Outside the coastal villa.
Several black high-end bulletproof cars were parked in the middle of a deserted coastal road.
Ever since Tommy emerged from the villa.
Suddenly, more than a dozen secret agents in black appeared from who knows where, following behind him.
"Right—"
Seeing that they were already about a hundred meters away from the villa.
Tommy, the old man, stopped in his tracks, knowing his conversation would no longer be overheard by Meng Hao.
"Charles, come here!"
Charles, who was respectful, immediately trotted over and stopped in front of Tommy, holding his head down.
"What do you think about this matter?"
Without a doubt.
Tommy was asking about Meng Hao's refusal to join the United States.
Charles was stunned for a moment, then made a gesture across his neck with his hand... It seemed he had misunderstood Tommy's intention.
"This Meng Hao is so ungrateful, not even giving you face. Why don't we just get rid of him?"
"After all, we can't let him return to Great Xia."
"Such a researcher, if he returns, it would be a violation of our country's national interests!"
Tommy rolled his eyes.
"Charles, I know you're from the military."
"But can you stop thinking about fighting and killing all day?"
"This is just the beginning, and you're already talking about eliminating Meng Hao?"
"I asked you for your opinion, not to tell me to get rid of Meng Hao!"
"Besides, if we make a move against Meng Hao, Great Xia will probably declare war on us... You've been guarding Meng Hao recently and haven't paid much attention to intelligence. Let me tell you, an entire fleet from Great Xia has already arrived off the coast of Australia, only about thirty to forty nautical miles away!"
What?
For Meng Hao.
The Great Xia country actually dispatched an entire fleet, approaching Australia?
"Did Australia protest... and make solemn representations?"
Charles asked instinctively.
"How could they protest?"
"The person went missing in Australia!"
"And not only are Great Xia and India very displeased with us, but even Australia has some reservations!"
After a few words, Tommy changed the subject.
"However, the United States will withstand the pressure."
"Until we have completely brought Meng Hao to the United States, you must treat him well and ensure he lacks nothing, absolutely not allowing him to be wronged."
Huh?
Meng Hao's attitude just now was extremely firm, completely showing his refusal to join the United States.
Could this Tommy have some other clever trick up his sleeve?
Seeing Charles looking bewildered.
Tommy smiled calmly.
"In Great Xia, there's a saying."
"It's called, 'Forced onto Mount Liang!'"
"Since he refuses the toast, then don't blame me for offering him a wine of punishment."
"In short, you must keep a close eye on Meng Hao, and satisfy all his conditions except for contacting the outside world and leaving..."
After finishing his words, Tommy was about to leave, but then stopped as if remembering something.
"That girl named Luna is good-looking, remember to get close to her!"
"The way she looks at Meng Hao is full of ambiguity. Perhaps she's another breakthrough to win him over!"
"You, stop thinking about fighting and killing or torture all day. Read some ancient books from Great Xia sometimes. Manipulating people's hearts is an ancient skill of Great Xia... For example, a pillow talk can be a powerful weapon!"
Watching Tommy's car drive away.
Charles pondered with a solemn expression.
...
The villa.
Meng Hao's gaze towards Luna softened considerably.
This woman.
Although he didn't know whether her refusal of Tommy's offer to "fulfill one of her requests" was genuine or for other considerations.
But at least, on the surface, she had shown an attitude of absolute protection for Meng Hao.
In fact.
Luna was a smart person.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have managed to connect with Charles without offering herself, and even obtained such a large villa under the guise of being an international student in Australia studying in the US.
She was, in fact, also taking a gamble.
If she could get close to Meng Hao.
In the future, whether Meng Hao left Australia unharmed and returned to Great Xia, or truly accepted Tommy's conditions and became the highest official governing a country.
Her future would be immeasurable.
And the best way to get close to Meng Hao.
Was to have a passionate moment with him.
In fact.
Looking closely at Meng Hao.
This boy from the East not only possessed a mysterious handsomeness but also such formidable personal abilities.
Even the highest official of the US weapons department personally visited to invite him.
This kind of boy.
Truly rare to find globally.
Such a handsome and exceptionally capable man.
Even if she gained nothing from it, just a simple night together, Luna felt she had already won big.
"My dear Meng."
"How about some red wine?"
"Charles just sent over more supplies, even this bottle of rather old red wine!"
Eating cola, fried chicken, and hamburgers every day.
Meng Hao was almost developing an aversion.
When Luna suggested drinking some red wine, Meng Hao didn't refuse.
"Yes, pour me a glass."
"Huh, Luna, are you uncomfortable?"
"Why are you walking with your legs clasped together?"
Luna's face turned red.
This damned Meng Hao.
Was he truly unfeeling, or was he deliberately teasing her?
Watching Luna walk to the kitchen to get the wine with her legs clasped.
Meng Hao looked out at the seemingly calm but undercurrent-filled ocean, feeling immense emotion.
Currently.
The US side was desperate for him to join them.
However, it was certain that he wouldn't be in mortal danger in the short term... otherwise, Charles wouldn't have brought another batch of excellent supplies.
He wondered how Great Xia was rescuing him.
And also.
Although he had only had one verbal exchange with that old fox Tommy, it was certain that this guy was someone who wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal.
Never mind.
When the car reaches the mountain, there will be a road; when the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten.
Everything will happen naturally.
"My dear Meng."
"Charles is taking good care of you."
"I looked at the supply list and actually found this."
Oh?
Meng Hao looked curiously.
It turned out to be sausages, cured meat, roast chicken, and roast duck.
Although they were vacuum-packed and the taste couldn't compare to products from Great Xia.
But under these circumstances of semi-confinement, being able to eat these was already quite good.
"Come on."
"Let's eat and drink together."
"It's just a pity there are no vegetables, these dishes are too greasy."
Luna, who had changed into a revealing bathrobe, looked delighted.
Clearly.
She believed that something would happen between Meng Hao after drinking.
It was a pity.
That her plan to use alcohol to foster affection was destined to fall through.
Back then.
When she was in Honolulu.
Zhang Xijin had had similar intentions and thoughts.
As expected.
After a glass of red wine, half a roast chicken, and a few ounces of red sausage.
Meng Hao stood up.
Wanting to open the window and feel the sea breeze.
Then in the next second.
Meng Hao, with a flushed face, collapsed on the spot.
"My dear Meng."
"Are you okay?"
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Startled, Luna quickly dropped the food in her hands and crouched in front of Meng Hao, looking concerned.
Then.
In the next second.
He heard the thunderous snores of deep sleep!
