Chapter 1604: Probe the reality
The reason for looking at Feng Shui did not arouse the suspicion of the family.
Although Xiao Churan had always hoped that Ye Chen would not continue to run around looking at Feng Shui for others, she also knew that she couldn't force Ye Chen, so she didn't say much.
Ye Chen packed two simple changes of clothes and prepared to go out early in the morning before dawn. Who would have thought that Xiao Churan also quietly set an early alarm, climbed out of bed quickly, and insisted on sending Ye Chen to the airport.
Seeing her firm attitude, Ye Chen did not refuse. The two agreed that Ye Chen would drive when going to the airport, and Xiao Churan would drive back directly after arriving. Ye Chen's reason was that this would save time from having to go to the parking building to park, and they could just stop temporarily at the entrance of the departure area and leave immediately.
Xiao Churan agreed, and the couple went out together.
Xiao Churan still thought Ye Chen was just going to Rongcheng and had no idea that her husband was going to Syria, so on the way, she introduced the local snacks of Rongcheng to Ye Chen, telling him he could go and taste them if he had time.
Arriving at the airport, Ye Chen parked the car on the side of the road in the departure area and said to Xiao Churan, "Alright, hurry up and drive home. Since it's still early, you can still catch up on some sleep."
Xiao Churan nodded. Both of them got out of the car. Xiao Churan switched to the driver's side. Before getting in the car, she asked Ye Chen, "Husband, about how long will you be back?"
Ye Chen thought for a while and said, "If it's fast, one or two days; if it's slow, two or three days. It mainly depends on whether the Feng Shui situation over there is tricky or not. If it's more tricky, it might be a few days later."
"Alright." Xiao Churan nodded gently and said, "Then you must take good care of yourself these few days, eat on time, and go to bed early."
"Good." Ye Chen agreed readily and instructed her, "Pay attention to safety when driving back."
"Mm, I know!"
After Xiao Churan finished speaking, she got in the car and left reluctantly.
Ye Chen watched her car drive away before walking towards the business jet terminal.
At this time, that incredibly precious Concorde of the Ye family had already made all preparations before takeoff.
Ye Chen passed the security check through the VIP channel. After boarding the plane, it was 6:00 AM Beijing time, while Syria was five hours behind China, and it was 1:00 AM at night there.
Ye Chen felt that Hamid would likely not be asleep so early, so he used the satellite phone on the plane to call Hamid.
Hamid received a call from an unfamiliar number. After connecting, he said with some vigilance, "Hello?"
Ye Chen said immediately, "Hello what, it's me."
Hamid said excitedly, "Oh, Brother Ye! Why are you calling me at this time?"
Ye Chen said, "I am on a plane right now. The plane is about to take off for Beirut Airport in Lebanon. After I arrive at Beirut Airport, I will immediately transfer to another plane to Syria. At that time, I will parachute over your base just like last time. If it's fast, I should be able to arrive before dawn local time in Syria."
"What did you say? You are coming to Syria?" Hearing this, Hamid was so excited that he couldn't be more, and blurted out, "Brother Ye, are you kidding me?"
"Of course not." Ye Chen said seriously, "I am going over this time to bring Su Shoudao back to China, and by the way, to see how things are over there."
"Great! That's really great!" Hamid said excitedly, "I was dreaming of you coming to the scene to give me some guidance, but I didn't dare to hope for it. I didn't expect to get my wish this time!"
As he spoke, Hamid asked with some surprise, "Oh, by the way, Brother, you said you can arrive before dawn? It's still more than 5 hours until dawn here. You flew over from China by plane, it must take at least 10 hours, right?"
Ye Chen smiled, "Ordinary planes might take 10 hours, but the Concorde only needs 5 hours."
"Damn..." Hamid exclaimed, "You even have a Concorde. I really admire you to the ground..."
Ye Chen said indifferently, "It's not mine, I borrowed it."
Hamid blurted out, "Being able to see such an awesome plane is also a skill!"
Ye Chen smiled noncommittally and said, "Set an alarm to wake up in five hours and get some rest. See you in five hours."
"Good!" Hamid said excitedly, "See you in five hours!"
Soon, the Concorde flew into the high altitude of more than 10,000 meters against the morning glow, flying rapidly towards the west.
More than four hours later, the Concorde landed smoothly at Beirut Airport in Lebanon.
Waiting to welcome Ye Chen at Beirut Airport was still that subordinate of Ye Zhongquan from last time, Han Guangyao.
As soon as Ye Chen got off the plane, Han Guangyao hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Young Master, you've had a hard journey."
Ye Chen waved his hand, "Not hard. Is the plane ready? When are we leaving?"
Han Guangyao pointed to the twin-propeller transport plane next to the Concorde and said, "Young Master, the plane can take off at any time."
"Good." Ye Chen nodded, "No time to lose, let's get going."
Han Guangyao hurriedly led Ye Chen towards the transport plane, and at the same time said very seriously, "Young Master, the situation in Syria now has changed a lot from when you came last time. The government army has now recruited more than 10,000 elites of the Cataclysmic Front from overseas and has already fought two or three rounds with Hamid. Now they have completely blockaded Hamid's base and are constantly shrinking the encirclement. When you parachute, you must control the direction well and never deviate from the destination. Once you deviate, you might land right on top of the opponent."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "I understand. Also, does the opponent have long-range surface-to-air weapons? Will your transport plane be discovered by their radar when flying over their heads?"
Han Guangyao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, they don't have anti-aircraft radar, nor do they have surface-to-air missiles. The few anti-aircraft systems the Syrian military has are all deployed at the border, and none of the opposition armed forces in the country have fixed-wing aircraft, so they don't use that kind of anti-aircraft system. As for the Cataclysmic Front, it's the same. They are good at special operations and don't have any heavy weapons."
"Good." Ye Chen praised, "Old Han, you have a very clear grasp of the situation in Syria."
Han Guangyao hurriedly said, "I also knew you were coming, Young Master, so I found someone overnight to inquire about it from many sources."
As he spoke, Han Guangyao couldn't help but ask him, "Young Master, the Old Master asked me to ask you one thing on his behalf: have you made a contingency plan for a safe retreat? Syria now is easy to get into but hard to get out of!"
Ye Chen smiled confidently and said seriously, "Don't worry, I have my own plans."
For Ye Chen, if he were to take Su Shoudao out of Syria, there were only two ways.
One is to sneak out with him all the way, but this is too tiring and risky. Dozens of kilometers of mountain roads, walking out with Su Shoudao without being discovered by the surrounding soldiers, is both tiring and difficult.
The other is to directly have Hamid arrange a helicopter to fly out, but this risk factor is even greater, because helicopters fly low and slow. Although shoulder-fired Stinger missiles are difficult to hit fixed-wing aircraft, they are almost accurate every time they hit a helicopter. Maybe they would be targeted by the opponent's shoulder-fired missiles as soon as they took off.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Ye Chen felt that the only feasible way for him to bring Su Shoudao out was the same as when he brought He Zhiqi away last time: capture the opponent's highest commander, and then hold the emperor to command the princes! ===== CHAPTER 1605 =====
