Chapter 287: Meng Jueyan’s Message
Now all that remained for Han Yuwas to wait. Sooner or later, Meng Jueyan would reach out.
And sure enough, the very next morning, it happened.
As Han Yu was meditating beside his small courtyard pond—his body calm, spirit qi circulating slowly through his meridians—the high-grade communication jade slip hidden in his robes began to vibrate faintly.
A soft hummmm filled his ears, a resonance no one else would hear unless they stood next to him.
Han Yu’s eyes opened at once.
He drew the jade slip from his inner sleeve. The surface gleamed with swirling patterns of blue and gold, and new text began to etch itself across the surface like a letter being written in real time.
He read carefully.
’Elder Yi,
I’m happy to report that the operation was a complete success. The targets were eliminated with minimal cost, and the mission went as planned without exposure. Your information proved invaluable. Not only did it allow us to prepare a perfect strike, but our intelligence division managed to extract additional information from items retrieved on-site.
There are strong leads about a possible hidden network of loyalists under Murong Xie. We’ll be investigating further. I’ll keep you updated if anything concrete comes from it.
I was also commended by the department head and awarded a considerable amount of contribution merit for this operation. Some of that is thanks to your timely and accurate report. I genuinely appreciate the opportunity you gave me.
