Chapter 431 Surprise

Xu Ze looked at the old man in front of him, who seemed to be in his fifties or sixties, and sighed softly, remembering the information he had inquired a long time ago when he just learned of his life experience , but my heart is also a little more heavy.

As expected, although he has been promoted to the fifth level, which is equivalent to the highest top-level S-level force known to date, Xu Ze always has a trace of uneasiness and vigilance in his heart, and he has never really let go.

This time, an old man popped up randomly, and they were all close to S-level masters, just like Xiaodao said. Xu Ze also agrees. In the information I saw last time, the only S-level masters recorded were Two people, this is definitely just something on the surface, there must be many masters who have not surfaced...

This old man has at least *-level and close to S-level strength, which means he is not too far from Xu Ze. No matter who he is, why did he suddenly lurk over and attack Xu Ze so cruelly, but this shows a lot of things.

Xu Ze and Xiaodao both thought of a lot at this time...

Seeing the gradually pale face of the old man in front of him, Xu Ze said slowly after a long time, "Xiao Dao... We seem to be in trouble."

"Well... indeed!" Xiaodao also realized the seriousness of the matter at this time, and after a long time, he slowly uttered: "Fortunately, you will be level six soon, I think there are not many people in this world who can surpass you ..."

Xu Ze looked up at the darkness around him, and sighed softly: "No matter what, Xiaodao, you still have to do your best to investigate the specific situation. At least we must have a bottom line in our hearts, and anyone who comes to assassinate me casually, It's already close to S-rank, I can't imagine how deep the water below is... There are only two S-ranks, I think it's absolutely impossible... I suspect that even SS-rank people will have it..."

Facing Xu Ze's worried look, Xiao Dao chuckled lightly: "Xu...you don't have to worry too much, as long as I'm here, even if you really have SS rank, it's only a sixth rank, and you won't be too big The problem!"

Speaking of this, Xiaodao's voice became a little more serious, and said: "It's just that someone came to assassinate you suddenly this time, and he used an expert of this level, this trouble is not small..."

"Go check it out... But I think it has nothing to do with my appointment as the deputy director of the combat department this time. It seems that I have taken up this position and really hindered many people's eyes!" Xu Ze smiled wryly. These unknown enemies are really powerful, and even such a master can be mobilized to deal with him, it seems that he really thinks highly of himself.

"Of course, the other party seems to have made up their minds to kill you. Just be more careful in the future... As for the specific situation, I will investigate again..."

Looking at the corpse on the ground,

Xu Ze frowned slightly, and then said, "Is there a way to deal with the corpse?"

"Of course... this is my forte. Decomposing living things is really too easy!" Xiaodao chuckled in the virtual space.

Following Xiaodao's laughter, a spark jumped out of Xu Ze's ring and fell towards the corpse.

In an instant, a violent flame burst out from above the corpse, and within ten seconds, it was reduced to ashes in the flame and drifted away in the night wind.

On the second day, Xu Ze walked into the General Staff Headquarters to go to work as usual. Under the current environment, the situation in the General Staff Headquarters was naturally as calm as before.

Along the way, Xu Ze greeted people with a smile as usual, but when he bumped into Director Tao from the Second Intelligence Bureau, Xu Ze was very familiar with Director Tao. He was in charge of intelligence and planning, and Director Tao I have also dealt with it a few times.

Although he didn't have much friendship with Director Tao, Xu Ze also said hello to Director Tao.

Director Tao was striding away thoughtfully, and didn't notice Xu Ze at all. After hearing Xu Ze's greeting, he habitually put on a smile and raised his hand to greet Xu Zehui.

But when he saw that it was Xu Ze, the expression on his face was stunned, revealing a strange look.

But after the strange look on Director Tao's face disappeared for a moment, he greeted Xu Ze and left as if nothing had happened.

For Xu Ze, whose mental strength has reached a certain level, it is easy to catch a slight change in the person's expression, so he also caught the weirdness in the other person's expression just now, and after a little pondering , but suddenly sneered.

"Sure enough, it is such a powerful force. I didn't expect that the situation of the General Staff Headquarters would have such a big problem. No wonder Minister Yang insisted on supporting himself in the position..."

Originally, Xu Ze didn't expect that this matter had something to do with Director Tao, but now Xu Ze was somewhat sure that his assassination yesterday had something to do with Director Tao.

Before Xu Ze became the deputy minister, this major general Tao Zhilong was originally the most popular candidate for the deputy minister, but Xu Ze suddenly intervened and scooped him up. The location of the Second Intelligence Bureau that went up.

Xu Ze originally thought that although Tao Zhilong was sometimes a little cold because of his personality, but now he had a glimpse of the truth. Tao Zhilong was afraid that he knew something, so seeing him appearing safely today, he was stunned. Missed God.

But Xu Ze naturally wouldn't make any fuss at this time, he continued to walk towards his office leisurely, and went to his class with peace of mind. As for things like fear, doubt, and fear, since he couldn't feel them, then You have to let your enemy feel it.

Pretend to be mysterious, and let those people know how powerful they are, if they have some doubts and fears, they won't dare to be so blatant if they have some taboos.

Regarding the assassination, Xu Ze did not intend to tell Minister Yang Guanglian. After all, the other party has such a master, even if it is useless to tell Yang Guanglian, but as for the others, Xu Ze smiled when he thought of one person...

In the office of the Deputy Chief of the General Staff Department, Bai Jianguo looked at Tao Zhilong, who had a gloomy face, and said coldly, "What did you say?"

Tao Zhilong turned his head to look at the door, and found that the door was indeed closed tightly, so he lowered his voice and said, "I said the plan seems to have failed..."

"Failed? How is it possible?" Bai Jianguo, who was confirmed, still had a look of disbelief on his face at this time, and lowered his tone, angrily said: "Impossible, the other side has already agreed to attack, how could it fail? "

"It's absolutely impossible for them to fail!" Having said this, Bai Jianguo said angrily with confidence: "Don't doubt their ability!"

Seeing Bai Jianguo's confident appearance, Tao Zhilong swallowed with some difficulty, and said, "Minister, I just met Xu Ze in the department..."

Hearing Tao Zhilong's words, Bai Jianguo was also stunned, his face darkened suddenly, he frowned, grabbed a pen and made two slow gestures, then looked up at Tao Zhilong and said: " Did you just meet?"

"bumped into!"

"Well... that may be because they delayed the plan!" Bai Jianguo nodded, and said with certainty: "Don't worry, don't worry... Since they agreed, they will definitely finish it in two days..."

Seeing Bai Jianguo's answer in this way, and his confident expression, Tao Zhilong had no choice but to nod his head, not to ask any more questions.

After Tao Zhilong left the office, Bai Jianguo sat at the desk and pondered for a long time before picking up the phone on the desk and dialing a number...

"Beep...beep...beep..." After the phone rang several times, a voice with a self-satisfied smile rang out: "Minister Bai, you must be busy today..."

"Busy? Not busy... What am I busy with, why not just like that..." Bai Jianguo didn't dare to offend the person on the phone. Although he had something to ask, he still smiled.

"Huh?" But the other party was taken aback when he heard Bai Jianguo's words, and then smiled: "Why, why is the efficiency of your chief staff officer low now? It's past nine o'clock now, and no one has noticed anything unusual?"

"Abnormal? What is abnormal?" Hearing the other party's words, Bai Jianguo suddenly felt a little bad, and asked quickly.

"What? The war department hasn't reported the fact that Xu Ze couldn't be found?" The voice over there also asked with a hint of astonishment at this moment.

Hearing this, Bai Jianguo felt that he was really dizzy, and said dumbfounded: "Xu Ze came to work today, didn't you guys not do something yesterday?"

"Ah?" The other party seemed to be stunned, and after a while, he said: "Okay, Minister Bai, let me ask, I will call you back later..."

Bai Jianguo sat anxiously at his desk, staring at the phone above, waiting for a call back.

Now he has also discovered that something is wrong. With the efficiency and ability of the other party, it should definitely be carried out according to the plan, but the plan was not completed yesterday. What happened...

Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes passed, and the phone still didn't ring. Bai Jianguo finally became anxious, picked up the lighter, lit a cigarette, and started circling in the office, pouring back and forth fall down,

After waiting for another ten minutes, Bai Jianguo finally couldn't bear it anymore, reached out to pick up the phone, and dialed the number just now.

The other party answered quickly, but it made Bai Jianguo feel that something was wrong. The other party's phone was by his side, but he hadn't called for so long, maybe there was something wrong.

Sure enough, that voice came from over there. At this time, Bai Jianguo could even hear a hint of anger and surprise in that voice, and said, "Minister Bai...something went wrong, and the person who carried out the task yesterday cannot be contacted now." , don't worry, I will find out the situation as soon as possible and call you back..."(!)
