King's man?
A strange smile flashed across Xiao Zheng's face as he joked, "I just want to be a man with a choice."
Sophia's gaze changed slightly as she pursed her lips and smiled, "That day will come soon. I believe it. "
After ending the negotiations with the Skeleton Corps, Xiao Zheng continued to bide his time. He changed to another hotel and continued to live in seclusion. This time, he was not worried about the Skeleton Corps' counterattack, but rather, he was waiting for Dave's news.
Since the Skeleton Corps was colluding with the local enterprises, it was naturally most appropriate to leave this matter to Dave to handle.
Three days later, Xiao Zheng received a call from Dave.
"President. It has been settled. "Dave's respectful voice came from the other side of the phone. It was obvious that he had completely adapted to his new identity. Xiao Zheng could also tell from his tone whether this respect was flattery or sincere.
As expected of a mercenary from the Skeleton Corps with a strict system. He had an innate talent in this aspect. He knew how to find his own position.
"How will it be settled after this?" Xiao Zheng adjusted his unaccustomed state of mind and asked slowly.
"Those bosses have already agreed to a full retreat. They will no longer pose any obstacles to Phantom, "Dave said in detail. "Furthermore, they will provide some help."
"You've made a move?" Xiao Zheng was silent for a moment before his thin lips parted slightly.
Dave nodded awkwardly and said, "I killed one." He paused for a moment before continuing to explain. "I didn't kill them. Those tycoons don't know fear."
"I'll let it go this time," Xiao Zheng said as he pursed his lips. "After the union is established, you must be careful with your words and actions. Be clear about what you should do and what you shouldn't do. "
"Understood." Dave nodded and asked again. "President. Miss Sophia's men have also come over. Do you have any new instructions? "
Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "What aspect?"
On the other end of the line, Dave was stunned. Then, in a very careful tone, he said, "Everything —"
A smile rose on the corner of Xiao Zheng's lips as he teased, "Dave, I can understand your intentions. I also admire your vigilance in this regard. "After a pause, Xiao Zheng said slowly. "But you don't have to be too wary of Sofia — or the Fox Hunter. The reason why I became the president is because I can stabilize the situation. As for Sofia, you can rest assured and cooperate with her. She won't do anything behind my back. "
Dave nodded heavily. He could vaguely tell what Xiao Zheng was implying.
Would Sofia not act recklessly, or did she not dare to?
Xiao Zheng said that he could stabilize the situation. In other words, whether it was him, Dave, or Sophia. It was impossible for them to play tricks under Xiao Zheng's nose.
After getting Xiao Zheng's promise, Dave smiled and said, "President, I know what to do."
"Go ahead and do it. If there are any problems, contact me at any time. "Xiao Zheng smiled and hung up the phone.
After resting in his room for three days, Xiao Zheng wanted to inform Ouyang and the others to get back on track. Those who needed to work, those who needed to take a breather. But just as he left the room, two rows of majestic men in military uniforms strode over from the end of the corridor. In the middle, walking was a man in casual clothes in his early fifties with white hair on both sides of his temples.
His body was like an iron tower, and his eyes were like lightning. He had a strong presence.
Xiao Zheng saw this group of people walking toward him. His heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to turn around and return to his room to avoid this group of unknown military personnel, the man in casual clothes in the middle suddenly spoke in very fluent English, "Mr. Xiao?"
Hmm?
He can call me by my name?
Xiao Zheng's heart suddenly became vigilant!
He was certain that he had no interaction with this person. They didn't even have a nod. But the other party called out his name. This proved that the other party had looked up his information!
As for how much he knew, Xiao Zheng didn't know.
At first, he wanted to avoid it because he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. But at this moment, the other party took the initiative to greet him, so he couldn't avoid it.
Slightly turning his head, he looked at the other party with a puzzled expression and asked aloud, "Are you calling me?"
"Yes."
Soon, the middle-aged man slowly approached. He stood in front of Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng looked at him with a very polite gaze, and then looked at the ten men in military uniforms following behind the man. Just based on his sixth sense, Xiao Zheng could roughly tell that this person's identity wasn't ordinary. He was at least a general level officer.
"Do we know each other?" Xiao Zheng hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively.
"Don't we know each other now?" The middle-aged man said with a Smile.
Xiao Zheng nodded and said very calmly with a smile, "Please come in."
With that, he opened the door and invited the middle-aged man into the room.
The other party didn't stand on ceremony and walked straight into the room. But he waved away the ten men in military uniforms who tried to follow him into the room. He had the demeanor of a general.
After entering the room, Xiao Zheng personally served a cup of coffee to the middle-aged man, then slowly sat across from him and asked in a very calm tone, "What can I do for you?"
So far, Xiao Zheng could only determine that the other party was from the military. As for the purpose and intention, he had no idea at all. Even good and evil couldn't be distinguished.
This caused Xiao Zheng to feel a trace of bewilderment and vigilance in his heart.
But he dared to let the other party into the room, and he didn't even mind the ten soldiers following him into the room. This proved that he didn't take the other party seriously. If they were to fight, he was confident that he could take care of everyone in a minute. He wouldn't even hear the sound of gunfire.
But the middle-aged man waved everyone away, which sent a good signal to Xiao Zheng.
Maybe — — he didn't mean any harm?
"I'm sure you can tell. I'm from the military? "The middle-aged man's face was wheat-colored. It wasn't like the pure black chocolate of South Africa.
"Yes." Xiao Zheng nodded and smiled. "Your temperament is awe-inspiring."
"Hahaha." The middle-aged man suddenly laughed. He looked at Xiao Zheng meaningfully. "You really know how to flatter."
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart. Your temperament and appearance reminded me of my old superior in the army. "
"Are you talking about General Jiang?" The middle-aged man asked.
"You know him?" Xiao Zheng was surprised.
The middle-aged man nodded. He then stared at Xiao Zheng and said, "This time, I came to see you because I want to discuss with you about the Skeleton Corps."
As expected!
Xiao Zheng's heart skipped a beat, but his expression didn't change. He asked doubtfully, "Skeleton Corps? What is that? "
Before he could figure out the other party's purpose, Xiao Zheng wouldn't speak nonsense even if he was beaten to death. He was exposed.
"You don't know?" The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips. "Just a few days ago, you killed two high-level leaders of the Skeleton Corps. James and Santa. Don't tell me you don't even know the identity of the people you killed? "
