The sniper publicly assassinating governnt officials in the busy city is absolutely an event that would shock the world. The Japan Governnt will undoubtedly launch a counterattack, and the Shijing family will also seek revenge. A major battle is officially unfolding. It was only natural for Xinzi to inquire about the follow-up plan, and Yuanfei Zuo was also looking at Luo Zheng expectantly, awaiting his answer.
However, Luo Zheng's original plan was vetoed by the state, and the new plan has not yet been approved, so there was naturally no way to answer Yuanfei Zuo and his daughter. After a mont of contemplation, he said, "Once the hostage exchange is successful, we must retreat quickly, avoid the governnt's search, observe the weaknesses of the Shijing family, and identify the opportunity to launch a lightning strike."
"Are we to incite the anger of the Shijing family by hunting them down under the guise of a hostage's family?" Xinzi pressed.
"Only when the Shijing family is completely infuriated will they do sothing outrageous. As long as they retaliate against the hostage's family, they will be isolated and without allies, and our purpose will be more than half achieved," Luo Zheng said calmly. Since the dostic authorities were slow to approve, he would use Yuanfei Zuo's power to fight a tough battle. As long as they only targeted the Shijing family and not the country, the dostic authorities wouldn't object.
"No need to hide it, I know all about the Shijing family. They have a farm a hundred kiloters from here, a place for the Shijing family to retreat and vacation. The retired elders of the Shijing family live there. Although they're no longer in power, they still hold influence," whispered Yuanfei Zuo.
"That's a good target," Luo Zheng's eyes brightened. Retired elders were once the power holders of the Shijing family. These people had significant influence, wide connections, big faces, and deep roots. They were the foundation of the Shijing family, and their hands were stained with the blood of others. Eliminating these people would greatly reduce the Shijing family's network.
"If you can confirm it, I'll start preparing," said Yuanfei Zuo excitedly.
"What's the defense situation?" Luo Zheng cautiously inquired.
"There are fifty bodyguards guarding the place, each with the strength of a Sakura Ninja, and three Chrysanthemum Ninjas stationed there. The elders are old and not to be feared in a fight. The security is tight, with an outside guard unit of the Governnt Army, about thirty in number. It's an abuse of public power by the Shijing family, using the Governnt Army to protect the family elders, employing only light weapons," Yuanfei Zuo explained seriously.
"Good, eliminate them and give a map showing the deploynt of firepower," Luo Zheng nodded without hesitation. If they could take down three Chrysanthemum Ninjas and fifty Sakura Ninjas in one go, it would be quite impressive. The mission was to eliminate ninjas—where didn't matter, as long as they were Japanese ninjas. Such an opportunity was rare, and Luo Zheng certainly wouldn't let it pass.
"There are so many of them, it will take quite so ti to fight them. It requires tight planning, especially the retreat route must be well defined. Given the Shijing family's capabilities, helicopters could arrive within ten minutes to support them. That ans we have at most three minutes, no more than five minutes, to retreat," Lan Xue sternly reminded.
"That's precisely why we haven't acted until now; we're wary of the governnt's aerial support. No matter how strong a ninja is, they can't fight against a helicopter, they can only take the hits. This is no longer an assassination—it's a military operation, which I don't understand. Young brother, why don't you take command?" Yuanfei Zuo said seriously, looking at Luo Zheng.
"Do you trust ?" Luo Zheng asked with a smile.
"We're already on the sa boat; there's no question of trust. The basis of cooperation is trust. If I didn't trust you, there'd be no cooperation between us. I don't understand military operations, and rather than blindly giving commands leading our n to death, I'd rather let you handle it. Besides, if the plan doesn't favor us, I can always refuse to cooperate," Yuanfei Zuo said with a smile.
"Alright, since you trust ," Luo Zheng casually took over the command.
Xinzi opened her computer and pulled up a three-dinsional map. In a scenic vineyard, there was a large manor built, patrolled by people walking dogs, with no ninjas in sight. Xinzi continuously zood in on the manor, with gardens and artificial hills at the front and back, looking very elegant.
Next to her, Yuanfei Zuo quietly said, "Everyone is hidden inside the manor, and all the staff here are ninjas responsible for serving the elders living inside. There are 81 rooms, covering 81 hectares, with each building being 81 ters high and wide—constructed according to the auspicious number of nine tis nine equals eighty-one."
"Interesting," Luo Zheng calmly observed.
"More interestingly, the total number of ninjas and elders is also eighty-one, supposedly determined by a Feng Shui master. When one elder dies, they bring one person in; the number of ninjas remains unchanged," Yuanfei Zuo continued, sarcasm evident on his face.
"It seems there's a lot of emphasis placed here. Let's raze this place to the ground and see what emphasis there is. Nine tis nine is yang, representing fire. Let's just torch the whole place," Luo Zheng casually remarked, suddenly hit by an idea, and beca delighted as he pondered it deeply.
Beside him, Lan Xue, who knew Luo Zheng well, knew he had thought of a solution. Seeing that Yuanfei Zuo was about to ask, she quickly signaled with a gesture to wait. Yuanfei Zuo, puzzled, looked at Luo Zheng, who knowingly waited patiently. It wasn't long before Luo Zheng's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened with a flash; his face turned serious as he said, "I think there's a way to break through here, but I need to confirm two issues."
"Go ahead," Yuanfei Zuo happily urged him.
"First, can we get a helicopter? A civilian one would do, or know where we could get one," Luo Zheng asked.
Yuanfei Zuo contemplated for a mont, "I personally have one, but if we use it, it will draw an investigation. I know there's a TV station that has a helicopter for interviews, with space for one pilot and five passengers in the cabin."
"That will suffice," Luo Zheng said with a pleased expression, continuing, "We need two barrels of gasoline, two hundred kilograms of sugar—white phosphorus as a flammable agent would be ideal."
"We have gasoline, but not enough of the rest; we'll need to procure it," Yuanfei Zuo quickly responded.
"Then arrange for your people to procure it," Luo Zheng took over the conversation, "Send as many people as possible to buy, to avoid exposing ourselves. Do you have anyone who can pilot a helicopter?"
"Of course, we have no shortage of talent. Tell your plan," Yuanfei Zuo readily agreed.
"Here's the plan: mix the gasoline with sugar and other flammable agents, use the helicopter to air-drop it, causing a fire. My people will ambush the vicinity of the manor for long-range sniper fire, eliminating obstacles, and then your people will rush in to hunt the target. Any other questions?" Luo Zheng explained seriously.
Upon hearing this, Yuanfei Zuo seed to see the manor engulfed in roaring flas and their enemies being continuously sniped. He was stunned but then overjoyed, exclaiming excitedly, "Good, let's do it!"
