Upon hearing Luo Zheng's words, Hong ihua frowned and pondered deeply, sensing that the situation had beco dire and sowhat uncontrollable. After greeting Luo Zheng, she hurried downstairs to report the situation. The chairman listened to her report and his face turned livid, more so than when he had almost been bitten to death by a viper. With a cold expression, he said, "No matter who they are or what they want, as soon as they reach out, chop off their hands for ."
"Yes." Seeing the chairman so resolute, Hong ihua didn't hesitate, agreeing wholeheartedly, her eyes filled with determination. As soone most likely to beco the Spy King, Hong ihua had her pride and honor to protect. Previously, she hadn't taken it to heart, but now her fighting spirit surged within her.
"Rember, go all out. The dignity of our nation does not allow anyone to provoke it. As long as there is no incriminating evidence left behind, even if the sky is pierced, I'll patch it up for you," the chairman said coldly, exuding the decisive and assertive aura of a leader, full of confidence.
"Yes." Filled with the chairman's conviction, Hong ihua straightened her posture and said loudly, then turned and left in a hurry. On the rooftop, she found Luo Zheng again, relaying the chairman's resolution seriously, and added, "Since the enemy wants to play, let's play well with them. Soone must stay here just in case. Who is suitable?"
"Mountain Eagle should do it; he's a sniper, most adept at stealth and reconnaissance," Luo Zheng replied, his gaze sharp, staring ahead intensely. After frowning and thinking for a while, he continued, "Jackson saw and wasn't surprised at all. This shows he's aware of my arrival and probably ca specifically for . He's a well-prepared old opponent. Many decisions ahead require your discretion to avoid his foresight."
One's enemy always knows them best. Hong ihua knew this principle well, nodded in understanding, and said thoughtfully, "Alright, I'll take charge at the start with a different combat style to disrupt his thoughts and plans. At crucial monts, you command to leave him completely bewildered."
"Alright, let's settle on that," Luo Zheng agreed.
"The security here is tight, and there's certainly nothing we can do during the day, but it might be different at night. So, I suggest Mountain Eagle, Ghost Hand, and Snow Leopard rest during the day to conserve their energy. They handle things at night. During the day, you, Xue Er, and I will manage. Lan Xing will handle information and won't need to shoulder too much work," Hong ihua suggested seriously.
"It was agreed you would command early on. Besides, you are the highest commander of our team. No need to consult with ; otherwise, my suggestions might interfere with your command, which isn't good since I wouldn't arrange it that way," Luo Zheng turned to Hong ihua and said seriously.
Hong ihua paused, curious about how Luo Zheng would deploy the team, but swallowed her words. After thinking for a mont, she continued, "Breakfast is in half an hour, and lunch is a welco banquet. We must attend. In public, no one will act rashly, but it's different with the viper. Convincing the chairman to clean up is your task. After all, I'm a woman, and it's not appropriate for to say this to the chairman."
"Alright, I'll go right away." Luo Zheng agreed and hurried downstairs after Hong ihua's briefing. In the reception room on the second floor, he t the chairman, carefully discussed the situation, and the chairman, without hesitation, concurred and entered the bedroom. Luo Zheng quickly stopped, entered the bedroom first, inspected every corner to ensure no viper was hiding, plugged up the drainpipes, and only then invited the chairman in.
The chairman smiled understandingly, praised Luo Zheng's ticulousness, and Luo Zheng waited outside. The viper attack through the drainpipe had happened before, so Luo Zheng had to be cautious. After taking all necessary precautions, Luo Zheng poured himself a glass of water and opened his phone to check.
Before long, the chairman ca out, changed into new clothes, and Luo Zheng took the replaced clothes to an empty room, instructing Mountain Eagle to guard them. Whether it would lure the viper was uncertain, but it was worth a try. With everything in place, staff downstairs were arranging breakfast. Luo Zheng left Mountain Eagle and Snow Leopard to guard the room and led the others downstairs.
The villa was everyone's stronghold, and nothing could happen unexpectedly. A group of more than a dozen people left the villa, under the protection of guards, and reached another villa. This villa was furnished like a club, with two tables in the living area, and one in each of the two rooms, filled with various foods, both Chinese and Western, available for anyone to take.
The chairman and several high-level mbers sat at one table. Luo Zheng, not at ease, tested each dish with a small silver knife he carried. The knife was a gift from Little Lang's father. Previously, it had detected poison in food at the hospital, making Luo Zheng value it more. Nobody objected to Luo Zheng's precautions, patiently waiting until all the food was confird safe before they began eating.
Luo Zheng returned to the living area to eat with the staff, ate his fill, and packed two portions for Mountain Eagle and Snow Leopard, with Lan Xing helping to carry them. After everyone, including the chairman, had finished eating and co out, they walked out of the villa, heading back to their accommodations. According to the schedule, everyone would rest in the morning, having taken an overnight flight, which was indeed tiring, with a welco banquet at noon.
Outside, guards led the way, and soon a group appeared alongside them. Looking up, Luo Zheng saw Jackson among them, staring at him—it was the delegation from Sam Country. Luo Zheng sneered disdainfully, ignored him, and continued forward with the group.
At this mont, Luo Zheng suddenly noticed Jackson leaving his group, approaching him with two guards arranged by their hosts. Estimating Jackson was coming for him, but not wanting to pay attention, Luo Zheng saw Jackson's determined approach, glanced at Lan Xue as a signal to protect the chairman, and broke away to head forward, with two accompanying guards quickly following, cautiously watching both Luo Zheng and the two approaching n.
As long as no conflict occurred, the guards wouldn't interfere with anyone's actions or freedom, only escorting. Luo Zheng walked forward with a grave expression. Soon, the two t, maintaining a mutual distance of three ters. Without waiting for Luo Zheng to speak, Jackson said, "Old friend, didn't expect to see you here."
"Empty words, you're just a defeated general. Does your country have no one else? Aren't you afraid of failing again?" Luo Zheng deliberately taunted coldly.
"I'm more than enough to deal with you. As a friend, I'll give you a piece of advice—sleep light, you might not know how you die otherwise," Jackson retorted, unyielding.
Right from the start, the tension between the two was palpable. Several confrontations made them mortal enemies. Luo Zheng sensed much information in Jackson's words, sneered, and said, "Hope you don't disappoint this ti."
