Chapter 2166: Chapter 2069: Simple and Direct
Windsor Reed never imagined that just the act of mining a diamond would provoke Mexico’s biggest drug lords. Especially now, these drug dealers audaciously, without a trace, abducted his son. Windsor Reed, worried about the repercussions, was angry but dared not act rashly.
The English royal family suffering such a setback in Mexico, how could Windsor Reed not be furious?
He wanted to protest to the Mexican authorities, but before he could enact this thought, Adrian immediately called him upon learning of the situation, informing him that the idea was unrealistic. Not only would it not make the drug dealers compromise, but it could also anger them.
In Mexico, those drug dealers are battle-hardened veterans, not at all afraid of confronting the authorities. Furthermore, the Mexican government has many covert interests tied with these drug lords and wouldn’t truly confront them directly, at most just putting on a show for them, without any substantive effect.
Hearing Adrian’s reasoning, Windsor Reed fell silent.
Huo Sining deeply agreed with Adrian’s reasoning. Previously, she and Gu Xu had already clashed with those drug dealers. The drug dealers are likely colluding with government officials secretly. Otherwise, when she and Gu Xu were in Mexico, those gangsters wouldn’t have easily found them and pursued them relentlessly.
Previously, although Huo Sining and Gu Xu almost suffered under those drug dealers, Huo Sining never thought of tearing with Tranleva, considering that since there was no need to deal with Mexico in the future, any losses were tolerable, and she could simply not return.
But this time, there’s no avoiding the confrontation. With her character, Huo Sining couldn’t continue to tolerate, so she decided not to endure anymore.
However, before taking action, Huo Sining didn’t act rashly. After all, relying solely on her own power to deal with Tranleva wasn’t easy, so she decided to first discuss it with Gu Xu and see what he thinks.
"Wife, do you really feel uncomfortable not stirring up trouble for a day?"
After Huo Sining recounted her experience in the Sierra Madre Mountains and revealed her decision, Gu Xu was both amused and exasperated.
He wasn’t meeting Huo Sining for the first time, so he knew his wife’s temper well. He initially thought that after getting pregnant, her temper might improve and she wouldn’t be as impulsive as before. But now it seems he truly overestimated his wife; she literally couldn’t sit still without stirring something up, needing to provoke a situation before she felt at ease.
Huo Sining felt a bit embarrassed hearing Gu Xu’s words, quickly explaining:
"I didn’t deliberately stir up trouble; Tranleva was just too much. The Windsor father and son have been on good terms with me, and besides, I’m still coveting the antiques in their collection room. If this matter isn’t resolved soon, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have the face to ask Windsor Reed for his antiques, so I can’t sit idly by."
Huo Sining tried to use a justification to persuade Gu Xu.
Gu Xu knew what Huo Sining was thinking. She just couldn’t stand injustice, seeing her friends being bullied. But thinking it over, Gu Xu relented. This was his wife. The day she ignored matters and allowed outsiders to bully her friends wouldn’t be Huo Sining at all.
"Alright, no need to explain. You stay put and don’t act rashly. Yu Fei and I will come over soon; we’ll discuss when we arrive!"
Gu Xu moved quickly. Since both were special forces soldiers, the military had already crafted multiple identities for mission disguises. So, upon returning to Mexico with simple makeup adjustments, Gu Xu and Yu Fei boldly arrived in Mexico once again.
Due to the change in identity information, when Gu Xu landed at Mexico’s airport this time, he wasn’t tracked by any suspicious individuals.
After Huo Sining found an excuse with Windsor Reed, she left the Sierra Madre Mountains, met Gu Xu and Yu Fei at a discreet hotel, and the three began discussing secretly.
In fact, after escaping back from Mexico to Huaxia, Gu Xu had been dwelling on this matter. Especially upon acquiring that confidential file, Gu Xu and Song Hui secretly discussed with Chief Lu. Including Chief Lu, several insiders were very interested in the bases in the hands of that Mexican drug lord.
Clearly, Chief Lu hoped Gu Xu would accept the mission, then lead a team to Mexico for the task, secretly entering those secret bases for exploration to see if any advanced information or technology could be gathered for use back home.
Don’t underestimate drug dealers for manufacturing drugs. Despite the country’s laws and policies limiting drugs, in reality, drugs can be a significant tool if used correctly. For example, their use in the medical field is a crucial topic, but domestically the technology is far less advanced compared to foreign countries. A significant reason is the fear of dealing with drugs among locals, with few diving deeply into this research.
However, in Mexico, many research drugs far exceeding domestic technology by at least ten times.
Coming across this data, Chief Lu and several other chiefs began having all sorts of thoughts.
Gu Xu planned to think through a meticulous plan before acting, but before he knew it, Huo Sining had gone to England. Then, Windsor Caesar got into trouble, and Huo Sining declared she would break into Tranleva’s base. Thus, Gu Xu could no longer dwell on planning a meticulous strategy and saw the urgency in supporting his wife.
Upon meeting at the hotel, Huo Sining went straight to the point. She lacked those convoluted ideas, boldly stating:
"Last time we could break into Jingdong Museum, this base shouldn’t need such precaution; we can break in directly!"
Upon hearing this, before Gu Xu could respond, Yu Fei was taken aback:
"Sister-in-law, wasn’t the Jingdong Museum incident conducted by your senior brother and his team?"
Interrupted by Yu Fei, Huo Sining realized she had let something slip unintentionally, stiffened, and awkwardly glanced at Gu Xu before hurriedly changing her tune to cover it up:
"Right, my senior brother did it, but I also participated. I went in with them at the time."
