Currently, Swallowtail's menstrual cycle was becoming increasingly irregular; sometimes it would last an entire month, while at other times it wouldn't come for two or three months. This was a highly chaotic situation.

This naturally caused panic in Swallowtail, who then proactively applied to her superiors to be transferred from the frontlines, as she genuinely feared that if things continued like this, she would completely lose her womanhood.

Recently, Swallowtail had been trying to regulate her body, but after years of accumulating illnesses, they were deeply entrenched. It was difficult for traditional Chinese medicine alone to make a significant impact, let alone cure them entirely.

Wang Zheng sized up Swallowtail and said, "Didn't I say before that I'd prescribe some herbs to help regulate your body"

Swallowtail replied with an annoyed tone: "You did mention it, but after saying so, you disappeared without a trace."

"I've been rather busy recently. You know the situation—being折騰來折騰去 by State Security and not getting paid. Can you blame me" Wang Zheng wiped his nose and said bashfully.

"Indeed, it's quite a difficult situation." Swallowtail chuckled softly; spending time with Wang Zheng always made her feel happy, and she enjoyed the moments they spent together.

"Then when are you going to give me that prescription" asked Swallowtail with a smile. "I actually have my doubts about your Barefoot Doctor's skills."

"Not only will I write out a prescription for you, but it also needs to be accompanied by acupuncture treatment," said Wang Zheng as he touched his nose and continued: "From what I see, your condition is quite serious. It shouldn't be delayed any further. If you have the time tonight, I'll give you a few needles."

Wang Zheng didn't deceive Swallow. Given his level of expertise from reading old man Wang Fanghe's collection of gynecological medical books back in the day, he could clearly tell that Swallow was already in a very "disharmonious" state. If it continued like this, it would indeed lead to infertility.

"It depends on you; if you have time tonight, then I do." Upon hearing Wang Zheng's words, Swallow couldn't help but reveal a faint smile. In fact, considering their relationship, they could hardly be described as close friends. They had barely exchanged more than a few sentences outside of missions, yet she found herself enjoying the natural familiarity between them.

"By the way, I should brief you on this mission."

Swallow made an effort to appear relaxed and casual before Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "As expected, it's still about a mission. What nonsense about giving me another chance to return west—pure rubbish from He Yan."

Swallow smiled lightly and replied, "This matter is related to Chen Anshi."

"Chen Anshi What’s going on" Wang Zheng frowned slightly.

"Previously, Chen Anshi's son Chen Maidong mysteriously went missing. Later, we found out that he had been kidnapped."

Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Who did the kidnapping"

The kidnapper of Chen Maidong was initially estimated to be the same person who fired a rocket launcher at you.

"Dark Military School What a bunch of animals!" Wang Zheng said angrily. "What do they want with Chen Maidong Are they planning to target Anshi Group next Do these guys really think they can enter Southern Jiang"

"It's not clear yet." While driving, Swallow said, "After the kidnapping incident, Chen Anshi didn't act on his own but secretly contacted the local police. The high-ranking officials of the local police naturally wouldn’t take it lightly and immediately informed us."

"Tell me more details."

"For many years, Chen Anshi has had the habit of storing gold. Of course, this could also be one of his hobbies. In his safety deposit box, there is over three tons of gold, worth about a billion yuan."

"Rich people have their own strange interests, but I like it too," Wang Zheng’s words made Swallow want to roll her eyes: "Could the Dark Military School be after this batch of gold"

"Yes. They not only want this batch of gold, they also demand that Chen Anshi deliver this gold by ship to a designated port in South America before releasing him."

"A billion yuan is no small amount for the Dark Military School. Being able to extort such an amount can be considered worthwhile," Wang Zheng said with narrowed eyes: "They are quite convenient in their robbery tactics; delivering the person to a designated port in South America almost amounts to their home base. Even if China’s strength is formidable, it would still be out of reach."

However, at this point, Wang Zheng seemed to think of something and suddenly said, "There's one thing I don't understand."

"What don’t you understand" Swallow asked.

"Since they have already approached Chen Anshi, they must know that his assets are not just these three tons of gold. The entire Anshi Group holds a very high trade share in Nanjiang and can be said to earn millions daily. This Dark Military School has managed to extort such an amount好不容易敲詐到一筆,怎麼隻要了十億黃金?雖然這數目也不少了,但還不至於讓陳安石傷筋動骨。”

雨燕搖了搖頭,她也冇搞明白這個問題:“或許他們是擔心一旦敲詐的數量太多,陳安石會狗急跳牆,直接不和他們合作了。”

"Chen Anshi’s assets extend beyond just three tons of gold. His entire Anshi Group holds a significant trade share in Nanjiang, earning millions daily. Even though this Dark Military School has managed to extort such an amount, why do they only demand one billion yuan Although it's not a small sum, it shouldn’t be enough to cripple Chen Anshi."

Swallow shook her head; she didn't understand the reason either: "Perhaps they are worried that if the ransom is too high, Chen Anshi might become desperate and refuse to cooperate with them."

"It's also possible that the Dark Military School wants Chen Anshi to become their subordinate, providing them with money year after year." Wang Zheng knocked on the car window and said, "Does He Yan mean for me to accompany Chen Anshi in delivering the gold to South America"

“Yes.”

"Damn it, doesn't this guy know how dangerous that would be" Wang Zheng was at a loss for words: "This is gold! If I carry so many gold bars on the sea for ten days, isn’t that like openly telling others to come and rob me The pirates must have already caught wind of this!"

Rainbow smiled softly, saying, "Those pirates could never be your match."

"But I don't want to clash with those pirates either," Wang Zheng said gloomily. "And that place is the Dark Military School's stronghold. If I go there, won’t it just be a case of a lamb entering a tiger’s den Every time He Yan uses me, he always talks about it as if it’s nothing, but hasn't every mission put my life on the line Not to mention this South America trip where I almost got buried alive."

Wang Zheng continued complaining incessantly, with quite a nagging old lady's style.

"Don’t complain anymore," said Rainbow. "The National Security Council will send someone to accompany you; you’re not fighting alone."

"That little brat He Yan, if anything happens to me, I won't rest in peace as a ghost and won't let him off the hook," Wang Zheng clenched his fists tightly, his teeth grinding together.

"Chen Anshi has already packaged all of his gold bars. Using mortar, he remade them into brick shapes; from the outside, they look no different from ordinary bricks, but are heavier."

Chen Anshi was quite clear on this point. He knew that once he entered South America, it would be like a lamb entering a tiger’s den. Although he could control everything in China, over there, he wouldn’t even understand the language, hence his only option was to seek help from the Chinese government at great risk.uch time trying to look cool earlier on, it was clearly too late for him to catch up now.If delayed by just one second, Wang Zheng might end up like Xie Ping'an—nothing left of his body!Katie didn't m...
