The Sam Country delegation was heavily guarded, making it difficult to approach. Luo Zheng ca to the airport only to confirm whether Jackson was really leaving. Seeing Jackson in the delegation indeed preparing to leave, but that sneer on his face made Luo Zheng wary. Just because he was leaving did not an the matter was over; he could still command remotely. With Sam Country's intelligence and information capabilities, they could easily do what they wanted.
Steve walked over while Luo Zheng stayed in the car, watching Jackson leave with the delegation. Soon, Steve returned with a grave expression, got into the driver's seat, and said to Luo Zheng in the back seat, "That bastard just ran away like that. If there's a chance, we must deal with him properly."
"I'm afraid you won't have that chance. He won't co back here again," Luo Zheng said calmly.
"There will always be a chance," Steve said, unwilling to give up.
Luo Zheng didn't say anything more. The country's security capabilities did not reassure him. They barely caught a sniper who was then successfully assassinated in the hospital. If it weren't for himself, they wouldn't have been able to catch the two suspects. Don't even ntion the assassination at the banquet. Could such skills catch Jackson? But this concerned the host country's reputation, so Luo Zheng couldn't say these things, and followed Steve into the city.
On the way, Luo Zheng's phone vibrated. He took a look: it was a text ssage from Lan Xing. He hurriedly opened the ssage; a staff mber had suddenly died, cause unknown, similar to the snake attack case. Luo Zheng was shocked that there was yet another snake assassination attempt, and quickly said, "Hurry, take back right away."
"What happened?" Steve asked, while promising to do so.
"A staff mber died for no reason," Luo Zheng said angrily.
Steve's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. He hurriedly sped up. If it was a natural death, it wouldn't be so bad. But if it was an unnatural death, Steve would have to bear responsibility for inadequate protection. He placed the alarm on top of the car, increased speed, and soon arrived at the President's Mansion, drove inside, and parked the car.
The surrounding guards knew Steve and Luo Zheng, so they did not co up to check. Luo Zheng, anxious, quickened his pace toward the residential area, with Steve closely following behind. The two reached the villa's entrance, where Luo Zheng suddenly stopped, raised a hand to stop Steve, and said, "Please wait a mont."
"If sothing happened, I'm responsible. Please allow to understand the truth," Steve quickly said.
Luo Zheng thought about it. In such matters, an internal investigation should be conducted before informing the host if necessary. But now was a turbulent ti, and the collaboration between both sides was relatively close. Allowing Steve to understand the situation first wasn't unthinkable, so he agreed, "Alright, follow , but you must follow the rules."
"I understand." Steve handed over his pistol to the Zhongnanhai bodyguards at the door, raised his hands for a search, and then followed Luo Zheng inside. Although the villa belonged to the host country, it was currently given to Huaxia Country for residence, considered a temporary territory of Huaxia Country. Naturally, entering and exiting required adhering to Huaxia Country's customs and rules, such as not carrying weapons.
The villa's living room was crowded with people, with a corpse laid on the sofa. As everyone saw Luo Zheng approaching, they made way for him. Luo Zheng quickly walked a few steps, squatting beside the corpse to carefully examine it. He could not discern any cause of death, and with a solemn expression, looked at Lan Xue. Seeing Steve there, since Luo Zheng had brought him in, there was no need to hide anything, she said, "He was in charge of logistics like clothing. After the host country helped dry clean clothes, he would collect them himself. When folding clothes in his room, no one was around. By the ti he was found, he was already dead."
"Oh? Is there surveillance in the room?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise.
"No, but at the ti of his death, he was holding the President's suit. We checked the scene and found no clues. It was identical to previous situations," Lan Xue continued to explain.
"Damn it." Luo Zheng thought of Yin Country, thought of Yin Country's State Preceptor, and grew solemn.
"Can anyone tell what on earth is going on?" Steve asked suspiciously from the side.
No one spoke; they all looked at Luo Zheng. Luo Zheng thought for a mont and said, "Soone is using venomous snakes to harm our people. We discovered this once before, didn't expect it to happen again. The snake likely entered through the sewage system or surrounding bushes. This person died of poison. I hope your side can strengthen protection in this area. As for how to handle it, I need to report to the President to decide."
"What? Soone used snakes?" Steve was shocked and looked at Luo Zheng in surprise. Seeing that Luo Zheng didn't seem to be lying and looking at others who were also solemn and not joking, his face darkened. He seriously took another look at the deceased, seeing no signs of poisoning, but still solemnly said, "Alright, I'll arrange for increased protection for you imdiately."
"Thank you," Luo Zheng said earnestly.
Steve politely exchanged a few words before hurriedly leaving. Luo Zheng also quickly went upstairs to the reception room where the President was staying. Seeing Luo Zheng coming over, the President motioned him to sit down and said, "I've heard about Sam Country's withdrawal. Well done; you're the first to force the Sam Country delegation to leave. But our people have been hard again. What's your take?"
"It's still Yin Country causing trouble. Perhaps all of this is still Jackson's follow-up tactics. They've left, but their action plan surely hasn't stopped. These bastards are vile; they must be taught a lesson," Luo Zheng said angrily, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
"Hmm, we'll also withdraw back ho early, set for tomorrow night. Your job is to ensure security here, any problem?" the President sternly asked.
Luo Zheng thought for a mont, his face turning serious, and said earnestly, "No problem."
"Good. If you can find the culprit, hit back hard. If not, after returning, go to Yin Country and kill that so-called State Preceptor to avenge our fallen. Can you do it?" the President said gravely.
"Yes, thank you for trusting , President. I guarantee the task will be completed and that damn State Preceptor will be killed," Luo Zheng angrily replied, the string of assassinations constantly troubling him, thoroughly enraging him, causing him to curse.
"Go to work. I've heard from Hong ihua about it. Since that suit has a unique sll that can't be washed out, it's up to you to handle it," the President seriously instructed.
"Yes, President. You've interacted with quite a few people today, so you should also have a good wash just in case. The culprit could tamper with that suit; they could also tamper with the clothes you have on now. That sll is undetectable by humans. We cannot afford any negligence," Luo Zheng reminded earnestly.
"Alright, go do your work. Ensure everyone's safety; I don't want any more incidents. Once you find any clues, don't ask for instructions, retaliate directly in the way you see fit," the President strictly instructed.
