Chapter 1367: Boss Zuo
This night, undercurrents surged, and murder plots were rising.The group of White Whale numbered only ten. Besides him and Amir, there was a five-person team continually by their side, and the other three were those remaining after fighting Zhang Kui.
After escaping a certain distance, White Whale and the others abandoned their vehicle and fled on foot. To prevent becoming easy targets with a vehicle that could easily be exposed, they entered the wilderness and headed towards the hiding place of the Spine Team.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long before the abandoned vehicle was found by General Hawan’s men.
White Whale understood deeply that once General Hawan was dead, and the news got out, there would be countless pursuers. Therefore, to better hide themselves, they had to tread where there were no signs of human life.
Under the night’s cover, on a hilltop, Amir looked at White Whale with worry, "Deputy Commander, can’t reach the Spine Team?"
"How could it be unreachable?" White Whale wondered aloud, "Is it a problem with the communication equipment? Or is the signal being jammed?"
"Hard to say, I feel something is wrong." Amir said with concern.
"You’re overthinking it, the Spine Team is incredibly formidable. Even if they encounter trouble, they’ll resolve it easily, and we’ll be the first to know. Change is impossible." White Whale reassured him, saying, "Each member of the Spine Team is battle-hardened. Their individual combat capabilities are formidable. We must have faith in the Spine Team and not be paranoid."
She meant simply that even in her absence, the Spine Team could act freely and command with precision.
"I hope so, perhaps I’m overthinking." Amir spoke with a heavy tone.
"Continue attempting to reach out, and rendezvous with the Spine Team as soon as possible." White Whale instructed.
"At our current speed, it’ll likely be daylight by the time we reach the Spine Team’s hideout." Amir commented wistfully.
"As long as we shake off the pursuers and ensure our trail isn’t discovered, a little extra time doesn’t matter." White Whale said indifferently, "After daybreak, we’ve outdistanced the pursuers, and it will be difficult for General Hawan’s men to find us again."
...
The next day.
In a certain manor, the boss of the underground forces in D Country, Left Boss, was having breakfast.
Eating a while without appetite, he said blandly, "Who’s responsible for breakfast? The culinary skills are getting worse. Tell the cook, if they make something so bad even pigs and dogs won’t eat it again, I’ll kill him and feed him to the dogs."
The assistant smiled, speaking placidly, "The new cook has been serving for three weeks, didn’t the boss have a partiality for the breakfast they make? Even praised its uniqueness. Perhaps you’re tired of it, after this I’ll change the breakfast cook, no need to get angry over such a small matter."
This cook wasn’t invited, but was kidnapped from a hotel by the assistant.
How could Left Boss invite someone? Naturally, it was a matter of brute threats and abduction, befitting his temperament and image.
Left Boss naturally forgot he had praised the cook before.
At this moment, the assistant’s phone rang, he bowed facing Left Boss, saying, "Boss, a call from Peng Bird?"
"That birdman secretly wanting a peaceful life, what could he want now?" Though saying that, he still took the phone from the assistant.
"Left Boss, great news, wonderful news!" Peng Bird’s joyous voice said.
"Speak, if it isn’t good news, I’ll kill you." Left Boss said indifferently.
Left Boss was harsh and sarcastic, but quite loyal, which was why Peng Bird could endure working under him.
"Left Boss, according to reliable info, General Hawan is dead." Peng Bird hurriedly said.
Left Boss interrupted, furrowing his brow, "General Hawan is really dead? If you’re falsely reporting and I get my hopes up for nothing, I won’t spare you."
"I wouldn’t dare talk nonsense, the news is absolutely true," Peng Bird said, "A military officer of General Hawan, whom I’m acquainted with, leaked it, saying General Hawan was killed by White Whale. Then White Whale fled, and now Hawan’s men are hunting White Whale everywhere. General Hawan’s death is being kept secret and hasn’t been announced."
"Good, hahaha, that’s great, dying is perfect, that old geezer General Hawan fought me for so long, only to die at the hands of his most loyal ally, the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps. It’s truly satisfying, hahaha..." Left Boss laughed unrestrainedly.
His mood soared, his smile radiating intensely.
He paused his laughter, boastfully saying, "When the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps learns this news, they’ll inevitably clash fiercely with General Hawan’s men. Hawan’s forces are furiously murderous, Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps can’t dodge this, Hawk, that old fox, can’t defuse it, forced to suffer the opposite’s wrath. Finally, these two close dogs will fight, finally kill each other sparring, it’s truly exhilarating."
He couldn’t care less why White Whale killed General Hawan, but since White Whale did such a foolish act, it’s worth celebrating.
"Left Boss, there’s more good news." After allowing Left Boss to vent his joy, Peng Bird said, "The Spine Team was also bombed by General Hawan’s artillery. Besides a few stragglers near White Whale, the other members of the Spine Team are all dead."
"Great, it’s indeed good news, Hawk must really hate Hawan’s forces now. This mortal feud between them is formed. Watching them dogs fighting dogs, truly my life’s greatest joy," Left Boss mused for a moment and then curiously asked, "How did so many good things happen all at once, exactly why?"
"The thing is." Peng Bird organized his words, saying, "Those impersonating me found the Spine Team’s hideout, deliberately exposed themselves, leading to General Hawan’s artillery attack. White Whale saw their target was dead and retaliated fiercely against Hawan, clearly burning bridges and avenging Black Shark. Now, Hawan’s people are chasing White Whale. At this time, neither side knows the mastermind behind these events is still out there."
He sorted through the events and developed a rough guess closer to the truth.
"The play is well-executed, those pretending to be you shouldn’t be underestimated, they’re capable men." Left Boss praised.
"Those imposters are indeed impressive." Peng Bird replied truthfully.
"What imposters? If you ask me, these imposters are better than the genuine ones." Left Boss spoke spontaneously, expressing his personal views regardless of Peng Bird’s feelings.
"Left Boss speaks wisely." Peng Bird urgently responded without any dissatisfaction.
