Two days later, Qiao Mai returned to China with many other experts, and her first stop was Chengdu.

Of course, this is not only because of Li Xiang's invitation, but also because she and a few friends have not seen each other for a long time, and it is time to contact and connect with each other.

Li Xiang arranged dinner at his own home, and Wang Jiancheng, who had been in retreat for a long time, finally "took out precious time" to participate, and inevitably, he was also ridiculed by the three, and Qiao Mai even laughed at "You are busier than Chen Nian."

However, the four of them are all old acquaintances, although Qiao Mai and Wang Jiancheng always don't deal with each other much, but a little joke is still harmless.

As they waited for the food to be served, the group chatted about their recent work plans and about the attack on Jomai in Las Larackera.

Actually, the situation over there is not as dangerous as you think, and it is clear that the attack was not aimed at us."

"Although I don't know much about the military, I can see that a team that can do that kind of attack, even if it wants to launch an attack on our base in Laslaqueira, will definitely not be difficult."

"Of course, I'm not saying they can get into the base, but it's absolutely feasible to inflict more casualties if they want to."

"But herein lies the problem – not only did they not do it, they tried to avoid casualties as much as possible."

"It's incomprehensible anyway."

"Anyway, I picked up a bargain, I went to the front line to see it myself when the attack first happened, and then I was rewarded when I came back-—— in fact, I didn't do anything at all."

Qiao Mai's expression was a little self-deprecating and a little helpless, but even Wang Jiancheng, who usually had to scold her when he had the opportunity, could see that although she said it easily, it was not easy to make the decision to go to the front line to check the situation in person at that time.

"So how did you solve the problem?"

Wang Jiancheng asked curiously.

"It didn't work out much."

"It should be said that it has not been solved at all."

"We have repaired the pipeline, and the base has applied for a higher level of security patrol authorization with the Qatari official, and occasionally our engineers will follow the car to patrol so that if something unexpected happens, it can be dealt with in time."

"But since then, we haven't really had any accidents."

"Until last week, the higher-ups -—— Li Xiang and their side-—— they informed us that the situation had been tightening recently, and asked us to withdraw, and then we withdrew."

"There's really nothing to say, and there's no scene in a blockbuster movie like you think."

"Oh."

Wang Jiancheng nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any further.

Then, he sensibly diverted the subject.

"I also said that I went to Qatar for so long this time, why didn't I see you black? The sun was so strong over there that I had only been there for more than a month, and it was dark all over. ”

"I'm here to do technology, not to practice like you. I don't have much time to go out in a day, so where can I get dark? ”

"Wait a while, don't talk about this yet, let's talk about some real problems."

Speaking of this, Qiao Mai's expression suddenly became serious.

She turned to Li Xiang and said seriously:

"I think that you, the service department, should consider solving practical problems for comrades."

"There are four people at this table, adding up to more than one hundred and twenty years old, and none of them are in love, don't you think your work is very dereliction of duty?"

Li Xiang scratched his head in embarrassment, but he didn't hide it.

He first glanced at Chen Nian, then at Wang Jiancheng, and finally said:

"Actually, the two of them are already in the plan, of course, the highest priority is Chen Nian, but there is no way, people don't even participate in the event, and we have no place to work hard."

"Say it yourself, now that Chen Nian doesn't say a word, who dares to press his head and say yes?"

"Service work is not easy to do, this kind of thing still depends on consciousness, anyway, I am quite conscious, I am already in contact."

"What about yourself? Is there a plan? If you don't have a plan, I can also contact the administration to arrange it for you. ”

"Arrange it."

Qiao Mai said calmly.

Seeing the two of them discussing the future relationship planning freely, Chen Nian was still a little uncomfortable for a while.

But on second thought, yes, my 30th year old has passed!

For more than ten years, I have always devoted myself to the cause of science and technology, and many times I am not even aware of the passage of time, let alone my old age.

But I don't think I really need to get married?

This has to be interpreted from two perspectives.

If life is for experience, then I have already experienced it in my previous life, and there is no need to repeat it again.

If reproduction is the responsibility that individuals must assume in order to perpetuate the human species. Damn, is there anyone in the world today who has made a greater contribution to the continuation of mankind than he has made?

Hey! The logic is self-consistent!

So, Chen Nian relaxed again.

He listened to Li Xiang's words without a word of poking at him, and said bluntly:

"You better don't spend too much time with me, I really don't need any emotional help-—— seriously, do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't know how to run home when it's raining?"

Hearing Chen Nian's words, Li Xiang simply didn't shy away from it.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Do you think you want you to get married, have children, and raise offspring? Concerned about your relationship problems, it has nothing to do with this, is it good? ”

"In fact, the main reason why I want to give this issue such a high priority is because I am worried about your psychological problems."

"You know, we've suffered losses in this regard."

"Many older generations of academics and researchers have a 'hidden self-destructive mentality', which is the subconscious belief that in order to achieve something, you must give up others."

"The manifestations of this psychology include, but are not limited to, the hardships, family abandonment, self-sacrifice, etc., which have been widely publicized before, and the overall impact of this kind of psychology is very negative from the results of research and review in recent years."

"Because it disrupts a person's self-equilibrium, from a utilitarian point of view, it leads to a decrease in overall utility."

"As for you, it's obvious that everyone is worried now that the manifestation of your self-destructive psychology is the rejection of feelings and marriage."

"Very convincing reasons."

Chen Nian said convincingly.

"But I really don't have that problem."

"I can see it."

Before Li wanted to speak, Wang Jiancheng interjected on the side.

Li Xiang glared at him, but didn't say anything.

"Forget it, we're going to focus on you for now—let's talk about that, let's talk about Lasracchira."

"The level of secrecy here is enough, and I don't have to hide it from you."

"Senior sister, I called you back this time, mainly because of the matter of Laslaqueira, there are already preliminary results."

"We may organize a raid there, and there is a possibility of retaliation and counterattack later, so we have to bring back key personnel first."

"What the hell is the clue?"

Chen Nian asked curiously.

"I'll tell you in private."

Li Xiang shut up, it was obvious that the secret level of other people could know that the action existed, but they definitely couldn't know the details of the action.

Then, the significance of this action is really not as simple as Chen Nian expected

A few hours later, Qatar, the capital of Doha, next to the Corniche.

Several inconspicuous private cars have been parked on the side of the road for more than five hours, but none of the passengers in the cars have gotten out of the car.

In the back of the car, a man with an Asian face is wearing body armor, and next to him is a special CQB HK416C assault rifle.

"Here's a jackal, a sparrow, report the situation, is there anything unusual about the target?"

The man asked as he put the radio back on.

"No anomalies were found, and the two of them were like ordinary tourists, walking by the sea for 1 hour, and now they are back in the hotel."

"The canary has just confirmed that the two of them have entered two separate rooms, but there are more than the two of them in each room."

"We suspect that the other party also placed security forces inside the hotel room, which should also be from some private force company, but we have not obtained facial recognition information from the security personnel, so we cannot make a more specific judgment."

Hearing the answer in the headphones, the man frowned slightly.

"Is it possible to get more information from the hotel through official pressure?"

"No, the target is cautious, we don't dare to take risks."

"Understand, then adopt a strong attack strategy, is the whole team in place? Do you want to apply for authorization now? ”

"The whole team is in place and can apply for authorization."

The man, codenamed Jackal, nodded subconsciously, and then, he picked up an encrypted call terminal from his hand and connected to the higher command headquarters.

"This is the jackal, confirm that all options are invalid, request a brute force attack on the fox, please authorize."

"Hunter received, please confirm that all alternatives are invalid."

"Jackal confirms that all options are ineffective and that the only way to attack is to take a strong attack."

"Green light, action."

The phone hung up, and the jackal couldn't help but sigh deeply.

This is definitely one of the toughest opponents he's ever faced.

Of course, it is not because of how strong the opponent's firepower is and how abundant his martial arts are, but because the other party's degree of caution is really beyond his imagination.

On the surface, the two tourists from the United States simply stayed at an ordinary chain of resorts, just like the rest of the tourists.

But in fact, from the moment they entered the hotel, the security measures of this hotel have been completely upgraded-—— no, not to say that it has been upgraded, but it should be said that it has been completely taken over.

More professional personnel began to provide security services for the hotel, and they plugged all the loopholes and arranged a series of evacuation measures, as many as 12 of which were identified by their own team alone.

Even the plan that the team had considered before to attack through hypnotic gas injection had been anticipated by the other party, which could be seen from the more than a dozen sets of breathing apparatus they had quietly transported into the hotel.

Jackals wondered if they had been so cautious all along, or had they discovered their own watchful force?

If they have found out, it doesn't make sense logically.

They should just run away, and they shouldn't waste time here again.

That can only be said that they are indeed inherently cautious.

The countdown to the action was two minutes, and all the executive personnel in the private car got out of the car, the weapons were ready, and everyone's faces were filled with a kind of indifference of "determined sacrifice".

This mission is extremely difficult, it is not just a raid, but a raid to ensure that the target survives.

Casualties are bound to happen, but I don't know exactly how far they will go.

"Let's get moving."

The jackal gave a low command, and then his voice was transmitted to the rear command through the integrated command system.

Five seconds later, on the north side of the esplanade, a loud explosion was heard.

Immediately afterward, the entire Corniche was plunged into darkness.

There was a power outage.

From now on, until the hotel backup generator starts, they have 30 seconds to assault the fourth floor of the hotel.

The jackal suddenly accelerated, followed by all the executives, and rushed into the hotel.

And at the same time, the room on the fourth floor of the hotel.

Jace looked at the surveillance in the room indifferently, and there was no nervous look on his face.

He pointed to the footage captured by the infrared camera and said:

"The other party is a very professional team. If you look at their CQB play, maybe it's not too much to say that they are the strongest CQB team in the world. ”

"Wave-shaped leaps, quick clearing of simple corners, adhere to the principle of proximity, and always pay attention to the muzzle pointing of the No. 1 position and make blind spot supplements."

"Didn't you say that your team members have a lot of CQB combat experience? Why do I feel that you have nothing to fight back in front of them? ”

The captain in charge of security standing beside him had a somewhat ugly face.

But after listening to Jace's words, he also had to nod and reply:

"Yes, it must be admitted that the other party's level of professionalism is one level higher than ours."

"They can't be CIA agents, we were defending in the wrong direction from the beginning."

"You can see this from the way they attack, they are clearly employing a fast-moving and aggressive plan to disrupt our command and decision-making system as quickly as possible."

"You can't say how strong their skills are, but they are really not afraid of death."

"Mr. Jace, prepare to retreat, although I don't want to admit it, there is no suspense about the outcome of the victory."

"Retreat? Where to retreat? ”

"They have the ability to blackout an entire neighborhood, and you don't think they have the ability to catch me?"

Jace had a mocking smile on his face.

"I made a mistake-—— we shouldn't have used any security."

"After all, once discovered, it means that the game is over."

"I should have quietly thrown in the towel instead of letting so many people lose their lives for me."

"So, your contract is over."

"Now, lay down your arms, I'm going to surrender to them"

The captain looked at Jace in surprise, and he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just nodded quietly.

Jace took a deep breath.

Then, he stood up and opened the door to the room.

Walking into the corridor of the room, he raised his hands and shouted:

"I surrender!"

"I'm the one you're looking for!"

"Don't shoot, it's over!"

The gunfire suddenly stopped.

Those who attacked, apparently, had already seen themselves from night vision devices.

Then, in the next second, the backup power is turned on and the lights come back on.

Jace looked back and saw Paul, who had also raised his hands, standing behind him.

The two looked at each other and smiled, but did not speak.
