Chapter 94 - Preparation
"Donald? Do you mean one of the leaders of our Horus Eye? Although we belong to the group, our leader was not Giant but Dagger. Giant belonged to a different team." the leader of the terrorist agent answered as his mind was torn in between holding the pain or getting more of it.
"Elaborate." Zhang Qin Feng said.
"There's - There are a total of four leaders in our group. Dagger, Lady, Joker, and Giant. We belonged to Dagger's team. Each team has its own specialty, and ours were capturing and searching for clues." he quickly added.
"Alright. Keep it flowing. Since you're being so obedient, take this cloth to wrap your wounds before they get infected." Zhang Qin Feng said as he tossed a roll of bandage to the leader of the trio.
The other two immediately have a change in mind as they noticed how Zhang Qin Feng handles them. It seems that by hearing what he wanted to listen to, they won't have any danger, except their wound getting left unattended for too long.
This made him looked like a saint right now, with two other rolls of bandages in his hand.
"I - I know something as well. I can share with you where is the location we're meeting. If you get a pen out, I can read it out so you can write it down." one of the two agents surrendered and decided to tell what he knew.
But in Zhang Qin Feng's perspective, the words from the other two were less valuable than what this leader knew.
After living two different lives between here and the post-apocalypse, Zhang Qin Feng realized something very crucial that he has to know.
A leader was appointed by effort and scheme.
Be it in gaming, the modern world, or post-apocalypse. Only those with the ability are capable of becoming a leader. Be it as a rotten one, a capable one, or a schemeful one.
This is what differentiates between the two agents and their leaders. Looking at how easy they cracked and surrendered all the information without forcing them, this also devalued the information they knew.
If he wasn't careful enough, he might stumble into the trap created on purpose by the higher rankers in the Horus Eye Mercenaries.
But that was only applicable to people like Captain Hu and his Tianhe Special Squadron behind him. Intel was crucial in an operation, but credibility too.
To Zhang Qin Feng, who had Stein in his head, it was more capable than a lie detector. Their gesture, pulse rate, heartbeat, tone, and response were monitored by the system as he questioned them casually.
As long they're willing to speak, everything will eventually be connected.
After playing the game of question and answer with the three of them, Zhang Qin Feng made a call to Captain Hu to request a meeting in his studio.
They took less than half an hour to arrive.
"Mr. Zhang. We're ready to go. All you need is just brief us on what to do." Captain Hu said as he met Zhang Qin Feng inside his studio. Except for Lightbulb, who was tasked to take care of their ride, everyone else was up here.
Although he was left inside the car, he was not excluded from their conversation. They were wearing an earpiece that transferred the detail of the conversation.
"So... From what you said, the detail you get from the hard disk and what they were telling you matched? Then the place we're going is a sure hideout belonged to the Horus Eye Mercenaries?" Captain Hu asked.
He was impressed by how quick Zhang Qin Feng managed to get the intel his team is still trying to crack. Although all the people they took from the outpost they raided two days ago were interrogated, the information they got still wasn't enough.
The information they got hardly pointing them to the hideout of the upper-level people. But right now, not only Zhang Qin Feng was the one to get everything out first.
"Yes. Let's get ready for our operation. I believe that time is crucial to both sides. While we have hostages in their hand, they knew that we're tracking them down fiercely too."
"I believe that this is the right time to deploy the Tianhe Special Squadron right now. How fast can your people get ready?" Zhang Qin Feng asked. From his tone, it seems that they'll be attacking right away.
"All I need is to make a call. Give me five minutes." Captain Hu replied.
"Then, get ready. We'll take action at 12 noon. Make sure you get all your people ready for the operation." Zhang Qin Feng said as he pointed at the other three guys to handle the terrorists inside his room.
The police department was called as they transferred the agents into a secure police vehicle. The vehicle will go straight to the Tianhe Squadron's HQ, where the other captives from the Horus Eye Mercenaries were interrogated.
...
"Yes... All I need is your approval to execute the order. Can I know what is your opinion regarding this?" Captain Hu seems to be controlling the tone of his voice as he speaks on the phone.
Judging from the words he's using, there was only one person that he will speak to right now.
Wang Yufei's grandfather. He's also the general director for the Tianhe Special Squadron. As long they get his approval to be deployed, everything can be done without a warrant.
"Are you sure that the intel can be trusted? I want to listen to your opinion because all I can do is to say yes or no. But your choice is crucial because this is not just handing the terrorist, it's also related to the security between countries."
The elder said.
"Sir! I believe the intel's credibility. Please approve this deployment and have faith in our action!" Captain Hu replied while standing straight. It seems that the habit he got used while serving the military is in his blood as he speaks.
"Approved." the elder said.
"Captain Hu..." he added.
"Yes, Sir!"
"Bring my granddaughter back. And get rid of these people from our motherland." Wang Yufei's grandfather said.
"YES! SIR!"
