Tranxending Vision - Chapter 763

Chapter 763: 763

The Sweeper caused a massive uproar in the Villepinte International Military Weapon Exhibition, attracting mass media attention . It filled the headlines and was the talk of the town . Xia Lei, Thunder Horse Organization, Sweeper, Hellbound One-soldier Cannon along with the XL2500 sniper rifle and the Hurricane assault rifle became top searches on the net overnight . The number of “Xia Lei” searches were beating many mainstream celebrities in the process . He was now insanely popular! 

That was good news but Xia Lei found it hard to feel glee . There was no call from Dark Mona . Amanda’s satellite phone was out of service and there was no progress on the ransom for Amanda and Park Taeyong’s safety . Their lives were at stake with every passing second! How could he be happy with the problems flooding his life? 

“Still no news about it?” Xia Lei asked Yelena . They were the only ones in his office .

Yelena replied, “Don’t worry too much, father is devising a way around this . ” 

“But what can he do?”

“You must have forgotten that father has five fighters in his hand . I believe that they are already mobilized,” she reminded him .  

Five fighters . . .

“Do you know who those five are?” 

Yelena wagged her finger . “Trust me, I’m not trying to keep you in the dark . I really don’t know much about them . ” 

“Impossible . ”

“Nah, it’s not that complex of a situation . I only know a tad bit about the former pig, Yevgeniya . I’m sure you’re aware that Liang Siyao killed her . Her position was replaced but I wasn’t told by whom . ” 

“What about the other four? The snake, rat, monkey and rabbit?” 

She explained, “Well, they hardly move with us but I do know that father assigns them the harder missions . ”

“Can you tell me everything you know?” Xia Lei was hopeful .

“Alright . ” Yelena sighed before she went on . “The rat is Japanese and an expert in stealth, assassination, and poison . An extremely dangerous assassin . ”

“Is he a ninja?”

“I guess you could say so . Her name is Tsukino Kyoko . ”

“It’s a she?” 

“Are you surprised? Perhaps she might be a beauty,” said Yelena .  

“ . . . ”

“The monkey is an Indian man named Anjum Khan . He’s a sharpshooter . The rabbit is Iraqi and his name is Sa’im al-Majid al-Tikriti but you could just refer to him as Sa’im . He’s an intelligence expert, essentially father’s eyes and ears . A lot of the information I provided you before was from him . The snake…” Yelena paused . “Sorry, I don’t know anything about him . He’s the most mysterious member of the Chinese Zodiac Battle Team . I’ve never heard of his name nor seen him before . ” 

Those were all Xia Lei needed to piece an impression of the remaining four members .

Each of them had attributes that aligned with the characteristics of their respective animal .

India’s Anjum Khan, the monkey, was agile and a remarkable sharpshooter .  

The rabbit, Sa’im, could be considered the backbone of the team due to his duty as the intelligence expert . Rabbit senses were especially sensitive, which made sense for him to be coined the position .  

Tsukino Kyoko, the rat, was stealthy and excellent in things that could be considered “shady business” .  

The identity of the pig remains unknown .

The snake remained the most mysterious member of the team as not even Yelena had encountered him before .  

“Don’t tell father I told you these . He mentioned that he wasn’t planning on revealing much to you yet,” warned Yelena .  

Xia Lei smiled, “Alright . Honestly, I don’t see how it’ll affect anything but since you told me so, I won’t utter a single word about this . ”

“If Amanda and Taeyong knew you were paying fifty million USD for their ransom, they would be beyond moved . ” Yelena looked at Xia Lei with a straight face . “If I happen to fall into their hands someday, would you come to my rescue with that amount too?” 

“Of course, but I don’t wish for anyone to get captured by the FA Organization again,” replied Xia Lei .  

Yelena sighed and mumbled, “The death of Marcus and Bagu had us short of two members . While there is a replacement for the pig, who would come fill in their absence?” 

Inexplicably, the images of Qin Xiang and Lu Sheng appeared in Xia Lei’s mind . Qin Xiang was a very skilled thief with great agility . Perhaps she would be a great fit for the goat’s position . On the other hand, Lu Sheng was a martial artist, seemingly the most suitable person to take over Marcus’s spot . The man also had attributes that aligned with the ox . Sadly, this thought shall remain a thought, Xia Lei couldn’t bear to see them lead such dangerous lives .

Footsteps were heard approaching the door and soon enough, Liang Siyao had appeared at the entrance .  

Yelena announced, “Director Xia, I’ll excuse myself now . ”

“Alright,” Xia Lei replied .

The two women walked in opposite directions, one was heading to the exit while the other was venturing deeper into the office . As their shoulders brushed against each other, they gave the other a look through the corner of their eyes but not a single word was uttered . Yelena’s glance was filled with malice .  

“I don’t think she likes me very much,” commented Liang Siyao as soon as the other female was out of sight .  

It was only natural for Yelena to despise Liang Siyao . She was the one who killed Yevgeniya after all . The knowledge was something Xia Lei had to keep hush from her . “Don’t mind her, she doesn’t have the best temper . Come, take a seat, what would you like to drink?”

Liang Siyao gave a small smile and replied, “Tomato spare ribs soup . ” 

Xia Lei laughed, “Sorry, I only have tea, wine, and coffee here . If you really wanted to have soup, why didn’t you make it at home? There’s no soup in my office . ”

Her gaze had a hint of resentment . “Do you remember how you would cook for me back then? I loved the tomato spare ribs soup you made . You were so nice to me . What happened?” 

Of course, he remembered those days but the thought of it had his heart clenched . If it wasn’t for her betrayal, their child would probably be crawling about now . What was she trying to achieve by bringing that up? It was a lost cause with no chance for redemption .  

“I… I was joking, I’m not thirsty . ” Liang Siyao switched the topic . “I’m here to talk about it . ”

Xia Lei immediately knew what she was referring to . “What did you find out?”

The female turned around to check for any unwanted presence and then her gaze settled on his relaxation room . “Let’s go in there to talk about this . ” 

“Well, my office…” Xia Lei wanted to keep the conversation in his office but Liang Siyao had already left her seat and started walking to his relaxation room . Seeing this, he could only muster up a wobbly smile before following suit .  

A faint fragrance floated about the relaxation room . It wasn’t perfume yet it wasn’t the air freshener . It was akin to olive oil . The interior was a total mess too, the sheets on the bed were crumpled . A stray slipper here and there, scattered magazines on a messy table, the whole place was really untidy .  

“It looks like a pigsty . ” Liang Siyao sniffed the air, confused by the smell . “What is this smell?”

It was Fan Fan’s antidote .  

There’s no way Xia Lei would reveal it . “I had some cold noodles here last night, that must be what you’re smelling . ” 

“Ugh, I can’t stand it . I’m just going to clean this for you . ” She started to pick up stray objects .  

“No need, I’ll just have the cleaner take care of it later,” mumbled Xia Lei awkwardly .  

That, however, didn’t stop Liang Siyao at all . She arranged the magazines on the table into a neat stack before reuniting the slippers and placing it underneath the bed . Lastly, she grabbed the edges of the blanket and fluffed it out before a pair of lacey panties flew into the air .  

The unassuming garment was launched into the air before it lightly touches the ground .  The two had their eyes glued to it, one was nervous while the other was less so .

“Whose panties are those?” Liang Siyao averted her gaze from the underwear to Xia Lei .  

Xia Lei shook his head with an unreadable expression . “I don’t know . ”

“This is your bed . How could you not know who left their underwear here? “

Xia Lei was most aware of its owner . Fan Fan was the last woman who slept here… but he didn’t expect her to leave her underwear in his sheets! He screamed internally, cursing the damn woman . How could she not know what she was lacking when she left? 

“Nevermind . ” Liang Siyao said gloomily while giving him a wobbly smile . “Who am I to you? I have no right to judge your private life . ” 

Xia Lei didn’t know what to say .  

“It’s fine if you don’t know whose it was . I’ll just toss it away for you,” said Liang Siyao as she bent down .  

A thought intruded Xia Lei’s mind . He quickly strode forward to snatch the underwear then he proceeded to aim it out of the window .  

If Liang Siyao had her hands on it, there was a good seventy percent chance that she would run a DNA test on it . All chaos would ensue if she ever found out that it belonged to Fan Fan .  

“You…” she glared directly into Xia Lei’s eyes .  

Xia Lei shrugged . “See, everything’s settled . Didn’t you want to tell me something? Let’s dive right into it!” 

Suddenly, a loud, piercing scream could be heard from beneath . “Hey! Who the fuck threw this filthy piece of shit on my head?! You better own up or I’ll beat the shit out of you!” 

It was Qin Xiang’s voice .  

“ . . . ” 

Liang Siyao wanted to laugh but she could only feel bitterness . There was a silent pause before she uttered, “I found some crucial clues . ” 

“Tell me about it . ”

“I don’t think it was the Tang Family who betrayed you and Tang Yuyan . Friends or family are also very unlikely . Your deaths will not be beneficial to them . The Tang Family is eager for you to marry Tang Yuyan, so your death would only counter that . Other than that, I don’t even need to suspect the people around you, harming you would do no good for them . Therefore, the more someone could benefit from your death, the more likely they are to be the culprit . ” 

Who would benefit the most from his death? 

Xia Lei didn’t even need to think much for an answer .  

“You got it?” 

Xia Lei returned a nod . “Is there any evidence to support this?”

“Sadly, no . ” Liang Siyao continued, “But I watched the CCTV footage on the day of your return . I saw Yu Shanhe standing still at the door for two whole minutes before he left . ”

“Two whole minutes?”

“Yeah, he was reading the agreement and that was the clue . He would definitely know its contents and there were no physical amendments to it, you didn’t sign it . So there’s only one possibility . He was eavesdropping your conversation with Boss Shi . Try to recall, did Boss Shi talk to you about your mission in the West province?” 

Memories of that day flashed through his mind, he then nodded .  

“Even if he had gotten something out of your conversation, Yu Shanhe is not the type of person who would leak such valuable intel out carelessly . That’s why I ran a deeper search on his underlings and I found someone suspicious . ” 

“Who?”

“Song Baicheng,” she answered .

“On the day you left with Tang Yuyan, he visited a Japanese restaurant . Weirdly, I couldn’t get my hands on the premise’s CCTV footage . ” 

Xia Lei pondered . “I think it’s best to not involve yourself further in this matter . Song Baicheng would be easy to handle but Ling Han and Yu Shanhe’s possible involvement would make the whole situation messier . I’ll manage from this point onwards . ”

“Could it be that you’re… worried about me?” Liang Siyao’s gaze was hopeful .  

Did the black lace panties affect her? She was not a tad bit bothered .  

Xia Lei was speechless .  

He could design the world’s most advanced infantry fighting vehicle but he couldn’t create an ideal love life for himself .
