Back at Sophia's mansion. The private doctors who were on call 24/7 immediately gave Xiao Zheng a full body checkup. Although Ruth and Nika's bandaging skills were quite good, they were not professional doctors. However, the two women were not professional doctors after all, and their skills could not be compared to private doctors hired with a high salary. In addition, the tools in the medical kit were too simple, and they could not do a deeper examination. Therefore, when they returned home, Sophia immediately ordered the doctors to give Xiao Zheng a full body checkup. She was afraid that there would be repercussions.
However, after an hour-long examination and re-bandaging of the wound, the answer given by the doctor was not optimistic.
"The injuries on the left and right shoulders are serious. Try not to lift your arm for the next month. This was to avoid leaving behind sequelae and incurable diseases. The wound on the back of your hand must be treated properly. It must not come in contact with water. Because the wound is too deep, if you are careless, the wound might get infected and cause other complications. "
Sophia listened to the doctor's advice patiently, then dismissed everyone. She slowly walked to Xiao Zheng's side and sat on the bed. She wrote, "Did you hear what the doctor said?"
"Yes." Xiao Zheng lay comfortably on the bed. Although the wound still hurt, it was nothing to Xiao Zheng, who had been through a lot.
"For the sake of your health, stay with me for the time being, okay?"
Sofia wrote a line of words and looked at Xiao Zheng with a worried expression.
One month. Perhaps to Sophia, it was not a long time. But to Xiao Zheng, it was a long vacation.
And Sophia was very clear about Xiao Zheng's schedule. It was only a week's vacation. He would board the plane tomorrow and return home. Would Xiao Zheng agree to stay here to recuperate? Could he bear to leave Lin Huayin for a month?
Sofia did not dare to guarantee what kind of reply Xiao Zheng would give, regardless of whether it was for official or personal reasons.
"Okay." Xiao Zheng nodded, a smile on his face.
He agreed?
Sophia, who was overjoyed, felt a deep sense of doubt.
Was he thinking about his own health, or was he accommodating her feelings? Or —
"This is not like you." Sofia wrote another line. He handed it over to Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes and sized Sofia up. He smiled and said, "How is this not like my character? With a beauty like you serving me 24 hours a day. I can't wait to be happy. Besides, if you don't keep a tight watch, Little Ruth and the others won't let me off — "
"I don't mind," Sofia wrote. "As long as you're happy."
Xiao Zheng laughed and teased, "You don't mind me, so you're going to shoot them?"
Sofia's eyes flashed and she pursed her lips. Not a word was spoken.
Seeing Sofia reveal an unfathomable expression, Yang Ling's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, Even though she is already so close to me. But I still can't control my style of doing things.
Putting aside the ridiculous chatter, the strategy she adopted to deal with the Cang Dragon was enough to make Xiao Zheng's jaw drop.
It seemed that the Cang Dragon had the upper hand in the negotiations. But what was the truth? This mute woman had already set up a trap for them. She was waiting for them to leave the villa with smiles on their faces.
How could a woman like this not make one's skin crawl?
"Why did the military agree to help you?" Xiao Zheng suddenly remembered what Ruth had said about the news from the military.
Although Sofia was the number one socialite in New York, she also had a high status in the business world. But to collude with the military and establish such a huge entanglement of interests … It would not be easy to achieve.
"Because I made a promise to them." Sofia wrote a line of words. "As long as they help me get rid of the obstacles, I don't mind working with them."
"Working with the military?" Xiao Zheng asked in surprise. "The Fox Hunters is an illegal and terrorist organization. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to work with the military?"
"The Fox Hunters is an underground organization established by the US military. But over the years, they have slowly lost contact with the military. And because of some of the radical actions of the Fox Hunters, the US military has been under a lot of pressure. And political attacks from all over the world. If they can regain control of the Fox Hunters through me. Why wouldn't the US military do it? "
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng understood Sofia's intentions on the surface. But deep down, wasn't this betraying her own interests?
He asked curiously, "Let the US military regain control of the Fox Hunters. What about you? Can you do it in Itō? "
Sofia shook her head and patiently wrote a paragraph on the paper. "Before I take over Itō, the US military will not be able to fully control the Fox Hunters. And even if I completely take over Itō in the future. The US military will only be working with me. My goal is to make money and expand my power. I don't need to use terrorism to make huge profits. So, for the US military, I am definitely the best partner. "
"So, you and the US military are using each other? They are using you to infiltrate the Fox Hunters. And you are using the power of the US military to gain absolute control of the Fox Hunters? "Xiao Zheng asked curiously. "A mutually dependent transaction?"
Sofia nodded slightly in agreement.
Xiao Zheng paused and asked curiously, "That's strange. Since the US military knows your identity. Why don't they just punish you? That's better than using you, right? And they will face uncontrollable risks at any time. "
Sofia looked at Xiao Zheng with a slightly mysterious expression and wrote, "What happens after punishing me? And punishing Itō as well? Let's not talk about the price they have to pay to achieve these goals. Even if they have the ability to punish all the higher-ups of the Fox Hunters. But what happens after that? You have to know that the Fox Hunters is not a single team. It is an extremely complicated and large organization. If used well, many people will benefit. If used badly, there will be a huge backlash. As for going all out and wiping out the Fox Hunters — do you know that there are tens of thousands of members in the Fox Hunters in Africa? The Skeleton Corps is just more prominent. "
Perhaps she was tired from writing. After a short rest, Sofia continued to write on the white paper. "So, for the US military, the best way is to find a spokesperson who is familiar with the inner workings of the Fox Hunters. Just like the starting point of the Fox Hunters, to achieve their goals through the Fox Hunters. "
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng had a sudden realization. "And you, don't need too much support from them. As long as you open the door wide, you can make huge profits through the Fox Hunters. You can achieve a win-win situation with the US military. They might even help you suppress Itō? "
"Correct." Sofia gave him a look of affirmation. She wrote the last sentence on the white paper. "Itō wanted to test me through Cang Long. If Cang Long failed, he could also take over the Skeleton Corps. But he never expected Marshall to be a smart person. He would never follow Cang Long to his death. As long as I give him a chance, he can be used by me and shine. "
"Marshall is indeed a very smart person. If he can be used by you. I believe that the situation in Africa will be under your control. "Xiao Zheng sighed. He admired this woman's method of turning the situation around.
They were originally at a disadvantage, but after a clever plan, not only did they not lose any territory, they even took over Africa. This kind of method was extremely brilliant.
Sofia, who was about to put down the pen and paper, didn't know what to think. She proudly wrote: "Africa may not be as profitable as North America, but it's worth at least ten billion USD."
Xiao Zheng's eyes lit up. He complimented, "Looks like your value has increased a lot."
"I'm not considered poor anymore, right?" Sofia wrote this sentence meaningfully.
Seeing this, Xiao Zheng thought back to the time when she compared herself to Lin Huayin and thought that she was poor. This time, it seemed to be a competition.
