Luna's voice was barely audible.
She leaned close to Meng Hao's ear, as if whispering a secret.
If she had suddenly thrown her arms around him, it would have surely attracted the attention of the surveillance personnel.
But.
Luna had been embracing Meng Hao for an entire afternoon. Even the most alert surveillance agents wouldn't suspect anything. Besides, these agents were so familiar with Meng Hao, they treated him like a brother.
In such an intimate situation, they would basically choose to turn a blind eye.
Just as Old Man Ouyang had predicted.
As the American side believed they had Meng Hao cornered, the surveillance on him began to gradually ease.
After all.
Given the current circumstances.
Anyone would develop resentment and turn to the American side.
The entire Da Xia was practically cursing Meng Hao's name.
It seemed there was no place left for Meng Hao in the entire country. m..oΓg
In such a situation, any normal person would rebel!
Luna's voice was kept very low.
Even under the quiet night sky, it remained faint.
"It's like this..."
"When I went out today..."
"These agents seem to have relaxed their surveillance considerably... As long as I don't use my phone within the villa premises, they don't pay much attention... When I went to the supermarket to buy ingredients, a girl handed me a note..."
A girl.
A note?
Meng Hao raised an eyebrow.
Luna carefully handed the note to Meng Hao.
And continued,
"She was a girl with a very elegant demeanor..."
"It seemed like she had served in the military..."
"She was very thin and looked troubled..."
Likely served in the military.
Looked troubled.
No need to guess, it must be Zhang Qianjin.
He truly hadn't expected this.
She hadn't left.
Meng Hao secretly lowered his head.
And opened the note.
It was familiar handwriting.
Delicate yet with a touch of heroism.
"The country doesn't believe you've defected. Find a way to escape or transmit your coordinates!"
*Buzz.*
A surge of warmth instantly flowed from Meng Hao's heart.
As expected.
His guess was correct.
The country was merely putting on a show for the American side to make them lower their guard.
They had never given up on him.
"Thank you, you!"
Meng Hao took a deep, muffled breath.
And calmed his racing heart.
He understood.
The immense risk Luna had taken with this action.
The American side wouldn't do anything to Meng Hao.
However.
Luna was merely an insignificant pawn.
If the American side, especially the ruthless Lieutenant General Tommy, were to discover that Luna was secretly helping Meng Hao transmit messages.
At best, they would revoke all the benefits Luna had gained from her cooperation with the American military over the years.
At worst, they would make her disappear without a trace.
"It's okay."
"I told you, I will always follow you."
Luna's embrace tightened.
Suddenly.
Meng Hao burst into laughter.
Then, he turned and swept Luna up in a bear hug.
"My dear Meng, what are you doing?"
Luna panicked at Meng Hao's sudden action.
"Didn't you say, we have an old saying in Da Xia, 'Marry a chicken, follow a chicken; marry a dog, follow a dog'..."
"But you always felt the premise was becoming my woman first..."
"Well, now, I'll fulfill that request for you..."
Half a month.
Only now.
Had Meng Hao truly accepted this woman, who was so cunning, yet "foolish" enough to risk disappearing to help him transmit messages.
Since.
He had confirmed that this woman was sincere towards him.
Then, true sincerity must be met with true sincerity.
"Oh my."
"My dear Meng."
"I'm not ready yet, can you give me a moment to compose myself!"
Although.
Luna had been "seducing" Meng Hao for the past half month, and she had felt an emptiness in her heart because Meng Hao had never responded to her advances.
But.
As they were about to consummate their love,
She became as flustered as an inexperienced young girl.
This.
Must be the strange emotion that arises when a woman offers her heart to a man!
...
Meanwhile, in the United States.
Lieutenant General Tommy was waiting for something.
He sat there for over ten hours, as if waiting for some response.
"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General."
"Intelligence from Australia has arrived."
A subordinate hurried over.
"Oh?"
"What was Meng Hao's reaction after regaining contact with the outside world?"
The subordinate immediately reported in rapid succession everything that had happened: how Meng Hao had sat in a daze for over ten hours, and then finally returned to his room holding Luna.
After listening, Lieutenant General Tommy burst into laughter.
"Good, good, truly excellent!"
"After planning for so long, this kid Meng Hao has finally fallen into the trap."
Seeing Tommy's elation, the subordinate quickly asked,
"So, do we need to contact Meng Hao now? To have a conversation!"
Lieutenant General Tommy shook his head.
"No need."
"We've waited for over half a month, we can afford to wait a little longer."
"Contacting Meng Hao at this moment would be interrupting their good time!"
"He's finally resigned himself. This woman, Luna, I've seen her profile... a woman who would do anything for profit... She's been trying to seduce Meng Hao for over half a month, but he hasn't taken the bait... Now, Meng Hao dragging her into his room can only prove one thing: Meng Hao has completely abandoned any thought of returning to Da Xia... He's been utterly hurt by the netizens of Da Xia!"
Lieutenant General Tommy stood up.
And stretched his joints, which had become stiff from sitting for so long.
"Young people,"
"A little passion isn't a problem."
"However, Luna has also made quite a contribution in this matter."
"I will keep my promise and grant that woman one request later."
...
After half a night of activity.
Dawn broke.
Meng Hao, with his upper body bare, leaned against the headboard drinking tea.
Having vented his excess passion, his mind was now incredibly clear.
Since the Da Xia government had never doubted him, and had even been playing along with him to make the American side relax their guard.
Then.
He could completely feign joining the United States.
And find an opportunity to leave when their attention further relaxed.
After finishing half a cup of hot tea.
Meng Hao planned to contact Lieutenant General Tommy.
He tiptoed out of bed... Luna, exhausted from the night's activities, was deeply asleep.
He picked up his phone.
There was a text message.
It was from Lieutenant General Tommy.
Judging by the time, it had been sent three or four hours ago.
Uh.
It seemed.
Tommy, the old fox, was quite considerate.
He had only sent a message to avoid disturbing Meng Hao.
The message was short, only a few words.
"Please call back when you have time!"
Meng Hao put down his phone for the moment and went to the bathroom to wash himself.
He changed into a fresh, clean set of clothes, adjusted his mood, and then calmly dialed Lieutenant General Tommy's number.
