“Brother, you’re really my brother! How did you do it?”
Zhushi Jiu had just gotten off the podium when Wang Chong rushed up to him, his face filled with shock and admiration.
Zhushi Jiu smiled slightly: “It’s no big deal, after injecting the serum, you can do it too.”
Wang Chong’s heart burned with excitement.
In reality, Zhushi Jiu was telling the truth. He could feel that after injecting the serum, his physical abilities had increased significantly, especially his reaction speed and dynamic vision. These two aspects had improved the most.
Other abilities, such as his super-strong memory and learning abilities, had also become the foundation of his strength.
“But brother, I’ve heard that the serum can only be injected by Black Soldiers. You’re not a Black Soldier yet, right?”
Zhushi Jiu revealed a surprised expression: “What, didn’t you know? I injected a lower-grade replacement serum that ordinary people can also use. I heard that the laboratory has stopped producing it, but many people can still get their hands on it.”
As soon as Zhushi Jiu said “many people can still get their hands on it”, Wang Chong’s heart skipped a beat!
He subconsciously looked at the two Black Soldiers standing beside him, who remained silent and still, seeming to confirm Zhushi Jiu’s words.
He secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and gave a thumbs-up: “No need to say more, you’re awesome!”
But in his heart, he was thinking, if many people can get their hands on the serum, then can he also get it?
No wonder Zhushi Jiu was so powerful and didn’t seem to have lost his emotions after injecting the serum. It turned out that he had injected this kind of serum.
What Wang Chong didn’t know was that Zhushi Jiu was completely lying.
The statement “many people can still get their hands on it” would not even get a glance from Xu Feng, let alone a response.
Zhushi Jiu didn’t know whether all lower-grade serums were this powerful, but it didn’t stop him from bragging. He also subtly set up a hook, and now Wang Chong seemed to have taken the bait, which was all part of Zhushi Jiu’s plan.
While reeling in Wang Chong with his lies, Zhushi Jiu was also keeping an eye on the two Black Soldiers’ movements.
They didn’t stop him at all.
Was it because Wang Chong, an outsider, was too insignificant, or did Xu Feng specifically instruct them to give him a certain degree of tolerance?
Zhushi Jiu couldn’t be sure, but since he got on the boat, he had been trying to touch the bottom line, such as feeding Wang Chong false ideas and information, openly displaying his strength in front of the bodyguards, and discussing Black Soldiers with Wang Chong… None of these actions were stopped.
He didn’t believe Xu Feng hadn’t prepared for such a situation.
That man’s meticulousness was always extremely abnormal, and since he chose to let the two Black Soldiers escort him, he must have given them detailed instructions.
Now it seemed that Xu Feng was intentionally letting him act freely.
Why was that?
Zhushi Jiu didn’t show any thoughts on his face, only thinking for a brief moment.
After injecting the serum, Zhushi Jiu’s thinking speed had also increased several levels, and things that would take ordinary people a long time to understand, he could figure out in a few seconds.
On the surface, he continued to chat with Wang Chong: “Right, Big Brother Wang…”
Wang Chong quickly stopped him: “No need to call me Big Brother Wang, just call me Little Wang.”
Zhushi Jiu: “……”
“Or you can directly call me Ah Chong! From now on, you’re my brother!”
“Okay, Ah Chong,” Zhushi Jiu replied, “Do you have a plan for tonight’s task?”
Wang Chong’s face didn’t show any unhappiness, but he seemed slightly hesitant when answering Zhushi Jiu’s question: “Uh… according to the plan, this is not something that should be said, my personal task should be kept strictly confidential…”
As he said this, he glanced at the two Black Soldiers beside him.
Zhushi Jiu laughed: “What’s there to keep confidential? Isn’t it just sending out invitations for a banquet? I know!”
Wang Chong’s face turned stupid.
“Ah? How did you know, Big Brother Zhushi?!”
“You’re asking me how I knew?” Zhushi Jiu didn’t answer, instead asking Wang Chong back.
“It’s not right, didn’t you say that this escort mission is fully under your control, and you can choose whatever method you want, as long as you can get me to the Illesheim Island?”
Zhushi Jiu’s eyes widened slightly – not in surprise, but because his internal speculation was completely overturned, and he felt caught off guard.
“Isn’t it Xu Feng’s instruction, but rather your own decision?”
Wang Chong was taken aback: “Who is Xu Feng?”
It turned out that Wang Chong didn’t even know who his direct supervisor was.
Zhushi Jiu became even more suspicious.
Why didn’t Xu Feng give Wang Chong detailed instructions for such an important task, instead letting him make his own plan? Was it because time was too tight, and there was no time to make a detailed plan?
No way.
Zhushi Jiu denied his own speculation.
The departure time was set by Xu Feng himself, which means that even if time was tight, Xu Feng had the right to choose the departure time and still had time to make a plan.
It wouldn’t be possible for Xu Feng’s efficiency to be so low.
In other words, the current situation was all orchestrated by Xu Feng himself.
Including letting Wang Chong, an outsider, decide the plan, and allowing Zhushi Jiu to do as he pleased, were all part of Xu Feng’s plan.
“Big Brother Zhushi?”
Wang Chong’s voice brought Zhushi Jiu back to the present.
“Xu Feng is… sorry, you can’t know more about it for now. You just need to know that Xu Feng is our superior.”
Wang Chong seemed to understand.
As an outsider, he didn’t have the opportunity to access much information, and even about the Black Soldiers, he knew very little, let alone who Xu Feng was.
Wang Chong set aside his doubts and continued, “Big Brother Zhushi, you still haven’t told me how you knew my plan.”
“It’s not that simple?” Zhushi Jiu looked at Wang Chong as if he were stupid. “If you decided to secretly escort me to the Illesheim Island training base, then you wouldn’t choose this luxury cruise, so it’s easy to deduce that you would choose a more high-profile approach.”
“What about my plan to send out invitations for a banquet?”
“Otherwise, what would you use to cover it up? In my impression, you usually have a high-profile image on social media. Sending out invitations for a banquet fits your thinking, and it won’t raise any suspicions.”
Zhushi Jiu didn’t give Wang Chong time to think, continuing to speak rapidly.
“Not only that, I also guessed that you would invite celebrities from all walks of life to attend the banquet, because it would draw social attention and use their backgrounds to provide maximum security for us. Even if someone wants to disrupt the plan, they wouldn’t dare to do so under social scrutiny.”
Wang Chong’s mouth was agape, listening to Zhushi Jiu’s deductions like a god.
“Also, with your charisma, you would only prepare to stop over for three days, which is enough time to fill the cruise.”
“Damn, you’re a god, Big Brother Zhushi!”
Wang Chong was truly impressed, his gaze filled with admiration and respect towards Zhushi Jiu.
“It’s okay,” Zhushi Jiu replied, waving his hand nonchalantly.
As long as it doesn’t sound too ridiculous, it’s fine.
Even Sherlock Holmes would be inferior to him.
