Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Los Angeles International Airport, 12:30 PM.

After successfully retrieving the rocket data from the Power Research Institute in the morning, Eric and his team didn't stay long. They quickly changed their appearances back to normal and prepared to return home with the necessary items.

Upon entering the ticket hall, Shen Jiajun said, "Our contact at the liaison office said there's a direct flight to Beijing at 1:10 PM today. Let's buy tickets for that!"

As soon as Wu Yun heard the words "buy tickets," he immediately looked nervous. "Don't tell me I have to go buy them again?"

Although Shen Jiajun knew Wu Yun was joking, he still couldn't help but roll his eyes and say, "Alright, I'll buy them this time... Anyway, we've completed the mission over and above, so even if they're stingy, they should give me a bonus of ten or twenty thousand..."

Just as Shen Jiajun was about to walk towards the ticket counter, Eric suddenly stopped him and said, "Jianjun, just buy two tickets. I'm not in a hurry to go back."

"Eric, why don't you come back with us?" Shen Jiajun and Wu Yun both agreed with Wu Yun's suggestion, and Shen Jiajun added, "It's better to go back with us to avoid attracting the FBI. Even if you're not afraid of them, it's still troublesome, right?"

"No, I have something to do."

Thinking of his secret conversation with Sakya at Disneyland, Wu Yun suddenly realized, "Is it about those lamas?"

"Yes."

Shen Jiajun thought for a moment. "Dealing with the Shura Sect at Sakya's request must be very tricky, right?"

Eric thought for a moment and nodded.

"What is it? Can you tell us?" Shen Jiajun seemed willing to help.

Eric felt there was no need to hide it. He said directly, "I'm going to deal with the Shura Sect!"

Upon hearing this, both Shen Jiajun and Wu Yun were stunned. After a while, Wu Yun jumped and said, "Eric, do you know how powerful the Shura Sect is? I don't mean to underestimate you, but you must know that even a whole country's strength couldn't eliminate them in the past. How could you possibly deal with them alone?"

"And Sakya's Great Vehicle Dharma King lineage..."

"Eric, why do you have to deal with the Shura Sect? Just because of Sakya's request?" Shen Jiajun was puzzled by Eric's "overestimation of his own capabilities."

"No. The main reason is me. Because the Dragon Elephant King of the Shura Sect injured my fiancée!"

"Ah, so it was the Dragon Elephant King who injured your wife?... I was wondering before, what kind of internal injury would require sending her to the Medicine King Sect. So, it was the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong..."

Seeing that Wu Yun also knew about this, Shen Jiajun didn't ask any more questions and said, "I think we should stay and help you. After all, this is also in the national interest..."

"No." Eric categorically refused. "The rocket data must be sent back to the country immediately to avoid complications."

Shen Jiajun knew Eric was telling the truth and sighed helplessly.

Wu Yun glanced at Shen Jiajun and suddenly said, "Why don't I stay behind and send the data back? Jianjun can handle it alone!"

"You..." Eric shook his head and said, "This time, we may have to confront the Shura Sect head-on. Your skills are not suitable for being at the scene of the fight."

"But..."

"There's no 'but'! You must go back..." Seeing the deliberate grievance on Wu Yun's face, Eric smiled and said, "But when you get back, you won't be idle. I have something to ask of you!"

"If there's anything, just tell me..." Wu Yun stopped patting his chest halfway and suddenly asked, "Eric, are you asking me to go back and watch over your first wife, second wife, and third wife?"

Shen Jiajun, upon learning about Eric's multiple wives for the first time, was almost wide-eyed with admiration, as if he were witnessing an endless river of admiration!

"They are capable individuals, why would you need someone to watch over them?" Eric laughed, "I want you to 'acquire' a few things for me!"

Wu Yun laughed upon hearing this, patting his chest loudly, "That's my specialty! Eric, rest assured, whatever you need, I'll get it for you!"

"I need the Twelve Bronze Heads!" After a smile, Eric said seriously, "I want the two 'Bronze Rat Heads' and 'Bronze Rabbit Head' in the hands of the French!"

Wu Yun was momentarily stunned, then nodded vigorously, "Eric, rest assured, if I don't bring back those two bronze heads, I'd rather die abroad!"

"It's not that serious, just do your best!"

Shen Jiajun was also shocked by Wu Yun's determination. He patted Wu Yun on the shoulder and said, "Wu Yun, I admire your patriotism. Don't worry, I'll help you!"

Unexpectedly, Wu Yun didn't appreciate it. He rolled his eyes and said, "You don't have any professional knowledge, and you want to help me? If you don't mess things up for me, I'll be thanking the heavens..."

"Don't underestimate me! Although I don't have any thief skills, I have brains! Look, didn't this operation prove that?" Shen Jiajun retorted.

"Is that so? Forget it! If I were to plan it, I would have obtained the data without alerting anyone! Unlike you, ending up in a car chase in the end..."

"You..."

Seeing them arguing endlessly, Eric couldn't help but shake his head. "Alright, go buy the tickets quickly, the plane will be departing soon..."

After seeing off Shen Jiajun and Wu Yun, Eric took a bus back to the city alone. He casually found a café, ordered some food, and decided to turn on his phone, which he had turned off since arriving in Country A, to call Tan Ailing and the others.

Unexpectedly, before he could dial the number, the phone rang.

"Hello..."

"...Eric?"

"It's me."

"Is it connected?... It's really connected! Let me...," Tang Feiyan's voice came faintly from the phone. It seemed she had snatched the phone from Tan Ailing. Her voice became clearer, "Eric, why didn't you have your phone on... How have you been these days? How did things go? When are you coming back..."

The series of loud questions made Eric move the phone away from his ear, but he was in a good mood.

"...Feiyan, let's use speakerphone! That way, everyone can hear Eric's voice and talk to him..."

Perhaps Lin Yujie's suggestion was adopted. There was a light "pop" sound from the phone, and then Tan Ailing's voice came again, "Eric..."

This soft tone touched Eric's heart. "I'm here..."

"How are you?"

"I'm fine! I just saw off Wu Yun; his matter has been taken care of. I sent them off on the plane just now!"

"When are you coming back?"

"I've already contacted the Great Vehicle Dharma King and the others. We're planning now, and we'll start the operation in a few days. Once it's done, I'll immediately return to the Medicine King Sect to see you all, I believe it won't exceed half a month!"

"Hehe..." Tang Feiyan's voice interjected, "Eric, I'm afraid we won't be at the Medicine King Sect anymore in half a month!"

"Why?"

"That kid Wu Yun brought us something really good. After we showed it to Grandpa Cheng, he said he could shorten the treatment to ten days..."

"Great!" Eric smiled satisfactorily, then he became a little puzzled, "Although it only takes ten days to heal the internal injuries, you don't have to leave the Medicine King Sect. Just wait for me there!"

"If it weren't for the treatment, we really wouldn't want to stay here anymore!"

"Why do you say that?"

"Isn't it because of your grandfather?" Tang Feiyan's voice was full of complaints, "Ever since we found out that you left without a word, your grandfather hasn't given us a good look. Although he hasn't been rude, everyone can tell he's unhappy..."

Eric could imagine the situation. He felt a bit guilty and said, "It seems I've caused you a big trouble!"

"Hmph, the trouble you've caused us is more than just one!"
