Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 448
Chapter 448: The First Step to Set Foot on the World Stage
– The next day –
– M Nation, Washington, Airport –
The moment Xu Cheng landed and was going through the visa check, he was met by the FBI.
He told Lin Chuxue, Lin Dong, Luo Yi, and Li Wei to go on first to go to report to the university, and he was summoned to the interrogation hall.
An agent looked at him and asked, “Can you speak English?”
Xu Cheng nodded.
“Do you know why I only asked you to stay behind?” The interrogator across the table looked at him with sharp eyes.
“Sir, I don’t know,” Xu Cheng said.
The interrogator snorted, picked up his resume and profile, and said, “Xu Cheng, 21 years old, enlisted in the Huaxia military for five years, outstanding achievements, and last year, you even won the title of the Huaxia Special Forces Competition champion. Half a month ago, because of a major disciplinary violation, you were removed from all positions in the military. What I want to ask is, why did you come to the M Nation at such a time? Do you have a specific purpose? Can I suspect you of being a spy?”
Xu Cheng smiled. “Yes, I indeed have a purpose.”
The interrogating officers all narrowed their eyes. Xu Cheng said, “I came here to make money, and if I was really coming here as a spy, you think you would be able to find the documents that are in your hands right now?”
This was also why the FBI didn’t directly detain Xu Cheng first. Just with how easily they were able to find this information, if Xu Cheng was really here on a mission to be a spy, then it would be too easy to expose him.
“Don’t go in circles. We can refuse your visa to enter this country and send you back to Huaxia. You better convince us, what violation did you commit that got you removed from the military?”
Xu Cheng: “Can I not say it?”
Interrogator: “No, we can also refuse to let you through.”
Xu Cheng shrugged his shoulders. “This is something that no one wants to face. You guys should know as well, my pay wasn’t high, and if you guys were to trace all the way back to my childhood in Britain, you would notice that I have a tragic past. I just want to live with my head up and with my pockets full, so I took a bribe and was fired. I don’t think anyone in my shoes would enjoy talking about this kind of experience, right? I came to the M Nation because I long for Las Vegas and the American Dream. How is it, is it enough? I like money, and I’m just here for the money.”
The interrogators all looked at each other.
Xu Cheng: “Since when was the M Nation afraid of people like me entering the border? Isn’t this the country advocating freedom? Or do you want to just go and take down the Statue of Liberty? I feel like in comparison to those foreign drug lords or mafia, wouldn’t I be like an ant in comparison for you to worry?”
“I’m warning you, you better not do anything against the interests of the M Nation.”
“Of course,” Xu Cheng casually replied.
Then, the interrogator finally stamped his visa and dismissed him.
When he left the airport and looked up at the midday sun, he mumbled to himself, “Don’t feel much different, I really can’t notice the difference in air quality and sunshine. M Nation, I’m here, are you ready? Little Joker, this time it’s my turn to stir up a sh-tstorm under your eyes.”
Chuckling, Xu Cheng shook his casual windbreaker, picked up his luggage, and went to group up with Lin Chuxue.
The FBI didn’t give up monitoring him, but Xu Cheng didn’t really mind. After all, he was just here to study some biology and chemistry for the time being. As for laying down the groundwork for their plan, there were Luo Yi and Li Wei taking care of that.
As for the M Nation’s side, Lin Dong would run errands for Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng almost didn’t have to do anything, because he could always get others to work for him.
Lin Chuxue had to leave Xu Cheng and the others to go to Harvard, and she didn’t want it to be sad saying goodbye in person. So, at night, while Xu Cheng was asleep, she gently kissed him on the forehead, and just when she was about to leave…
Xu Cheng’s eyes were already open. He looked at Lin Chuxue’s back image and quietly said, “Actually, last time you did this back at the military camp, I was also awake. How many times do you want to play this trick?”
Lin Chuxue stuck out her tongue and turned around. “I just want to leave more handsomely.”
Xu Cheng got out of bed and walked to her. He hugged onto her tightly and said, “Take care of yourself. I know you are a strong and independent woman, but remember, you are already someone with a husband! If I find out that you are too close to another guy, I will chop him up into pieces! And also, protect yourself. Besides studying, don’t worry about anything else.”
Lin Chuxue nodded. “Um, you too. This is a path I chose, I’m willing to go down it with you. Also, no matter what it is, you don’t have to face it alone. Tell me, and I will shoulder it with you. Although I might not be very capable right now, I’m working on it.”
Xu Cheng nodded. “Alright!”
Lin Chuxue left with her bag. And when she got to the door, she suddenly turned back and smiled at Xu Cheng. “Do you know why I didn’t really mind those assets that Auntie Lan wanted to give me? Because I know, you can give me more. The reason I didn’t accept it is that I want to be able to confidently tell others in the future that I’m the lady of the Xu Family, not someone that inherited the Ye Family’s fortune!”
“Alright, then I will be the first generation patriarch of the Xu Family!” Xu Cheng smiled.
“Alright, stop dreaming. Just go back to sleep.” Lin Chuxue chuckled, and she left without looking back.
Xu Cheng also smiled. He knew that his wife was cheering him up, but he took it seriously!
Great powers come with great responsibilities!
The moment Chuxue left, Luo Yi and Li Wei popped up from the left and right sides of the door. They were leaving too! To South Africa’s Land of Mercenaries!
On one hand, they were going there to collect intel on the mercenary groups bred by the four behemoth families. Their profiles were very clean, so they wouldn’t draw any suspicion. On the other hand, they would start to cultivate their own mercenary force, and Xu Cheng will be here making money to support them.
“Go on, be careful. Don’t die before I even get there,” Xu Cheng softly said to those two at the door. “Take the first batch of funds I prepared for you guys, go there and spend it as you see fit.”
Luo Yi and Li Wei nodded and turned around to leave.
Lin Dong looked at his teacher and curiously asked, “Teacher, what about me?”
Xu Cheng looked at him and asked, “Where do you want to go? Do you know where they are going? The Land of Mercenaries. If you go, you will only die!”
“Then what should I do? Can you arrange something for me?” Lin Dong couldn’t wait to get some action too.
Looking at how excited he was, he went back to bed and said, “Do you know how to clean? Or how to count money?”
Lin Dong bitterly smiled. “Teacher, give me a chance to prove myself.”
Xu Cheng smiled. “There will be a chance, don’t worry.”
