Chapter 1073: The Little Bird's Worry

"Mr. Chen, that is not what I meant; I am not afraid of taking responsibility." Little Bird gave a bitter smile and said, "Right now, many hostile forces internationally are watching us, just waiting for us to make a mistake."

"If you were to take action, even if you are not one of our officials, those people would still treat you as one."

"When that happens, it will be a very powerful war of public opinion, and that is not a good thing for us." Little Bird hesitated for a moment before saying.

"I understand what you mean." Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I have a plan for this matter."

"That is good then." Little Bird nodded. Seeing Chen Yu so full of confidence, he found it hard to say anything more, but the look of worry on his face deepened.

"Is there anything else?" Chen Yu asked.

"No." Little Bird shook his head slightly, "I plan to take two people to scout the path. The target's name is Zakeer, and he is different from Ano."

"His forces are hidden in the Mountain region, and he has a certain amount of support locally. If we want to bring him back alive, I am afraid it will not be easy," Little Bird said.

"Right, who do you plan to take with you?" Chen Yu asked.

"I plan to take Anna and Madman. This is a small-scale scouting mission, so it is not suitable to bring too many people. What do you think?" Little Bird asked.

"Take Ling Yun with you," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"Uh... why—"

"Because your mission this time will not be easy," Chen Yu said.

"Captain, I request to join the mission." Ling Yun walked over from the side, a hint of pride on her face.

Chen Yu said this mission was not simple and even requested to bring her along; this was surely an affirmation of her abilities.

"Don't be proud too early. The reason I am having you brought along is not because your ability is so strong," Chen Yu glanced at her and said indifferently, "but to let you witness what a true powerhouse is."

Ling Yun was slightly stunned, then she let out a cold snort; she was still somewhat disdainful.

She felt that Chen Yu was deliberately suppressing her, and she said coldly, "Zakeer is nothing more than having more weapons and more men; other than that, there is nothing special about him."

"Then you should go and see for yourself; you will be greatly surprised when the time comes." Chen Yu smiled slightly. Regarding Ling Yun's confidence, he was noncommittal; this woman did not know how cruel real war was.

She knew even less that a true powerhouse is not someone who can just run away because they are agile.

"Mr. Chen... perhaps we shouldn't take her this time." Little Bird gave a bitter smile; he felt that Chen Yu was making things difficult for Ling Yun.

"Why not take her?" Chen Yu glanced at him and said, "Your mission this time has only one goal: to come back alive."

Chen Yu took out a silk pouch and handed it to Little Bird, saying, "My contact information is inside. Remember, unless it is the most dangerous moment, you must not open it at any other time."

"What is inside this?" Little Bird took the silk pouch with some hesitation.

"A Strategy to Repel the Enemy," Chen Yu said indifferently, "It can only be opened at a life-or-death moment; otherwise, it will be useless."

"Alright." Little Bird did not understand why this was, but he had no choice; he had to put the silk pouch away.

"Go," Chen Yu waved his hand.

The two bowed slightly to Chen Yu and then left the place.

"What is inside this Brocade Pouch? Shall we open it and see?" As soon as they were out the door, Ling Yun said curiously.

"No... Mr. Chen said it can only be opened at a critical moment." Little Bird shook his head.

"Do you believe everything he says? I feel more like he is just putting on a show. He isn't our real superior, so why are you so afraid of him?" Ling Yun said with some disdain.

"Ling Yun, regardless of whether he is our superior or not, we must listen to him now because that is the order we received," Little Bird said seriously.

"Why be so serious?" Ling Yun glanced at Little Bird coldly, "Your strength is not as good as mine."

"On the battlefield, it is not about who has the most strength," Little Bird shook his head.

"On the battlefield, the strong are king," Ling Yun said coldly, "Before graduation, my grades were better than yours."

"Then do you know why I was able to become a squad leader and you could not?" Little Bird smiled.

"Because you are a man; that is the difference between you and me," Ling Yun said.

"No, you still haven't recognized the reason to this day," Little Bird shook his head slightly and said.

"The reason? What reason?" Ling Yun looked at Little Bird with a suspicious face, not understanding what he meant.

"The reason is that you are too aggressive, and as a qualified commander, one must not only possess superior strength but also possess calm judgment."

Little Bird said seriously, "So Ling Yun, you are too arrogant. My words are honest advice that may be hard to hear; whether you are willing to listen or not, I must tell you: if you want to be a commander, you must learn to be humble."

"Because as a commander, you are responsible for the safety of the entire squad. A single moment of carelessness, and you will harm everyone."

Ling Yun was stunned. Little Bird had never spoken to her like this before. She looked up at Little Bird in surprise, seeing his expression was serious and not like he was joking as usual.

"Before Chen Yu came, you never spoke to me like this." Ling Yun glanced at Little Bird coldly, then stepped away from there.

Little Bird sighed helplessly. He shook his head and also left the place.

Today he had to prepare well; tonight, he would infiltrate that forbidden area.

Chen Yu followed Amin to a relatively secluded place.

This place was of course not the capital; after all, a person of Mr. Ming's status had to be constantly aware of political enemies who might appear at any time.

This was a villa in the capital of S Country. The place had beautiful mountains and clear waters with pleasant scenery. Mr. Ming brought Amin and two guards, and other than that, he did not bring anyone else.

It was hard to imagine that this person who symbolized the peak of power in S Country would actually appear here so openly with only three people.

Mr. Ming was very approachable; after all, he was the most capable among the recent generations of leaders in S Country, and he had no airs at all. If Chen Yu hadn't seen his photo earlier, he would have mostly likely taken him for a middle-aged uncle.

"Mr. Chen, hello." Seeing Chen Yu come over, Mr. Ming stood up and shook hands with Chen Yu.

"Hello, Mr. Ming. Sorry to have kept you waiting." Chen Yu smiled slightly and shook hands with Mr. Ming.

"Please sit." Mr. Ming invited Chen Yu to sit down, and one of the guards poured a cup of tea for Chen Yu.

"This is Long Jing from Huaxia. I personally like to drink it very much, and I also like Huaxia culture very much," Mr. Ming smiled.

"Good tea." Chen Yu nodded slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ming. I believe that in the coming decades, our Huaxia and S Country will definitely be able to live in harmony."
