Strongest Soldier King

This unexpected clue made Luo Zheng wary, and he immediately said to Lan Xing: "Inform Hong Meihua to have someone keep an eye on Shanghai. I suspect that members of the Reincarnation Killer Organization will take the sea route and land in Shanghai. The Beijing International Airport has already failed once, so they wouldn't choose this route again without reason."

"Taking the sea route? Landing in Shanghai?" Ghost Hand's face changed drastically.

"Inform the National Security Headquarters to have their Shanghai branch keep a close watch on the port. Also, notify the Military Department to increase maritime patrols and checks by the Shanghai Guard Command, aiming to block the Reincarnation Killer Organization at sea. Notify us immediately if there's any news," Luo Zheng quickly reminded.

"Yes." Seeing Luo Zheng's seriousness about this situation, Lan Xing didn't dare to be careless and promptly relayed the orders to the relevant departments without any delay.

After delivering the order, Luo Zheng felt slightly more at ease and said to Ghost Hand, "Let's go and see Li Chengfeng."

The two of them went to the room, where Li Chengfeng remained as usual, bound to a chair with his hands and feet cuffed. Upon seeing Luo Zheng enter, Li Chengfeng forced a smile and said, "Are you here to ask about the Evergreen clue?"

"Yes, I need a bit more detail," replied Luo Zheng.

"It was mentioned casually by Shijing Teng during a conversation with our captain, and I was present at the time. He said that if things go south, they could find refuge at the Evergreen Martial Arts Hall in Shanghai since it's their turf. Our captain agreed offhandedly without asking more, and no one expected you to have already checked out the Sanhe Martial Arts Hall. After the exchange of fire, there was even less energy to delve into the Evergreen issue," Li Chengfeng quickly explained.

"Oh?" Luo Zheng didn't expect the coincidence and thus inquired, "Besides your captain, you, and another woman, are there any other Sam Country agents?"

"Each team from the Strategic Intelligence Bureau consists of three people—a captain, one man, and one woman. It's standard; no more, no less," Li Chengfeng explained.

"That's an interesting setup. Are there any other teams in Beijing?" Luo Zheng continued to inquire.

"That, I don't know. Only the captain is entitled to that information. I don't have the clearance," Li Chengfeng responded.

Luo Zheng thought for a moment and continued asking, "How much do you know about the Reincarnation Killer Organization?"

"I've heard the name, but not the details," Li Chengfeng quickly replied.

Seeing that Li Chengfeng didn't know much, Luo Zheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there anything else you need to tell me?" Li Chengfeng thought for a while and shook his head. Luo Zheng continued, "Let me know if you think of anything," exchanging a glance with Ghost Hand before walking outside.

Once outside, they sat down on the sofa. Luo Zheng made himself a cup of tea to refresh himself while pondering. His intuition told him that the Evergreen base in Shanghai was no simple matter, but without any leads, he could only wait, opting to lie down and continue sleeping. The last shot to the heart wasn't fatal but resulted in excessive blood loss, leaving him weak and in desperate need of rest to recover.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but in a drowsy state, Luo Zheng felt someone pushing him. He opened his eyes in surprise, seeing Lan Xing with an excited expression. "What are you so happy about? Did you win something?" he asked in surprise.

"Yeah, a windfall, but it's you who won," Lan Xing replied with joy.

"What nonsense is this? What's going on?" Luo Zheng inquired in surprise.

"You guessed right; suspicious individuals indeed attempted to infiltrate Shanghai via the sea route on a Japanese international cargo ship. When the coast guard boarded for inspection, they found three crew members acting suspiciously. When questioned, the crew suddenly turned violent, injuring people. Fortunately, we were prepared, but still, one person was killed and another injured before the three suspects were shot dead by the coast guard," Lan Xing enthusiastically explained.

"So it really was a hit. Whose ship was it? Have the identities of the three suspects been verified?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise.

"I knew you'd ask that. The three suspects have been verified as members of the Reincarnation Killer Organization, confirmed by our agents nicknamed the 'Alcoholics'. The ship belongs to the Shijing family, frequently transporting electronic materials between the two countries. The three suspects were wearing silicone masks, with Eastern faces, but their speech was awkward, like Westerners, which raised suspicion," Lan Xing promptly explained.

"As suspected, they took the sea route and were indeed connected to the Japanese. The Shijing family has immense power, and it's not difficult for them to sneak a couple of people in. Without prior alertness, they might have passed unnoticed. Who knows how many have already infiltrated Shanghai," Luo Zheng pondered aloud.

"Do you have an idea?" Lan Xing asked in surprise.

"By the way, can the Alcoholics make it here?" Luo Zheng asked in return.

"They're in Sam Country chasing a few Reincarnation Killers; they can't come," Lan Xing quickly answered.

"Arrange for me to go secretly to Shanghai immediately. I need a silicone mask and a sniper rifle. Also, notify Niu Gang and Shi Tao to infiltrate Shanghai secretly and gather at the nearest hotel to Evergreen. Book a room for me on the top floor facing the direction of Evergreen. Check if there's a hotel available right away," Luo Zheng ordered seriously.

"Yes." Lan Xing agreed promptly, sensing a wave of killing intent.

"I'll accompany you," Ghost Hand whispered.

"I'm just going for on-site observation and command. Let Shi Tao and Niu Gang handle the fighting. Your arm's injured, so take care of it. Afraid there won't be battles to fight in the future?" Luo Zheng understood Ghost Hand's eagerness and smiled, advising him.

"No worries, I'll just take a look," Ghost Hand insisted.

"We also need manpower here, so you should stay and work with Brother Mountain Eagle. Interrogate the other captives thoroughly; you might find unexpected gains. Also, both of you help interrogate Shijing Teng, focusing on the internal workings of the Death God Killer Organization Headquarters. We might need it someday." Ghost Hand saw that Luo Zheng insisted on not taking him along and, not persisting further, offered, "Okay, but be careful."

"Don't worry, I feel this mission is nearing its end. Taking down the Reincarnation Killers and disrupting their plans to rebuild a branch, it's time for us to wrap things up. I certainly look forward to a month-long vacation. Think carefully about where to relax. Best to bring family along, and let me know when I get back," Luo Zheng said with reassurance.

"There's nothing more to say—vacation on an island, beaches, beauties, bikinis," Ghost Hand laughed.

"Count me in too," Lan Xing laughed while quickly typing on the keyboard.

"Sure, wear a bikini for us to see," Ghost Hand joked.

"Are you crazy?" Lan Xing glared at Ghost Hand unhappily.

They all exchanged smiles, easing the tense atmosphere before the big fight. Luo Zheng clenched his fists and quietly pondered the next steps. How could they completely wipe out the Reincarnation Killer Organization? The enemy didn't know the Evergreen base had been exposed, so could this be used to their advantage?
