Chapter 444 Bringing People Home
Cheng Feng found it somewhat amusing and immediately took out a sofa from the imaginary space.
He pulled her to sit on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and then asked the tactical squad in front of him:
"Soldiers, tell me the mission your former superiors gave you."
"Sir, our mission is to attempt to kill you. If successful, we must return with your body."
If we fail, we will use our lives to start a war between you and the rabbit.
The white man, codenamed Mako Shark, answered crisply and clearly, explaining the mission in detail.
Cheng Feng and Yang Xueli were both somewhat surprised. Cheng Feng understood the previous mission: to kill him and take the body back for research.
The latter one is a bit far-fetched. Why would anyone assume that Cheng Feng would go up against the rabbit?
"Tell me, what methods will you use to ensure that the rabbit is blamed for this?"
The mako shark's answer made Cheng Feng realize what a top-notch strategist was.
It turns out that each member of this team had a tracking chip implanted in their body.
This chip was purchased from the Beacon by a certain Third Reich six years ago.
During the transaction, the chip was lost due to an attack by an unknown group of people.
This group was actually run by people within the Lighthouse organization, because the chip was not originally within the scope of trade.
But the benefits offered by the Third Reich were too great, so they were "forced" to resort to double-crossing.
In addition, by turning the tables on the country, the dominant power at the time quickly disintegrated and was divided up by various armed forces.
If Cheng Feng uses his power to track down this place, then he will have truly fallen into a trap.
Ultimately, this batch of chips ended up in China's hands due to a clandestine deal between two major rogue states.
They are probably being frantically replicated in some laboratory right now.
Of course, this is just a general direction. In the strategist's plan, Cheng Feng will encounter many people while investigating the truth.
Among them were naive fools who didn't know the truth, as well as spies of the highest caliber.
The steps are all interconnected, ensuring that Cheng Feng's attention is diverted to the rabbit.
"Goodness, luckily I'm cheating, otherwise if I had followed the clues step by step, I could have easily been completely outmaneuvered."
Cheng Feng couldn't help but sigh.
Yang Xueli deeply sympathized; these people were truly terrifying, and she was starting to panic.
"Old Cheng, I don't think Wenjin and Xiaoling are safe there. Why don't we end our trip and go bring them back?"
This is just a target from an external force.
If local forces also intervene, Xiaoling and Chen Wenjin's side could very well suffer a setback.
"Don't worry, as long as we're not certain of a fatal blow, their safety and that of the Unloading Ridge faction will be guaranteed."
After all these years, my personality has probably been thoroughly studied and understood by many people.
They wouldn't do anything foolish.
Compared to foreigners who know very little about him, people in China are extremely familiar with him.
It is precisely because of this familiarity that they will not do something so irrational.
After calming down the uneasy Yang Xueli, Cheng Feng looked at the tactical squad in front of him. After thinking for a moment, Cheng Feng decided not to kill them.
Instead, they had them remove the chips from their bodies and then gave them a final mission.
Cheng Feng named this mission 'The Collapse of the Lighthouse'.
After all, it's only polite to reciprocate. What consequences these six people will ultimately cause depends on the fate of the Lighthouse.
After watching the six people leave, supporting each other, Cheng Feng folded up the sofa, took Yang Xueli's hand, and said:
"Let's go to Leicheng, take care of things here, and then go to Tamtuo to take away the ruins of the Western Queen Mother's Kingdom."
The acquisition of Leicheng and Tamutuo did not take much time. As the sun began to set, Cheng Feng appeared at the Huo family residence.
Cheng Feng used Huo Ling as his reference point, so when he came out, he happened to run into Huo Xiangu, Huo Ling, and Huo Xiuxiu, the three generations of the Huo family, having dinner.
Upon seeing Cheng Feng emerge from the void, the usually composed and dignified Huo Xiangu was only shocked for a moment before regaining her composure.
Huo Xiuxiu was startled and jumped up from her chair, almost overturning the table.
"Master, you've come!"
Huo Ling happily greeted Cheng Feng and gave him a big hug.
Cheng Feng patted Huo Ling on the back and responded softly:
"Well, I think it's about time, so I've come to pick you up and take you home."
Upon hearing this, Huo Ling released her grip on Cheng Feng's hand and then pulled him to the dining table.
Cheng Feng greeted Huo Xiangu, who nodded and invited him to sit down.
Huo Xiuxiu quickly offered her chair to Cheng Feng, and then happily brought over another chair for herself.
Huo Xiangu first thanked Cheng Feng, saying that it was thanks to Cheng Feng that her husband was able to regain his footing after the previous arson case.
The Huo family also benefited greatly from this.
After exchanging pleasantries, the conversation got down to business.
Xiaoling told Chengfeng about Huo Xiangu's decision: only she and her mother would leave together from the entire Huo family.
"Isn't Xiaoling's father coming along?"
Since it concerned Xiaoling's biological father, Cheng Feng made an exception and asked one more question.
Huo Xiangu sighed softly:
“He has his own choices, and I can’t force him. Besides, with him around, Xiuxiu has someone to look after her.”
Then, Huo Xiangu gave an explanation.
Xiaoling's father now holds a high position; he cannot relinquish his power, nor does he want to leave this land.
On the other hand, Huo Xiangu today is completely different from ordinary people.
Thanks to the flesh of the ancient god, after that final journey, she was able to live for a very long time, and her physical functions were even stronger than those of a strong man.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's half-inhuman.
It was precisely because of these differences that Huo Xiangu decided to leave the Huo family. For the family, someone like her was more of a blessing than a curse.
Once Cheng Feng, this powerful weapon, leaves, there will always be people on the verge of death eyeing her.
After dinner, Cheng Feng didn't rush to leave but stayed at the Huo family's house for the night, giving Huo Xiangu some time.
The next day, Cheng Feng met his father-in-law for the first time at the dinner table.
My father-in-law had short, jet-black hair, which was clearly dyed. He had many wrinkles on his face and was hunched over.
Cheng Feng could tell that he had many hidden injuries, which must have been left from the disaster he suffered back then.
The cowshed is a grueling place; many people leave with deep, incurable wounds.
Before leaving, Cheng Feng's father-in-law told him that some people wanted to befriend him through him.
The main purpose was to reassure Cheng Feng, and he was also advised to be more discreet and not cause panic among the people.
After thinking for a moment, Cheng Feng left a message:
“Five days from now is the anniversary, and I plan to go to the martyrs’ cemetery to pay my respects. If they have time, they can come and meet me.”
Then, under Huo Xiuxiu's tearful gaze, Cheng Feng led Huo Xiangu and Huo Ling into the imaginary space.
