Upon hearing those words, Yun Bixue was taken aback. Smuggling ammunition?

This was a grave matter. Xie Limo must have expended a lot of effort by getting his people to monitor the boat. She couldn’t believe that the boat had been blown up tonight.

She decided immediately. “Let’s go. Let’s not delay anymore and go take a look quickly.”

Xie Limo grabbed Yun Bixue’s hand and said, “You can’t leave just like that. Go, get prepared and be fully equipped. I’m afraid that the other party had already discovered something and is trying to use the boat as bait to trick us and wipe out the ones keeping an eye on them.”

Yun Bixue’s eyes widened for a fleeting moment, but she calmed down. She then hurriedly prepared to equip herself.

When Xie Limo came out from the study room, he was holding a gun in his hands. Passing it to her, he said, “I’ll give this to you. If you’re going, you have to stay by my side. We cannot be separated at all.”

Yun Bixue took the gun and kept it by her waist. She answered solemnly, “Don’t worry. I’ll be your assistant this time.”

This was the first time she carried out a mission with Xie Limo at night. She knew that she had to do a good job. Only if she performed exceptionally would Xie Limo feel assured to bring her along in the future.

Although Xie Limo felt wary about letting Yun Bixue tag along, it was still better than her secretly trailing behind him.

He held Yun Bixue’s hand, and they walked out in the darkness.

A low-profile yet luxurious car slowly drove towards the harbor. Because of the explosion, the area near the coast had been alarmed. Even the police cars were making their way to the harbor.

Yun Bixue sat in the passenger’s seat and looked ahead. She said, “It’ll be lively tonight. The other party will take advantage of this incident and strike.”

Xie Limo drove and instructed seriously, “Yes, that’s why you have to be very careful.”

Yun Bixue nodded. “I know. I’ve already experienced so many things. I won’t be cowardly anymore.”

Yun Bixue knew that tonight’s mission wasn’t that simple, and it filled the car with a thick and heavy atmosphere.

Xie Limo accelerated the car, and the two of them tore down the small alleys, taking a shortcut.

When the two of them arrived at the harbor, many people had gathered there already. Debris floated in the sea, and there were no other traces.

Many fishermen and citizens surrounded the area as they watched on. However, the storehouse was hidden in the darkness. Nevertheless, Yun Bixue still heard a faint gunshot.

She exchanged glances with Xie Limo, and without a word, they understood what each other meant.

Although the other party had used a silencer, given Xie Limo and Yun Bixue’s sensitive hearing, both of them could tell that the shot came from a powerful gun.

Yun Bixue and Xie Limo both thought that they definitely couldn’t let any single lead get away now.

Although Yun Bixue didn’t know what Xie Limo was trying to fish out, she felt that it must have been related to the noble families in the capital.

This was the chemistry that had grown between them after spending a long time together. Moreover, Xie Limo had been truthful with Yun Bixue, and she had come to realize many things on her own.

The two of them whipped out their guns at the same time and began to climb up a building. They wanted to get a good view of everything so as to strike easily.

However, as they stood and looked down at the alleyway on the second floor, they saw nothing but a few men who had been shot.

Yun Bixue was just about to jump down to check if there were any leads on their bodies, but Xie Limo held her back. “Be careful, it might be a trap.”

Xie Limo then threw a pebble into the air. As it landed, the sound of a gunshot reverberated. It had been shooting in the direction where the pebble had landed.
