Trick him to co back.
Indeed, being able to deceive him into returning, quietly staying by , that might be the best outco for Shen Zuimo.
To this, Ye Aotian did not respond, he paused for a mont, asked Shen Zuimo to rest well, and then walked out of the ward.
Both of them had their own concerns, and given their understanding of Xiaofan, this guy was surely planning sothing big.
Getting Ye Xiaofan back...
Not only did Shen Zuimo hope for this, but Fan Lingtian also wished for it, along with the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, National Security Bureau, and Ministry of Defense hoping for his return.
Because he still held the information on LY007.
Yes, the first news brought back by Shen Junjie and the others was that Shen Zuimo was poisoned, and the second, undoubtedly troubling news for Fan Lingtian, was that Xiaofan did not bring back HLY007. The root of the problem still remained, and it was even more severe than before.
"Xiaofan... Don't rush things, okay?"
"Grandpa Fan, do you trust ?"
"Of course I trust you..."
"Then that's settled."
"But you've been exposed, co back first, and then we'll plan further, alright?"
"There's no room for negotiation once I return. I'm aware of how closely they're watching, maybe they're even wishing to kill right now."
"Ah..."
Fan Lingtian let out a long sigh and hung up the phone. When words fail, that's the most helpless situation.
Currently, the best outco would be for Ye Aotian to quickly find the antidote; only then would it be a win-win situation.
However, the confidence Lingze showed during the call with Xiaofan was certainly not feigned. He was certain that Xiaofan had no ans of resolving this kind of poison.
Inside the Yanhuang Soul base, Li San, Lei Xiaolei, Han Shengjun, Ren Ying, and even Li Kuo were all kept under close watch, locked inside a small dark room.
This wasn't Fan Lingtian's directive, but an absolute order from above not to let more people get involved with Japan. Last ti's explosion had already caused significant impact, and if similar events occur again, it could lead to greater mistakes.
The current absolute command is to bring Ye Xiaofan back. If Li San and the others can't go, then Hidden Assassination Squad mbers will be sent instead, with the sole purpose being his possession of HLY007, even if the materials must be destroyed to prevent it falling into the hands of Japan. Even though this might ultimately result in Shen Zuimo's death, from a broader perspective, sacrificing one person is preferable to more deaths in the future.
This is the highest realm of sacrificing the self to fulfill the greater good.
Xiaofan is not a fool; he knows what HLY007 will beco in the enemy's hands. However, to him, Shen Zuimo is more important than the entire world. Even if the final result leads to another world war, what does it matter? Can he not be selfish for once?
Currently, the only person who knows Xiaofan's location is Li Kuo.
The tracker on Xiaofan's phone can only be traced by him.
Fan Lingtian absolutely wouldn't force Li Kuo to reveal Xiaofan's whereabouts, but today, soone ca to take Li Kuo away, trying to get Xiaofan's location out of him.
It turns out, Fan Lingtian's managent of Yanhuang Soul was questioned by superiors, and given the gravity of the situation, soone filed a report stating that Ye Xiaofan was particularly close to Fan Lingtian, prompting them to send soone specifically in charge of Xiaofan's affairs to Yanhuang Soul.
This was undeniably making Xiaofan's situation even more precarious; if Yanhuang Soul could no longer provide support, then arranging a plane to return might not even be possible.
Who is Li Kuo anyway? Before his father passed away, he was just a weak scholar, only typing on keyboards with his hands. But now, after following Xiaofan to eliminate Red Butterfly, experiencing multiple life-and-death encounters, he's well capable of soaring high and handling things alone...
Facing interrogation, Li Kuo didn't reveal a single word about Xiaofan's movents, despite coercion from these so-called superiors from out of nowhere.
Eventually, even though they took all four of Li Kuo's desktop computers and five notebooks for a thorough check, they still found nothing.
No matter what, Li Kuo was indeed a key figure in the downfall of Red Butterfly; it's absolutely impossible to use any punitive asures on him. Unable to get Xiaofan's whereabouts from him, they could only make other arrangents.
Li Kuo was interrogated from morning until afternoon before being returned to his house under soft confinent.
"How's it looking outside? Why are we being detained?" Han Shengjun imdiately questioned as soon as he saw Li Kuo return.
"Elder Fan is also under soft confinent. Xiaofan's situation is a bit dire..."
"So, what should we do?" Lei Xiaolei continued to ask.
"Find a chance to break out, we'll make another trip to Japan..." Ren Ying imdiately suggested a plan.
"I told you, we shouldn't have left Xiaofan behind. See, now we're in a pickle," cursed Han Shengjun.
"Li San... What's wrong with you? Why aren't you talking?" Li Kuo suddenly turned to Li San.
"If Elder Fan is willing to assist , I might be able to get out."
"Hm?"
As the last inheritor from the Swallow Sect, such a small black room certainly couldn't hold him. The main issue was the nine lines of defense outside Yanhuang Soul. If he could get Fan Lingtian's written order, then there'd be no problem.
Despite Fan Lingtian being under soft confinent and unable to participate in Xiaofan's matter in Japan, his position as principal of Yanhuang Soul still exists, giving soone a written order to leave Yanhuang Soul would be effortless.
"Alright, let's go find Elder Fan for the order together," Han Shengjun imdiately supported this idea.
"No, if everyone goes out together, we'll surely be discovered. I'm quite fast, less noticeable. I'll go to Japan first..."
"Li San, this isn't the ti to show off," Lei Xiaolei didn't agree with Li San's plan.
"What am I showing off? We're waiting for Xiaofan's Grandpa to find the antidote, five days. If there's no solution within those five days, then I'll go..."
"Take along," Ren Ying said quietly.
"No, more people will increase the risk of exposure..."
"Then let go..." Ren Ying insisted, his gaze full of determination.
"What's the point in arguing? We might as well have one out than none," This ti, Li San didn't show a careless expression; his face displayed serious resolve.
All of them were now waiting for after five days. If after five days Ye Aotian still hadn't found the antidote, Li San would secretly head out.
Of course, after five days, those high-level investigators will definitely issue the next level of command.
As for Xiaofan, he might prepare his next move if there's no news in a week. His only option is to infiltrate the enemy's base to find the antidote.
Japan, aren't they waiting too...
