No matter who dies, he won't die.
Chapter 415: The Deal Failed
"Why are you back again?"
Xu Bowen had just taken down two mercenaries when he turned around and saw He Qinzhou had actually run back. He was so angry that he glared at him, "Didn't I tell you to protect Academician Ning's safety? If you leave, who will protect her?"
"Uncle, don't be so fierce with me. I'm here to find that Smith. I'll bring him along too, so I can protect him as well and also look after him."
"care?"
Xu Bowen frowned slightly, puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions. He simply told He Qinzhou the license plate number of the car Smith was in.
With bullets entering the arena, the mercenaries faced a much tougher challenge against the Dragon Kingdom warriors.
At this moment, most of them were suppressed by the fierce attack of the Dragon Kingdom. If it weren't for the concern that close combat would cause unnecessary casualties, annihilating them would have been even faster!
He Qinzhou weaved through the convoy and finally spotted Smith in a Volvo sedan, where he was huddled in the back seat, clutching a briefcase and trembling with fear.
"Mr. Smith, I'm sorry."
He Qinzhou didn't give him a friendly look at all. Without even opening the car door, he smashed the car window with his elbow and dragged him out of the car...
Then, like carrying a dead dog, he quickly ran back with him.
As she passed by Xu Bowen, she even had the leisure to wave to him.
Xu Bowen rolled his eyes in annoyance, but the appreciation and approval in his eyes still pleased He Qinzhou.
That Smith needs to be taught a lesson!
Xu Bowen is a high-ranking official in the Dragon Kingdom war zone, so it is inconvenient for him to take action.
But He Qinzhou had no such concerns!
Back near his car, He Qinzhou simply tossed Smith to the ground without letting him get in.
He hadn't noticed it until he was about to get in the car, when he finally smelled a strong stench emanating from Smith...
This guy was so scared he peed his pants!
Just outrageous!
"Mr. Smith."
Ning Qing covered her nose with her hand, her face full of disgust, and asked knowingly, "Why do you smell so bad?"
"Maybe I accidentally let him get tainted by the filth of those idiots when I brought him over? Sigh, it's all my fault for not being able to see clearly, I can't even tell the difference between a person and an idiot."
He Qinzhou, standing to the side, dejectedly added a comment.
Smith felt a burning sensation all over his body as he listened to these words.
He knew perfectly well that these two were making fun of him!
He wanted to argue, but... he couldn't!
"Gentlemen, please stop talking."
Smith sighed. "I've seen you around Xu before. You must be high-ranking officials from the Chinese military region, right?"
"No." He Qinzhou shook his head, knowing that Smith was trying to set a trap for them and get revenge. He sneered and said, "I am He Qinzhou, the chairman of the He Group. You must know the He family, right?"
"You're He Qinzhou from the He family?!"
Smith had clearly heard of the He family and knew him, and immediately showed a surprised expression. "Chairman He, I thought you were older?"
People who are innocent and straightforward tend to look younger.
He Qinzhou shrugged and then pointed to Ning Qing to introduce her to him: "As for this one, she is my secretary and driver."
Ning Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she didn't refute it.
It would be best if Long Ke's identity as an academician of the Academy of Sciences were not exposed at this time!
“I see…” Smith nodded thoughtfully.
At that moment, Xu Bowen's voice came through the walkie-talkie in the driver's cab.
"Attention all units, proceed with caution when cleaning up the battlefield!"
"Everyone, be on your guard! If you see anyone still alive, remember to finish them off... no! Even if they're already dead, give them two more shots!"
"Finished?"
Smith swallowed hard, still shaken. He had also heard Xu Bowen's voice, and his eyes were filled with hope as he looked at He Qinzhou.
"……should be."
He Qinzhou nodded and turned to look at the battlefield in the distance.
There, the air was thick with the smoke of gunpowder.
This is the price of arrogance!
"Then let's hurry up and leave? We can't stay here any longer..."
Smith looked terrified. "I don't want to stay here anymore! Take me to the trading place right now, so I can finish the transaction and get back quickly!!"
"No hurries?"
He Qinzhou's eyes were filled with disdain. "Weren't you very arrogant just now? Because of your arrogance, not only did your Ruipu Company's guards perish, but even our Dragon Kingdom's soldiers were lost... You think you can just walk away like this? Dream on!"
"I...I will make it up to them!"
"Compensation? Do you think we care about your paltry sum? Or are you willing to pay with your life? Can you even afford it?"
"I……"
Smith looked grim.
Speechless after being bombarded with questions from He Qinzhou, Smith wanted to retort, but couldn't find a point to make...
He couldn't understand He Qinzhou's logic at all.
They were just ordinary soldiers; if they died, we'd just pay compensation. What was so precious about them?
Isn't the mission of soldiers in the war zone to die on the battlefield?
Ignoring Smith's thoughts, He Qinzhou opened the car door and asked, "Do you have the chip?"
"Ah? Here!"
Smith jumped up, wanting to get in the car too, but He Qinzhou kicked him back down: "Wait here quietly, someone will come to pick you up."
He didn't want the filth from that piece of trash to soil his car.
The back seat of the car—that's his battlefield!
"what?"
Smith was completely stunned by the kick. He collapsed to the ground, asking incredulously, "Can't I come with you? Do I still have to ride in those cars?"
"if not?"
He Qinzhou rolled his eyes at him again, closed the back door of the car again, then sat in the passenger seat, picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Uncle Xu, this is He Qinzhou. We are 200 meters behind the battlefield. Please send a car over immediately."
The next moment, Xu Bowen's voice came over.
"Ok!"
Soon, the war zone jeeps that had been responsible for covering the rear drove back.
The soldiers got out of the vehicle one after another, looking at He Qinzhou in the passenger seat with admiration.
He Qinzhou seemed oblivious to these emotions, and directly ordered his soldiers to put Smith in the car, then led them back to rejoin the convoy.
It was only at this moment that Smith realized...
Everyone at Ruipu Company is really dead!
Not only that, but more than a dozen of the Dragon Kingdom's warriors also died in battle!
"and many more!!"
Looking at the corpses, Smith suddenly yelled, then impatiently got out of the car and weaved through the bodies of the Ripp Corporation guards, finally squatting down next to a burly white man and rummaging through his backpack...
After a long while, he slumped to the ground, his face dejected: "Gone? Gone? How could it be gone?"
"What's missing?"
He Qinzhou had a bad feeling.
Could the chip be on that white man?
But this scene wasn't in the script!
Chapter 416: Ning Qing Wants to Be Stuffed to Death
"The combination lock, the combination lock on the handbag... it's gone!"
Smith looked very grim.
For the sake of transaction security, and also to guard against fraud by the Dragon Kingdom, the box containing the chip was actually separate from the password to open it.
Smith was in charge of protecting the box, while the other person was responsible for providing the combination...
But now...
The box containing the chips was still in his arms, but the combination lock was gone!
Without the password, there's no way to get the chip out!
Forcing it open is impossible; that would only trigger the self-destruct program of the chip inside...
"Fuck you, why didn't you say so sooner?"
He Qinzhou gritted his teeth in anger.
After all this hard work, is it all going to end in failure?
"The combination lock was most likely taken by the people of the Temple of Heaven."
Xu Bowen's expression was equally unpleasant.
The way he stared at Smith was like he wanted to devour him...
"Weren't they all wiped out? Some of them escaped?"
"Yes, quite a few escaped..."
Xu Bowen looked at the corpses of the white mercenaries, his eyes cold. "Pass down the order: raise the alert level in the war zone to level two, launch a full-scale manhunt for foreign mercenaries, and have the comrades from the Legal Network cooperate. We must bring all these fugitives to justice before they leave the country!"
"Yes!!" the soldiers responded in unison.
"Qinzhou, the transaction is not yet complete, so I'm temporarily entrusting Academician Ning's safety to you."
Xu Bowen first said something to He Qinzhou, and then turned to Ning Qing: "Academician Ning, you'll have to make do for a while. Stay with He Qinzhou for now. Once we find the combination lock and complete the transaction, we'll send you back to Longke Academy!"
"I……"
Ning Qing glanced at He Qinzhou and nodded, saying, "Okay, everything is up to Commander Xu."
"Alright, then you guys should leave now."
Xu Bowen waved his hand and urged, "It's not safe here right now. Let me have someone take you back first."
"No need, Uncle Xu, you go ahead with your work."
He Qinzhou immediately reached out and carried Ning Qing to the passenger seat, then got into the driver's seat and started the car. But instead of leaving, he suddenly beckoned to Xu Bowen, calling him over, and then lowered his voice to say, "Uncle, can you help me ask the Alliance Leader for someone?"
Xu Bowen's eyes flashed, and he stared at him intently with a wary gaze. "Who do you want?"
"I want Suzaku!"
He Qinzhou had actually been considering asking the war zone for the Vermilion Bird for a long time!
Suzaku excels at intelligence work and also possesses the strength of a divine general.
Most importantly... she's also a beauty!
Putting such a stunning beauty in prison is a complete waste of her talent!
Now that Luo Xuewei's belly is getting bigger and bigger, Lin Wan'er can't handle everything by herself, and he needs a capable wife...
Suzaku is simply the perfect choice!
The only problem is the war criminal label attached to her.
