A gust of wind blew by, but no figure appeared. However, the people on the island were all used to it and didn't even bat an eyelash. Who else could it be? Must be a ghost.
Zhouzhou focused her gaze and saw it too. It was the spirits from the cetery.
They said, "We're powerful now, our formation is strong, Zhouzhou, take us along, we guarantee you won't lose!"
"That's right, we're still useful."
"International Prison, huh? I must go! I had a target who ran into there before, causing my mission to fail, it's the only blemish on my record. This ti, I'll pull that bastard out."
When this was ntioned, the others nodded in agreent, chattering amongst themselves.
The ssage was clear—they were going too!
Zhouzhou looked at them, her gaze softening. "I was planning to bring everyone along. If you guys don't go, this mission won't be completed. Who doesn't know that you're the most powerful ones on this island?"
Hearing this, the spirits were pleased, their morale soaring.
"Zhouzhou, don't worry, we'll definitely bring your father back!"
"Exactly, exactly, we'll float in and find him for you first."
They were souls, invisible to the naked eye, the best suited for the task.
"Speaking of which," Zhouzhou paused and took out a few talismans. "When the ti cos, co find first and take this talisman before going in."
The island was full of talented people; who knew if anyone had researched ways to block spirits? This wasn't the first ti she'd encountered such issues, so it was better to be cautious.
"Okay," they agreed without objection, as Zhouzhou was more experienced in this regard.
After deciding on the team, Zhouzhou tapped the car window, lowered it, and said, "Dad, please take to the airport."
"Alright." Qin Lie nodded.
Zhouzhou quickly called Lan Tian to ask for help. Over the years, Lan Tian had nearly beco her personal pilot, agreeing without hesitation.
Not long later, Zhouzhou, Qin Ren, and Jing Bai boarded a plane heading to International Prison, and mbers of the Fourth Bureau were also on their way.
Qin Lie watched the plane disappear into the sky before he couldn't help but light a cigarette.
Ever since Zhouzhou ca into his life, he had almost quit smoking. It was only when she started taking on official missions with the Fourth Bureau that he'd smoked more.
It was all worries.
Always worried she might run into trouble.
Returning to the hotel, Grandma Qin was looking for soone. When she saw him, she imdiately asked, "Where's Zhouzhou?"
With soone else nearby, Qin Lie answered, "A friend took her on a trip, they're out having fun."
In the past, when Zhouzhou went on missions, she'd often say she was traveling with Ye Lingfeng.
Upon hearing this, Grandma Qin realized what was going on.
She was about to speak, but Grandpa Qin suddenly grabbed her hand and squeezed it. Seeing others present, she had to swallow her words, forcing a smile, and said, "Well, as long as she's having fun."
Although she said that, there was still a trace of worry in her eyes.
At that mont, Qin Er ca to see the guests off. Though he hadn't signed any confidentiality agreent and didn't know exactly what Zhouzhou was up to, he had spent the most ti with her and often worked alongside her, so he had a few guesses.
He walked over, helped Grandma Qin sit down, and patted her shoulder comfortingly. "Don't worry, Caicai is very capable."
Grandma Qin nodded, not daring to say more in front of others, afraid it might cause trouble for Zhouzhou.
Grandpa Qin continued chatting with the guests and soon shifted the topic.
After all the guests had left, Qin Lie looked up at the sky, checking the ti. Zhouzhou should have landed by now.
He wasn't wrong. Zhouzhou had just descended from the plane, sliding down a rope.
The Fourth Bureau team had not arrived yet, so she had gone to find Zheng Yu first.
Zheng Yu was hiding in a tree, and when he heard familiar footsteps, he stuck his head out and waved his hand. "Over here."
Seeing him, Zhouzhou nodded and quickly climbed up.
Zheng Yu made space for her and pointed to an island a kiloter away. "It's over there."
He couldn't get any closer.
He was the weakest in the Dragon Group, with only his hacking skills to rely on. During missions, he was only responsible for communications and didn't participate in actions, which allowed him to survive.
When past missions had gone smoothly, he hadn't thought much of it. But now, he regretted not being there, and if he had been, he would have fought to get his boss to safety first.
Noticing his thoughts, Zhouzhou comforted him with a pat. "Brother Lightbulb, don't think too much. Everyone has their own strengths, and besides, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't even know where Dad is. We'd be the ones panicking then."
She hadn't expected this to happen just after one day without divination.
She didn't feel great about it either.
But now wasn't the ti to dwell on it. The priority was to rescue her father.
In this matter, Zhouzhou was even calr than Zheng Yu.
Zheng Yu couldn't help but glance at Zhouzhou in surprise.
He knew how much she cared about his boss. Though she often teased him, it was only because she enjoyed seeing him fluster. In truth, she cared deeply about him.
Now that the leader was in trouble, her composure was a bit unexpected.
But thinking about it, Zhouzhou had been on so many missions and had developed a calm deanor. If she panicked at the slightest problem, how could she have led the Wealthy Group to such great success?
Realizing this, Zheng Yu felt a bit wistful. He was getting old—he couldn't keep up with Zhouzhou's steadiness.
But it was a good thing. As long as she could stay calm, the chances of saving her father would be higher.
It was a good thing.
After waiting a while longer, the Fourth Bureau team arrived.
Skinny Monkey darted up to Zhouzhou and whispered, "Boss, don't worry, we'll definitely rescue Captain Ye."
How dare they target their boss's father? That was like attacking their own!
It was unforgivable!
Others shared the sa sentint.
Looking at them, Zhouzhou smiled faintly. "I won't say thank you for now. I'll treat everyone to a al when we get back."
It was rare for the money-grubber Zhouzhou to say that.
"Boss, does that an we're having at?" Skinny Monkey teased.
She had ntioned treating them before, but they only ended up with stead buns. This ti, they were going all out!
Zhouzhou laughed and nodded. "Yes, at. If we rescue him, I'll treat everyone for a whole month."
Wow, soone's purse was going to bleed.
It was all for that month's worth of at. This mission must be completed!
Everyone's spirits were lifted even higher.
Zhouzhou raised her hand, signaling for silence, then looked in the direction of the island, her eyes flashing with a ruthless intent.
A few seconds later, she gave a signal.
Go!
