"Ye Xiaofan, although we are very grateful for your life-saving grace, our actions are still directly appointed by Yanhuang Soul..." Penghai still felt the need to explain.
"Ah, I understand. However, if you are going to do sothing foolish like last night, I will surely stop you. No matter what orders co your way next ti, if possible, let know. You are here to complete the mission, not to court death."
"Well... once a mission is issued, we must..." Penghai continued.
"When the general is in the field, military orders are not necessarily followed... If Grandpa Fan were here, he definitely wouldn't let you do such foolish things..." Xiaofan imdiately cut him off.
Speaking of Fan Lingtian, the mbers of the Hidden Assassination Squad showed expressions of admiration.
Each of them is essentially an individual. The reason they are divided into groups for action is for better managent. Each of them can handle things independently, but for Chen Xu, who just took over, he completely failed to utilize everyone's strengths. This directly resulted in nearly half of the twenty-one people being lost.
Those were living lives...
"Ye Xiaofan, what are your plans then?"
"Find the antidote, retrieve the data, or destroy it if necessary." Xiaofan replied honestly.
"Do you have any plans?" Penghai continued to ask.
"As of now, there are no feasible plans. Of course, losing the data was my fault, and the losses of the Hidden Assassination Squad are half my responsibility. I won't shirk this responsibility. Besides, in the hunt for the antidote and mory card, finding the antidote will be my top priority, and I hope you understand this."
"Ah, we heard before coming." Penghai nodded slightly.
"Then let's analyze the current situation. The data is definitely no longer in that base because they need to crack Li Kuo's program at a professional base. Also, with the confidence I have in Li Kuo's technology, they certainly can't find a way to crack it in a short ti. Of course, we can't slow down either. For intel, I will use the migratory bird locator to get their IP address, and Li Kuo can crack their firewall through satellite positioning even from Huaxia. But once we find any clues, we may have to take risks again, so before that, you should rest and revitalize yourselves."
"What about the antidote you're looking for?" Penghai still asked, knowing it wasn't related to his mission, but if needed, he might personally disregard everything to help Ye Xiaofan.
"Finding the antidote is even more difficult. Originally, I aid at Fujita, but after Fujita died, the antidote at his house was surely taken away by those from Japan. Our adversary is Lingze, who was with Yanhuang Soul for over a year and is very familiar with its people. With his intelligence and understanding of us, there will be more obstacles to our actions. For now, we can only quietly wait for news. I may have to first visit hos of people with high status to seek clues about the antidote."
Indeed, Xiaofan can only plan this way. The antidote is the Great Nourishing Pill, and in Japan, only those of distinguished status may have it, but who would preserve such an antidote? It's ant to be taken once obtained... Otherwise, he has no other option.
However, it's possible Xiaofan's idea is also within Lingze's calculations. The antidote doesn't have a fixed na, and it's unclear how they distribute it to the influential. Perhaps if they locate the production site of the antidote, they might still have a chance to search.
"Their counterintelligence abilities are exceptionally strong. Once they find a place to hide, even if we dispatch all police to search house to house, we might only alarm them even if found. Using police is futile in capturing them; it'll just lead to unnecessary casualties and frighten local residents. If Ye Xiaofan gets enraged, he is capable of anything."
In the base, Uncle Zhong, Lingze, and a few elders are discussing last night's incident.
"What do you think then?" Uncle Zhong casually asked.
"Lying in wait won't work unless we can capture him in our net..."
"What do you an?" Uncle Zhong asked in confusion.
"It's simple. If we just quietly wait for Ye Xiaofan to act, by the ti we rush over after his each action, they might have already cleared out. If he happens to find the antidote sowhere, keeping him in Japan is practically impossible. Ye Xiaofan can't be left to go back to Huaxia. Given his personal strength, even if the Assassination Orders are issued again, it might end up like with Ren Zhongtian—one dies for one that goes, two die for two. So we need to find a way to lure him out..."
"How do you lure him?"
"Uncle Zhong, are you getting older? Can't figure out sothing simple?" Lingze said dismissively.
"Ahem, I'm not strong in such matters. My strength lies in managent." Uncle Zhong said without getting angry.
"Ah, that's true. Actually, Ye Xiaofan simply wants the antidote and the data's location. As long as we put out false information, won't he take the bait?" Lingze said calmly.
"I've thought about that too, but his thinking is so agile. Wouldn't he realize we're deliberately luring him?" Uncle Zhong questioned.
"He could, but even if he suspects it by seventy or eighty percent, as long as there's the slightest chance, he'll act. For saving the nightingale, he can do anything. This is the best way to eliminate him."
"Alright, how should we specifically arrange it?"
"Arrangent isn't difficult, but I'm unsure of my master's opinion. If he's willing to take action, it will be twice as effective with half the effort. After all, now only he can suppress Ye Xiaofan..." Lingze said, furrowing his brows.
"Then do as Lingze suggests..."
"Master? How co you're here?"
At this mont, Muto walked briskly into the room, and Lingze stood up imdiately to greet him respectfully.
"I'm truly sorry, Mr. Muto. Last night, we didn't manage to retain anyone; it was my poor command..." Uncle Zhong imdiately apologized.
"Hey, it's not your fault. I watched the footage; their strength was quite formidable, plus Ye Xiaofan and those two helpers were there. Without present, there's no way to hold them." Muto saw it clearly.
"Master, about my plan..."
"Hmm, proceed with your plan. Ye Xiaofan must die in Japan..."
"Okay. Then I'll draft the detailed plan first and ask Uncle Zhong—or rather, Mr. Ikeshita—to conduct the plan's execution."
"Hmm."
"You two are very competent. By the way, after drafting the plan, co to , and I'll start imparting my Martial Arts to you. You must learn well..."
"Yes, Master, I will certainly not disappoint your expectations..."
Seeing Ye Xiaofan appear last night, Lingze was fleeing with his tail between his legs. Such vast disparity in strength made him desperately desire to imdiately advance his own cultivation...
However, once the plan is out, will Xiaofan fall for it again?
