After all the precautionary measures were in place, Tong Zhan began to introduce Xin Yi to the situation regarding the Black K Party. It turned out that the secret intelligence organization of Heavenly Pride Nation stationed in Lusang Nation had been collecting information not only on the political aspects of Lusang Nation but also on the Black K Party. As the world's largest gang operating within Lusang Nation, every move made by the Black K Party could have significant implications for the international community. However, due to its secretive operations, over the years, Heavenly Pride Nation's intelligence personnel had only managed to uncover a drug warehouse located inside the parliament building and a weapons depot in the Alexander Mountains. As for the headquarters of the Black K Party, there had been no leads so far.
Within the House of Representatives and Senate of Lusang Nation, secret intelligence agents from Heavenly Pride Nation had already infiltrated, posing as ordinary representatives or internal staff members. They rarely had opportunities to access core secrets of the parliament. For instance, one intelligence agent whom Tong Zhan secretly contacted knew only that Clinton entered the private garage of Senate President Smith Tang. What secrets lay within that garage was beyond what someone of his rank could know, as Smith Tang's private garage was guarded by specialized personnel, making it inaccessible to most.
Smith Tang was from California and had previously served as the governor of California. He held great political prestige among the people of Lusang Nation and was also the chairman of the Bright Party. Consequently, he had become one of the leading candidates for the next president of Lusang Nation. The Bright Party, led by Smith Tang, was the second-largest party in Lusang Nation after the ruling Labor Party. The political landscape in Lusang Nation seemed to have formed an unspoken rule where power alternated between the Bright Party and Labor Party. Currently, Labor Party was in power, so it was expected that Bright Party would take over in the next election. Thus, it seemed almost certain that Smith Tang would become the next president of Lusang Nation.
As for why the entrance to Black K Party's drug warehouse was located in Smith Tang's private garage, Tong Zhan speculated that Black K Party must be a supporter behind Bright Party. Once Bright Party came to power, they would grant significant conveniences to Black K Party. However, Xin Yi disagreed with this view. Based on what he knew about Black K Party, it seemed unlikely that they would need any assistance from Lusang Nation's government given their current strength. The primary business of Black K Party revolved around drugs, and no government would openly support such an enterprise. So what use would government support be? Unless Black K Party's true goal was not to gain support from the ruling party but rather to control all of Lusang Nation! Of course, this idea seemed somewhat insane; since its establishment, Black K Party had given governments around the world the impression that it did not engage in politics. This facade could either be genuine or merely a strategy to conceal its ulterior motives and ambitions until it was ready to act decisively.
If Xin Yi's analysis were correct, then Black K Party should not be underestimated; its ambitions likely extended far beyond just Lusang Nation. Controlling Lusang Nation—one of the world's foremost military powers—would make it easy to swallow up other smaller countries worldwide. With this thought in mind, Xin Yi felt increasingly perplexed about the entire situation. It seemed that Lijie’s mission might not be as straightforward as it appeared on the surface; it could very well involve political factions or national interests. In such struggles between political factions or nations, sacrificing lives became commonplace. Moreover, Lijie had been missing for nearly a month now; who knew what might have happened during that time? Xin Yi felt as if a fire were burning within him; he needed to obtain news about Lijie as quickly as possible—sooner rather than later. If Lijie had met with misfortune, he would stop at nothing to take down Black K Party!
"Do you have a layout map of the parliament building?" Xin Yi asked Tong Zhan.
"I do," Tong Zhan replied as he pulled out a map from his bag. "I went to the parliament building last time just for this map. Look here... there’s a passageway south of the underground main parking lot that leads directly to Smith Tang's private garage. I don't know what else is inside; we’ll have to assess once we get there."
Xin Yi carefully studied the map and memorized several marked locations before saying to Tong Zhan, "Alright, that's enough for tonight. Please prepare four silenced pistols and two hundred rounds of ammunition for me tomorrow. Also, find fifty iron nails like these." Xin Yi said as he pulled out a sketch depicting an oddly shaped nail—thicker on one end with a sharp point at the front. Since he couldn't bring weapons into the country by plane, he had no choice but to rely on Tong Zhan’s resources; surely a nation's secret intelligence organization could manage such requests without difficulty. As for those peculiar nails Xin Yi intended to use as throwing knives, finding suitable throwing knives on short notice would be nearly impossible; these nails would serve as an excellent substitute—powerful and easy to procure with some minor modifications from any hardware store.
Tong Zhan glanced at Xin Yi's sketch and said, "These are all manageable tasks; however, are you planning to go alone? I could report up and arrange for two assistants."
"Forget it; I'll go alone first," Xin Yi replied. "Just prepare these items for me and take me around near the parliament building tomorrow." He wasn't doubting Tong Zhan or his companions; he simply felt that this matter was too strange and preferred fewer people at risk if danger arose.
Seeing that Xin Yi had made up his mind, Tong Zhan didn’t press further and hurriedly took his leave with his suitcase. It was already 2 AM; Xin Yi felt no inclination to sleep due to his anxiety over Lijie’s situation. He wished he could rush into the parliament building immediately to investigate but knew better than to act recklessly without proper preparation. Although Lijie might not be a match for him in Kung Fu skills, when it came to hidden weapons and poison techniques, she far surpassed him. Thus overall strength-wise, Lijie likely held an advantage over him; yet she too had gone missing without a trace—this compelled Xin Yi to proceed with caution.
Finally, just as dawn broke, Xin Yi fell into a restless sleep due to jet lag; he slept soundly for four hours before being awakened by a doorbell—it was Tong Zhan arriving. After letting him into his room and washing up in the bathroom, Xin Yi emerged to find four silenced pistols and two hundred bright yellow bullets laid out on a table along with another bag containing dozens of iron nails matching his sketch design. Picking up one of the pistols, Xin Yi skillfully disassembled and reassembled it before pointing it out toward the window and firing two shots into thin air while exclaiming, "Good gun! Looks like your equipment is quite advanced!" He then grabbed an empty magazine and began loading bullets into it.
"We don't have such configurations. These were all bought from the black market. The gun control in Lusang Nation is much looser compared to our country; as long as you have money, you can buy any advanced weapon. However, the strange iron nails you want are a bit more complicated. I had to find four or five brothers to work overnight to get these done for you. I don't know if they meet your requirements," Tong Zhan said.
Xin Yi took out an iron nail from the bag and looked at it, saying, "You really made this out of steel bars? Very good, very good, it's quite useful." As Xin Yi spoke, he flicked his hand, and the iron nail flew past Tong Zhan like a shooting star, embedding itself into the wooden door with a "thud." Fortunately, the wooden door was thick, and Xin Yi didn't use much force, so it didn't penetrate through. Xin Yi nodded in satisfaction; the short-range power of this iron nail was not much inferior to that of a bullet. It seemed that his design was quite practical.
Tong Zhan was not overly surprised by Xin Yi's display of skill. As a qualified agent, he had several tricks up his sleeve. After Xin Yi put away the gun and iron nails, he said to Tong Zhan, "Can you take me for a walk near the council building now?"
"Yes, that should be the case. However, when I arrived just now, Han General mentioned that you haven't eaten anything since you got here. Han General has already arranged for your meal; it should be delivered to your room shortly. Let's go after you've eaten," Tong Zhan replied with a slight smile.
Hearing this from Tong Zhan made Xin Yi realize that he was indeed a bit hungry. His last meal was the complimentary one on the plane, and it had been a full twelve hours since arriving in Lusang Nation without eating anything. It was time to have something before heading out. However, upon hearing Tong Zhan's words, Xin Yi became curious about this Han General and further confirmed that Han General was also part of the Heavenly Pride Nation's secret intelligence organization stationed in Lusan; otherwise, he wouldn't be paying such close attention to him.
So Xin Yi asked, "Tong Zhan, if I'm not mistaken, this Han General should also be someone from the organization, right?"
Tong Zhan hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded and said, "Yes."
"Then please introduce me when it's convenient; I want to thank him for his care," Xin Yi said. "Don't you think so?"
"Yes, that should be fine," Tong Zhan replied ambiguously. It was unclear whether he meant that it was appropriate for Han General to care for Xin Yi or that it was appropriate for Xin Yi to thank Han General; either way, his statement was quite vague.
Just then, the doorbell rang; it must be the person delivering the food. Tong Zhan quickly walked to the door and opened it. A beautiful girl in a professional outfit pushed in a small cart with food and smiled at both Tong Zhan and Xin Yi in the room.
The girl was exceptionally beautiful, but her beauty was entirely unadorned; there were no traces of makeup on her face. There is a saying: "Pure water produces lotus flowers; natural beauty needs no embellishment." The girl who entered embodied this saying completely—she appeared like a fairy untouched by worldly affairs. Standing there, she seemed like an ethereal being who could purify any noisy soul with her presence. Even Xin Yi marveled at her beauty and purity, staring at her for a while without speaking. However, Xin Yi's heart was pure at that moment; he looked at her with genuine admiration mixed with some astonishment.
"Mr. Xin, right? I am Han Yuhe, the general manager of this hotel," the fairy-like girl said as she gently parted her lips, her voice smooth and melodious.
I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that.
