Chapter 165 There is a mission
After eating and drinking, Director Wang cleared his throat and said, "There's one more thing. Since everyone is here, let's discuss it together."
Everyone was chatting, but when they heard Director Wang speak, they all looked at him.
Director Wang's expression grew serious. "I'm sure everyone has heard about Professor Zhao Tongwei's incident."
Everyone nodded.
"According to the information we just received, Professor Zhao did not commit suicide, nor did he commit suicide. Instead, he was taken away by the White Country military and secretly detained."
"The purpose of the Bai Kingdom's actions is very clear. They want to prevent Professor Zhao from bringing his research results back to China, and they also want to prevent talents like Professor Zhao from returning to China to promote my country's scientific and technological progress."
Except for Mu Qingzhou, everyone knew that Director Wang's sudden mention of Professor Zhao was not aimless, and it must be a mission.
Sure enough, Director Wang continued, "At present, our agents have found out where Professor Zhao is being held. The task of rescuing Professor Zhao and returning him to China has been assigned to our institute. Let's discuss it and see if we can come up with a practical plan."
Lin Xi thought for a moment and said, "I would like to apply to participate in this rescue operation."
Before Director Wang could even say anything, the others in the institute clamored in opposition, "Don't go. It's a part-time job, and your main priority right now is studying."
Everyone said at once: "That's right, it's not appropriate for you to go."
Director Wang also nodded and said, "This mission is too dangerous. You two newcomers should not participate."
Lin Xi shook her head. "I'm the most suitable person to go. I absorbed Daniel's crystal core and can become invisible. Besides, there's still space for me to hide Professor Zhao."
No one could refute this statement for a moment. It would definitely be difficult to bring Professor Zhao back to China, but it would be much easier if there was space.
Director Wang shook his head. "Invisibility and space are indeed advantages, but you're a celebrity now, and you're very popular. It's not easy to go to the White Country without a good reason. Moreover, once you enter the White Country, the media will definitely report it extensively, making it difficult to move around."
Lin Xi frowned. This was indeed a problem.
She is in school now and there is no reason for her to suddenly run to Baiguo.
If we change our appearance and enter the territory of the White Country, we may be discovered by the White Country's intelligence personnel very quickly.
She suddenly thought of something, "By the way, in which state is Professor Zhao imprisoned?"
Director Wang replied, "Connecticut."
Lin Xi thought for a moment and said, "Wait, I'll make a phone call first."
She got up and went out, calling Li Xiaoqiu.
"What kind of show was that White Country variety show you mentioned yesterday, and in which state was it filmed?"
Li Xiaoqiu was stunned for a moment. "The filming location? It seems to be Connecticut and several nearby states."
“The show is a tracking show.”
"Twenty ordinary people will pretend to be fugitives, and a team of elites selected from the FBI, the Military Intelligence Service, the CIA, and other places will form a pursuit team. If the fugitive remains at large for more than twenty-eight days without being apprehended, a huge reward will be offered."
"In order to avoid revealing their whereabouts, the entire process was filmed by invisible micro drones."
"They probably want to expand into the Flower Country market. Since you're incredibly popular in both the Flower Country and the White Country, they want to invite you to participate."
Lin Xi said "hmm", "If they call again, don't refuse them yet, just say you're still considering it."
Li Xiaoqiu agreed, and Lin Xi hung up the phone and went into the house.
She walked over to Director Wang and said, "I just happened to have an opportunity to go to Connecticut openly. I was invited to appear on a variety show."
"But the trouble is, there will be drones following us."
She thought for a moment and said, "It's not that troublesome. I can be invisible anyway, so no one can take pictures of me."
"Besides, if we want to end the filming, we can expose our whereabouts and get caught at any time."
"I feel that the more high-profile my past is, the less likely people will doubt me."
Director Wang thought about it calmly and decided that Lin Xi, who could be invisible and had space, was indeed the best person to rescue people.
After all, it was on the land of another country. It was not easy to open fire on them openly, and they might not be able to defeat them. Moreover, there was no doubt that if they really took action, Professor Zhao would most likely be executed on the spot. It would be best to rescue him secretly.
But emotionally, he didn't want Lin Xi to take risks.
Seeing him hesitate, Lin Xi unconsciously brought out the habits of her previous life and patted Director Wang on the shoulder, "Believe me, no one is more suitable than me."
Director Wang also nodded habitually.
Mu Qingzhou watched from afar and felt something was strange. He felt that Lin Xi was Director Wang's leader.
Director Wang now regrets giving Daniel's crystal core to Lin Xi. His original intention was to give Lin Xi an extra means of saving his life. If he encounters a situation like that in his previous life, there is a space to hide in. As long as he can endure for a period of time and not come out, he will have no problem staying alive.
Now it seems that Lin Xi is indeed the best candidate.
Director Wang ultimately had to prioritize the overall situation. He thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and nodded, "Alright then. You'll be the lead on this operation. I'll arrange for a few people to cooperate with you."
He pondered for a long time, "Which ones should I arrange?"
"Most of the people in the institute are registered with the CIA. I'm afraid they'll be targeted as soon as they enter the country. It's going to be difficult."
The two of them spoke in a neither loud nor quiet voice. Several people gathered around them. Xu Lin said, "I'll go, I'll go."
Director Wang shook his head, "You can't. You must have registered."
Zhou Ying came over and said, "Let me go. I'm at the research institute most of the time, so they probably don't have any information about me."
Director Wang thought for a moment and said, "You can go. You will be responsible for contacting the agents there and then passing the information to Lin Xi."
"Lin Xi can't contact the agents over there directly. It's too dangerous."
Zhou Ying nodded. That’s right, it’s better to leave the dangerous things to him.
"Also, Chen Bing is going with us this time, so if anyone gets injured they can get timely treatment."
"You three will form the first action group, and I will form a second group, which I will lead myself."
"The first plan is to use Lin Xi's invisibility and spatial abilities to rescue Professor Zhao quietly."
"If it fails, I will lead the second team to find another solution."
Lin Xi frowned, "Are you sure you can get a visa? Will there be any problem entering the country?"
Director Wang touched his chin and said, "It shouldn't be discovered so quickly if I change my identity."
Zhou Ying smiled beside him, "I think you are suitable to sign up for the Sunset Red Tour Group."
Director Wang's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea."
"The travel agency will naturally help you get a visa."
Director Wang also called Chen Bing over. "You'll be accompanying us on this mission. You rarely go on missions, so your information is always safe."
"You don't have any specific mission this time. Just stay close to Lin Xi so that she can provide timely treatment if there's any problem."
Chen Bing nodded. As long as Lin Xi was not injured, she would consider it a trip at public expense.
She happened to have a cousin in the White Country, so it made sense for her to travel at the same time under the pretext of visiting her cousin.
