Volume 4: Biochemical Attack Chapter 670 Engagement Ring
When Li Jiu returned to the Night Rose Base, it was already around three o'clock in the afternoon.
When he got back, he went straight to Donna and explained the situation to her.
Coincidentally, Donna had nothing to do during this period and was just waiting for the mission sent by the Alliance to the eastern province.
Therefore, he readily agreed to Li Jiu's request, and went with him on the hovercraft to visit the one-star mercenary groups in the fifth district one by one.
…
Time passed quickly and it was late at night, and a bright moon hung in the sky.
A white hovercraft, flashing blue fluorescence, sped along the suburban highway, heading straight for the Night Rose Base.
The people sitting in the car were Li Jiu and Donna.
At this time, although the two looked a little tired, they also had a bit of joy on their faces.
This time, Donna helped Li Jiu seek cooperation from other one-star mercenary groups, and it went very smoothly.
Together, the two of them visited six one-star mercenary groups. These were all the mercenary groups that Donna had cooperated with in the past, and they were also the mercenary groups that Donna believed had the most hope of cooperating with Li Jiu.
As a result, four of them were willing to cooperate with Li Jiu's Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group.
As for the other two, they were in the process of becoming two-star mercenary groups and needed to complete a large number of high-difficulty tasks to accumulate combat records. Therefore, it would be unlikely for them to do C-level difficulty tasks in the future, so they politely rejected Li Jiu.
However, it was enough that the four mercenary groups were willing to cooperate with Li Jiu.
I believe that after reaching a cooperative relationship with them, the remaining six teams in the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group will be able to carry out their missions soon.
"Captain, thank you very much this time." Li Jiu said to Donna with a smile while driving.
In order to help him find a partner, Donna was busy all night and didn't even have time to eat. Li Jiu was indeed very grateful.
"Nothing, just a small matter." Donna shook her head and smiled. "In fact, I was just following you to run errands. If you hadn't led the Fifth Team to win the city championship, I'm afraid that even if I followed you today, those mercenary groups might not be willing to cooperate with you."
Li Jiu smiled indifferently and nodded slightly. He understood what Donna meant.
The reason why the four one-star mercenary groups agreed to cooperate this time was mainly because Li Jiu brought out a team of warriors. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to agree to cooperate with the Leibao Mercenary Group, which had just been established.
You know, in the alliance, the prerequisite for the various mercenary groups to establish cooperative relationships is that their strength and status must be similar to each other!
In fact, every mercenary group wants to find a strong partner, and no one is willing to cooperate with a mercenary group that is too weak.
Those four mercenary groups cooperated with the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group, and in fact they all suffered some losses.
After all, the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group is made up of new recruits, so they are likely to be held back in future cooperative missions.
However, Li Jiu led a team of warriors, which made the four mercenary groups look up to the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group he founded.
Even if they suffered a small loss, they were willing to cooperate with Li Jiu.
Because, since Li Jiu was able to lead a team of warriors, it showed that his ability to lead troops was absolutely extraordinary. As long as he managed the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group carefully in the future, the development and growth of the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group would be just around the corner.
Moreover, if Li Jiu could subsequently win the provincial championship, his Leibao Mercenary Group would surely become famous and become a much-anticipated mercenary group in Zhongzhou Province, and gain . And those mercenary groups that had once cooperated with Li Jiu would naturally be able to get some benefits as well.
Therefore, the four mercenary groups' agreement to cooperate with Li Jiu can be considered an investment.
"By the way, Li Jiu..." Donna suddenly said hesitantly while the car was driving.
"What's wrong, Captain?" Li Jiu was slightly stunned, glanced at Donna who was lowering her head beside him, and asked curiously.
"I, I... I have something to give you." Donna said hesitantly, looking a little embarrassed, and even a hint of shy blush appeared on her fair cheeks, but it was covered up by the blue fluorescent light in the car and was not easy to notice.
"Something?" Li Jiu was a little surprised. "Captain, what is it?"
"It's this..." Donna lowered her head even lower, and stretched out her white and tender hand, quickly reaching into the towering chest and pulling out an object...
Li Jiu couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Donna suddenly reaching inside her clothes.
Damn, what is going on?
The leader wouldn't want to take off the bra and give it to himself...
Fortunately, when Li Jiu saw Donna's hand reaching , she didn't pull out the bra...
"Look, this is it..." Donna placed her clenched jade hand in front of Li Jiu, but looked aside and said.
Seeing this scene, Li Jiu was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help showing a curious look, staring at Donna's little hand.
Captain, what happened today?
In Li Jiu's memory, Donna has always been a calm and strong woman. It seems that except for the time when she asked him to help her solve her engagement problem, he has never seen her show such a shy expression.
And what was she holding in her hand? She was hiding it close to her chest...
The next moment, as Donna slowly opened her palm, Li Jiu finally saw clearly the object held in her palm.
ring?
It turned out to be a round ring that sparkled with silver light!
Moreover, judging from the shape and material of this ring, it seems to be of considerable value.
"Captain, what are you doing..." Li Jiu asked, looking at Donna's profile with a puzzled look on his face.
"This is my engagement ring. I originally intended to give it to my fiancé..." Donna said timidly, "You should know that there are less than two months left before I challenge that person."
"When the time comes, if you want to challenge him, you must go as my fiancé, otherwise he won't acknowledge you. And this ring is your proof of identity, so I hope you can wear it when the time comes."
"Also, if you don't mind, I hope you will wear it from now on... because from the current situation, it seems that my father and the Shangguan family have no intention of stopping this agreement between him and me. But I am worried that during this period of time, the Tang family and the Shangguan family may be secretly collecting evidence that you are not my fiancé. If they really have some evidence, they can still stop this agreement at that time. But if you wear this ring, they will never be able to deny your identity." Donna mustered up the courage and finished it in one breath.
After listening to this, Li Jiu looked at the exquisite ring on Donna's palm, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Engagement rings...neither I nor Kaqi are wearing them yet.
When I had agreed to Donna's request that I challenge the major general as her fiancé, I had thought it was just a casual remark and did not take it to heart.
But I didn't expect that Donna actually got me an engagement ring...
If I wear Donna's ring, would I feel a little sorry for Kaqi?
"That shouldn't be the case..." Li Jiu muttered in his heart, "After all, this is just a formality. It's not like they're really asking me to be Donna's fiancé..."
Thinking of this, Li Jiu couldn't help but smile: "Okay, Captain, I'll put it on now."
While speaking, Li Jiu directly picked up the engagement ring from Donna's palm.
In the process, he inevitably touched Donna's delicate palm...
Suddenly, an indescribable strange feeling surged in the hearts of both of them.
"So soft... I didn't expect the captain's hands to be so smooth and delicate..." Li Jiu said inwardly, with an embarrassed expression on his face, and subconsciously looked at Donna's face.
When Donna was touched by Li Jiu, she felt as if she had received an electric shock. She felt a tingling current flowing along her palm and into her heart. She also looked up at Li Jiu involuntarily...
For a moment, their eyes met, and there was a faint spark in their gazes...
The next moment, both of them were suddenly shocked, and they quickly withdrew their gazes and turned their heads away.
The atmosphere in the car immediately became a little ambiguous.
"Ahem... Captain, don't worry. Since I have already promised you about this matter, I will definitely help you to the end..." After a moment, Li Jiu coughed lightly with a little embarrassment.
As he spoke, Li Jiu put the ring that carried Donna's body temperature on the ring finger of his left hand.
"Hmm..." Donna supported her chin with her arm, turned her head to look at the intoxicating night view outside the car window, and responded in a low voice as soft as a mosquito.
Then, the two of them drove quickly to the Night Rose Base in this awkward and ambiguous atmosphere.
…
After sending Donna back to the Night Rose Base, Li Jiu did not stop and immediately drove to the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group.
Because his top priority now is to solve the problem of Du Yu as soon as possible.
And Joseph, who is guarding Xingtian City, may report the situation to him at any time.
Therefore, it would be best for him to stay in the Leibao Mercenary Group. Once he received the news, he could immediately take his mercenary group's transport plane to Xingtian City.
After returning to the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group base, Li Jiu moved into the luxurious main building that Doug and his men had reserved for him.
In the following period of time, he planned to practice his special abilities while waiting for news from Joseph.
…
Two days later, in a hotel opposite the Flying Tigers Special Operations Battalion in Xingtian City, the blue-blooded man Joseph was holding a pair of binoculars, closely monitoring the situation at the gate of the Flying Tigers Special Operations Battalion base.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a black car flew out from the gate of the Flying Tiger Special Operations Battalion base.
Seeing this scene, Joseph was suddenly alert and looked at it carefully.
After two days of surveillance here, he already knew that this black flying car was not a special flying car of the Flying Tiger Special Operations Battalion, but just an ordinary civilian flying car!
Therefore, the person in this car may be the target the owner is looking for and is worth careful observation.
"Hmph! I finally waited for you!" After just looking for a moment, Joseph put down the telescope and said coldly.
