I, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, am being kept by the state.

"Snapped!"

Inside the meeting room, Chen Dong slammed his hand hard on the table.

The solid wood tabletop made a muffled thud, causing the water in the teacup to splash out.

"This is outrageous!"

His face was ashen, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Wang Yijun was the head of JQ. His old brother, who had followed him through thick and thin for more than ten years, was almost killed right under their noses.

If something really goes wrong, it will be a huge political accident.

"The CIA is getting bolder and bolder."

Zhao Wenjin pushed up his glasses and lowered his voice, "What kind of place is Yufeng Mountain? They dared to send people infiltrate; they're testing our bottom line."

"A test?"

Chen Dong sneered, "This is blatant provocation!"

He turned and walked to the window, staring at the night outside.

"Fortunately, Lord Dragon is here."

Chen Dong took a deep breath, and the anger in his chest subsided slightly.

If it weren't for Long Zun's intervention, Wang Yijun would have been finished this time.

"How is Old Wang doing now?"

He turned around and asked.

"I just came out of the operating room, and the doctor said my condition is stable."

Zhao Wenjin opened the report in his hand: "Internal organs ruptured, three ribs broken, blood loss exceeding 1500 ml."

He paused, his voice sounding somewhat strained.

"The doctor said that under normal circumstances, people with this kind of injury would be sent to the hospital to prepare for their death."

"But not only did Old Wang survive, his vital signs are also recovering rapidly, which is simply a medical miracle."

Chen Dong didn't speak; he knew this wasn't a medical miracle.

It was the Dragon Lord's doing.

There was a few seconds of silence in the conference room.

"Where is that 'ghost'?"

Chen Dong asked.

"He died; he committed suicide by biting a poisonous plant."

Zhao Wenjin closed the report. "The body has been sent for autopsy. The preliminary assessment is that it belongs to a CIA agent. He had multiple old wounds on his body, all from actual combat."

"The fact that an assassin of this caliber could infiltrate Yufeng Mountain shows that there are still loopholes in our security."

Chen Dong nodded, turned around and called out towards the door.

"Xiao Li, call the head of the security team in."

Less than a minute later, a middle-aged man in uniform walked into the conference room, his face ashen.

"Director Chen..."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Chen Dong interrupted him, "Find out the security loopholes at Yufeng Mountain within three days."

"If you can't find out the truth, then you shouldn't be doing this job."

The middle-aged man trembled and immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"yes!"

After everyone left, Chen Dong sat back down in his chair and rubbed his temples.

"Burns is really desperate this time," Zhao Wenjin suddenly said. "Sending assassins to destroy the idol is a complete break with them."

"What's the rush?" Chen Dong sneered. "The more anxious he is, the greater the threat the Dragon Lord poses to them."

"This is a good thing."

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked in the direction of Yufeng Mountain in the distance.

The place was brightly lit and filled with the smoke of incense.

"Pass the word down to strengthen the defenses of Yufeng Mountain."

"In addition, send a letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stating that we have evidence that the CIA sent assassins to infiltrate our country."

"Let them give us an explanation."

Zhao Wenjin paused for a moment, then smiled.

"Are you trying to turn the tables on me?"

"Otherwise what?"

Chen Dong turned around, a cold glint in his eyes. "If they dare to make a move, we'll make them pay the price."

"This time, I'm going to let Burns know."

"There are some things that he can't do just because he wants to."

......

Across the ocean, at CIA headquarters.

"Fool! Who gave him the right to directly attack the top brass of the Dragon Kingdom?"

Burns slammed his hand on the table and jumped up from his chair.

The senior intelligence officers in the conference room all kept their heads down, and no one dared to utter a sound.

"I told him to destroy the idols, destroy the idols!"

Burns pointed at the report on the screen, his voice trembling, "So he used an infrasonic weapon on Wang Yijun?"

"This is an assassination attempt! An assassination attempt on the top leader of the Dragon Kingdom!"

He paced back and forth in the conference room, veins bulging on his forehead.

Although both sides were aware of the clandestine methods, directly assassinating the other's high-ranking officials completely changed the nature of the operation.

This is tantamount to a direct declaration of war.

"Chief, 'Ghost' might have done this to escape after being discovered..."

An intelligence officer spoke cautiously.

"Escape?"

Burns sneered, "He committed suicide by biting poison, what excuse does he have?"

"He just wanted to drag someone down with him, but he's made a huge mess of things for us!"

The atmosphere in the meeting room was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Burns stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.

"What's the reaction from China now?"

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent a note demanding an explanation from us."

The intelligence officer opened the file. "They say they have evidence that we sent assassins."

"evidence?"

Burns sneered, "'The Ghost' left nothing on him, what evidence could they possibly have?"

"But……"

The intelligence officer hesitated for a moment, then said, "Wang Yijun is still alive."

Burns' smile froze on his face.

"What?"

"Wang Yijun is still alive, and all his vital signs are recovering rapidly."

The intelligence officer's voice trembled slightly. "The doctor said it's a medical miracle."

Burns' face turned ashen instantly.

He was well aware of the power of infrasound weapons; with injuries like that, being sent to the hospital was basically a death sentence.

As a result, Wang Yijun not only survived, but also recovered rapidly.

"It's that dragon..."

He muttered to himself, a flicker of fear in his eyes.

The meeting room fell into dead silence.

After a long silence, Burns finally spoke.

"Notify the White House to prepare for diplomatic pressure from the Dragon Kingdom."

"Also, find out exactly how 'Ghost' was exposed."

He paused, his voice growing even colder.

"Also, I need to report in detail where the security loopholes are at Yufeng Mountain."

"Yes."

After everyone had left, Burns stood alone by the window, looking at the night outside.

He lit a cigar and took a deep drag.

The smoke slowly dissipated into the air.

"A complete service..."

He said in a low voice, "So, how exactly do I plan to deal with you?"
