Chapter 867: Qingqing Was Deceived
With a single command, the female informant officer who received the call exchanged a glance with her colleague. The two nodded in tacit understanding, quickly took out makeup tools from the bag, put on wigs and silicone masks, disguising themselves as Mrs. Liu and her daughter. This shocked the two Zhongnanhai bodyguards in the car, but they quickly responded and did not ask more questions.
"What's the plan?" On the car, Liu Qingqing asked Luo Zheng suspiciously.
"Nothing, just a security plan on site." Luo Zheng didn't ask further, quietly activated a signal jammer, causing all phones in the car to lose signal. Calls couldn't come in or go out; even Mountain Eagle sitting in the front seat was unaware, not because of mistrust, but due to lack of time to explain.
The convoy entered the main road and followed the planned route. Suddenly, Luo Zheng, at the end of the convoy, sharply turned the steering wheel, leaving the convoy, taking another route. Liu Qingqing asked in surprise, "What's happening?"
"What?" Luo Zheng counter-questioned, catching a doubtful glance from Mountain Eagle, he winked secretly, Mountain Eagle nodded in understanding and didn't ask further.
"Nothing much." Liu Qingqing replied with a smile.
Luo Zheng also smiled, glanced through the rearview mirror, and noticed Liu Qingqing pulling out her phone from her pocket but didn't reveal it. He locked the car doors and focused on driving. Liu Qingqing checked her phone and realized there was no signal, she then reacted, saying awkwardly, "It seems my little trick didn't escape your eyes."
"You're smart, but lack experience." Luo Zheng said with a smile.
"Then why do you still bring me to the banquet?" Liu Qingqing calmed down from her panic, and asked.
Mountain Eagle looked confusedly at Luo Zheng, then turned to Mrs. Liu and her daughter sitting in the back, his face becoming serious, "What exactly do you two want? Do you enjoy putting everyone's lives in danger?"
"No, I don't want to harm, it's come to this, let me be frank, I just want a chance to get my mother out of your sight, the farther the better. Although she's done something wrong to my father, she's still my mother, I don't want her to be lonely for the rest of her life." Liu Qingqing suddenly said emotionally.
Luo Zheng was startled and immediately understood everything, saying, "No wonder you didn't want to attend the birthday party initially but changed your mind. Was it Tang Tian who made a promise to you? She would choose to act halfway, take your mom, and send her abroad. The condition was that you must bring me to the birthday party, right?"
"How do you know?" Liu Qingqing asked in shock. After all, she was a teenage girl with limited experience, despite being smart, she was tricked into revealing the truth by Luo Zheng's words.
"I just want to know one thing, aren't you afraid that Tang Tian might harm us?" Luo Zheng asked coldly.
"No, I understand her, and I have no other choice. For my mom, I could only take this risk. I asked you before, you weren't willing to let my mom leave privately, so I had to resort to this last tactic. But Tiantian promised me she wouldn't kill anyone, she just wanted to talk to you." Liu Qingqing hurriedly explained.
"Talk? Stir such a big commotion just to talk?" Luo Zheng sneered, with a tone of frustration, asking, "Do you know what would happen if your mom fell into her hands? If it caused the death of our people, how would I explain to them?"
"This?" Liu Qingqing's emotions swayed.
"It's come to this point; there's no room for maneuver. Tell me, where will she act? Let's illustrate with facts, consider it a lesson about life. Though the cost is high, if you grow up because of this, it might not be a bad thing. If you really want to join our team, you should understand one thing: in our world, there's only one type of person you can trust, those are the brothers you have fought life and death alongside." Luo Zheng said coldly.
Mountain Eagle listened, he unconsciously puffed up his chest and said coldly, "On the battlefield, there are only two kinds of people: the enemy and your own. Can you determine if Tang Tian is your 'own'? If not, then she's the enemy, at least a 'suspected enemy.' Trusting your life to someone you can't define is foolish."
"Me?" Liu Qingqing became flustered.
"Don't blame her, she means well for me. I forced her to do this, blame me instead. There's still time to return." Mrs. Liu hurriedly explained, looking sad.
"Where will they act?" Luo Zheng continued to ask, not slowing the car.
"At the second intersection on Peace Avenue, they will set up a red light. The light duration is one and a half minutes. A motorcycle will come by then, park beside the car, my mom will suddenly exit and leave on the motorcycle, I stay in the car to tell the truth and persuade you to continue to the birthday party." Liu Qingqing hurriedly said.
Luo Zheng quickly turned off the signal jammer; urgent inquiries from Snow Leopard, mixed with questions from Lan Xue and Hong Meihua came through the earpiece. Luo Zheng quickly spoke into the earpiece: "Convoy proceed, plan unchanged. At the second intersection on Peace Avenue, red light signals will control. Upon spotting the motorcycle approaching the target car, quickly subdue the motorcyclist, bring back to the villa for interrogation, others swiftly proceed to the destination."
"Ah?" Everyone who heard the command was shocked, unclear about the situation, feeling puzzled.
Luo Zheng didn't explain much, and continued speaking into the earpiece: "Monitor the destination, Tang Tian is the mastermind, but don't alert her."
"Understood." Upon hearing, everyone reacted immediately.
The convoy continued forward, shortly after, Snow Leopard's angry shout came through the earpiece: "Damn it, the motorcyclist didn't stop but quietly placed a bomb under the car. If you hadn't warned us in time, we wouldn't have noticed. Fortunately, discovered early, people in the car are evacuated. The bomb was thrown into a roadside sewer by Zhongnanhai guards in the car, luckily there was a sewer, no innocent people were harmed."
Luo Zheng was taken aback, abruptly pulled the car over, turned to look at Liu Qingqing, his gaze became cold, making Liu Qingqing shiver involuntarily, feeling the surrounding air chill a few degrees, breathing became difficult, she asked in surprise, "What happened?"
"You saved four lives." Luo Zheng said coldly.
Liu Qingqing was stunned, instantly realized, her face turned pale, said in panic, "That's impossible, she promised me, three years of friendship, I thought she was trustworthy."
"You're still too young; some things aren't resolved by trust alone." Luo Zheng saw Liu Qingqing on the verge of collapse, didn't want to hurt her more, sighed inwardly, started the car, and continued to the destination. The opponent was ruthless, and couldn't be let off, face stern, sharp gaze became cold again.
