Chapter 952 - Misunderstandings!
Ji Feng asked in a low voice, "Is there a problem?"
Old Zhou said, "It's not that it's difficult, rather, it's rather difficult."
"What do you mean?" Ji Feng asked, "Isn't it easy to transport that batch of weapons here? But now, the weapons have been replaced by people … "
"It's precisely because the weapons were exchanged for people that it's so troublesome." Old Zhou said in a low voice, "A pile of metal lumps, one can hide it anywhere, and bring it here. However, if a person is unwilling to leave, it's easy for problems to occur.
Ji Feng calmly asked, "How do you know that the person I'm sending off is unwilling to leave?"
Old Zhou said, "If you're willing to go, the traffic is now so well-developed that you can go anywhere. There are too many choices to take a plane or a ship!"
Ji Feng understood that he had fallen into a misunderstanding. Now was not the time for them to be estranged from each other, and the traffic between them was still very smooth. If they wanted to go to the mainland, it would not be difficult.
However, since it was someone he needed to send off, it was clear that he wasn't willing to leave.
Ji Feng couldn't help but look at Old Zhou a couple more times. He had no choice but to admit that Old Zhou was an extremely astute person, with a sharp eye.
"But these two must leave, or die!" Ji Feng whispered, "Think of a way, is there a safe way?"
"Nope."
Old Zhou said affirmatively.
Ji Feng asked, "Then... "What if you sneak in?"
Old Zhou shook his head, "You don't understand what I mean. The point of this matter is whether or not the person you want to send is willing!"
If you are willing, you don't need to sneak in.
Ji Feng slowly shook his head and said, "I came to find you because I didn't want to!"
Old Zhou pondered for a moment before saying, "No, I can't take this risk!" Furthermore, he couldn't let anyone else take the risk. Think of another way! "
Ji Feng could not help but frown, he had not expected Old Zhou to reject him in such a straightforward manner.
However, thinking about it, Ji Feng could understand. After all, there was a certain level of risk in this matter, and it was not strange that Old Zhou was unwilling to take the risk.
If it was really like Old Zhou had said, if an accident happened, it might even implicate the entire boat, then the risk was not small. Honestly speaking, in Ji Feng's opinion, swapping a boat for a ship's captain using a line of people was not worth it!
Therefore, Ji Feng only nodded his head and didn't bring up this matter again.
Since Old Zhou did not agree, he would not make things difficult for them. Since this path was impossible to tread, Ji Feng decided to hold back on this idea for the time being. It seemed like he could only place the boat captain and his wife at their lodging.
This time around, the two of them did not spend much time together before Ji Feng prepared to leave.
However, before he left, Old Zhou suddenly said, "There's a piece of news that you should pay attention to. The Cheetah Mercenaries seem to have been searching for something recently. Other than that, someone else is asking about you. You must be careful."
"The Cheetah Mercenaries?"
Hearing this, Ji Feng was slightly startled, but he quickly reacted. Old Zhou was talking about the mercenary group that had been defeated in one fell swoop with the special forces. The jewelry robbery at the Jiang Prefecture International Exhibition Center had been done by them.
However, before they could finish their mission in the battle for eternity, the leader of the cheetah Mercenaries ran off with a small group of people. Afterwards, they went to Taiwan, where they were reportedly taken in by high-ranking officials who viewed China as their enemy.
"Are they asking about me?" Ji Feng asked.
"Someone is asking around. It seems to have something to do with them!" Old Zhou explained that the people from the Cheetah Mercenaries were not familiar with each other in Taiwan, and naturally had no way of finding out about this either, but someone was doing it for them.
However, this wasn't the main point. What Ji Feng was concerned about was, what did they intend to do with his information?
Ji Feng asked, "In that case, do they want to make a move against me?"
Old Zhou lowered his voice and said, "After the people from the cheetah mercenary group came to Taiwan, they had once spread word that they were going to take revenge on the mainland. There seemed to be news that your status in the mainland was not ordinary, coupled with the fact that so many members of the Wolf Gang were killed a few days ago, you've attracted their attention."
Ji Feng smiled noncommittally and asked, "They aren't the only ones paying attention to me right? I'm afraid some people in Taiwan have noticed me, haven't they? "
The cheetah mercenary group had already been beaten to a pulp. It could even be said that they had been crippled. There were only a few people left, and they couldn't do anything about it.
When they arrived in Taiwan, they had already become the blade of someone. Thus, the ones who noticed them were the people who were jumping up and down in Taiwan, followed by the Cheetah Mercenaries.
"Be careful." Old Zhou said, "The support I can provide you is very limited."
"Thank you very much."
Ji Feng nodded with a smile.
Old Zhou didn't say anything more. A moment later, Ji Feng stood up and led the way. From start to finish, he had not interacted much with Old Zhou. Even though he had wanted to chat with Old Zhou, he knew that Old Zhou would definitely not say much. In their line of work, they would definitely not talk much.
Initially, Ji Feng had wanted to ask Old Zhou about the mining of ores, but upon thinking about it, he decided against it. With regards to the Alpha Ore, the fewer people knew about it, the better.
Back at the base, Ji Feng continued to think about how he could not only not attract attention, but also mine ores. After thinking about it for a while, he still felt that Zhang Lei's suggestion was the most appropriate — in the name of a private company or a company, this way he could avoid official influences to the greatest extent, and also minimize their impact.
Actually, at this point, Ji Feng had already completed more than half of his mission. He was responsible for finding the Alpha Ore, as for how to get it back, how to mine it, and how to use the country's power. But from the looks of it, he still could not return.
Moreover, Ji Feng had one more thing to do in Taiwan, since the cheetah mercenary group had promised to take revenge on China, if he did not give them the chance, wouldn't that disappoint them?!
"Rumble …"
While Ji Feng was deep in thought, his phone suddenly vibrated. It was his uncle, Ji Zhenping. Moreover, he saw that the line was encrypted using a satellite channel.
He immediately picked up the phone, "Uncle."
Ji Zhenping's voice came over the phone, "Little Feng, prepare yourself. The mining process will begin."
Hearing this, Ji Feng asked, "Uncle, has the matter been settled?"
This made him curious. With that island's location, how could it be so easy to mine it? Did the Philippines and Taiwan react at all?
Ji Zhenping replied, "You just have to wait and see. You can't come back for the time being. After the matter is settled, you need to go there and give some guidance. I will inform you when the time is right."
Ji Zhenping did not say much about how or who to mine. Ji Feng was curious, but he knew the rules so he did not ask.
At the same time, both the Philippines and Taiwan were alarmed.
Just today, two companies submitted applications to the Philippine and Taiwan Foreign Affairs Departments for the exploitation of an island on the Philippine and Taiwan maritime boundaries. Originally, this was a normal business activity, but because the location of the island was too sensitive, it attracted the attention of the higher echelons of Taiwan and the Philippines.
Neither the Philippines nor Taiwan responded immediately, apparently considering and investigating. The ident.i.ty of the two companies, a mining company from the United States and a mining company from England, both powerful multinational groups, was also noted.
Interestingly, both companies have since submitted applications to Taiwan and the Philippines, respectively, and have indicated the development of a radioactive ore on the island.
Subsequently, word spread that the radioactive ore could be used in medical treatment. The substance and faint radioactivity within it might have a therapeutic effect on the cancer.
When Ji Feng heard the news, he immediately stood up. Wasn't this a joke!
Zhang Lei couldn't help but ask, "Lunatic, what's wrong?"
Ji Feng frowned. "If that's the case, won't we be directly telling others the location of the island?"
Since he had submitted the application, the location of the island was no longer a secret.
Zhang Lei nodded and said, "That's right. And the reason for using it was quite outrageous. Radioactive ores could cure cancer? Those are used to kill people, okay?! "
When Ji Feng heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. But soon after, a look of contemplation appeared in his eyes.
Cancer treatment?
Gradually, his tightly knitted eyebrows loosened up. It looked like he had walked into the wrong place!
"So that's how it is!" Ji Feng couldn't help but ask.
"What's going on?" Zhang Lei couldn't help but ask as he was still in a daze.
Ji Feng laughed, "This must be the work of the military... This is simply bullying! "
Zhang Lei was still perplexed as he hurriedly asked what was going on.
Ji Feng replied, "Actually, I also got into the bullhorn at the beginning. Now, it seems that even if the location of this island were to be leaked out, it wouldn't be a big deal. Moreover, it would be fine to apply for the mining rights in broad daylight. This is because no one knows the usage of Alpha Ore! "
Other than the few military officers who had been freed, no one else knew the purpose of the Alpha Ore. Perhaps no one even knew what it was.
Because the radioactivity of the alpha ore was very weak, compared to other radioactive substances, it would not be excessive to say that it was inert. Even if one were to study it in a laboratory, it would be impossible to find anything out of it, unless one could master the techniques to stimulate the energy of the alpha ore.
However, this technology was not something that could be achieved with the current level of technology!
