“Can’t we not go?”
Yu Mengzhi worried that Chen Jinzhao would get into trouble, and if he did, it would be very serious. “We can’t rush into this. I feel like you’re making a sudden decision and might overlook some details.”
Although Yu Mengzhi didn’t know what Chen Jinzhao was doing, she could vaguely guess.
Chen Jinzhao raised his hand and rubbed Yu Mengzhi’s head, saying calmly, “I didn’t tell you before that Yamamoto Chizuru and Leng Jiaying were both targets of special surveillance. They were sent by hostile forces. My original plan was to keep these two and see what they would do, but they actually made a move against you. This is something I cannot tolerate.”
“Are you going to…” Yu Mengzhi hesitated for a moment.
Then she continued, “Kill them?”
Killing was an unimaginable thing for Yu Mengzhi. In her more than twenty years of life, she had never witnessed it firsthand.
Chen Jinzhao did not respond directly but said, “Don’t overthink it. Rest well and wait for me to return.”
Yu Mengzhi tightly gripped Chen Jinzhao’s hand, unwilling to let him leave.
“Does Director Yu not trust me?” Chen Jinzhao smiled faintly. Yu Mengzhi’s inner tension slightly eased. She then reached out to hug Chen Jinzhao and leaned her head on his shoulder.
“Promise me you’ll come back safely,” Yu Mengzhi whispered.
Chen Jinzhao grunted.
After a moment of tenderness, Chen Jinzhao got up and left, disappearing into the darkness.
Chen Jinzhao immediately contacted Shangguan Yu'an and asked him to contact Yang Qin’hu to lead a ten-person team to secretly arrive in Ninghai. Shangguan Yu'an excitedly said, “Instructor, is there an operation tonight?”
“Yes, we’ll talk when we meet,” Chen Jinzhao replied.
Chen Jinzhao returned to his residence, found Zhu Ziqian’s equipment, and planned to lure the snake out of its hole. After getting his gear ready, Chen Jinzhao specifically brought Tai Sui, intending to use this saber to cut off Yamamoto Chizuru’s head!
Meanwhile.
Shangguan Yu'an and the others had also arrived.
Chen Jinzhao explained his plan to everyone. Yang Qin’hu excitedly said, “We have trained for a thousand days to use them for a moment. Instructor Chen, just tell us what to do. Our duty is to obey orders!”
“Alright, I will assign tasks to each of you. Listen carefully!” Chen Jinzhao commanded.
“Tonight’s mission, success is mandatory, failure is not an option!”
“Shangguan Yu'an, you go back to Ninghai University and create a false scenario of a laboratory theft…”
Chen Jinzhao assigned tasks to everyone one by one. To make the ruse more believable, Chen Jinzhao even planned to keep Tao Qiyue and the others in the dark, guiding them to conduct a city-wide search.
He didn’t believe that Yamamoto Chizuru could remain calm under such circumstances.
It would be unforgivable not to act personally.
Shangguan Yu'an and Yang Qin’hu received their tasks. Shangguan Yu'an, however, expressed some concern, “Instructor, if this is the case, you will have to face three people simultaneously. Can you handle it?”
“How about we have Instructor Yang accompany you?”
Chen Jinzhao shook his head. “I can handle it alone. One more person means one more risk of exposure. We’ve finally reached the moment to cast the net, and I don’t want to alert the enemy. Besides Leng Jiaying and Yamamoto Chizuru, Pangolin is also a dangerous individual.”
“Everyone, move out immediately!”
Chen Jinzhao put on his mask and plunged into the night, like a hidden dragon emerging from its lair!
On the other side.
Yamamoto Chizuru and Leng Jiaying had returned to their hotel and were severely reprimanded by members of the delegation.
The incident had become a huge scandal, known almost worldwide. It caused great embarrassment and criticism for the high-ranking officials of the Eastern Ying delegation, all due to Yamamoto Chizuru.
In addition to the scolding, the delegation’s VIPs strictly ordered Yamamoto Chizuru to cease public appearances in China and even commanded him to return to his country within three days to face punishment.
Yamamoto Chizuru was reprimanded like a subordinate, and a surge of anger welled up in his heart.
But he also understood that it was indeed time to lie low and avoid being under the scrutiny of countless eyes, as this would severely affect the mission assigned by the Black Blood organization.
After apologizing to the VIPs of the delegation, Yamamoto Chizuru and Leng Jiaying returned to their room. Leng Jiaying meekly said, “Lord Chizuru, did I do something wrong? I feel terrible for causing you to be reprimanded. Why don’t you punish me?”
“Again?” Yamamoto Chizuru was almost unable to stand.
Leng Jiaying quickly lowered her head, not daring to mention it again. Yamamoto Chizuru said coldly, “Although I don’t know who administered those drugs, I am certain it has something to do with Chen Jinzhao. The delegation has only given me three days! This means that within these three days, I must either kill Chen Jinzhao or transfer the laboratory data overseas. However, both of these tasks are still too difficult for me.”
Three days was simply not enough time.
Tonight’s incident was a major one and would affect the entire situation.
“Three days…”
Yamamoto Chizuru scratched his head. “How can I complete one of these tasks within three days?”
Leng Jiaying hugged him and said, “Even if we can’t kill Chen Jinzhao, we can assassinate Wen Fulai or Xu Nianqing. For them, the loss of one person would affect the experimental progress, buying our organization more time.”
“Yes, it seems this is the only way. We have to go all out,” Yamamoto Chizuru nodded.
With nothing to do in the evening, the two began to discuss life again.
At two in the morning.
Yamamoto Chizuru lay on the bed, smoking, and said to Leng Jiaying, “You know, I’ve been running around these past few days and I’m a bit tired…”
Leng Jiaying thoughtfully said, “I know, in my heart, Lord Chizuru is still the strongest.”
However, these words were somewhat against her true feelings.
At this moment.
Yamamoto Chizuru’s phone vibrated. Before he could check it, Leng Jiaying’s phone also began to vibrate. They looked at each other and became fully alert, picking up their respective phones to check the messages.
“Hiss—”
“Ninghai University laboratory caught fire. Nearby residents even heard gunshots.”
“The Ninghai Municipal Bureau is searching for the suspect’s whereabouts.”
The messages they received were all similar.
Their respective networks were quite good, allowing them to obtain the latest and most reliable information immediately.
Leng Jiaying laughed heartily, “Excellent! It must be our people who took action!”
Yamamoto Chizuru also smiled, “When you’re tired, someone brings you a pillow. This feeling is truly wonderful. You get ready first. As soon as there’s news, we’ll move. I just wonder what the harvest will be this time.”
The gloom in their hearts vanished, and they regained their spirits.
After Leng Jiaying calmed down, she hesitated. The events of the night were too concentrated, and there seemed to be a sense of coincidence involved. She initially wanted to voice her concerns to Yamamoto Chizuru, but seeing how happy he was, she obediently kept quiet, not wanting to dampen his spirits. At the same time, she comforted herself, thinking that perhaps she was overthinking.
“Let’s wait a little longer, maybe there will be a surprise,” Yamamoto Chizuru murmured.
About half an hour later.
Another message came through Leng Jiaying’s communicator, sent by someone codenamed ‘Boar’. Upon reading the message, Leng Jiaying was so excited she almost dropped the communicator.
“Nightingale, what’s wrong?” Yamamoto Chizuru asked, confused.
Leng Jiaying was so excited she could barely speak. After taking a few deep breaths, she said, “Lord Chizuru, it is indeed the work of our members. Boar sneaked into the laboratory overnight, stole some important data, and set fire to the rest that couldn’t be taken! How come I never noticed before that Boar is so capable? However, he is now in critical condition. He was shot by a pistol while escaping, and China is currently apprehending him!”
“Can this Boar be trusted?” Yamamoto Chizuru asked.
Leng Jiaying nodded, “They are all my subordinates, of course, I trust them.”
Yamamoto Chizuru hesitated whether to act. Leng Jiaying said, “Lord Chizuru, why don’t I go alone? You can wait for my good news at the hotel.”
“Let’s wait a moment. Can you track Chen Jinzhao’s whereabouts now?” Yamamoto Chizuru asked.
Leng Jiaying replied, “His whereabouts are indeed known. He seems to be participating in the apprehension operation. I need to find Boar before he does.”
Yamamoto Chizuru also began to feel anxious. Chen Jinzhao’s abilities were well-known, otherwise, he wouldn’t be called the Eye of the Candle Dragon by the international community. After pacing in the room for a few circles, Yamamoto Chizuru narrowed his eyes and said, “Fortune favors the bold. I’ll go with you. If we can obtain the experimental data, my status within the Black Blood Group will be further elevated. Becoming a top executive might not be impossible.”
“However, we cannot go to the address he provided. You should have him go to a designated safe location. We must guard against certain things.”
