Xin Yi never expected that the pure and clean woman before her, looking as fresh as a lotus flower, was the General Manager of Landau Hotel, whom she had just mentioned wanting to thank. Moreover, Xin Yi had just learned from Tong Zhan that this Han General was also a member of the secret intelligence organization of the Heavenly Pride Nation stationed in Lusan. However, Xin Yi could not connect these two identities with the beauty in front of her. If she had to assign an identity to this woman, Xin Yi would rather believe she was a university student who had come from the mountains, untouched by urban pollution. Such an image would raise no suspicions about her identity; judging by her appearance, she looked to be only in her twenties. Who would associate such a young woman with the two identities mentioned earlier?
"Wow, it's the Han General! I was just telling Tong Zhan that I wanted him to introduce me to you. I didn't expect we would meet so soon. I must say, Han General, you are very beautiful," Xin Yi said sincerely, without any ulterior motives.
Han Yuhe smiled at Xin Yi's words: "Thank you, Mr. Xin! That is the nicest thing I've heard today. You mentioned wanting Tong Zhan to introduce us; what was that about?"
"I wanted to thank Han General for arranging my room and lunch. But now it seems I have even more to thank you for—bringing me lunch personally," Xin Yi replied with a smile.
"Mr. Xin is too kind. This hotel is mine; serving guests is only natural. Besides, Mr. Xin is a distinguished guest that Elder Dong specifically instructed us to take good care of. How could I dare to neglect you?" Han Yuhe said playfully, sounding more like a carefree girl than a hotel manager or a member of a secret intelligence organization.
"Elder Dong?" Xin Yi asked curiously, "Who is Elder Dong?"
"Elder Dong is just Elder Dong. Now, Mr. Xin, please eat something; you've been resting for quite a while and should be hungry. I didn't want to disturb you until I saw Tong Zhan coming over," Han Yuhe responded with a nonchalant remark and naturally shifted the topic.
"Yes, I am quite hungry now; I won't hold back," Xin Yi said as she pulled the food cart closer and sat down. "You can just call me Xin Yi; it sounds more comfortable."
"Alright, Xin Yi, then you can call me Han Yuhe," Han Yuhe replied as she sat down on the sofa. Xin Yi began to eat heartily; he always ate with great vigor, treating meals as merely a means to replenish energy without pretending to be a gentleman. He never considered himself one.
Han Yuhe and Tong Zhan were quietly conversing on the sofa; it seemed Tong Zhan was explaining Xin Yi's planned actions to Han Yuhe. From their posture during the conversation, it appeared that Tong Zhan held considerable respect for Han Yuhe. Could it be that this twenty-something Han Yuhe was actually superior to the forty-something Tong Zhan? If that were true, then Han Yuhe was indeed an impressive person.
Just as Xin Yi set down her chopsticks and hadn’t even had time to rub her full belly, Han Yuhe spoke directly: "Xin Yi, I think your plan is very risky; I do not agree with you doing this! We need to think this through carefully."
"Think it through carefully?" Xin Yi retorted without hesitation: "How long should we take? As far as I know, you've been in Lusang Nation for quite some time now, yet you still haven't found the Black K Party's stronghold? If we keep dragging this out, the person I'm looking for might already be dead!" This was how Xin Yi operated; when it came to significant matters, he believed in making decisive decisions without considering anyone's feelings during serious discussions.
Han Yuhe's expression changed slightly, but she did not lose her temper. However, Tong Zhan could not hold back any longer. He jumped up from the sofa and angrily said, "Mr. Xin! How can you speak to the team leader like that? Our work in Lusang Nation does not require Mr. Xin to judge us, does it?! If it weren't for you being arranged by Elder Dong..."
"Tong Zhan! Enough!" Han Yuhe immediately scolded him as she saw Tong Zhan about to say something inappropriate. She turned to Xin Yi and said, "Xin Yi, I just think your plan is too risky. For your safety, I cannot allow you to proceed like this. I have to consider the safety of all team members. Tong Zhan is right; I am the leader of the Heavenly Pride Nation's secret Intelligence Team stationed in Lusan, and I must be responsible for you!" At that moment, she truly resembled a leader with a commanding presence, her tone leaving no room for doubt.
"Alright then, I would like to hear what Elder Dong instructed you," Xin Yi replied. It seemed that arguing would not help; only by changing her mind could they resolve this.
"Elder Dong ordered us to cooperate with all your actions in Lusang Nation, including all the intelligence, weapons, personnel, and equipment you need. That's it," Han Yuhe answered.
"Okay, please note that Elder Dong's order is for you to 'cooperate' with my actions in Lusang Nation, not to teach me how to act. Do you understand what that means? Moreover, my actions do not require your people’s involvement, so they will not be in any danger."
"But..." Han Yuhe did not expect Xin Yi to use Elder Dong's instructions against her. According to Elder Dong's orders, she indeed could not stop him from doing anything. However, since they were all agents serving the Heavenly Pride Nation (at least Han Yuhe believed so), how could she just watch her compatriot go to his death? After a pause, Han Yuhe said, "Xin Yi, I'm doing this for your own good. The Black K Party is far more complicated than you think. If it were that simple, they would have been eliminated by the Lusang Nation government or other gangs long ago. I just don't want you to make unnecessary sacrifices. Let's think this through; I promise I will find a solution in a short time." At this point, Han Yuhe was already trying to persuade him kindly.
"I'm sorry; I understand what you mean, but I really can't wait any longer. Every minute I delay puts the person I'm looking for in more danger. I don't want to regret wasting time for the rest of my life. Even if this action costs me my life, I must do it; at least I won't have regrets. Do you understand?" Xin Yi resolutely replied.
"It seems that the person you're looking for this time is not just a mission-related target," Han Yuhe observed Xin Yi's expression and said, "This person must be quite important to you; am I right?"
"Yes, she is my fiancée," Xin Yi stated.
"Alright then; since that's the case, I won't try to persuade you anymore." Han Yuhe looked deeply at Xin Yi. Although she had become the leader of the Heavenly Pride Nation's secret intelligence organization stationed in Lusan at a young age, it did not mean she had lost the youthful girl's yearning for beautiful feelings. Seeing Xin Yi willing to take risks for his fiancée moved her and earned her respect. If a man could be indifferent even towards his fiancée, how could he serve the Motherland? Therefore, Han Yuhe decided to support Xin Yi and said, "Tell me what you need; I will fully cooperate with you. My team members can also accompany you."
"The things I need have already been prepared by Tong Zhan. It's better if I go alone; having more people makes it easier to expose ourselves. Right now, I just need Tong Zhan to take me near the council building to familiarize myself with the terrain. There are no other requirements for now, but thank you!" Xin Yi sincerely expressed his gratitude. He did not know why Han Yuhe suddenly changed her mind but was glad to have her support; if their relationship soured, it would not be a pleasant situation.
"Alright then; if you need anything, just let me or Tong Zhan know. I'll do my best to meet your requests. Now go ahead; when you return, we can discuss the details." Han Yuhe was also decisive and stood up as she spoke before walking to the door and leaving.
Xin Yi and Tong Zhan walked down to the hotel parking lot. Tong Zhan was driving a common sedan that was ubiquitous in Lusang Nation, a car that would not attract anyone's attention anywhere. Even if two such cars collided on the street, it was unlikely anyone would take a second glance. Tong Zhan drove towards the council building, which was not far away; after about ten minutes of driving, Xin Yi could see the building that represented the political center of Lusang Nation from a distance.
The council building was a typical Baroque style structure, not very tall but occupying a vast area. From afar, the white circular dome resembled giant yurts. In Lusang Nation, buildings representing politics and government were predominantly in this Baroque style; Gothic spires were more suited for churches and schools. Perhaps this architectural style represented the essence of politicians—sophisticated, smooth-talking, and willing to do anything to achieve their goals.
Surrounding the council building were several modern office towers, likely housing various companies and offices. However, one building caught Xin Yi's attention. Unlike the others that displayed signs of various companies and offices, this building appeared solemn, with only a few large characters on its facade—Y Country Moha Group Lusang Branch.
What a coincidence! According to the information provided by Brother Three regarding the Taiwan Kingdom, both Lusang Nation's Black K Party and Y Country's Moha Group were major partners in import-export trade with Taiwan Kingdom. The Black K Party was responsible for purchasing drugs from Taiwan Kingdom, while Y Country Moha Group supplied food and daily necessities to Taiwan Kingdom. Both parties were key targets for Xin Yi's investigation. How could it be so coincidental that they were concentrated near the council building in Lusang Nation? Nevertheless, Xin Yi decided to investigate the Y Country Moha Group Lusang Branch after wrapping up matters with Lijie to avoid unnecessary trips.
Tong Zhan drove around the council building twice, explaining the layout of the building according to the map inside the car. Xin Yi quickly grasped the situation and preliminarily determined the route to enter the underground parking lot. However, she still did not know how to open the secret entrance once inside; she would have to figure it out after entering.
