“Do you dare to do this again?” Jiang Chen’s hand stopped in mid-air as he looked at Natasha who was begging for mercy; a smug look appeared in his eyes .
“No…No!”
Although she didn’t exactly know what he was referring to, she did not dare to be argumentative at this moment .
Watching Natasha’s blond hair swing back and forth, Jiang Chen finally nodded in satisfaction and put down his raised hand .
Training seemed to be successful .
Natasha glared at Jiang Chen with a hateful look and turned her head back . Jiang Chen was not surprised either, if someone slapped his butt, he would feel hateful towards them too . However, compared to being hated, he was more worried that she would again disappear on him without saying a word .
“Do you know why I slapped your butt?”
“…” Natasha didn’t speak, her lips pressed tightly together .
“Do you know how worried I was?”
Although he couldn’t see her face, he could clearly feel the tensed muscles in her abdomen relax slightly .
Jiang Chen smiled and didn’t speak further . He released her wrist and waist and then let her go .
Natasha, who “regained her freedom”, did not come down from his lap . She just stayed in his lap .
At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly heard the sound of splashing water .
That sound was very soft and very quiet as if a pearl had fallen on the sofa .
He froze for a second, then reached out to comb her hair back . When he saw her teary eyes, he suddenly panicked .
Although he wanted to punish this girl, he never wanted to make her cry .
Just as Jiang Chen was helplessly looking for ways to appease her, Natasha’s right hand pressed against the sofa and she slid down from his lap . Then she looked at him .
Due to the lack of room inside the car, she could only kneel in front of him as she softly bit her lower lip . Her face was written with weariness and bloodstains were still visible at the corners of her mouth, and now tears were emerging from her eyes .
“I hate you . ”
“I—”
Jiang Chen was just about to say something, but his lips were quickly blocked by Natasha who rode onto his legs . A soft and indescribable thing aggressively entered his lips, causing havoc .
Suddenly, the frightened Ayesha accidentally stepped on the gas and almost knocked off Jiang Chen’s teeth
With a glorious and victorious expression, Natasha wiped the corner of her mouth with her sleeve and said fiercely .
“I hate you… you stole my heart . ”
This time, Ayesha almost stepped on the brakes, and Jiang Chen in the back was completely stunned .
Although he was moved, it was exactly like the plot of a romantic comedy .
But it was not the time for Jiang Chen to think about this . With both of his hands around her waist, he coughed, then continued the plot .
“Then just hate me forever . ”
However, this seemed to have worked extremely well .
Natasha’s eyes gleamed with tears as she “munched” on him .
Enjoying the softness, for a glimpse of a second, Jiang Chen noticed with the corner of his eyes that even Ayesha, who had never been jealous, started to pout .
To avoid the Ukrainians and Arrow on their journey home, Jiang Chen made Ayesha take the long way . Instead of crossing the Russian-Ukrainian border directly from the forest on the east, they drove along the forest to Starobersk and took a detour of more than fifty kilometers .
Although they were already far away from Donetsk’s front line, driving at night was still very dangerous . Turning on the lights could cause them to be detected easily from a far distance, but driving without lights meant that they could accidentally drive into a ditch . The most pressing issue now was to find a safe spot to spend the night .
Fortunately, at the edge of the forest, Ayesha discovered a logging yard . Judging from the rusty iron gate and the mushrooms on the woods, this logging site seemed to have been abandoned for a long time . Since there was no owner, they requisitioned this logging yard .
After they drove into the warehouse, Ayesha stepped out of the vehicle and deployed four Hummingbird drones into the area . She then connected the drones to the terminal at the back of the vehicle .
Jiang Chen was taking out the outdoor gasoline stove from the trunk of the vehicle . There was no shortage of food and water, so he started to cook noodles in the middle of the warehouse .
It didn’t take long before the delicious aroma filled the warehouse . The three people soon started to slurp on the noodles placed in stainless-steel bowls .
The noodle was far from delicious as the ingredients were dried meat and dehydrated vegetables, but they devoured the food . Jiang Chen didn’t mind the taste of his food, Ayesha enjoyed whatever Jiang Chen cooked… As for Natasha, it was purely out of hunger .
In the past two days, she only drank the sour nutrient supply . It was the first time she even ate anything remotely hot .
As the night grew darker, the three laid their sleeping bags in the middle of the warehouse and then arranged their lookout schedule . Originally, Ayesha insisted Jiang Chen does not participate, saying that she could watch two shifts . However, in the end, she could not convince him and had to agree to include him .
Ayesha would take the first shift . With a long day of driving tomorrow, for the safety of everyone, Jiang Chen insisted on putting her in the first shift .
After extinguishing the fire of the gasoline stove, darkness gradually returned to the warehouse .
As his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, Jiang Chen saw through the faint moonlight that Natasha, in her sleeping bag, was staring at him with her emerald eyes .
“Still awake?” Jiang Chen closed the zipper of his sleeping bag and smiled .
“I can’t fall asleep that fast . ”
“It’s better to go to bed early . We still have a long way to go tomorrow . By the way, speaking of it, it was you that night…”
“Don’t say it . ” Realizing what he wanted to say, Natasha looked away while interrupting him . “It took a lot of determination . ”
“No, what I want to say is that I didn’t feel that night at all . When will we have another in-depth session?” Jiang Chen said with a smirk .
There was a curvature on her mouth, and Natasha said while raising her eyebrows .
“Okay, once we go back . ”
The two chatted, and soon their sleepiness started to catch up to them .
Jiang Chen was yawning and just about to pass out when Natasha suddenly asked in a quiet voice .
“How did you know I was here?”
“When the soldiers under my command were in the north, they met a captive named Skanov . He claimed to be an informant of the Russian Security Service . He mentioned your name when proving his identity .
“Is that so? Skanov is not dead yet . ” Natasha sighed with relief, “Yes, what about the document?”
“The document?” Jiang Chen was confused .
Natasha’s face suddenly turned pale, and the sleepiness she had accumulated instantly disappeared .
“You didn’t get it?”
Jiang Chen frowned .
“Be clear, what document is it, what is on that document?”
“It’s a list… The organization asked Skanov to withdraw, and the list contains the intelligence resources he can use . There is also an encrypted file, I don’t know what it is, I only know it is important!”
“Tell me the name of the informant,” Jiang Chen said .
Natasha’s expression was a little hesitant at first since this involved the Russian Security Service’s confidential information on the Ukrainian issue . Even if Celestial Trade was an ally, the organization was not part of Russia .
Jiang Chen knew what she was thinking and yawned .
“Forget it . ”
“Mario Melnikov . ”
“Just one?” Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and gave Natasha a surprised look .
“And also…”
After reporting the entire list, Natasha seemed to have had her energy drained away as she hid her head in the sleeping bag, upset .
“Is this treason…”
“It must be, but you can save the lives of those informants,” Jiang Chen said while editing the audio file . Then, he sent the file to the Ghost Agent Headquarters through quantum satellites . “Why don’t you immigrate to Xin once the war is over? ”
