A master of both medicine and martial arts, he recruits a beautiful CEO to cultivate immortality tog

Zhou Zixuan's voice continued.

"So our primary objective is to ascertain the situation inside Warehouse 13 in the Old Port. Pan Shi, you and Mo Yu form a team and use the equipment for remote scanning and signal listening; Tian Lang, you're experienced, take Qing Niao closer to the perimeter to find weak points for infiltration or observation. Captain Zhao, your men are responsible for perimeter support and monitoring for any possible reinforcements..."

Zhou Zixuan stood in front of the map, pointing to several locations with his finger, speaking rapidly.

He felt that he had considered everything thoroughly and that his arrangements were in line with conventional tactics.

This Senior Ye is just a figurehead; we still need him to get things done.

Ye Heng listened to Zhou Zixuan's plan.

I just felt extremely bored.

His plan was sound and comprehensive, but in reality, it was all based on existing intelligence that might already be outdated or anticipated by the other side.

Eclipse Moon isn't stupid. Since it dared to plan such a large operation in the Demon Sea, how could it leave such an obvious loophole for someone to exploit?

He couldn't think of any other outcome from this methodical investigation besides alerting the enemy.

Compaq didn't send him here to play house with these kids.

More importantly, Su Yingxue.

Although Su Yingxue had the protective jade pendant he left behind, which was enough to withstand ordinary dangers, the Eclipse Moon Organization was ruthless and unpredictable in its methods and involved foreign forces, so it was hard to guarantee that it would not resort to extreme measures.

Although the two people in front of me had a very unpleasant argument.

But he couldn't bring himself to put her at any potential risk.

Thinking of this, Ye Heng opened his eyes and walked towards the door.

Just as Zhou Zixuan was getting to the crucial point, he suddenly saw Ye Heng get up to leave, and his words caught in his throat, his brows furrowing.

"Captain Ye...?" His tone was clearly one of dissatisfaction and accusation.

"We are developing an action plan. Where are you headed?"

As the team leader, even if it's just a nominal position, he's still a member of the team. It's extremely irresponsible of him to leave without permission at such a crucial moment.

The atmosphere in the room froze instantly.

Zhao Tieshan was stunned. He looked at Zhou Zixuan, then at Ye Heng, whose hand was already on the doorknob, and didn't know what to do.

Sirius narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Ye Heng's back.

From the moment he got off the plane, he had been observing this "senior Ye" who was highly regarded by Director Kang.

The other party's apparent disregard for Zhou Zixuan was not cowardice or incompetence, but rather a kind of... indifference of not bothering to argue.

Ye Heng's actions at this moment confirmed his guess.

This senior probably didn't take Zhou Zixuan's "command" seriously at all.

Rock and Bluebird also stopped what they were doing, while Moyu looked up from behind the computer screen and adjusted his glasses.

Ye Heng paused on the doorknob, turned slightly to the side, and calmly swept his gaze over Zhou Zixuan's displeased face.

"You guys continue, I'm going out to take care of something."

"Get things done? Now?" Zhou Zixuan laughed in exasperation, finding Ye Heng utterly unreasonable.

"Captain Ye, we're on an emergency mission! The threat of Eclipse is imminent, every minute is precious! What personal matter could be more important than the mission?"

He took two steps forward, trying to intimidate the man: "Director Kang put you in charge because he trusts you. If you just quit now and something goes wrong, who will take responsibility?"

Ye Heng looked at Zhou Zixuan, his eyes still showing no emotion.

Responsibility? He never cared about what others thought of responsibility.

All he cares about is whether the people he cares about are safe.

"What I do is my business; as for the mission, you can proceed according to your own plans."

After saying that, he didn't linger, turned the doorknob, and went out.

"You!" Zhou Zixuan was surprised that Ye Heng was so disrespectful, and his face immediately turned ugly.

He wanted to chase after them to argue, but felt it would be beneath him. A lump formed in his throat, making him feel suffocated.

Tianlang's gaze swept over the closed door and Zhou Zixuan's gloomy face, and he made a decision in an instant.

Zhou Zixuan may have a powerful background, but Tianlang has more faith in his own judgment and Director Kang's insight.

This senior Ye's actions may seem abrupt, but they possess an inexplicable confidence.

Following him might be the only way to get to the real core of this mission, instead of just playing "commander games" with the young master of the Zhou family.

"Deputy Captain Zhou," Tianlang suddenly spoke.

"I'm requesting to join Captain Ye's operation. It'll be good to have another person to look after us."

Zhou Zixuan turned his head sharply, staring at Tianlang in disbelief: "Tianlang! What do you mean? The tasks were just assigned!"

"The plan can be adjusted. Rock and Bluebird are capable enough to complete the outer reconnaissance. Captain Ye is acting alone, and the risks are unknown. My presence will not only provide assistance but also ensure timely communication."

Sirius's words made perfect sense, but everyone in the room understood his true choice.

Zhou Zixuan's face turned pale and then red, and his chest heaved violently a few times.

He glanced at Sirius, whose face was expressionless but whose eyes were firm, and then at the other team members whose expressions were subtle. A surge of annoyance and embarrassment at being isolated welled up inside him.

"Fine, fine! You can all do it!" He gritted his teeth, squeezing out the words, "Go if you want to! Don't hold us back and ruin everything!"

Tianlang said no more, nodded to Zhou Zixuan, gestured to Zhao Tieshan, turned around, quickly opened the door, and chased after him.

"Senior Ye!" Tianlang quickened his pace to catch up.

Ye Heng seemed to have anticipated that he would follow, and his steps did not stop, but he slowed down slightly.

After Tianlang caught up to him half a step, he didn't ask any further questions, but simply said in a deep voice, "Senior Ye, I'm quite familiar with the roads in the Demon Sea. Do you need a vehicle? Or, where are you headed?"

Ye Heng turned his head and glanced at him.

This young man named Tianlang had a calm and sharp gaze, a quick mind, and acted with discretion, unlike Zhou Zixuan who was so impetuous.

Ye Heng took out his phone, and the screen displayed the interface of an encrypted communication software.

He swiped his finger and found a contact named "Jin Xuan," then dialed a voice call directly.

The phone rang only twice before being quickly answered.

"Senior Ye!" Jin Xuan's voice came through the receiver.

"You...you've arrived at the Demon Sea?"

"Where are you?"

"I'm at the temporary command post of the Demon Sea Spirit Group, analyzing the latest developments of Eclipse Moon with several leaders here," Jin Xuan replied quickly and respectfully.

"What can I do for you?"

"Send me your location. Stay where you are, I'm coming over." Ye Heng said and hung up the phone.

Almost simultaneously, precise coordinates were sent to Ye Heng's phone.

Sirius heard everything clearly and was deeply shaken.

Jin Xuan? That Jin Xuan, the deputy director of the Jinling Spirit Group, known for his fiery temper and powerful background?

He actually addressed Ye Heng as "senior" with such respect, even humility? Moreover, the way Ye Heng spoke to him was completely like a superior addressing a subordinate, even... carrying an unquestionable commanding tone.
