Delta: Who are you saying has suffered a loss of strength?

Captain Fengming sat diagonally opposite, watching this scene, his hands clenched tightly under the table.

The attitude of the Dragon Club was much more resolute than he had expected, as if they had already reached some kind of consensus.

His unease was slowly growing, but he still couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Soon everyone in the conference room arrived. Several people in formal attire walked over from the other end of the corridor. Leading the group was a woman in her forties, tall and slender, with her hair tied up in a bun. She had little expression on her face but walked very quickly.

She is General Manager Chen of the Phoenix Cry Club, responsible for the scheduling and evaluation of several action teams.

She was followed by two men of similar age, who, judging from their attire, were probably in management positions.

After the group of people took their seats at the head of the conference table, the conference room fell silent.

After sitting down, General Manager Chen skipped the small talk and formalities and went straight to the point, "I called everyone here today because there have been some problems with the No. 0 Dam project."

"Before a final conclusion is reached, everyone should refrain from making any statements and clarify the situation first." As she spoke, her gaze swept over everyone sitting at the table, lingering briefly on Xiao Bai's face before moving away.

At this point, Fengming and the others noticed a problem: only a novice boss had arrived at Club 78; none of the others had come.

Didn't you say we'd see them at the meeting, confront them face-to-face, and get to the bottom of things? Why isn't anyone here?

Captain Ma was preparing to launch into a tirade when the leader questioned him, but General Manager Chen's next words left him stunned.

"Fengming Club, Zero Dam, Divisions 1 and 2," General Manager Chen's voice was not loud but every word was clear, "Stand up."

The six people from Fengming below the stage were all taken aback.

"Explain why this operation was so seriously irregular and completely deviated from the plan!"

When those words hit him, Captain Ma felt his head buzzing.

He opened his mouth as if to speak, but his mind was a mess. He had prepared to talk about how the people from Club 78 sabotaged the operation and betrayed their teammates, but the questions the leader asked bypassed those and went straight to their own violations.

No?

Wasn't the plan to hold a meeting to discuss the matter? Shouldn't the parties involved at least have a chance to debate it? How could they be convicted right off the bat, especially when neither side had spoken?

A strong sense of unease welled up inside him. Seeing that the situation was becoming unstable, Captain Ma forced himself to speak, "General Manager Chen, it's the 78 Club that's not following the rules..."

boom!

The table was slammed down, interrupting Captain Ma's words.

"I ask you! Why didn't you follow the rules? Why did you launch a forced attack when you were supposed to negotiate with Saeed?"

By this time, Captain Fengming was covered in sweat. He roughly understood what was going on. The reason why this woman named Xiaobai appeared at the same time as the Longteng Club was probably because the higher-ups already knew about it.

Captain Ma was so shocked by the slap that he shuddered, swallowed hard, and started sweating on his back.

"I'm innocent! It was the people from Club 78 who caused trouble, hurt our players, injured me, and that woman even stabbed us in the back and killed a member of our Phoenix Cry Club!"

His voice rose higher and higher, as if he were using volume to compensate for his lack of confidence, "We were clearly on a mission, and they suddenly turned their backs on us..."

Captain Ma launched into a series of explanations, feeling that this was his last chance to explain, and if he was interrupted again, he might not have another chance to speak.

The General Manager Chen on the stage had a frighteningly gloomy face. She never expected that the Phoenix Cry team could be so stupid.

Letting them speak first was already considered favoritism. Going along with him, at least some punishment would give the Phoenix Cry Club some explanation, but this is fine...

General Manager Chen glanced at Xiao Bai sitting to the side, then closed his eyes tightly for a moment.

Xiao Bai's voice came from the side, "President Chen, is this what you meant by your team members realizing their mistakes?"

When Captain Ma heard Xiao Bai speak, he immediately turned to her as if he had found an outlet, "What qualifications do you have, someone from a low-level club..."

"Shut up!" General Manager Chen suddenly raised her voice and shouted, then stood up, placing her hands on the table and glaring at Captain Ma and his men. "Take all six of them away!"

Captain Fengming couldn't believe his ears and finally couldn't hold back anymore. He thought that as long as he didn't speak or show his face, he would be fine, but he never expected things to develop like this.

He jumped up from his seat, his face pale but his voice trembling, "General Manager Chen, it's not like that. We've been acting according to plan. It was that Said who made the first move, and we were forced to retaliate..."

His words were interrupted by the sound of the conference room door being pushed open.

When the door was opened from the outside, it wasn't the Phoenix Cry Club's own people who rushed in, but a group of men in black.

With brand-new insignia pinned to their shoulder straps, they moved in unison and with crisp, clean steps. After entering the room, they spread out in an orderly fashion, occupying several corners of the conference room, and then surrounded the six people from the Phoenix Cry Club.

Captain Ma panicked when two men grabbed him from either side. One of his arms was twisted behind his back and pinned down. His face turned pale. "No! Why?! It's all their fault! Why are they arresting us?!"

His voice echoed in the conference room, "They betrayed their teammates, sabotaged the mission, we...I..."

The man in black who was holding him didn't say anything, but with a flick of his wrist, he pressed him face down onto the table. His lips touched the table with a dull thud.

He swallowed back all his words, leaving only muffled gasps.

Captain Fengming was also held down by two people on the shoulders. He did not struggle, but just raised his head and looked in the opposite direction.

He saw a man emerge from behind the group of men in black. The man was tall and straight, wearing a long black coat, with short, neat hair. His face was expressionless, but he exuded an undeniable aura as he stood there.

"I am Shen Ci, the leader of the anti-foreign infiltration task force." The man stopped in front of General Manager Chen. "General Manager Chen, I have taken the person away as arranged by Chairman Liu and Chairman Mai."

General Manager Chen stood up from her seat. Her expression had softened somewhat but remained serious. "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Team Leader Shen."

Captain Fengming's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

How could this be?

Has it already been discussed by the chairmen of both clubs?

Dam Zero was just closed, wasn't it? How could they know about this so quickly?

His head was being pressed down, and he struggled to look to the side. There stood a silver-haired woman in the middle of the Dragon Club, staring coldly at him.

It seemed that he was only now beginning to realize that they had probably offended the wrong person.
