Chapter 57

He then turned to speak to Chen Yalin softly as they walked ahead, leaving Lisa standing there alone. Lisa watched his powerful figure with his back turned and recalled the throbbing feeling that had shaken her heart when she had first spotted him in the casino, but this time, it was accompanied by a slight ache in her heart.

Soon enough, a few criminal police officers gathered around them.

Jungkook regained his composed look and he said in a low yet strong voice, "Inform Director Sun about the incident - we've alerted the enemy and the criminals will most likely try to escape. We must bring forward the arrest operation."

After Sun Pu received Jungkook's phone call, he immediately made negotiations with the Burmese officials: They agreed to immediately notify the troops of nearby bases as well as police officers to seal off the whole city. Kachin's commander in chief also immediately ordered a small army to head to Maija City to help enforce the law during the operation.

In just a day's time, Maija City looked completely different, causing the locals to panic.

At night, the criminal police officers returned to the hotel and had a short meeting to delegate tasks. The law enforcing military would only arrive tomorrow morning, so they would have to keep watch all night outside Brother Lu's main strongholds together with Ti Sai's soldiers.

Tonight's task was incredibly dangerous as the criminals might very well fight for their life when put in a desperate situation.

After the meeting was adjourned, Lisa went to the temporary control room alone. Her job was to manage logistics and coordinate the squads, and while it was not a dangerous task, it was equally nerve-wracking and stressful.

Somebody knocked on her door as she was communicating with a local police officer regarding the placement of some blockages.

Since the rescue, both she and Jungkook had been so caught up with work that they did not get to speak to each other, but now, there were only ten minutes left before he needed to set out with the team.

He had handled many high-risk tasks in the past, and he had always faced them calmly without any worry, but this time, he subconsciously came looking for her.

Once Lisa opened the door, she saw him standing quietly in front of her. The lights in the corridor were very dim, so his features were slightly hidden, but whether it was his round forehead, his profound eyes, or his high and wide nose, they all seemed to be tough and hearty. Especially deep-set eyes, which were now locked onto hers.

Lisa mouthed to him, "wait for a while," then she returned to the table and sat down as she continued talking on the phone. The lights in the room were bright and a small fan was blowing cold air from the corner of the room. She supported the phone between her shoulder and cheeks whilst she typed away on the keyboard. Her short hair was tucked behind her sweet, white-skinned ears, but a few stray strands were gently blown up by the wind; she was actually such a tiny, delicate person, but her sitting posture and demeanor were just like a man, steady, neat, and strong.

Jungkook suddenly recalled the scene inside the casino - the corridor was dark and quiet, and a couple of thugs were standing right behind her. Despite this, she put on a cold face, and even though she was panicked, her eyes flashed her resolution as she slowly approached his range. Although he was standing in the dark, the flame in his heart burned fiercely away.

He thought to himself, 'She has always acted so recklessly despite being in a relationship with me. Doesn't she know that she's my one and only treasure?'

As he watched her from behind, he felt as though she was touching his chest with her soft hands. A sense of warmth rushed through him as he could no longer take it and walked over to her. Lisa's body shook inexplicably when Jungkook hugged her from behind.
