"Get up!"
Song Heping, who received Simon's message, immediately shook the still sleeping Nura awake, then walked over and kicked Antonov, who was sleeping on the carpet.
"We've been exposed. CIA's operatives are on their way here."
After saying this, Song Heping immediately ran up to the second floor and knocked on the door of Khalid's family's room in the dark.
"Who?!"
Inside the room, Khalid was very nervous.
It seemed too sudden to have someone knocking on the door at this time of night.
"It's me, Song."
Song Heping went straight to the point: "The CIA has found us, we must leave immediately!"
The door was quickly opened, and Khalid stood at the entrance with a look of surprise: "How did they find us here?"
"I don't know either, but they're on their way here now. If we don't evacuate within five minutes, it will be dangerous."
Song Heping's tone was very grave.
Khalid could tell, the man standing in front of him was not just making alarmist claims.
"Alright! Wait a minute, I need to pack..."
"No time to pack, we only have five minutes, or it'll be us being packed up."
At these words, Khalid turned back into the room and said to the startled Litte and Nina on the bed, "Litte, quickly, we have to go!"
The small house instantly fell into chaos.
Khalid opened his wardrobe, pushed aside a secret compartment, and took out a small radio and weapons, cramming them haphazardly into a large travel bag.
"Sweetheart, don't bring Ruby. Leave it here, we'll come back for it."
Nina was holding onto her doll named Ruby, and Litte was persuading her to leave it.
Unexpectedly, the little girl was quite smart; perhaps she knew they might not have a chance to return, so she clung tightly to the doll.
"No, I must bring Ruby. Leaving it here alone, it would be scared..."
"Nina, be good!"
Khalid was a bit frantic, his tone uncharacteristically stern.
"Waa—"
Nina burst into tears.
Song Heping walked straight to Nina, took the doll "Ruby" from Litte's hand, and put it back into Nina's arms.
"Don't cry, bring it with you."
Turning to Litte and Khalid, he said: "This is not the time to let the child cry. We owe her, she doesn't owe us anything."
The meaning behind these words ran deep.
Khalid's face was instantly filled with guilt.
"Let her take it."
The man muttered quietly, not even having the courage to look at his daughter.
Once outside the door, Song Heping grabbed Khalid: "We should head to the rendezvous point early, but—"
His gaze shifted to Litte and Nina.
"They can't come with us."
Khalid immediately understood.
While Song Heping was a target, he himself was also not welcomed by the government army.
Now, if Litte and her daughter followed them, it would only be more dangerous.
After a moment of thought, Khalid came to his wife and daughter and said to Litte: "You can't come with us."
"Why?!" Litte couldn't understand.
Khalid said: "No time to explain, it's more dangerous if you come with us. Take Nina to Uncle Hardy's home and hide there for a while, I'll come get you when I'm done."
Litte held onto Khalid's hand tightly but soon let go.
No one knew her husband better than she did.
In Khalid's garage, there was a pickup truck.
After Song Heping and the others threw their gear onto it, they directly sat in the truck bed, then he said to Nura: "You drive, stop when we're passing through the woods later."
"Alright."
Nura immediately took the driver's seat.
Khalid was somewhat taken aback.
Song Heping told him: "Don't ask, let's go now, I'll explain later."
