Chapter 10: Descending the Slope on a Donkey

Captain Gu! ? '' A look of surprise froze on Ling Tianxiang's face for a few seconds, and then he broke into a silly grin

Breathing weakly, but still alive, needs to be sent back quickly. The team member turned his head and said, The wound infection is very serious; if we cannot get him to the hospital in time, I fear...

Huang Longfei glared at the bodyguard who was a bit overly anxious. "We are here to visit Mr. Ajari. Do we need your reckless behavior? Without my orders, no one is allowed to act out of line. Everyone, wait outside for me."

The bodyguard nodded to indicate his understanding, simultaneously taking a step back, yet remaining two meters behind Huang Longfei. His duty was to stay within this two-meter range of Huang Longfei and to be ready to counter any threats that might endanger him

As he watched the sun rise in the east, Ling Tianxiang wished for the sun not to rise, at least not to rise so early.

Gao Weimin knew that Ling Tianxiang was fine, and he glanced over at the team member who was conducting an examination on Wei Daming.

"We are almost there, just a few kilometers left, and we will reach our outpost." Ling Tianxiang told a lie, but they had to persevere, they had to cover more ground before the U.S. military resumed their search, and they had to conceal themselves again, thus putting more distance between themselves and the danger.

I can no longer go on!

"Retreat to the hiding spot immediately!" Gu Weimin kicked Ling Tianxiang, who was still foolishly smiling, and asked, "Can you walk on your own?"

"Mr. Huang, it has been confirmed that the person is inside and there is no danger in the vicinity. Should we go in first?"

Ajari pondered for a moment, ran his hand over his bald head a couple of times, and then turned to Huang Longfei. "So, what benefits can we obtain?"

Mr. Huang hopes that Mr. Ajari can intervene to resolve this matter, allowing a certain individual or organization to come forward and acknowledge the events that occurred in Zebak

Islamabad, Faisal Avenue, several SUVs simultaneously stopped around a two-story house. A group of young men dressed in black suits and wearing sunglasses rushed out of the SUVs, swiftly securing the front and back doors of the house, as well as the surrounding windows. A Mercedes sedan stopped outside the house's main entrance, and the bodyguard sitting in the front passenger seat was the first to exit. As he moved around to the other side of the sedan to open the door, the bodyguard also shielded the most dangerous direction.

This old fox! Huang Longfei chuckled to himself and said in a very calm manner, "So, what about the events that took place in Zebake?"

When Huang Longfei got out of the car, he glanced at the Magala Mountain Forest Protection Area to the north of the main road. Three years ago, he donated 15 million USD to Pakistan's Nature Conservation Fund, part of which was used to restore the vegetation in the forest protection area, although more of it ended up lining the pockets of officials. For Huang Longfei, exchanging 15 million for several government infrastructure projects worth over 5 billion USD was not a losing deal. As Huang Longfei turned around, the curtain of a window on the second floor facing the street fluttered slightly, which did not escape the notice of the nearby bodyguards.

Tianxiang, you need not concern yourself with me any longer

Under the leadership of Gu Weimin, more than ten special forces soldiers swiftly made their way to a concealed location, which was essentially a relatively large cave. The entrance of the cave was very narrow, allowing only one person to pass through, and it was unfathomably deep inside; perhaps no one had ever reached the innermost part of the cave. Such caves are found everywhere in the Hindu Kush mountains, and most anti-American armed groups are hidden in these caves, forcing the U.S. military to deploy heavy bombers to use large bombs against the insurgents inside the caves

"The mission is not over yet, Wei Daming, our mission is not over!" Ling Tianxiang shouted desperately, "How did you tell me back then? The 'Snow Leopard' will never fall before the mission is completed. Get up, our mission is not over, Wei Daming, get up!"

Please take a seat. I wonder what brings Mr. Huang here from such a long distance

"Tianxiang, stop deceiving me." Although Wei Daming's body was very weak, his mind was not so muddled that he could not distinguish between time and distance. "We are still far from the national border; we have only been walking for a day, and we won't make it at all."

Ajari had to seriously consider this promise from Huang Longfei, and he was well aware of Huang Longfei's background. Two minutes later, Ajari slightly nodded, and a weight was lifted from Huang Longfei's heart.

Wei Daming had already closed his eyes, and Ling Tianxiang wiped away his tears. Suddenly, he was startled and embraced Wei Daming's body. "Old Wei, don't leave me behind. I promised that even if you were to go, I would carry you back. I will not leave you here. Stop pretending; I will not abandon you, absolutely not..."

Ajari made a gesture asking to speak

This person spoke standard Mandarin, and Huang Longfei was secretly taken aback while smiling and said: "Mr. Ajari, it is a pleasure to meet you!"

Mr. Huang, is this necessary? Taking advantage of Huang Longfei's moment of inattention, the bodyguard behind him couldn't help but feel uneasy. Over the years, he had never seen Huang Longfei so subserviently beg someone else.

The north? There are many events happening over there every day, and the newspapers report extensively on related matters daily. I heard that the American military's bombers just bombed a group of ibex, mistaking them for armed militants yesterday

Mr. Huang, I have long admired your esteemed name

"No, we have already been walking for five days, no, ten days, and we are almost there." Ling Tianxiang was almost dragging Wei Daming forward.

Ling Tianxiang was caught in the middle of the team. After entering the cave, a teammate behind him handed him a night vision device. Not more than 50 meters in, the cave became so dark that one could not see their own hand. Without using a flashlight, torch, or other lighting equipment, it was simply impossible to navigate the cave without the night vision device. Perhaps this was the main reason Gu Weimin chose this location. Moreover, Ling Tianxiang was aware that this cave must have other exits, and they were certainly located far away.

I have said that we are here to visit the host of this place!" Huang Longfei glanced back at the bodyguard, "Moreover, we are here to seek help, not to buy or intimidate others.

Mr. Huang, please come in, but... the young man's attitude had become much more polite. He glanced at the several bodyguards standing outside and said, "The master has stated that only one bodyguard is allowed to enter, so..."

Tianxiang, don't mess around, it's us!

The house was not large, and after a glance at the situation in the hall on the first floor, Huang Longfei followed the young man upstairs. The study faced Mount Magala, as this area consisted of two- to three-story villas, allowing a full view of Mount Magala from the study. Upon entering the study, Huang Longfei's attention was not drawn to the lush green Mount Magala, but rather to the middle-aged man sitting behind the desk. It was only after Huang Longfei entered the study and the young man stepped out and closed the door that the middle-aged man, who appeared to be around fifty years old, finally stood up.

"Tianxiang, listen to me," Wei Daming said as he firmly grasped Ling Tianxiang's hand that was clutching his collar. "Don't worry about me. Go back and report the traitor's matter to Captain Gu. Also, the goods have not been secured; our mission has failed. We..."

Is it really that simple? Ajari seems to be dissatisfied with this answer

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't abandon you before, and I won't abandon you now!" Ling Tianxiang desperately pulled at Wei Daming, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not lift Wei Daming up.

Upon hearing Ajari's words, Huang Longfei knew there was a chance, as he used "we" instead of "I," which was a clear signal. "I can guarantee with my personal reputation that if Mr. Ajari can help me resolve this matter, I, Huang, will owe you a favor."

However ... ...

Huang Longfei sat generously in the chair, while the bodyguard remained faithfully standing behind him. "Mr. Ajari, we are straightforward people and do not speak in riddles. I wonder if Mr. Ajari has heard about the events that occurred to the north"

"Alright, seeing you in that state, I thought you were done for!" Gu Weimin handed the chocolate and the kettle to Ling Tianxiang, "Now we will head to the retreat point. We will do our best to stabilize Wei Daming's situation. Once the American troops have withdrawn, we will call for a helicopter to pick us up. Do you understand?"

The young man nodded, did not greet anyone, and closed the door. Then, a hurried sound of footsteps was heard coming down the stairs from inside the room

Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps reached Ling Tianxiang's ears. He instinctively turned around and drew his pistol, but before he could raise it, both the pistol and the * book * were snatched away. Ling Tianxiang did not think much about it; his left hand had already grasped the dagger, but before he could draw it, his left hand was also restrained. As Ling Tianxiang extended his right hand to retrieve the pistol from Wei Daming, he was pressed to the ground.

Huang Longfei's words came to an end; he did not continue speaking, but instead carefully observed the changes in Ajiali's expression

"Old Wei, get up!" Ling Tianxiang desperately tried to help Wei Daming to his feet, but he was also on the brink of exhaustion and had little strength left. "Get up, I said get up!"

"Mr. Ajari, I know who I am, and you are well aware of who you are as well." Huang Longfei did not wish to prolong the conversation any further; he was there to resolve an issue, not to engage in riddles. "The reason I, Huang, have come to see you this time is to request a favor."

"Indeed, five days, ten days." Wei Daming suddenly felt his legs give way and collapsed to the ground

A few minutes passed, and just as Huang Longfei was about to press the doorbell again, the sound of footsteps from the room was heard. Then the door was pulled open, and this time the young man removed the security chain that was fastened to the door.

Ling Tianxiang devoured the chocolate voraciously, then nodded, nearly choking as a result

"Tianxiang, where have we arrived?" Wei Daming gasped for breath. Although he had been supported by Ling Tianxiang all along, after walking continuously for an entire night, he was on the verge of collapse.

Mr. Ajari, I hope you can trust my sincerity. I, Huang, speak with utmost seriousness; if there ever comes a time when you need my assistance, as long as it does not go against the principles of heaven and earth, I, Huang, will certainly not hesitate to help you

"Let go of me, damn it, let go of me!" Ling Tianxiang struggled desperately, knowing that his efforts were largely futile, yet he refused to give up resisting. As long as he had breath left, he would not cease his struggle.

A fleeting shadow of darkness quickly passed across Ajari's face, but then it returned to normal. However, this did not escape Huang Longfei's keen eyes. "I wonder what Mr. Huang is referring to?"

Huang Longfei shot a glance at the bodyguard, who immediately stepped aside. Then, Huang Longfei signaled to a few other bodyguards behind him before he ascended the steps and approached the front door, pressing the doorbell. A flurry of hurried footsteps could be heard from inside, and after a considerable wait, the door was finally opened a crack, revealing a pair of terrified eyes belonging to a young boy staring at Huang Longfei standing outside.

You are ... ...

My surname is Huang, and this is my business card. Huang Longfei took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to the young man. You can tell Mr. Ajari that I have come specifically to visit regarding the events that occurred in the north

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Ajari's residence?" Huang Longfei spoke in somewhat non-standard English, but fortunately, the official language of Pakistan is English, which facilitated communication significantly

"No problem, everyone else stay outside." Huang Longfei nodded to the bodyguard behind him, who then followed the young man into the room

Ling Tianxiang did not know where he found the strength, but he immediately got up. "No problem, carrying someone on my back is no issue."

"Contact the helicopter as soon as possible and stabilize the situation first," Gu Weimin said as he stood up.

Hearing that familiar voice, Ling Tianxiang was suddenly startled, and then he saw a familiar face, which was none other than Captain Gu Weimin's face

Tianxiang... Wei Daming suddenly coughed a few times, "Yes, the mission is not over yet. You cannot take me, this burden, with you. You must go and complete the mission. Remember, you must go and complete the mission"

Let him go! Gu Weimin waved his hand at the two team members who were holding down Ling Tianxiang, then squatted down beside Ling Tianxiang. "You damn brat, this time you made me come out personally!"

"Old Wei, grit your teeth and hold on a little longer, we are almost there." Ling Tianxiang grasped Wei Daming's arm, "Do you remember when I first arrived at 'Snow Leopard' and what you told me? Keep going, keep going, just a little more. We are only a few kilometers away, Old Wei, you cannot collapse before I do."

"Captain Gu, there are only ten minutes left until the American military helicopters arrive," said the radio operator, who was carrying a long-range radio.

"No, you are not a burden; we are partners!" Ling Tianxiang's legs gave way, and he suddenly knelt beside Wei Daming. "We are partners, and I still need you to provide me with shooting data. Without your help, I can't aim properly; I simply can't aim properly, you know? Without your help, I can't aim at all..."
