Chapter 189: Inside Story

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Lin Xiaocao knew that going to the United States alone would cause the higher-ups of the Guott squadron to have doubts. It might also make them feel guilty, and they might even have great doubts about their chances of completing the mission.

But in his eyes, all of this was nothing.

The first advisor to the Guott squadron was Lieutenant General Yang Wuwei, who knew who he was and was closer to the king. As for the head of the Empire's secret service system, Wang Tianxiong, who was guarding the Divine Continent, was also his senior brother. For sensitive matters like the cross-border missions of the Empire's S-class and above special service personnel, even if they left the country's special squadron, they would at least have to apply to the Divine Continent Guardian for permission from the Empire's guardian, Wang Tianxiong, and the Divine Continent Guardian's upper echelons.

Whether it was Yang Wuwei or Wang Tianxiong, they both knew of his strength. In the secret service system, Wang Tianxiong was the organization. Since the organization knew of his ability, the doubts of others would not have any effect.

Therefore, no matter what, he didn't expect that someone would actually come under such circumstances.

You want credit? You want to go crazy?

Since when had it been someone else's turn to interfere in his own mission?

The woman who came to pick up Lin Xiaocao was also a little flustered. Facing Lin Xiaocao's sudden change in expression, her delicate little face turned completely red. She stammered, "Chief, I, I also received an order from the higher ups that the empire had temporarily decided to send a few more elites to cooperate with your mission. I..."

Lin Xiaocao narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a while. Suddenly, he smiled and said in a gentle voice, "What's your name?"

"I... My name is Li Si. I'm the deputy chief of the three liaison sections of the Empire's Overseas Intelligence Division II."

The woman was stunned for a moment before she subconsciously replied softly.

"En, Li Si, who are you here this time? Do you know them all?"

Lin Xiaocao saw that the other party only had a pick-up token in his hand. As for the second batch of people, needless to say, Li Si definitely knew them.

"Yes, it's Colonel Zhao Yunjie, vice captain of the Butterfly Secret Service of the Empire. I heard that he has a good relationship with Captain Helian. Our minister is Captain Helian Chen Xi's biological aunt, so Butterfly directly sent someone over after I heard that the minister had an accident."

Li Si said slowly, Most of this is true, However, she inevitably brought along her own subjective views. For example, Helian Chenxi and Vice Captain Zhao Yunjie's relationship. In her opinion, Zhao Yunjie had been Vice Captain Butterfly for six years, and Helian Chenxi would send him to such a sensitive matter this time. He naturally had a good relationship and trusted Zhao Yunjie very much.

Li Si followed her mouth and said, but she never thought of the consequences of her words.

"Zhao Yunjie?"

Lin Xiaocao's strange expression flashed. After Helian Chenxi became his woman, He knew all the members of the Butterfly Team. He had naturally heard about the vice captain's bitter love for the captain and Zhao Yunjie's irritability these past few days. The cause of that incident had a lot to do with the gale. He didn't know how the vice captain of the Butterfly Team had treated his instructor.

Moreover, it was strange to send a colonel to cooperate with the lieutenant colonel in carrying out his mission.

Zhao Yunjie, Zhao Yunjie...

Lin Xiaocao's eyes flickered as he pulled out his phone from Li Si's nervous gaze and dialed a number.

In Li Si's eyes, such a move was undoubtedly a sign that the leader was dissatisfied with other people stealing his credit and started to get involved. This was an extremely immature expression.

Moreover, how could he complete this mission alone?

The Overseas Intelligence Department was not the Combat Department. They could help Lin Xiaocao without exposing themselves. However, it was impossible for them to assassinate him. They were the dark chess players that the Empire had been ambushing in the United States for a long time. They could not be abandoned just because of a single mission. Even if they were exposed, they could not do so.

Now that he had been exposed, those who were alive naturally had to return home. Lin Xiaocao could only be alone here. In such a situation, at least in Li Si's eyes, it was a good thing that the empire was sending a group of people to help him.

Looking at Lin Xiaocao quietly waiting for the call to be answered, Li Si hesitated for a moment, but did not say anything. She wanted to advise this seemingly young and somewhat disgraceful leader, but she was afraid that the other party would think too much. She thought that she was questioning his ability. In the secret service, ability was always a taboo, and any doubt was the most direct provocation.

Then Li Si was shocked.

The reason for that was because the leader beside him, who seemed to be in a bad mood, said, "I'm looking for Wang Tianxiong," the first thing he said after picking up the phone.

Li Si's delicate body trembled.

Wang Tianxiong!

In the hearts of the Divine Continent Empire 's special agents, the guardians of the empire were gods!

When mentioning Wang Tianxiong, everyone would address him respectfully. At the very least, in Li Si's impression, none of the people he knew, including their minister, could address Wang Tianxiong directly by his name, and he was so confident.

Li Si only stared at the other party's expression, but only saw a calm. He seemed to be really waiting quietly, neither arrogant nor impetuous, calm and shocked.

The phone was quickly transferred over. No one asked Lin Xiaocao's identity carefully. If they could call President Wang's private office, they didn't need to ask in too much detail.

Wang Tianxiong's voice sounded on the other side of the phone, "Is it America?"

"What do you mean?"

Lin Xiaocao asked indifferently, very straightforward. There really wasn't much to be polite with Senior Brother.

"Old Yang and I both know your abilities, but some people have different opinions. Since you don't want others to know that you are Lin Xuanyuan, then you are no longer a signature. No matter how good your cooking skills are, you still have to pass the first test, right? "This is an opportunity. If it's done beautifully, no one will talk nonsense. But before that, people who don't know your abilities will naturally ask for the greatest confidence. It's not directed at you. Even I encountered this kind of situation back then."

Wang Tianxiong smiled. Lin Xiaocao was not Lin Xuanyuan. Although he had the strength of a war god, no one knew that it was reasonable to send some people over just in case.

"So you sent a colonel to assist me in my mission?"

Lin Xiaocao sneered and asked, "And don't tell me that you were different from me back then."

Indeed, it was different, and how could it be the same?

Wang Tianxiong was heaven-defying. Back then, he was only a young rookie with the status of Old Disciple Ye.

Who was Lin Xiaocao?

Battle God King, His Highness the Battle God. In the Dark World, including those old monsters, no one dared to prop them up in front of him. Even if he didn't have the Battle God's signboard, his strength was still there. How could he accept someone with a military rank higher than his to cooperate with him in completing his mission?

Who exactly was cooperating with who?

Wang Tianxiong smiled and didn't say anything.

"What exactly is going on?"

Lin Xiaocao frowned. Regardless of whether it was his tone or expression, Li Sijiao's body trembled from side to side.

Wang Tianxiong was a very ordinary name. The Divine Boat Empire didn't have tens of thousands or thousands of people. However, with Lin Xiaocao's current status, the Wang Tianxiong he was looking for could only be the most special one in the empire. Moreover, the President Wang didn't seem to mind him speaking in such a tone. This was the first time Li Si had seen such a fierce person.

Could it be President Wang's illegitimate son?

An idea suddenly popped up in Li Si's mind. Then, he felt that his idea was blaspheming President Wang's position in his heart. He hurriedly shook his head.

"Zhao Yunjie is Jiang Mingshi's nephew."

Wang Tianxiong was silent for a moment and whispered, "Kiss nephew."

Jiang Mingshi?

Lin Xiaocao was stunned. After a long while, he chuckled and said, "It was my negligence. A big fish. How can I catch it?"

Wang Tianxiong remained silent.

Lin Xiaocao seemed to know his attitude and nodded, "I understand."

Previously, when he looked at the information of the Butterfly team members, he had only roughly gathered it. There was no such name as Jiang Mingshi in the information. If Wang Tianxiong hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have known. It seemed that Zhao Yunjie had done a good job in keeping it a secret.

Jiang Mingshi was currently a member of the Imperial Policy Bureau, State Councilor, and Deputy Prime Minister of the Cabinet. He was ranked only below Chen Hualou, a member of the Imperial Policy Bureau Standing Committee and Deputy Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

In the next Policy Bureau Standing Committee, six members of the seven-member regiment had been directly locked down, and the remaining vice premier, Jiang Mingshi, was the most popular candidate and the strongest figure from the southwest faction.

Less than three months before the plenary.

During this sensitive period, Wang Tianxiong, knowing his temper, even appointed a person with a higher military rank than him, who might even harbor hostility towards him, to cooperate with him on the mission. What did this mean?

What he represented was self-evident, but the key was how he should deal with it.

Kill or not?

The secret service system had its own rules. If something happened to Jiang Mingshi's nephew in the United States, especially at the hands of his own people, Jiang Mingshi would definitely be enraged, but would he hold back after being enraged? Or was it just a random move to deal with him?

If it was the latter, then it would give the royal family a chance.

As for his identity as Lin Xiaocao, there might be risks, but it might not be fatal. Not to mention his identity as the War God King, even if he was Wang Tianxiong's junior apprentice-brother, nothing would happen. A Wang Tianxiong was much more important than Jiang Mingshi.

Most importantly, he was the supreme commander of this mission, and Zhao Yunjie was only here to cooperate.

How could he provoke Zhao Yunjie and give him a label of disobedience?

Disobey orders.

This was an absolute crime in the empire's secret service system.

Lin Xiaocao subconsciously rubbed his chin and said indifferently, "I can obey your arrangements. I hope that the colonel you sent over will listen to my commands. Otherwise, you know, I have a bad temper and am very irritable."

"Young man, how can you call him a young man without a temper?"

On the other end of the phone, Wang Tianxiong laughed.

Lin Xiaocao smiled and hung up the phone. They knew how to handle Zhao Yunjie's trip to the United States.
