Chapter 111 Plan

"What! Demoulan!!!"

"What?! She wants you to be her son-in-law?! I'm going to go over there and shoot her dead!"

After learning about the explosion, Wei Long hurriedly took Zhang Hao back to the Special Operations Department. They drove so fast that Zhang Hao could only cling to Wei Long and scream in agony.

"Brother Weilong! Slow down! Mommy!"

Back at the Special Operations Department, Wei Long quickly gathered everyone together and told them about the incident, which elicited an outburst from everyone.

The three engineers, led by Deep Blue, thought that the old woman Demulan had scared their precious Xiao Hao, and decided to treat her to a prop next time.

Meanwhile, the assault troops led by Wei Long (just the two of them) felt that they needed to plan a decapitation operation against Demulan next time, otherwise it wouldn't do for their little cabbage to keep being targeted.

As for the three girls...

Mai Xiaowen: Hey you old lady, take this data dagger!

Luna: I can't stand it anymore, someone still wants to join the battle, give her an electric arrow.

Zoya: No need for further words, Firefly, attack!

The three said they didn't need a plan; Demurrando was a threat every day, and they could only get a good night's sleep if they wiped them out.

"Hey! Xiao Hao, you said Demulan saw you? Then why didn't she recognize you?"

At this point, Roy, who was not on any side, raised a question: Would Demulan be so kind? Not only did she not arrest Xiao Hao, whom her company had put a bounty on, but she also wanted to take Xiao Hao as her son-in-law?

"Hey, come here and take a good look at Xiao Hao's two photos. Can you really tell that it's the same person?"

Mai Xiaowen took out two photos of Zhang Hao and placed them in front of Luo Yi, so that he could see how much Zhang Hao had changed.

"Huh? Aren't these two the same? Can't you tell? Oh dear, it seems you don't know Xiao Hao very well."

Roy stubbornly insisted that, of course, he would be ganged up on by three furious women.

"Xiao Hao, are you sure the new location you and Said found this afternoon is safe? Maybe you shouldn't go this time."

Terry was still a little worried, after all, Xiao Hao was their special operations unit's treasure. What if Zhang Hao got caught by bad guys that day...?

Terry's words were accepted by most people, and even Red Wolf said that Xiao Hao should not be risked this time.

Zhang Hao couldn't possibly tolerate this, and immediately declared that it was a questioning of his abilities.

Seeing Zhang Hao's defiant expression, even Shen Lan, who always doted on him, murmured something after thinking for a moment:

"To be honest, Xiao Hao, I think that if you run into an ordinary person, it's fine, but if you actually run into Demulan, you really can't beat her."

Demoulin: What are you talking about? How could I possibly hit my precious son-in-law? I'd just kidnap him! (???`?)

So everyone left Zhang Hao and Luo Yi outside and started discussing again whether Xiao Hao should go or not.

Roy: ? ? ? ? ?

“This is blatant discrimination against individuals. I also have the right to join the meeting.”

Roy roared and charged in, only to be thrown out by Red Wolf and Dragon together.

"Waaaaah, Xiao Hao comforted me, I was being bullied by them."

Roy cried as she turned toward Zhang Hao, but all she got in return was a cute eye roll from him.

"Hmph, I'm ignoring you all. I'm going to find my precious daughter for comfort."

In a fit of anger, Roy declared that he wouldn't attend the meeting and turned around to go back to his room to make a video call with his beloved daughter.

Zhang Hao leaned against Mai Xiaowen, craning his neck to listen to their arrangements.

"That's settled then. When we've blown it up and we see no one around, Zoya, hurry down and join us."

After discussing the matter, everyone decided to have Zoya stay by Zhang Hao's side for the time being. After all, Zoya's Firefly skill could both attack and defend, and if anything happened, she could quickly lead Zhang Hao to retreat.

"Um... I have a suggestion!"

At this moment, Zhang Hao suddenly raised his hand, ready to speak.

"Hmm? What are your thoughts? Tell me."

Seeing that Xiao Hao had his own insights, Shen Lan also asked.

"I don't think it's necessary to go through all that trouble. You can just follow your plan. I'll just bring Uncle Said along that day, okay?"

Zhang Hao was also quite curious as to why they hadn't thought of Said. It was Said who had protected him and helped him find the sniper position he was supposed to go to that day.

"Hey, Xiao Hao, you don't understand, this is a matter for our GTI. There's no need to drag Said into it. We have different positions."

Shen Lan explained to Zhang Hao that, after all, Said represented the position of the Asara Guard, and he also needed to manage the entire Zero Dam.

Deep Blue: The most, most, most important thing is that I really dislike him. Now Xiao Hao thinks about him all the time, which is unacceptable. We can't let our little cabbage be eaten by Asara, that wild boar.

"Huh? But... I just messaged Uncle Said, and he said there's no problem at all, and he'll pick me up at the dam entrance that morning."

Zhang Hao held up his phone, which showed his chat history with Said. Said had readily agreed and even asked if he wanted to send reinforcements to Deep Blue.

Just then, Said sent another voice message, which Zhang Hao then played in front of everyone.

"Hey Xiaohao, can you ask that guy with the shield if his plan is working? Should I have Abel help them break in? I can't get away to protect you, otherwise I'd just take care of it for you."

After hearing this, Zhang Hao cautiously raised his head to look at Shen Lan. Sure enough, Shen Lan's face had darkened, and his aura had become heavy.

Uluru, sitting next to him, quietly shifted his left and right hips, subtly moving to the other side, afraid that Deep Blue might think he was too angry and beat him up to vent his anger.

Deep Blue: Why are you running? Coward! I wouldn't make a move with Xiao Hao here, hmph!

Shen Lan reached for Zhang Hao's phone, and after a moment of silence, pressed the voice input button and said:

“I’m not some guy with a shield. Call me Deep Blue. And I don’t need you to call for help. You’re already thankful that you’ve kept an eye on Xiao Hao. We’re much stronger than you think. If you call me someone with a shield again, you can forget about ever seeing Xiao Hao again.”

After saying that, Shenlan silently handed it to Zhang Hao, as if nothing had happened.

Everyone remained silent, looking at Shen Lan who seemed completely unaffected, and silently thought to themselves: It seems Shen Lan is a bit petty too.

Just then, Zhang Hao's phone rang again. It was Sayid answering. Although Zhang Hao was thinking of going back to listen, his deep blue hand stopped him as he was about to leave.

"Don't go yet, Xiao Hao, let me hear what he has to say?"

Shen Lan said with a "kind" expression.

Now Zhang Hao was at a loss and could only play the new voice message sent by Said again...

Chapter 112 Petty

"Xiao Hao? Was that Shen Lan talking just now? He seems a bit petty. You mustn't learn bad habits from him, okay?"

. . . . . . . .

Silence fell over the entire Special Operations Unit. Zhang Hao could feel the aura of the deep blue man even without looking up.

"Haha, Uncle Deep Blue, I'll head back now. I'm feeling a bit sticky after a long day."

Seeing that the current situation was not good, Zhang Hao chose to follow Roy's example—running away was the best option.

"Okay, Xiao Hao, you should get some rest. We'll be taking action in a couple of days. Uluru, come with me. I need to test your close-combat skills."

Uluru: ? ? ? ? ?

"No way, Deep Blue, you should just call me Terry. My little body can't handle this. And... and isn't my main job to provide fire support from behind?"

Uluru was still hoping to try again, while silently cursing Said countless times in his mind. "Damn it, why didn't you just say it out loud? You're both so brainless and petty! The problem is, I'm the one who's suffering." (;???Д??`)

But Deep Blue had already come up behind him and lifted him up in one swift motion.

Uluru: Dude, is this right? I'm such a big guy... Deep Blue, it's fine.

"Hey, don't worry. Even if you get beaten up and can't get out of bed today, Roy and I will make sure you're jumping around again tomorrow."

As she passed by Zoa, she kindly assured Uluru, but those words completely shattered Uluru's hopes.

"Terry, make sure the gym door is closed tightly later, so that Xiao Hao doesn't hear anything, okay?"

Deep Blue suddenly turned around and said to Terry as he walked. Terry nodded knowingly. Luckily, he wasn't being used as a punching bag this time. Although he was indeed tough, Terry thought it was better to avoid taking a few punches from Deep Blue.

"Damn, why does this scene feel so familiar? Did Zoya do something similar back then...?"

Wei Long whispered to Mai Xiaowen, "Same nationality, same victims, same closure."

Wei Long: I can't afford to mess with him. I absolutely can't talk back to Shen Lan anymore. I want to live a few more years.

After Deep Blue dragged Uluru inside and Terry closed the gym door, the remaining members, seeing there was no more fun to be had, dispersed and returned to their respective rooms.

After returning to his room, Zhang Hao quickly explained to Said the devastating impact of his words on Deep Blue.

"Uncle Said, you'd better watch your step if you see Uncle Deep Blue next time, or you'll most likely get a beating."

"Damn, was that necessary? I just said a couple of things to him, and he's really taking it so seriously. By the way, wasn't he the one with the really strong strength last time? Hmm~, never mind, I'll start training my strength in every way right now."

Recalling the scene when he shook hands with Deep Blue last time, Said couldn't help but mutter to himself that this person's strength was comparable to Reis's. It seemed that he couldn't just lie around and slack off every day.

"Sophia, let's suspend classes for the next two days. I have more important things to do right now."

On the other side of the dam, after hanging up the phone, Said slammed his hand on the table and stood up, speaking earnestly to the bewildered Sofia.

"You've got some brains now, haven't you? Every time you skipped class these past few days, what's with this pretense of asking for leave? Trying to turn over a new leaf?"

After hearing this, Said couldn't help but blush. "Ahem, thank goodness Xiao Hao isn't here, otherwise I would have been utterly humiliated."

But it seemed Sofia possessed mind-reading abilities, as she gave Said an "evil" smile and said:

"Alright, alright, Said, are you afraid that Xiao Hao will find out about your situation?"

Saeed's face stiffened. This wasn't right. Wasn't he still wearing a mask? How did she know what he was thinking? Did they teach them mind-reading techniques at university?

Sofia couldn't see how Said's expression changed, but when she saw this man, who usually had a sharp and murderous look in public, start rolling his eyes, she could roughly tell what he was thinking.

Sofia, intrigued at the prospect of teasing Said, feigned profundity and said…

"That's right, just like you thought, I can read minds."

Said: Σ(っ°Д °;)っ! ! ! ! !

Sofia then saw Said's eyes widen again behind his red mask, staring at her blankly, as if he found it utterly unbelievable. If Abel were here, he probably would have exclaimed, "Ignorance is truly terrifying!"

Sophia, as if she had thought of something amusing, uttered a "devil's whisper" to Said.

"Oh, are you afraid? It just so happens that Xiao Hao and I exchanged contact information today, Mr. Said. You don't want Xiao Hao to know that the all-powerful Uncle Said in his eyes is a bad adult who doesn't like to study, do you?"

Saeed: I'll study hard, please don't tell Xiao Hao!

"I...I won't skip class anymore, please don't tell Xiaohao."

Seeing Said's pitiful and obedient appearance now, Sofia nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that only Xiao Hao could effectively deal with this troublemaker. From now on, she would call Xiao Hao over to supervise Said's studies whenever possible, and she would also ask for his opinion on some points. Besides, he was so good-looking...

Seeing Sophia's satisfied smile, Sayed thought for a moment, then mustered his courage and said to her:

"But I really don't have time to attend classes these next two days. Xiao Hao is going to participate in a rather dangerous mission in a couple of days, and I need to protect him closely (just in case Shen Lan comes and beats me up without me having the strength to fight back). I need to do some special training these next two days! Please grant me permission, Teacher Sophia!"

Seeing that Said, the troublemaker who usually racked his brains to skip class, was seriously asking her for leave for the first time, and considering that it was indeed a big deal, plus that she was in a rather pleasant mood, Sofia simply waved her hand:

"Go ahead, I grant your permission!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" (Just kidding!)

Meanwhile, Said picked up a piece of paper next to Sofia and began to plan his training program. He declared that the mere Deep Blue was nothing compared to his own strength.

Zhang Hao: Uncle Said, you're probably overthinking it!

At that moment, Abel brought in a mountain of documents and saw that Said, who usually had a long face, was now excitedly writing something.

When Sophia saw such a large stack of documents, she had an ominous premonition, and as it turned out, a woman's sixth sense was indeed very accurate.

"Boss Said, here's the information for tomorrow. I've put it here for you."

Sayed, without looking up, said:

"Well, then tomorrow will be tough on you and Sophia... Wait, there's a murderous aura."

Said quickly turned his head and saw that Sophia was no longer in a good mood; her resentment and anger were almost tangible.

"Thank you for your help! I'll be going now."

Saeed quickly patted Abel on the shoulder and then leaped away.

"You've really gotten bold, huh? Come back here right now!!!"

Sofia's shouts echoed throughout the entire East Administration Building.
