Chapter 68 Unexpected Harvest

In the mountains and forests.

Lao Hei strode to Su Tianyu's side and whispered, "There's an unexpected reward."

"Did you get something from the interrogation?" Su Tianyu turned his head.

"Yes, it's the son of Zhang Zhengchen from Huihong Group." Lao Hei grinned and replied, "The eldest son, a big fish!"

Su Tianyu was also surprised and punched Lao Hei on the shoulder. "Not bad, brother!"

"You might not believe it, but he ran into my face himself." Lao Hei replied shyly, "I was dumbfounded at the time."

"This is fate, you deserve a reward." Su Tianyu was very happy. "This person will be useful later. When we get back, I'll buy you a house."

"I want a 300-square-meter one."

"I'll buy you two, one above ground and one underground!" Su Tianyu patted him on the shoulder. "And hire eight little paper servants to save money for you regularly."

"Get lost!"

The two looked at each other and smiled. Su Tianyu clapped his hands and shouted to the crowd, "Prepare to withdraw!"

While the team rested, Su Tianyu had already contacted Yu Mingyuan and learned that Group B had also safely withdrawn.

Although Group B did not capture the military supplies this time, Group A's plan was at least 70% complete. Except for not taking down Kang Dinghuang, the other objectives had been achieved.

At the rest stop, everyone simply treated their wounds and set off again.

...

New York City, First District, Regional Government.

In the brightly lit governor's office in the early morning, a group of military and political figures sat around a conference table with grave expressions.

"Traitors!! Our Dragon City has been occupied by traitors!" The governor of the First District, over seventy years old, slammed the table and cursed, shaking his sparse white hair. "There are no secrets left in this region!"

A group of white military and political officials remained silent, while the few high-ranking Chinese officials frowned.

"If we can't find the traitors, this will be the biggest joke of the year, no, of the century!" The governor glared at everyone angrily. "Gentlemen, I don't want to see any more bullshit plans. I want results. Then send those traitors to the gallows to be executed, with the most solemn means!"

Beside him, the Vice-Speaker of the National Assembly responded softly, "Governor, Tan Hengqiang, the commander of the Dragon City garrison, called and claimed that he had summoned the military officers responsible for the misdirected troops. We can..."

"I don't want to hear this nonsense. This is not an incident caused by a mistake! Only idiots would believe that the loss of goods under the protection of 50,000 troops is the result of the betrayal of a certain regiment-level department." The governor waved his hand directly. "The generals in Dragon City are not trustworthy. We need to send a new organization to investigate."

With one sentence, the Regional Security Bureau lost its power to investigate the incident.

The meeting lasted for about twenty minutes. The hijacking was given attention by the highest department and highest leader of the First District.

Why would the governor pay so much attention to a batch of goods worth only 300 million, and even be so angry? Because this is not about money at all, nor is it about the so-called face. What face is there to talk about in the political behavior of the region?

This is a harbinger that Dragon City may have lost military control!

A garrison corps can't even protect such a small amount of military supplies, and can still allow the bandits to escape successfully. Isn't this absurd? Isn't this terrible?

Can it be understood that if these bandits were to attack Dragon City, they could come and go freely?

...

The leadership of all military units in the First District is in the hands of the governor, who is also the highest military commander. However, the governor does not have the power to declare war; only the Regional Assembly can exercise this power. In other words, the troops are under the jurisdiction of the Regional Assembly.

After the meeting, the Regional Security Department did not obtain the investigation rights for the case of the hijacked military supplies, but instead handed it over to the Regional Assembly.

This shows that the governor no longer trusts the Regional Security Bureau, nor does he trust Dragon City. He wants to find a third-party force to intervene and thoroughly investigate the case.

The elite selected by the Regional Assembly will definitely be mainly white people, but since this incident involves the Chinese garrison headquarters, it won't work to just send white people. They don't understand the situation in Dragon City, and they will inevitably encounter resistance in handling the case.

For the above reasons, a newcomer was appointed as the deputy leader of the investigation team.

...

Around ten o'clock in the morning.

In another small town less than two hundred kilometers from Sri Lanka, Kang Dinghuang had been rescued for more than six hours.

After being rescued by helicopter from the scene of the attack, he was transported to the field hospital here, but due to the severity of his injuries, he had been in a coma.

It wasn't until noon that Kang Dinghuang was pushed into the intensive care unit, his body covered with tubes and monitoring devices. Although he had woken up, he looked very weak.

Kang Dinghuang had been shot in the back, which did not injure his internal organs, but it did injure his right back ribs. Even if he recovered, he would be left with sequelae, and he might not be able to raise his arm to a normal height.

In addition, Hou Guoyu smashed the mountain rock wall with a single shot, and Kang Dinghuang's right cheek was riddled with gravel, completely disfiguring him.

After being pushed into the intensive care unit, Kang Dinghuang vaguely opened his eyes and saw a figure walking up to him.

"...Xiao...Xiao Xian!" Kang Dinghuang whispered, "You're here?"

"Take good care of yourself!"

The man called Xiao Xian was in his thirties. He reached out and pressed down on Kang Dinghuang's arm, which he was trying to raise. "I received orders to come and investigate the military supplies matter. Don't worry, I will do it well."

Kang Dinghuang swallowed with difficulty and nodded seriously.

"I came to see you just to put your mind at ease." Xiao Xian bent down and said, "Everything will be alright."

"Internal...traitor, there must be a traitor." Kang Dinghuang lay on the bed, his voice hoarse. "They've been planning this for a long time."

Xiao Xian was stunned. "You mean there's a problem with the garrison corps?"

"Without an inside…they definitely wouldn't be able to escape...the garrison corps must be investigated, and Lao An must also be investigated." Kang Dinghuang responded softly, "The Tongji Association must be involved."

"I understand."

"Handle...handle it carefully...the 50,000 troops in Dragon City are different from other troops, they are vassal forces stationed abroad...a moment's difference can lead to two different outcomes." Kang Dinghuang urged anxiously.

Xiao Xian nodded slowly. "I understand."

This person's surname is Zhou, his name is Zhou Xian, and he is a rising star in the old faction of the Chinese corps in the First District, with a very strong background.

...

Dragon City.

Yu Mingyuan asked Fei Pingsheng and Zhou Tonghui, "Have all the arrangements been made? There won't be any problems, right?"

"Don't worry, the head of the private armed forces is scared now." Zhou Tonghui responded softly, "He doesn't want anything to happen either. His wife and children are still on my side."

"I have no problems here either." Fei Pingsheng replied.
