Strongest Soldier King

Back at the Consulate, Lan Xue pulled Lan Xing into a bedroom. Luo Zheng knew they had a lot to talk about, as family feuds were no small matter. It wouldn't be appropriate for him to be there, so he made himself a cup of hot tea and began to ponder. The style of the hotel assassination and the incident in the Gambling City were completely different, which made Luo Zheng vaguely sense Song Tao's tactics. He couldn't help but tighten his grip on the teacup, his face becoming resolute.

The Song family had struck time and again, which enraged Luo Zheng. It seemed necessary to take more aggressive actions against the Song family. About an hour later, the Lan sisters emerged from the room, their eyes red from crying. Luo Zheng pretended not to notice and continued studying the map.

"Brother-in-law, my sister told me everything, thank you. What's the next move? You decide." Lan Xing sat beside Luo Zheng, speaking with a serious expression and a firm desire for revenge gleaming in her slightly reddened eyes.

Luo Zheng awkwardly glanced at Lan Xue. She used to call him future brother-in-law, but now she called him brother-in-law directly. This change in address made Luo Zheng a little uncomfortable. Seeing Lan Xue nod with a shy blush, Luo Zheng understood and said, "I suspect Song Tao is in the Gambling City. Try to find him, and if he's there, lock him down. Also, arrange to return to the Gambling City as soon as possible."

"Alright, I'll make sure that bastard Song Haitian sends his own child to the grave." Lan Xing said coldly, standing up and heading to the computer, her expression stern and her gaze icy.

Luo Zheng was startled, knowing Lan Xing was filled with hatred. It wasn't easy to persuade her otherwise. He looked at Lan Xue, who bitterly said, "I'll go find the Consul to arrange the itinerary." With that, she stood up and walked out.

Ten minutes later, Lan Xue returned and said they could return at any time. Luo Zheng nodded, looking at Lan Xing, who was staring frostily at the computer, her fingers dancing across the keyboard, her gaze cold and lips tightly pursed. Lan Xue went up to pat Lan Xing's shoulder, not knowing how to console her. After all, wasn't she also burning with anger inside?

After an hour, Lan Xing suddenly stood up and said to Luo Zheng, "Found him. That bastard has already bought a ticket to return to the country, using all fake IDs. No wonder we couldn't find him. It's a flight tomorrow night. It seems he's caught wind of something and plans to leave. What should we do?"

"Return to the country?" Luo Zheng looked at Lan Xue in surprise, starting to understand. The situation here must have been relayed back, and Song Tao knew he was on Palm Island, so he didn't bother staying in the Gambling City and decided to return home directly. He's so cunning. There's not enough time; it seems we'll have to wait until we're back home to deal with this. He looked at Lan Xue.

Lan Xue also realized time was short and said, "That bastard might be hard to deal with once he returns home. Do you have any plans? Should we head back immediately?"

"No, we won't return just yet." Luo Zheng said, deep in thought, a glint in his eyes. Seeing that the Lan sisters didn't quite understand, he explained, "The Song family holds a significant position at home, and dealing with them won't be easy. Hiding here and remotely directing the operations can help us avoid suspicion."

"Have you thought of a way?" Lan Xue asked excitedly.

"Not exactly a plan, just some ideas." Luo Zheng smiled. Seeing the sisters looking at him expectantly, he couldn't keep them in suspense and quickly said, "Everyone has weaknesses. What is Song Tao's? Lan Xing needs to answer that for me. Song Tao is the Song family's enforcer and is very cunning. If we eliminate Song Tao, it will be much easier to deal with the entire Song family in the future. We start with Song Tao."

"Alright, I'll investigate immediately." Lan Xing said with determination.

"You're right. The Song family has two main pillars: Song Haitian and Song Tao. Song Tao is the rising star. Taking him down is like breaking one of the Song family's pillars. It would be hard for the Song family not to collapse. Even though there's no evidence, we'll hold the grudge against the Song family. I'll call Grandpa right away." Lan Xue said.

Luo Zheng passed the phone recording to Lan Xing. Although the recorded messages from the target weren't much, they could still prove something. He let Lan Xing pass it on to Mr. Li. Once the recording was sent, Lan Xue called Mr. Li and explained the situation in detail, then listened carefully for a while.

After hanging up, Lan Xue said solemnly, "Grandpa said, the Song family could assassinate my mom without leaving traces. We should do it cleanly too, leaving no traces. If anything happens, don't be afraid; he'll help us hold the fort. You need to come up with a plan soon, and if you require Grandpa's assistance, he'll spare no effort."

"Understood, but it's best not to involve your Grandpa in this." Luo Zheng said.

Lan Xue nodded, and they began to wait. To deal with someone, the best way is to exploit their weaknesses. Lan Xing, understanding the gravity of the situation, meticulously sifted through various materials. About two hours later, she got up and said to the two of them, "I've found some things."

"Let's hear it." Luo Zheng asked eagerly.

"Three fake identities, a dozen properties, overseas bank accounts, is any of this useful?" Lan Xing quickly said.

"Song Tao is a businessman, not a civil servant; these things aren't problematic for him." Luo Zheng said.

"That's all I found. His life is very disciplined, methodical. He mostly stays home, and when he goes out, his movements are unpredictable, making it hard to track in a short time. Unless headquarters helps." Lan Xing said frustratedly, her voice cold, filled with endless fury.

"What about his family?" Luo Zheng asked.

"His wife is a teacher, very virtuous, with a regular schedule, a model wife of a prominent family in Beijing. The prominent families all acknowledge it. His son, Song Yang, is already dead." Lan Xing quickly replied.

"Then investigate his habits and routines, like when he goes out, what time he goes out, and where he goes. Is there a pattern in any of these activities?" Luo Zheng said angrily. "I refuse to believe he has no weaknesses."

"There's one thing. He goes to a private club every Monday and Friday at 7 p.m." Lan Xing answered.

"Great, contact Ghost Hand immediately and have him find some street thugs to help see if they can find out what he does at the private club each time, who he meets, and so on, but don't alert anyone." Luo Zheng quickly said, feeling an exciting opportunity in this lead.

Lan Xing quickly went to establish contact. After pondering for a moment, Lan Xue said, "Are you thinking of framing him?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on the actual situation. If he's truly clean and it's impossible to find a weakness, then we create one. If that still doesn't work, then we stage an accident. Without eliminating him, it won't be easy to topple the Song family. If the Song family doesn't fall, we won't feel secure fighting on the front lines in the future." Luo Zheng said sternly, a fighting spirit flickering in his eyes.

"Indeed, this bastard could stab us in the back any time." Lan Xue agreed. For the enemy who murdered her mother, if the law can't bring justice, Lan Xue didn't mind using any means for revenge.
