Lan Xue was also worried about the safety of their comrades and wanted to activate the communicator to contact the outside world. However, she feared that once the communicator's satellite signal source was detected by Sam Country, it would imdiately attract pursuit, so she had to endure not using it. She didn't even dare to turn on her phone. Suddenly, she heard the phone ring in the room, which puzzled her greatly. When she answered it, she was surprised to hear an identity recognition signal from headquarters. Instantly, she understood what was happening. Upon hearing Lan Xing's greeting, she quickly said, "It's , I'm okay. Three brothers are with , we're temporarily safe. What's the situation outside?"
"Your brother-in-law's whereabouts are unknown, others fought desperately, and finally surrendered temporarily as ordered. It's good that you're okay. Although the signal source from the communicator wasn't deciphered by Sam Country, they did detect it. Don't turn on the communicator. We are modifying the signal source, and it will take so ti before it can be used." Lan Xing quickly said.
"So it's the signal source that exposed us." Upon hearing this, Lan Xue's expression changed drastically, and she asked, "Was it because we gathered together and ford a strong signal source that Sam Country captured it?"
"That's possible." Lan Xing quickly replied.
"Now is not the ti to talk about this. Since you've safely avoided the search in the hotel, just stay put. We'll discuss things after sunrise. Do not go out looking for the Ghost." Mr. Li sternly interjected.
"Grandpa?" Lan Xue was taken aback and questioned, "Why? He's very dangerous out there alone."
"You'll be in more danger if you go. He should have already escaped, and being alone is more convenient for him to move. The entire exterior is under martial law, with tens of thousands searching. Do you think they'll just give up after not finding you? Stay put to avoid causing more trouble. Revenge can wait; lay low for now. Currently, they are known and we are hidden. If you go out, you'll be exposed. Understand?" Mr. Li sternly instructed.
"Understood." Lan Xue quickly agreed, feeling heartbroken as she learned all her comrades had been captured. Tears rolled down her face. She took a deep breath, swallowing the pain, and asked, "How are the casualties among the brothers?"
"Not very clear, but it shouldn't be too bad. Don't worry." Mr. Li coldly stated, not disclosing the truth to prevent Lan Xue from worrying. With furrowed brows, he continued after a mont of contemplation, "We'll settle this debt of blood slowly. Don't rush. As for the brothers who were captured, it was my order for them to surrender. The organization won't bla them. If there's a chance tomorrow, return to the embassy and await orders."
"Understood." Lan Xue quickly agreed.
After hanging up, Lan Xue briefed the other three people on the situation. Upon hearing that their comrades had surrendered after a fierce battle, they felt intensely uncomfortable, not because they blad them for surrendering, but because they felt unsatisfied. As mbers of the National Blade Soldier King, surrendering was a lifelong disgrace imposed by the enemy. At this mont, their hearts were filled with hatred and anger, looking at Lan Xue with a murderous intent as they urgently said, "Let's go rescue them."
"Don't rush. We must rescue them, but it must be carefully planned. Otherwise, we won't succeed and will also risk ourselves. There are nearly ten thousand people searching outside. Going out now is suicide. Let's wait here and discuss it after sunrise. If there's a chance, we'll return to the embassy, find the Ghost, and then plan the rescue." Lan Xue solemnly said.
Everyone realized the logic and exchanged helpless glances, deciding to stay silent. Lan Xue glanced at the three and continued to instruct, "Alright, you three should go back to your room and rest. Have a good rest; you need to recuperate to avenge our brothers and save them."
"Yes." The three responded and headed toward their rooms.
Lan Xue didn't go back to rest but sat quietly on the sofa, deep in thought, filled with worry and concern about whether her brothers could survive this ordeal and the safety of Luo Zheng. She remained motionless like a statue, with only her eyes occasionally blinking, revealing endless worries.
After a while, Lan Xue knew that self-pity was aningless. She bit her lip, returned to her room to rest, and resolved to gather her strength for the fight, walking with firm steps and a resolute, murderous intent.
...
anwhile, Luo Zheng was driving at full speed and soon reached a city. His car was running low on fuel, so he drove it to a self-service gas station. Without a card, he couldn't refuel. He noticed a supermarket next to the station with its lights on but no one inside. After waiting for a while, he saw a sports car approaching and felt relieved, formulating a plan.
Soon, the sports car roared into the gas station and stopped to refuel. The owner swiped a card and inserted the fuel nozzle into the gas tank, glancing at Luo Zheng. Luo Zheng approached and said in an international language, "Can I borrow a light?"
Assuming Luo Zheng wanted to smoke, the owner didn't check Luo Zheng's hands for a cigarette and began searching his pockets for a lighter. At this mont, Luo Zheng swiftly approached, delivered a karate chop to knock the owner unconscious, quickly supported him before he fell, and dragged him into the back seat of the small car Luo Zheng had commandeered, shutting the door tightly.
After everything was done, Luo Zheng walked to the sports car, waited for it to finish refueling, replaced the nozzle, closed the cap, checked that no one was watching, and swiftly opened the sports car door, driving off from the gas station at full throttle, racing forward.
The previous car was stolen and was inevitably exposed by now. It was no longer safe to use. With this sports car, he could get so more distance. Luo Zheng checked his watch; dawn was not far off, so he stepped harder on the gas, speeding up a bit more.
The sports car sped through the countryside highway, with no checkpoints, only an occasional passing car. Luo Zheng opened the window, letting the wind in. Under the moonlight, with the cold stars twinkling, his thoughts grew calr. After a while, he picked up the phone but decided against turning it on, tossing it aside, and continued driving.
After dawn, Luo Zheng reached another city, parked the car in a high-speed rail station parking lot, had breakfast, and used diplomatic credentials to buy a ticket for the first high-speed train heading to the capital of Sam Country. The journey was safe, without any inspections. By noon, the train reached the capital.
Getting off, Luo Zheng saw people conducting targeted inspections at the exit, checking young Asians regardless of gender, with ard personnel standing by, treating the situation as a major threat. When they saw Luo Zheng approaching, they waved him over. Luo Zheng calmly approached, handed over his work credentials, and was imdiately allowed through after they checked the docunt.
Luo Zheng took back his credentials and left quickly, secretly relieved that his public identity hadn't been exposed. This identity cover would make the subsequent tasks much easier. Once out of the high-speed rail station, he found a random place to sit down and eat. Watching the pedestrians hurry by on the street, he began to contemplate the rescue plan. (Note: Wishing everyone a happy New Year with family harmony, and thanks to everyone for their support and affection. In the new year, I will continue to update and write good works to thank everyone. Thank you!)
