New Mission!

Roughly ten minutes later,

 

Two off-road vehicles carrying Lu Ting and all members of Task Force 141 parked one after another at the entrance of the busiest restaurant in this small town.

 

Led by a smiling owner, Lu Ting and his team of eight sat down at a rectangular table. Immediately, Lu Ting handed the menu back to the owner and passed separate menus to Price and Sandman, seated beside him, saying, "Take a look and order whatever you like."

 

"Commander is generous!"

 

Just as Price was about to take the menu, Soap reached out and snatched it away. After a brief glance at the English words on the menu, he waved his hand and began ordering.

 

Seeing this, Lu Ting just smiled and said nothing, letting him proceed.

 

Of course, Soap wasn't wasteful. Considering everyone's tastes, he ordered enough food to satisfy all eight people.

 

After ordering, everyone sat chatting and waiting for their food.

 

At this moment, sitting in the main seat, Lu Ting stared at Ghost, seated on his right, for a few seconds before suddenly speaking up, "Ghost, there's something I've been wanting to ask you."

 

At his words, the members of Task Force 141, who had been chatting among themselves, all turned their gaze towards Lu Ting and Ghost.

 

Perhaps because Lu Ting's expression was somewhat serious at this moment, the members felt a bit nervous, unsure why Lu Ting would suddenly mention Ghost.

 

Ghost also sat up a bit straighter and replied to Lu Ting, "Whatever you want to ask, Commander, please go ahead."

 

Seeing this, Lu Ting pointed at his own face and asked, "If you keep wearing that, how are you going to eat later?"

 

Ghost:

 

Members of Task Force 141:

 

They thought it was something serious!

 

"Hahaha!"

 

Soap couldn't hold back and burst into laughter. He hadn't expected Lu Ting to be curious about this. "Good question, Commander!"

 

"But you'll never guess how this aloof guy manages to eat! Hahaha!"

 

Honestly, even in the game, Lu Ting had never seen Ghost take off his black and white skull mask. It seemed as if the mask had become a part of his face.

 

And in this situation, Lu Ting was genuinely curious!

 

Following Lu Ting's curious gaze, Ghost sighed helplessly, reached up, and began to peel off the mask that extended down to his neck. Once his mouth was revealed, he stopped and just stared at Lu Ting without saying a word.

 

But his expression clearly conveyed his meaning.

 

"Oh."

 

"Haha."

 

Realizing what Ghost meant, Lu Ting chuckled awkwardly twice and didn't press further on why Ghost didn't take off the mask.

 

Soon, the waiters began serving the food. As Lu Ting enjoyed the delicious meal, he chatted with the members of Task Force 141 about their previous experiences with their armed group and recent events.

 

Through this meal, the bond between them grew stronger.

 

After finishing most of the meal, Lu Ting picked up his phone to check the time. Unexpectedly, on the locked screen, he saw an international news notification.

 

Immediately, the large characters "Chinese Interpol" caught Lu Ting's eye. Without delay, he unlocked his phone and carefully read through the news article.

 

Sure enough,

 

Just as Lu Ting had suspected, the content of this international news was directly related to the storage card he had handed over to the Interpol in the morning!

 

"Oh!"

 

"Quite fast action."

 

He had only handed over the item to the Chinese Interpol this morning, and by evening, there were already related results. It seemed that the Chinese International Criminal Police had been prepared on their end, likely waiting to receive direct evidence from the storage card before launching their operation!

 

"What's wrong, Commander?"

 

Price, sitting beside Lu Ting, noticed Lu Ting staring at his phone with changing expressions and immediately voiced his concern.

 

Upon hearing this, Lu Ting quickly responded, "Nothing, let's continue drinking!"

 

With that, he raised his glass, preparing to toast with the members of Task Force 141.

 

Buzzing—

 

Just then!

 

The phone that Lu Ting had placed on the nearby table started vibrating again.

 

Picking up the phone and glancing at it, he saw an unknown number displayed on the screen. After hesitating for half a second, Lu Ting decided to answer the call.

 

But unexpectedly, before Lu Ting could say anything, the person on the other end spoke first, "Hello? Is this Mr. Lu?"

 

Upon hearing the slightly familiar voice through the phone's receiver, Lu Ting raised an eyebrow in surprise. He glanced at the number displayed on the screen and then responded, "Miss Chen, I recall our employment relationship ended this morning, didn't it?"

 

The storage card had been safely handed over to the Chinese Interpol, and the international news about their operation had already been published worldwide. Therefore, Lu Ting couldn't imagine what more Chen Yaoguang could want from him now.

 

Beside Lu Ting, Price, upon hearing the words "employment relationship," gestured for the other members around the long table to quiet down.

 

Upon hearing Lu Ting's words, Chen Yaoguang on the other end of the phone fell silent for a second or two, seeming momentarily taken aback by his response.

 

Then she continued, "Yes, but that was our previous employment relationship. Now, I have another employment task and I'm interested in cooperating with Mr. Lu. Would Mr. Lu be interested?"

 

Upon hearing Chen Yaoguang's words, Lu Ting did not immediately respond. Truth be told, he wasn't keen on establishing any further contact with personnel from the Interpol or any other official entity from any country.

 

After all, mercenaries like him and regular military personnel were fundamentally different.

 

On the other end of the phone, Chen Yaoguang, realizing Lu Ting's hesitation, knew she had to drop something enticing to pique his interest.

 

So, Chen Yaoguang continued, "This time's employment task offers a commission of ten billion!"
