Chapter 958 - Persuasion!
That time in the northeast, Zhang Lei had blocked the bullets for Ji Feng, but he almost died. If the bullets had been a bit more accurate, Zhang Lei would have died there.
That incident had given Ji Feng a deep lesson that he would definitely remember for the rest of his life. Hence, before this operation, Ji Feng repeatedly reminded Zhang Lei and the rest that they had to be careful of their own safety.
Nothing else mattered as long as the person was safe. Nothing else mattered as compared to the person.
Zhang Lei nodded and said, ”Don't worry. I'll definitely pay attention.”
However, Ji Feng shook his head and said: ”Just being careful is not enough. We must put safety first. The success of this operation is secondary, the most important thing is to protect yourself!”
After repeatedly admonis.h.i.+ng Zhang Lei and the others, Ji Feng was relieved when he saw that Zhang Lei and the others had already listened to his instructions. What he feared the most was that the moment Zhang Lei took over the command, he would be too impulsive. If he were to do so, it would be easy for him to be injured. This wasn't what Ji Feng wanted to see.
If the remnants of the cheetah mercenary group were to be exchanged for any of Zhang Lei's group, Ji Feng wouldn't be willing to do so. Even if all the members of the cheetah mercenary group ran away, as long as Zhang Lei and the rest were safe, there wouldn't be a problem.
After instructing them, Ji Feng clapped his hands and said, ”Alright, then we'll continue to make preparations. Once the route has been decided, we'll check the weapons again. I won't waste any more time. We'll just act with caution.”
Because Ji Feng did not know the exact location of the salon, he could not determine the route right now. Thus, he could only decide on a plan of action, such as how to move, who would be in charge of the main attack, who would be in charge of the cover, how to solve the problem of the vehicles, and so on.
Leaving Zhang Lei and the rest to discuss, Ji Feng contacted Old Zhou and inquired about the details. Soon, a detailed plan of action was slowly formed.
Old Zhou very quickly sent over the detailed address for the Salon, and at Ji Feng's request, Old Zhou provided them with a car. Ji Feng and the others drove around the hosting area for a few rounds, determining the route of the operation as well as the route of retreat.
Then they waited for the salon to open.
The next day at noon, Ji Yu called again, but her voice sounded a little hesitant: ”Ji Feng, you don't need to come to the salon this time, do you?”
Ji Feng asked with a smile, ”What's wrong? Didn't we say it earlier? Why don't you need me to go now? ”
However, he'd realized in his heart that some unforeseen event might have occurred.
Ji Yu said, ”Actually, I thought about it and felt that it's not really appropriate. ”This business salon is actually just an exchange activity. Furthermore, there are even political dignitaries present. It is very boring. You will definitely feel uncomfortable coming here, so it is best that you do not come here.”
In truth, Ji Yu didn't feel confident.
When Ji Lihai suddenly asked her to invite Ji Feng, she already felt that it was a bit strange. Thus, she carefully investigated, wanting to find out Ji Feng's motive. She first started with the list of people attending the meeting. Other than the fact that one of the dignitaries was extremely hostile towards the mainland, she did not find anything else amiss.
However, the only person on the list who had anything to do with Ji Feng was the leader - that person had been jumping up and down, making public statements against the mainland more than once. Ji Yu also discovered that the cheetah mercenary group was very close to the leader.
This made Ji Yu a little worried. He didn't know if there would be any unexpected changes in the future.
Although this had nothing to do with Ji Lihai, Ji Yu had noticed something wrong with him, so she called Ji Feng and told him not to attend.
As for why Ji Lihai suddenly invited Ji Feng, Ji Yu hadn't figured it out yet. In order to find out, she even directly called Ji Lihai and asked. She didn't hide her distrust towards Ji Lihai at all.
However, Ji Lihai didn't say anything else apart from lowering his face and reprimanding her. Ji Yu angrily hung up the phone.
Thinking and thinking, she felt that something was wrong. Ji Yu didn't want Ji Feng to come. She didn't want Ji Feng to take the risk because of her invitation.
Although Ji Feng did not know about Ji Yu's series of mental activities, nor the process of her investigation, he could hear the hesitation in her words. However, to Ji Feng, it was necessary to personally go to the salon.
It was a good opportunity to take care of all the remnants of the cheetah mercenary group. Otherwise, it would be difficult for those guys to find an opportunity when they were with the political official.
Ji Feng did not have much time to waste here. Once the Alpha Ore was s.h.i.+pped back, he would immediately return to refine and develop the laser gun, so he had to seize this opportunity.
Although Ji Feng was puzzled by Ji Lihai's sudden invitation, it would not become a reason to stop him.
”Yu, you don't have to be so polite, I'll be there on time tomorrow.” Ji Feng laughed as if he did not hear the meaning behind Ji Yu's words, ”I also want to take this opportunity to gain more knowledge. I have never partic.i.p.ated in such events before! Furthermore, since you want to use me as a s.h.i.+eld, then I will definitely fulfill my duty! ”
”But …”
