Dane wiped a bead of sweat from his brow, the urgency in his voice palpable. "I was almost caught when I took that picture. These groups have installed new surveillance cameras, so we must be careful," he warned, the gravity of the situation settling heavily in the room.
Ling Li, ever the meticulous leader, leaned in, her eyes narrowing with determination. "What happened to the other soldiers?" she asked, her voice steady but laced with concern.
Dane's hands shook slightly as he fished out a photo from his jacket pocket. "Here, look at this picture. There are deliveries every end of the week; they pour solutions into the water reservoir," he explained, his voice breaking slightly under the weight of his words.
Ling Li's eyes widened as she pieced together the puzzle. "So they infected the water. I see. Mushu, we need to find out what that solution is," she directed, her voice carrying the weight of command.
Shi Min, who had been silently studying the photo, suddenly spoke up.
"Mom, I have seen this guy. He looks familiar," he said, pointing to a man in the background.
Ling Li's face turned ashen as her photographic memory kicked in. "He is Fen Zhang. He works closely with the President. And also the secretary of the group," she revealed, her voice trembling with suppressed fury. The tension in the room was palpable, like a coiled spring ready to snap.
Dane snorted, unable to hide his contempt. "Madam, Dr. Gao is now the one directing the camp," he said with a bitter edge.
Ling Li's eyes flashed with a mix of anger and determination. "How many people do they have inside the camp?" she asked, her mind already racing with plans.
"They have around three hundred. Several new doctors arrived, too. But when there is an alarm, a truckload of soldiers would come immediately. When I took that picture inside the lab, I didn't know they had installed new cameras. The alarm sounded, and more than ten truckloads of soldiers searched the area for me," Dane stated, his voice reflecting the adrenaline rush he must have felt at that moment.
"Another thing is that one Doctor comes in and out of the Camp and stays by the lake. I don't know what he is up to," Dane added, his brow furrowing in thought.
Shi Min's face lit up with sudden realization. "He must be waiting for someone among us," he mused aloud, his thoughts racing.
Ling Li nodded, her decision made. "Otako must take action on this," she said firmly.
"Mushu, please get in touch with El Padre and El Capitan. I will contact Otako. Dane, come with us. Let's go back first and plan this well. Let's stay at my vacation house," Ling Li decided, her voice brooking no argument.
The mention of Ling Li's vacation house, a secluded haven known only to her family, underscored the gravity of the situation. It was a place where plans could be made without the prying eyes of their enemies, a sanctuary where they could regroup and strategize for the battles ahead.
When they arrived at Ling Li's vacation house, Shi Min, Dane, Mushu, and Pharsa eagerly gathered around the large television, scrutinizing the photos displayed on the screen. The vibrant images captured by Dane while investigating the Camp's situation. The room was filled with anticipation as they awaited the arrival of El Capitan and El Padre, whom Goldie was picking up from the airport.
Ling Li was in her office, connecting with Otako's team and discussing urgent matters that couldn't wait. Her brow was furrowed in concentration, fingers dancing over the keyboard as she communicated with urgency. The air in the office was tense, but Ling Li's determination was palpable.
An hour later, the sound of an approaching car drew everyone's attention. The front door burst open, and El Padre and El Capitan entered, their faces etched with fatigue from their journey.
Ling Li also emerged from the office, her presence immediately commanding attention.
As the group reunited, El Padre's eyes were drawn to the television screen. "Wait! Go back to the previous picture," he said, his voice urgent.
Shi Min quickly rewound the slideshow, and the image in question reappeared. El Padre's eyes widened in disbelief. "I'll be damned!" he spat out, the words dripping with shock and anger.
El Capitan's reaction was equally intense. "That is Boris!" he exclaimed simultaneously with El Padre, their voices echoing in unison.
"Who is Boris?" Ling Li asked, her tone curious but cautious.
El Padre's expression darkened, his fists clenching at his sides. "He was the merchant I was telling you about. He was the mastermind of your ambush!" he said, his voice seething with wrath.
The room fell silent, the weight of El Padre's revelation hanging in the air. Ling Li's mind raced as she processed the information. The merchant who had orchestrated their ambush more than a year ago was now staring back at them from the photograph, a smug smile on his face.
"Fuck them! Fuck them all!" El Padre couldn't help express his anger.
"So what you have seen in heaven was true, Mom. Your ambush is related to this group. Could it be that the President knew the ambush would take place?" Shi Min asked with his brows almost intertwined.
"Let me kill that bastard!" El Capitan yelled angrily.
"Relax; Otako will give us a hand," Ling Li said, her voice calm and assured. The room was still buzzing with the tension of the recent revelation, but her words had a soothing effect on the group.
Shi Min, always the cautious one, leaned forward, her eyes narrowing. "What is Otako's plan?" he asked, his tone reflecting both curiosity and concern.
Ling Li took a deep breath before responding, his gaze steady. "Otako said they will take care of all the people guarding inside the camp and let the truckloads of soldiers arrive, and they will wipe them out."
There was a moment of stunned silence. Then, Dane, who had been pacing nervously, stopped in his tracks. "What the hell!" he exclaimed, the shock evident in his voice.
"Fuck up!"
What the hell!"
One after the other, they expressed their disbelief.
