109: A storm is brewing

Wang Chen came out after showering, and Su Xi was already asleep.

He lay down gently and took her into his arms.

His mind began to calculate.

Tomorrow, he had to contact Rat and have him lead a team to take over that base.

And there were Dragon and the others, security needed to be tightened... Thinking about it, he also fell asleep.

At the same time, two kilometers outside the Green City Peach Blossom Spring villa area, in a high and remote spot, most of the villa area could be seen.

Two black off-road vehicles were parked by the roadside.

The doors opened, and eight people wearing black combat uniforms and masks got out of the cars one after another.

The masked man in the lead made a few gestures, and the other seven quickly dispersed, disappearing into the night.

He picked up military binoculars and looked at the brightly lit villa in the distance.

"Target location confirmed," he whispered into his headset. "Begin reconnaissance."

Responses came through the headset one by one.

"Ghost Hand in position. No abnormalities on the eastern wall."

Updates are not easy, remember to share 101kanshu.com

"Poison Fang in position. Good visibility in the western garden area."

"Shadow in position. Blind spots in the south gate's surveillance have been marked."

"Blood Blade in position. The vantage point on the northern back hill covers the entire villa."

"Bone Thorn in position. The underground garage entrance can be blocked."

"Hound in position. The outer patrol routes have been identified."

"Cold Crow in position. Communication jamming equipment is ready."

The masked man codenamed "Reaper" put down his binoculars.

"Very good. According to plan, observe the target's activity patterns first and find the best time to strike."

"Understood."

Like ghosts in the dark night, the eight people silently surrounded the villa.

The living room on the first floor of the villa.

Dragon and Tiger were chatting on the sofa.

Tiger was boasting about his glorious record of taking on five people single-handedly in Africa back in the day.

"You should have seen it. When those five mercenaries saw me charging at them, their faces turned pale..."

Dragon suddenly frowned and turned his head to look out the window.

"What's wrong?" Tiger asked.

"I feel... like someone is watching us," Dragon said.

Tiger also stopped smiling, walked to the window, and carefully pulled back the curtain to reveal a crack.

It was pitch black outside; nothing could be seen.

"Are you sure?" Tiger asked.

"Not sure," Dragon shook his head. "It's just an intuition."

But he trusted his intuition.

During those years in Africa, this intuition had saved him many times.

"That kid Xiao Yu, the look in his eyes when he left wasn't right," Dragon said in a low voice. "I'm worried he'll seek revenge."

Tiger's expression also became serious. "You mean... he'll send people?"

"Very likely." Dragon took out his phone. "Notify everyone to raise the alert level. Especially around the Boss and his family."

"Understood."

Tiger also started making calls.

The two were busy for over ten minutes, notifying everyone from the "Twelve Zodiac Signs" who was currently in the country.

Rabbit and Snake were responsible for protecting Du Ruoxi and the others, while Horse and Monkey were sent to secretly protect Su Yue's family.

Having done all this, Dragon and Tiger decided not to sleep tonight.

They would stay on guard in the living room.

7:00 AM the next morning.

Wang Chen came downstairs feeling refreshed.

Then he saw Dragon and Tiger sitting on the sofa with dark circles under their eyes and solemn expressions.

"You two... stayed up all night?" Wang Chen asked.

"Boss," Dragon stood up. "There's a situation."

He recounted his intuition and the arrangements from last night.

After listening, Wang Chen became thoughtful.

He had just acquired the Crisis Sensing skill, and Dragon had this intuition... it seemed it wasn't a coincidence.

"Your intuition is probably right," Wang Chen said. "A person like Xiao Yu wouldn't just let it go after suffering such a big loss."

"So what do we do now?" Tiger asked.

Wang Chen thought for a moment and smiled. "Since they want to come, let them come."

Dragon frowned. "Boss, you mean..."

"Let's be proactive," Wang Chen said. "I'm going out today, and you two will follow me. The others will provide secret protection. Let's see if anyone is actually tailing us."

"It's too dangerous!" Dragon objected. "If the opponent has a sniper..."

"That's why I need you guys to follow me." Wang Chen patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

He paused, suddenly remembering something. "By the way, there's something I need to tell you."

Dragon and Tiger looked at him.

"I have... a military base in Africa."

Both of them were stunned at the same time.

"What?" Tiger dug into his ear. "Boss, what did you say? Military what?"

"A military base," Wang Chen repeated. "100 meters underground in the Sahara Desert, five floors, with tanks, planes, and missiles."

Dragon: "..."

Tiger: "..."

The living room was dead silent for a full ten seconds.

Then Tiger suddenly jumped up. "Holy crap! For real? Tanks? What model?"

"VT-4," Wang Chen said.

"VT-4?! The latest domestic main battle tank?!" Tiger's eyes were glowing. "How many?!"

"Three."

"What else, what else?"

"Three apaches, one J-11, twenty armored vehicles, ten multi-barrel self-propelled artillery pieces..." Wang Chen went through the list roughly.

Tiger was practically drooling as he listened.

"Boss! Can I drive a tank?! I've even passed my tank driver's license! I've driven a T-72 in Africa!"

"Sure," Wang Chen laughed. "After the Lantern Festival, I'll take you guys to Africa to experience it."

"Really?!" Tiger was as excited as a two-hundred-pound child. "Boss, I love you!"

Dragon was still relatively calm, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. "Boss, this base... where did it come from?"

"Don't worry about that." Wang Chen waved his hand. "Anyway, it's ours. I've already contacted Rat and told him to take a team to receive it."

"That kid Zodiac: Ox will definitely go along too!" Tiger suddenly felt sour. "He'll definitely want to play with the tanks first! Boss, you don't know, that kid used to be an armored soldier!"

Dragon finally laughed. "Alright, stop being sour. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

The three of them went to the study and discussed today's plan in detail.

Wang Chen made a video call to Rat.

On the other end of the screen, Rat was in a camp somewhere in Africa; judging by the background, he was likely in a tent.

"Boss, you were looking for me?"

"There's a mission," Wang Chen said. "In the Sahara Desert, there's an underground military base. Take some people to receive it. I'll send you the coordinates in a moment."

Rat was stunned. "An underground... military base?"

"Yes. It's fully equipped. Inventory it and report the list to me," Wang Chen said. "Stay safe. Although there shouldn't be any enemies, you still need to be careful. Remember to stay hidden!"

"...Understood." Although Rat's head was full of question marks, he didn't ask further.

Whatever the Boss said, went.

Hanging up the phone, Wang Chen checked the time; it was almost 8:00.

"Have the nanny go wake Su Xi up for breakfast," he said to Tiger.

"You got it!"

At the breakfast table, Su Xi clearly felt that the atmosphere was off.

"What's wrong with you guys?" She looked at Wang Chen, then at Dragon and Tiger. "Everyone's expression is so serious."
