Chapter 810 Death, to Him, Was an Honor

Bai Mingxu's reaction made it clear that something had happened to Bai Yunan. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Lu Qingyou didn't dare to think about what could have happened.

Back at the Lu Residence, Mr. Lu paced back and forth in the living room, feeling a bit annoyed. He then poured a glass of water for Lu Qingyou and reassured her, "Don't worry. Yunan is fine. There are always unexpected situations on every mission he goes on. You don't have to needlessly worry like this. Did you hear what I said?"

Lu Qingyou held the glass of water and looked up at him. "What happened to Yunan?"

"I already told you not to worry about it."

"It's bad, isn't it? You and Uncle Bai wouldn't be so worried otherwise." Although Lu Qingyou didn't know the specifics, she could infer from their reactions that things were not optimistic.

"You're right." Her father sighed. "Yunan did encounter unexpected circumstances this time. His team's whereabouts may have been leaked by an insider. Contact with the entire team was lost when they went on a mission during a heavy rainstorm."

Lu Qingyou didn't know what mission Bai Yunan was on, but she knew what it meant to lose contact.

Bai Yunan always carried out special missions that were confidential from the outside world. Except for higher-level leaders, no one below would know what missions they were executing.

Lu Qingyou's face turned pale as she asked, "Where did he go on the mission?"

"What are you planning to do, Qingyou?" Lu's father noticed that Lu Qingyou's tone was off and cautiously reminded her, "Do only what you need to do. This is not your business. Don't get involved."

Not wanting to say more, Mr. Lu turned around and went upstairs.

He knew his daughter better than anyone else. If she found out what had happened, she definitely wouldn't let it go so easily.

Of course, she wouldn't ignore anything related to Bai Yunan.

"Dad!" She stopped her father.

Mr. Lu sighed. "Be good and listen to me."

Seeing her father's tired face, Lu Qingyou felt a bit sorry for him. She stepped aside and let her father pass.

Mr. Lu looked at her and shook his head. "Qingyou, the mission Yunan is on this time is highly classified. I don't know much about it myself. Not even Bai knows much. We will handle this. You're still a child, so just focus on your work."

"Okay." Lu Qingyou forced a smile, nodding. "I understand."

Mr. Lu knew that Lu Qingyou had a good sense of propriety when it came to important matters. After reminding her again, he turned and went upstairs.

...

Because of Bai Yunan's situation, Lu Qingyou was not in a good mood when she went to work the next day and ended up making one mistake after another.

However, no one in the company said anything about it, as everyone knew that Lu Qingyou had a special relationship with the boss. Another reason was that Lu Qingyou was always humble and had a good relationship with her colleagues.

During lunchtime, Bai Yeqi came to find her for a meal.

When they were ordering, Bai Yeqi noticed that she didn't seem to be in a good mood and asked, "What's wrong? Are you not used to the company?"

"I'm used to it. Everyone is nice to me." Lu Qingyou took a deep breath and turned to look out the window.

"What's the matter, then? Weren't you fine a few days ago?"

Bai Yeqi had been living in the city apartment recently and hadn't returned to the military compound, so he had no idea about Bai Yunan's situation.

He handed the menu to Lu Qingyou, who took it and flipped through a few pages before randomly ordering two dishes. She asked him, "Something happened to Yunan. Are you aware?"

"What do you mean?" Bai Yeqi paused in the middle of drinking water and looked at Lu Qingyou solemnly.

Lu Qingyou proceeded to tell Bai Yeqi everything she had heard and what her father had told her.

After hearing the whole story, Bai Yeqi frowned and asked, "Lost contact with the whole team?"

"Well, that's what my Dad said. Do you think he..." Lu Qingyou stopped halfway through her sentence.

That's impossible.

Bai Yeqi's expression became even more serious. "I'll go back today."

That night, Bai Yeqi and Lu Qingyou went to the military compound together.

Bai Mingxu hadn't come back yet when they returned.

Bai Yeqi went to Old Master Bai's room first.

Since Bai Jingshu got married, Old Master Bai's temper had improved a lot. Although he wasn't particularly close to Bai Yeqi, he wasn't as biased as he was before.

Old Master Bai squinted his eyes and looked at him for a while as if he couldn't recognize him.

"Grandpa, it's me, Yeqi." Bai Yeqi walked over and pulled the blanket covering his legs, speaking in a gentle tone.

Old Master Bai stared at his face for a few more seconds before he seemed to finally recognize him. "I haven't seen you for a while, have I?"

"That's right. I've been busy with work lately, so I've been living in the city."

Bai Yeqi sat down opposite him and reached out to touch the glass of water next to him. When he

found that it had cooled down, he poured the older man a cup of warm water.

Old Master Bai nodded and asked, "Where's Yunan? I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Yunan went on a mission. Did you forget?"

"Ah, so he went on a mission."

...

After leaving the room, Bai Yeqi went downstairs and asked Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu, how has Grandpa been doing recently?"

Aunt Liu was preparing dinner when she sighed upon hearing the question about Old Master Bai. "He's in good spirits, but sometimes his memory isn't very good. It seems like he's becoming forgetful."

"Please call the doctor tomorrow to check on him."

Aunt Liu quickly nodded.

He also thought of what Lu Qingyou had said and stopped Aunt Liu, asking, "Has my Dad been coming back late recently?"

"Yes. I'm not sure what he has been busy with. He often comes back late, and sometimes he comes back for a while during the day, takes a shower, changes clothes, and then goes out again..."

As Aunt Liu continued, she started to ramble, "This is such a big family, but no one comes back at all.

The house is always so empty..."

Bai Yeqi smiled but didn't say anything. In his heart, he already understood that something had indeed happened to his elder brother.

During dinner, he called Bai Mingxu, but no one answered.

Bai Mingxu still hadn't returned, so he waited in the hall until late at night when Bai Mingxu finally came back.

"Yeqi?"

Bai Yeqi saw Bai Mingxu and hesitated for a moment.

"Dad." Bai Yeqi stood up and poured him a glass of hot water. "Have you been busy lately? You are home late."

Bai Mingxu leaned against the couch and stretched his neck. "Yunan's mission this time is a bit troublesome."

"What mission is he on this time?"

Bai Mingxu looked at him with surprise in his eyes. "This is classified information. I can't tell you."

"Qingyou said we couldn't contact Yunan because we've lost contact with his whole team. We may not have a reason to know what mission they were on, but we are concerned about Yunan's safety."

Bai Mingxu frowned at those words. It seems that Qingyou has heard about it.

Even so, he wouldn't back down on this matter. "He's a soldier. For him, death, when he's on a mission, is an honor. His safety is our responsibility. Don't inquire too much or meddle as Qingyou does."
