Chapter 2640

"What did you say?!"

The Yingzhu's voice suddenly rose eight degrees, incredulously questioning: "What's going on with him?! I assigned him a mission, and he actually went missing?!"

Wu Shutong hurriedly said: "Yingzhu... it might not be that Jian Gongbo himself voluntarily went missing... because... because..."

Yingzhu's voice was icy cold as he questioned: "Because what?! From now on, if you speak hesitantly again, you'll cut out your own tongue!"

Wu Shutong's heart trembled, and he anxiously said: "Reporting to Yingzhu! Cyprus Jiedushi Ni Zhenyu is also unreachable now, and even the backup Jiedushi we planted beside him has simultaneously gone missing..."

As he spoke, Wu Shutong continued: "Under normal circumstances, whether it's Ni Zhenyu or the backup Jiedushi, they must guarantee 24-hour communication availability—this is the most basic requirement..."

"Especially the backup Jiedushi, he personally has a dedicated contact method, because once the Jiedushi shows abnormality, he must immediately step in as a replacement, and even if necessary, he must execute the Jiedushi, so even if the Jiedushi loses contact, he absolutely should not lose contact..."

Yingzhu on the other end of the phone fell silent for about two seconds, then blurted out: "You mean the Cyprus base is already finished?!"

Wu Shutong's voice trembled as he said: "Yingzhu, your subordinate currently has no definite information, but the situation is truly dire; I worry that not only the Cyprus base, but even Jian Gongbo... has... already encountered misfortune!"

"Impossible!" Yingzhu blurted: "Ou Bojun has already mastered spiritual energy, his strength far surpasses ordinary martial artists—ten of you might not even be his match. Besides me and Changsheng Bo, I don't know who else in this world could kill him!"

Wu Shutong helplessly said: "Yingzhu... recently many things have been too strange; could there be some top-tier expert secretly opposing us? Since Ye Changying and his wife were slain by Changsheng Bo, so many years have passed without such trouble..."

Yingzhu coldly said: "I originally only sent Changsheng Bo to find Lin Waner's whereabouts, but this time I dispatched the other three marquises as well, precisely to have them thoroughly search for related clues, see if we can dig out the mastermind..."

Saying this, Yingzhu immediately added coldly: "Now is not the time to consider this matter! You must personally go to Cyprus immediately—I don't care what method you use, but before dawn, I must know exactly what happened in Cyprus!"

Wu Shutong said without hesitation: "Yingzhu, rest assured, your subordinate will depart now!"

Yingzhu instructed: "If anything changes, immediately arrange for all personnel stationed in Turkey to withdraw."

Wu Shutong hurriedly asked: "Then where should your subordinate withdraw these people to?"

Yingzhu fell silent for a moment, then coldly said: "Don't they have a ship dedicated to transporting copper ore? Take them all aboard, say you're withdrawing them to other African bases of the Right Military Governor's Office, then sail the freighter to international waters and directly blow it up and sink it."

Wu Shutong exclaimed in shock: "Yingzhu... you want to sink them all in the sea?!"

Yingzhu coldly said: "If Cyprus's copper ore really has a problem, it proves the other side has already figured out the copper ore situation; Turkey's copper smelting plant, as an enterprise closely tied to the copper ore, must have already been exposed before the enemy;"

"At this point, if we still bring these people to other bases of the Poqing Hui, isn't that just inviting wolves into the house?!"

"So the best solution is to take control of these people and eliminate them all at once! That way, even if we completely abandon the copper ore and smelting plant line, we can still temporarily isolate the potential danger!"

Wu Shutong helplessly could only say respectfully: "Understood, Yingzhu. Your subordinate understands, rest assured—I will definitely handle this properly!"

Yingzhu instructed: "Before sinking the ship, you must absolutely not let any of them see through your purpose; once they know we want to silence them, they might desperately expose our secrets. I want them to willingly board the ship, full of hope as they depart, then die silently without a sound!"

Wu Shutong immediately said: "Yingzhu, rest assured, your subordinate will definitely comply!"

Yingzhu said: "Rush to Cyprus; if any situation arises, report to me immediately!"

"Your subordinate obeys!"

Half an hour later, a private plane took off from Naples Airport.

Wu Shutong brought several confidants, carrying aerial drone equipment, and set off for Cyprus.

After the plane landed, they repeated the route of Jian Gongbo Ou Bojun—yes, ah, after leaving the airport they rented a car and drove to the copper mine's location.

At this time, the entire copper mine had already been surrounded by Cypriot official investigators, who were sealing off information while urgently conducting excavations at the scene.

The purpose of the excavation was to find out how many personnel casualties there were inside.

But what left the Cypriot officials utterly bewildered was that they conducted soil and building debris excavation at multiple points in the collapse zone, then also had relevant testing experts rapidly test the samples unearthed from multiple points, and the result was that these samples contained no human tissue at all, nor even human blood or even DNA.

In other words, there might be no one here at all, or perhaps there were simply no victims here.

This left the Cypriot official investigators greatly puzzled.

The entire copper mine had collapsed into a deep pit of ruins, yet it seemed no one was inside—so where did all those people go? Did they evacuate in advance?

But such a catastrophic accident must have happened very suddenly—how could these people possibly have had time to evacuate?

The only possibility is that these people had already completed their evacuation before the disaster struck.

If that's the case, then this is not an accident or natural disaster, but a premeditated man-made destruction.

But this makes it even harder to explain, because after all, this is a copper mine that has been built and operational for decades, with total investment of at least hundreds of millions of dollars—why would the owner destroy this place into ruins?

Just as they were utterly baffled, a sudden excited voice came from the walkie-talkie at the scene: "We've discovered a metal object similar to a warhead here, and there seems to be bloodstains on it too!"

The scene commander immediately blurted: "Quick! Bring it up, and remember not to contaminate the traces and bloodstains on it!"

Soon, the staff placed the unearthed metal warhead into a sealed bag and sent it over.

Although the commander is not a weapons expert, he could still tell at a glance that this is definitely a warhead, and moreover, its caliber is very large—clearly not an ordinary bullet warhead at first glance.

So he immediately took a photo of the warhead and sent it to the weapons expert, who quickly replied: this looks like a 30mm caliber close-in defense system shell warhead.

And the biologist at the scene also successfully detected human blood and DNA components from the warhead.

For a moment, the entire scene command post erupted in an uproar!
