Chapter 89
"But I should protect you as the Dragon King ordered me to. If anything happened to you, I can't possibly take the responsibility." Fan Gang said.
"With hundreds of battlefields I've been engaged in and thousands of enemies I've fought with, I know what I'm talking about. What are you worrying about?" Xiao Potian reassured him.
"I am worried about you getting tricked by them and ending up injured. What it takes to tackle down Feng's family and the Tiger Gang is an order from you to dispatch an army that guarantees the annihilation of them. Not you in person. There's no need." Fan Gang went on.
"This is not a war and that's why the army is not the way to go. Besides, it's a piece of cake to put a lid on Feng's family and the Tiger Gang but we still don't get to know anything behind them." Xiao Potian disagreed.
"Good point." Fan Gang admitted.
"I'm glad you are coming round. So you see we have to play this game with them. With the huge net we cast now, we can get them all once they emerge onto the surface." Xiao Potian planned.
"But it would be an unthinkable loss for the Dragon Land if anything happened to you." Fan Gang worried.
"Nothing would happen to me. There is an elite army right outside the city waiting for an order, remember? I'll have them get moving once I sense danger." Xiao Potian said patiently.
"That's one of my concerns. Distant waters are powerless against near fire. They are outside the city anyway and it takes time for them to reach you. For my part, you should get the near protection by the commandos." As the protector of Xiao Potian, Fan Gang had to be extra careful regarding Xiao Potian's safety.
"With the commandos following me in the broad daylight, people could easily figure out that I am someone important if they look into it. So commandos are not an option. As you know, my movement is all about surprise off guard and triumph amid perils Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Xiao Potian refused again.
"But..." Fan Gang didn't want to give up still.
Xiao Potian cut in on him with a wave of his hand and ordered, "The decision has been made and won't be changed. You can save it now. Do as you're told."
"Roger." Fan Gang had to go with Xiao Potian's plan.
"Well, to keep the big plan going, the knowledge of my identity can't be exposed for now lest they got scared and cringe. If I were right on the money, the Hu Fa Committee would be the first to investigate my files." Xiao Potian ventured a guess.
"Then what do we do?" Fan Gang asked.
"It's easy. Tell the authorities to characterize my files as strictly confidential which show nothing more except the fact that I am a commando." Xiao Potian replied.
"I got it. On it." Fan Gang said.
At the moment, Huang Zhengyan, the president of Hu Fa Committee, received a call from Feng's family, asking him to look into the identity of Xiao Potian.
Huang Zhengyan dared not snub and chose to investigate Xiao Potian's files in person.
Then he found that Xiao Potian is but a commando who enlisted in the army eight years ago and remains one today.
Instantly Huang Yanzheng passed his findings to Feng's family.
It was quite a relief to Feng's family that Xiao Potian was just a commando without any positions, and they promptly got on to the plans to deal with Xiao Potian.
In the evening, preoccupied with the thought of avenging himself on Lu Xiong, Xiao Potian asked Fan Gang to drive him over directly to the Fairy Land outside the Nanguang City.
Tonight, Wang Han is strolling on the street by herself when suddenly slid open the door of a minivan sitting alongside the road.
And before she knew it, she was pulled into the minivan by two men running out of it.
In an instant, Wang Han was shell-shocked and felt the urge to scream for help. However, before she could do anything, her mouth got covered with tape and her arms and legs tied with ropes. To make things worse, everything went black the moment her head got trapped in a black hood.
