Strongest Soldier King

Half a container of explosives was found on the freighter. According to Niu Gang's interrogation results, if all these explosives were deployed in Shanghai, the entire city would be paralyzed, the economy would regress more than ten years, and the whole country would be affected. This isn't just a terrorist attack—it's practically an act of war. Thinking of this, Luo Zheng's expression grew even more severe, his eyes sharp as he stared at Niu Gang.

Niu Gang, normally a bold and arrogant character, couldn't withstand Luo Zheng's aura and quickly replied, "Those two men just came over with the ship, skilled in demolition, responsible for guiding bomb installations. The woman is responsible for pick-ups, knowing little. As for the bandits on the freighter, they don't know the specific identities either, only that they are Japanese, speaking Japanese, not under their control."

"Japanese?" Luo Zheng was shocked, thought for a while, and somewhat understood. Only the Japanese would react so desperately and choose to detonate the bomb at the last moment, sinking the ship with everyone on it. Ordinary bandits wouldn't have such determination and courage; it must be regular military, a suicide squad type.

Thinking of this, Luo Zheng couldn't help getting angry and said, "Nine out of ten people on that freighter are likely regular Japanese military. Only regular military would act this recklessly, fearing exposure of their identities. Foreign soldiers entering our country can be considered an invasion, an act of provoking war between two countries. They absolutely dare not be captured alive by us—such ruthless tactics."

"Hiss? If that's true, the Japanese still harbor ambitions to destroy our country. These beasts, too bad they were all killed," Niu Gang said bitterly.

"We unintentionally uncovered the Japanese's shocking plan. The Japanese used the Reincarnation Killer Organization to commit sabotage, being able to completely shift the responsibility if something happened, while the Reincarnation Killer Organization wants to establish its status in the assassin world and seek revenge against us. Both sides have what they want, almost causing us a huge disaster," Luo Zheng said, still shaken.

"Brother-in-law, should you immediately tell my grandfather about this analysis?" Lan Xing's voice came through the earpiece.

"Yes." Luo Zheng knew the matter was of great importance, agreed immediately, thought for a moment, and asked, "How's the operation at the Evergreen Martial Arts Hall?"

"The Armed Police and SWAT have been dispatched, expected to arrive at the destination in ten minutes. The police have secretly entered the perimeter, ready to evacuate the crowd at any time," Lan Xing quickly replied.

"Very good, tell them to cut off the power and signal to the martial arts hall before any action, be careful of any remote-controlled bombs," Luo Zheng urgently instructed.

"Understood." Lan Xing agreed promptly.

Tong Haisheng ran over to ask about the next steps. Luo Zheng, concerned about the situation at the martial arts hall, instructed the coast guard ship to accelerate. After about twenty minutes, Lan Xing's urgent voice came through the earpiece, "Something's gone wrong at the martial arts hall."

"What happened?" Luo Zheng was shocked, his expression turning stern, and he asked loudly, startling Niu Gang and Tong Haisheng, who both looked over in surprise.

"The martial arts hall master installed a bomb detonator on his pulse, claiming there are bombs all around, enough to blow up the entire building, and is demanding negotiations," Lan Xing quickly explained.

"Pulse detonator?" Luo Zheng was alarmed and asked.

"Yes, it's connected to his heartbeat. Once the heartbeat stops, the detonator will trigger the bombs, so the SWAT teams can't execute a sniper attack. They're currently negotiating a standoff. The other party demands entry into the consulate for asylum, the situation is tense, what should we do?" Lan Xing quickly explained.

"Tell the on-site commanding personnel to keep him calm, say that I'm on my way to handle the situation. The enemy is eager to kill me, they will definitely agree. Also, secretly evacuate the surrounding crowd and police force. Remember the Sanhe Martial Arts Hall? If they could blow up the Sanhe Martial Arts Hall, they could blow up the Evergreen Martial Arts Hall. We've found a big load of explosives here, there may already be explosives in Shanghai, so we must believe there are bombs at the martial arts hall," Luo Zheng hurriedly instructed.

"Understood." Lan Xing hurriedly agreed.

"Are you going personally to handle this?" a concerned voice sounded in the earpiece, it was Lan Xue.

"Yes, someone has to go, and undoubtedly, I am the ideal choice. They want my life, so I can stabilize them. At least the other side won't detonate the bombs before I reach the site," Luo Zheng said helplessly.

"It's too dangerous, maybe they set up this trap just to wait for you," Lan Xue quickly said, full of concern and anxiety.

"That's entirely possible, which is why I must go, because I have no choice," Luo Zheng said, with some determination and firmness.

As the head of the task force, Luo Zheng has no choice. As a soldier, Luo Zheng has even less choice. Seeing Lan Xue wanting to say something more, Luo Zheng interrupted, "It's time to settle things with them. You're right, maybe they do want me there, to perish together with me. If I don't go, if the bomb is detonated, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"But the other side is using a pulse detonator, it's impossible to stop," Lan Xue said anxiously.

"I know, don't worry, have you forgotten I'm a man of fortune?" Luo Zheng reassured with a bitter smile. Though he had no confidence, he didn't want Lan Xue to worry, so he feigned a cheerful tone and continued, "Relax, I won't die."

"You're always so stubborn," Lan Xue complained with concern, knowing in her heart that Luo Zheng was indeed the most suitable person. As a soldier, Luo Zheng absolutely has no choice, and must step forward when the country and people need him. Isn't this exactly what she likes about him? Thinking of this, Lan Xue bitterly advised, "Be careful."

"Don't worry, I know what to do," Luo Zheng fully agreed, his words carrying some heroic spirit, masking his inner helplessness and bitterness to prevent Lan Xue from worrying, as he looked at Tong Haisheng and said, "An accident has occurred, the situation is urgent, arrange for a helicopter to come pick me up, be quick."

"Ah? Okay." Tong Haisheng, though unaware of the specifics, knew something big had happened and immediately agreed, using the walkie-talkie to call headquarters to send a helicopter over.

Soon, a transport helicopter roared over, hovering above the coast guard ship, lowering a soft ladder. Luo Zheng instructed Niu Gang, "Take the captives back to the hotel for detention, absolutely no mistakes." Without waiting for Niu Gang to respond, Luo Zheng grabbed the soft ladder and climbed up, quickly entering the cabin.

"Chief, where to?" the pilot shouted loudly.

"To the Evergreen Martial Arts Hall," Luo Zheng replied loudly, with a touch of cold killing intent.

The pilot nodded in agreement and controlled the helicopter to roar away. Luo Zheng sat in the helicopter, looking down at the bustling city of Shanghai below, secretly resolved—that he would never allow the enemy's plot to succeed, and never allow the tragedy of Sanhe Martial Arts Hall to happen again.

"At all costs, the big explosion must be stopped," Luo Zheng internally vowed, with a sharp and determined look in his eyes, clenching his fist.
