Volume 1: The Fierce Tiger Leaves Its Leash Chapter 11: Stirring Up Waves Again (Part 1)

  After receiving the message, Zhou Guohui, who had not slept for two days and two nights, first let out a sigh of relief. Then, he asked someone to confirm the received message again. After being tortured for two days, Zhou Guohui would question any report first.

  "General, it's confirmed. No. 1 and No. 2 have both been found. No. 1 is in a slightly unstable condition, while No. 2 is fine except for being a bit weak."

  "Arrange for them to withdraw as soon as possible." Zhou Guohui picked up a cigarette, "Also, send the message to the Premier's Mansion and let Assistant Wang also breathe a sigh of relief."

  After the secretary left, Zhou Guohui plopped down on the sofa. Ling Tianxiang was already safe and sound with Gu Weimin taking care of him, so there shouldn't be any major issues. As his mood relaxed, Zhou Guohui suddenly burst out laughing. If Ling Tianxiang were in front of him right now, he really wanted to give that rascal a good scolding.

  After receiving the call, Wang Yilin also breathed a sigh of relief. For him, apart from Ling Tianxiang's safe escape and being able to settle accounts with Huang Longfei, the most important thing was that the US would no longer be able to obtain conclusive evidence to accuse the Republic of taking secret military action against the US military in Afghanistan.

  "Wang, the assistant, the US Embassy called again and asked us..."

  "Tell them I'm busy right now." Wang Yilin's attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn.

  The secretary stared at Wang Yilin in shock, two hours ago, Wang Yilin had just asked her to contact the US embassy, and his attitude was completely different from this.

  "No, can't say that." Wang Yilin rubbed his forehead, "Let me think, is the US embassy pressing urgently?"

  The secretary nodded slightly in a daze, and the phone hadn't even been hung up yet.

  Wang Yilin walked back and forth in the room for a few laps, finally stopping beside his secretary and said: "Just say that, no, I'll say it myself, you get on the phone."

  The secretary felt relieved and immediately went out to bring in the phone call.

  "Schreiber Ambassador, I am Wang Yilin." This was said with a tone that was neither arrogant nor humble. "Regarding the matters you mentioned yesterday, we have conducted an in-depth investigation."

  There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and presumably the US ambassador also realized that things had taken a huge turn.

  "After our thorough investigation, we finally confirmed that the cross-border military actions you mentioned do not exist." Wang Yilin said this with great confidence, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, without any falsehood. "The special forces unit you mentioned is currently in our camp, if Your Excellency has time and doesn't mind the long journey, I can accompany you to the camp for an on-site inspection, do you know when you will be able to arrange a time?"

  "Assistant Wang, I will carefully consider your proposal. However, I haven't received the schedule yet. Once I've arranged it, I'll definitely go with Mr. Wang. Thank you again for Mr. Wang's invitation." The American ambassador's tone became much stiffer and was no longer as overbearing as before.

  "No problem, I'll be waiting for your call at any time. After all, we are a country of friendship and goodwill. This small matter is not worth mentioning!"

  After hanging up the phone, Wang Yilin let out a sigh of relief and showed a rare smile. From Ambassador Schuyler's words, it can be seen that the US government, even the US military, has not fully grasped the situation at the front line. This is very good news, by the time the US military reacts, those troops who have penetrated deep into enemy territory will have already withdrawn.

  After calming down, Wang Yilin thought of another thing and immediately picked up the phone. Before he could dial the number, his secretary rushed in through the door.

  "What's going on?" Wang Yilin didn't like it when people burst in without greeting him, and his secretary was no exception.

  "Look at the news!"

  When the secretary turned on the TV in front of the bookcase, Wang Yilin put down the phone in his hand.

  At the same time, in the Presidential Suite of Islamabad Holiday Inn, Li Minghan also turned on the TV, while Huang Long was slowly and carefully trimming his cigar.

  "...Half an hour ago, the Taliban organization's spokesperson issued a statement online, claiming that the explosion at the Zabul US military base was carried out by a certain armed force of the Taliban and took full responsibility for it. In addition, the spokesperson also declared that the anti-US armed struggle will not stop because of this, but rather is a call to all Afghan people to rise up against the invaders and the beginning signal of resistance against tyranny in the future..."

  Li Minghan nodded and smiled at Huang Longfei. "It seems that Ajali's actions are quite fast, it's been less than an hour. I was thinking, did they prepare the relevant speeches in advance, otherwise..."

  "It doesn't matter." Huang Longfei picked up the cigar, and Li Minghan immediately handed over the lighter. After taking two puffs, Huang Longfei continued, "The most important thing now is whether Tian Xiang has escaped or not. If he has successfully escaped, then this statement will be a termination mark. If it's completely the opposite, then this statement will only become a laughing stock, and even a handle."

  Li Minghan fully understood what Huang Longfei meant, Ling Tianxiang and that Wei Daming could escape safely was the most critical part of the whole problem.

  Huang Longfei touched his forehead, and in this hour, he didn't think about Ling Tianxiang's affairs, but instead kept thinking about what he said to Ajali. It can be said that the few words Huang Longfei said in front of Ajali were all hinting at something, and they all left room for retreat. After mixing in the business world for over a decade, being able to leap to become the country's richest tycoon is the most basic ability, and also the most necessary ability. Just like Huang Longfei was worried about, if things developed to the most severe degree, then his words must have room for explanation, or else he would end up getting burned by the fire himself.

  "Huang, you've been going for a whole day without rest, and yet..." Li Minghan's words were cut off as the phone placed between the two sofas rang. He hesitated for a moment before picking up the receiver. "Yes, I am, I know, okay, I'll pass it on immediately."

  When Li Minghan put down the microphone, Huang Longfei's gaze had already shifted onto him.

  "Good news, Ling Tianxiang and Wei Daming have been found. Tianxiang is fine and safe now, and they will probably return home before nightfall."

  Huang Longfei's hand holding the cigar froze in mid-air, and then he stood up. "Let's return to our country immediately!"

  This time, Li Minghan didn't wait for Huang Longfei's instructions and immediately went out to arrange the matters of returning home. The sharp blade rolled away, a fierce tiger unbridled, Chapter 11: Another Wave Rises (Part 1)
