441 Trouble Descends from Above (1/2)
The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, was often mistakenly called the Bermuda Delta. It was a triangular area of water which was best known for rumors of supernatural phenomena and violations of physical laws.
Rumors had it that many of the passing ships, planes, and people would go ”mysteriously missing” due to the extremely abnormal environment there. However, it had been confirmed that the Bermuda Triangle was not a dangerous area. The mystery surrounding it was nothing more than misunderstandings, misinformation, and exaggeration of the disappearances that occurred there. It was not as arcane as many thought.
Of course, this was the official statement issued by the scientific community. However, the crux of the matter was that if Hong Dali really had an accident there, the US authorities would be able to explain it easily, and it would be easy to deny responsibility of the matter…
”Haha, good idea. You sure have a way!” Salon gave Itra's shoulder a hard pat and said, ”We'll do just that!”
”Since there's nothing else,” Itra immediately stood up. ”I will go back first.”
”Okay, hehe. I will arrange people to tamper with the two aircraft carriers.”
…
Chenhui Building, in the Photon Force Laboratory on the fourth floor.
”Dali, how is the research on the voice control system coming along?” Seated in Chuyin's laboratory with Hong Dali, the Bureau Chief smiled and said, ”I have already reported it to my superiors. The two aircraft carriers are currently being processed for handover. However, we told Merika that they were for our country's use. I dared not mention your name, for fear that they would be afraid to sell. Of course, this is just superficial. I expect they will be able to guess the truth.”
”I knew that Uncle Chief is the most reliable one!” Hong Dali smiled cheerfully. ”We'll just have them transferred to my name when all the formalities have been completed, hehe.”
”Hahaha, you sneaky little brat.” the Bureau Chief laughed heartily. ”I have already helped with this matter. You should have almost finished doing what you want to? Go with me to the underground cave on the outskirts of Tianjing Mountain?”
”Got it! No problem!” Having heard the Uncle Chief say that it was time to go explore the mysterious underground cave, Hong Dali quickly nodded. ”I have completed the monitoring device!” As he said that, Hong Dali took a while rummaging through a pile of equipment like Lin Chuyin before finally finding what he was looking for. ”Uncle Chief, look at this, do you think this is a suitable size?”
The Bureau Chief sweated as he watched. ”Can't you get someone to arrange the stuff neatly?”
Hong Dali shrugged helplessly. ”I can't help it. Chuyin is used to it. Once she has completed a project and tested it to be working, she will throw it aside rather than arrange it neatly. To be honest, it's lucky that I am able to find the thing we want. You should not ask for too much…”
”Okay.” The Bureau Chief looked around. ”Shall we have our people set off now? What about your little fiancée? Why don't I see her?”
”You mean Xinxin?” Hong Dali sniffled. ”She's dancing in the house. Hatsune Tianyi's concert, which will be held simultaneously all over the country, will be held soon. Our Xinxin has to choreograph Luo Tianyi's dance routine. By the way, Xinxin's dancing is not bad. I have seen her dancing. The way she looks when she is dancing… Yes, yes, nice!”
Damn you! You're a moron who's uninterested in women.
The Bureau Chief barely suppressed the urge to kill him. ”There are so many beautiful girls around you, have you not thought about it?”
”I'm only eighteen, and there is still a lot of time to have fun.” Hong Dali answered matter-of-factly. ”How can I give up a carefree life for a tree!”
The Minister: ”…” Just one tree? That's several trees!
Forget it. Talking to this blockhead about women is like playing the piano for the cow—totally pointless!
”Ah, let's go, let's go. I'll gather everyone now!” Hong Dali stood up and stretched. ”Lackeys, get Xinxin and everyone else here. We're going to Tianjing Mountain to explore the caves! Haha! Oh right, ask Little Mo Mo to come along too. He's very good at controlling the plane. I can't do it.”
The Bureau Chief nodded to himself as he listened. Being able to utilize everyone's best ability, that was Hong Dali's real secret to success. Luck was, of course, important, but it was not everything. Take the basketball game played a few days ago, for example. If it were someone else, they could not have won!
A group of people quickly gathered when they heard that they were going to Tianjing Mountain.
Hong Dali carried Quentin and Tang Muxin carried Little Meow. Little Wang Mo clutched the remote control excitedly while Ling Xiaoyi held the remote control plane. The remaining eight big lackeys carried the monitor screen. With Lin Chuyin, who was holding on to a corner of Hong Dali's shirt, and the Minister, who looked imposing in a black-grey windbreaker, the group made a grand exit. Followed by a group of guards in plainclothes, the procession made a sight more majestic than the heavens.
In the distance, a man hiding in the shadow of a building looked coldly at Hong Dali's impressive entourage. He held a mobile phone with an encryption device attached in his hand and wore a bluetooth earpiece in his ear. He whispered, ”The target is getting ready to go out. Judging from the direction, they should be headed for Fengyuan Lake. Based on the target's habits, they should be going to Tianjing Mountain.”
The man's eyes were fierce and his gaze cold. He was a member of Tarō Gohon's Ninja Legion.
The voice of Tarō Gohon from Toyoda Conglomerate said from the other end of the line, ”Watch them closely. By the way, has the Sand Eagle made any move?”
”The latest news is that the Sand Eagle has sent out the Blood Demon, aka Red Spade J, who is ranked fourth in the world's S-class killers—he has arrived in Tianjing. However, we are unsure of his location now.” The man said slowly, ”Boss, shall we act now, or should we wait for news of the Blood Demon?”
