Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 1690 Out of the Rainforest
In front of the two of them was a road extending far into the jungle.Although by general standards, this road is indeed a bit crude, and it is difficult to walk with the potholes at first glance.

But this is deep in the Amazon rainforest. It is very good to have such a road that can drive vehicles.Going along this dirt road, at least you don't have to work hard to open your way in the woods.

So the next two people moved forward much faster, and then they were lucky enough to get a free car. By the afternoon of the same day, they had already returned to Manaus.

Zhao Lei casually gave the driver a few hundred yuan bills to express his gratitude, and took a blanket from the car and wrapped it directly on Xu Jia.

Xu Jia's clothes were already in tatters, it was fine in the jungle before, but now that she is back in the city, of course she has to find a way to cover it up, so as not to let other men take advantage of her.

Of course Xu Jia also knew the reason why Zhao Lei did this, but she really enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by him, and even deliberately cast a wink at her sweetheart, which made Zhao Lei's heart itch.

The two soon came to the best hotel in Manaus and opened a room to stay.Xu Jia didn't bother to wash off the dust on her body, so she dialed a mysterious phone number, said three simple words from beginning to end, and then hung up the phone.

Seeing Zhao Lei looking at him with a puzzled face, the female agent smiled at him and said, "This is a signal agreed in advance, which means that I am no longer in danger."

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "So that's how it is. Now that I've explained the business clearly, let's go take a bath. Those who have been scrambling in the rainforest for the past few days are almost turning into mud monkeys!"

Although Xu Jia didn't care about these at all when she was performing tasks, she was still a young woman after all, and she usually liked to be clean.After hearing Zhao Lei's words, she immediately felt itchy all over her body, and hurried to the bathroom with her bathrobe.

But just before closing the door, the female agent poked her head out to warn Zhao Lei: "No peeking!"

Zhao Lei cried out: "Am I that kind of person!?"

"Yes!" Xu Jia glared at Zhao Lei with a smile on his face, and then gently closed the door.

However, Zhao Lei noticed that the bathroom door was only ajar, and Xu Jia did not close the door properly.Reminiscent of her performance just now, Zhao Lei couldn't help but mutter to himself: "I'm going, so this is not a warning but an invitation, can I get in or not?"

There was no need to think about this kind of question at all, Zhao Lei quickly walked towards the bathroom with a smile, but just as he took two steps, the phone rang suddenly.

"Damn it, who is it? It's really annoying to call at this time!" Zhao Lei muttered dissatisfiedly, but he picked up the phone and looked at it, and found that it was another call without caller ID.

This reminded Zhao Lei of the last time Lao Li called, and his face became serious, and he quickly pressed the answer button and said, "Hi, I'm Zhao Lei."

Sure enough, Lao Li's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Zhao, I just got the news that Xu Jia is out of danger. Are you with her?"

After all, Lao Li was Xu Jia's superior. If he hadn't violated discipline and told Zhao Lei this time, Xu Jia would have passed away by now.

So Zhao Lei just hesitated for a moment, but quickly nodded and said: "Yes, we are together."

Lao Li breathed a sigh of relief: "So you really saved Xu Jia! Why did you suddenly separate from our people yesterday without any news, but it really shocked me!"

"It's too slow to go to Manaus by boat." Zhao Lei said with a smile: "The situation was urgent, and I didn't have time to explain it to Comrade Wang. Please say hello to him for me. I'm really sorry."

Old Li said: "It's all trivial, Xiao Wang will understand, but I'm a little curious, what method did you use to get to Manaus so quickly?"

Of course, this cannot be told to others, so Zhao Lei just smiled and said: "Don't ask me, I have my own way."

Lao Li also knew that this question was a little overdone, so he quickly laughed and said, "As long as Xu Jia is safe, I can sleep soundly in a while, haha."

Then the two chatted for a while, and Lao Li asked Zhao Lei what his plans were now.Zhao Lei didn't think about it, and calmly said that he would listen to Xu Jia's arrangement.

What Lao Li meant was that since Xu Jia's identity had been exposed, there was no point in continuing to stay there. It was better to leave Brazil and return to China earlier.

Zhao Lei was noncommittal about this, but said that he would make a decision after discussing with Xu Jia.

Lao Li didn't mean to force the two of them, but just left a safe phone number and told Zhao Lei to contact him anytime if he had any questions, and then hung up.

Being interrupted by Lao Li really took up a lot of Zhao Lei's time.When he tiptoed to the outside of the bathroom and was about to go in, the door of the bathroom opened by itself, and Xu Jia walked out from inside.

Seeing that Xu Jia had already put on a clean bathrobe, Zhao Lei couldn't help but ask, "Why are you washing so fast?"

The female agent looked at Zhao Lei with a half-smile and said, "Why do I wash fast, it's because you are too slow!"

Now Zhao Lei can also be sure that Xu Jia did not close the door on purpose just now, and he missed a great opportunity, so he couldn't help but sighed: "This old Li, ruined my good deed!"

Hearing Zhao Lei mention the superior's code name, Xu Jia immediately asked him seriously: "Has he approached you?"

"Yeah, you called me just now..." Zhao Lei briefly talked about the conversation with Lao Li before, and then asked Xu Jia in a low voice: "What are your plans next?"

Xu Jia pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't decided yet. I'd better understand the situation first. What about the phone number Lao Li gave you? I want to talk to him."

Just as Zhao Lei gave Xu Jia his phone number, she rushed him to the bathroom to take a shower.When Zhao Lei came out of the bathroom refreshingly, he found Xu Jia's expression was solemn, his brows were tightly frowned, and he looked very embarrassed.

This made Zhao Lei a little worried, and quickly sat beside her and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

"Lao Li told me that because of that traitor's betrayal, we lost two people." Xu Jia said in a deep voice, "If you don't arrive in time, I will be the third!"

Zhao Lei gently embraced Xu Jia's strong waist, sighed softly and said, "Forget about the past, fortunately you are safe and sound now, that's the most important thing."

Xu Jia leaned gently on Zhao Lei, and said with great emotion: "Thanks to you, otherwise I would... have you travel half the world to save me. I, I really don't know what to say."

"Okay, what's the relationship between us, do you need to talk about this?" Zhao Lei said with a smile, "As long as you are safe and sound, no matter how hard and tiring you are, it's worth it."

Xu Jia nodded slightly, and asked Zhao Lei in a low voice, "Can you let me be self-willed again?"

Seeing that Xu Jia was very serious, Zhao Lei said seriously, "What exactly do you want?"

The female agent said firmly: "I want revenge!"
