Chapter: 3350
Ye Chen saw Xu Yingdong's humble expression and his mood improved slightly, speaking in a tone of indifference: "If you're willing to correct your mistakes, then I'll give you another chance. Let's go!"
Xu Yingdong let out a sigh of relief, hastily saying: "Thanks, brother, thanks, brother!"
Just then, he added: "Before we set off, we need to conduct a routine search on you. Please understand."
Ye Chen gave him a stern look and coldly asked: "What's going on? When I was seeking help from you just now, I addressed you as 'you' and 'you', but now that my purpose has been achieved, it's suddenly become 'you'? Your facial expression is changing too fast!"
Xu Yingdong's face turned red with anger, hastily apologizing: "Oh no, I'm really sorry. I was careless and please don't treat me the same way."
Ye Chen spoke coldly: "Tell me again!"
Xu Yingdong seethed with anger but could only steel himself and approach Ye Chen, speaking in a courteous tone: "According to tradition, we need to conduct a routine search on you, and I hope you can understand it without any objections."
Ye Chen asked: "Why? You're going alone into the lion's den, and don't you think I might pose some threat?"
Xu Yingdong spoke sincerely: "You're going to meet our highest commander in Syria, so we must ensure that everything is safe and secure. Please be understanding."
Ye Chen's disdainful snort and a one-liner were followed by him raising his arms, saying calmly: "Alright, search me!"
Xu Yingdong immediately gave a subtle signal to the two soldiers standing nearby.
These two men then took out metal detectors and began scanning Ye Chen's body repeatedly, ensuring he wasn't carrying any weapons, knives, explosives, or GPS tracking devices.
Ye Chen knew his opponents would definitely conduct a search, so he didn't bring his phone with him. After they searched him thoroughly and found nothing unusual, he finally relaxed.
Xu Yingdong then said to Ye Chen: "By the way, can you remove your mask?"
Ye Chen refused bluntly: "I won't!"
Xu Yingdong looked awkward and said: "You can't wear a mask while negotiating with our commander, can you?"
Ye Chen asked back: "Why? Not allowed? If not, then don't talk about it."
Xu Yingdong gave in, speaking hastily: "Alright alright, if you insist on wearing it, then just wear it..."
Ye Chen chose to wear the mask because he hadn't yet figured out the situation at the Dragon Temple. At this time, if he suddenly revealed his true face and was caught by monitoring equipment or recording devices, it would be easy for them to find out his real identity. After all, facial recognition technology has become extremely advanced nowadays, so one needs to be cautious in such situations.
Ultimately, Ye Chen didn't have the ability to take on a mercenary organization with several thousand people on his own.
Xu Yingdong saw that he couldn't dictate to Ye Chen and was instead held tightly by Ye Chen, so he no longer persisted and just wanted to hurry up and hand him over to complete the task.
So, he took Ye Chen and got on an early prepared helicopter to head to the front-line command center of their side.
After flying for about 10-15 minutes, the helicopter slowly descended in front of a cluster of activity tents.
These activity tents were all government military camps or high-ranking officials' lodging areas from the Wanlong Temple, which was indeed much better than makeshift tents.
Moreover, whether it's the tents or the activity tents above them, camouflage netting has been set up, making it difficult to distinguish where the officers are stationed from the air. JrNovels.com
