Chapter 909 - 342: Grown Men Crying—What Does That Look Like?
"Is the airplane ready?"
After everyone finished breakfast, Harley Yous’ small group began tidying things up without needing any prompts from The Ninth Bureau.
This slightly improved The Ninth Bureau’s opinion of these Mafia associates.
Remember, The Ninth Bureau is known for hating evil passionately, having taken down many Mafia hideouts.
Xu Feng answered Zhang Beixing, saying, "It’s been ready for a while. Last night, as soon as the planes arrived at the airport, we arranged for them to refuel."
Three planes are more than enough to transport everyone back.
The arrangement of the three planes is based on the assumption that all members of The Ninth Bureau will return.
This time, Xu Feng didn’t plan on going back himself; he was just worried Zhang Beixing might be displeased with him for coming over on his own, so he prepared a backup plan.
Zhang Beixing nodded, glanced at him, and said, "Alright, put away your little thoughts. I know you didn’t plan on returning once you came out this time."
"I won’t arrange for you to go back, but this time I’m not planning to go with you. You guys can hang around in Europe for a while."
"You’re now a Half-Step Grandmaster, and it’s safe to say there aren’t many people in the world who can threaten you. Plan your own tasks for this period; I’m going back to the homeland."
Xu Feng listened very intently.
The first part of the speech made sense to him, and he nodded in agreement, but when he heard Zhang Beixing say he planned to leave them here and return home himself, he clearly froze.
His eyes began to lose clarity.
He glanced at Zhang Beixing in confusion, and when he saw the serious expression proving his superior wasn’t joking, he was dumbstruck.
"What’s with that expression?"
Zhang Beixing chuckled coldly, "Come on, stop overthinking, it’s not about disliking you, nor am I being sarcastic."
"I was already planning on going back this time, but you suddenly showed up without any notice."
"Siqi’s already called me three times, and I’ve told her about my plan to return. If I don’t go, will you compensate me for losing my girlfriend?"
Xu Feng showed an awkward expression, though he complained inwardly.
Given Zhang Beixing’s current conditions, it’s not just about having a girlfriend; even opening a harem wouldn’t be an issue.
During this time in Europe, weren’t girls from various countries throwing themselves at him?
It’s only Zhang Beixing who kept himself in check, otherwise, he could start an extremely strong foreign language class directly.
The difference is that other language classes have many students and one teacher, but Zhang Beixing’s class is just one student, and everyone else is the teacher...
"Hey, hey, I’m warning you, keep those messy thoughts in your head to yourself, don’t ponder such inexplicable things."
"Otherwise, watch out for me suing you for defamation!"
?
Really, Sir? You want to control even my thoughts?
Xu Feng’s expression stiffened, but he dared not argue with Zhang Beixing.
Zhang Beixing didn’t say much more to him, just instructed him to ensure safety during the time he leads the team.
He would be staying in the homeland for at least a week, and during this time, he shouldn’t put himself in danger.
Since he brought so many people along, he must bring everyone back exactly as they were, leaving none behind, or else he’ll be held accountable!
After receiving Xu Feng’s firm reply, Zhang Beixing nodded in satisfaction.
"Get ready to set off immediately. I’ve had a lingering uneasy feeling all day."
"Maybe someone is planning to act against us in secret, hurry and depart, gain some time."
Xu Feng left to carry out his orders.
Zhang Beixing watched his increasingly distant back, furrowing his brows slightly.
He now felt about Xu Feng, even though Xu Feng was already in his thirties and almost a dozen years older, he had a sense of a kid growing up.
Previously, Xu Feng seemed straightforward and honest, unexpectedly capable of secretly defying orders?
This really caught Zhang Beixing off guard; is this the pursuit of power?
When Zhang Beixing mentioned the impending threat, it wasn’t entirely out of paranoia.
He had consulted Li Dongming for fortune-telling twice, actually acknowledging somewhat the results of Li Dongming’s divination.
Since arriving at Harley Yous’ temporary base, he’s had a faint sense of unease, though not strong enough to concern him.
But as time passed, this feeling became increasingly stronger.
Especially this morning, it reached a peak.
It felt somewhat like the previous assassination attempt on Northriver Street.
Suddenly, while walking, he became aware of something.
Since becoming Transcendent, Zhang Beixing trusted his intuition more, sensing it might be stronger than the intelligence system.
He tried to identify the threatening location but could only discern a general direction after much effort.
He approached Harley Yous to ask if this local boss from Wu Country might know any useful information.
The response he received was Harley Yous’ shaking head.
"I’m not sure..."
