As agreed, the two of them didn’t stay on the ground for too long. They were like a pair of lovers hiding in the woods, lying together looking at the moon and talking when in fact, there was nothing to see other than the moon. It was only meaningful because there they had each other next to them. And for Ayer, not to mention breathing the fresh air on the ground, even taking a breath of car exhaust on the ground can make someone who has been stuck underground for four months feel very happy.
They were brought back to the base just as it was dawn. And everyone in the base was already busy.
After Tang Tingzhi returned to the laboratory, Xiao Yuan trotted over and said to him, “Colonel, Commander Li asks you to have a conference call with him immediately.”
“Now?”
“Yes, right now.”
Tang Tingzhi originally wanted to take a bath so that he wouldn’t feel sleepy. But now he couldn’t care less and went straight to the meeting. Ayer was bored so he went to wake Shan Ming up from his sleep. He dragged him to do morning exercises with him.
It wasn’t until noon that Tang Tingzhi came back with a solemn expression. Ayer leaned over to ask him what was wrong. Tang Tingzhi looked around and said in a low voice, “We have obtained the whereabouts of an important person.”
“Shen Yao?”
“No.” Tang Tingzhi said, “It’s Shen Yao’s wife and Shen Changze’s mother.”
Ayer said in surprise, “She’s still alive.”
“That’s right. I think we can use her to lure Shen Yao out. She is a very well-trained special soldier. So she must have her own way.”
“Where is she?”
“Xinjiang. The southern Xinjiang area. It is a very remote place. I plan to take you there.”
“Will Shan Ming go too?”
“Yes. This is a secret. Commander Li didn’t disclose it to others so we can’t leak this info. I will take you out on the grounds of performing a special mission. You don’t need to tell Shan Ming about this. I will tell him myself. You just need to be prepared.”
Ayer didn’t expect that he could actually go to the ground so soon and that he would have to travel far away. According to his limited knowledge of Chinese geography, Xinjiang is in the border area. It was close to Turkey and very far away from Beijing. Thinking that he can leave this god-damned base to go so far away to find the key person who could help rescue Shen Changze and capture Shen Yao, he was very excited. He was especially happy for Shan Ming.
Ayer nodded heavily, “When are we leaving?”
“Within three days.”
“So, I don’t need to do ‘that’ training for the time being?” Ayer blinked his eyes ambiguously.
Tang Tingzhi nodded in embarrassment, “Put it on hold for now. We’ll talk about it later. You can control the transformation for now so it’s enough to perform the task.”
Ayer smiled and said, “Shan will be happy.”
Tang Tingzhi looked into his eyes and said, “You care about each other very much.”
Ayer said: “Of course. He is my younger brother.” He asked back: “Have you looked into my background?”
“Yes.”
Ayer smiled sarcastically, “Is it interesting?”
“It’s not interesting. You were born into a British royal family. You are the seventy-eighth heir to the throne, with a bright future. But you turned into a mercenary who lost his nationality. This doesn’t really seem like an ‘interesting’ experience.”
Ayer laughed and said, “But I like the life of being a mercenary. I don’t have any relatives anymore so I don’t miss my old life at all.”
Tang Tingzhi’s eyes looked gloomy. He still can’t forget that when he carefully read the information about Ayer page by page, he found that the seven-year-old boy in the photo who lost his parents and brother due to an accident had a dull expression at the funeral. That old photo, although it was in colour, made it seem like his blond hair had lost its proper brilliance. The info also explained about the ugly disputes between relatives caused by the huge inheritance left by Ayer’s parents after their death. So he ran away. He did the only reaction his age could make. He chose to escape. He wandered in the narrow streets and alleys of London, stealing and selling marijuana. After a year of such a chaotic life, he met Lin Qiang, a Chinese mercenary who was travelling in London. Since then, he was brought into the world of mercenaries.
Ayer touched his face, “What’s with your expression? I’m very grateful to Lin Qiang for taking me away. Because I didn’t have the ability to leave by myself at the time. In fact, I wished I could get as far away from that place as possible. But I also regretted it later. Damn! Those inheritances are all mine. I can’t earn that much money as a mercenary all my life. So I feel so bad for myself as well.” Ayer clutched his chest. He actually does feel sorry for himself very seriously.
Tang Tingzhi comforted him: “You already have a lot of wealth. In fact, a person doesn’t need that much money at all. Don’t be too attached to money.”
Ayer said bitterly, “I don’t make money to feed the brood of wolves. You don’t know how much money they can spend. After Lin Qiang died, in order to maintain the basic operation of the ‘Peregrine Falcon’, Tiger Shark and I tried everything to raise money. At that time, I was only fourteen years old. I was really useless. He is the last person to say that I am greedy for money. Only Tiger Shark can understand me.” Ayer frowned.
Tang Tingzhi patted his head lightly, “Do you need me to hire you a financial advisor?”
“No. I’m the best financial advisor myself.” Ayer raised his chin triumphantly.
Tang Tingzhi couldn’t help smiling when he saw Ayer’s face full of vigour when money was mentioned.
At this time, Shan Ming came over after eating and Ayer greeted him. Shan Ming came to his rescue so Tang Tingzhi took him into a conference room and explained to him about the next mission.
Three days later, they set off as planned. They arrived in Xinjiang after a few days of tossing around in the car. After a series of hard work, they met the legendary female Dragon Blood Man–the mother of Shen Changze–Captain Zhao Qingling.
After seeing her, many things became clearer. So they made some preliminary plans.
Afterwards, they returned to Beijing, where Zhao Qingling joined them. Thanks to her, this time, Ayer was not thrown back to the base. He instead stayed in an apartment in Beijing. Although he was not allowed to go out without Tang Tingzhi’s permission, he watched with great enjoyment the spectacular traffic queues on the third ring road every day.
Afterwards, Zhao Qingling and Shan Ming acted alone while he and Tang Tingzhi prepared for the upcoming battle from Beijing. Needless to say later, after destined hardships and sacrifices, they established a plan with Shen Changze. They managed to capture Shen Yao alive. The person who had destroyed the entire ‘Peregrine Falcon’ single-handedly and killed and seriously injured many members of the ‘Peregrine Falcon’. Shen Yao is a powerful Dragon Blood Man but Shen Yao was finally defeated by them.
Ayer was also seriously injured when Shen Yao was finally captured alive. His left lung lobe was pierced, one wing of his wings was broken, and his leg bone was broken in three parts. These injuries cannot be healed easily in a human form. But because he is a Dragon Blood Man, he healed himself at a fast speed. It was even more effective compared to the treatment with medicine and equipment. In the end, there was not even a scar left at all. This is the first time that Ayer has participated in an actual combat and had been injured since he became a Dragon Blood Man. It is the first time that he has truly felt the strength of being a Dragon Blood Man. This strength is not only physical. Because of the superhuman ability shown in the body, it quickly pushes up and strengthens the heart as well. This feeling of being full of strength is simply amazing. Ayer feels like he is almost an immortal. As long as the brain and heart are not damaged, no matter how severe the injury is, it will eventually be healed.
After returning to the base, Ayer rested for a week. His injuries were basically healed. After ten days, he could already be alive and kicking.
After everything calmed down, Tang Tingzhi began to remind him about the sexual impulse control training again. Now Ayer couldn’t wait anymore. He insisted for Tang Tingzhi to be his ‘spouse’ to assist him. Otherwise, he would not do the training.
After several times of persuasion to no avail, Tang Tingzhi finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
Seeing the success of his tricks, Ayer smiled until his eyes were crooked.
