After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1299 - 1298: Preparing to Make an Arrest

Ou ZhenTing, with natural affirmation, stated, "Yes, Chuyi, your elder brother is correct. The situation over there remains uncertain, so it is best that you do not go. Moreover, you would not be of any assistance even if you were present."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi immediately shook her head and replied, "Dad, elder brother, there is no need for your concern."

"There should not be anyone on Xia Lianlian's side," Xia Chuyi asserted. "If there were, she certainly would not have been permitted to make this call."

"After all, her making this call is purely an act to provoke me," Xia Chuyi stated calmly. "This call serves no purpose other than to reveal her location and leak some information."

In essence, Xia Lianlian's call was simply an outlet for her pent-up frustrations.

Xia Chuyi found it hard to believe that the individuals backing Xia Lianlian would be so foolish as to allow her to engage in such a pointless activity.

"That cannot be..." Despite Xia Chuyi's reasoning being quite sound, Ou Jun and Ou ZhenTing still expressed their opposition.

"Dad, elder brother..." Observing her father and elder brother's disapproval, Xia Chuyi promptly continued, "I am familiar with both Xia Lianlian and Mother Xia. If I go, it will be considerably easier to locate them."

After all, Ou Jun's subordinates possessed at most a cursory familiarity with Xia Lianlian and were not at all acquainted with Mother Xia.

Under such circumstances, should the opposing side employ even the slightest disguise, they might evade detection.

This was a point Ou Jun could not refute.

Noticing her elder brother's hesitation, Xia Chuyi seized the opportune moment and declared, "Elder brother, please do not worry. I will not cause trouble nor place myself in any peril."

"It is simply that I have a better understanding of the two of them, particularly Mother Xia," Xia Chuyi explained with composure. "I genuinely wish to assist in their capture because..."

At this juncture, Xia Chuyi paused briefly, her eyes shining with resolute determination. "I desperately want to discover who is covertly supporting Xia Lianlian!"

More specifically, Xia Chuyi was intent on identifying which member of the Guo family had divulged the secret of Huo Shiqian's mission.

Furthermore, she sought to understand precisely how Xia Lianlian had become privy to this information.

Naturally, Xia Chuyi refrained from articulating these specific queries, fearing her father and elder brother would only become more anxious.

Witnessing Xia Chuyi's unwavering resolve, Ou Jun ultimately could only press his lips together and concede, "Very well, you may accompany me, but do not act recklessly."

"Should any danger arise, you must retreat swiftly!" Ou Jun advised sternly.

Xia Chuyi offered a faint smile and responded, "Elder brother, rest assured, I will not take any undue risks."

As for Ou ZhenTing, he could only sigh in resignation and implore his eldest son, "Junjun, since Chuyi is so adamant... you must ensure her safety."

Hearing her father's plea, Xia Chuyi smiled once more and said, "Dad, do not fret. I will not act independently. I shall remain with my brother's subordinates."

Xia Chuyi perceived her father and elder brother's concern as slightly excessive.

As a mother who had recently given birth, how could Xia Chuyi genuinely expose herself to danger?

After Xia Chuyi offered repeated assurances, Ou ZhenTing felt somewhat mollified and declared, "Alright, you may all depart then."

Subsequently, Xia Chuyi joined Ou Jun and his subordinates, heading towards the telephone booth that the instrument had pinpointed as the call's origin.

However, due to the passage of some time, by the moment they arrived at the phone booth, it was already deserted.

Consequently, Ou Jun issued an order for everyone to commence a search of the area surrounding the phone booth.

To prevent alerting their target, all of the trusted individuals Ou Jun had brought along were attired in plain clothes.
