Chapter 50

Yue Zhi publicly announced his engagement to Qing Li, not only Qing Li was surprised, but also other people including Xiji and Liang Jin, but no one said anything, Qing Li herself also felt that apart from the relationship with Yue Zhi further, there was no difference.

So on the eve of her twenty-first birthday at the end of September, Yue Zhi explained an important mission, by the West pole is responsible for, the West pole to participate in the mission when the selection of team members, asked her “want to participate in” when she asked back, “Why not?”

Xiji joked, “You have a different status now, after all, you are the boss’s wife, this mission is still a bit dangerous.”

“This is my job, I will take it seriously.” Qing Li said.

Xiji looked to Yue Zhi who was at the side, “Is it okay?”

Yue Zhi smiled and touched Qing Li’s head, “Well, let her participate, this is Ah Li’s job.”

So after Qing Li was injured on her last mission to Malacca, she finally went abroad again to do a mission, this time the target was still in the Philippines, she had already been to Manila once.

Yue Zhi also told her the inside story of the mission before she left, this time the character still has to clean up the mess for his father, Li Chaoke.

Li Chaoke is the president of his party, he has a director of the political office who suddenly resigned and left the country, taking away several very important information about the future of the party, so Yue Zhi sent someone to find that person, and then bring the person and the information back.

The task was not difficult, but Qing Li did not understand why Yue Zhi had to listen to Li Chaoke, obviously the other party was the one who had targeted him several times.

“Ah Li, you will understand in the future, right now, I can’t help myself.” Yue Zhi said.

Qing Li’s eyes became compassionate after being slightly surprised, “It turns out that Mister isn’t completely free either, I understand this feeling.” She touched Yue Zhi’s head like Yue Zhi usually did to her, only her movements were slightly clumsy.

Yue Zhi wrapped his arms around her waist, burying his face in her soft stomach and rubbing it, and said frankly, “No one is truly free, I have leverage in his hands, until I confirm the location of that thing to bring it back and gather enough physical evidence to bring him down, Li Chaoke and I can only hold each other down like this.”

“I’ll do whatever sir asks of me, I’ll help sir so that he can be truly free.” Qing Li ruffled his hair and said, obviously such a gentle and soft person, his hair was unexpectedly hard.

Yue Zhi raised his head and looked at her from the bottom up, “Well, I know, as long as I have you here I am at ease, tomorrow’s mission as well, don’t work too hard, your own safety is most important.”

Qing Li thought for a moment, “I’m the same as Xingota, Menggema and the others, when doing a mission you need to put in your full effort, and the situation of the mission changes rapidly, I can only guarantee that no matter what I will definitely come back alive.”

Yue Zhi looked at her serious little face and snorted a laugh, “That’s also true, too much worrying is rather easy to lose sight of the other side of the equation, full commitment is the only way to control the whole situation, I said the wrong thing.”

“Never mind.” Qingli kissed his forehead, “I know you are because you are worried about me.”

“I have a surprise for you when you come back, it’s a gift for your twenty-first birthday.” Yue Zhi tugged downwards, pulling Qing Li to sit in his arms, “Your twentieth birthday is exactly before the test, at that time I hadn’t found out your exact date of birth yet, it happens to be about the same time as you came to me, three years, this time we’ll call everyone from the base to celebrate.”

“Good.” Qing Li couldn’t help but look forward to Yue Zhi’s surprise.

The next morning, Xiji led two squads of twelve people to arrive in Manila on Yue Zhi’s special airplane leaving Singapore.

This was because the political director that Li Chaoke wanted to deal with had fled to Manila and sought refuge from a larger local black . The other party was an armed force with weapons, so the danger factor and risk of their mission had immediately increased, for Yue Zhi, a mercenary group whose individual combat ability could be unique in the special forces, deploying twelve people was already quite a large scale.

That black. Gang’s compound was in the vicinity of Manila’s harbor, they gathered in a hotel three kilometers away to discuss their tactics, Singota had already gotten hold of a satellite map, “Other than this small three-story brick structure building in the middle, basically all the surrounding areas are shanty towns, gang members and the poor live mixed together, it’s hard to completely differentiate the two.”

“The gang’s boss must be living in the small building in the middle, that political director too, he brought a few million dollars in cash with him when he came here, as well as money from an overseas account, it’s an astronomical amount of money for this gang, the boss can’t get the money from that account, so he must value him more than his life, and bolts wherever he goes.” Sigi said as he looked at the map on the tablet.

“The shantytown is too chaotic, it’s better to infiltrate the battle, get what we want and then make a quick exit before the disorder grows.” Montgomery added.

Aonashi belonged to the Singhota squad, responsible for providing information support and communication security, she didn’t know much about such things as tactics yet, seeing herself as a mindless bullet or a sharp blade, following orders and accomplishing tasks.

“Green Pear, you, along with Thomas and Blackie, dress up as locals and scout around the small building first, it would be best to confirm if the gang leader and the political director are in the small building, if they move outside, the plan will have to change.” Xiji quickly settled on a battle plan and said to the three people of Qingli.

The three quickly changed into cheap t-shirts and pants, stepped into old plastic slippers, and blended into the shantytown surrounding the small building, and to hide it, Green Pear even put dark foundation on all exposed skin.

Thomas and Blackie had no such worries, and with a change of clothes, disheveled and unkempt, there was no difference between them and the locals.

Manila’s slums were the largest in the world, with millions of people crammed into the small, dirty places where people appeared and disappeared every day, so their infiltration hadn’t attracted anyone’s attention.

Aonashi’s hair was cascading down, covering the headphones on her ears as she observed the situation around her while approaching the small building in the center, noticing that the closer she got to the building, the more men with weapons there were.

The men were even casually wearing their guns on their backs and then propped up on their feet in the fly infested shed eating mushy food of no discernible raw material.

The locals all knew that they were gangsters, and looked at them with some fear but more bewilderment, even if the gangsters placed their guns casually in front of them, they didn’t have the guts or the idea to sneak in and take them.

Yue Zhi had told Qing Li before that the Philippines was the country with the highest number of gun crimes and deaths due to guns in the world, and there were countless gangs of all sizes here that undertook all illegal and lucrative operations.

In a country where per capita spending is only a few dollars, a hit man can be hired for as little as a few hundred dollars.

Where money is extremely scarce, life is incredibly cheap.

Every day in the slums there are thefts, robberies and even rapes . Rape, but no one can actually stand up to solve these problems, the people here are desperate and numb, joining a gang and working for someone else is the only option they have to survive, becoming a killer for a gang and killing a stranger with no expression has become second nature to these people.

At this point, Green Pear was ashamed of herself.

Moreover, the guns here were all jaw-droppingly cheap; in the old days, a 45 caliber pistol would legally cost almost ninety thousand pesos, or about fifteen hundred dollars, and now they were even able to be bought for five thousand pesos, or eighty-five dollars.

Although the Philippine government has introduced a series of policies to strictly control guns, which has achieved some results and crime rates have dropped, the poverty situation has not changed and there are still people who are desperate.

“Aren’t there too many guns here too.” Qing Li got closer and closer to the small building, and already saw dozens of people with guns, the number was simply terrifying.

“These guns are basically black . Market criminals illegally modified, a toy gun, some bicycle parts, two sizes of screws, a hacksaw and adhesive can be modified to create a real ignition device, the materials are simple and easy to obtain, and the process is far less complicated than imagined, no knowledge or diploma is required.”

Singota’s voice came over the headset, answering her question.

“You should already be able to see the small building from your current position.” Singota said as he stared at the red dot of the green pear on the screen.

“Well, I can see it, there’s a wire fence outside, guarded at intervals of about twenty meters, at a distance from each other where they can confirm their status.” Aonashi said, “I’m afraid it’s difficult to sneak in silently, kill one and you’ll be discovered quickly.”

“Well, Thomas reported two dozen guards on the perimeter, but no problem, I can take care of it with the drones.” Singota said.

“That’s reliable, no shit Singoita.” Aonashi said as she stepped out of the alleyway, five or six meters in front of her was a guard with a modified □□□, looking at her warily.

The AK series of guns had high recoil and poor accuracy, but they were superior in terms of firepower, cheap, and low difficulty in getting started, so they were also the most heavily flooded guns in the world, and many low-level mercenary . Soldier organizations and illegal armies are equipped with these guns.

“What are you doing, you’re not allowed to come over here, hurry up!” The guard raised his gun to warn Qing Li.

Aonashi couldn’t speak English with a Filipino accent, a single mouthful would have immediately exposed her, but she had already thought of a countermeasure in order to accomplish her mission.

She took down the hand that had been pressed on her chest, revealing that she had been torn out of her T-shirt, and half of her pure white underwear inside was revealed, “Sorry, I was robbed, and I got lost chasing after him and got here.”

Sure enough the man’s eyes went straight as he looked at this beauty, immediately relaxing his guard.

“I saw the man seemingly run into this, can you let me go in and look for him?” Qing Li continued.

The man waved his hand, his attitude was much better, “Impossible, there is an important person inside here, you can’t go in and out as you please for the past two days, it’s impossible for someone to go in.”

Getting the desired information, Qing Li smiled and nodded, “Then maybe I’ve lost the chase.”

After saying that, she turned around and walked away, ignoring the few shouts from the man behind her.

Qing Li tied a random knot in the torn shirt on her chest and reported the situation to Xiji, “The small buildings are all under martial law lately, they can’t go in and out as they please, the gang leader and the political director must be inside.”

“It’s pretty much the same as what we predicted, the small building is their command center, staying here is the safest.” Xiji said, “You guys come back and gather first, pay attention to tracking and don’t bring a tail.”

“Understood.”

Qing Li returned to the hotel after bending around the narrow alleyways of the shantytown a few times to make sure that the other party didn’t get suspicious and no one was following them.

“Hey..! Long time no see!” She had just walked into the elevator when a person suddenly ran in and tapped her on the shoulder.

Qing Li looked up to see a pretty familiar face, “Yu Hemei?”

Yu Hemei was also surprised, “Yes, it’s me, I didn’t expect to see you again, you went to Africa, darkened like this, I didn’t even dare to recognize you just now.”

Qing Li didn’t say anything, the mission was important, she couldn’t get involved with unrelated people, “Do you live here too?”

Yu Hemei waved her hand, “I went to the western restaurant over the hall to eat, I happened to see you, I recognized you at once with this figure.”

Qing Li nodded, with a resolute face, she reached out and pushed Yu Hemi out of the elevator, “I still have important things to do, I’ll be in touch later.”

Yu Hemi watched dumbfounded as the elevator doors closed, standing in place for a moment before leaving.

“Ah Li, how is the situation?” Qing Li went back to her room to change her clothes when Yue Zhi called.

Qing Li then briefly talked about the situation of this afternoon’s mission, not realizing that Yue Zhi’s tone became dangerous, “You didn’t use any of that □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ that.”

Qing Li thought about it, □□ should be to wear very little to sit in each other’s arms and make physical contact, right, this should not count for her, so she simply denied it, “No, it was a very normal routine.”

“That’s good.” Yue Qi’s tone became softer again, “Come back early, I’ve missed you.”
