Threatened, Lü Ganghu made a move to attack, but was stopped by Chen Xiangshan beside him.
" Second Lieutenant Yun, what is your purpose in trying to stop my team's operation?" Chen Xiangshan asked.
"We've heard about your undercover mission in Japan, including your affair with Miss Saegusa Family. Second Lieutenant Yun, you wouldn't happen to be..." Chen Xiangshan stopped mid-sentence, because he saw a mocking look on Yunyi's face.
"Speak up, why are you stopping? Are you trying to say that I abandoned my undercover mission for the sake of the Saegusa Family's daughter, or even that I've betrayed my country?" Yunyi chuckled.
"It's okay, just say it. I won't get angry."
"I do have such concerns, but it seems Second Lieutenant Yun doesn't seem to be aware of them?" Chen Xiangshan countered.
"Talking about self-awareness, you'll only have that kind of realization after you've actually betrayed someone," Yunyi sighed.
"The only reason I stopped your plan is because it's doomed to fail. You probably won't believe me, but it's true. But you've prepared for so long, I can't let you get nothing in return, can I? I've prepared a little something for you, take a look."
After saying that, Yunyi's hand trembled, and a stack of paper documents appeared in his hand.
Across the conference table, Yunyi tossed the item directly to Chen Xiangshan across from him.
Chen Xiangshan caught the documents Yunyi tossed to him and casually glanced through them. But what he saw really startled him.
These documents record some of the most advanced magical research findings.
"These things!?" Chen Xiangshan was somewhat surprised and uncertain. He had a vague guess, but dared not make a statement.
"These are all the latest achievements from Japan, and they should be similar to the targets you're planning to invade and steal." Yunyi shrugged.
"Actually, I'm quite puzzled too. I'm just an undercover agent at First High School, so getting these things shouldn't be difficult for me. If you wanted to, you could just tell me through your contact in Japan. Why bother planning an infiltration? It's a thankless task, isn't it? And if things go wrong, you'll all be wiped out there, which will also affect my continued undercover work. It's not worth it at all!"
Hearing this, Chen Xiangshan's middle-aged face flushed slightly. Damn it, they had painstakingly planned for so long, and were almost ready to act, only to have their prize casually tossed to them as a gift. He didn't even know how to describe his feelings.
"However, as Special Operations Team, I can understand Captain Chen's desire to make a name for himself. But Japan is indeed not a suitable place for you to carry out your operations, what do you think, Captain Chen?" Yunyi asked with a smile.
Chen Xiangshan was now conflicted. Their objective was to infiltrate the Japan magic branch and steal confidential research findings. This was a one-off operation; whether it would succeed was uncertain, and even how much useful information they could obtain was unknown. However, the things Yunyi brought back were all valuable to the development of magic within the alliance. Comparing the two, he didn't really think they should continue with the operation. After all, a one-off operation was nothing compared to a long-term, sustainable strategy!
After a moment of silence, Chen Xiangshan sighed, "I understand. I will terminate the operation."
"Hmm, it seems Captain Chen is quite righteous. It wasn't for nothing that I came all this way to meet you. However, I have something I'd like to ask Captain Chen to do. I wonder if Captain Chen would be interested?" Yunyi said.
"Oh? Second Lieutenant Yun, what is it? Please speak frankly." Chen Xiangshan became somewhat interested. This young man hadn't had much contact with the other teams, so why did he suddenly have something to ask of them?
" Captain Chen should be well aware of the state of conflict between the United States and its neighboring countries, so I won't go into details. My undercover work in Japan will likely continue for some time, so I can handle the Japan gathering there. The relationship between Russia and the United States is currently stable, and their conflict with Japan is even more serious, so there's no need to worry for now. But things aren't so peaceful in the south, don't you think, Captain Chen?" Yunyi reminded Chen Xiangshan.
" Second Lieutenant Yun, are you trying to shift our team's focus to India?" Chen Xiangshan asked rhetorically.
"That's right. I hope Captain Chen can lead a team to infiltrate India and conduct intelligence gathering. As for research results, don't be too demanding. I wonder if Captain Chen would be willing to accept such a task?"
Upon hearing Yunyi's question, Chen Xiangshan pondered for a moment before agreeing.
"Sure, my team can accept this commission. But Second Lieutenant Yun, if the situation between the United States and India becomes tense, won't that give Japan an opportunity?" Chen Xiangshan asked.
"With me here, Captain Chen, there's no need to worry. By the way, the mission to India can be put on hold for a while. It won't be long before I have a new batch of weapons to equip Captain Chen's team. I think those things won't disappoint Captain Chen," Yunyi reminded him with a smile.
"Then I'll await Second Lieutenant Yun's good news," Chen Xiangshan replied.
After Yunyi left, Lü Ganghu slammed his hand on the conference room table. The sturdy round table shattered into pieces with his blow, while Chen Xiangshan simply watched him vent his anger. Only after Lü Gang quieted down did Chen Xiangshan speak, "Did you vent your anger?"
"Hmm," Lü Ganghu said sullenly.
"His coming to us proves we still have value to him. And that's a good thing for us. As for his attitude, do you think someone who dares to threaten members of parliament with magic at a government meeting, who dares to uproot this ' Stick Faction overnight, needs to play games with us?"
"Let's go, we should go back and discuss our strategy. India is also a good target," Chen Xiangshan.
After leaving the combat center, Yunyi went straight back to Xiaoxue's house. But as soon as he entered, he saw that the house had been ransacked.
"Holy crap? A thief has broken in!?" Yunyi exclaimed.
"You're the thief! You're the thief!! Your whole family are thieves!!!" Xiaoxue's resentful voice came from the room, clearly having heard Yunyi's exclamation.
Yunyi raised an eyebrow, took out his phone, switched to the recording interface, and said to Xiaoxue, "Come on, please repeat what you just said. I'll record it and send it to Sister Yi to see if she'll skin you alive."
"Get out of my way! You bastard! You're making me so angry! Nana, beat him up!" Xiaoxue was furious and ordered her boyfriend to confront Yunyi.
However, upon hearing her furious shouts, Anna, sitting on the sofa, simply rolled her eyes. She hadn't known Yunyi before and hadn't thought much of him. But after meeting him today, she'd subtly learned some things about Yunyi from Xiaoxue. Knowing all that, why was she still going to confront him? Did she think she had too much time on her hands and wanted to shorten it?
