When the car got close, Ning Hao and the others didn't even need to wave to stop; the car stopped on its own when it reached them.

Even Ning Hao was surprised when he saw the face that appeared in the cockpit.

"Dad, what are you doing here?"

Ning Hao was a little dazed by Gu Zhengfeng's big smiling face. What was wrong with his father-in-law? Why was he so happy at this time? It shouldn't be like this.

Even if you like him as your son-in-law, there are so many people around, can't you tone it down a bit?

Gu Zhengfeng was indeed happy. Firstly, he was happy to see his son-in-law, and secondly, he had accomplished something significant.

"Haozi, come here and see who your father brought with him."

Gu Zhengfeng knew that his son-in-law was guarding the place. Because he knew, he wasn't worried from the beginning. In addition, his daughter had reminded him earlier, and he had already prepared a lot of supplies in advance.

Ning Hao looked at Gu Zhengfeng in surprise. He couldn't imagine who his father-in-law had brought. Could it be Jiang Qiao?

However, as far as he knew, his wife was definitely not idle at this critical juncture either, and might even be busier than him.

The fight against Cobra has reached a critical juncture, and Jiang Qiao certainly won't give up this opportunity.

Gu Zhengfeng waved to the car behind him and said, "Bring the person over here."

Ning Hao and his group saw several people get off the truck behind them. One of them was dressed in tattered clothes and his face was dirty, but Ning Hao felt that his face shape and eyes were familiar.

"Dad, he... he's the strategist?"

Gu Zhengfeng patted his son-in-law on the shoulder with his large hand. "Not bad, you have good judgment. You are indeed my son-in-law. I am entrusting this person to you. You can handle the rest."

Ning Hao asked anxiously, "No, Dad, what exactly happened? How did he end up in your hands?"

Gu Zhengfeng laughed heartily, "What a coincidence! This guy originally wanted to lie on the road and pretend to be dead. Who do you think I am? My daughter was harmed like this by them, do you think I don't remember what they look like?"

Especially at this time of year, going to a secluded place is suspicious in itself; he was trying to sneak into our car and take advantage of the situation.

It's a pity, I'm Jiang Qiao's father. With such an outstanding daughter, I, as her father, can't be anything less than excellent.

Moreover, Director Jiang already told me that if you were here, I would have someone tie you up and send you here. The man has been caught. Haozi, hurry up and take your men back to report. Dad still has to go to the front lines.”

With everyone captured, Ning Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad, I want to go with you. We'll be seeing this person and the other comrades off. I'm worried about you going."

Gu Zhengfeng's face immediately darkened. "No, you have to go back. I know you're worried about me, but don't forget, Jiang Qiao is pregnant. She needs your care even more. If you take good care of the family, that's helping me. I have arrangements here, so don't cause any trouble."

I'm entrusting this person to you now, I'm leaving first—

Gu Zhengfeng didn't give Ning Hao a chance at all. He handed the person over to Ning Hao, waved to the people behind him, and the car drove away right in front of Ning Hao and his group.

Watching his father-in-law's car drive away, Ning Hao sighed deeply. He didn't want him to go, but once Jiang Qiao found out, given his wife's personality, she would probably make him go again whenever she had free time.

The strategist has been captured, and those hiding in the shadows have all come out.

"Ning Hao, hurry up and interrogate him, see if you can get anything out of him?"

Ning Hao nodded. "I think it's a good idea. Strategist, where is Cobra?"

The strategist ignored Ning Hao and Ye Xiuhe completely. He was unlucky today. He had planned everything, but he hadn't expected Gu Zhengfeng to come in person with his men. If it were an ordinary person, he might have succeeded. Those people couldn't just watch an old man like him freeze to death in the wilderness, could they?

So, he was furious about what happened today. He was so close to succeeding, but it was all ruined by Gu Zhengfeng. He never expected Gu Zhengfeng to be so capable, that even he couldn't get away with it.

The strategist ignored her, but Ye Xiuhe had plenty of ways to deal with him. They had only heard of this guy's name before, but today they had finally met him in person, so she had to give him a good talking to.

Although they didn't arrest this person themselves, the fact that he's been apprehended means they've successfully completed their mission.

He grabbed the strategist's chin and asked, "Haozi, do you have any medicine?"

Ye Xiuhe didn't even bother with that. She had seen plenty of die-hard strategists like the strategist, and some methods didn't work on such people.

Ning Hao actually had medicine on him. Jiang Qiao had prepared it for him just in case, and unexpectedly, it came in handy today.

She took out a pill and stuffed it directly into the strategist's mouth. With practiced ease, Ye Xiuhe lifted her chin, and the pill went straight down her throat.

However, her hand didn't leave the other person; she pinched his mouth, preventing the strategist from doing anything else.

In truth, the strategist didn't have the guts to do anything else. He didn't want to bite his tongue and commit suicide. If he wanted to, he would have done it long ago. He also had his own purposes with Cobra and Lone Wolf. He wanted to live well and live more comfortably than anyone else.

As for death, he never even considered it. With his intelligence, he felt he wouldn't be easily captured. Besides, if he died, wouldn't all his previous efforts have been in vain?

To say that the strategist had any great faith is pure nonsense. He just wanted to live the life of a superior person, nothing more.

Especially after Lone Wolf described life outside to him, he longed for it, which is why he devoted himself to working with these people.

It's a pity that even if the strategist has ideas now, it's too late. Ye Xiuhe is holding his chin, and once the drug takes effect, the strategist won't be able to avoid confessing.

However, the strategist's knowledge was limited. Cobra was not in the capital; he had left overnight, and the strategist did not know where he was hiding. The strategist only said that he had other missions to complete, and they would meet again there after that.

This time, regardless of whether he succeeds or not, Cobra told him to leave from the north, where someone would meet him, and even gave him the address and contact information for that meeting.

When Ning Hao heard from his strategist that they planned to attack Gu Zhengfeng from behind and that they intended to give the contact a "gift," Ning Hao was at a loss for words.

"You really dare to think that way, attacking from behind. What country are you from? You're even more despicable than those traitors and collaborators. Do you know of any other people hiding in the shadows who haven't been exposed yet?"

The strategist shook his head. "Cobra is also very wary of me. He doesn't tell me any of this. I just follow his orders. I only care about my own benefits. I don't care about anything else."

Ning Hao casually asked, "You're just going to go like this, without even bringing any travel money?"

This is purely out of curiosity. To be honest, I have no other intention than to know what benefits this strategist received from Cobra.

However, the strategist's answer still surprised him: "I have money and gold leaves hidden in my cotton-padded jacket and trousers. As for gold bars and such, I'll hide them and give some to my family."

Ye Xiuhe pressed further, "Where is it hidden?"
