After using the wireless communication equipment at Hu Dewen's estate to contact the Huaxia military, it wasn't long before the buzzing sound of a helicopter's propellers was heard from the sky.

A large armed helicopter slowly descended from the horizon.

Immediately, several soldiers dressed in special operations uniforms jumped down from the helicopter.

Seeing only a man and a woman in the estate, the members of the team were dumbfounded.

What's going on here?

After receiving the message, they thought that the Vietnamese military had taken action and had been the first to eliminate this force, but the result...

"Are all the people here dead?"

A special forces soldier with camouflage on his face asked blankly.

"What do you think?"

Xu Fan shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.

"This..."

Zhang Shicun caught a glimpse of the blood on Xu Fan's hands that had yet to be cleaned and couldn't help but be startled.

He thought of a frightening fact: the enemies here were probably all killed by him!

This young man...

"Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Shicun at your service!" Without delay, Zhang Shicun stood straight and saluted Xu Fan very seriously!

Although he hadn't witnessed Xu Fan's ruthless methods earlier, Zhang Shicun was very clear that the young man before him was extraordinary!

Pfft.

However, Xu Fan just smiled, waved his hand, and said, "No, I'm not any kind of officer. I'm just an ordinary civilian."

"Uh..."

Hearing Xu Fan's explanation, Zhang Shicun couldn't help but swallow.

Good lord, an ordinary civilian who slaughtered a manor full of mercenaries...

"Hello, I am Qin Mengyue, the person in charge of this undercover operation."

At that moment, Qin Mengyue walked over and began negotiating with the special forces soldier.

Then, the cause and aftermath of Hu Dewen's power collapse were recounted once again through Qin Mengyue's explanation.

Zhang Shicun and his team were increasingly astonished by the faint smile at the corner of Xu Fan's mouth.

Indeed, it was unexpected that this young man could be so decisive and ruthless.

"Xu Fan, let's leave this place first."

Now that Hu Dewen had been killed by Xu Fan, this case could be considered perfectly accomplished.

As for Hu Dewu, they would leave him for Zhang Shicun and his team to deal with.

"Yueyue, you go back first. I still have some things to deal with here," Xu Fan said, looking at Qin Mengyue and rejecting her suggestion.

It wasn't just about Hu Dewu.

He had hurried over here with Qin Mengyue and had entered Hu Dewen's base; until now, he had yet to start collecting the materials for refining Gu insects or the ritual of sacrificial cultivation of the original Gu.

Going back to Shanghai at this time wasn't quite appropriate.

"This..."

Qin Mengyue hesitated upon hearing Xu Fan's plan.

She estimated Xu Fan probably wanted to eliminate Hu Dewu once and for all to prevent any future troubles.

She wanted to do the same, but realistically, it simply wasn't possible.

Just now, she had already consulted with Zhang Shicun and his team. Hu Dewu's forces were even stronger than Hu Dewen's.

Moreover, he had intricate connections with the local warlord Dragon General.

Removing Hu Dewu wasn't going to be an easy task.

Even with the butterfly effect, it might bring about even bigger troubles.

"Xu Fan, I understand how you feel, but just that Hu Dewen has just been handled, and the timing isn't good. Moreover, we simply don't have enough manpower..."

Now that Hu Dewen's forces had been exterminated, the news would likely spread quickly.

At this time, making a move against Hu Dewu clearly wasn't a wise decision.

Firstly, Huaxia would not possibly send too many people into Vietnam, and secondly, should Hu Dewu be targeted, General Dragon would not likely sit idly by.

When the time comes, it's possible that a group of people could end up dead within the borders of Vietnam.

The earnest admonitions of Qin Mengyue did not cause Xu Fan to take a step back.

He remained laughingly confident as ever.

"This matter can't be delayed any longer, and the opportunity is just in this moment. We must seize Hu Dewu before the news spreads out."

Whether it was to cut off future troubles or for the sake of the middle-aged man who gave the task of retrieving the white Jade Bi, he had to capture Hu Dewu.

As for the issue of manpower mentioned by Qin Mengyue, Xu Fan had not given it any consideration.

To deal with Hu Dewu and his crowd, he alone was sufficient.

"Brother, are you sure you want to do this?"

At this time, Zhang Shicun walked up.

His impression of Hu Dewu was not good; this guy, along with his brother Hu Dewen, were not good fellows.

If they could be completely removed this time, it would be a joyous occasion for Huaxia.

"If you're going to act, I'll join you in the madness!"

If they went back to report to the superiors, this highly dangerous operation would definitely not be approved.

But for some reason, Zhang Shicun had immense confidence in this young man in front of him.

Not to mention anything else, just the strength of slaughtering all the mercenaries in the estate on his own was enough to earn his trust.

With his small squad, plus Xu Fan's leadership, they might just be able to wipe out Hu Dewu in one fell swoop.

"You guys..."

Seeing Zhang Shicun and Xu Fan go crazy together, Qin Mengyue almost cried in frustration!

Were these guys no longer caring about their lives?

After all, they were Huaxia soldiers, with fervent blood running through their veins. Xu Fan chuckled as he glanced over Zhang Shicun and his team.

Taking them along for a bit of trouble was not a bad idea.

Killing a criminal like Hu Dewu would count as a great feat for them.

It was not necessary for himself, but it would be good for them.

"Yueyue, what do you think?"

He then looked over at Qin Mengyue.

"..."

Qin Mengyue shook her head with a smile and a hint of helplessness; things had come this far, what more could she say.

"Since you want to go mad, I'll join you in the madness."

She could not stand by and watch Xu Fan face danger alone.

This time, he had come to her side in Vietnam, and with the trouble still unresolved, there was no way she could abandon him and leave first.

"Ah, this is the legendary case of 'where the husband leads, the wife follows.'

"You!"

Just then, Xu Fan suddenly came out with this line, catching Qin Mengyue off guard.

Seeing Zhang Shicun and his team sneakily glancing over, her face flushed in an instant.

She buried her head and pinched Xu Fan at the soft part of his waist.

"Cough, cough, she's a bit shy, don't mind her," Xu Fan remarked without much feeling; he casually joined in the laughter with the rest of the group.

Zhang Shicun and his team were all soldiers from Huaxia; their interactions were straightforward and uncomplicated.

Soon enough, they had bonded well.

Since Hu Dewen's estate had been taken down without firing a single shot or cannon, there was no worry that news of this would immediately get out.

Xu Fan estimated that he should have about three days of operational time left.

As long as Hu Dewu was captured within this time, the issue would be resolved.

After discussing the plan inside the estate, Zhang Shicun coughed and looked at Xu Fan with a troubled expression.

"Brother Xu Fan, we have a big problem now..."
