Long Yan did not understand why her grandfather called at such a time.
Sitting in the room, Long Yan cautiously glanced around, and after confirming that there was no one nearby, she pressed the answer button.
Soon, Old Dragon's booming voice came through: “Yan'er, have you encountered any trouble in Japan?”
Hearing her grandfather's words, Long Yan was slightly taken aback and smiled, “Yes, Grandpa, you are well-informed. As soon as Xiao Yun set foot on Island Nation, trouble started.”
“What exactly happened? Tell me!” Old Dragon said with a serious tone.
Clearly, Old Dragon had already received relevant information in Huaxia, but he still wanted further confirmation from Long Yan.
Long Yan knew that the intelligence network of Dragon Team was quite formidable. From her grandfather's tone, she could tell that he had already noticed the series of events that had occurred since she and Xiao Yun arrived in Island Nation.
Then, Long Yan carefully recounted the incident of seizing the Water God Pearl, as well as retrieving the Heavenly Mechanism Pearl from the seabed.
Of course, she did not mention the relationship that had developed between her and Xiao Yun underwater.
After listening to Long Yan's account, Old Dragon pondered for a moment before bursting into laughter, saying, “That kid with the surname Xiao is indeed extraordinary; well done. However, you must pay attention to safety and find the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror as soon as possible. By the way, do you want me to send someone from Dragon Team to Japan to assist you secretly?”
Long Yan replied, “I mentioned this to Xiao Yun, but he said that having more people would only hinder him. So there's no need for you to send anyone, Grandpa!”
“Hmm, that's fine. Also, once you obtain the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror, you need to act quickly and eliminate Xiao Yun, while conveniently retrieving the Water God Pearl from him,” Old Dragon said firmly.
“What? Grandpa, you want me to eliminate him?” Long Yan was instantly stunned.
She never expected her grandfather would ask her to get rid of Xiao Yun.
Old Dragon spoke with conviction: “Yes, I believe you have what it takes to deal with him.” According to the information available to Old Dragon, although Xiao Yun was exceptionally talented, he had a fatal weakness: any woman who had a relationship with him would receive his utmost protection. Even if that woman sought his life, he would sacrifice his own for hers.
Last time when Long Yan was on the phone with him, she told him that in order to conquer Xiao Yun, she decided to give her body to him when necessary. Although this statement from his granddaughter struck Old Dragon hard, he understood that it was Long Yan's helpless choice.
However, Long Yan was after all Old Dragon's beloved granddaughter, and he could not bear the thought of her giving her maidenhood to a fickle man.
Yet, outside, one must obey the emperor's orders; moreover, for the sake of the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror, what other options did Long Yan have?
Furthermore, if Xiao Yun were to return alive to Huaxia, Qin Yun would surely come back from abroad upon hearing this news and would go after Xiao Yun. How could Old Dragon allow both of his granddaughters to fall into the hands of someone with the surname Xiao?
Therefore, Xiao Yun must die. Although Long Yan's report did not mention that she had already submitted herself to Xiao Yun, the intelligence he had indicated that their relationship seemed quite ordinary. It was clear that Long Yan had already developed a relationship with the person with the surname Xiao.
This felt like a sharp knife deeply embedded in Old Dragon's heart, causing him immense pain as if he might faint.
Since things had developed to this point, Old Dragon in Huaxia could only lament his helplessness. At the same time, he made a bold decision: once the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror was found, he would use Long Yan's hand to eliminate Xiao Yun.
In Old Dragon's mind, even if Long Yan failed, given her special relationship with Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun would not dare to harm her.
That said, Long Yan was always very clever and astute in handling matters; with her skills, how could she possibly fail?
"But,"
after hearing her grandfather's words, Long Yan paused for a moment and said with some difficulty, "Grandpa, I think this Xiao Yun is a valuable talent for our Huaxia. It would be best to keep him and have him serve the country. If we really kill him, wouldn't it be too regrettable?"
"No way! This person does things without following rules; he is unruly and does as he pleases. Keeping him in Dragon Team will only cause trouble!" Old Dragon said decisively.
"Grandpa, you..."
She wanted to plead for Xiao Yun again when Old Dragon seemed to sense something. He frowned tightly and sternly questioned, "Yan'er, you don't actually like this Xiao Yun, do you?"
"No... Grandpa, you know what kind of person I am. How could I possibly like him?" Long Yan replied firmly.
Hearing her granddaughter's very displeased tone, Old Dragon couldn't help but nod to himself. He understood this granddaughter too well; her personality was stubborn, and when it came to people and matters, she always preferred to use iron-fisted methods, not yielding in the slightest compared to himself.
Thus, Old Dragon softened his tone and said, "That's good, Yan'er. I hope you won't be like your sister and fall for that person with the surname Xiao. All members of our Dragon Team are iron-blooded individuals; never let romantic entanglements trouble you. Our lives and deaths are all beneath the interests of the nation!"
"Yes, Grandpa!"
Then Old Dragon seemed to remember something and sighed, "It was truly unwise of me to have you accompany Xiao Yun to Island Nation, Yan'er. You've been wronged. Once this matter is resolved, I will arrange a new job for you. I hope you can have a new environment to build your new life!"
However, Long Yan did not respond to Old Dragon's words.
Over there, Old Dragon did not speculate much about his granddaughter's silence and continued, "Also, tell Xiao Yun that the women in the country are all good. He should focus on doing his work in Japan. If he can find the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror and bring it back, I will personally award him a special merit medal!"
"Understood!" Long Yan replied.
After hanging up the phone, Long Yan sat silently on the edge of the bed. What special merit medal? By then, Xiao Yun might already be dead; who would it be awarded to?
Of course, she didn't want to convey such empty words to Xiao Yun. With Xiao Yun's cleverness, would he be easily fooled? Long Yan even hoped that in Island Nation, they could delay finding the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror a little longer. She simply couldn't imagine that Xiao Yun might die at her hands.
But how could she dare defy her grandfather's secret orders? Whatever her grandfather commanded, she could only comply. In her heart, the Dragon Team was above everything.
At this moment, Long Yan stared blankly out the window, her mind a chaotic mess. She even felt an inexplicable sadness rising within her; she wanted to cry so badly. If she had known things would turn out this way, Long Yan would willingly trade ten years of her life for not having met Xiao Yun...
