Bai Qingcheng wanted experts, not everyone. Also, I figured the mission to infiltrate the Chi You organization's stronghold would be similar to an assassination. It’s not wise to bring too many people, so I only brought Diana, Shao Chen, Xu Ran, along with Zheng Baobao and Xiao Nu. As for Daji, I left her with Yao Yao to watch over her, which also served as a way to keep an eye on Long Yue.
The fox spirit had been listening nearby. She said that since Daji couldn't go, she should go instead. After all, she was also a fox. I didn't quite grasp her meaning, but after the fox spirit revealed a hint of a seductive smile, I understood. The art of fox charm, "hu mei zhi shu," was exclusive to the fox tribe. It might indeed be useful for infiltrating an enemy organization.
Once the troops were assembled, Chen Ke disguised each of us before we drove directly to Zhoushui Airport in a commercial vehicle.
Bai Qingcheng kept her word. Staff from Shabia were already waiting there, guiding us onto a small private jet. I wasn't sure if it was Shabia's own or borrowed from a wealthy individual affiliated with them.
For wealthy people, once they reach a certain level, if they want to keep most of their money in their pockets, the best way is to find a powerful backer. Shabia, having stood for thousands of years in Yanxia, naturally attracted the attention of many wealthy individuals.
On the plane, Lin Xi was there, seemingly to pick us up specifically. What's more, there were flight attendants on board. They came over to serve drinks, all high-end beverages I had never tried before. We were all chatting while drinking. When a flight attendant approached, she glanced at me, her eyes filled with astonishment. I was slightly taken aback. Was I that handsome? Certainly not. I never thought I was particularly handsome, just not ugly. Perhaps she was surprised why I had so many beautiful women around me.
Whether a man is impressive or not isn't judged by himself; powerful men are often difficult to discern. Observing the company they keep can reveal a lot. It seems my charm had increased significantly this time.
"Hello, handsome. Can you tell me your name? Can I add you on WeChat?" the flight attendant asked. From this, I guessed that this wasn't Shabia's plane. If it were Shabia's private jet, she would definitely be one of Shabia's people and wouldn't make such a silly request.
"My name is Wu Chengfeng. The 'Wu' is 'kou tian Wu,' and 'Chengfeng' is from 'riding the wind and waves'," I replied, handing her my phone. Adding someone on WeChat was not an excessive request.
Upon seeing it, she immediately became excited and grabbed her phone to scan my WeChat: "Okay, thank you!"
After that, the young flight attendant ran off, not at all reserved.
Hahahaha! Lin Xi was doubled over with laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" I asked.
"Is this the first time someone has hit on you?" Lin Xi chuckled. "The way she looked at you just now was like she wanted to eat you up."
I felt a pang of embarrassment: "Am I that… tasty?" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"You're not exactly handsome, but you have a special 'flavor'," Lin Xi nodded. "This world, because of flavorful men like you, isn't so boring."
I smiled: "You're quite good at giving compliments!"
Lin Xi also smiled. In the time we had known each other, it felt like it had been a long time since we were this relaxed.
"Is the old man doing well?" I asked.
"Thanks to you, he's perfectly fine. The old man absolutely loved the gift you sent; he cherishes it at home every day. Oh, and my brother, do you remember him?"
"Of course," I replied. "The high-ranking official."
"Regarding yesterday's events, he's just been transferred to Xiangxi Province as the governor, concurrently serving as the commander of the provincial armed forces."
"Oh? To cooperate with our operation?" I asked.
Lin Xi nodded: "That's the superior's intention, presumably. But we don't need to worry about that. We have only one objective. My brother will handle the other minor figures."
"Good," I nodded. "That's for the best. After all, with Guo Jia's power as our backing, our mission will be even safer."
We chatted for a while. Bai Qingcheng called the plane via satellite phone, instructing us to stay put after landing and that she would arrange for a helicopter to pick us up.
Upon landing, it was raining. The rain in the cold winter felt quite similar to the atmosphere in the netherworld.
The private jet was fast. The journey took less than three hours, but because we departed late, it was already nearing dark here.
