Xu Keming solemnly accepted the document with both hands. After carefully inspecting the seal and confirming it was intact, he handed it to a trusted subordinate behind him, instructing in a low, stern voice, "Take the first squad immediately and escort this document back to headquarters. Deliver it personally to the station chief. Stay highly vigilant along the way, ensure nothing goes wrong, and do not make any stops." The subordinate acknowledged the order, turned quickly, and signaled the other Military Statistics Bureau agents. They marched briskly toward a military jeep, started the engine, and sped away like an arrow from a bow.
Once the document was safely on its way, Xu Keming turned to Leitao, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Lei, you and your men have really worked hard this time. But I will never let that slippery fish Uesugi Kazuya get away. Since he has been operating in this area so frequently, there must be hidden strongholds and support personnel we haven't discovered yet."
Leitao responded with a laugh that masked his frustration, "Don't play dumb with me. When the day comes that you catch him or completely wipe out those bandit dens we’ve been tracking, don’t forget the bounty we’re owed. It’s not that I’m greedy, but since our squad is a private organization, we have to find ways to fund our own ammunition and daily supplies for every mission. It isn't easy."
