Wu Di said in a deep voice, "On the surface, it's not difficult, but it has no requirements. Don't you think that's strange?"
Liu Tianzhi's expression froze.
Wu Di continued, "They say the command is entirely up to us, but then they say it's a test for us. Fortunately, we've already formed a team. If it were like Li Chonglou and the other two, what kind of test would that be?"
Liu Tianzhi's brow furrowed.
"Brother Wu, are you implying that this mission might have follow-ups?"
Wu Di glanced back.
"More or less. No one is accompanying us this time. We just need to bring the person back. What kind of test is that?"
In fact, Wu Di was also extremely puzzled.
This mission had come too suddenly, and it always gave people the feeling that it was a hastily arranged assignment. As a result, many details didn't make sense.
For instance, at the beginning, Instructor Zhong Hanzi said it was a test for them, but it was also a team mission without any conditions. Wouldn't that mean that as long as one of them could complete the mission, the others could slack off and sleep, and still pass?
What could that possibly test?
They had come to Donghai Island in the same way. If it were a real test mission, there should be mandatory requirements for each of them.
For example, teams would be formed by those in charge, tasks assigned, and then an overall assessment conducted.
But there was nothing now!
It was like they were dragged out of sleep and thrown into the sea.
The wind on the coast flapped their clothes loudly. Except for Li Chonglou and the other one, the rest quickly gathered.
After Wu Di's reminder, Liu Tianzhi also looked worried. Liu Tixing, on the other hand, maintained a somber expression, his emotions unreadable.
Once everyone had gathered, Wu Di immediately raised the issue in front of them.
They looked at each other.
"Captain Wu, what should we do next? Investigate here first?"
"No."
A determined look flashed in Wu Di's eyes.
"Let's not do anything else. Just as Instructor Zhong Hanzi said, let's strike directly at the heart of the enemy and finish it quickly!"
"As for the other two, we don't need to worry about them."
As he said this, Wu Di suddenly glanced at Liu Tixing. The latter was startled and instinctively looked away, but immediately regretted it.
Because he also felt that his reaction was a bit too abnormal.
So he couldn't help but say, "Let's do as Captain Wu says. The information is given by the higher-ups. If we waste more time investigating, it will undoubtedly be distrust towards the organization."
Although everyone felt a bit strange, they eventually followed Wu Di's arrangement.
So, following the information they saw on the plane, they moved silently and rapidly towards the depths of the jungle.
On the other side, Li Chonglou and Chen Pingfan also entered the jungle.
"Brother Li, what did you mean just now?"
"Literally. Let's be casual passengers this time."
Chen Pingfan looked bewildered.
"It means to do nothing and let them handle it."
"Oh, reap the rewards without lifting a finger?"
Chen Pingfan's eyes lit up. Thinking back, there were no strict requirements for each of them to contribute, and no one was accompanying them this time. Who would know if they slacked off?
Li Chonglou nodded, but he felt something was amiss.
From the beginning, he suspected that this mission was targeted at him, especially since it was an overseas mission.
However, after arriving, there were no restrictions on his freedom, and Wu Di and the others had come along.
It couldn't be that for him, everyone would be put in danger, right?
So, logically, there shouldn't be any problems with this mission.
But if there were truly no problems, why were there so many doubts about this mission?
Was it a coincidence, or was there something else he didn't know?
He couldn't figure it out. Even Li Chonglou, who considered himself knowledgeable, couldn't understand it at all. So, he could only hide for now, thinking, "This mission has nothing to do with me!"
"Let's see first."
Chen Pingfan, looking puzzled, was pulled along and they hid in an abandoned cave.
At the same time, in the office of the highest leader of the General Bureau.
The white-haired man stared coldly at the man in front of him.
"Why are the new members of the Executive Department suddenly assigned an overseas mission?"
As the boss of the General Bureau, Li Chonglou had received the news as soon as they boarded the plane. He had wanted to stop them, but the intelligence from the other side had already been passed on by an informant, and it was too late.
He knew the rules of the Executive Department. Assigning such a mission at this time was completely against common practice!
It was also the most abrupt mission for the Executive Department in the past hundred years!
The person standing before him was the one who had issued the order, the third-in-command of the Executive Department, Feng Xi, who was specifically responsible for branch base affairs.
Feng Xi looked younger than the white-haired man, but he dared not show any disrespect while standing before him.
"Reporting to the boss, this time, I was also forced into a corner."
Slightly bowing, Feng Xi showed a look of helplessness on his face.
The white-haired man stared directly into his eyes: "Were you threatened? Or were your family members threatened?"
Feng Xi quickly shook his head: "Boss, no, it's just that the San Hui called suddenly last night."
"The San Hui called you?"
"Yes, they said that our execution department has too many people in this year's league, and they suspect us of tampering."
The white-haired man's expression changed slightly, and he blurted out, "Nonsense! For so many years, it's been both of them who have had cheating records!"
Feng Xi said helplessly, "That's what I said, but they said they have already discussed and decided that either we arrange a new mission for re-evaluation, or we reduce our numbers ourselves."
"Why didn't you tell me about this? I'll talk to them..."
Before the white-haired man could finish speaking, Feng Xi leaned in and said, "Boss, don't worry. I've already negotiated terms with them. In the end, as long as I arrange another mission into the Dongmen for them, they can participate in as many as they can pass in this league afterward."
"Boss, only the two of us know the inside story about the Dongmen matter. Letting them go is a mission given for free, isn't it?"
"Are you talking about the informant we mentioned before?"
"Yes! I've already made arrangements. The Lei Sect people will not interfere this time, and the Flying Fish organization's highest combat power has just entered the sixth level. If they can't even handle this, won't they lose face for us too?"
The white-haired man's expression softened considerably.
"Dr. Qiu Wen is also our top researcher. Rescuing him should be enough. However, are you sure about sending a group of newcomers? Can they handle it?"
The subtext of this question was clear: they were not as important as Dr. Qiu Wen!
