Strongest Soldier King

Chapter 865: Both Sides Make Moves



An hour later, Luo Zheng was watching the surveillance video in the conference room. Ghost Hand copied it from the bar Liu Qingqing mentioned. The whole team and Hong Meihua were watching the video together. The video clearly recorded Liu Qingqing and Tang Tian causing a commotion in the bar. Luo Zheng watched Tang Tian's moves carefully, his face calm, eyebrows furrowed, continuously pondering.

After the video finished, Luo Zheng glanced at everyone, his gaze falling on Hong Meihua. With a serious expression, he said, "Tang Tian's skills have a touch of battlefield combat techniques. From the fighting style, it seems she's deliberately concealing her abilities, trying not to show them. Her skills are not bad; this girl is not simple."

"It does look like battlefield combat style, fierce and concise. At the very least, the person who taught her is either a soldier or a mercenary. With her current skill, in close combat, she could handle a member of the Special Forces. The key is her practical experience seems very rich. Her eyes are firm, and her moves decisive when fighting. She must have been on the battlefield and seen blood. This doesn't match her age, experience, and identity. This person is indeed not simple," Hong Meihua agreed.

Everyone present was sharp-eyed and noticed this point. They began to ponder. An extraordinary person was adopted at ten years old. Records show she was a good student, with a normal growth trajectory, going to school step by step. How could such a person have seen blood? Everyone was puzzled.

"Regardless, this person is not simple, and we must investigate her background deeply, see where she goes on holidays. Judging by her foster father not being harmed, there's no coercion involved. According to Liu Qingqing, Tang Tian's IQ is over 130. Such a smart person couldn't be easily deceived or manipulated. Given her relationship with Liu Qingqing, she also knows Liu Qingqing is under protection, with no coercion or deception. Why did she invite Liu Qingqing to the birthday party? Is it really just a regular invitation?" Luo Zheng said with a serious expression.

"Even if it's a regular invitation, we can't afford to be careless. Liu Qingqing leaving the villa itself carries risk. Besides, Tang Tian's identity is peculiar and also a variable. We can't let Liu Qingqing attend the birthday party," Ghost Hand cautiously reminded.

"Unless we have enough confidence to ensure Liu Qingqing's safety, then we could use this opportunity to drag out the mastermind behind the scenes, but it's too risky," Mountain Eagle cautiously said.

"Better not. Our task is to ensure the safety of the mother and daughter," Snow Leopard said.

"There's a new situation. Half an hour ago, Liu Qingqing suddenly became adamant about attending this birthday party and even wanted to bring her family, namely her mother. Besides, she said other classmates are also bringing their families to some kind of charity donation event," Lan Xue said with a troubled look, glancing at Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng had talked with Liu Qingqing an hour ago, and she had firmly assured that she wouldn't go. Why did she suddenly change her mind half an hour ago? With Liu Qingqing's intelligence, she should know the danger of such a decision. Why did she choose this way? There must be something strange. Luo Zheng looked at Lan Xue in surprise, who understood and shook her head, indicating she was unaware. Luo Zheng then looked at Hong Meihua.

After a moment of contemplation, Hong Meihua said, "This indicates that Liu Qingqing is hiding something, and she must have a purpose."

"We cannot interfere with Liu Qingqing's normal life. If she insists on going to the birthday party, forcing her to stay will just make things awkward for everyone. If there really is a conspiracy, it's unlikely to unfold with the birthday party being held here. Do you have any opinions?" Luo Zheng asked angrily.

"Regardless of Liu Qingqing's request, our brothers' sacrifices must have value. We can't act recklessly. We can report this to the General and gain his support," Ghost Hand said.

"I actually think we can go," Hong Meihua suddenly said.

"Oh? Share your thoughts," Luo Zheng said in surprise, looking at Hong Meihua. Everyone knew Hong Meihua wasn't one to make baseless statements. She was meticulous and careful in her actions. Everyone looked curiously at her.

"Since Liu Qingqing insists, there must be a reason. In other words, Liu Qingqing is problematic. We can agree to her request but on one condition: we handle the security for the birthday party. Everyone attending must undergo our checks to prevent any deadly weapons from entering. I'll assist Lan Xue in close protection; the problem shouldn't be too big, and we'll have a chance to catch the mastermind. What do you think?" Hong Meihua explained.

Luo Zheng was taken aback, his eyes brightening. Although risky, it wasn't impossible to try. After some thought, he looked at Lan Xue, who nodded. Luo Zheng smiled and said, "If no one has objections, we might as well give it a shot and force the enemy out. Otherwise, the enemy hiding in the dark is more deadly."

"I think it's feasible. Regardless of Liu Qingqing's purpose, as long as she agrees to our terms, we can try. Otherwise, we have a reason to refuse," Lan Xue agreed.

Everyone found this reasonable and didn't oppose further, all looking at Luo Zheng. After some thought, Luo Zheng continued, "Liu Qingqing surely has a purpose. Whatever it is, there's no need for us to guess. Xue Er, coordinate with Liu Qingqing. To achieve her goals, she should agree to our conditions. Even if Liu Qingqing has no purpose, if there's truly a mastermind, to achieve their aims, they will agree to our terms. Everyone, prepare separately."

"Yes," everyone said in unison.

"The birthday party is tomorrow night. Hong Meihua, please inspect the surroundings and arrange the defenses. Ghost Hand, get help from He Shan and the others, and call up Shi Feng and others to ensure no danger at the birthday party's site. Be thorough; don't overlook any detail above or below ground," Luo Zheng instructed.

"Yes," Hong Meihua and Ghost Hand agreed. Although Hong Meihua held a higher rank and wasn't under Luo Zheng's command, after Luo Zheng helped Hong Meihua get revenge, Hong Meihua subtly placed Luo Zheng's status first and was willing to take his orders.

Luo Zheng didn't mind these details, but Lan Xue noticed with keen insight, feeling pleased inside. She looked at Luo Zheng, not exposing the matter, and asked, "The opponent might set up an ambush on the way. How do we arrange defenses along the route?"

"Deploying police forces might alert them. Let's have those gangsters take care of it. Ghost Hand, notify Little Dao and the others to keep a close watch on all movements along the route. How should we set the route? Let's determine that," Luo Zheng said.

Lan Xing quickly brought up the map on the screen. After observing for a while, everyone quickly confirmed a route. This route had few traffic lights and not many tall buildings, making it less expected by others.

"This is a new test, carrying great risks. Everyone must fully commit to capturing the mastermind. Otherwise, taking such a big risk wouldn't be worth it," Luo Zheng finally said, looking at everyone with determined eyes and an aura of confidence emerging.

"Yes," everyone said in unison, with their fighting spirit also igniting.
