Chapter 232 The Mist (Part Three)

Technically, she was not in violation of any discipline since she just had a normal communication with
her family member.

"Well, you..." Howard didn't know what to say about her. Just then, the bartender served the whiskey
with ice. Howard took a sip and asked,"Now tell me why are you looking for me?"

"I haven't seen you for a few years. I miss you, OK?" Jenifer starred at him and said.

"OK!" Howard quickly responded, then sighed and asked again,"Is there anything else besides you
missing me?"

Jenifer shrugged and said,"No!"

"No?" Howard asked. Jenifer nodded her head in reply and when he saw this, he couldn't help but
furrowed his thick eyebrows. As one of her elder brothers, he knew her too well. She looked charming
as if she should be kept and well protected. However, there was a strong and unyielding disposition
inside her. With such disposition, she acted on her own will in front of her family since she was a child.
Even more, she had sworn in front of her family to win greater achievements than her elder brothers.
And now, she was moving in such direction step by step. Without a doubt, Jenifer had become the
pride of the Zeng Family.

All of a sudden, Howard realized the real purpose of Jenifer and smiled. "I'm afraid, you are not here
just to confirm if I arrived at A City, right ?"

Jenifer showed him a big smile and took a small sip of the Red Flame while her eyes turned from
looking fascinated to dark and fierce.

"Is it for Edgar ?" Howard asked one more time. Watching his little sister behaving in such a way for
Edgar, he could not help but frowned. Her little sister was excellent in every aspect but her only flaw



was her endless obsession with Edgar despite knowing that Edgar wouldn't reciprocate her affection.
"Jenifer, you can take a horse to the water but you cannot make it drink!" Howard said trying to
persuade her to give up her hopeless obsession.

"No, there is always an exception!" Jenifer was not persuaded at all. Instead, she replied,"I won't stop
until I have him."

"Even if you help him like this, he won't appreciate it." Howard tried to discourage her.

"It doesn't matter," Jenifer said. "I just want him to stay with me. Even if he doesn't love me, I am still
OK with it."

"Why do you have to torture yourself like that?" Howard was really worried with his eyebrows deeply
furrowed. "If you are not happy, Edgar won't be happy as well."

"If I am not happy, of course, he should be unhappy!" Jenifer didn't listen a word to his brother's
persuasion. Seeing Howard still intent on saying more about it, she changed the subject and said,"Hey,
I heard there is a good war field in A City. Would you like to come with us tomorrow? "

Howard knew that Jenifer did not want to talk about her problem further, so he nodded with a sigh, and
stopped talking. However, he was vaguely worried that if their grandfather continued to spoil her like
this, something bad would happen to her sooner or later.

When Jenifer finished drinking her glass and scheduled the time of meeting with her brother the next
day, she left the Golden Bay. Howard then left and went to the hotel where he checked in earlier and as
soon as he entered the hotel, Howard called Jonny, his grandfather.

"Hello?" The calm sound of Jonny came from the other end of the line,"Have you met Jenifer already ?"



"Yes!" Howard was known as a ruthless colonel of the special troop. However, in front of his grandpa,
he was just an obedient grandchild. "Grandpa, Jenifer is goofing around. I think you should remind her
a little bit."

"She is goofing around?" Jonny asked in a confusing way but then he laughed,"Howard, even if Jenifer
is goofing around, do you think I will also goof around because of her obsession with Edgar?"

Howard frowned and kept in silence.

"Justin Yan was in his vacation but he didn't return home!" Jonny said this matter in a calm manner.
"His whereabouts became a hidden secret and as of this moment, no one has found out where he
went."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Howard was confused and couldn't figure it out. The special troop
that he served was tasked to rigidly execute the orders from senior officers, so he has never
experienced such political struggle. "Maybe, Mr. Yan hid his whereabouts just in case he might bring
chaos to the place where he is hiding?"

The officers in the State Parliament all wanted to keep a low profile, didn't they?

Jonny shook his head. The glass pipe in his hand was smoking. He said reluctantly,"No wonder you
can only stay in the special troop!"

Howard smiled. Clearly, he heard the complaining tone of his grandpa since he didn't live up to his
expectation. Among the three brothers, his older and younger brother both held high positions in the
government. But he just stayed in the special troop despite the harsh living environment. The good
thing was that he didn't think it was harsh and he even liked the thrill brought by being assigned to it.



Although he could not figure it out, he still aired out his doubts,"What does Mr. Yan's whereabouts have
to do with Jenifer? Also, why did Jenifer want to confirm if I was at A City? Grandpa, I'm here on a
mission. It is already a violation of discipline for me to see Jenifer."

"Your specific task has not been assigned yet. How can it be called a violation?" Jonny said heavily.
"Now, you are going to adapt to the environment of A City, and I know what am I doing. Don't worry."

Of course, Howard was not aware of the mission this time. He was just asked to get familiar with the
environment three days in advance, and the so-called environment had no specific scope. So, a group
of ten people including him should have to get familiar with all the environment of A City within three
days.

"Howard, you don't need to mind Jenifer's business any more. You will be offered a vacation when the
mission is over," Jonny said with a deep voice. "You haven't stepped into Four-Nine City for seven or
eight years. Come visit us on your vacation this time!"

"Yes," Howard gave his promise and hung up the phone. He went to the terrace and looked at the
snowflakes falling under the light while his mind kept on thinking about what Jonny had just said.

Jenifer came here because Edgar worked here, and due to the agreement between Jonny and Edgar,
Jenifer might want to help Edgar. But what did this all have to do with Mr. Yan?

Moreover, ten members from the special troop were sent to A City to be familiar with the environment in
advance, but for what kind of mission?

It seemed that these questions were connected somehow, but it also seemed they are not related at all.

Thinking about this, Howard was deeply confused as he furrowed his eyebrows deeply. He went back
into his room with a sigh, and at the moment, he did not know that a war of different powerful parties
was already quietly unfolding.
