"Where is Xie Feize now?" Zuo Meiyan asked. "If that's the case, I believe you've already contacted him."
Lin Ge nodded. "He's on his way here. He knows Muto Ichiro's lair better than any of us. We need to wait for him to arrive and understand the situation before we proceed with the next step of our plan. The enemy isn't easy to deal with, and Hei Zhong's forces aren't that simple. "
"Know thyself and know thy enemy." Lin Sihai said. "This has been an unchanging law for thousands of years. Since you've managed to invite someone who knows the enemy so well, I'm sure we won't lose this battle. Xu Yun, the Baoyu Team has been doing everything we can to protect Hua Xia's homeland. I'm sure you can do it. "
"President, the person in the most danger right now is actually you." Xu Yun said. "Leng Chen and Muto Ichiro have already made contact. If I'm not mistaken, Leng Chen's first target will be you. We need to gather all our forces to deal with Muto Ichiro and his Hei Zhong forces. If Leng Chen comes after you at this time … "
Lin Sihai laughed. "Even if Leng Chen doesn't come after me, I'll lure him out when you go after them. This is called luring the tiger away from the mountain. If Leng Chen, an Earth Profound Realm expert, is helping you, I don't dare bet on you winning. I have a suggestion, but I don't know if it's credible. "
"President Lin, just say it," Zuo Meiyan said. She basically understood Lin Sihai's meaning.
"Before you go to the open sea, I'll ask Leng Chen out." Lin Sihai said. "Given my relationship with him and the fact that he's making a deal with Muto Ichiro, I'm sure he'll take the bait easily. When you reach the open sea, you'll only have to face Muto Ichiro and his Hei Zhong forces. This way, your chances of winning will increase by at least fifty percent. However, if Leng Chen is there, I don't think you'll have a chance against two of the current seven kings. "
Wu Yuandong panicked. "How can that be?! President, the deal between Leng Chen and Muto Ichiro must be for him to wipe out all the members of the Bodyguard Team. You are the highest leader of the Bodyguard Team. If you meet Leng Chen alone, he will definitely … "
"Leng Chen and I have been friends for many years. You should believe me. I will try my best to persuade him." Lin Sihai said, "Even if he really wants to kill me, he won't be able to do it in a short time. If you can defeat Muto Ichiro's Heitsuka Unit in the meantime, you might be able to make it back in time. "
Not only did Wu Yuandong disagree, but Long Lianghui and Di Zihang also disagreed, "President, we definitely can't let you take such a big risk. Once Leng Chen comes here, you and the eldest miss will be in danger. We definitely won't leave you even half a step."
"If you don't participate in this operation, it will have a great impact on Xu Yun's combat effectiveness." Lin Sihai said: "So you must go! I'll take care of my own matters. Of course, I can't let the young miss be in danger with me. I can't let Leng Chen come here. I have my own plan. You don't have to say anything. "
Xu Yun really didn't expect Lin Sihai to make such a decision. To put it bluntly, Lin Sihai made this decision with the idea of risking his life. The moment he said that he wanted to meet Leng Chen alone, he didn't even think about living anymore.
"President Lin, this really can't be done." Xu Yun said, "Your safety concerns the entire Three Lotus Association and the entire Bodyguard Group. I don't agree with you taking this risk."
Lin Sihai looked at Xu Yun seriously. "Xu Yun, I know you are very outstanding and very capable. You have encountered many difficulties in the past, but in the end, you were able to solve them all. But you have to believe me. I'm old enough to be your father. There are some words that I only said after careful consideration. You may not like to hear this, but if you see me as your father, then you should consider what I'm saying. You are the core of their group and their leader. If you can't make rational decisions and influence the overall situation for your personal feelings, then what about them? "
Xu Yun was silent. It wasn't until this moment that he truly admired Lin Sihai. No wonder he was the president of the Three Lotus Association and had made it so big. No wonder he was the leader of the Bodyguard Group and so many patriots admired and respected him. It was because he had a better view of the overall situation than any of them.
"If you take so many people to risk your life just because you are worried about my old life, you will regret it. You will regret it. " Lin Sihai said, "In fact, you know very well that when Muto Ichiro and Leng Chen are both present, your chances of winning are almost zero. I'm not doubting your ability or Xie Feize's ability, but you also know very well that these two people are as famous as Lin Ge's master Lu Xuanji. They are both members of the Seven Kings! "
Xu Yun fell silent. He did have the attitude of gambling his life. In his opinion, it was a good result to die together with them. It was just that he didn't want to admit it. He thought there would be a way out when the time came.
But Lin Sihai's words woke Xu Yun up. They were on the high seas, and there was no room for luck. No one would know what happened there. There was a slim chance of survival. If Lin Sihai could send Leng Chen away, their chances of winning would indeed greatly increase. Even though Muto Ichiro's strength was far higher than his, he was still a person who had stepped into the Grandmaster Realm. Needless to say, Xie Feize's strength was obviously not below Xu Yun's.
If the two of them worked together, they might be able to fight Muto Ichiro. The others were led by Lin Ge. Zuo Meiyan was strong, Chou Yeon was brave enough to risk her life, and Zuo Yeming and Wang Ze were not to be trifled with. Little Dongbei was smart and could be the X factor in their victory at the critical moment. Wu Yuandong, Long Lianghui, and Di Zihang were no weaker than Hei Zhong's troops.
There was still a chance of survival in such a battle …
As long as Leng Chen joined the fray, they would be defeated. Even if Leng Chen was injured, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse! This was an unchanging truth.
Other than Xu Yun, the others fell silent. No one wanted things to turn out this way. No one wanted Lin Sihai to gamble with his life on this matter.
"If you gamble with your lives, you will lose," Lin Sihai said. "If I gamble with my life, there is still a chance of survival. I believe you can come back to help me after you defeat Muto Ichiro. You should also believe that I have the confidence to hold Leng Chen back. As long as I can hold on until you come back, we will win. "
Wu Yuandong turned around. At this moment, there was nothing he could do. He wanted to bang his head against the wall to wake himself up.
Xu Yun knew he had to make a decision, but it was hard for him to make it. His respect for Lin Sihai had reached a whole new level. In Xu Yun's eyes, Lin Sihai wasn't just the president of the Three Lotus Society, Lin Suyin's father, or the leader of the Bodyguard Team. He was someone who would sacrifice his life for the greater good of the nation!
Xu Yun couldn't bring himself to sacrifice such a person's life in exchange for their victory.
But now that things had come to this, he had no other choice.
"Xu Yun, the fact that we left everything behind to come here with you shows that we trust you to make the right decision." Zuo Meiyan said, "I know you, and I know it's very difficult for you to make such a decision. President Lin's righteousness will make it even harder for you to make a decision. But we all know that President Lin's suggestion is our only hope of winning! Every one of us here, since we've chosen to do this with you, we've already thrown our lives behind us. President Lin has made the same decision as we have. "
Xu Yun knew everything that Zuo Meiyan had said, but at this moment, he just wanted to calm down.
"Xu Yun, put away your indecisiveness. Miss Zuo is right. I'm just making the same decision as everyone else, "Lin Sihai said. "You're willing to throw your lives away. I'm just doing the same thing. Don't think I'm brave just because I'm older. You're the real heroes. I'm just doing what I can. That's all. "
"President, I'm sorry," Xu Yun said. "You're already so old, but you're still willing to risk your life for us."
Lin Sihai smiled. "It's good that you made the right choice. Since that's the case, it's decided. Once you're ready, I'll contact Leng Chen. Trust me, I'll be able to hold him back. "
Di Zihang found it hard to accept. He glanced at Wu Yuandong. "Brother Dong, say something! You're the vice president of the Three Lotus Society. You can't just stand by and watch the president make such a decision! He'll really lose his life because of this! "
"I … support the president's decision," Wu Yuandong said. When he said this, his heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife. That kind of grief was not something an ordinary person could understand or bear.
Di Zihang was stunned. "You …" He could only look at Long Lianghui with hope.
Long Lianghui also lowered his head. He didn't know where he should stand to look at this problem. However, he had been with Lin Sihai for so many years. Every decision Lin Sihai made was made with the bigger picture in mind. He respected him and didn't dare to disobey. However, he really didn't know how to deal with this matter.
"No matter what you think, I won't agree!" Di Zihang said. "I won't let the president come in contact with Leng Chen alone! If you want to go, you can go. I won't go! Even if I die, I'll die with the president! I know the president's decision is right, and I know I'm wrong. However, I can't leave the president behind! I can't care about that anymore! "
"Shut up!" Lin Sihai scolded. "If you're still the leader of the Three Lotus Society, don't say such irresponsible things! Zihang, you've been with me for so many years. You should know that no one can change my decision! No matter if you stay or go with them to the high seas, you'll face death. However, the meaning is different. If you're still a member of the Three Lotus Society, if you still know that I'm the president, then be a man. Even if you die, you must die with meaning! Don't die with me. Even if you die, you must die on the battlefield! Be a man! "
Di Zihang was a man of steel. He didn't know what tears tasted like. But now, his eyes were red and he couldn't control his emotions.
"I don't need any of you. I can do what I'm supposed to do." Lin Sihai said. "No matter when, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must do our jobs. This is what I told you when you joined the Three Lotus Society. If you can't do it, you're no longer a member of the Three Lotus Society."
