Chapter 189: The Green Bamboo Leaf
"I suspect there’s a Jeff Frost mercenary working undercover for your dad." Yusuf Zuck, after meeting with Fleur Carson with Mia and Ross’s mother in tow, rapidly crossed the river. Now, the party of four made their way toward the city center along the riverbank. Yusuf Zuck shared his suspicions with Mia as they walked.
"I also suspect someone leaked the young lady’s and my whereabouts," Ross’s mother immediately chimed in with agreement.
"Then we must find my dad quickly; he’s definitely in danger!" Mia, terrified at the thought of a traitor close to her father, almost jumped up.
"Danger is unlikely; the party is probably after money. Now that you’ve been rescued and sixteen Jeff Frost mercenaries are dead, the mole will likely not expose themselves," Yusuf Zuck squinted, continuing, "Here’s what we’ll do, use my phone to call your dad. Tell him you’ve escaped and ask him to cancel the deal with Jeff Frost."
"Okay, and then what?" Mia nodded repeatedly, now entirely dependent on Yusuf Zuck’s instructions, ready to do whatever he asked.
"After that, have your dad arrange for passports for you and Ross’s mother. Getting back home quickly is the top priority!"
"Oh, okay, I’ll call my dad." Mia reached out for the phone.
Yusuf Zuck took out his cell phone and, after a moment of consideration, decided to dial Marco Tuff’s number himself.
The phone rang four or five times before it was picked up, met with what seemed to be an impatient response from Marco Tuff, "Yusuf Zuck, what’s the matter?"
"Is anyone with Uncle Tuff right now?" Yusuf Zuck asked in return.
