With a solemn expression, Xiao Weiguo led Liu Changhe into the back seat of the Crown car parked by the roadside.
At this moment, he was filled with tension and unease, because this matter was of utmost importance and could not tolerate the slightest negligence or mistake.
If this matter were to be leaked, neither he nor Liu Changhe, who was beside him, would likely be able to withstand the immense pressure brought about by the consequences.
After the two were seated, Xiao Weiguo quickly reached out and closed the car door, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
He took out two cigarettes, handed one to Liu Changhe, and lit one for himself as well.
He took a deep drag on his cigarette, as if trying to calm the surging emotions in his heart with the smoke.
After a brief pause, Xiao Weiguo slowly turned around and faced Liu Changhe, speaking to him.
"Uncle Liu..."
Before he finished speaking, he took another deep drag of his cigarette, as if only in this way could he calm himself down a little.
Since they met, Liu Changhe had never seen Xiao Weiguo so cautious and meticulous.
He could tell from the other person's expression and actions that the matter to be discussed was certainly unusual.
The fact that Xiao Weiguo, who is usually decisive and confident, could become so cautious must be no small matter.
Liu Changhe nodded solemnly, indicating his understanding of the severity of the current situation, and responded.
"Speak! As long as it's within my power, I will do my best to help you; even if some things are beyond my ability, I assure you, I will never reveal a single word to anyone."
Hearing Liu Changhe's sincere words, Xiao Weiguo gave a bitter smile, shook his head slightly, and then said softly.
"Uncle, to be honest, it's really unlikely that you can handle this all by yourself. However, you can do me a big favor..."
At this point, Xiao Weiguo paused slightly, his gaze fixed on Liu Changhe, as if considering how to phrase his next words more appropriately.
Upon hearing this, Liu Changhe understood that what Xiao Weiguo was about to do was absolutely earth-shattering and groundbreaking!
This matter was so significant that even he, as the head of the Public Security Bureau, found it difficult to get deeply involved.
Liu Changhe's expression instantly turned serious. He stared intently at Xiao Weiguo, his slightly furrowed brows seemingly tied in a knot.
"Tell me quickly, what exactly are you planning to do? Although your Uncle Liu is not young, he is still a veteran who has fought his way out of the war-torn battlefield. He might actually be able to give you some advice."
Liu Changhe said with a solemn expression.
"Yes, that's exactly what I meant."
Xiao Weiguo nodded in agreement and frankly admitted that he did hope to get Liu Changhe's assistance and advice.
His eyes shone brightly, like two torches shooting straight at Liu Changhe, and then he slowly uttered a sentence, word by word.
"Uncle Liu, I want to build a mercenary army overseas."
"Wh...what? Oh my god!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Changhe was shocked and nearly jumped up from his seat as if he had been electrocuted.
Because of the sudden and violent movement, his head unexpectedly hit the roof of the car. A dull thud was heard, deafening, as if a heavy hammer had slammed into the car.
The sudden impact caused the entire car to shake violently several times.
"Boy, do you even know what nonsense you're spouting right now?"
With a gloomy expression, Liu Changhe ripped off his hat and rubbed his aching head repeatedly. At the same time, he stared wide-eyed at Xiao Weiguo in front of him, his face full of disbelief.
It seems utterly unimaginable that these words would come from Xiao Weiguo's mouth.
"Don't you understand? The words you just said have seriously crossed the legal line!"
"If you really dare to put it into practice, there's no need for anyone else; I'll personally shoot you in the head without hesitation, so you'll suffer less torment and pain!"
It's important to understand that the term "mercenary" is a taboo subject in the vast land of China, something that people are terrified of and avoid discussing.
Not to mention that no mercenary group can openly step into the borders of the Dragon Kingdom.
Even every citizen of the Dragon Kingdom is strictly prohibited from forming so-called private mercenary groups.
However, faced with Liu Changhe's intense reaction, Xiao Weiguo remained calm and composed, not even twitching his eyebrows, as if he had already fully understood Liu Changhe's behavior.
Then, he calmly reached out a hand, gently placed it on Liu Changhe's shoulder, pressed it slightly, and said in a slow voice.
"Uncle, please don't get so angry. Listen to me for a bit, okay? Getting angry like this isn't good for your health. Calm down first. Let me finish what I have to say, okay?"
However, Liu Changhe remained unmoved. He frowned, his face full of anger, and responded decisively.
"What else is there to say? Humph! If you could come up with another way, maybe I could consider helping you, but don't even think about it! We have to have a bottom line. I will never tolerate you doing anything that violates the law!"
After saying that, he waved his hand forcefully, as if to emphasize his firm stance.
Faced with this old comrade who was so principled as to be almost stubborn, Xiao Weiguo felt helpless.
But he knew the other person's temperament well, so he could only suppress his inner anxiety and try to appear calm before slowly opening his mouth again.
"Uncle, didn't you notice the wording I used just now? I said we were going to build a mercenary team in a faraway overseas country, not to do this kind of thing in our own country!"
However, Liu Changhe continued to shake his head firmly, unmoved.
His eyes were piercing as he stared intently at Xiao Weiguo, and he responded in a serious tone.
"Even so, that's absolutely unacceptable! This matter is related to you no matter what, so there's absolutely no room for negotiation. I cannot stand by and watch you take a wrong step because of a moment of confusion, and ultimately fall into an abyss from which you can't escape!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Weiguo couldn't help but chuckle. His previously tense face instantly relaxed, and he even revealed a hint of smugness.
He adjusted his posture slightly, leaned forward a little, and continued to ask.
"What if this has nothing to do with me at all?"
Just then, Liu Changhe, who had been in a state of rage, suddenly quieted down, as if he had been frozen in place. The extremely angry expression on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of surprise and confusion.
