Xiao Zheng's face remained expressionless, but his body exuded a cold aura.
It was an attitude of hostility!
Xiao Zheng picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. "I was defending myself."
He didn't explain much and only described his actions in a casual manner.
In fact, from Xiao Zheng's point of view, the assassination attempt that night was indeed self-defense. No one could deny that.
The middle-aged man nodded and continued, "I know." "I also know why the Skeleton Corps wanted to deal with you. I even know that your subordinates were kidnapped. Everything was under my control. "
Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows and said unhappily, "If you knew, why didn't you take action?"
"I knew you would take action," the middle-aged man, General Hill, said slowly. "Besides, it was much easier for you to take action than me."
"So you just watched the show?" Xiao Zheng didn't understand General Hill's actions.
What was he going to do?
Wait for me to make a mistake and come out to clean up the mess. Kill me along the way?
If that was the case, Xiao Zheng wouldn't mind assassinating a high-ranking military officer in an unfamiliar place like South Africa!
Perhaps General Hill sensed the murderous intent flowing out of Xiao Zheng's body. A smile appeared on General Hill's face again. "Mr Xiao. If I wanted to deal with you. My bodyguards won't be the ones who will come. It would be a fully armed army. "
After a short pause, General Hill continued, "I've seen your power in the past few days."
Xiao Zheng retracted his murderous intent and took a sip of coffee. "If you have something to say, just say it."
General Hill Smile. "I admire you."
"Thank you." Although he was surprised, Xiao Zheng still expressed his politeness.
"I also admire your style of doing things," General Hill continued.
"Huh?" Xiao Zheng didn't understand what General Hill meant.
"The Skeleton Corps tried to assassinate you. Not only did you successfully resolve the assassination, but you also did it flawlessly. Not only did you not leave any clues for the law enforcement units, but you also dealt with the aftermath well. " You've also done a good job in dealing with the aftermath. "General Hill smiled. "The boss of the hotel has already spoken to the various units. He also explained why the hotel exploded. "
After listening to General Hill's narration, Xiao Zheng was shocked.
It seemed like the information this person knew was much more than he had imagined!
"Can I take everything you've said as a compliment?" Xiao Zheng tried to control his emotions.
"It's a reward," General Hill said slowly. "What we need is stability and unity. It was the fastest way to resolve all worries in the event of an accident. You did it. And he did an outstanding job. "
Xiao Zheng was a little confused.
What was this General Hill doing here?
Flatter me?
After all, he had blown up a building in the city center!
Is this how South Africa does things?
Isn't that a little too rebellious?
"Before I came to find you, I had a confidential meeting with my superiors," General Hill said with a smile.
"Since it's confidential," Xiao Zheng said slowly. "It's probably not convenient for you to tell me, right?"
"It might be a secret to others, but not to you," General Hill said honestly. "Some of them think you're an uncontrollable factor. They want you to disappear. Others think your identity is more sensitive. Disappearing doesn't make sense, but you should be repatriated as soon as possible. "
"So you're here to escort me to the airport?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"The last group, which is represented by me —" General Hill shook his head and smiled. "They think you're a cooperative partner."
"Cooperative?" Xiao Zheng said in disbelief. "You're a high-ranking military official. I'm a businessman whose job is to earn money. How do we cooperate? "
"Different paths. But we have the same goal, "General Hill said with a smile. "Businessmen pay particular attention to amicability. And we, too, hope for the world to be at peace. From this point of view, we have the same goal. "
Xiao Zheng still couldn't understand General Hill's intention. He shook his head and said, "I don't understand."
General Hill started talking and didn't hide anything anymore. He said slowly, "The Skeleton Corps is notorious in Africa. But because of many uncontrollable factors. It has always been active in Africa. It even colluded with the local armed forces — "
After a pause, Hill continued, "It's just like how there's always an endless supply of thieves, robbers, and law-breaking officials in society. We hate it, but we have to admit it. This phenomenon is eternal. No one can completely wipe it out. "
"We can only try our best to control it and take all kinds of measures to suppress it," Hill said slowly. "We don't have the ability to wipe out the Skeleton Corps that is running around the world. We can't recruit them either. So the best way is to strengthen management and control. Try not to make any mistakes. Not to affect the stability and harmony of society. "
"You can control and manage the Skeleton Corps?" Xiao Zheng asked tentatively.
"I can't. Not in the whole of South Africa, "General Hill said word by word. "But now, you can."
"This is the specific matter of our cooperation with you." General Hill smiled. "Are you willing to accept?"
"I'm sorry," Xiao Zheng rejected. "I'm afraid I can't cooperate with you."
"Why?" General Hill was surprised.
The fact that he proposed to cooperate was definitely giving Xiao Zheng enough face. He had even fought for it during the confidential meeting. Similarly, as long as Xiao Zheng was willing to cooperate, he would definitely reap countless benefits. General Hill could assure him of that.
"Because the Skeleton Corps no longer exists," Xiao Zheng shook his head and said calmly.
"No longer exists?" General Hill frowned and said unhappily. "Mr. Xiao, I admire you, but please don't treat me like an idiot."
"I'm just stating a fact. I didn't mean to insult General Hill, "Xiao Zheng said in a serious manner. "In fact, the Skeleton Corps no longer exists since three days ago."
General Hill frowned and said, "Mr. Xiao, do you know? The premise of our cooperation with you is the Skeleton Corps. If you say that the Skeleton Corps no longer exists, then our cooperation will end. Then our cooperation will also come to an end. "
"Other than the termination of the cooperation, you still want to settle the score? Is that so? "Xiao Zheng squinted his eyes.
"I will try my best to plead on your behalf," General Hill said meaningfully.
"Thank you in advance," Xiao Zheng said with a faint smile.
General Hill could not sit still when he saw Xiao Zheng's expression.
Of course, he did not believe that the Skeleton Corps no longer existed. In fact, the Skeleton Corps did not stop for the past few days. Instead, it became more frequent. This made General Hill believe that these fugitives must have some big plan!
However, he was helpless when Xiao Zheng said so. He did not know how to respond.
Settle the score?
He would not. He did not dare to.
Since General Hill knew about the relationship between Xiao Zheng and General Jiang, it would not be difficult for him to understand the close relationship between Xiao Zheng and the Long Formation.
Offending the entire Long Formation over this small conflict? Even the countless powerful figures in the land of Hua Xia?
General Hill was not a person who acted on impulse. What he wanted was the best of both worlds, a happy ending for everyone. He did not want both sides to suffer!
