Chapter 307: The Demand
Chang Ning is the core of this plan and needs to go abroad pretending to be a mercenary to fill the gaps in the plan.
Abroad is not like domestic; if something unexpected happens, they won’t have time to rescue him, and once abroad, all difficulties must be overcome by Chang Ning himself.
“The plan has been reorganized according to your ideas. This is the new version. Take another careful look and make sure to memorize it thoroughly.”
Gao Zhong Dui took a printed plan from his briefcase and placed it in Chang Ning’s hands.
This plan is the only printed copy; after Chang Ning leaves Wolf Fang, this plan will also be destroyed.
The two arrived at the entrance of He Da Dui’s office, and Chang Ning had already read the plan in his hand from beginning to end and memorized it thoroughly.
Gao Zhong Dui knocked on the door, and after getting permission from He Da Dui, he opened the door and let Chang Ning behind him come forward.
Next, he wouldn’t accompany Chang Ning inside; the mission details would be explained to Chang Ning by He Da Dui.
The process would also intersperse some top-secret intelligence personally held by He Da Dui; his current level wasn’t high enough, so he couldn’t go in to listen.
“You’re here.”
He Da Dui sat behind the desk, closed the document, looked up at Chang Ning who was standing straight.
Looking at this young man who was the most talented since the establishment of Wolf Fang Special Forces Detachment, and also the successor he had chosen in his heart.
Recalling Chang Ning’s past, He Da Dui felt both proud and gratified in his heart.
“You know clearly that the next mission won’t be easy for you.
Right now in this office, there are only you and me, no outsiders.
You don’t need to hold back. As your leader, I want to hear your true thoughts; I want to hear the truth.”
“Yes, Captain.”
Seeing He Da Dui’s demeanor as if he wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk, Chang Ning quickly responded.
The plan was already complete; now it just needed to be put into action.
And he was the one designated by Miao Lian to carry out the plan. Even without mentioning any worries, even if he had such worries, saying them now wouldn’t change the personnel.
But when it’s time to cry, you still have to cry; a crying child gets the milk.
He Da Dui had already handed him the opening, so if he didn’t take the chance to ask boldly, it would be wasting He Da Dui’s good intentions.
“This mission was personally assigned to me by Miao Lian. According to the plan, I’ll spend half the time abroad.
Captain, you know me; I’ve never been abroad.
So on the intelligence side, I’ll definitely be completely in the dark. So, you see, isn’t there…”
He Zhijun saw Chang Ning stop the topic there and immediately guessed the little scheme in Chang Ning’s mind.
He wasn’t afraid of his subordinates making requests to him; he was afraid of the kind that wouldn’t fart after three beatings.
Someone like Chang Ning who boldly made conditions—anyone with eyes could see this was reliable.
Regardless of whether the matter could be done, just this attitude alone could put one at ease.
Since he dared to make requests, it meant that for Chang Ning, this mission should be something he was confident about.
“You boy, just say it if you have something to say. What’s with the hemming and hawing, pretending to be garlic here!”
He Zhijun pointed at Chang Ning and laughed scoldingly.
Seeing this, Chang Ning stopped pretending. He didn’t stand on ceremony with He Da Dui and directly asked boldly: “Since you’ve said so, Captain, it wouldn’t be polite for me to continue being courteous with you…”
Before Chang Ning finished speaking, He Zhijun’s expression changed: “That’s what you say, but I still need to give you boy a heads-up.
You can make requests, but you’d better make some practical ones, within my authority.
Anything beyond Wolf Fang’s authority, even if you ask, I can’t agree.”
With He Da Dui’s words, Chang Ning knew his little thoughts had been seen through, so he had to honestly state his request.
“Cough cough…
Captain, what are you saying? Am I that kind of person in your eyes?”
“Don’t bullshit me; say it or get out!
I don’t have time to bullshit with you; give you a bit of sunshine and you blossom!”
He Zhijun said sternly with a dark face. If he didn’t ramp up the pressure on Chang Ning, this boy could still drag it out with him.
“Captain, as the saying goes, before the troops move, logistics come first. I’ll be all alone abroad with no one to turn to. So, on the intelligence side, can you take care of it?”
Chang Ning sidled up to He Zhijun with a shameless face, looking at the Captain with full flattery.
Hearing Chang Ning’s request, He Zhijun’s suspended heart finally settled, and his whole body relaxed a lot.
He had thought Chang Ning was going to make some difficult request.
No wonder Chang Ning caught He Zhijun’s eye—just based on the request he made today, if He Zhijun didn’t give Chang Ning Wolf Fang’s most presentable setup, he wouldn’t have the face to face him in the future.
“For intelligence, I’ll assign you Wolf Fang’s intelligence personnel in America.
But you boy, don’t just try to save me trouble. This mission is different from before. While I haven’t reported it up yet, you can make another request.”
He Zhijun reminded him earnestly. Compared to the mission, he valued Chang Ning as a person more.
Talents are rare!
Wolf Fang with Chang Ning and Wolf Fang without him were two different things.
Facing He Zhijun’s hint, Chang Ning didn’t know what to say.
Actually, with Wolf Fang’s current scale, the help it could provide him overseas was very limited; what Wolf Fang couldn’t solve would have to be reported to the Military Region.
But whether the Military Region could spare resources was an unknown.
Moreover, the mission he was to carry out focused on the Ma Family Criminal Group led by Ma Shichang domestically; abroad, he was just putting on a show to perfect his profile.
As long as he didn’t court death, he generally wouldn’t be in mortal danger.
So if he made some hard-to-fulfill requests, the Military Region leaders simply wouldn’t approve.
The words He Da Dui said earlier might be for show to comfort him, or they might be sincere.
But whether sincere or for show, Chang Ning still appreciated his sentiment.
At least He Da Dui was willing to put on a show with him, rather than treating him as a stepping stone upward.
“He Da Dui, don’t joke. The focus of this mission isn’t abroad; those activities abroad are all smoke grenades to mislead the Ma Family.
If I make hard-to-fulfill requests, not to mention whether Wolf Fang can provide resources, the Military Region leaders alone won’t approve it.”
Chang Ning smiled wryly; he still had that much sense.
“Don’t talk that nonsense. As long as you make a request, I’ll find a way to get the leader to agree.
If it really doesn’t work, I’ll even stake my face to guarantee for you.”
He Zhijun patted Chang Ning’s shoulder with a serious face.
He was really afraid of Chang Ning running into problems abroad; if it were domestic, he wouldn’t need to worry so much.
Domestically, no matter where, he was confident he could cover for Chang Ning, but abroad, he was beyond reach.
“He Da Dui, really no need.
This mission, my going abroad is all on expense tourism; as long as I don’t stir up trouble.”
Chang Ning said pretending to be relaxed.
This was his first time going abroad on a mission, and during the abroad period, it was all solo action, including selecting mission targets and formulating plans—all done by him alone.
It would be impossible to say there was no pressure.
But on these things, there were few places where Wolf Fang and the Military Region could help him; everything had to rely on himself.
