"How did the talks go?" Mike asked Luo Chen after getting out of the car.

Luo Chen returned a smile, indicating that there was no problem.

"Our location is the third villa ahead," Luo Chen announced loudly to the crowd.

Anyway, it's just one night's rest, and as long as nothing else comes up, everything is fine.

As for the cost, there's no need to worry about it at this point; completing the task is the most important thing.

"Wow, what a big house, and the decoration is so luxurious." As soon as she entered the villa, Jiang Xian'er couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as she looked at the interior decoration. In some ways, the level of luxury here was even better than that of the houses in Hope Town.

"Of course, this place is all about luxury. You think it's a place like Hope Town where mercenaries from all over gather, so there's no need to make it this luxurious? Think about it, spending money on weapons and equipment is different in today's world," Luo Chen explained.

These are two completely different directions. There are only five villas here. Apart from one that Wu Hao owns, the other two are like tourist rest stops.

The construction of Hope Town into this state is a complete waste, and Jiang Tao's vision is clearly superior to Wu Hao's.

"There are many rooms here, but for safety reasons, they will be uniformly allocated to ensure everyone's safety." Luo Chen inspected the villa.

Jiang Xian'er seemed not to understand Luo Chen's meaning and quickly raised her hand to indicate, "I want to sleep upstairs."

Luo Chen glanced at her, completely ignoring the girl's request.

"Don't rush, let us take a look first. You two go upstairs first," Luo Chen said to Mu Shiyu and the other girl.

He then looked at Mike, Mu Shanhai, and the others.

"Let's assign the tasks first. What do you think of this place? Even though it's only for one night's rest, I still have a creepy feeling about this place."

Mu Shanhai made no comment; he knew nothing about these things, as they were not his area of ​​expertise.

Mike looked around and said, "Being cautious is necessary, especially when we're on someone else's turf. No matter how many of them there are, generally speaking, we don't have much of an advantage over them. But for now, I'm not sure exactly what's wrong; I need to investigate further."

Luo Chen nodded and didn't ask the question anymore. Instead, he turned to Qi Tianlong and said, "How is your injury? Have them change your dressing again."

Qi Tianlong was quite grateful: "It's alright, I've recovered halfway, there's no major problem. Even if it comes to fighting, I can handle it."

As a grandmaster after all, although their strength is somewhat inferior to that of the grandmasters in the book, their physical attributes are still superior to those of ordinary people, and this must be acknowledged.

"Okay, you can sleep upstairs with Mu Shanhai, as well as Shi Yu and the others. I'll arrange for people to help. As for the rest of you, you can stay downstairs. Everyone can rest for a while. If you need to rest, go and rest. If you want to eat, do it quickly. Also, check the car's fuel level."

"Everyone, please note that you should never leave your gun unattended, and also, do not eat any food here indiscriminately, and try to boil water to drink."

After saying that, Luo Chen waved his hand, signaling everyone to take their places, and then he plopped down on the sofa, lying down on it.

Mike sat opposite Luo Chen and smiled slightly: "Not bad. I didn't expect you to solve so many things so easily. I have to admire you. It really is the era of the young now."

Luo Chen stretched his hands behind the sofa and whispered, "There's no way around it. After experiencing life and death, you have to learn some things. People grow through experience. If you don't plan ahead, all you'll end up with is the ability to get beaten up."

"Alright, no problem. I've already planned out the arrangements for tonight. Apart from those four, we have fifteen people left. I've left three people outside to guard the vehicle and the equipment and supplies on it, and I've also left three people outside the house to keep watch at night."

Luo Chen nodded: "You can arrange it. Have you observed it?"

Just as Mike was speaking, Luo Chen suddenly stood up and gestured for Mike to shut up.

Mike was taken aback, then became alert.

Luo Chen looked at the coffee table in the middle of the sofa, on which was a landline phone. He carefully lifted the phone and then gestured to the microphone.

Mike instantly understood and took out a multi-functional weapon knife from his body, handing it to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen took the box and quietly turned on the landline, revealing a bugging device inside.

Mike quickly stood up, gesturing to the other mercenaries as he said, "How about we keep watch according to this plan tonight?"

“Sure, Mu Shiyu and the others are upstairs. But let’s forget it. They’ve finally gotten a night’s rest, so let them come in and rest too. They’re leaving tomorrow anyway.” Luo Chen quickly agreed, taking the pen and paper from Number Five to write on.

"Have everyone thoroughly clean the house, don't make any noise, don't pay attention to listening devices, and check if there are any hidden cameras elsewhere." Luo Chen quickly wrote on a piece of paper and handed it to Number Five.

Number Five turned and left.

"I'll rest for a while. Call me when it's time to eat," Luo Chen gestured again.

But the note continued: "It's obvious these people are up to something, but I'm not sure if they're the ones chasing us. Tell everyone."

Mike looked cautious and deliberately stomped his foot on the floor to make a sound: "No problem, I'm leaving now."

After there was no more sound, Luo Chen carefully put the bug back in its place.

“There are no surveillance cameras in this small room,” Number Five reported to Luo Chen from a small storage room on the second floor.

"Got it. What about the other rooms? How many are there in total?"

"We found four in total, and there was also a hidden camera in the upstairs room. We didn't find anything else."

"These people have absolutely no professional ethics. We're all in the same boat. Do they think they're so smart that they have to put these things here? What's the point?" Mike was clearly puzzled. They were all mercenaries; surely they could spot these things?

"Alright, have the man go to sleep in the room with the surveillance cameras. As for the other listening devices, just pretend they never happened. Let everyone know, but don't expose them. If you need to discuss anything, just pass a note or come to this room."

Luo Chen hadn't expected this outcome, but Wu Hao seemed like the kind of person who would stop at nothing for profit.

However, it is unclear whether Wu Hao has any connection with that group of people.

"Brother Xiao, should we just retreat?" Number Five was very worried. If they stayed here, they would probably be surrounded and attacked.

"Leave? Try leaving now and see if he'll let you go. Leaving now would just be telling them, 'We know you're after us.' What kind of fool would we be?"
