Chapter 597 - 595: Reception
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yufei’s feelings were somewhat complicated, but this time, she had to fight. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be content.
Whether for the future of the police station or for her own career, this time, she must, by all means, eliminate the Earth Dragon Organization and stop it from harming the world.
After composing herself, Zhang Yufei began to gear up and set out. It’s now one o’clock in the afternoon, and it’ll take about an hour to reach the Earth Dragon camp.
Now she can contact their liaison person; otherwise, rushing there by herself will definitely lead to obstruction.
"Hello, is this President Peng?" Zhang Yufei asked after getting through on the phone.
"Haha, so it’s Miss Chen Lin, are you coming to inspect the factory today? We’re ready to pick you up," President Peng said with a smile. He just secured a big order, and Miss Li was praising him.
Obviously a million; if the cooperation goes well, there will be tens of millions, billions of orders in the future, making the Earth Dragon’s leadership jubilant.
"Yes, I’m already equipped. I’m at the hotel now, you can come to pick me up," Zhang Yufei said lightly with a smile.
"Okay, I’ll send someone over right away, and then we’ll head to Earth Dragon together," President Peng replied with a satisfied smile.
Less than twenty minutes after the two hung up the phone, a black Audi stopped downstairs at the hotel where Zhang Yufei was. Soon, Zhang Yufei received a call from President Peng and shortly went down the stairs, and the three of them went to Earth Dragon together.
Meanwhile, Xue Kong’s pickup vehicle was also parked at the airport, waiting for Xue Kong to get off the plane. The person picking up was Earth Dragon’s fourth-in-command, Peng Wanli.
Hu Fei received the news and immediately instructed Peng Wanli to go to the airport for reception, of course, accompanied by two subordinates to help with luggage and similar tasks.
"Master Xue has arrived, I am Peng Wanli, here to pick you up."
Peng Wanli immediately recognized Xue Kong, and before coming, he had seen Peng Wanli’s photo. Knowing Xue Kong’s prowess, he was very respectful.
The man was a master of seven stars from the Yellow Dao, while they were merely five-star from the Yellow Dao, and their boss Hu Fei was no match. How could they dare to offend him?
Moreover, this was someone from their headquarters coming; if they weren’t hospitable, would they still want to keep their positions?
Earth Dragon hadn’t explicitly stated it was a small division under the Black Alliance, but everyone understood; for so many years, it stood strong because of the Black Alliance’s worldwide intimidation.
Otherwise, a one or two thousand-member organization surviving so long would be a joke; it would’ve been eradicated by the police long ago. So, Peng Wanli dared not neglect, hurried to welcome Xue Kong upon his arrival.
However, Xue Kong was inherently the type who didn’t like to talk much; his personality somewhat resembled Chen Tianlong. If he liked someone, he’d talk endlessly; if someone flattered him, he’d just grin and not say much, simply getting into the car.
Peng Wanli felt frustrated; he had traveled a great distance thinking he’d get a reward, only to be coldly treated by Xue Kong, making him feel utterly vexed.
With Xue Kong not speaking, they dared not say much either, so Peng Wanli could only miserably drive ahead, occasionally saying a few words, but Xue Kong just nodded or shook his head, never saying a word.
Were it not for having Xue Kong’s exact information, Peng Wanli would’ve thought he was mute.
Thus, they drove for two hours without speaking, almost reaching the Earth Dragon Organization. Around ten kilometers ahead of them, a black Audi was speeding towards Earth Dragon.
The people in the car were, of course, President Peng and Zhang Yufei. Zhang Yufei wasn’t aware, though, that they were already in danger.
Only the Red-eyed Eagle might truly understand what kind of person Xue Kong was; he was meticulous, even surpassing Chen Tianlong. If Xue Kong arrived, Zhang Yufei’s plan could very well be discovered, so danger was inching closer.
"President Peng, why is it taking so long to arrive?" Zhang Yufei was clearly anxious and asked.
"Haha, Miss Chen, no need to rush, we’ll be there soon, there are approximately three kilometers left. Once we reach the entrance, there will naturally be specialized reception staff to meet us, you can relax," President Peng said with a smile.
"Oh, I see, thank you."
Wearing large sunglasses, President Peng couldn’t see her expression and wasn’t aware of her specific situation, truly thinking it was just impatience from the long ride?
Actually, it was Zhang Yufei feeling nervous, experiencing the first-ever tension in her life due to the complexity of this mission, making her feel pressured.
"No need to thank; that’s only proper. This town is a bit far from Earth Dragon, over two hours’ drive. It’s precisely because it’s remote that it’s safer. Miss Li, you’ve also been in this business, so you should understand what I’m saying."
President Peng didn’t elaborate; everyone knew that such matters needed to be kept in the dark, the more hidden the better, preferably where no one knew the location; then manufacturing anything wouldn’t matter.
Indeed, within ten minutes, Zhang Yufei was already delivered to the entrance of the Earth Dragon Organization.
When she got out of the car, her eyes widened; it was a vast canyon with continuously stretching rocks on both sides, and there’s a plaque set up at the entrance with eight people obviously standing guard under it.
"Who’s in front, daring to trespass into our Earth Dragon Stronghold, do you have a death wish?"
The leader was a middle-aged man with a full beard, resembling Li Kui from Water Margin, though his complexion wasn’t that dark, his face showed similar demeanor.
"Brothers, I’m Peng Li from the External Liaison Department, please inform your boss Hu Fei, I’ve brought clients over, let them send someone to meet us."
President Peng had completed many transactions; the person not recognizing him was somewhat frustrating, but he seemed to be a newly promoted minor leader, not recognizing him was understandable.
"Oh, so it’s from the External Liaison Department? Then wait a moment; I’ll send someone to inform. If it’s true, we’ll naturally let you in." Though the man relaxed his guard, his facial expression unchanged, as if saying, "What’s so great about the External Liaison Department, I’m still the gate-keeping general."
"Okay, better hurry, the scheduled matters are approaching." Seeing things were smooth, President Peng thought of asking Miss Li to clean them up if they weren’t.
About five minutes later, Liu Qi arrived with people; seeing the black Audi not far from the gate, he immediately recognized it and hurried over, saying: "Ah, so President Peng arrived, a warm welcome. And this must be Boss Chen? Please come with me."
"Haha, Miss Chen, you just follow the fourth-in-command; he is the fourth of the Earth Dragon Five Brothers, Liu Qi."
After the introduction, President Peng directly said to Zhang Yufei and Liu Qi, "Alright, my task is complete; I need to get back to work. Miss Chen, if you have any questions, you can directly ask Liu Qi, and he’ll patiently explain anything you’re unclear about."
