The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

"And we're trying to find their hideout through these people and then wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Yang Xia finally revealed his plan; all that going around in circles was to lure the fish into a trap.

"Oh, I see." Sun Zhengming suddenly realized why Yang Xia had gone to such lengths to have him imprisoned.

It was all a ploy to lure the people from Nebula Kingdom out of hiding, and then use these clues to wipe out their hideout.

Sun Zhengming disagreed with the plan, believing that the people in Xingyun Kingdom were not fools and would not be easily deceived.

If their actions are discovered, it could alert the enemy.

This tactic won't work on them again, meaning Yang Xia's plan will completely fail this time.

Sun Zhengming also urgently wanted to wipe out these people's hideout, but he couldn't act rashly.

All of this needs to be arranged properly, so he disagreed with Yang Xia's statement.

"Yang Xia, let's think of another way. I think this method is a bit hasty and might alert the enemy."

Sun Zhengming objected, hoping that Yang Xia would change his mind and come up with some other solutions.

"This method will definitely work, so don't worry, just follow these instructions."

Seeing Sun Zhengming's worry, Yang Xia nodded firmly, believing that his method would definitely succeed.

"Yang Xia, I really think this is too risky. Our current situation is already very dangerous, so we can't afford any mistakes. Let's think of another way."

Sun Zhengming absolutely refused to agree to this plan, which was completely contrary to Yang Xia's opinion.

"Sometimes the more dangerous the method, the more successful it is. You don't need to worry so much. I can assure you, it will definitely work."

Yang Xia hadn't expected Sun Zhengming to be so conservative, so he could only keep explaining to him.

He had already given this matter considerable thought, and naturally, he would not allow China to fall into danger again.

He understood the current situation better than anyone else, and of course knew what it meant.

Every action they take is a great challenge for China, and Yang Xia would not rule out these factors.

Moreover, if this action is taken now, it will be very swift and will definitely catch those people in the Nebula Kingdom off guard.

Upon hearing Yang Xia's words, Sun Zhengming fell into deep thought.

He was extremely worried, wondering if this method was too risky, and if any problems arose, he wouldn't even be able to explain it to the king.

Sun Zhengming had repeatedly assured the king about this operation, but Yang Xia's idea made him uneasy and he couldn't make up his mind no matter how much he thought about it.

"Well then, I'll ask the king now and see what he says."

Having exhausted all other options, Sun Zhengming decided to discuss the next course of action with the King in front of Yang Xia.

When it comes to some important decisions, Sun Zhengming dared not agree on his own. If the king could grant his request, there should be no problem.

"Your Majesty, Yang Xia wants us to arrange for some experts to closely monitor those in Xingyun Kingdom who are in contact with him, and then try to destroy their base. But I think this method is a bit risky."

Sun Zhengming quickly explained Yang Xia's plan and waited for the king to speak.

Yang Xia could only wait on the sidelines for the Chinese emperor to speak; if they all disagreed, the plan would have to be abandoned.

"I think Yang Xia's method is also good, I agree."

Unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, the King of Yan Kingdom shared the same stance as Yang Xia and was willing to believe in his plan.

"Your Majesty, don't you think this is too risky?" Sun Zhengming was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the king would agree with Yang Xia's idea.

"It is somewhat risky. But the other side has become increasingly unscrupulous. If these problems cannot be resolved in one fell swoop, the consequences may be unbearable."

The king finally expressed his concerns, but compared to the current situation, it was still worth the risk.

The Nebula Kingdom has infiltrated the Yan Kingdom with terrifying power, and the king has long felt this threat.

If we don't take action soon, the situation may become uncontrollable.

The king had no choice but to agree to Yang Xia's risky plan; in addition, he trusted Yang Xia to some extent, knowing that the man was quick-witted and his plans were often unexpected.

"Thank you for your trust and support, Your Majesty. I guarantee there will be no problems." Yang Xia had not expected that the king would stand by his side at this critical moment, and he felt quite comforted.

"No need for thanks. You have been doing your best for Yan Kingdom, and we should be the ones thanking you."

"Sun Zhengming, from now on you will be completely at Yang Xia's command."

Sun Zhengming quickly agreed to the authorization given by the King of Yan.

After ending the call, Sun Zhengming shook his head with a wry smile.

“I really didn’t expect the king to support you… but I’m still very worried.”

"But now that I have the king's authorization, I have nothing to worry about. I will follow your arrangements."

Sun Zhengming actually said these words to Yang Xia.

"Brother Sun, there's no need to worry so much. Just stay calm and follow my instructions, and the result will be perfect."

Yang Xia laughed heartily, and seeing Sun Zhengming's worried expression, he felt that the man was far too conservative.

"Okay, I'll go set it up right away."

Sun Zhengming immediately got up, preparing to dispatch experts to set up an ambush around the area.

"Remember to stay calm and don't alert them. It would be best to find out where they are hiding."

Seeing that Sun Zhengming was about to leave, Yang Xia quickly gave him some more instructions.

"Don't worry, I understand." Sun Zhengming casually agreed and then went out to arrange manpower.

Yang Xia remained calm in prison, believing that something would happen soon.

Those people in the Nebula Kingdom must be closely monitoring my every move.

Previously, when they were at the hotel, the other party tried every means to control him. Now that they have made such a big move, they should have gotten wind of it long ago.

Yang Xia was quite confident that Mike was also eager to contact him.

Sure enough, that very night they discovered that a skilled individual had secretly infiltrated the vicinity of the prison.

"General Sun, someone has appeared."

A skilled fighter next to Sun Zhengming quickly pointed to a rooftop not far away.

"It seems that Yang Xia is truly a brilliant strategist... These people are so impatient."

Sun Zhengming was also greatly shocked by this situation.

The person sent by the other side was indeed a top expert with extremely keen observation skills. As soon as he infiltrated the place, he sensed that there was an ambush and turned to leave.

"General Sun, that guy is trying to escape!"

His subordinates nervously reported to Sun Zhengming, and no one knew how to respond.

"These guys are too arrogant! We can't let them escape!"

At this moment, Sun Zhengming had lost his composure and completely forgot Yang Xia's instructions.

"Men! Quickly cordon off the prison, let's trap them like turtles in a jar!"

At Sun Zhengming's command, the experts surrounding the prison immediately sprang into action. His intention was to capture this expert as soon as possible and extract useful information from him.

These people from Xingyun Kingdom are indeed too arrogant—the prison is heavily guarded, yet they still dare to break in.

It was clear that they had come to contact Yang Xia. This audacious act angered Sun Zhengming, which is why he made this decision to take down the other party first.

But he was wrong: since the other party dared to trespass into this important place, they must be a master among masters. How could they easily fall into their hands?
The two sides quickly clashed fiercely.

"He's all alone! You must do everything in your power to take him down! I want to see just how powerful the forces behind the Nebula Kingdom really are!"

Sun Zhengming gave orders aggressively, wanting his men to capture the expert as soon as possible.

He was convinced that his decision was correct—if they could capture him, the king would surely be pleased, and they might even obtain important intelligence.

The two sides immediately engaged in combat, and the expert's skills were indeed outstanding, capable of fighting several people alone.

These experts from Yan Kingdom were carefully selected, but they did not expect their opponent to be so powerful.

"No matter what, you must take him down!"

Seeing this situation, Sun Zhengming shouted anxiously, fearing that the man would escape—if that happened, everything would be in vain.

However, the expert then took out a cutting-edge device that could fire anesthetic needles.

He realized that the Yan Kingdom had ambushed so many experts that it was not advisable to fight here for too long—the longer the battle lasted, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

In desperation, we had no choice but to use this equipment.

The experts from Yan Kingdom tried to dodge when they realized the situation was bad, but the device was so powerful that no matter how they tried to evade it, they could not escape its grasp.

It turned out that this device could fire anesthetic needles, and soon a number of Yan Kingdom experts fell down.

"What on earth is going on? The other party is so powerful!" Sun Zhengming was terrified when he saw the scene not far away. He had never expected it to end like this.

"General Sun, they've all been hit with tranquilizer darts and have passed out."

One of his men quickly reported to Sun Zhengming.

Sun Zhengming was completely dumbfounded—he didn't know how to explain this to Yang Xia.

Only then did I remember that Yang Xia had told me not to act rashly, and that it would be best to send someone to follow me secretly... But what had I done?
The opponent escaped without leaving any clues, which instead completely exposed our side.

Yang Xia was in prison when he heard something amiss outside, as if there was a fierce fight taking place.

A sudden tightness gripped his heart, fearing that Sun Zhengming might disobey his instructions and engage in combat on his own—if that happened, the entire plan would be thrown into chaos.

The fight lasted for several minutes, and Yang Xia desperately hoped that Sun Zhengming could come quickly and give him an explanation.

After waiting for a while, Sun Zhengming finally came to the prison to see Yang Xia with his head down.

"Brother Sun, what exactly is going on? We clearly heard fighting sounds. Could it be that the Xingyun Kingdom has sent experts?"

Upon seeing Sun Zhengming, Yang Xia hurriedly inquired, fearing that his guess might be true—if so, then it would be truly over.

"I'm sorry... I was too impulsive and let that person get away." Sun Zhengming found it hard to speak, and lowered his head after saying this.

"Are you able to remain calm and deal with the other party?"

Yang Xia was furious upon hearing this result—he had never expected that Sun Zhengming would ruin his grand plan.

"I'm so sorry... I was afraid they would escape, so I tried to catch them like turtles in a jar. I didn't expect them to send out top experts with extremely powerful equipment, and they just slipped away right under our noses."

Although Sun Zhengming was extremely ashamed, he had no choice but to describe what had just happened to Yang Xia.

"Sun Zhengming, you must bear primary responsibility for this matter!"

"I repeatedly told you not to act impulsively, and just to try to follow them—but what exactly did you do?"

Upon hearing this result, Yang Xia couldn't help but point at Sun Zhengming's nose and berate him.

Despite knowing each other for so long, Yang Xia had never treated Sun Zhengming like this before.

I was just so angry this time that I pointed my finger at him and cursed him.

Yang Xia had been planning this for a long time, thinking it was a brilliant move, but unexpectedly it was ruined by Sun Zhengming, so he was naturally furious.

"I'm so sorry... I'm really sorry." Seeing Yang Xia's angry expression, Sun Zhengming hurriedly apologized.

“What good is being sorry! You’ve ruined the whole plan! Do you know how serious the consequences are?” Yang Xia continued to berate him, pointing his finger at him.

"You must take full responsibility for this! It's outrageous—you ruined such a great opportunity!"

Yang Xia had never been so angry before.

Sun Zhengming turned a good thing into a bad thing, and the situation will only become more passive in the future. No wonder Yang Xia was so angry.

Some opportunities are fleeting, just like the brilliant move Yang Xia made.

If things had proceeded smoothly according to the plan, many problems might have been resolved; but now everything has changed.

Yang Xia didn't even know what to do next—this was completely different from his previous plan, and it had disrupted all his arrangements.

The consequences of this failed operation were extremely serious; no wonder Yang Xia was so angry.

Sun Zhengming had never seen Yang Xia so furious before—the two had always been polite to each other, even like brothers, but Yang Xia's appearance in front of him had taken him by surprise.

"Yang Xia, I know what I did this time was a bit reckless, but I was just worried about you being in danger. I really didn't have any bad intentions."

Sun Zhengming felt slightly aggrieved after being scolded by Yang Xia for a long time; he had never expected it to have such consequences.

"I don't want to hear your nonsense explanations. The consequences have already been set in stone, and there's no point in saying anything more. I need to see the king immediately."

Yang Xia didn't want to listen to his explanation, feeling it was a waste of time.

Since the plan has already fallen through, we can only think of a new way to change the situation.

Upon hearing that Yang Xia wanted to see the king, Sun Zhengming felt uneasy, fearing that Yang Xia would complain to the king, but he dared not stop him.

With a formidable enemy at hand, Sun Zhengming also knew that Yang Xia and the King might still have important matters to discuss, and all of this was for the sake of Yan Kingdom's current situation.

"Very well, I will take you to see the king right now."

Sun Zhengming had no choice but to obediently lead Yang Xia to meet the ruler of Yan Kingdom.

Originally expecting Yang Xia to file a complaint against him first, Sun Zhengming reluctantly followed along.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xia did not complain about him, but instead started talking about the current state of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I have come here to explain the current situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. First there was the poisoning incident, and then a serious plague broke out. However, everything is still under control at present."

"I've said all this to inform Your Majesty that the Nebula Kingdom will not give up easily, and therefore I would like to ask Your Majesty for assistance."

Yang Xia sincerely communicated with the ruler of Yan Kingdom.

"I never imagined that the Great Zhou Dynasty would be in such a chaotic state. I'm sorry to have troubled you."

After learning of this situation, the ruler of Yan looked at Yang Xia with great apology.

Knowing that he had given up a lot to help Yan Kingdom, they should indeed thank Yang Xia.

"It's nothing serious. Fortunately, it's still under control, and there won't be a large number of deaths among the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty." (End of Chapter)
