24 hours to save the world

The day before the charity dinner.

A speakeasy somewhere in New York.

Surrounded by dim and intoxicating lights, waiters and bartenders shuttled between booths. They talked loudly amidst the enchanting jazz piano music and the alluring aroma of wine lingering in the air, and laughed without hesitation. Indulgent, people can see the atmosphere of corruption everywhere at a glance.

"Do we have to choose this place to meet?"

When Liu Jing stepped into the bar and sat down in a booth, she complained to the man opposite.

The man was wearing a windbreaker that covered his whole body, and his whole body was huddled on the sofa. His face was haggard, his beard was unkempt, and his eyes were hazy. He looked extremely decadent and slovenly. When he saw the partner he spent all day and night with, he just raised his head and glanced at him, and then said something. He smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Actually, it doesn't matter where I go. In the United States, I don't have to worry about the intrusion of black soldiers at all. It's just that I can relax more in a bar."

Liu Jing was silent for a while and sighed: "What did the psychiatrist say?"

"It's the same story. I need to recuperate every week for at least half a year, and I have to take medicine on time during this period. But don't worry, I'm fine, but I still have nightmares every night."

Liu Jing stared at the man with pity: "Is this okay? I'm really worried that one day you will suddenly be unable to think about it..."

"I'm not that fragile yet!" the man replied decisively, "I still want to see with my own eyes the scene of human beings successfully saving the world, but I won't die so easily."

"Xue An." Liu Jing sighed, "You should let go of what happened back then. You know, it was not your fault. It was Jingxian who decided to bomb the cruise ship. The one who agreed to the bombing tactics was also the top of the organization, and it had nothing to do with you. , Why can't you get out? And in the end, most of the people on the ship were rescued by the black soldier organization. There is no need for you to carry everything on your back. It's time to let go. "

"I know, I know."

Xue An raised the wine glass in front of him and poured a sip of high-alcohol wine into his stomach.

"But this is not something I can control. From that day on, I would wake up every night with nightmares about explosions, and I would not be able to sleep the whole night after I woke up. I have been thinking about one thing, Liu Jing, what our organization Is everything done correctly?”

Liu Jing's expression became serious: "You are shaken."

Xue An smiled bitterly: "Yes, I am shaken. I have experienced countless self-tortures and mental internal conflicts, and I have begun to doubt the justice of the organization. I don't even know if I can persist... …”

"Xue An!" Liu Jing pressed her hands on Xue An's shoulders, "Stop talking anymore! I think your current state is very wrong. I want to apply to the organization to change the person in charge! Let me be in charge of tomorrow's charity dinner. ”

Xue An finally became sober when he heard the word "charity dinner".

She forced a smile and pushed Liu Jing's hand away: "I'm sorry, just think that I was just talking nonsense."

After finishing speaking, Xue An took another sip of wine, but his drunken eyes became sharp again, and even the original sloppy temperament was swept away.

Liu Jing was slightly surprised: "You..."

"You didn't expect that? I was just pretending!" Xue An said with a smile, "It is precisely because tomorrow's charity dinner is very important and there is no room for error, so I must confirm the quality and ambition of the people attending the banquet with me. Liu Jing, I saw you right, you are indeed an outstanding talent, and your performance is up to standard!"

Liu Jing was not convinced by Xue An's performance. She could see through the calm expression of Xue An, her partner for many years.

However, Liu Jing did not expose Xue An at this time. Instead, she looked at the man with a slightly distressed look and allowed him to continue to pretend to be strong.

"Let's talk about tomorrow's charity dinner." Liu Jing said, then took out a piece of information from her bag, put it on the table and slid it towards Xue An, "I have sorted out the list, including five-star attention targets. There are 3, 8 four-star, and 19 three-star..."

Xue An took the information and flipped through it a little: "The information on Sally Valencia seems to be very brief."

"Because she attaches great importance to privacy, in the past experience we have found that she rarely appears in the public eye, and as a rich man with a net worth of 2 billion US dollars, the security force around her is airtight, and it is difficult for our people to arrange it in ”

Xue An frowned: "Why would you include her as a five-star target? The less you know about the target, the more difficult the strategy will be. Can you really win her over?"

"It all depends on people." Liu Jing said, "A few days ago, she invited celebrities and models from the entertainment industry to hold a seven-day cruise on the sea. This matter rarely appeared in newspapers. This is also the latest time she has appeared in the public eye. among."

Xue An now gets a headache whenever he hears the word "cruise ship".

He rubbed his temples: "Why is Sally Valencia, who has always been low-key, suddenly so high-profile?"

Liu Jing said: "After investigation, we have found that she has plans to enter the entertainment industry in recent years and has made sufficient preparations for this. This high-profile appearance in the public eye is also related to her next big move. She is planning to acquire a film and television company. company. According to economist analysis, her net worth will soar to US$3 billion in the next two to three years after acquiring the film and television company.”

"It looks like there's no problem with your identity."

Xue An judged very calmly.

Although the United States is a vacuum zone for the Black Soldier Organization, it is not guaranteed that the Black Soldier Organization has no power in the United States, so these rats must undergo strict investigations before taking action, and can only make contact after initially confirming that there is no abnormality.

Sally Valencia's plan to enter the entertainment industry was not a hasty decision recently, but there were moves in the past few years. This woman can't be so powerful that she has been deploying for many years just to lure them into the trap, right?

"She's fine, next one."

As a member of the Morning Bell Alliance participating in the charity dinner, Xue An's first task is to review each wealthy person they are about to attract.

Sally Valencia was let go lightly.

"Oh, right."

Liu Jing suddenly seemed to remember something at this time and said to Xue An.

"The organization finally decided that our protection personnel this time is Du Fei. You should have received the notice, right?"

"That woman..." Xue An's expression suddenly became complicated. "I have received the notice, but can that woman really be trusted? You know, she was originally a member of the Black Soldier. After the organization's review, did it think she was fine? Don't you want to continue investigating?"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "Don't you know this? She was forced to inject the secondary Black Soldier potion from the beginning, and more importantly, she was forced to join the Black Soldier Organization. After her emotional blockage was lifted, she was no different from ordinary people except for her stronger physical fitness. And after persuasion, she also successfully joined our organization. The organization also wants to see her ability this time."

"Will it really not mess up..." Xue An muttered, but did not continue to object.

To be honest, he actually didn't believe that woman a little.

After the cruise ship exploded that day, their team found Du Fei during the evacuation process, and after a battle, they successfully captured the other party.

According to their past experience, captured black soldiers usually commit suicide in a resolute manner to prevent leaking intelligence, but Du Fei did not do that. She was captured honestly, and then after they helped her to remove her emotional blockage, she poured out all the causes and consequences of what happened to her like pouring beans.

The organization temporarily imprisoned her.

Later, after observation, probing, and talking, and even letting Du Fei do several tasks, the organization finally confirmed that Du Fei was a high-quality talent and incorporated her into the armed forces. Through experiments, the secondary black soldier potion remaining in her body was extracted and a potion that could improve human quality was produced.

So far, the organization has 80% trust in her.

But Xue An always felt a little uneasy.

Can this woman really stand with them?
