Chapter 1069: Willing to Serve You
Yu Qiao said, "That imperial tomb is said to be a massive grave filled with traps. Back then, the Qing soldiers hired experts who knew how to locate dragon veins and acupoints to find treasure inside, but those who went in never came back out. I know my own limits, so I won't go there to join in the fun, lest I lose my own life."
"Heh, you're quite open-minded about it, but what makes you think I can retrieve the treasure from that place?" Chen Yu asked.
"Does that even need asking? How strong you are, Mr. Chen, is plain to see," Yu Qiao said with a chuckle. "In this world, if even Mr. Chen has no way to retrieve the treasure from there, then no one else should even think about it."
"Very well, I will keep this map for now. When I have time, I will naturally go and scout the path. If there are any gains inside, there will naturally be a share for you," Chen Yu said as he put away the treasure map.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I am willing to serve Mr. Chen for the rest of my life," Yu Qiao vowed solemnly.
Chen Yu nodded, and just as he turned to leave, he suddenly discovered a mark on one side of the gate, and this mark was a secret code.
Chen Yu furrowed his brows; this mark was recorded by the 'Hunter' squad, which had secretly infiltrated S Country.
This squad's objective was to bring Satan back to the country, but because Chen Yu had important matters to attend to here, the squad's plan was completely suspended, waiting for them to act only after Chen Yu finished his business.
Originally, Chen Yu was supposed to make contact with this squad after arriving here, but he hadn't had the chance yet; however, it seemed the other party had now come looking for him.
"Mr. Chen, what is it?" Yu Qiao asked.
"Someone has been inside and left this mark," Chen Yu said, pointing to the mark.
"What? Someone has been inside? That's impossible." Yu Qiao's face changed instantly. From last night until now, he had been guarding it strictly; let alone a person sneaking in, even a fly couldn't have flown in.
"Look, this mark was left by them, but it doesn't matter. They are people from Huaxia, a well-trained and very strong squad," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "They came here looking for me. Don't talk about you; even ordinary scouts would find them impossible to guard against."
"Does Mr. Chen have some grudge with them?" Yu Qiao was startled. To sneak in so stealthily, this squad must be extraordinary. If they were coming for Chen Yu, things might be a bit tricky.
"No grudge. Their leader asked me to come and assist them. It's fine, I'll just go to the agreed location tonight," Chen Yu smiled slightly.
Night, Hongxiu Street.
Hongxiu Street is a famous red-light district in S Country. This place is decadent and filled with tourists who come for its reputation to hunt for beauty; as long as you have enough money, all kinds of women can be found here.
Moreover, when Chen Yu entered this street, he passed by a glass curtain wall. Behind the transparent glass were small, partitioned rooms, and inside every room was a young woman dressed in revealing clothing.
These women had different skin tones, and they danced with graceful, alluring movements to attract the passing tourists.
In S Country, this aspect is legal, and it is a means to attract people. Chen Yu shook his head; he didn't know why the squad leader 'Little Bird' would choose this place to meet him.
However, the Hunter squad itself came from a special department, and their style of doing things wasn't exactly straight-laced. Little Bird was even more of a cynical guy, so being able to find this place could be considered normal.
After politely declining many scantily clad, sexy girls along the way, Chen Yu finally arrived at a bar.
At a booth, four men and two women, six people in total, were already sitting there.
Chen Yu slowly stepped forward, glanced at the group, and then smiled slightly: "Apologies, I'm late."
"No, not late, just in time." A man wearing a hat took it off and placed it on the table. He smiled slightly: "Let me introduce myself, I am Little Bird. You are Mr. Chen, right?"
"That's right, I am Chen Yu." Chen Yu stepped forward, shook his hand, and then scanned the rest of the people: "Introductions?"
"Madman, demolition expert," a man who looked sullen said.
"Machine Gun, sniper," a man stood up and shook hands with Chen Yu.
"Cannonball, close-quarters combat," a man with a short but extremely sturdy build stood up.
"Hello, Anna, responsible for remote monitoring and communications, drone support when necessary," a girl wearing headphones shook hands with Chen Yu.
"Ling Yun, regular member." The last girl glanced at Chen Yu without any intention of shaking hands.
Chen Yu took a few extra looks at Ling Yun. Generally speaking, such cold people were the real experts, and looking at Ling Yun's appearance, it seemed to confirm Chen Yu's thought. It was just that this girl was too cold and glamorous, as cold as a block of ice, making it impossible for people to get close to her.
"Hello everyone, I am the Chen Yu that General Chang Shoucheng spoke of. Sorry for delaying everyone's progress, but we may still need to wait a few days. However, I guarantee I will definitely assist everyone in completing the mission," Chen Yu smiled.
"If it weren't for you, we would have already returned to the country," Ling Yun glanced at Chen Yu. "General Chang said he was sending us an expert. Could it be that this expert is you?"
Chen Yu's guess was correct; Ling Yun was the most formidable one among this group, and also the coldest. Originally, this squad had a reputation within the system; as long as they set out, there was nothing they couldn't handle.
But this time, the higher-ups insisted on assigning someone to join them. That wasn't the most important thing; the most important thing was that this person was also going to replace their captain, which made this group unconvinced.
"Haha, Yunyun, obey the arrangements from above. Mr. Chen will be our leader from now on; all actions will require Mr. Chen's nod," Little Bird didn't mind this and said with a chuckle.
This guy Little Bird was a total smiling tiger. Don't look at how he was usually laughing and joking, and wore glasses, looking like a refined gentleman; but when things really happened, this guy was not ambiguous at all.
It was just that with these few words, he stirred up Ling Yun's temper again. Ling Yun coldly glanced at Chen Yu: "Our squad is invincible. As for the one assigned this time, who knows if he's a straw bag?"
As soon as the words fell, the scene became somewhat awkward.
Yes, everyone's thoughts were like this, but you couldn't say it to someone's face. However, these few people secretly gave Ling Yun a thumbs-up in their hearts; this woman really said what everyone wanted to say but didn't dare to.
"Why, do you think I'm a straw bag?" Chen Yu wasn't angry; he just turned his head to look at her and smiled faintly.
