The two embraced on the playground for who knows how long before Liou Qingcheng finally released Lin Tian and said, "I'm hungry."

"Then shall we grab something to eat?"

"I want to eat you right now!"

"Then go ahead and eat me."

"Giggling... Who wants to eat you, you stink. I'm not talking to you anymore, I need to head back to the dorm, I have to train tomorrow."

"Let's go, I'll walk you back."

On the way back to the dorms, the two hardly stopped goofing around, chasing and teasing each other all the way while laughing uncontrollably.

Just when Lin Tian was plotting how to coax Liou Qingcheng to stay out overnight, his phone rang in his pocket. When he saw the caller ID, it was Wu Yong.

He grabbed Liou Qingcheng, who was still trying to escape, and answered the phone at the same time: "What's up?"

The moment the call connected, Wu Yong first heard the sound of a girl's laughter, and his hand trembled as he said, "Tian, if you're in the middle of something, I'll hang up first."

"I'm not busy, just say what you need to say."

"Aren't you chatting up some beauty right now?"

Lin Tian was momentarily at a loss for words and replied into the phone rather irritably, "Just get to the point."

Hearing Lin Tian's displeased tone, Wu Yong quickly said, "Here's the deal, we've figured out the situation with that villa."

Lin Tian was stunned for a moment before becoming wildly excited, "I'll come over right now."

After hanging up, he found Liou Qingcheng looking at him. "Is there something up?"

"Yeah."

"Alright then. Come back early, there's military training tomorrow."

Lin Tian nodded, feeling a bit disappointed. He had planned to coax Liou Qingcheng to stay out overnight tonight, but it looks like it'll have to wait a few more days.

Little lamb, this wolf will spare you for a few days.

After sending the little lamb back to the dormitory, Lin Tian left the campus and ordered a car with an app, heading to Black Gold Security Company.

The receptionist was the same as last time. She already knew who Lin Tian was, so she approached him and led him to the conference room as soon as she saw him.

In the meeting room, besides Wu Yong, there were a dozen or so others also seated, which Lin Tian counted precisely to be fifteen.

Upon seeing Lin Tian, they all stood up from their chairs and shouted loudly, "Hello, Tian!"

Lin Tian, caught between laughter and tears, waved them off, "Come on, don't be like that, making it seem like Dark Wound Association here, just be casual everyone."

Even as Lin Tian said this, no one would really relax. After all, the dozen present were all retired special forces soldiers; even if they wanted to be casual, they wouldn't know how.

Lin Tian sat down in a chair, and after Wu Yong greeted him, he picked up a remote control and walked to the projection screen.

An image of a villa appeared on the screen, and Wu Yong began introducing it from there.

Wu Yong had sent three brothers who served as reconnaissance soldiers to observe the villa for a day, and these photos were taken by them.

Normally, this kind of villa surveillance would take at least three days of observation, but those three guys managed to catch a woman coming out of the villa, with her observations leading to some concrete insights.

"Is that woman reliable?" Lin Tian asked.

Wu Yong nodded, "That woman is a prostitute, she didn't know much, but she told us all she knew. There was no reason to put her life at risk."

Lin Tian nodded, "Go on."

According to Wu Yong's introduction, the villa indeed seemed off.

The three reconnaissance soldier brothers truly were professional; with just one woman and a day of observation, they figured out their shift times and how many were involved.

The number of people rotating shifts in the villa added up to twenty-four, split into three groups for duty, with eight people each time.

During their shifts, six people held guns around the villa, and two people were on the rooftop, also armed.

There was also a maid who went out to buy groceries and cook each day, and more than a dozen prostitutes inside. Whether there was a leader inside remained unknown, as the villa was too large to search all rooms.

As for the weapons, there truly were some, reportedly in the basement.

A brother had sneaked in for a look and found over forty large boxes. One box he opened contained grenades.

Once they had a pretty good understanding of the situation, the team began planning. Out of the sixteen present, except for Wu Yong, everyone else were special forces soldiers, skilled not only in execution but also in crafting tactical plans professionally.

Soon enough, everything was set.

The operation was to take place at 5:00 AM the following morning, coinciding with their guard-change time.

The reason was simple — that time was approaching daylight, when the enemies' vigilance would be weakest, greatly increasing the success rate of the operation.

The operation would involve thirty-two people. In addition to the fifteen retired special forces personnel present, there were fifteen other formidable brothers. The remaining two were, of course, Lin Tian and Wu Yong.

Then, Wu Yong sat next to Lin Tian while a reconnaissance soldier took over, explaining the positions of the eight lookouts and the general structure of the villa.

The eight lookouts: six scattered around the villa and two on the rooftop, holding guns at the highest point.

In the eyes of the fifteen special forces soldiers, those two snipers posed the biggest challenge because they themselves had no guns.

As they discussed how to handle it, Lin Tian stood up from his chair, "I'll take care of those two snipers."

Immediately, everyone's gaze turned to Lin Tian, filled with doubt.

In their eyes, Lin Tian was merely the company's boss, one of those rich but skill-less types.

Lin Tian scanned the room sharply, stating firmly, "I know none of you believe me, but rest assured, I wouldn't joke about this matter. I care more about this operation than any of you."

Hearing this, they put away their dismissive looks, their curiosity taking over.

They knew those two snipers were definitely experts. Even they weren't confident, yet Lin Tian seemed certain. For Lin Tian to say this, he was either a fool, or he truly had skill.

Evidently, they all unanimously believed he was the latter.

Lin Tian continued, "I have one more condition, no one inside is to be killed. Can that be done?"

The fifteen special forces soldiers suddenly stood up and responded in unison, "We can do that!"

Though they were retired, their military discipline hadn't changed — following orders was a soldier's duty, with no need for questioning.

Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction and was about to speak when Wu Yong asked, "Tian, with so many people inside, knocking each one unconscious would be quite troublesome."

Lin Tian rolled his eyes at him, "Are you dense? Use anesthetics! Here's the plan: start preparing now. It'd be best if you get some tranquilizer guns, and the kind that can knock a person out by covering their mouth and nose."

Wu Yong chuckled upon hearing this, "That's a good idea, I'll get on it."

With that, Wu Yong left, as he had no further role to play in the meeting.
