"Is this it?"

Li De pointed at the unfinished building with a Japanese sign at the gate and asked.

"Yes, it's here, on the eighth floor."

Ling Lu got out of the car and led the way for Li De.

"I'll tell you in advance that in that safe house, there's not only Miles, but also two friends she recruited."

After listening to this, Li De folded his arms and looked at Ling Luxian.

"Haven't you heard the saying that too many eyes mean too little?"

Ling Luxian shrugged his shoulders and said, "They were recruited by Miles. If you want to cause trouble, you can go to Miles.

Besides, I have already checked those two people, and they are reliable. If someone from the Nether Dog comes looking for me, I can still lend a hand, right?"

"Um……"

Li De didn't comment, but just said, "If someone wants to take her away from here by force, at least one floor will collapse. Miles is not a man who will surrender without a fight."

If someone doesn’t know Li De, they really wouldn’t understand what Li De meant by this.

Ling Luxian heard something, probably that he respected Miles' choice.

But judging from his actions, he was not optimistic about Jacob and the other man.

It's normal. Being suspicious is a professional habit of agents.

Then he saw Li De standing in the blind corner of the safe house, pointing a pistol at the door.

After making preparations, Li De winked at Ling Luxian and said, "You take the lead, open the door quickly."

This attitude of speaking left Ling Luxian no doubt that if Ling Luxian showed any unusual behavior, Li De would treat him to copper-shell peanuts.

"is this necessary?"

Ling Luxian knocked on the door helplessly, but did not make any tactical moves like Li De did.

He said casually to the inside: "Open the door, I'm back."

"Okay, okay, I'll be right over."

The one who spoke was Jacob, a lively guy. I just hope he can still laugh later.

After Jacob opened the door, Reed pointed a gun at him.

"Don't move a step."

"Fuck, here they come again?"

Jacob raised his hand and only hooked the strap of the shotgun with his little finger to make it easier for Reed to disarm him.

Looking at Taylor again, even he raised his hands without reservation.

Perhaps they felt that they were in the same boat with Miles, so they did not harbor any ill will towards Reed who pointed a gun at them.

Jacob, the chatterbox, just made a simple complaint.

Reed disarmed Jacob, pointed the gun at him with his right hand, and de-bulleted Jacob's shotgun with his left hand. The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing.

"What about her?"

Reed didn't waste any time and asked directly about Miles's whereabouts.

"Okay, gentlemen, put your weapons away. You can continue comparing size after I leave."

Ling Luxian seriously suspected that Miles deliberately hid in the room inside, allowing Li De to give these two "blind" people a warning.

By the way, it can also alleviate the embarrassment of meeting Li De again.

After Miles spoke, Reed immediately put down the gun pointing at Jacob and threw Jacob's gun to the ground.

"You decide."

Jacob spread his hands and put them down smoothly.

Li De doubted, "Are you sure?"

"Look around, I'm sure of that."

Only then did Li De put the gun into the inside pocket of his coat.

"Do you still remember my number?" Reed looked at Miles.

Miles looked directly into Reed's eyes and said, "There are some numbers I will never forget."

Reed approached Miles with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Rosalind, if you tell me the truth, the phone will never ring, right?"

“No.” Miles lowered his head and was silent for a second or two, as if he was organizing his words.

"Someone in Night City wants my head... so I'm looking for an opportunity to catch up with you and rekindle our relationship."

Ling Luxian felt suffocated by Miles's speech. Is this the attitude of begging?

Has the president been in office for too long and become stupid? Does she really think that everyone has to act according to her will?

Jacob came close to Ling Luxian and whispered, "What's going on here? A sad drama at eight o'clock?"

"Just eat your melon well. Don't worry about things that you shouldn't worry about." Ling Luxian reminded.

Ling Luxian just wants to watch and see how Li De responds.

But I really didn't expect that Li De would actually fall for it.

"I was going to invite you for coffee, but now I don't have time. I'll make arrangements to take you back to Washington."

Miles refused. "No, Li De, we need to talk first, just the three of us. Let's talk in this room, don't let outsiders hear us."

After saying that, Miles walked into the house first.

Jacob pointed at his nose and asked, "Is this 'outsider' referring to me?"

Ling Lu rolled his eyes at him and said, "What do you think? Don't eavesdrop."

"Cut~"

Jacob gave him the middle finger. Although he had a lively personality, he would not do anything if he knew he would die.

Follow him into Miles' simple "presidential office".

After everyone arrived, Miles asked Li De, "Have you read the news? What do you think?"

"Yeah." Li De nodded, "Hansen really has a lot of tricks."

Miles sat on the table and said, "He can't do this alone. We have someone backing him up."

Ling Luxian interrupted, "These people want to fight again. Could it be that after seeing Arasaka Saburo's death, they think their chance has come again?"

Li De touched the back of his head and said, "Their war will never end."

"This is a big trouble, Reed." Miles looked at Reed and said, "I wasn't the only one on the plane. Lark was also there."

"Xiao Song?"

Li De said in surprise.

Then he sighed, "I said her eyelids were twitching badly, and it really came true. How is she now?"

Miles said: "The last person to contact Lark was the Pilot."

Miles and Reed both looked at Ling Luxian.

Ling Luxian explained: "Maybe when I was cracking the Chimera, I was attacked by ICE. But there is one thing that I am very surprised about. I found the black wall fluctuation at that time."

Both Li De and Miles knew what happened to Song Zhaomei, but they couldn't tell Ling Luxian.

Li De walked to the French window in distress, with his hands behind his back.

"You know, I don't need to tell you what this means for national security.

Moreover, she is your apprentice. You taught her the skills, and you led her into the door."

Miles's meaning was very clear, that is, Li De must find Song Zhaomei back, regardless of life and death public opinion.

And they put all the blame on Li De, telling him to deal with it himself.

Li De felt mixed emotions. After all, Song Zhaomei was his friend and subordinate. He always treated Song Zhaomei as his daughter.

Even though Song Zhaomei betrayed him at the critical moment, Li De was still hesitating whether to save Song Zhaomei.
