The car is going very fast, please bear with it.

Frank never fights a war unprepared.

He wouldn't be careless in the slightest, even in a completely unfamiliar country, or the legendary "forbidden zone".

Even so, the time was still too tight.

Although I have gained some understanding of China, it's not much.

Fortunately, he doesn't need to stay here for too long; once he completes his mission, he can return soon.

But that's assuming everything goes smoothly.

As the car sped along the road, Frank's mind wandered to the starkly different architectural styles.

"News and media outlets all say that China is incredibly backward, with extremely poor air quality and an unbearable stench everywhere."

"I thought so too before I actively tried to understand China."

"Even though I had known about it beforehand, experiencing it firsthand still feels incredible."

"So this is the real China."

Bright streetlights.

The dazzling night view of the skyscrapers in the distance...

Congested traffic and dense crowds.

It paints a picture that seems to depict a future world.

Even Frank, a seasoned veteran, felt a chill run down his spine at this moment.

"Developed countries or developing countries?"

His lips twitched slightly.

What is all this nonsense?!

In comparison, why does my "hometown," that so-called old developed country, seem so incredibly backward?

There's no trace of developed countries here; it feels like living in the Third World.

"call···"

"Perhaps, it's not bad to get out for a walk once in a while."

Shocked, Frank smiled slightly: "Completely unfamiliar scenery, a completely different environment, and a much broader perspective."

"if···"

"It would be better if these employers didn't have to go through all this trouble."

A dozen minutes later.

The car was parked outside what appeared to be an ordinary warehouse.

"Please come with me, Mr. Frank."

The driver had already taken off his mask.

After getting off the bus, Frank's gaze swept across his face and drew a conclusion.

This was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, but occasionally a murderous glint would flash in his eyes, suggesting he was a ruthless person who had killed people before.

It cannot be completely ignored.

Frank nodded slightly and followed him into the warehouse.

A moment later, Frank frowned deeply.

"mark?"

"Frank?"

Both of them were taken aback.

They were comrades-in-arms, served together, and were even more so, bound by a bond of life and death.

However, after retiring, due to differences in their philosophies and ideas, they have long since parted ways, and over the years, they have been both rivals and friends.

Frank was somewhat annoyed: "You're what they call my partner?"

Mark grinned maliciously: "I didn't expect them to actually send you."

"Is this target really that difficult? They actually want both of us to act at the same time?"

The middle-aged man said calmly, "The target may not be particularly difficult, but this is China after all, and my boss will not allow any more mistakes to occur."

"After all, time waits for no one, and he can't afford to wait any longer."

"Therefore, you need to work together to complete the task in order to receive the final payment."

Mark scoffed and pressed, "Mission details?"

Frank, however, stood up, ready to back down.

"Rules are rules."

The middle-aged man quickly stood up to stop him: "It's alright, I won't reveal the details, and I won't break your rules."

"All you have to do is drive the cars you've prepared to this address at 9 PM China time tonight."

He took out two pre-written addresses and handed them to the two men respectively.

"Then, someone will put the package in your trunk."

"When the time comes, don't say or ask anything."

"Then deliver the package to this address, and the mission is complete."

The two looked toward their destination.

It seems to be a small helicopter company?

Frank didn't want to say anything more, took the address, and turned to leave.

Mark frowned slightly: "It's too vague. I need more precise mission details."

「···」

······

I'm hungry.

It was a little past eight o'clock at night.

Gan Ning felt refreshed after getting up, but after several battles, he had exhausted too much energy: "Let's go, let's get this little slut roasted."

Liu Jun chuckled: "Let's go!"

"You know what, after not eating it for a while, I really crave it."

"The beef and mutton in western Sichuan are good, but the barbecue in the Sichuan and Chongqing area... it's so spicy!"

"Let's go to that place." Gan Ning fiddled with his phone. "I saw a video of a place today that said the food was really good and the prices were cheap."

"Give it a try."

"Let's go!"

The two immediately drove there.

About half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.

But after parking the car, the two of them hesitated after just one glance.

"So many people?"

"Won't we have to wait in line?"

"What number do we have to get in line?"

"Oh well, what's done is done."

"Okay, let's do it then. I'll go get a number."

The two whispered among themselves. Gan Ning went to get a number and then sat down on the stool prepared by the merchant, enjoying free sunflower seeds, drinks, and mineral water.

Inside a house.

Frank changed into a brand-new shirt and suit, and put on a carefully selected watch, looking spotless and meticulous.

He then went down to his private garage and carefully inspected the war machine that he had spent a lot of money to modify and send to China.

audi A8 W12.

B6-level bulletproof, reinforced chassis, doors, and run-flat tires.

Powertrain tuning, four-wheel drive optimization, enhanced brakes/suspension, and high-speed stability system.

Customized GPS/tracking, password start, in-vehicle monitoring, and emergency communication.

Concealed compartment, quick-release mechanism, explosion-proof sensor, remote/emergency control.

Underwater escape adaptation and magnetic explosion early warning.

He was completely focused, examining every single detail.

It was as if he were caressing the woman he loved most.

After confirming that there were no problems, I got into the driver's seat and opened the garage door.

One-click fingerprint start.

boom!

The W12 engine roared.

Like the king of beasts roaring.

Frank narrowed his eyes, an unparalleled pleasure beginning to spread.

Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~!

With the engine roaring as he floored the accelerator, Frank checked the time again before releasing the brake.

boom!

The Audi launched itself, sped out of the garage, and disappeared into the night.

"I'm so full."

Liu Qian rubbed her tummy and giggled, "Spicy hot pot is still the best."

"Unfortunately, my parents insist that it's unhealthy and make me eat more white food, which I find really annoying."

"That's why I basically don't go home now; it's more comfortable hanging out with you."

The little goldfish laughed and said, "You're such a little foodie."

Liu Qian muttered, "And you're talking about me! I haven't seen you eat less than me, but you eat so much, how come you don't gain weight? Your belly hasn't grown at all, where did all your food go?"

"Oh dear, I'm a little thirsty, would you like something to drink?"

The little goldfish thought for a moment: "There's a young woman from Shanghai at the entrance of the mall."

"Pfft, what a Shanghai housewife." Liu Qian laughed out loud: "But I still prefer Mixue lemonade."

"It's a bit cheap, but it's really refreshing to drink. Why don't you give it a try?"

"Then let's give it a try." The little goldfish nodded.

The two chatted as they left the mall and squeezed into the crowded flow of people in front of Mixue.
