Volume 1: The Fierce Tiger Leaves Its Leash Chapter 25: Turning a Plan into Another (Part 2)

  After listening to Luo's introduction of the second method, Ling Tianxiang felt that his ears were not working properly. He couldn't help but say: "This can't be done, it's simply making a joke out of the lives of the 'Snow Leopard' troops, absolutely cannot do this..."

  "Tianxiang, sit down!" Before Luo Chuzhang could speak, Zhou Guohui had already rebuked Ling Tianxiang.

  Lu's expression was also very awkward, after all, his proposed method was quite risky.

  "Luo Chuzhang, how can you guarantee that this method will be successful? Moreover," Zhou Guohui's expression was also very serious, "how can we ensure the safety of my subordinates?"

  "General Zhou, in a military operation there is no such thing as safety, this is an act of war, not a pleasure trip."

  "Alright, so how can we minimize the risk to the lowest level?" Zhou Guohui changed his tone, mentioning safety in a military operation was indeed a bit unreasonable, after all, every year there were hundreds of soldiers injured or killed during training and exercises.

  "First of all, we will cooperate with the troops with all our might and do a good job in keeping secrets."

  Zhou Guohui just slightly nodded, this sentence is as good as not said, and it should be the "Snow Leopard" team cooperating with the intelligence department.

  "Secondly, after this period of investigation, we have basically identified the three most suspicious targets." Director Luo was also observing Zhou Guohui's expression. "Before taking action, I will inform these three people of any day within three days before the formal action date, and then arrange for special forces to closely monitor the actions of the US military. So, on which day the US military takes action, we can determine who is the traitor. If conditions do not permit, we can also cancel the action, after all, the information we have now is enough, there is no need to catch a few more people."

  Zhou Guohui fell into deep thought, and Luo Chuzhang's proposal indeed had some reason.

  "Most importantly, everything is under our surveillance and control. If things go smoothly, we may even find more conclusive evidence. At that time, the US will very likely be forced to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan, which would be a great victory for the Republic..."

  "I understand what you mean." Zhou Guohui interrupted Luo's words, "So, let's do it according to your intention. After it's confirmed, I will arrange for the troops to participate in the action."

  When Zhou Guohui agreed to the intelligence officer's proposal, Ling Tianxiang was like an ant on a hot pot and couldn't sit still anymore.

  "Sit down." Zhou Guohui didn't give Ling Tianxiang a chance to distinguish, "Director Luo, this time it's really troubling you, we will fully cooperate."

  "Alright then, I won't bother you much anymore. Once everything is confirmed, I'll get in touch with you as soon as possible."

  Zhou Guohui sent Luo Chuzhang out of the door and only then closed the door and walked back.

  "Great Uncle, how can you agree to such a request, 'Snow Leopard' Brigade..."

  "So, do you think there's a more suitable way?" Zhou Guohui glanced at Ling Tianxiang and then sighed. "This is our only option now. The safe you brought back already has enough evidence, but in order to find the mole hiding within us, we have to use this method."

  "But no one dares to guarantee that the action will be successful! And I think that Luo is also problematic!"

  Zhou Guohui immediately burst out laughing. "How much do you know about him?"

  Ling Tianxiang was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head. This was still his first time seeing Luo Zuchang after all.

  "His father was one of the founding fathers, and he has been working in the intelligence department for over thirty years without making any mistakes. He is recognized as one of the best intelligence officers in the Military Intelligence Bureau. If he has a problem, then the entire Military Intelligence Bureau has a problem."

  "But we can't trust his promises either."

  "Tianxiang, I understand your thoughts, but we must first clarify the current situation." Zhou Guohui lit a cigarette. "Firstly, we have no other choice. Secondly, whether or not we can find the traitor will directly affect all our future actions. Thirdly, this is the best opportunity. What we currently possess is very unfavorable to the US, and if we take action again, the US military will definitely take action as well. If things go as expected, the US intelligence agency has already sent a message to 'Mole', and even if 'Mole' knows the risks are great this time, as long as there's any movement on our side, he'll immediately send out the message. If we miss this opportunity, perhaps we'll never be able to find this traitor again."

  "We can't risk the lives of the Snow Leopard Troop's officers and men either."

  "This isn't an adventure, it's a try." Zhou Guohui let out a breath. "Maybe our actions this time won't yield very good results, but if we don't take action, then there will be no results at all."

  Ling Tianxiang fell silent, he also knew what his uncle meant by these words, but he still felt unable to accept it.

  "You go rest for a while, your dad is on his way now." Zhou Guohui said as he stood up, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

  "Great Uncle, I think it's time for me to end my vacation." Ling Tianxiang also stood up.

  Zhou Guohui looked at his nephew and immediately understood Ling Tianxiang's meaning. "Do you want to go back to the team?"

  Ling Tianxiang nodded firmly. "At this time, I shouldn't stand by and do nothing. I must go back and be with my comrades. Otherwise, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life."

  "Do you think the action will fail?"

  "No, I just had a premonition, and I don't know if it's accurate or not. But as you said at the beginning, if I do nothing, then there will be no outcome."

  "So you think going back and being with your comrades is when your abilities will be fully utilized."

  "No, I just want to reassure myself."

  Zhou Guohui smiled and shook his head. "If you think so, then you are completely wrong. You don't have to go back to the main team, you can still play a very important role, or even more important."

  Ling Tianxiang looked at his uncle and was a bit puzzled by what he meant.

  "Stay here and assist me." Zhou Guohui let out a breath, "You're very clear about this operation. With you by my side to assist me, I can make accurate judgments. If anything unexpected happens, we can quickly salvage the situation, right?"

  "But..."

  "Needless to say, either stay here or go back with your old man."

  Zhou Guohui didn't give Ling Tianxiang a chance to continue arguing, and Ling Tianxiang had no room for choice. The sharp blade rolled out, the tiger went off its reins, Chapter 25: Turning the tables (Part 2)
