Moreover, this hiring task made Lu Ting very aware that knowing too much about the contents of this storage card would be of no benefit to him.
Lu Ting wouldn't do anything to get himself into trouble besides completing the hiring task.
Upon hearing Lu Ting's words, Chen Yaoguang held the storage card in her hand and couldn't help but glance at him.
Honestly, even if Lu Ting hadn't mentioned it, she would have thoroughly inspected the contents of the storage card. After all, the impression this young man left on Chen Yaoguang was extremely unfavorable!
Who knows if he might pull off a double-deal!
Thinking of this, Chen Yaoguang immediately took out her laptop from her backpack and quickly performed a preliminary inspection after inserting the storage card.
Snap!
After confirming that there were no issues with the initial check of its contents, Chen Yaoguang closed her laptop and looked across at Lu Ting with a gaze that had turned serious and vigilant.
Following this, Chen Yaoguang spoke with a slightly warning tone, "Mr. Lu, I believe you're a smart person. The contents of this storage card involve our country's official law enforcement. I hope you won't do anything that could cause us trouble in the future."
And how could Lu Ting not understand the meaning behind her words? Even so, he didn't show much seriousness on his face. Instead, he shrugged casually and replied, "Don't worry, Miss Chen. You don't need to threaten me. I've got what I wanted, and as for the matters between you all, I'm not interested in the slightest."
With that said,
Lu Ting then stood up from his chair and bid farewell, "Now that you've got the goods, our hiring mission is also concluded. I hope you can transfer the money to me as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yaoguang packed up her laptop and the storage card into her backpack, watching Lu Ting as she said, "Mr. Lu, there's no need to rush. We're not ones to go back on our word, you will receive your money within ten minutes."
"That's fine."
"Alright, I have things to attend to, so I won't see you off, Miss Chen."
After saying this last sentence to Chen Yaoguang, Lu Ting turned and headed towards the exit of the restaurant, preparing to leave.
As Chen Yaoguang watched Lu Ting leave without any hesitation, a brief moment of astonishment crossed her face. This guy really had no manners at all. Is this the typical behavior of mercenaries?
But it didn't matter. The most important thing was already in hand. Next, she needed to hurry and catch the next flight back home!
With that in mind, Chen Yaoguang lifted her backpack and put her sunglasses back on, then got up to leave the restaurant.
On the other side,
At the same moment Lu Ting walked out of the restaurant, a notification sound that he hadn't heard in a long time rang in his mind.
[Ding]
Upon hearing this notification sound, Lu Ting's previously calm face suddenly lit up with joy.
Clearly, after his employment relationship with Chinese International Criminal Police ended, the system also determined the completion of this mission.
Sure enough,
The next moment, Lu Ting, who was hastening towards his SUV, felt a sudden flash before his eyes as the notification sound rang out. Immediately after, a system task panel appeared, visible only to him.
[Ultimate Mercenary System]
[Host: Lu Ting]
[Task: Deliver the entrusted items to the Chinese International Police. (Completed)]
[Reward: Being settled.]
Seeing the system task panel indicating that reward settlement had begun, Lu Ting, who had just sat in the driver's seat of his car, showed even more excitement and exhilaration on his face! After all, this hiring task with the Chinese International Criminal Police was unprecedented in terms of both difficulty and danger!
Presumably, judging by these two points, the reward given by the system would also be unprecedentedly generous, right?!
Of course, this was just Lu Ting's personal speculation; the actual situation would depend on the system's judgment.
Seemingly understanding Lu Ting's impatience at this moment, the Ultimate Mercenary System didn't make him wait long. Soon, it displayed the reward for completing this hiring task!
[Task settlement completed!]
[Rewards obtained: Special Forces Summon Card*1
(Note: After using the Special Forces Summon Card, the host can randomly summon a fully loyal Special Forces team to fight for themselves!)
Time Limit: None]
Hiss——!!
When Lu Ting clearly saw the reward for this hiring task, he, sitting in the driver's seat of the car, was shocked to the core, almost gasping for cold air!
He hadn't expected that the reward this time would be a Special Forces Summon Card! You see, besides being short of money, Lu Ting currently lacked a group of comrades-in-arms to fight alongside him! Ever since his private military company fell into disrepute, Lu Ting had been alone for a long time.
Actually, he didn't mind recruiting other mercenaries. The main reasons were that he lacked money, there were no hiring tasks to execute, and the other mercenaries simply looked down on his company.
Now, the Special Forces Summon Card awarded by the system was undoubtedly a timely benefit for Lu Ting!
Moreover, what Lu Ting valued most was the system note mentioning that once summoned, this Special Forces team would be 100% loyal to him! Even if his private military group continued to decline or even went bankrupt in the future, they would never entertain any thoughts of betrayal towards him!
Come to think of it, isn't this like having a squad of loyal soldiers? Snow on top of snow!
No!
Not snow on top of snow!
This is like having a hotpot feast in the snow!
The more he thought about it, the more excited Lu Ting's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't stop smiling on his face.
Indeed.
The more difficult the task, the more dangerous the process, the more generous the rewards obtained from the system in the end!
How does that saying go again?
"Seeking wealth and honor amidst danger!"
"haha!"
"Let's head home first!"
After restraining his extremely excited mood, Lu Ting ignited the SUV under him and sped towards his estate base!
Obviously, he was now eager to use this Special Forces Summon Card to summon his own Special Forces member!
Soon after,
With a beautiful drift and a lot of yellow sand and dust raised along the way, Lu Ting smoothly parked at the back gate of his estate base.
On the way back just now, his bank account had received a transfer of exactly five million dollars from the Chinese International Criminal Police, not a penny less!
But for Lu Ting at the moment, the Special Forces Summon Card rewarded by the system was even more attractive!
