Chapter 246: The Pentagon Infiltration Plan (1)
Yuanyang also looked a bit nervous. Tang Chen’s question was what she cared about most. Whether Wang Jianfeng was executed or not was a minor issue. Their main mission for going abroad this time was only one: to retrieve the data. If the data had already been fully researched by the U.S. Department of Defense, then retrieving it would be completely useless.
Wang Jianfeng did not dare to hide anything and spoke honestly: “It’s still in the early stages of research. The content in the data isn’t very comprehensive, so their Department of Defense only has a partial understanding so far.”
Tang Chen let out a sigh of relief. He said, “That’s good. In that case, I’ll spare your miserable life for now. Yuanyang, ask Black Fox where they are now and whether they’ve shaken off those FBI bastards.”
Yuanyang hummed in acknowledgement, took out her mobile phone, walked to the side, and made a call. A few minutes later, she came back and said to Tang Chen, “Tang Chen, I got in touch with them. They’ve shaken off all the FBI people and are now hiding in a secret place. Do you think we should take Wang Jianfeng and meet up with them now?”
Tang Chen thought for a moment, paced a few steps, and then said, “No. The Big Noses are probably in a frantic search right now. If we go in now, we could easily be caught. Does your team have any other bases elsewhere?”
Yuanyang nodded and replied, “We rented a farmhouse in the suburbs. It’s relatively safe there. We can hide there for a while.”
Tang Chen immediately said, “Good. Then tell Black Fox we’ll split up for now and not meet. We’ll take Wang Jianfeng and go to the farmhouse you mentioned to hide for a day. Then we’ll figure out how to retrieve the data from the Pentagon.”
Yuanyang agreed, then escorted Wang Jianfeng and his wife into the car again. They drove away from the valley in Smith’s car.
Meanwhile, in the Minister’s office at the Pentagon Department of Defense, the grim-faced white Minister Jackson was in a state of frenzy!
Just moments ago, he received a call from his subordinates saying that Wang Jianfeng had been rescued. He immediately slammed the phone down. Damn it, how could this happen? How was he going to explain this to his superiors?
Wang Jianfeng was a scientist whom their spies sent to China had worked for a long time to recruit and bring back. The main purpose of bringing him back was for the nuclear missile data. They had just started researching the data in Wang Jianfeng’s possession recently, but now that Wang Jianfeng was rescued, the research was forced to stop. Everything was ruined!
Knock knock!
“Come in!” Jackson heard the knocking, pressed his temples, and sat down in his chair. He didn’t want his subordinates to see him lose his composure.
“Minister!” The man who entered was a black man, about 1.75 meters tall, with a strong build, wearing a military uniform. This guy was the current FBI Bureau Chief Lawrence.
“Bureau Chief Lawrence, I hope you bring me good news.” Jackson sat up straight, looked at him, and spoke coldly, word by word.
Lawrence felt a chill down his spine. He swallowed and obediently said, “Minister, our people have launched a search throughout the Washington area. Not only that, but we’ve also dispatched helicopters and more. If nothing goes wrong, I believe we can quickly capture the people who rescued Wang Jianfeng.”
Jackson raised his eyebrows angrily and said, “If nothing goes wrong? So you still haven’t found them yet? Bastards, fuck! What’s the use of keeping you useless lot? Can’t you put more effort into your work instead of just eating burgers and working out? Send more personnel! Also, didn’t our country invent some Sky Eye system this year? Use the Sky Eye system! We must find Wang Jianfeng and bring him back alive!”
Wang Jianfeng was too important to them now; otherwise, Jackson wouldn’t be this angry.
“Yes, Minister!” Lawrence agreed, then cautiously asked, “Minister, who do you think did this?”
Jackson snorted and said wisely, “Who else but the foolish Chinese government would take such a big risk to snatch Wang Jianfeng away? I guess their goal must be the data Wang Jianfeng gave me. But right now, the data is in the confidential research room of our Pentagon. No one can enter without my order. I’d like to see if these Chinese can fly into my building like Superman and steal the data. Immediately call the Navy SEAL team leader for me. Have them conduct a full perimeter check of the Pentagon. The attack that happened decades ago cannot happen again at the Pentagon. We can lose the person, but our government’s face must not be lost again!”
“Yes, Minister!”
Meanwhile, at the farmhouse, Tang Chen was in his room, eating an apple and resting. As for Wang Jianfeng and his wife, he had locked them in the basement here, so it was very safe.
Creak!
The door opened, and Yuanyang in her black pajamas walked in. She reported to Tang Chen, “Tang Chen, I just spoke with Black Fox again. They’re fine. The FBI search is still ongoing, but they won’t be found for a while.”
Tang Chen casually hummed in acknowledgement but didn’t continue the conversation.
Yuanyang sighed and said, “I saw the news earlier. We’ve been listed as wanted fugitives. If we go out now and get recognized, we’ll be caught immediately and taken to the police station. To prevent us from being betrayed, I already killed the owner of this farmhouse.”
Tang Chen raised his eyebrows, pleased with Yuanyang’s attentiveness. He looked up at her and said, “Yuanyang, you don’t need to report everything to me. Go rest first. I need to think carefully about what to do next. Wang Jianfeng is already in our hands. The most important thing now is to retrieve the data. Staring at me here won’t help. Go rest.”
“Okay. You should rest too, don’t overwork yourself.” Yuanyang sighed helplessly, turned, and closed the door as she left.
Tang Chen threw the apple on the ground, lay down on the bed, thought for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and dialed a number that wasn’t saved but always remembered.
After two rings, the call was quickly answered. A kindly old voice came through: “Xiao Tang, this is the first time you’ve called me since you went to the United States. It seems things are progressing.”
Tang Chen hummed and spoke calmly to the person: “Yes, I’ve captured Wang Jianfeng.”
There was a pause on the other end, then a slightly trembling voice said: “Really? That’s great, Xiao Tang! I didn’t expect you to actually complete this mission. You’ve really impressed me. So, are you coming back now?”
Tang Chen laughed bitterly and said, “Don’t rush just yet. Things are a bit tricky now.” He then explained everything that happened today and what Wang Jianfeng said. After a moment, he continued, “I’m out of ideas now. Please give me some advice.”
The voice on the other end turned serious and said solemnly, “I didn’t expect Wang Jianfeng to already be helping the Big Noses research nuclear missiles. If we don’t retrieve the data quickly, there will be big trouble. The Big Nose government is probably searching for Wang Jianfeng too. You must be careful.”
Hearing such unhelpful advice again, Tang Chen felt a bit discouraged and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll be careful. But we can’t return so soon. The data must be retrieved.”
The old man on the other end said gravely, “Xiao Tang, I’ll say it again: since I’ve entrusted this matter to you, I’m giving you full authority to cause a stir. But you must be careful, because you’re now facing the entire Big Nose government.”
Tang Chen chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, I just called to let you know I’m safe. I promised you I’d keep a low profile, and I will keep a low profile. That’s all for now. Good night, rest early.” With that, he quickly hung up.
“System, do you have any good ideas?” Tang Chen asked the System without much hope, not expecting it to come up with any astonishing plans.
System: “Respected Host, you often limit yourself. Have you forgotten? The Invincible Cloak rewarded to you by this System last time is a tool that can achieve victory without bloodshed, isn’t it?”
“Invincible Cloak? Oh right, how could this Young Master forget about that item!” Tang Chen slapped his forehead. The Invincible Cloak could make him invisible. If he wore it, wouldn’t entering the Pentagon be as simple as it gets?
Thinking of this, Tang Chen didn’t waste any more time. He directly walked out, kicked open the basement door where Wang Jianfeng was, and immediately said: “Wang Jianfeng, you should know where the data is, right? I need a detailed map of that place. Can you draw it for me?”
