The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me
Chapter 456 Taking advantage of the situation
The soaking wet and miserable state he had imagined did not appear. This was because they were wearing diving combat suits, which were extremely waterproof, especially the military ones, which wrapped the body tightly.
A gleam of light flashed in Mr. Xu's eyes, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. He sincerely admired the other party's emergency response ability.
"How clever! They simply played along with us, so we couldn't see their true colors. Even if we offered dry clothes, they would say they had to go back later and continue negotiating in their wetsuits."
"We were indeed careless about this, which gave the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of, and they cleverly seized this opportunity."
"And did you notice that they hid very well the entire time? From entering the sea to the moment before surfacing, the entire process was not captured by the warship's monitoring system. This strength should not be underestimated!"
Wang Bo was ashamed after hearing this. He had just proposed this plan, and he wanted to give the other party a warning. Xu Lao and others also acquiesced to his decision.
Unexpectedly, the other party took advantage of the opportunity.
"Damn it, it's all my fault! I shouldn't have made this suggestion!" He blamed himself so much that he slapped himself hard in anger, and his eyes turned slightly red.
It was all his fault. He was too impulsive and irrational, and ended up hurting himself.
Seeing this, Mr. Xu calmly said, "Don't think like that. Even if you don't mention it, the other side will try their best to cover up their true colors. Don't worry, everything is under our control."
"They're coming over soon. Don't overthink it. Get yourself together quickly. Don't reveal any flaws later. We still have a lot of things to do!"
Xu Lao's words successfully calmed Wang Bo down. He didn't dare to think about it anymore, wiped his face quickly, stood behind Xu Guo, and tried to calm himself down.
Xu Guo didn't say much, just patted him on the shoulder gently, silently expressing his comfort.
On the deck, after the two men came ashore, the soldier in charge signaled Tanaka and Nakamura to put their weapons in the box next to them and lock it.
Then the soldier took the detector and scanned both of them carefully from head to toe.
After confirming that everything was correct, he led them to the reception room.
At the same time, on the warship where Mr. Tao was, 8,000 meters away, snipers had already aimed in this direction. Their crosshairs were fixed on the two men, one on the left and one on the right.
If they make any rash moves, they will be shot immediately!
This was the response measure that Mr. Xu, Mr. Tao and others had discussed in advance.
The moment Captain Tanaka stepped into the warship's reception room, his eyes met Mr. Xu's.
His whole body froze instantly, his pupils beneath the dark lenses shrank suddenly, and he entered a state of high alert.
However, this state only lasted for a few seconds. He quickly returned to normal, pretended to sit down as if nothing had happened, and introduced himself in the common language: "I am Tony, the captain of the West Asian Elite Team, and the person next to me is Lenny, the deputy captain."
Captain Tanaka was talking nonsense in a serious tone. He had just made up the name on the way here, but he spoke it as if it were true.
When Wang Bo heard the name, he couldn't help but curl his lips.
Tony? He thought the captain was a barber! This is too funny!
Of course, he didn't know that the word "Tony" had been played around with on the Internet in Yan Country.
Thinking of this, Wang Bo couldn't help laughing.
"Ha ha!"
Captain Tanaka was confused and looked up at Wang Bo, not understanding what he was laughing at. Tony was a very common name, so it shouldn't reveal anything...
Of course, he didn't know the real name of the captain of the West Asian elite team. However, people of their status generally wouldn't reveal their real names. Every time they carried out a mission, they might have a new name or code name.
Therefore, he felt that it didn't matter if he was talking nonsense, because the other party would not be able to point it out directly anyway.
However, Wang Bo's inexplicable laughter made him feel a little uneasy. Shouldn't it have revealed anything? It's only been a few minutes...
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming awkward, Xu Guo quickly explained, "In Yan Country, Tony usually refers to a barber. There are many related jokes on the Internet, so he couldn't help laughing. Sorry."
"Of course, I guess Tony and Lenny are not your real names, right? Don't mind, I just think these two names don't quite fit your temperament."
Xu Guo said this seemingly casually. In fact, he didn't know the real names of the captain and vice-captain of the West Asian country's elite team. He said this just to test the other party and see how they would react.
As for the name not matching the temperament, that was all Wang Bo's nonsense. Tanaka and Nakamura were almost fully armed, from head to toe, wearing tight black diving suits. How could they have any temperament?
Captain Tanaka responded with a fake smile: "Haha, you are really smart. These are indeed not our real names. However, our elite team has a special identity, so we have a new name every time we go on a mission. Now, we are called Tony and Lenny. These are not fake names, right?"
While he was saying these words, his eyes kept glancing in the direction of Xu Cheng. He felt that this person should be a big shot of Yan Country, and he felt a sense of déjà vu, which made him feel a little uneasy.
"Could it really be the big shot I guessed? But he shouldn't be here... How is it possible..."
Although Captain Tanaka's actions seemed covert, they were clearly seen by Mr. Xu who had been keeping a close eye on him. However, Mr. Xu pretended not to notice the gaze and let Tanaka look at him.
In fact, Mr. Xu had already determined Tanaka's identity a few minutes ago. He recognized him at first sight. They had met once before. Although Tanaka was wearing a diving suit, his height, figure and the feeling he gave people did not change. Mr. Xu's memory was amazing. For ordinary people, the older they get, the worse their memory may be. But for those who have received special training, it is just the opposite.
Although they had only met briefly, Mr. Xu quickly compared Captain Tanaka with the person in his memory and confirmed his identity.
He guessed that Tanaka was also suspicious of his identity, so he took the initiative to introduce himself: "I am Xu Cheng, and next to me are Wang Bo and Xu Guo."
Captain Tanaka was shocked when he heard the name. He didn't expect it was Xu Cheng! This is the commander-in-chief of the Yan Kingdom's army! How could he appear in this sea area? This is simply a coincidence among coincidences!
His covered face was full of shock, panic and lingering fear. If it weren't for the mask, he would have been exposed long ago.
Even under the close gaze of Mr. Xu, he felt the hairs on his body stand up, and he even wanted to get up and leave this place immediately.
A voice deep in his heart warned him: Danger! You must have been exposed! Xu Cheng must have recognized you!
Although Mr. Xu simply introduced his name, Vice Captain Nakamura also felt tremendous pressure and couldn't help but exclaimed.
That’s right! They all knew the name Xu Cheng! He was almost a big shot at the top of the Yan government! How could they not know him?
However, panic ensued. In front of Mr. Xu, they always felt that they had nowhere to hide, and they might have been recognized by him a long time ago.
The reason why Tanaka and Nakamura agreed to pretend to be West Asians to negotiate was because they had never considered that there would be a big shot like Mr. Xu on this warship.

If they knew Xu Cheng would appear here, they probably wouldn't agree to this plan so easily.
You know, if it were just Wang Bo and Xu Guo next to him, Captain Tanaka would still be very confident that he could conceal the truth.
However, under Xu Cheng's hawk-like sharp gaze, Tanaka and Nakamura felt frightened and began to back down.
They always felt that they were courting death, especially showing off their skills in front of Xu Cheng. However, it had come to this point, and they could only bite the bullet and continue to act, and they must not reveal any flaws.
As long as Xu Cheng does not have solid evidence in his hands, he cannot conclude or speculate on their true identities out of thin air.
"You seem a little surprised to see me. Have we met somewhere before?" Old Xu spoke slowly with sharp eyes, trying to catch a hint of flaw from the other party's reaction.
"How about this, you take off the masks on your face and let me take a closer look. Don't you feel tired wearing them like this all the time?" His words were straightforward and to the point, catching Tanaka and Nakamura off guard and shocking them.
Wang Bo saw this and joined in the fun, saying, "That's right. You guys didn't do anything shameful. Why are you hiding it? A man should be open and aboveboard and speak his mind!"
Wang Bo's words were somewhat provocative, as if to say that if they did not take off their masks, it would be equivalent to admitting that they were not real men. This made Captain Tanaka's mouth twitch slightly, and he felt mixed emotions.
They didn't really want to do this. They had never worn masks in a meeting before, let alone dressed like this. But although Captain Tanaka was depressed, he remained calm on the surface, and people could not detect his inner fluctuations at all.
"Of course we know Commander-in-Chief Xu. You have a great reputation internationally. But we didn't expect to meet you here by chance..." Captain Tanaka began to negotiate, his words revealing a bit of respect, but also with a hint of imperceptible cunning.
"We are just a bunch of unknown people. It's our first time meeting a big shot from Yan Country. It's inevitable that we are a little excited and out of control. Please forgive us." He went on, trying to ease the atmosphere with compliments.
"Also, we have to say sorry. This mask and diving suit are one-piece. We know this is disrespectful, but we really have no choice." Captain Tanaka explained, trying to find a reasonable excuse for his outfit.
"Since neither side has suitable means of transportation and we don't want to show up here wet, we have no choice but to resort to this last resort. Please forgive me." His words were full of helplessness, as if all this was forced by the situation.
"Of course, we believe that you will understand our difficulties and will not mind these details." Captain Tanaka cleverly put a high hat on Xu and the other two, while also blocking their retreat.
His subtext is obvious: if you can provide transportation, we don't have to swim here in such a mess, and we won't be so rude. Although we know it's not good to do this, we have no choice but to do it. You should know better what's going on.
Xu Lao and the others naturally understood his implication, but they could not refute it. After all, they did give Tanaka and the others a legitimate reason to pretend. Wang Bo clenched his fists, unwilling in his heart, but he could only swallow his anger.
"In that case, we won't force it. Let's talk about business." Mr. Xu broke the silence and decided to change the subject.
"You mentioned before that you needed help, what exactly is going on? I saw your warship parked in front and motionless, is there any problem?" He went straight to the point, trying to get more information from the other party.
Captain Tanaka had already prepared his speech. He knew that these questions would be asked sooner or later, so he answered them with ease.
"Here's what happened. We originally planned to go back through the strait over there, but we received a sudden notice that passage was prohibited there. Instead of waiting there, we decided to take a detour. But who would have thought that there was a problem with navigation during the voyage, and we actually deviated from the direction and accidentally came to this sea area." He explained, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"We knew nothing about this place, and there was not even a shadow of an island around us. Moreover, not long into the sailing, we heard a loud noise, and then all the equipment on the warship failed," Captain Tanaka continued, trying to describe the predicament they were facing.
"We tried many methods, but nothing worked. Now the communication system is paralyzed, and we don't know what to do." He sighed, as if he was really in a desperate situation.
"Just when we felt desperate, we met you. I don't need to say much about what happened afterwards." Captain Tanaka changed the subject and led the topic to Mr. Xu and others.
"But how did you come to this sea area? Did you encounter the same thing as us? What a coincidence!" He asked seemingly out of curiosity, but in fact he was testing the real purpose of Mr. Xu and others.
Vice Captain Nakamura also interrupted at the right time and refuted in a firm tone: "How is it possible? Yan Country is thousands of miles away from here. No matter how far it deviates, it is impossible to get here! There must be other reasons!"
The two sang in unison, as if they were performing a double act, not giving Xu Lao and the others any chance to refuse, and directly denied their excuse for deviating from the course. (End of this chapter)
