In an instant, Xiao Zheng was able to determine which mission Tina was carrying out. Ma Choi Jun and the others also vaguely guessed Tina's mission. Therefore, for nearly a minute, there was absolute silence on the other end of the phone. Other than the slightly heavy breathing, there was no other sound.
"Siyan."
After a brief silence, as the leader of the team, Xiao Zheng began to issue orders, "Locate the leader of the Cardinal College. Find out the employer, purpose, and exact time of the mission. "
"I know what to do," Siyan responded quickly. It showed his strong adaptability.
"After confirming the address, book a ticket for me," Xiao Zheng said calmly.
"Book a ticket?" Ma Choi Jun suddenly raised his voice. "The target is the second-in-command of the Vatican! Even if you and Tina work together, you have no chance of winning! "
"I'm going to get her back," Xiao Zheng said expressionlessly. "Not to accompany her on the mission."
Siyan said with a troubled expression, "But with Tina's personality, it'll be very difficult for her to terminate the mission."
"You have to do it even if it's difficult," Xiao Zheng said word by word. "This isn't an ordinary assassination, and it's not an assassination that can be measured by money!"
In Xiao Zheng's eyes, a cardinal who was able to cultivate Hussain, one of the Eight Greats of the World. How much impact could a normal assassin have on him? Even if the world's number one, Xiao Zheng, carried out the mission himself, he wouldn't have any confidence!
Not to mention, under the cardinal's command, there was a terrifying Holy Knight Regiment with unparalleled combat power!
Even if Tina's stealth ability was unparalleled, and she could pass through the Holy Knight Regiment's tight defense line. How could she assassinate the master of Hussain, one of the Eight Greats of the World!?
Tina's mission was bound to fail!
"Understood," Ma Choi Jun said reluctantly. "Boss. He had to bring Tina back safely. She's been wandering for too long. "
"I know," Xiao Zheng said with a serious expression. "I'll give you an hour. I'll be waiting for you at the airport."
"Got it." Ma Choi Jun hung up the phone and started the investigation.
This time, it was an indescribable test for the entire team. A group of people who lived by killing met a group of cultivators who were worshipped as the Son of God. What kind of contest was this? How would this battle end?
Xiao Zheng hung up the call and swiftly left Longfeng Restaurant, heading straight for Xin Ao's headquarters.
Dong dong.
After knocking on the door of the CEO's office, Xiao Zheng sat in front of Lin Huayin. His expression was indescribably solemn, but his eyes flashed with unswerving determination.
"What's the matter?" Lin Huayin put down her pen and looked at Xiao Zheng with a subtle expression.
The last time Xiao Zheng barged into her office with this appearance was when he came to Yan Jing from Mingzhu and cut off one of Yan Shang's arms. He was then chased by the entire city. He became famous after that battle.
And this time, Xiao Zheng sat in front of her like this again.
"En." Xiao Zheng nodded his head lightly and looked at Lin Huayin with a deep gaze. "I'm going on a long trip."
"Do you need me to help you pack your luggage?" In the office, Lin Huayin's words sounded extremely strange. But it was filled with a strong sense of friendship.
Only Xiao Zheng could make Lin Huayin, who separated public and private interests, say such words in the office.
"No need."
But obviously, Xiao Zheng could only accept it. "I'll go to the airport immediately and catch the fastest flight."
"I'll send you." Lin Huayin stood up and did not give Xiao Zheng a chance to hesitate.
Soon, Lin Huayin drove the car out of the parking lot. She did not sneak around and hide like she usually did. Instead, she sent Xiao Zheng away openly.
Lin Huayin was a very smart woman. Moreover, Xiao Zheng had learned his lesson once. So she did not need to ask to know that Xiao Zheng was facing a terrible problem. As for what the problem was, she still maintained the same attitude. If he did not say, she would not ask.
Because she knew that even if she asked, there were some problems that Xiao Zheng would not say. Since that was the case, why should she add to her troubles?
As the person who slept with him, as a woman, the only thing she could do now was to support him with her actions. She wanted him to solve the problem wholeheartedly without any worries.
More than that, she could only pray silently.
As a matter of fact, what Xiao Zheng was about to do might not even be prayed for by God, who had great love in his heart, for him.
In the car, the two of them remained silent.
Lin Huayin drove the car calmly, while Xiao Zheng sat in the passenger seat with a confused expression. He wanted to say something, but he did not know where to start. He did not dare to tell Lin Huayin that this trip was fraught with grim possibilities and that he might not be able to come back. But he hoped that Lin Huayin would not worry, because he would find a way to come back to her side.
This was not a promise, but a wish from the heart.
"How long will you be gone?"
After a long silence, Lin Huayin finally could not help but ask.
In the past, even if she sat face to face with Xiao Zheng for a whole day without saying a word, Lin Huayin would not feel the slightest uneasiness or uneasiness.
But today, somehow, she wanted to say a few more words to Xiao Zheng.
Perhaps, even she could see it. This time, Xiao Zheng didn't seem to have any confidence at all.
"I don't know." Xiao Zheng answered honestly. "At least seven or eight days, at most —"
Xiao Zheng shut his mouth.
At most?
A month?
A year?
Or — a lifetime?
Xiao Zheng's expression was a little confused and helpless.
He had fallen in love with his current life, although he still caused some trouble from time to time, and he even had to look at some people's faces and be bullied by some people. But he felt satisfied and at ease.
The feeling of his feet stepping on the ground was what he had always been pursuing.
But this time, no matter what, he could not sit back and do nothing. Because it was Tina, his comrade-in-arms for five years. She was a woman who could sacrifice everything for him, including her life.
Even if he was smashed to pieces, he would keep her safe.
She was lonely enough and desolate enough. Xiao Zheng did not want her life to end in a hurry when it had just begun.
Just like she was willing to solve any trouble for Xiao Zheng and follow him forever. Xiao Zheng would do anything for her without reservation. Even if he lost his life.
"If the situation permits, give me a call." Lin Huayin did not ask the second half of Xiao Zheng's sentence, although the unfinished sentence was scary and very tempting. But if he did not say it, Lin Huayin would not ask.
But this time, she would not ask, and she did not dare to ask.
Because she knew the answer would not be what she wanted. It was not what she was willing to accept.
"Okay. I will contact you as soon as possible. "Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and said.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Zheng suddenly said, "If I don't come back —"
"I will always wait for you!"
