The 3 B's- Beauty, Brains and Bravery

Chapter 302: "They never made it back"

The moment the girl was done talking to the man , she turned around and pointed her gun towards the open edge of the roof of the house and whispered to the man ,"The attacker must have guessed that we would come here. And if this guy had the guts to attack the wife of Business tycoon Lu Wei in the seven star hotel owned by Bro Zhi himself , the person doesn't lack guts at all. Running away is not his style. In fact , he is more of an opportunist. He would never leave the chance to kill , if the prey was to walk straight into his cave. I am assuming his men are hiding somewhere here nearby."

Xi Yuan nodded at the girl as he pointed his chin towards the walkie-talkie in the girl's jacket ,"You would like to inform the officers about this , darling."

The girl raised her brows at the man before she pulled out the device from her pocket , bringing it closer to her mouth ,"After we are done with this , you better get back to your unfinished Military training. This profession seems to suit you more than business , Mr. Xi."

"You want all the forces to witness our display of affection 24/7 , sweetie ?", the man asked as a smirk spread across his lips.

Rong Xinghe : "..."

Such a romantic dork , the girl sighed internally. 

BANG !

Suddenly , a sound of a gunshot resounded throughout the place as the couple took cover behind the two broad cement pillars inside the house , as they tried to search for their targets. 

BAM !

Roughly fifteen seconds later , another shot was fired from Xi Yuan's gun , the bullet penetrating straight through the forehead of the attacker , as the body collapsed like a deck of cards on the ground. 

As if on cue , the other attackers started to jump down the roof shelf with their MG-42 rifles , bombarding the couple with continuous heavy gunfire. There were exactly 20 of them. But it wasn't an issue for Rong Xinghe , neither was it a matter of trouble for Xi Yuan. So Xinguan simply focussed on the task at hand , completely diregarding the fact that they were a couple. While dealing with those animals , they were nothing but fellow comrades to each other. Just two soldiers fighting shoulder to shoulder.

Meanwhile , the five men had no idea about what Lu Wei wanted to tell them. All they knew was that it involved Rong twins' parents and that it was a pretty serious concern for the man. Hence , they were mostly confused by the man's hesitant actions. Same was the case with the Xi family , as they were standing just behind the six men.

"What is going on over here , Wei ?", Zhi Xi rubbed his right shoulder tiredly as he questioned the man ,"Firstly , how do you know anything about Kiddo's parents ? I mean.. weren't they on a confidential mission , completely under the government's scrutiny ?"

"What exactly happened , Wei ?!", asked Mo Zixuan , as he looked straight into Lu Wei's eyes ,"How do you and Sister-in-law Ningtao know about whatever it is ?"

Lu Wei glanced at his wife's closed hospital ward door before he took a deep breath and started explaining everything to the men ,"Xinghe's parents , Uncle and Auntie Rong , were already one of the most famous scientists across the globe , even before they had left for their last mission , which was two years after giving birth to Xinghe and Xiao. 

"The mission was extremely confidential , and no one other than the Prime Minister had any idea about their location during that time. As it involved the country's defence ministry's decision , neither my Mom and Dad nor me , ever tried to search for them. 

"But everything turned upside down , when Rong Xinghe's train incident in Country I took place."

The five men looked at Lu Wei with a stunned expression , as the dark memories of the eleven year old incident started floating in front of their eyes. That time was the most dreadful part of the Six men's past. That wasn't something they liked to discuss among themselves even today. Nothing related to that incident brought them slightest bit of delight. Nothing. So the moment Lu Wei mentioned the frightening train incident , the five men just knew that this entire conversation was going to end into something even worse. 

"W..what is the connection between the train incident and Kiddo's parents ?", Zhi Bo asked after sometime.

"Umm... After the doctors concluded that Kiddo was in vegetative state for an uncertain time period , I was really scared. Scared to lose her , just like all of you. At that time , when we were all trying to figure out every possible way to get her out of that , I realized that maybe her parents' presence or even the mention of their name would help her in some way. But for that , I needed to know at least something about them first.

"We have all seen Xinghe since her childhood guys. Other than us , no one has seen Kiddo cry for her mother's hug and father's pat on the back. Back then , for me , Uncle and Auntie Rong were my last sliver of hope. As a result , I hired the premium team of Private Investigators from Lu Corporations to get a word about their whereabouts. But if I'd known that they would bring me Xinghe's worst nightmare in the form of information to me , I would've never attempted to know about them in the first place."

As they saw Lu Wei close his eyes and clench his both fists tightly , an unknown fear crept across the five men's hearts. This definitely wasn't good. Xinghe's worst nightmare could only mean one thing. And that was a possibility they didn't even wanted to consider.

"Wei , what is it ?", Su Rogguang asked worriedly.

"Apparently , Uncle and Auntie Rong were done with their research five years after they had left the girls into the Rong family. Which means , they were returning back to Country X when Kiddo and Xiao were seven. But in their way , they...", Lu Wei paused to gather all his strength before he brushed his gaze over the five men , finally stopping at Zhi Xi.

"Their flight had undergone a terrifying , a destructive blast. My men told me that it was a well-planned murder. But anyway , they never made it back. The parents our Kiddo has been searching for all her life , had left her long ago guys."
