He was young and didn't understand.
Du Junlin, who had overheard everything outside the door, uttered these six words without a trace of sarcasm.
In terms of age—
Bai Ziyan was one year older than Li Qianfan, and Du Junlin was six months older than him. The fact that he was the youngest was irrefutable.
In terms of experience—
Not to mention Bai Ziyan, whose entire worldview had been twisted after witnessing the ugly scene of Jiao Meibi at a few years old.
Speaking of Du Junlin, she had personally led teams to hunt down drug dealers abroad years ago. She had experienced dozens of bloody battles and had seen the true, cruel side of this world.
She would never harbor any naive, saintly thoughts.
On the contrary, Li Qianfan—
Even though he had once forced Lan Ximing to his death, and with Shen Chongchong's help, had eliminated Sakai Momoe and others.
It could be said that he had done things that his peers dared not do, or even imagine.
But last night, his apology to Akiya Fubuko!
It exposed that his true mentality was far from mature.
He only saw the surface of things, not their essence.
This point.
Made Bai Ziyan look down on him immensely!
She even went out of her way to find people and things related to Akiya Fubuko to make him understand a principle: "When the avalanche happens, no snowflake is innocent."
Especially after the Tanaka family was massacred, Luo De, who was far away in the Black Water Forest, decisively took out the video of Xingxing's death to stabilize morale.
He made it public.
To provoke the Bai Dubiao combination, hoping to make them reveal a flaw.
As long as Bai Dubiao revealed a flaw, or their identities were exposed!
Then—
The immensely wealthy Luo De family would undoubtedly use their vast wealth to instigate countless people to seek revenge on Bai Dubiao's family in even more brutal ways!
"Your enemy hopes you will always be a saint."
This was the principle Bai Ziyan had racked her brains to make Li Qianfan understand.
If he couldn't understand, then he was still young, just a child.
Du Junlin understood Bai Ziyan's painstaking efforts and could genuinely feel Li Qianfan's current mood.
Driven by some instinct, she opened the door and said, "He's young and doesn't understand."
It was a very ordinary sentence, one that many people had grown tired of hearing, yet it also revealed something deep within Du Junlin's heart.
Li Qianfan looked up at her.
Du Junlin's gaze was calm as she met his eyes.
Li Qianfan shifted his gaze and lit a cigarette.
"Growth takes time. I understand that."
Bai Ziyan spoke again, "But he absolutely cannot afford to waste this time. Because any hint of his saintly compassion could affect our plans and bring terrible disasters to more people."
Du Junlin nodded in agreement.
"Normally, many videos show special agents from a certain country deliberately stopping traffic to let a few ducklings cross the road, presenting a noble image of respecting life. And they widely promote and publicize it."
Bai Ziyan couldn't help but say, "But they don't want the whole world to see that they can easily kill black people. Those philanthropists who are charitable in public are even more unwilling to let people know that when they plunder others' wealth, they instigate wars somewhere, causing countless innocent people to suffer."
"You don't need to say more, I know what to do!"
Li Qianfan raised his hand, interrupting Bai Ziyan.
He looked up at Du Junlin and said, "Yao Yao, come in and sit. Let's carefully plan our next steps."
Knowing where he went wrong and trying his best to avoid repeating similar mistakes!
Li Qianfan still believed he could achieve this.
The most important thing now was to revise the upcoming plan.
Because the enemy had released that video—
It was their counterattack!
It was a statement: "You can't scare us! It's impossible for us to lose morale and disperse because of this."
Since that was the case, it was imperative for Li Qianfan and his team to change their original plan.
Originally.
Li Qianfan and his team had planned to stay in Dongyang for three to five days.
To allow Bai Ziyan to spread the terror of the Tanaka family's annihilation to the whole world through the internet.
This would completely influence the beasts surrounding the Black Water Forest.
It would also let the new generation rushing from the East, who were heading there (Qin Zhou, Chu Yingying, and others), know that their compatriots were working with them through the clever tactic of "Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao" to save their fellow countrymen!
In this way.
The new generation heading there would no longer have to rush headlong into a confrontation with high-tech weapons with their flesh and blood, as they had in the past.
They could completely lurk around the forest, searching for the best ambush opportunities.
Dongyang was their first stop.
They had to do their best to maximize the atmosphere, to burden the enemy with the most terrifying psychological baggage!
It could be confirmed.
It would take Li Qianfan and his group a lot of time to kill their way through family by family.
As for whether the Kings (generally referring to the Hu Killing Squad) could endure that long within the forest, Li Qianfan didn't have time to consider.
He believed.
The Kings and others would definitely suffer from the beasts within the forest in order to survive.
The forest was not a desert.
There were bears and even tigers, but also deer-like creatures.
The Kings and others were not naive fools without wilderness survival experience.
As long as they could endure the initial hardship, and not walk out on their own like Xingxing, they could hold on until reinforcements appeared!
"Since they are not afraid, we must change our original plan."
Li Qianfan quickly gathered his thoughts and said to Bai Ziyan and Du Junlin, "We will temporarily abandon the plan of killing families one by one. We will focus on key targets."
Key targets—
Li Qianfan picked up a pen and paper from the table and wrote four characters.
The Luo De Family!!
The Luo De family members were spread across Europe and America.
This family originated in Germany during the war and built its nest in Britain.
"Money clinks, bad words stop abruptly" was their motto.
They firmly believed that consistently adhering to their traditions and protecting their interests was more important than doing business and making money.
Therefore, they had consistently practiced intra-family marriages over the years.
The result of these marriages was—
The truly foolish were foolish, the truly intelligent were intelligent, and the truly perverse were perverse.
The current generation of patriarchs of the Mo Xi family, one of the four major global powers, being so perverse was the best proof.
However, the Luo De family was smarter than the Mo Xi family.
They knew better than anyone that the saying "a barking dog doesn't bite" was more practical than God's words, "My child, do some good deeds."
Simply put, they were accustomed to and skilled at stirring up trouble from behind the scenes.
Once they had to step forward—
They would only show their benevolent and kind side to others.
"The croaking sounds of Tianzhong Xiaofang and others last night once again proved that the rapid rise of the dark web was supported by the Luo De family. There must also be a large number of dark web experts in the Black Water Forest."
Li Qianfan said, "I've decided to temporarily abandon the action of slaughtering the Smith and other families. We will focus on the Luo De family!"
Bai Ziyan understood, "You mean, we go directly to Britain?"
"Yes. We strike directly at the Luo De family's stronghold. We kill as many as we can. After killing enough people within the specified time limit, we will then go to Huadun in America. The people there are even more arrogant."
Li Qianfan dropped the pen and said, "But before we leave, we need to eliminate the important figures of the dark web in Dongyang."
He said this and picked up the backpack from the sofa.
It contained several mobile phones.
These mobile phones belonged to three of Tianzhong Xiaofang's swallows.
Li Qianfan had taken their phones when he retreated last night. Based on the contacts and information stored on their phones, Li Qianfan believed that with Bai Ziyan's skills, it would not be difficult to find their companions and their whereabouts.
Li Qianfan nodded, "As long as we eliminate them, and let the dark web see our determination and know fear, the pressure in the Black Water Forest can be effectively reduced."
At ten o'clock in the evening.
Li Qianfan came to the balcony and opened the window.
The wind with the scent of the sea immediately rushed in.
Below on the road, police lights flashed and sirens wailed from time to time.
The horrific massacre of the Tanaka family last night had not only shaken Dongyang.
The entire world had been shocked—
Countless people were strongly condemning Bai Dubiao's cruel actions!
Many of these people condemning Bai Dubiao were from Dongtu.
But these people condemning Bai Dubiao had all overlooked the video released by Luo De.
They were just focusing on the part where Bai Dubiao brutally killed Akiya Fubuko and making a big fuss about it.
International special agents had even dispatched elite troops to Dongyang, determined to capture Bai Dubiao.
But with Bai Ziyan present—
It would be as difficult as climbing to the sky for those people to find their whereabouts!
Li Qianfan watched a video condemning Bai Dubiao and gave a cold smile.
He took out a "disposable" mobile phone and dialed a number.
The call was answered instantly.
Chu Yazhi's voice came through, "Who is it?"
This was Dongtu—
At nine-thirty in the star-filled evening, by the West Lake.
Inside a car.
A woman who was quietly observing Chu Yazhi with a monocular, saw her take out her phone. She immediately reported to Madam Jia, who was resting with her eyes closed in the passenger seat, "Madam, Chu Yazhi is answering the phone."
