The deal was settled like this, and Huo Yishen went back to rest. 

The next day, Feng Kunpeng sent someone to negotiate with the Leilong base, while Jiang Ning asked him for explosives and gasoline. 

“Sister-in-law, what do you need these for?” 

Jiang Ning spoke bluntly about his feigned ignorance, “If we don’t let the dog practice in advance, what if it gets tired halfway through or takes it to the wrong place?” 

“Ah, I forgot about that.” Feng Kunpeng immediately arranged it and reminded, “But this stuff is too dangerous. If it takes it and runs around the base and gets shot by someone who doesn’t have eyes, it will be dangerous. 

How about this, let’s practice with soil first, and use the real stuff when it’s time?” 

Jiang Ning had no objection, “Okay, but don’t forget to prepare the sniper rifles. We can’t go unarmed, can we? Besides, we can’t get that stuff ourselves.” 

“No problem, I’ll figure something out.” 

Haha, he’s really an old fox and he’s keeping things tight. 

In the evening, Feng Kunpeng held his binoculars on the villa balcony. He’s observing Coke carrying the heavy explosive barrel, crawling, jumping… 

The dog attracted the attention of the entire base, even Feng Kunpeng was itching badly. This dog was really good; he wanted it badly! 

… 

The Leilong base probably suffered losses as well. They actually agreed to negotiate, but they decided on the location. 

This made Feng Kunpeng very unhappy, but he thought that his purpose was not negotiation but to completely eradicate them, so he eventually agreed to compromise. 

However, the terrain was unfavorable to them, and they couldn’t ambush in advance at all. 

Huo Yishen repeatedly observed the terrain, “Have you found the sniper rifles?” 

It took some effort, but they got them through special channels. 

It’s not the latest model, with a range of only about 1800 meters, but it was completely sufficient for Huo Yishen. 

As for the others, he didn’t recommend setting up ambushes in advance. 

If you’re going to negotiate, just negotiate openly and attract the other party’s attention from the front. Sneaking around would only make the other side more alert. 

In the end, Feng Kunpeng agreed. 

The negotiation was set for two days later, but Huo Yishen requested to leave a day early. 

The Leilong base was composed of expelled individuals with a bad reputation. Their thinking was very likely to be synchronized with Huo Yishen’s, so he had to plan and layout in advance to avoid being fooled by the other party. 

In fact, even after days of surveillance, Feng Kunpeng didn’t trust Huo Yishen deeply. Now he had to leave early with sniper rifles and explosives. He really didn’t agree from the bottom of his heart. 

But after all, in this operation, Huo Yishen was the most crucial link. If he stopped it, it would be too embarrassing. 

He quickly came up with an idea, “Doudou is still young. If a fight really breaks out later, with limbs flying everywhere, it might scare the child. What do you think?” 

Haha, isn’t this because he’s afraid the two might have ulterior motives and take Doudou hostage 

If they didn’t agree, they wouldn’t be able to leave the base, let alone their lives. 

Huo Yishen dared to come, he had long expected today, “No problem, but Doudou is timid. Before I come back, I don’t want a hair on her head to be harmed.” 

Feng Kunpeng readily agreed, “Don’t worry, Doudou is so cute, I will make sure she is well taken care of and not a single hair will be harmed.” 

No one was foolish. With such a cunning fox, it was just taking advantage of the situation, otherwise, with his calculating face, how many people would be willing to risk their lives for him? 

Back at the residence, Huo Yishen told the truth, “Doudou, brother and sister have to go out tonight and won’t be back until tomorrow. Can you stay here by yourself?” 

Doudou didn’t want to be separated, “But I want to be with brother and sister.” 

“We have a mission, it’s not convenient to bring you along.” Huo Yishen patted her head, “Don’t be afraid, wait for brother and sister to come back.” 

Doudou was reluctant, but still agreed, “Brother, I will take care of myself.” 

Jiang Ning packed up, and Huo Yishen gave Doudou a silenced pistol, hinting for her to hide it secretly. 

Doudou hid it extremely well, and no one could find it. 

After playing with her for a while, around midnight, the two of them and the dog were ready to leave. 

The dog was reluctant to leave Doudou and lingered around her for a while. 

Leaving enough food, Huo Yishen instructed her to lock the door before they left. 

Jiang Ning found Qiao Laosan, “Qiao Ge, you and Ah Shen know our personalities best. Now that we are all on the same boat, leaving Doudou behind is already sincere enough. 

If we come back and find anything wrong with Doudou, you know what will happen, right?” 

Qiao Laosan vowed solemnly, “You guys, I treat Doudou like my own daughter. If anyone dares to touch her, I’ll use his head as a stool for you to sit on.” 

Huo Yishen started the car and, before leaving, glanced up at the window of the residence. 

The house was dark, but he knew Doudou must be standing by the window. 

Taking a deep breath, he started the engine and drove away. 

Leaving the Qinggang base, the Hummer disappeared into the darkness. 

The negotiation site was 30 kilometers away from the base, situated between two mountains, one high and one low, with a wide line of sight in between. Just by looking at the terrain, it was clear that the Leilong base had similarly impure intentions. 

If he wasn’t mistaken, they also wanted to get rid of Feng Kunpeng and then absorb the Qinggang base. 

So, assassination was indispensable. 

What Huo Yishen had to do was to eliminate them before the ambush by the Leilong base. 

The negotiation was set for nine o’clock the next day, and it was entirely sufficient for him to arrive early in the morning. 

Judging from the contempt the Leilong base had for Feng Kunpeng, they couldn’t possibly be well-prepared to this extent. 

Arriving at the location, he turned off the headlights. 

Getting out of the car, they waited in the darkness for 15 minutes. After Huo Yishen and the dog confirmed that there was no one around, Jiang Ning stowed the car away. 

They made their way to the intersection that everyone had to pass at the Leilong base, finding a secluded yet observable spot 

With the dog keeping watch, Jiang Ning rested her head on Huo Yishen’s shoulder. 

In a daze, she was gently pushed down. 

Huo Yishen reminded, “Someone’s coming.” 

In the distance, headlights came on. 

Jiang Ning glanced at her watch, it was four ten in the morning. 

Observing through night vision binoculars, there was no tail. 

Huo Yishen and the dog immediately acted, intending to catch the other party off guard. 

Jiang Ning, who was completely ignored and thought to herself, “…” Was she that invisible? 

The other party came in the dark, just wanting to catch the early shift, but never expected that as soon as they pushed open the car door, a cold gun was pressed against the back of their head. 

What a tragedy! 

He considered himself formidable enough in the Leilong base. This assassination task was supposed to be easy, but he didn’t expect to die before achieving success. 

In an instant, he doubted life. 

This was definitely humiliating. 

The sniper rifle backpack on his back was ruthlessly taken away. 

The man raised his hands slowly and turned around, only to see that the one taking his bag was… a woman! 

Was this a joke? 

“Do you look down on women?” Jiang Ning swung the gun over, instantly causing him to bleed from his forehead. 

The man instantly felt dizzy, then he noticed that the one pressing the gun against his head was a man. 

Their eyes met, their skills evident upon meeting, the other party was professional, and much more skilled than himself. 

Furthermore, there was a fierce dog ready to tear him apart at any moment. 

Three against one, there was no chance of winning. 

Jiang Ning asked, “Do you want to die?” 

The man felt like crying, “Sister, do I have any other choice?”
