Strongest Soldier King Chapter 1393 1393: Hei Shi's Sacrifice for the Nation

Afternoon, in a villa located in the wealthy district of the capital of Yin Country.

Luo Zheng received a call from He Guozhu; the State Preceptor has been dragged to the embassy by Hei Shi and is half-dead from hunger. He asked what to do; since they had gone through the trouble of capturing their target, he certainly couldn't be allowed to starve to death. Luo Zheng thought for a mont and told He Guozhu to keep a close watch on him until things cald down, then hung up the call. Luo Zheng relayed the news to everyone, and they all laughed, feeling everything had been worthwhile. There was hope for avenging their fallen comrades.

"The target is in hand; next, we need to retreat. They've already put us under surveillance outside, which ans Jackson knows we're here. Leaving will expose us. Does anyone have any ideas on how we can escape?" Lan Xue said, looking at Luo Zheng with eyes filled with love and anticipation.

"That's easy. Let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs send a car to pick us up. Embassy cars can't be checked, and we'll easily get to the embassy. Once inside the embassy, we'll find a way to get out." Ghost Hand suggested.

"Makes sense. With a fabricated identity and a silicone mask, we can follow diplomatic channels and return ho." Snow Leopard agreed, looking at Luo Zheng with hopeful eyes.

"It's not that simple. The embassy's car will definitely be under tight surveillance. Frequent trips here will certainly arouse suspicion, and they might send people to ambush the car on the way. If we're found, we're in big trouble." Mountain Eagle calmly objected.

"I agree with Mountain Eagle's analysis. We shouldn't go via the embassy, better not cause trouble for the embassy anymore. Such commotion would drive Yin Country crazy, and if we're discovered, they'd probably attack us like rabid dogs, dragging the nation down with us. That's not advisable. Let think." Luo Zheng said thoughtfully, his brows furrowed.

Everyone couldn't co up with a solution for the mont, so they simply stayed in the room to conserve their energy, eating and drinking well, sleeping soundly every day—it was a leisurely ti. Before they knew it, a day had passed. The next morning, a sudden phone call ca. It was from He Guozhu. Luo Zheng answered the call in surprise, asking, "It's . What's happened?"

"Hei Shi was stopped by the police on the way to you. He was exposed and got into a shootout with the enemy. Before dying, he called . On the night of the ambush at the palace's back gate, a local recognized him and reported him to the police. The police questioned Hei Shi about it when intercepting him, and now he's dead. His body has been taken away." He Guozhu's voice was sowhat incoherent, filled with grief and anger.

"What?" Luo Zheng's expression changed dramatically, filled with regret. Hei Shi, familiar with the terrain, had gone to drive. It was a double-edged sword; being familiar with the terrain ant a higher chance of being recognized. Luo Zheng hadn't expected this negligible loophole to actually occur. A brave intelligence officer had died for his country, refusing to surrender.

Luo Zheng stared at everyone in speechless agony. Lan Xue took the phone from him, listened for a mont, and her expression turned heavy too. She looked at the stunned Ghost Hand and the others, and said softly, "Hei Shi died for the country."

"What?" Ghost Hand and the others were shocked. After spending the past few days together, they had all acknowledged Hei Shi's presence - a sensible, aware, diligent, and courageous comrade. They talked about their plans to return ho every day, but never imagined he would die for the country, sacrificing himself in a foreign land, unable to ever return.

"We'll avenge him too." Ghost Hand said fiercely, his face cold with anger. Though they were accustod to life and death, they couldn't remain indifferent, especially to comrades who had shared life and death experiences with them.

"Yes, revenge." Snow Leopard agreed, his expression filled with rage, and Mountain Eagle nodded in agreent after so thought.

"Hei Shi died for our mission. We must avenge him; otherwise, we won't face anyone. At the very least, we must bring Hei Shi's remains ho. His greatest hope alive was to return ho. We must fulfill his last wish. Think of a way, everyone," Lan Xue said sorrowfully, her eyes on Luo Zheng.

"Everyone is right. We must avenge this," Luo Zheng said, his expression stern. He took the phone again and spoke to the waiting He Guozhu on the other end, "Has Yin Country taken any action against you?"

"Not for the mont. Yin Country doesn't know Hei Shi was one of us. Without enough evidence, they wouldn't dare act recklessly. I'm fine for now. I agree with your plan for revenge and also thank you on Hei Shi's behalf. However, our personnel have been withdrawn from the capital, and you're under tight surveillance. How will you seek revenge? I suggest waiting until the situation calms down, and then we can discuss revenge slowly." He Guozhu quickly replied.

"Don't worry about the revenge; I have my own thods. Can you arrange for to get to the embassy alone?" Luo Zheng said coldly.

"One person is not a problem. I'll take the embassy's car over. Other countries' ambassadors are staying at your place. I'll go under the pretense of a visit, and after visiting, I'll take you with without arousing suspicion, but you'd have to suffer by staying in the trunk." He Guozhu answered imdiately.

"Alright, when?" Luo Zheng asked.

"In two hours," He Guozhu replied.

After hanging up, Luo Zheng looked at everyone, seeing their worried expressions, which ward his heart. But, with determined eyes, he said, "I must get to the embassy to et the State Preceptor. Originally, I wanted to find a secluded place to use the State Preceptor's head to honor the spirits of our fallen comrades. Now, it seems impossible. I'll have to use the State Preceptor to exchange for Hei Shi's remains. Does anyone have any objections?"

They exchanged a glance and fell into deep thought. Indeed, the State Preceptor deserved to die, but Hei Shi's remains had to be brought back too, not letting Hei Shi die unjustly. Lan Xue glanced at everyone and said, "We can't easily release the State Preceptor; that's like letting a tiger return to the mountain. He must die, and we must bring Hei Shi's remains back. Think of a plan based on this."

"I have a plan, and I'll take responsibility for this. You all don't need to act." Luo Zheng said resolutely, "This is my duel with Jackson. As soon as I throw out the State Preceptor, Yin Country will hand over the remains. By then, I'll kill the State Preceptor to avenge our fallen comrades."

"What will you do? Talk about the specific plan. I won't agree if there isn't a feasible plan." Lan Xue said.

"Yes, we can't save one, only to lose another." Ghost Hand and the others also opposed.

"I have a rough idea; it's not mature yet and needs calm reflection. Don't worry, I understand your feelings." Luo Zheng felt warm inside and advised, frowning in thought.

Everyone exchanged glances, shaking their heads, indicating they wouldn't disturb Luo Zheng's thoughts. They also pondered. At this tense mont, how could anyone easily agree to hand over Hei Shi's remains?
