Chapter 792 - A Man's Duty and Responsibility
Chapter 792: A Man’s Duty and Responsibility
All of a sudden, an extremely loud alarm went off before they’d even reached the beginning of the third track.
Mu Feichi stopped instantly. Yun Xi looked around, trying to find the source of the alarm. Upon realizing that it was coming from the cable car station, she instinctively grabbed onto the man standing beside her.
“What’s going on? It’s not an avalanche, is it?”
“Babe, stop being ridiculous. We’re at the top of the mountain. An avalanche wouldn’t affect us.”
“Young Marshal, that doesn’t sound like something you would normally say. Are you hiding something from me?”
Yun Xi turned her head and looked at him. With her sunglasses perched on the top of her head, she looked at his serious face with a scorching gaze.
Mu Feichi was about to lift his hand and touch her cheeks and try to change the topic, but Yun Xi immediately grabbed his wrist. She had no patience for his secretive behavior.
“Young Commander, don’t tell me that you don’t know these people who have been watching us.”
“Of course I don’t know them.” Mu Feichi wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry as he looked at her. Qi Yuan hurriedly ran over from the other side of the mountain.
Panting, he looked toward Mu Feichi and then toward Yun Xi. It took a while for him to stop panting, before he could finally speak. “Commander, there has been an incident at the cable car station, but it should be fixed by the time we want to go down.”
Since there had been an incident at the cable car station, even if they were to ski down the third track, they wouldn’t be able to take the car back up nor would they be able to take the train down the mountain.
And, to attempt to drive back to the hotel from the end of the track, they would need to go around the whole mountain. It was too far and too dangerous.
Mu Feichi frowned as he considered implementing his backup plan.
At that moment, Yun Xi seemed to have thought of something. She looked at the man beside her with a serious look as she asked, “Young Commander, when we came overseas, did we bring a few tails with us?”
Mu Feichi narrowed his eyes and sighed. “Babe, I’ll take care of this. They are probably here for me.”
Just as she’d thought, her instincts had been right once again.
But when she heard what he said, she felt a little disappointed and kicked him in frustration. “So even at a time like this, I still don’t have the qualifications to fight side by side with you?”
His attitude had made her realize a fundamental truth, and it made her feel lost and dispirited.
He half smiled as he pinched her chin. Even through the leather gloves, he could feel her resistance and displeasure.
However, as a man, he needed to take on a man’s duty and responsibility. Unless there were no other options, he wasn’t going to let her take any risks.
“Perhaps I will let you when you come out of training camp.”
Yun Xi lifted her hands to take off the sunglasses perched on his nose. She couldn’t see his eyes through the tinted lenses, and it made her uneasy that she couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
“So you wanted me to go down on the ski track while you went to handle those tails by yourself?”
Clearly, this was what he had intended when he had stopped her from going down the fourth track earlier.
“I won’t be alone. The people I’ve brought with me are enough to take care of these fools. Do you still remember Jin Lei?”
Yun Xi nodded. Previously, when she’d been in trouble at the nature reserve, it had been Jin Lei who had led Great White to save her and Yumo. Later, she had heard from Li Zilan that Jin Lei was the best soldier in Mu Feichi’s special forces.
He was a shadow, a sharp blade hidden in the dark. Even Li Zilan wasn’t sure just how strong he was, let alone any other people.
Outside of exceptional circumstances, Mu Feichi would not use people from that team.
“He’s here as well?”
“Yes, I asked the entire team to come. You know their abilities. You don’t need to worry for me. I’ll be back safely.”
Yun Xi could see his determination and actually agreed easily. Mu Feichi couldn’t believe how mature and intelligent she was acting.
