Chapter 139 Part 1

In the battle in the tropical rainforest of Madagascar, although Shen Yao emerged as the victor, he suffered heavy losses. His strength was significantly diminished compared to the government, which possessed a massive research team and over two decades of accumulation. Most of his Dragon Blood Kins perished in that battle, leaving him with a severely depleted force that was insufficient to confront the government’s power. Hence, he was desperate to obtain the stimulant for Dragon Blood Kins, the Sea Dragon’s Horn, to enhance individual strength. Clearly, this was the most vulnerable and opportune moment to strike against Shen Yao.

As they were driving towards their destination, Shan Ming asked Tang Tingzhi, “If you manage to capture Shen Yao, what are your plans for handling him?”

Tang Tingzhi replied calmly, “Life sentence. Although the crimes he has committed deserve a thousand deaths, the higher-ups made a compromise with Shen Changze’s demands. After all, he is his biological father.”

Shan Ming lit a cigarette and spoke in a deep voice, “For someone like Shen Yao, he would rather you kill him than lock him up.”

“It will all depend on his mindset. He’s extremely valuable to the country, and rather than focusing on punishing him, we prioritize the benefits he can bring to the nation. If he remains obstinate, he will continue to be imprisoned. However, once we capture him, we will find a way to change his mindset. This is also what Shen Changze hopes. He promised to help us on the premise of not executing Shen Yao.”

“What about Zhao Qingling?” Shan Ming thought about Shen Changze’s mother, and he felt not only worried but also uncertain about that independent-minded woman. She had her own thoughts and plans, and nobody in the group could truly grasp what she was thinking. He knew she wanted to stop her husband, but he had no idea what her ultimate goal was.

Tang Tingzhi let out a sigh. “Although I would love to have her, I made a personal agreement with her that I will let her go after the mission is over. It’s such a pity, I’m afraid there won’t be another exceptional female Dragon Blood Kin as perfect as her.” Tang Tingzhi’s expression was filled with longing, and Shan Ming took a few extra glances at him, noticing that this person’s expressions were becoming more nuanced and increasingly resembling that of a living person.

When Shan Ming first met Tang Tingzhi, this man seemed almost like a clay doll, devoid of unnecessary expressions and words. He was like a robot, solely focused on his objectives. It was unclear when exactly Tang Tingzhi started becoming more human-like and gradually gaining flesh and blood. Perhaps it began with their numerous battles fought side by side, or perhaps it started with his praise of Ayer’s blond hair.

Ayer deliberately shook his foot and said, “Oh, really? No wonder they’re so shiny. Then from now on, you’ll be in charge of polishing them.”

Tang Tingzhi pursed his lips and lowered his head.

“What’s wrong? Not willing?”

“No, I’ll remember it,” he said, touching the small notebook in his pocket. He really wanted to take it out right now, but he didn’t dare to do so in front of Ayer.

Yang Guan couldn’t bear to see Ayer bullying their Colonel like this. Lately, Ayer had been acting strange, almost like a primary school student. He had been constantly picking on the Colonel for the most trivial things, things that lacked any sense of decency. Yang Guan even began to wonder if the cultural differences between the East and the West were too significant. Did Ayer really need to pester the Colonel every day to cook for him and personally teach him even the most basic Chinese grammar? The Colonel was a national treasure-level scientist, with a priceless intellect. Was he someone who should be wasting his time on such meaningless tasks? Just because Ayer had saved the Colonel, did that mean the Colonel should spoil him like this? Unable to contain himself, Yang Guan said, “Let me polish them for you. The Colonel’s time is precious.”

Ayer glared at him and said, “What’s it got to do with you.”

Tang Tingzhi waved his hand and said, “It’s okay…”

Yang Guan glared at Ayer with anger, and Ayer returned the glare, intentionally gluing closer to Tang Tingzhi. He even playfully ran his fingers through Tang Tingzhi’s hair and brought it near his mouth, blowing on them.

It was apparent to anyone with discernment that this shameless foreigner had ulterior motives for persistently bothering their Colonel. Yet, despite their growing concern, the Colonel seemed completely oblivious, as if tacitly accepting Ayer’s constant harassment.

Shan Ming glanced at Ayer, their eyes met, and he could see clearly the amusement in Ayer’s eyes. Shan Ming couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly. Regardless, Ayer and Tang Tingzhi do make a good match. The only thing he hoped for was that his brother would live a fulfilling life.
