It wasn't until the next day that Endo Okumura and others finally figured out what happened.

Not to mention their respective reactions, a eloquent announcement written in Chinese and English quickly spread throughout Fuso Country through the TV media controlled by the Endo family and the Asai family.

The announcement is quite rich in content. It starts with the international situation, then talks about the relationship between the White Eagle Federation and the Yanhuang Republic, and finally analyzes the source of the conflict between the Secret Intelligence Service and the Yanhuang Military Alliance.

Throughout the nonsense, the core purpose is very obvious, which is to invite Lin Chong to negotiate.

Of course, it can also be understood as an afternoon letter.

"...In order to prevent the contradiction from continuing to expand, affecting the cooperation between the White Eagle Federation and the Yanhuang Republic, harming innocent civilians in Fusang, and causing negative international consequences, the Secret Intelligence Service decided to take the initiative to take a step back and temporarily cease the war."

"...Since Mr. Lin Zhong is a warrior, we hereby sincerely suggest to Mr. Lin Zhong that we resolve the dispute between the two parties in a warrior's way."

"...For the Secret Intelligence Service, the door to negotiation is always open. The choice is now given to Mr. Lin Chong. I hope you can give peace a chance."

Out of thousands of words, only the above three paragraphs express the true intentions of the Secret Service.

As soon as the announcement was released, it caused a fierce response in Fuso.

Regardless of friend or foe, everyone was waiting for Lin Zhong's response.

Lin Zhong had just broken through the Secret Intelligence Agency's stronghold in Nara Prefecture on his own.

He stood in a messy hall. The surrounding walls were covered with countless bullet holes and the ground was pitted. Wherever he looked, there were traces of grenade explosions.

The entire stronghold was quiet and silent, like a tomb.

In fact, Lin Zhong did not go on a killing spree.

Except for a small number of armed personnel who were stubbornly resisting, the rest were just knocked unconscious by him.

After waiting for about half an hour, the elite warriors of the Baigui Sect who were accompanying Lin Zhong arrived belatedly.

There are ten of these elite warriors from the Hundred Ghost Sect, and their cultivation levels are all above the peak of Anjin.

Their main duties are to help Lin Zhong deliver news, handle the aftermath, interrogate prisoners, and collect information.

We can't blame them for coming too slowly, but the fact that the battle ended too quickly.

Counting from the time Lin Zhong broke into the stronghold, it took less than five minutes in total.

"Your Excellency, the Secret Intelligence Bureau has issued an announcement. The content is relevant to you. Do you want to see it?" A tall warrior from the Baigui Sect walked up to Lin Zhong and asked respectfully.

"Um."

Lin Zhong nodded slightly.

So the Hundred Ghost Sect warrior found a tablet computer, operated it on it, and handed it to Lin Zhong with both hands.

Lin Zhong glanced at it casually and finished browsing the announcement, without any change in his expression.

"Don't worry about it."

He returned the tablet to the warrior and said in a calm tone: "Continue to implement the original plan, find out all the important information and send them away, and then separate a few people and follow me to Aomori Prefecture."

"yes!"

The Hundred Ghost Sect warrior cupped his fists and saluted, and simply accepted the order.

Another half day passed.

Although Lin Zhong has enough concentration to remain unaffected by the outside world, not everyone can do this.

When he once again broke into the secret service's stronghold in Aomori County, he first received a call from Shen Yuxuan.

Shen Yuxuan had to call him because the Uesugi family had become a mess.

Led by Uesugi Hidemitsu, many core members of the Uesugi family and retainers gathered outside the courtyard where Lin Chong lived to ask for a meeting, and would not leave until they saw him.

"Sir, I'm sorry."

Shen Yuxuan's tone was full of shame: "We have not completed the task you assigned us."

"It doesn't matter."

Lin Chongxi's words are like gold: "Give Uesugi Hidemitsu the phone."

Shen Yuxuan on the other side of the phone immediately followed his words.

Immediately afterwards, Uesugi Hidemitsu's anxious voice came from the receiver, even crying: "Master Lin Zhong, please don't abandon the Uesugi family!"

"Who said I would abandon you?"

Lin Zhong frowned and said: "Don't listen to the rumors, just wait and see."

"I...we just received an ultimatum from the Secret Service. They said...they said that if you don't accept the letter of challenge, the Uesugi family will be exterminated and completely wiped out." Uesugi Hidemitsu

stammered.

Hearing this, Lin Zhong's eyes suddenly turned cold.

He seemed to have overestimated the bottom line of the Secret Service.

He was talking loud and clear, but why did he decide to make a temporary truce in order to avoid harming innocent civilians, but privately threatened him with the lives of the entire Uesugi family?

But Lin Chong could not abandon the Uesugi family.

His personality does not allow him to do that.

"I see."

In the end, Lin Zhong gave Uesugi Hidemitsu some reassurance: "Don't worry, I will solve it. You just have to wait and see what happens."

Uesugi Hidemitsu was obviously not satisfied with this answer and still wanted to continue begging, but Lin Chong simply hung up the phone.

His time is precious and cannot be wasted on meaningless matters.

However, just as Lin Zhong was directing the Baiguimen warriors to select research materials, the phone rang again.

The person who called him was Hattori Hyōgetsu.

"Lin Jun, have you seen the announcement issued by the Secret Intelligence Service?"

"I saw it."

"Please do not agree to them. The Secret Intelligence Service is full of tricks and has no credibility at all. Although the announcement says that it wants to negotiate with you, it is most likely their conspiracy!"

Hearing the concern in Hattori Hyōgetsu's words, Lin Chong felt a slight warmth in his heart.

"Don't worry, I know the Secret Service better than you. Even if they have a conspiracy, I won't be fooled."

After comforting Hattori Hyōgetsu with a few words, Lin Zhong immediately changed the subject: "Have all the researchers and materials been received?"

"Yes, we have received two batches of researchers and three batches of information so far."

Hattori Hyōgetsu reported in detail: "According to your prior instructions, the researchers were detained at Hattori's house, Momochi's house and Maeda's house. As for those materials, only I know where they are stored."

"There should be a few more batches of information delivered later. Just stay in Iga Ueno and help me take care of them. Don't go anywhere, and don't worry about anything."

Lin Zhong said solemnly: "The reason why the Secret Intelligence Bureau issued the announcement is because I gave them a painful beating. Next, we must be careful to prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry."

"Okay, Mr. Lin, I guarantee with my life that I will never let you down."

Hattori Hyōgetsu said softly: "Please take care of yourself, and don't forget that for my sister and me, your safety is more important than the whole world."

I just ended my call with Hattori Hyōgetsu, and before I put my phone down, Bi Luo called again.

"Do you agree to negotiate with the Secret Service?"

Biluo gets straight to the point.

"I should agree."

Lin Zhong also got straight to the point.

"Why?"

Bi Luo's voice sounded a little unhappy: "The initiative is in our hands, why bother with them?"

"The reason is simple. They threatened me with the Uesugi family. If I don't agree, the Uesugi family will face disaster."

"What does the life and death of the Fuso family have to do with us? Even if the Uesugi family is wiped out, will we lose even a dime?"

"Since the Uesugi family has taken refuge in me, I have to be responsible for their lives. If I ignore their lives, wouldn't I become the traitorous person I hate most?"
