The Dragon City Rises

　　Outside the Dragon City, at the front-line suppression base of the First Army Corps.

　　Yuan Biao looked at Lü Zhen and asked directly, "What's the mission?"

　　Lü Zhen thought for a moment and then said, "It sounds a bit bizarre. I don't know the specific mission. They only gave me one sentence."

　　Yuan Biao immediately pressed, "What sentence?"

　　"Mission area: Panama City and the Old Mexico area. Mission objective: unknown. Departure time: to be determined." After Lü Zhen finished speaking, he added, "But you need to be prepared. You'll be notified at any time, and you'll leave at any time."

　　After hearing this, Yuan Biao couldn't help but be stunned and subconsciously asked, "Is this mission so mysterious that even you don't know the detailed plan?"

　　Lü Zhen smiled, spread his hands, and said, "Isn't there a new guy, Kong ZhengHui? After killing his friend, he wants to show off and is very strict about protecting information. He's in charge of strategizing, but we still have to do the work ourselves."

　　Yuan Biao thought for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "Alright, if you pay, I'll do it."

　　"I guarantee you'll be satisfied with the price." Lü Zhen picked up a can of soda, took a big gulp, and said with a smile, "Alright, nothing else. Just be prepared, and come to me if you need anything."

　　After speaking, Lü Zhen put the soda on the table and got up to leave.

　　Seeing that he was leaving, Yuan Biao hurriedly called out, "Wait a minute!"

　　Lü Zhen stopped and turned back to ask, "What's wrong?"

　　Yuan Biao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well, I sent Xiao Yan thirty messages, and she only replied to one... Did you talk to her?"

　　Looking at Yuan Biao's serious expression, Lü Zhen was speechless for a moment, and an inexplicable fire rose in his heart. But he still tried to restrain himself, turned around, walked to Yuan Biao's side, bent down, and stared at his cheek, saying, "I can put her on your bed, but I can't decide what's going on in her head. I'm not her dad, and I'm not your dad... Ok?"

　　Yuan Biao looked at him, suddenly smiled, and said, "Hehe, are you feeling unbalanced?"

　　"Just a woman!" Lü Zhen said, turned around, and left.

　　Yuan Biao sat alone on the sofa, rubbed his face hard, picked up his phone, and sent a text message to his good brother: "Lao Ni, I'm in the lounge, come over here."

　　……

　　Five minutes later, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and Ni Huan walked in.

　　As Yuan Biao's right-hand man, Ni Huan was not only capable and excellent, but also his best friend.

　　After coming in, Ni Huan directly sat down on the sofa opposite him and asked Yuan Biao, "What's the situation?"

　　"Two things." Yuan Biao poured him a glass of water, then said, "The money will be in the account tomorrow. Calculate it and distribute it to the brothers. Then, take out fifty percent from my share and subsidize the brothers."

　　Ni Huan took a sip of water, and hearing this, couldn't help but say, "There's no need for that, right? Give everyone as much as you agreed on. Everyone's risk is the same. Why divide up yours?"

　　Yuan Biao waved his hand, paused for a moment, and continued, "Sigh, this job is different from previous ones. The intensity of the confrontation is relatively high. A wave of attacks can wipe out a hundred or so people. The brothers below are all licking blood off the knife's edge. It's not easy to survive... let's divide it up. Money isn't a big deal to me."

　　Ni Huan couldn't help but tease, "Then what is a big deal, Xiao Yan?"

　　Yuan Biao was stunned for a moment, smiled, and nodded, "Hehe, yeah, Xiao Yan is a big deal."

　　Ni Huan's face showed an incredible expression. After hesitating for a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Brother, I've had a question in my mind for the past few days. Tell me, are you sick? Why are you so fond of her? To put it bluntly, if we fucking quit, with your wealth, you could find a hundred virgins, so why do you have to have her? What's so good about her? That one night of memories... was it really that pleasurable?"

　　Yuan Biao glanced at him, "You don't understand. Sometimes, you can't explain matters of love between men and women clearly, and you can't look at them from a rational and objective point of view. I just like that energy she has. Fate is a wonderful thing. It's the same as why we're the best of friends when there are so many people together. You can't explain this kind of feeling to an old womanizer like you."

　　Ni Huan was speechless when he heard this, and he stopped trying to persuade him. He simply said, "Alright, let's not talk nonsense. Let's continue with the second thing."

　　Yuan Biao nodded and continued, "There's a mission. I don't know when we'll leave, but I estimate it'll be in the next few days. Fully equip everyone and prepare for infiltration operations. Notify the team members below that their rest is over and to wait for orders in the dormitory building."

　　Ni Huan immediately replied, "Okay, I got it. I'll go prepare."

　　With that, he got up and was about to walk out.

　　At this moment, Yuan Biao suddenly said, "Lao Ni, has that woman been found?"

　　When Ni Huan heard this, he slowly sat down, his brows furrowed in worry, and he couldn't help but sigh softly, "Fuck, find what? I don't know where she ran off to! I've been busy with things here recently and haven't had time to look. That bitch even took my son with her. If I catch her, I'll skin her alive!"

　　Ni Huan was married and had a family in District Five, with a wife and a son. Because he didn't go home often, his relationship with his wife was relatively ordinary.

　　However, although Ni Huan was busy with his career, he didn't lack money at home. But suddenly one day, his wife suddenly ran away with someone, taking the child with her. Ni Huan looked for her for a long time but couldn't find her.

　　Ni Huan hadn't told anyone about these family matters, only Yuan Biao knew.

　　After all, they were the best of friends and had been brothers for many years, and they talked about everything. He also knew about Yuan Biao's affairs.

　　Hearing this, Yuan Biao also sighed, "Sigh, I love too deeply, and you only use your lower body. It would be great if we could combine the two."

　　Ni Huan quickly waved his hand, "Okay, okay, don't compare me to you. I haven't treated her badly either. I've given her all the money she needs, and she doesn't lack food or clothing. I just can't figure out why she suddenly ran away?"

　　Yuan Biao became even more sentimental, "What else could it be? She lacks love."

　　Ni Huan suddenly got goosebumps all over his body, and quickly got up and said, "You should talk about love with Xiao Yan. Alright, I'm leaving!"

　　"Okay, I'll help you investigate her when I'm done. We have to get our son back."

　　"Yeah, yeah."

　　After the two finished talking, Ni Huan left the room.

　　……

　　At the same time, in the chief of staff's office at the front-line suppression base.

　　Kang DingHuang and Kong ZhengHui were sitting on the sofa, with some snacks and two bottles of beer on the table next to them.

　　Kong ZhengHui held the plan and said again, "This plan of mine requires the help of an inside agent. I've already made contact."

　　Kang DingHuang's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "From which area?"
