When they set out, there were over a hundred people and dozens of vehicles, but when they returned, there were only half as many. However, Yang Yi felt no guilt at all.
Back in the room they had just left, the first thing Yang Yi did upon returning was to call Aaron.
"Sir, we can't leave! We were driven back!"
This time it was a phone call, not a video call, but Aaron's nervousness was still evident.
"What's going on? What happened? What's the situation over there?"
"We left Mosul and encountered an airstrike!"
"An airstrike?"
"Yes, a plane attacked our convoy. Fortunately, I switched vehicles, so I'm fine now. But the team escorting us suffered heavy casualties, and then I decided to return to Mosul immediately. On the way back, we encountered an ambush. We broke through the ambush and forced our way back to Mosul."
