Chapter 1006 Playing With Fire Brings Self-Destruction

emblem on it and waved it in front of the old man’s eyes. Then he said, "Sir, I am an officer from the capital city's police force here to investigate this matter. If you were paid by someone else to...Chapter 1006 Playing With Fire Will Burn Oneself

"They must be playing with fire, burning themselves. The news hasn't been released yet, but we can't predict when the insane Arrogio will announce it to the international community. If he does so and we fail to handle it properly, the complexity of this incident will skyrocket exponentially!" He Yan said. This matter had escalated to a national security level; Chinese citizens being collectively held hostage abroad would be intolerable for any country.

"What did they say" Wang Zheng's expression was grave.

"You should have guessed." He Yan's voice was heavy.

"Are you asking me to trade my life for it" Wang Zheng suddenly laughed. This smile, seen by Liu Xuan sitting across from him, made her feel uneasy.

"Yes," He Yan nodded. The leader of Ashmar Organization had already put forward conditions for releasing the hostages: handing over Wang Zheng at their disposal!

“If it’s something done by the Ashmar Organization, I would have guessed they’d propose such a condition.”

"However, you can choose to refuse. No one can force you," He Yan sighed.

"Refuse my ass, bastard! Are you insulting me" Wang Zheng said darkly. "What time is your flight"

“My car has been waiting for you downstairs at Liu Xuan’s place. Hurry up and get dressed.” He Yan said. “I knew you wouldn’t refuse.”

"You're following me"

"Following you Not at all, your whereabouts are no secret to me." He Yan said: "The plane will take off in an hour. Time waits for no one."

"I'll be there right away."

Wang Zheng hung up the phone and began putting on his shoes.

Liu Xuan hugged Wang Zheng from behind, letting her soft, high breasts press緊貼在他堅實的後背上。

"This time it's very dangerous, isn't it" Liu Xuan's voice was gentle, betraying an uncontainable worry.

Wang Zheng turned his face and gave Liu Xuan a reassuring smile: "When have I ever gone on a mission without danger"

"You must come back safe," Liu Xuan lightly held Wang Zheng's hand.

"Don't worry, no one in this world can kill me yet." Wang Zheng hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not tell Liu Xuan the news about Li Yiran being kidnapped.

This woman, although she had initially harbored some small ambitions to get close to him, later retracted her hands in time, and thus Wang Zheng didn't hold any ill will towards her. Li Yiran had helped Liu Xuan a lot in her acting career, becoming both a teacher and a friend; there was no need for Wang Zheng to tell Liu Xuan this news, as it would only add to her worries.

"I'm leaving."

Wang Zheng put on his shoes, preparing to leave. At that moment, Liu Xuan tiptoed and kissed Wang Zheng's lips.

Liu Xuan's kiss was very light, but it made Wang Zheng visibly shudder.

"You must keep yourself safe," Liu Xuan’s eyes were glistening as she clearly saw the intense anger in Wang Zheng just now. She had known this man for so long and never seen him act so out of control before. Seeing the veins on Wang Zheng's hand stand out, Liu Xuan was well aware that this separation would be more dangerous and uncertain than any previous ones.

"Time is tight; I need to go now." Wang Zheng patted Liu Xuan’s arm: "Don’t worry, everything will be fine."

Wang Zheng turned around and entered the elevator, leaving Liu Xuan leaning against the door with tears streaming down her face. This man was bearing too much, being so strong that it tugged at one's heartstrings.

Parked downstairs in the apartment complex was a silver Buick business van. Wang Zheng opened the car door and got right in; the vehicle immediately started up.

"I see you're soaked to the bone, did you take a shower without taking off your clothes" He Yan looked at Wang Zheng’s dripping wet clothes and found it hard to comprehend.

"Slipped into the bathtub." Wang Zheng didn't feel like explaining things to He Yan. He took off his wet clothes and wrung them out with an air of menace: "The Ashmere organization must be desperate."

“There are threats even more dangerous than Ashmere.” A glint flashed in He Yan’s eyes.

"I know." Wang Zheng shook his head: "A madman, in order to put me in a desperate situation, he actually dragged so many lives into it and even risked putting China at the center of international public opinion. He's truly insane!"

The person referred to by Wang Zheng and He Yan is naturally the masked man operating behind the scenes. If not for him setting up a series of traps for Wang Zheng in the Phoenix Hotel, Arlo Ming wouldn't have died there.

All these results are interconnected. In Wang Zheng's view, no one could be more mad than this masked man, but it can't be said whether he made the right move or not.

The African trip was extremely dangerous; perhaps Wang Zheng might lose his life over it. However, this masked man’s actions have undoubtedly put himself at odds with the entire country, placing China in such an awkward position on the international stage. How could those top-level leaders of the nation let him off easily Wang Zheng truly didn't know what kind of adjective to use for this person—is he too arrogant or just plain delusional

"We must quickly find out who this person is; leaving him around will only further endanger national security. Now, his head is so hot with rage that he can no longer control his actions, and the danger level has far exceeded our initial estimates."

"Indeed, we are in plain sight while the enemy lurks in darkness. If this person isn't dealt with soon, I might not be able to sleep well for a long time."

“Have those top leaders of the nation been informed about this” Wang Zheng asked. He had already realized that if he really went to Africa, his journey would be incredibly perilous; these terrorists were fanatics who could lose their humanity in pursuit of their beliefs, even more terrifying than some dark forces in the West.

"Of course, I wouldn’t be here in the capital if such matters weren’t reported. The higher-ups know," He Yan’s voice was solemn. After a ten-second pause, he continued: "The number one leader is furious."

“Number one leader” Wang Zheng didn't expect this matter to alarm this top-tier leader so quickly; after all, the latter stood at the pinnacle of China's political arena.

"Our emergency response system is quite robust. The Central Committee established an emergency task force for this incident half an hour ago, with the number one leader personally taking charge as the head. So," He Yan patted Wang Zheng heavily on his shoulder: "This time, Ashmir Organization is prepared to be wiped out completely. We have a fighting chance now.", both sides had exchanged hundreds of moves. Such speed was dizzying, leaving Li Minghao on the sidelines almost clapping and cheering!He wasn't truly there to spectate; rather, he wanted to take adv...
