Xu Neng caught the fleeting ruthlessness in Shen Qingshan's eyes, but he remained calm and reached out to shake hands with him.
"Let's cooperate well tonight!" Shen Qingshan nodded as he responded, switching from ruthlessness to sincerity in just 0.1 seconds.
Having spent many years on Wall Street, Xu had seen far too many of these hypocritical white men, and could tell what kind of person they were at a glance.
To deal with them, all you need to do is crush them with overwhelming strength and leave them far behind.
Noticing the subtle tension, Hu Tianhao laughed and said, "Hahaha, with the three of you in charge of the 'Ice Gathering,' I'm relieved."
Hu Tianhao narrowed his eyes, turned to look at Xiao Liu standing silently behind him, and said:
What are your thoughts on tonight's operation? Where might the breakthrough be?
This was clearly a test of Xiao Liu's abilities. As the organization's "prophet," he was bound to offer opinions that differed from those of ordinary people.
Xu Neng and Shen Qingshan also looked at him, wanting to take this opportunity to test his strength.
Xiao Liu originally thought he was just there for show at the meeting, but when he was suddenly asked a crucial question, he couldn't help but panic. To hide his nervousness, he could only force himself to remain calm.
I never experienced the "Frost Society" attacking Yujing City in my previous life, this question is too sudden!
He tried his best to gather information about Yujing City in his mind. Fortunately, he had been a real estate agent for more than ten years and was quite experienced. He had visited Yujing City many times and had a complete picture of it in his mind.
To buy himself more time to think, he made a show of improvisation, sketching a rough map of the neighborhood on the spot. While drawing, he mentally planned his attack, and then said:
"I think the key to breaching 'Yujing City' lies in its high walls! The defenses at the main gate and back gate are too strong, especially the main gate, which is sturdy and covered in snow. Forcing its way in would require enormous time and manpower. To break through quickly, we must start with the high walls."
Thinking back to the details of the last attack on the supermarket, even a small, unguarded back door took so much effort. In a high-end residential area like Yujingcheng, which is heavily guarded, the main gate is indeed the most difficult place to breach.
This idea coincided with Xu Neng's, and Xu Neng had to look at Xiao Liu with new respect. He re-examined the man and found that he was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.
Perhaps his utter humility was a facade? With Xu Hui's case as a precedent, he knew what an ambitious person would be like. It's common for incompetent people to act humbly, and he might have done it intentionally.
Hu Tianhao remained silent, listening attentively, while Shen Qingshan asked with great interest:
"In your opinion, given the size of this residential complex, which location would be the best to use as a breach point, given the high walls?"
Xiao Liu pointed to a location on the sketch: "I think it's here. It's far from both the front and back gates, so the defenses must be weak."
"Good! Little Liu is quite capable!" Hu Tianhao patted Little Liu on the shoulder and smiled as he looked at Xu Neng:
"Tonight's success or failure depends on the two of you. I don't want to see the 'Ice Clan' suffer a third defeat!"
Xiao Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief; this hurdle had finally been overcome safely.
Shen Qingshan looked at Xu Neng with a half-smile, trying to glean something from his expression, but Xu Neng completely ignored him, not even glancing at him, and was only staring at the blueprints on the table, deep in thought.
This feeling made Shen Qingshan very uneasy, yet he was helpless. These details did not escape Hu Tianhao's notice, and he lowered his voice to say to Shen Qingshan:
"A true man doesn't concern himself with trifles; you need to gain more experience."
"Yes, the leader is absolutely right!" Shen Qingshan withdrew his gaze, looked steadily at Hu Tianhao, and nodded.
Back at his lodgings, Xu Neng immediately redrawn a sketch, which was exactly the same as the one he had just seen. With his photographic memory, drawing was a piece of cake for him.
But is tonight really as easy as Xiao Liu just said?
Xu Neng's goal is not only to seize "Yujing City", but also to capture Chu Xiang alive.
Previously, affected by the blizzard, this hatred had been hidden in his heart, but now that he finally had the chance, he had already prepared a hundred ways to torture Chu Xiang...
"Mr. Xu, Chen Nian has been taken away by Shen Qingshan."
Xiao Gao came to report to Xu Neng.
Xu Neng originally wanted Xiao Gao to go to the death row to retrieve Chen Nian's documents, but Shen Qingshan beat him to it.
"Chen Nian has already joined Shen Qingshan's team?"
"Yes."
Although Xu Neng was a little worried, now that the man had been released from death row, he had fulfilled his promise to Wang Feifei and joined the organization, so at least his life was safe.
As for which side Chen Nian chooses to join, that can only be determined by his own judgment; it is too late to interfere now.
"However, it seems that Shen Qingshan is very curious about me..." Xu Neng rubbed the pen in his hand and then put it down.
"Xiao Gao, you'll be working with me tonight. Your mission is to secretly capture Chu Xiang alive."
A hint of shock flashed in Xiao Gao's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "Yes," and then left the room.
Xu Neng looked at the blueprints on the table and had a premonition that tonight would not be as simple as he had imagined. The only thing he knew so far was that the security captain who had withstood two rounds of attacks was a retired soldier.
"He's more formidable than I imagined." Xu Neng pondered how to approach him; his combat prowess must be astonishing...
At this time, the outdoor temperature had dropped to minus thirty degrees Celsius. Blizzard, freezing rain and strong winds damaged several large high-voltage power towers, and the entire city began a long power outage.
Before long, the indoor temperature will plummet, followed by the water supply being cut off, and the real disaster will begin...
Wang Feifei glanced at the messages in the group chat and had already sensed what was going to happen. Just then, Xu Neng called.
Xu Neng's slightly magnetic voice came through:
"How are things on your end? Chen Nian has become a Level 3 Apostle. Although he's not in my group, he should be safe."
"Thank you, Xu Neng." Wang Feifei looked out the window at the white expanse and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. Tonight would be a disaster for most people.
Seeing that Wang Feifei remained silent for a long time, Xu Neng became a little worried. He tentatively asked, "Is your place still safe? Has it been searched by the 'Ice Society'?"
"They haven't searched yet, so it's safe for now."
Xu Neng guessed from this sentence that Wang Feifei lived in the suburbs, which reassured him greatly. He said softly:
"Then take good care of yourself. Call me anytime if anything happens, if..."
"What?"
"If you encounter the Ice Clan, contact me immediately. I might be able to help you resolve the problem."
Wang Feifei remained silent for a long time, her doubts growing stronger, until she finally made up her mind to ask:
"Xu Neng, don't you resent what I did to Xu Hui? Why are you still so concerned about me?"
"Xu Hui's situation is his own doing, it has nothing to do with you. Besides, do you really not know why I've always cared about you?" Xu Neng's voice trembled slightly...
