Because he didn't want to lose a talented person...
"Could it be, Mr. Zheng, the person you're talking about is Boss Ye?" Aixinjueluo Xiaolong said, somewhat incredulously.
"Indeed." Zheng Guang nodded with a smile. He knew Aixinjueluo Xiaolong wasn't convinced, so he took a photograph from his wallet and handed it back to Aixinjueluo Xiaolong, continuing, "Take a look at the eyes in this photo. Who do they resemble?"
Aixinjueluo Xiaolong took the photo with a sense of curiosity and started examining the people in it. There were more than ten people in the photograph, each holding some unknown weapon, exuding an impressive aura.
More than ten people were dressed in military outfits, the rugged aura of soldiers naturally emanating from the photograph.
Aixinjueluo Xiaolong fixed his gaze on the person in the center. Wasn't his expression and demeanor remarkably similar to Ye Hao sitting beside him? The more he looked, the more excited he became, because he saw the faces of people like Xue Zhaolong.
Though everyone wore a mask, the eyes beneath were genuine. Weren't those three precisely Xue Zhaolong, Lu Yunsong, and Zhuorong Town?
"You... Are you really God?" Aixinjueluo Xiaolong looked at Ye Hao with wide eyes, an expression of disbelief.
"Heh, my name is Ye Hao, and as for God, he's just someone from an opposing force whom I use to divert attention." Ye Hao casually remarked, accustomed to others' incredulous reactions to him being God, so he remained unfazed.
"I never expected the true God to be here! I really enjoy this kind of life too." Aixinjueluo Xiaolong expressed longingly.
"Although it's thrilling, it's extremely dangerous." Ye Hao smiled.
"I really envy you all." With those words, Aixinjueluo Xiaolong put the photo away and pretended to nap.
He was not an impatient person; he could suppress his inner thoughts, even if he longed to join the elite, he wouldn't show it eagerly.
He wanted to assess the character of the elite, to see if they were worth his effort. If they were, he wouldn't mind managing Ye Hao's affairs in Pakistan while attending university.
In fact, he'd already chosen the elite in his heart, for they could provide Mude General with thousands of advanced weapons, implying they had a large stockpile. If used correctly, it might bring a fortune.
Moreover, according to Ye Hao's words, Mude General supported him, so whatever the elite did in Karachi, Mude General would facilitate them.
That's what he valued, coupled with Ye Hao being the hero he idolized, amidst everything, his heart was swayed.
Seeing Aixinjueluo Xiaolong pretending to nap, Ye Hao wasn't in any rush. Aixinjueluo Xiaolong wanted to test the elite's character, and Ye Hao also wanted to assess Aixinjueluo Xiaolong's, as Ye Hao considered Pakistan a vital area for his future development, ensuring the person managing it must be of good character.
Zheng Guang was driving; he didn't ask Aixinjueluo Xiaolong to return the photo, directly driving Ye Hao and Aixinjueluo Xiaolong to the Suleiman Mountains.
...
Ye Hao had been in Pakistan for almost ten days now, and in a dense villa area in Yanjing, Huaxia, there was a luxurious villa.
A middle-aged man looked gloomily at the dozen or so elderly men with white hair before him.
"Useless, a bunch of useless people, you got nothing and were captured alive. You are a bunch of useless people." The middle-aged man's eyebrows were raised as he looked at the elderly men below, as if he wanted to devour them.
"Alliance Leader..."
"Useless, what is there to explain?" The middle-aged man coldly snorted at the white-haired elder who spoke.
"Standard Banner, it's fine, just consider it the loss of a Guardian. That Guardian wasn't even an internal member, so there's no need to worry about him revealing anything."
The middle-aged man was Nalan Zhengqi, the Alliance Leader of the Assassin Alliance. The person advising him was the Vice Alliance Leader Sha Po Lang, and the only person in the Assassin Alliance who dared to speak to Nalan Zhengqi this way was Sha Po Lang.
The Assassin Alliance, a force composed of high-end combat power, as long as there's money, will strike anyone, of course! Except for the few top leaders of a country, they can't act recklessly...
"Consider it lost? Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb wasted so much manpower for me, only to end up being captured in Qincheng Prison, and they demanded from us hundreds of tons of gold. Where am I supposed to get that gold from? Damn it." Nalan Zhengqi raised his eyebrows and roared loudly.
"What? Hundreds of tons of gold?" Everyone looked at Nalan Zhengqi in shock.
Even Sha Po Lang looked on in confusion, unaware of what exactly had happened, and he only knew that after Nalan Zhengqi rescued Gao Lun from the Gao Family, Gao Lun revealed the location of Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb, quickly becoming an elder of the Assassin Alliance. The person who tried to defend earlier was Gao Lun from the Gao Family.
"Standard Banner, what's going on? Where did hundreds of tons of gold come from?" Sha Po Lang asked.
"Gao Lun, are you secretly holding hundreds of tons of gold?" Nalan Zhengqi didn't explain anything; he was under pressure from someone, so he had to find those hundreds of tons of gold, even if they were fictitious, and compensate with the corresponding RMB.
Because that force was far stronger than theirs, if they couldn't do it, they risked being watched by those above, and they would uncover the various things they did that exceeded legal limits.
Upon exposure, they would definitely face scorn from major factions and possibly even be suppressed collaboratively.
So he must find a way to acquire those hundreds of tons of gold or compensate with at least 25 billion RMB.
"Alliance Leader, I'm innocent! I've been compliant ever since I joined the organization, staying at headquarters with my grandson Gao Zhong, never going anywhere, so how could I have possibly stolen hundreds of tons of gold? Even if I did, transporting such an amount would require many vehicles, and all the Guardians would undoubtedly have seen it!" Gao Lun nervously explained, having just joined the Assassin Alliance and ranked eighteenth among the elders, meaning he had no status among the elder council.
His status in the Assassin Alliance was entirely decorative, if he angered Nalan Zhengqi, Nalan Zhengqi could kill him without hesitation.
"That's right, Standard Banner. Gao Lun has always been compliant in the organization, so what's happened, would you mind explaining so that we can understand?" Sha Po Lang suggested.
"Humph!" Nalan Zhengqi snorted, then said, "Our Assassin Alliance has been under surveillance for a long time; even Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb is under someone else's control, and the Dragon Team is increasingly liking to meddle."
Gao Lun muttered in confusion, "Dragon Team?"
Those familiar with the Dragon Team all focused their gazes...(to be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian.com, recommend and vote for monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
