Justin was obviously not joking.
He even warned Xiao Zheng with a tone of warning that the Zhao family's castle must not be broken into!
Xiao Zheng believed that Justin's intention was good, and he also knew that Justin had no reason to ruin his plan. Because at least for now, there was no conflict of interest between the two parties.
All of Justin's warnings came from the friendship that was neither too deep nor too shallow.
Eighteen Murderous Ghosts?
That was the first time Xiao Zheng had heard of it. But it was deeply engraved in his heart.
He knew that this might become a big obstacle for him to break into the Zhao family's castle. An obstacle other than Zhao Yin!
After hanging up, Xiao Zheng and Tina went back to the hotel first. They took a shower and had a simple meal. Xiao Zheng and Tina sat together to discuss.
"The castle is in a remote location, and there are no other buildings around. It might be easy to hide, but it should be very difficult to sneak in. "Xiao Zheng took a sip of coffee and pointed at the simple map on the coffee table.
Tina sat on the sofa in a daze, and her eyes glanced at Xiao Zheng from time to time. But she did not participate in Xiao Zheng's discussion.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Zheng put down the coffee cup and asked with a smile.
It was rare to see Tina not focused. Xiao Zheng was a little curious.
"We haven't worked together for a long time." Tina pursed her lips slightly, and a long-lost glow flashed in her eyes.
Xiao Zheng smiled and did not say much.
He knew that Tina enjoyed carrying out one mission after another. But that kind of life was getting further and further away for Xiao Zheng. Maybe one day, he would even put down the work he was doing. Find a comfortable place with a pleasant climate and live in seclusion with his family. To live a life of idyllic beauty.
But now, he really did not have much choice.
He owed some favors, and he had to pay them back.
There were some risks that he had to bear.
"We always completed the previous missions safely." Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and smiled. "I hope it's the same this time."
"Definitely." Tina nodded and pointed at the jungle at the southeast of the castle. "We can cut in from here. Take advantage of the darkness to sneak in quietly. "
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "Justin has already reminded me that there are 18 Baleful Ghosts in the Zhao Clan's ancient castle. Their skills are different from ordinary people, so it won't be that easy to avoid their line of sight. "
Tina raised an eyebrow. "That's why I'm the one who entered from here alone to attract their attention," she continued after a pause. "With your strength, as long as you aren't discovered by Zhao Yin, you can successfully take Qiu Shou away within three minutes."
Xiao Zheng was taken aback for a moment before he rejected the idea on the spot. I might be able to escape from this plan, but you might not be able to. "
Tina asked, "You don't want to save her?"
"Saving people is saving people. But I can't let you take the risk. "Xiao Zheng shook his head firmly.
Tina still wanted to say something, but Xiao Zheng waved his hand and said, "I've decided. There's no need to say more. "
After saying that, he stood up and picked up a pot of coffee. "I will visit Zhao Yin openly."
Tina's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Xiao Zheng in disbelief. "That's suicide."
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Although Zhao Yin is powerful, he might not be able to keep me here."
"The risk is too great," Tina strongly objected. "We can think of other ways. Zhao Yin won't let you go if you visit him openly. "
Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Do you think someone like Zhao Yin will have a stronger pride than ordinary people?"
Tina was taken aback. She pursed her lips and said, "We can't gamble with his thoughts. It's not worth it. "
"This might be the only way to resolve this peacefully," Xiao Zheng shook his head and said in a deep voice. "I've already decided."
"I'll go with you." Tina also expressed her stance without hesitation.
"You can send me to the door," Xiao Zheng said slowly. "But you can't go in with me."
"Why?" Tina asked. "I can help you. At least I can stop the Eighteen Wraiths. "
"I might have a chance to escape from the Zhao family's ancient castle," Xiao Zheng said with determination. "You might not be able to."
After a pause, Xiao Zheng finished the coffee in his cup and said, "Let's take a break. Maybe — when I escape from the ancient castle, I'll need you to cover my back? "
Tina bit her lips and was speechless.
She knew that Xiao Zheng had already rejected her. And she seemed to have no way to change Xiao Zheng's decision.
Silence became her most powerful protest.
Even though this strength seemed a little weak in front of Xiao Zheng, it still seemed a little weak.
The long flight made both of them feel tired. Xiao Zheng casually lay on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. Tina, on the other hand, stared at the blueprint as if she was trying to find the most reasonable and beneficial way for Xiao Zheng.
But in the end, she gave up in vain.
In his overseas career, Xiao Zheng was always the one who made the final decision on the mission plan.
Without his approval, any mission could be terminated at the last minute. This did not mean that Xiao Zheng's personal combat ability was strong enough. It was his big picture view and his deep analysis of the mission. It had long been proven through many practices.
If he said it was possible, then it must be possible.
If he said there was no other way, then even if you racked your brains for three days and three nights, you might not be able to come up with a better plan.
This was Xiao Zheng's unique acuity in the Dark World. Few people were better than him.
He rested for about three or four hours.
Xiao Zheng opened his eyes on time. It was exactly 5: 30. If he went out now, he might be able to catch the Zhao family's dinner.
He went out in the car that he had booked before. Ordinary taxis were not interested in going to such a remote place. It was a small matter that he could not get repeat customers. If the car broke down, it would be troublesome to repair it.
Along the way, the blonde driver chatted with the two of them in a gentlemanly manner. Xiao Zheng, on the other hand, chatted casually.
Tina did not participate because she was in a bad mood. Of course, even if she was in a good mood, she rarely spoke in front of outsiders.
Along the way to the suburbs, Tina became more and more nervous. Not for herself, but for Xiao Zheng.
Because of Zhao Yin's existence, the Zhao family's ancient castle was a terrifying place.
And if Xiao Zheng took the risk alone, could he leave successfully?
Tina couldn't figure out anything at all.
The only thing she could do was to wait outside the ancient castle for him to come out safely, as Xiao Zheng said.
Or — to bring up the rear for him?
A European-style ancient castle appeared in the slightly dim sky. And as the car kept moving forward, the whole appearance of the castle was revealed.
In an instant. The gloomy temperament of the ancient castle hit them in the face in an instant. Even the driver seemed a little uneasy. "Damn it, why is it suddenly thundering and raining?"
