though her chest was in great pain and her body could not move.

Wesley glanced at her and thought to himself that he was indeed stupid.

At that moment, he actually thought that Xiao Qiao was seriously injured and unable to walk, so he led the people away first.

****! !

The gunshots quickly attracted the pirates. As Wesley said, there were no more than 30 people. The dark group of people gathered together. Maybe they were good at robbing, but they were definitely not good at assassination and lurking. If they all gathered together, Wesley and Xiao Qiao would hit them with one shot.

They formed a circle and shouted in a language they could not understand. It could be heard that they were very hateful and hostile. The long guns kept waving upwards, as if they were shouting slogans, in unison. Holding a bonfire in his hand, he was searching for the whereabouts of Wesley and Xiao Qiao. Xiao Qiao and Wesley hid behind the rocks side by side and did not show up. Wesley was about to shoot when he heard the sound of a circling plane.

Xiao Qiao looked up and saw two helicopters circling above their heads. There were Delta marks on the fuselage. Wesley and Xiao Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. Six SEALs slid down from the ropes of the planes, all fully armed, like dumplings falling from the sky.

The pirates chattered and suddenly dispersed.

Wesley waved and drove Xiao Qiao out.

The plane stopped on the beach. General Taylor came to pick it up in person. Seeing Xiao Qiao, he hurried over to support her. "I knew you wouldn't die from the fall. You didn't lose any arms or legs. It's good, it's good..."

"Get lost!" Xiao Qiao snorted coldly. He was indeed a little out of breath. General Taylor laughed, looked at Wesley again, and patted Wesley on the shoulder. "Well done!"

Wesley had a blank expression. Colin came over and saluted. "Major, who are the people on the island?"

"A group of pirates, no need to pay attention to them."

"Yes!"

Xiao Qiao had been holding on with one breath. When he saw General Taylor, he felt pain coming out of every pore. It was so painful that he couldn't even say a word.

People also relaxed.

General Taylor ordered his men to finish their work and send Xiao Qiao and Wesley to the plane.

"Are there any surviving agents?"

"I don't know. Xiao Qiao and I are at the same landing point. Where are the others?"

"We found Julie, but... she was seriously injured and is still being rescued. She is not out of danger yet. You are the most intact ones. It's really a miracle." General Taylor thought that if he found them, they would be at least as seriously injured as Julie, but he didn't expect that they were all conscious, especially Wesley, who didn't have any injuries at all. Although his girl looked very serious, he knew that she would be alive and kicking again after a few days of care.

Xiao Qiao was too lazy to talk, closed her eyes and rested, her consciousness gradually faded, and she fell into darkness again. This was the third time that Xiao Qiao had fainted.

Wesley patted her face, "Wake up."

General Taylor raised his eyebrows, this pursuit was... quite efficient.

Damn it!

Wesley and Xiao Qiao were fine, General Taylor was relieved, at least, Wesley was not dead and Xiao Qiao was fine, he was also relieved. The plane went to a nearby base, and did not return to New York immediately. Wesley contacted Anderson as soon as possible, and knew that his son was fine, Anderson was relieved, Wesley had only some flesh wounds, not serious at all, compared to Xiao Qiao, he was lucky.

Xiao Qiao lay in bed for a whole day. When she received Xiao Jiu's call, it was already evening and Xiao Jiu was about to arrive in New York. "General Taylor actually kept it a secret from me. It was so thrilling. If it weren't for Lena, I wouldn't have known that you were in trouble."

"I have nine lives. How could the King of Hell take me so easily? Don't worry. I've been lying in bed for a whole day and I'm full of energy. You can tell from my voice that I'm full of charm." Xiao Qiao didn't want Xiao Jiu to worry at all and tried to speak cheerfully. Xiao Jiu heard that her voice was a little hoarse and there was nothing wrong with her. Then he was relieved. "How long will you stay at the base?"

"I'll go back tomorrow." Xiao Qiao said. She had just escaped and didn't want to stay in the base for a long time. It was too unlucky during the Chinese New Year.

Xiao Jiu said, "Since yesterday, I've been restless. I knew that something must have happened to you. Xiao Qiao, you must be fine."

"Okay, okay, I will be fine." Xiao Qiao said. Lu Xiao Jiu gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone.

General Taylor came in smiling. Xiao Qiao supported himself with a little effort. General Taylor was like a smiling tiger, so gentle and kind. Xiao Qiao said, "Old man, you won the prize, and you are smiling so happily."

"Seeing you covered in wounds, I am really sad."

"When you say you are sad, don't sound so happy, I can barely believe you."

General Taylor laughed, "I said, you didn't die after jumping from a height of 10,000 meters. I really believe that you have nine lives."

"What do you want to say?"

"What's going on between you and Wesley?"

"Friends More than friends, less than lovers." Xiao Qiao said, her ruddy tongue tip gently swept across her lower lip, "Of course, lovers are almost there."

"You said at the beginning that you would shake it off if you got on her hand."

"Yes." Xiao Qiao answered as a matter of course, "Do you keep it for cooking during the New Year? By the way, you are old, why are you gossiping about my feelings? Could it be that you really have a crush on me, you perverted old man."

"Don't talk nonsense!" General Taylor's veins were throbbing. If it weren't for her injury, he really wanted to slap her. This damn girl, she is outspoken and always says shocking things.

"I think Wesley cares about you very much."

"You are not even sixty yet, and you are blind. Your wife can start looking for a second spring." Xiao Qiao didn't know what General Taylor said, so she had to change the subject desperately. She had a hunch that what General Taylor said was definitely not what she wanted to hear.

"Nonsense!" General Taylor said, "You will die under this mouth sooner or later, Xiao Qiao, don't mess with Wesley, you can't afford it."

"What a joke, what else in the world can't I afford to play with?"

"There are so many handsome men, if you want to look good and have a good figure, you can pick any in the barracks, why do you have to pick Wesley?" General Taylor said, "The navy are all 1.8 meters long legs, and there are many with good figures."

"They are not Wesley, why should I flirt with them, and besides, I like Wesley!"

General Taylor felt that he was really worried. Xiao Qiao's arrogant, cool and arrogant personality, except for Xiao Jiu who doesn't like everyone, who else can he like? He actually likes Wesley.

For Xiao Qiao, falling in love at first sight is a joke. As long as a man doesn't disgust her within three days, she can basically flirt with him and have a long and short relationship with him. If she doesn't disgust her within a month... Oh, it hasn't happened yet, only Wesley.

Xiao Qiao is a person who loves the new and the old and loves freedom. She is a little bit of a clean freak in her relationship. Very few men can last more than seven days in front of her. Wesley is already a miracle.

Is it because he is always restless because he can't get it?

"You play with fire, one day you will burn to death."

"You must have read too many novels." Xiao Qiao said, "I am so cool and can take it or leave it. Look at Wesley, you still think he can really fall in love with me, don't joke, okay."
