Chapter 259 - Xiu Mei Vs Feng Jin

Xiu Mei nodded, "That's right. And those who don't have anyone working with the company, either their family member is abducted or killed to keep them away from spreading the news" Xiu Mei told them everything that Ghost told her and how careful they have to be in this situation.

Qingzhou exhaled, "We were not unaware of this situation as people are unwilling to talk to anyone. If this is the real reason, it's good we had not taken any action against them. Otherwise…." He trailed his words shaking his head.

A dead silence lingered in the air hearing Qingzhou's words. Undoubtedly they would have bombarded the Secret base to get rid of this problem. Never had they have thought that almost five thousand lives are at stake. Such a big blunder…

"But how did you know that there are these many people trapped?" Feng Jin asked.

"Through Commander Zeus' laptop" Xiu Mei answered "While checking his laptop to communicate Jianyu, I stumbled upon a file containing details of all the workers in that base. There are a total of 9895 workers to be precise"

"What else you get from that laptop?" Qingzhou asked inquisitively.

"There were lots of things in his laptop. But…." Xiu Mei shook her head as she hit her fist on the bed in disappointment "Although I ran away with his laptop safely while fighting against enemies I forgot about it completely. It must be destroyed in the fire by now"

Lu Xion's brows furrowed hearing about the laptop. He gestured Wu Zixin, who nodded his head in understanding and left the room.

A few minutes later Wu Zixin returned holding a broken laptop and gave it to his boss. "Are you talking about this laptop, my little tomato" He Raised the laptop and deliberately emphasized on the last three words and looked teasingly at certain someone. "We found it in the jungle"

"Ah Yes! Give it to me" Xiu Mei jumped in excitement on seeing the same laptop. Before giving it to her Lu Xion grabbed the fresh towel from the stand and put the laptop over it. "Be careful! Its burned, the screen is shattered and has some sharp edges"

With Lu Xion's endearment and care for her, the atmosphere suddenly took a weird turn. Everyone close to Feng Jianyu stealthily looked at him waiting for his reaction. The man's chilling eyes scanned the perpetrator but the next second he gave an unfazed smirk and kissed the girl's temple soundingly, keeping his eyes on Lu Xion as if asking him, 'CAN- YOU- DO- THIS –TO- HER? NO! ONLY- A- HUSBAND- IS- ALLOWED- TO- DO- THIS'

Everyone present "…."

Lu Xion rolled his eyes and stepped back.

"This laptop is badly damaged but I think some of the data can be retrieved" Xiu Mei turned the laptop upside down; she was not bothered about the screen or anything else but harddisk. "Jianyu, I need my laptop, tool kit, and all the equipments. It's in the penthouse. Can you?"

"Hm! I'll send Rong Xiang to get it for you" He instantly picked the satellite device and ordered his assistant to get the things she required.

With furrowed brows, Feng Jin alternated his gaze between the broken laptop and Xiu Mei, "Laptop is damaged till harddisk. Are you sure you can retrieve the data? And what is the guarantee that the data will be useful? Why not tell us the location details? We can ambush to rescue the people and then bombard the base. Anyway, lives of ten thousand people are not important in front of whole North City. Above that, we cannot ignore the fact that to achieve bigger goals some casualties are bound to happen"

"Major General, one of the foremost rules to lead a mission is to think of a way with ZERO number of casualties. If you cannot do that, I advise you to back off" She looked up to stare at him and said seriously, "Secondly, This is my mission. I'm the Boss and I won't tolerate even a single casualty. If you are willing to work with me then it would be at my rules"

"Do you have any idea how much resources will get waste if we work up at your rules?" Feng Jin's face darkened and hissed, "Or perhaps you are thinking we are available at your beck and call for free"….. Why would she bother anyway, it's my brother who is bearing the expenses of all this facility. She will definitely take us down with her unmindful plan' He muttered the last line to himself but everyone heard him clearly.

Lu Xion wanted to speak up on Xiu Mei's support but she gestured with her eyes and asked him to stay low.

Qingzhou too frowned at this. Its true Feng Jianyu is bearing all the expenses, but in return, they have agreed for an exclusive contract for the manufacturing unit Feng Corporation and R-tech wants to set up in this country. Country B would provide with land, resources, and labor on the lease of 100 years in exchange of getting rid of this illegal base and Kong's.

"Rest assured Magor General, I will bear all the expenses of the resources that are being used in North City. Your brother may be filthy rich but I don't need a man's support to pay for my expenses. I can do that with my own capabilities" She held Feng Jin's eyes for few seconds and spoke powerfully, unfazed by the rank of the officer standing in front, "And how can you say I'll take down everyone with my unmindful plan when it will be a teamwork. Being an outstanding officer I'm sure you won't part yourself from the planning. I really need your help in this"

Feng Jin perked his brows, "But you said you are the boss and everything will be at your rules"

"Correction needed" She waved her finger in the air, "I said I'm the boss because without me you will never get to know about the location of the base. And as far as rules are concerned, I already stated my only rule for this mission i.e. NO CASUALTY"
