Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the next two days, big changes happened to the personnel around Hong Dali.
First, the Bureau Chief had returned to the mainland via helicopter in the night. He headed straight to Shanghai to make arrangements. Then, Christina and Levis took up positions as Hong Dali’s personal bodyguards. For others, it was usually a skilled man acting as a bodyguard for a beautiful woman. But in Hong Dali’s case, the beautiful woman was the bodyguard. It was a whole different level, one had no choice but to accept it.
Next, the Zerg Queen Zhang Yi became Hong Dali’s loyal follower, for the sake of Hong Dali’s snacks.
Zhang Yi was a super-skilled person against whom Tyrant Levis had only a forty percent chance of winning. In the end, she was bought over by just a few Dali beans...
Hong Dali’s escort lineup was now unprecedentedly powerful. There were nine lackeys who were 100% loyal and had all their attributes at the maximum possible for ordinary humans, as well as Levis, Christina, and Zerg Queen Zhang Yi. If anyone wanted to get close to Hong Dali now, they would need an army.
The engineering team led by Li Yuanshou had also started transporting all kinds of building materials to the aircraft carrier. As the school was to be built on the sea, Li Yuanshou and a team of engineers went through the plans carefully and decided that since the school was going to be built mainly with steel, the front would be covered with solar panels built with the latest technology. They would be able to convert sunlight into stored electricity and also prevent the building from heating up due to the sun’s rays. Otherwise, with the hot sun beating down on the steel structure, the temperature inside would be hot enough to cook an egg.
The mechanical arm Running Dog had already duplicated ten of itself. They were of all shapes and appearances. Despite the varied appearance, their functions were complete and identical. It was impossible to see any difference in the exterior of the sci-fi carrier Second Fish. However, all sorts of materials were transported into it. Nobody knew what it would look like when it was completed.
...
Shanghai Tianhai, in Shiroishi Kazuma’s secret apartment.
Qian Guangzhao and Qian Youjin sat on the sofa. Qian Guangzhao smiled and asked, “Mr. Shiroishi, according to the latest news, Hong Dali has entered the Yellow Sea, about two hundred kilometers away from our mainland. It’s within a very safe range. When should we take action?”
“Entered the Yellow Sea? Within two hundred kilometers?” Shiroishi Kazuma rubbed his chin. “Give me the map. Let me take a look.”
Qian Youjin quickly retrieved the map and laid it out on the table.
Shiroishi Kazuma looked at it carefully through a magnifying glass and asked, “What’s his approximate location now?”
“It’s not too far from Han City in Korea.” Qian Guangzhao pointed out Hong Dali’s approximate position on the map. “They have headed south and should reach the Ryukyu Islands soon. The islands are near the Pacific Ocean and far away from their country. Their mobile signals should also be greatly affected. This is what it means when people say distant water cannot put out a local fire.”
“Right, so that’s how it is...” Shiroishi Kazuma nodded with satisfaction and said, “The Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting will commence in two days. Remember, act cleanly and swiftly, do not hesitate! As long as we incapacitate Hong Weiguo’s Sangle, Hong Dali’s source of funds will be gone and he will not be able to make any splashes!”
“Okay, I got it. In that case, I will get going and start preparing!”
...
Shanghai, Tianhai Military District Headquarters.
The Bureau Chief headed straight for the large conference room on the level nine of the Tianhai Military District Headquarters once he got off the plane from Hong Dali’s aircraft carrier. At that time, more than 30 people were waiting there. All of them were high-ranking people in the Tianhai Military District. Some of them were urgently called over from Tianjing.
All this was for the plan they were about to implement!
“Since everyone is here, let’s make a long story short.” The Bureau Chief headed straight to the podium of the big conference room and took the microphone. He said slowly, “The Resource Chamber of Commerce meeting is due to commence soon, and our plan will be put into action soon as well. The implications of this plan are huge and will impact our country greatly. Here, I am going to give everyone detailed instructions.”
The entire conference room was silent. Everyone was waiting for the Bureau Chief’s final instructions.
“It’s only one month between the initial proposal to the actual plan being implemented now.” The Bureau Chief glanced at the materials in his hand before continuing slowly, “In this plan, every step is of the utmost importance. I believe everyone understands this.”
Even after he said that, someone still felt uneasy. He asked, “Bureau Chief, I feel that this plan is not reliable. Will it really work? This is the Heavenly State’s biggest operation since its inception. The amount of human, material, and monetary resources involved are astronomical. All of that for the prodigal Hong Dali? Is it worth it?”
“To tell you the truth, I have no idea.” The Bureau Chief sighed after hearing the man’s question. “The boss is very determined. He wants to take the gamble, just once. If it works, our Heavenly State’s position in the world will be on par with Merika and Europe. If it fails...” He looked at everyone present and said in a grave voice, “We will lose more than fifty billion.”
Fifty billion, that was definitely not a small amount! Even if the Heavenly State had ample land and resources, fifty billion yuan was not to be wasted casually. The problem was that the head of the Heavenly State had already spoken, so they could only try their best to get everything done.
“Well, since the boss has spoken,” Everyone looked at each other. “All we can do is to get it done no matter what. Just do everything to the best of our ability. As for the rest... believe in the boss’ judgment!”
“Since no one has any questions, I will continue.” The Bureau Chief gestured for everyone to quiet down. When everyone had stopped talking, the Bureau Chief said, “The first step of this operation is the most important. It must be done just right, not too much and not too lightly. In short, it must be very real. Nothing must be fake. Hong Weiguo must not find out that something is going on.”
Someone below asked, “Bureau Chief, Hong Weiguo is at the helm of the Hong Family and has exceptional instincts. Will he really not realize if we go against him secretly?”
“Not in the near future.” The Bureau Chief was very sure about this. “Our relationship with the Hong Family is pretty good now. Even if he realizes something is amiss, it will just be a suspicion. He will not be able to confirm it. But everyone must remember not to block all your exits. You must leave a way out. Otherwise, if anything happens, we will be the ones feeling the brunt of it. Does everyone understand?”
Everyone immediately shouted, “Understood!”
“Okay! In that case, I will make detailed arrangements.” With the report in hand, the Bureau Chief said, “At the Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting, first impeach, then encircle. Right now, Sangle Search makes up the bulk of Hong Weiguo’s business. People from the Resource Chamber of Commerce will help with that. What we need to do is to make sure all news about it is blocked and sealed. The Tianhai Military District will be responsible for all required personnel. Remember, it’s imperative that you isolate journalists from curious onlookers. News of everything that happens after Hong Weiguo is impeached must be kept strictly offline. Do you hear me?”
“We hear you!”
“This is a very big operation and everyone must make sure any possibilities of anything going wrong must be immediately isolated.” The Bureau Chief said in a serious tone, “Especially news. Absolutely no leakage is allowed. Everyone should know what will happen otherwise. You should all understand that it’s not something that can be resolved with money.”
When the Bureau Chief mentioned that, everyone immediately shuddered involuntarily.
Many people started whispering to each other. “I always felt that we are dancing on the tip of knife blades. God bless for no accidents. Otherwise, that brat Hong Dali will turn our Heavenly State upside down.” “That’s true. Whenever I think of him and the Angel of Misfortune working together... shudder!” “My hair has turned white over the past few days because of this. I hope nothing unexpected happens.”
“Okay, everyone, calm down first. Next, I will give instructions for what comes after.” The Bureau Chief coughed twice and said, “After the impeachment of Hong Weiguo and the encirclement comes the assassination of Hong Weiguo and Lan Ruoxi. This part will be carried out by professionals, but it’s also where things are most likely to go wrong. Do not make any mistakes! I don’t think I have to elaborate on what happens otherwise. Everyone should already know.”
“We understand, we understand all too well!” Everyone sighed. Many took out paper and pen and started writing. Others saw and asked curiously, “Brother, what are you writing?”
“Will.” Those writing replied.
“I know that this is putting a lot of pressure on everyone.” The Bureau Chief shook his head helplessly. He said slowly, “To be honest, I don’t have much confidence, either. Accidents happen too easily in this world. The most worrisome is the assassination. The balance is delicate and hard to control. Once they fail, the consequences are dire. Fortunately, my luck is good and we managed to find some suitable candidates for the job. You don’t have to worry too much.”
Although he told everyone not to worry too much, it was hard to guess what they were actually feeling.
More people started writing their wills.
“Well, that’s all the instructions I have for you now. Everyone should take a special note regarding safety. Be careful!” The Bureau Chief said gravely, “The news, especially, must be under strict control. There must be no leaks whatsoever. Any leaks might trigger unimaginable variables.”
Although they still felt uneasy, everyone present agreed loudly. “Understood! We will complete the mission!”
...
Tianjing City, Tianjing Military District Headquarters Building, large conference room.
“Okay, I have finished speaking.” An Yangxu slammed his fist on the table viciously. “Damn, do you have any questions? I will peel the skin off anyone who screws up!”
“We will complete the mission!”
...
Two days later, the Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting, which was full of scheming plans, begun...
