After uncovering Japan's conspiracy, hospital security was quickly elevated a level. Shadow was in full charge, adding many caras, and personnel deploynt was also adjusted. Of course, Luo Zheng didn't have to worry about these things. After the interrogation incident, Luo Zheng and Lan Xue stayed in the ward to convalesce, losing the mood to continue wandering around.
In the afternoon, Lan Xue's father ca over, bringing two large bags of fruit. Accompanying him were Lan Xing and Hong ihua. Lan Xue's father, Lan Bo, knew it wasn't appropriate for him to stay long. Seeing Lan Xue was alright, he felt relieved and instructed Lan Xing to take good care of his sister. After sitting for a while, he left.
Once Lan Bo left, Hong ihua quickly called over Ghost Hand and Mountain Eagle, closed the door, and said, "The top is very satisfied with our mission, which ans our squad's first mission since establishnt is successfully completed. This is a good thing, but the cost was a bit high. How do you guys feel?"
"This is good news." Luo Zheng smiled and said, with the top's affirmation, the mission was considered over. Everyone's efforts weren't in vain. He stretched, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm alright. Military Doctor Wu specifically told us to lie down for a month; I guess my bones will rust after a month. How's everything at ho?"
"Everything at ho is fine, and the others have all recovered and returned to the team. In three days, they'll start recuperation training. Snow Leopard is watching over the house, don't worry." Hong ihua answered, looking at Luo Zheng with a bit of concern in her eyes, and continued, "I've heard about the situation. Those Japanese aren't done yet. What's your plan? If it doesn't work out, you can go back to the base to recuperate."
"No plans for now, but warriors et challenges as they co. The security here is under Shadow. Nothing will happen. It's a good chance to settle so scores with the Japanese. They've co knocking on the door. Leaving now isn't my style." Luo Zheng calmly said, revealing a sharp fighting spirit.
Everyone knew Luo Zheng's character, preferring to break rather than bend, so they no longer persuaded him and began planning how to help. As squadmates, any ti, any difficulty, they'd face it together without hesitation or saying much. Mountain Eagle, seeing everyone silent, proposed, "Why don't I bring so squad mbers over?"
"Your squad is mainly snipers, specializing in attacking and trench warfare. My squad focuses on Zhongnanhai security, and they specialize in defense. I think it'd be better to summon my squad. Besides, your squad just returned from a successful mission and is full. At least give a chance, right?" Ghost Hand quickly said.
"Alright, let's bring over the Ghost Hand Team then, and make sure to keep identities hidden," Luo Zheng said as Mountain Eagle seed about to contest. Mountain Eagle, satisfied, remained silent, and Luo Zheng continued, "This situation might not be small. Let Snow Leopard bring his n too. Two squads, twenty n, the opponents are still too few. However, with Shadow's people on the surface and ours hidden, it shouldn't be a problem. Inform them so there are no misunderstandings with Shadow's people."
"I'll coordinate this matter; you two rest well and enjoy so peace. I'll stay to personally oversee things, and I'm more familiar with such espionage cases. Lan Xing will also stay to help," Hong ihua said.
"Yes," Lan Xing readily agreed.
Luo Zheng didn't stop them. Hong ihua had good intentions. They chatted for a while. Soone knocked on the door, and Mountain Eagle opened it, finding it to be the cleaning staff. He let them in. They changed the trash bag and, seeing the bottled water nearly empty, replaced it before leaving, finding nothing amiss.
Lan Xing went to pour water, asking, "Who wants water?"
"Don't rush. Pour a glass and let check it first, just don't drink it yet," Luo Zheng said.
"What's up?" Lan Xing poured a glass of water, handed it to Luo Zheng, and asked with curiosity.
"Nothing, better safe than sorry." Luo Zheng took the cup and drew a small silver knife from his belt. The knife was small, with a silvery shine, transparent and exquisite. It was a gift from Little Lang's father when he left the hidden mountain village, always carried with him.
Silver is relatively soft, but this silver knife was mixed with sothing, making it quite hard, suitable for cutting at but not handy as a weapon. Luo Zheng preferred the Tiger Teeth dagger, but he also carried the silver knife along. Luo Zheng placed the silver knife in the glass and said, "For safety, all our food in this period should be tested with this knife first."
"Being cautious is good. Does this knife work?" Hong ihua looked at the silver knife in Luo Zheng's hand in surprise. Suddenly she noticed the transparent knife changing color, and was shocked. Realizing the seriousness, she looked at Luo Zheng with a grave expression.
"Not good, quickly, catch that person from before." Luo Zheng also noticed sothing amiss. The food testing never caused a change in color before, but this cautious test showed a problem, and his face changed dramatically.
Ghost Hand and Mountain Eagle rushed out. Luo Zheng and Lan Xue exchanged a glance, pondering. The cleaning person had been seen multiple tis, considered familiar, and appeared calm during cleaning without any falseness or flaws appearing.
Thinking of this, Luo Zheng glanced at Hong ihua. Even with Hong ihua's abilities, no flaws were detected. There were two explanations for that person: either he was more skilled than Hong ihua, or he was unaware and was used. Luo Zheng preferred to believe the latter; otherwise, the person was too terrifying, hiding for days before acting, showing nothing, and acting in front of so many people.
Hong ihua's expression was very unpleasant. Just now, she boasted of being better at espionage than everyone else, not expecting an enemy to act before her eyes, causing her sha and anger. She clenched her fists and said coldly, "Lan Xing, imdiately access all surveillance and check the person's identity. I'll go find Shadow." Saying this, she dashed out.
"Our Sister Hua is truly furious," Lan Xue said with a smile, looking at Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng knowingly handed the knife to Lan Xue, who took it and sighed, "An invisible fate, back when you promised to take Little Lang out of the mountain and received the gift from his father, and now this gift has saved us. Truly, kindness begets kindness."
"Your knife is amazing. I'll visit Little Lang and see if I can get another," Lan Xing said, still shaken, looking at the silver knife. If it weren't for this knife, drinking the water could've cost their lives.
"By the way, how's Little Lang?" Luo Zheng inquired.
"That kid is very popular now, quite pleased with himself. Each instructor is vying to teach him their skills. In less than two years, he might beco the second you. And that Tiger Girl, they're born adversaries, fighting every day. Little Lang stands no chance against Tiger Girl, getting bullied badly," Lan Xing said, laughing when ntioning this.
