My beautiful CEO wife

The next day.

In order not to disturb Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran, Xiao Zheng got up early and headed to the headquarters of Sky Net.

To his surprise, even though it was just after 5 a.m., no one at Sky Net’s headquarters was resting. Everywhere, people could be seen patrolling, and gatherings were continuously taking place.

Clearly, Long Qie’s mobilization was very successful, as everyone in Sky Net was prepared for war.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Zheng felt very satisfied.

After warmly greeting everyone, he went to Long Qie’s office.

Long Qie hadn’t rested all night either, but he was in good spirits, seemingly extremely excited, as if he wasn’t worried about the upcoming war at all.

He looked like a fervent warmonger, eagerly anticipating the upcoming battle.

After seeing Xiao Zheng arrive, Long Qie put down the intelligence in his hand: "Mr. Xiao, why are you here so early? You are our main combat force; you should rest more to conserve energy."

Hearing his words, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Don’t joke with me here, I’m not an old man. Even if I don’t rest for ten days or half a month, it doesn’t matter to me."

"Tell me, how are things outside now?"

Long Qie also smiled and then said seriously: "Mr. Xiao, you would never guess that in just one night, the situation outside has undergone a tremendous change!"

"Oh? What exactly has changed?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked.

His curiosity was successfully piqued by Long Qie’s words.

Long Qie said, "Just last night, the Ancient Clan and the Holy Spirit Church chose to retreat and avoid the battle! They abandoned all the territories they had seized and went into hiding!"

After saying this, his eyes couldn’t help but look at Xiao Zheng, as if he wanted to see a shocked expression on his face.

However, to Long Qie’s surprise, Xiao Zheng’s expression remained very calm after hearing his words, not seeming to be faked. It was as if he had known about it all along.

Xiao Zheng’s demeanor somewhat dampened Long Qie’s enthusiasm: "Mr. Xiao, aren’t you shocked by this news at all?"

"Why should I be surprised?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.

Long Qie suddenly became a bit puzzled and said, "The Ancient Clan and the Holy Spirit Church retreating is an unusual choice; isn’t it shocking?"

"Haha, if you’re surprised by this, it just shows your perception isn’t sharp enough." After laughing, Xiao Zheng said, "In fact, I already anticipated this scene the day before yesterday."

"Because whether it’s Elmer, Li Yue, or Jiang Fan, they’re no match for me. Knowing I would take action against them, they would naturally restrain their subordinates and have everyone hide temporarily."

"Temporarily?" Long Qie keenly caught these two words in his speech.

Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Exactly, temporarily. From this matter, we can also deduce that my previous inference is likely true. The Ancient Clan might indeed send reinforcements."

"Because if the Ancient Clan couldn’t send reinforcements, with their arrogant nature, knowing it was a dead-end, they would have rallied the three forces to fight me."

"But they didn’t do that, instead choosing to retreat. Only my earlier inference can reasonably explain their unusual behavior."

After hearing his analysis, Long Qie felt it made a lot of sense, and then he said with a grim expression: "The Ancients are truly scheming, but fortunately, Mr. Xiao, you saw through their plot in advance. Otherwise, we might have fallen into their trap!"

"It’s nothing, at this point, they have no other choice but to wait for reinforcements," Xiao Zheng said. "By the way, how is the intelligence gathered by Evil Eyes organized?"

Long Qie said, "It’s all sorted out. Although we still haven’t found the hideouts of Li Yue and Jiang Fan, we’ve basically locked down the identities and locations of other members of the Holy Spirit Church."

"If we start now, I’m confident that it would take no more than two days to destroy the Holy Spirit Church!"

"We still need to find Li Yue and Jiang Fan. Aside from the members of the Ancient Clan, the others are just cannon fodder," Xiao Zheng said. "Send this message to Evil Eyes and remind everyone that we’ll begin this afternoon."

"Alright, I understand," Long Qie nodded.

Xiao Zheng also nodded, then turned around and left his office.

As time passed quietly, it soon reached the time to head out.

At this moment, everyone at the headquarters had gathered in an open space, including Titan and Evil Eyes, who were among the ranks. Xiao Zheng slowly walked out of the headquarters and stopped just under a meter away from the crowd.

Xiao Zheng’s gaze slowly swept over the people in front of him.

Among them were many familiar faces and some new faces he hadn’t seen much before. Everyone’s expressions were different, with some excited and others tense...

Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and then said, "Everyone should already know the mission for this action, so I won’t waste any more words here. Rest assured, as long as you fight bravely, Sky Net will not treat any brother poorly."

Upon hearing his words, the crowd erupted into cheers.

Clearly, Xiao Zheng held a high regard in the hearts of everyone in Sky Net.

"Alright, let’s not waste any more time, let’s set off immediately!"

Xiao Zheng’s eyes sharpened, and he said loudly.

Everyone roared in unison, and then they followed their respective captains to commence the operation.

Because there were many places to go in this operation, Long Qie and others took on the role of captains. As for Xiao Zheng himself, he acted alone, being the highest-ranked among them and having the fastest action speed.

In this operation, his main task was to control the overall situation.

To put it simply, Xiao Zheng was like a brick, ready to be moved wherever needed. As long as there were many members of the Ancient Clan or strong opponents, his presence was guaranteed.

In this battle, Sky Net will not retreat!
