Chapter 198: Chapter 194: The Eve of Action The middle-aged man in front of him was named Pang Jiulin. When Ling Chen first joined the Ghost Organization, it was Pang Jiulin who was in charge of training him. In his heart, he had always regarded Pang Jiulin as his guide. However, as he grew and became capable of handling matters independently, Pang Jiulin retired and was no longer reachable. "Instructor Pang, you’re not..." Pang Jiulin glanced at the others, pulled Ling Chen aside, and whispered: "I did leave the Ghosts, but I’m now a member of Lonely Wolf." "Lonely Wolf?" Ling Chen suddenly realized. The General had mentioned Lonely Wolf to him before; Lonely Wolf was a secret organization established on the basis of the Ghost Organization. Its members were all selected from the Ghost Organization. Simply put, the Ghost Organization was responsible for cultivating combat abilities and experience in its members, and when the time was ripe, they could join Lonely Wolf. Lonely Wolf was the main force against the God Organization. If he hadn’t retired now, he would also be eligible to join Lonely Wolf. "Alright, we can catch up another time when we’re free, but don’t forget our main mission this time." Ling Chen nodded, tossed his luggage aside, and sat down on the sofa to rest. This private residence was their base for this operation. They chose this location instead of a hotel mainly to avoid the God Organization from detecting their entry into the country. "You’ve been on the plane for so long, you all must be tired, have some food first. Later, I’ll take you around to check out the surrounding environment," Pang Jiulin arranged. After lunch, everyone took the business van driven by Pang Jiulin and toured the surrounding area. Before long, the business van left the city area and came to the outskirts. After more than ten minutes, Pang Jiulin parked the vehicle in a secluded spot and gestured for everyone to get out of the van. Through a dense forest, Pang Jiulin stopped, looked around, and said, "We’re here, this is our target building." Ling Chen looked up to see a factory about a hundred meters from the dense woods, with a total area of several thousand square meters. Besides the high walls, it was also enclosed with electric fencing. It was broad daylight, but the factory gates were closed tight, and only a few scattered individuals could be seen walking around inside. "According to the video IP location, Yang Tao is being held inside this factory. Moreover, I’ve investigated, and this factory outwardly claims to be engaged in the production of daily goods, but in reality, it’s processing weapons. Armaments smuggled in the Asian region are all shipped from here." Hearing Pang Jiulin’s words, Tang Yuan murmured to himself, "The security here doesn’t seem very tight." "If you think that, you’re making a big mistake. I’m telling you, the defense level of this factory is very high, almost no different from the Ghost Base. We suspect that this could very well be a secret base arranged by the God Organization." Ling Chen asked, "Instructor, is there a way to get in?" "Not yet, I’ve collected quite a bit of intelligence regarding this factory, we’ll go back and study it more. For the next few days, we’ll familiarize ourselves with the terrain and formulate a good plan." "Instructor Pang, have our equipments arrived?" "No equipment!" "No?" Not only Tang Yuan, who asked, but everyone else was stunned as well, "Are you telling us to fight them with bare hands? Instructor Pang, you can’t mess with us like this." Pang Jiulin said sternly, "We must not use weapons for this operation. This is an armaments factory; there are many flammable and explosive prohibited items inside. If a fire breaks out, we’re all done for. Remember, this is a rescue operation, not a suicide mission, the best outcome is to stealthily rescue the person." Everyone gave a wry smile helplessly. Not being allowed to use weapons undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the mission several times over. However, what they were more concerned about was their own safety. As Pang Jiulin said, this was a rescue operation, not a suicide mission. Noticing everyone’s concerns, Pang Jiulin smiled and said, "Don’t be nervous. We can’t use weapons, and neither can they. This country has a strict ban on firearms; anyone who dares to shoot will immediately attract a horde of police. They’re not so foolish as to expose themselves." "Really?" Everyone sighed with relief in unison. In terms of skills, the members of the Ghost Organization had never feared anyone. Returning to the apartment building, Pang Jiulin laid out all the information collected in the past two days for everyone’s reference, pooling wisdom to create the best strategy. Ling Chen greatly admired Pang Jiulin’s methods. In just under two days, he had managed to get his hands on the factory’s blueprints, which would be of great benefit to their mission. Pang Jiulin explained, "The factory was originally built with government funding to provide jobs for the citizens. Later, as the tourism industry developed, fewer people were willing to work in factories, so it was put up for sale, and eventually bought by an arms dealer, but the blueprints remained in the local Construction Bureau." Ling Chen scrutinized the blueprint, looking for a route that would allow entry. After the recent on-site observation, they noticed that the factory was protected by an electric fence. Tampering with the fence would likely alert the enemy, so this plan had to be abandoned. "Instructor, look here." Not long after, Ling Chen found a breakthrough and marked it on the blueprint with a pen. "This is the factory’s sewage drainage pipe. It’s half a meter in diameter and over four hundred meters long, extending from the factory to the sewage treatment plant. We can try to sneak in through here." "Crawling through over four hundred meters... With our physical capability, we should be able to endure it. Let’s do this, I’ll go check it out first. If there are no issues, we’ll proceed with your plan." "Instructor, do you want me to accompany you?" Pang Jiulin waved his hand in refusal, "No need, you should rest well. Oh, by the way, the nightlife in this country is not bad. Since you are here, why not take them out to relax and not wind yourself up too tightly?" Ling Chen smirked with a knowing smile and nodded, "Sure, I’ll certainly give everyone a chance to broaden their horizons." It was an unwritten rule in the Ghost Organization – before executing a mission, everyone would indulge in pleasures and relax themselves since nobody knew if the next mission could be their last. Initially, the organization was resistant to this behavior, but over time it became a habit, and even the General accepted it. Night fell. The lights of Nicosia City came on, and the streets were filled with tourists. Locals in eccentric costumes performed zealously, and vendors crammed the streetside, an atmosphere of opulence and bustle. Ling Chen, accompanied by Tang Yuan and a few others, strolled on the street before heading straight to Nicosia City’s biggest bar. Entering the bar, Ling Chen cautioned, "Don’t stay out too late." Lao Bei and two others hurriedly dropped a ’we know,’ then enthusiastically plunged into the crowd, searching for their night’s conquests. "Old virgin, aren’t you coming?" "You know that’s not my thing." "Well, I won’t keep you company then." Tang Yuan looked at a blond-haired, blue-eyed girl nearby, his eyes sparkling. Ling Chen teased him, "Get lost, I don’t need your company." After Tang Yuan left, he went to the bar alone, ordered a bottle of beer, and enjoyed the surrounding excitement. At that moment, a woman walked into the bar with leisurely steps. As the woman appeared, the patrons around the bar immediately became quiet, staring at the woman, unable to take their eyes off her. Ling Chen glanced out of the corner of his eye and was suddenly taken aback. Why is it her?
