My Girlfriend is a Zombie

Chapter 800 – A Sinister Move

Seeing Wang Lin humiliated, He Hongyan let out a triumphant snort.

However, she didn’t make her feelings too obvious, nor did she push her advantage further, allowing Wang Lin to glare at her angrily from the sidelines.

At this moment, her main target of resentment was still Ling Mo. Even the slight displeasure Wang Lin caused her was attributed to Ling Mo.

The more they protected him, the more annoyed He Hongyan became when looking at him.

Such a calm demeanor-wasn’t he just relying on his backing?

“Do they really think they can control me? I wonder how long you can rely on that backing…”

With these thoughts in mind, He Hongyan’s eyes had already turned to Old Zheng. Without giving Ling Mo a chance to speak, she asked, “Does the Central Region Camp have to intervene in this matter?”

Not waiting for Old Zheng to respond, she continued, “This isn’t just my personal territory; it’s also an important raw material production base for Niepan. This person just joined the headquarters, and we barely know anything about his background. Now, he’s brought a strange woman here… You probably don’t know that there are accomplices of theirs outside. They tried to divert us and, if I hadn’t seen through their plan and returned in time, who knows what these two would have done…”

“He’s colluding with outsiders with malicious intent. Whether for personal or public reasons, I should apprehend them. Mr. Zheng, don’t you agree?”

As she said this, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she allowed a faint smile to appear on her lips, casting a challenging glance at Ling Mo.

With this accusation of colluding with the enemy, people from the Central Region Camp would have to distance themselves to avoid suspicion.

Even if they knew each other, they would need to quickly disassociate themselves at this time.

And her analysis sounded reasonable even to herself.

How could he possibly refute this?

As for whether there really was this “internal-external collusion,” He Hongyan herself had doubts. The person Ling Mo was supposedly colluding with hadn’t shown up outside yet, and the woman beside him, who appeared quite timid at first glance, seemed like an ordinary person.

But as long as she insisted on accusing him of having malicious intent, Ling Mo could only struggle to defend himself.

Her points sounded plausible enough that anyone without intimate knowledge of the situation wouldn’t realize the inconsistencies. Obviously, Wang Lin and Old Zheng were out of the question. How much could Ling Mo, a newcomer, possibly grasp?

Thinking of Ling Mo’s anxious but helpless expression, He Hongyan felt a twisted sense of satisfaction.

“I didn’t originally think much of you, but you just had to get in my way. Blame your bad luck for encountering me,” she thought, staring at Ling Mo with a cold smile.

Old Zheng, on the other hand, was sweating profusely, thinking to himself how formidable she was. With just a few words, this woman had cornered those from the Central Region Camp.

She was intelligent, powerful, and yet had such a vile character. In the dim light of evening, her heavily made-up face didn’t appear beautiful, but that smile was genuinely unsettling.

They didn’t seem to know each other well, so why did it feel like she held a grudge against Ling Mo?

This woman was just too difficult to deal with…

“Well…” Old Zheng didn’t know how to respond, so he tried to placate her for now, saying, “I believe this is a misunderstanding. How about we all sit down and talk?”

He subtly signaled to Ling Mo while he spoke.

How did Ling Mo end up with Niepan? Old Zheng couldn’t figure it out.

But after hearing He Hongyan’s analysis, he started to wonder if Ling Mo might really be a “spy.” Given his close ties with Falcon, it wasn’t impossible.

Someone who could serve as the top commander at the Second Camp coming to the headquarters of Niepan as an ordinary member just didn’t add up…

“This is tricky…”

Old Zheng felt like banging his head against the wall-nothing was going right!

After hearing Old Zheng’s words, He Hongyan frowned.

Still trying to protect him? Could Ling Mo really have some kind of background?

However, no matter what, Old Zheng’s words indicated some level of compromise, suggesting that even if there were a connection, it was limited…

Ling Mo thought for a moment and then nodded, “Alright, let’s talk.”

“Talk? Fine, but let us tie you up first,” He Hongyan replied.

“What?”

Seeing the look of surprise on Ling Mo’s face, He Hongyan sneered and said, “Are you scared? If you really haven’t done anything, you’d better behave yourself right now.”

“No need to tie him up…” Old Zheng interjected.

But He Hongyan’s eyes grew even colder. “It’s necessary. Who knows what kind of tricks he might be hiding?”

“Is it really necessary to tie me up?” Ling Mo asked, somewhat troubled.

He Hongyan’s lips curled into a disdainful smile. “Absolutely.” She then turned to Xu Shuhan and added, “Her too.”

“How dare you…” Wang Lin was about to lose her temper, but Ling Mo stopped her, “Forget it. Just stay put.”

He walked directly towards He Hongyan and said, “Then tie me up.”

Ling Mo only had a tactical knife, which he threw to the side. In contrast, He Hongyan still held a gun, clearly in a dominant position.

As Ling Mo got closer, the man beside them turned to rummage for some rope, while He Hongyan kept a disdainful gaze fixed on Ling Mo.

When the distance between them was less than a meter, He Hongyan’s eyes suddenly flashed with malice. She lifted her foot and kicked towards Ling Mo’s groin, speaking in a low voice, almost as if whispering in his ear, “Daring to let that little girl stand up to me and use her influence… If you dodge, I’ll shoot you!”

He Hongyan was evidently a superhuman with enhancement abilities, and her sudden kick was forceful.

The most sinister part was her target-Ling Mo’s groin.

If he took that hit, it wouldn’t kill him but would still incapacitate him significantly. She was ruthless in her vengeance.

But it wasn’t just for revenge; Old Zheng’s attitude had given her a sense of impending threat. If there really was any connection between them, it would be better to cripple Ling Mo sooner rather than later. After all, these two were merely messengers from the Central Region Camp and had no say in Niepan’s internal affairs. She had the upper hand and wouldn’t face any repercussions for making a move here. On the contrary, she would eliminate a potential threat ahead of time.

After all, the grudge had already been formed. He Hongyan didn’t believe it could be eased, nor did she intend to try.

Rather than placing her hopes on others, she preferred to rely on herself.

In fact, a crazy idea was beginning to form in her mind.

If worse came to worst, she could just kill this whole group!

Without messengers arriving at Niepan, would Niepan really send people to investigate?

As for the Central Region Camp, it was so far away that she felt no fear whatsoever.

With this thought in mind, she became even more eager to take action.

With a gun in her hand, if she could take out Ling Mo, she would completely seize control of the situation!

A loud “whoosh” could be heard, and no one around her had yet reacted.

Ling Mo, standing in front of her, had a change in his expression.

“Thud!”

With the muffled sound, He Hongyan’s face immediately changed.

She had kicked out, but only halfway!

No wonder he showed no reaction-he had been prepared all along!

Before she could react, a sharp pain shot through her hand, forcing her to drop the gun, which was caught by Ling Mo with a “snap.”

He raised the gun to her forehead and said somewhat resignedly, “I originally wanted to resolve this peacefully, but you were just too ruthless.”

In the blink of an eye, their positions reversed, and He Hongyan couldn’t even understand how it happened.

What kind of ability does he have? With such strength, why had he hidden behind the Central Region Camp earlier?

At this point, the others finally reacted. The man who had reached for the rope wanted to move, but suddenly his vision blurred, and in the next moment, he found himself pinned against the wall.

The person who acted was Xu Shuhan. Although she kept her head down, one hand was tightly gripping the man’s throat.

“Don’t move…” Xu Shuhan said nervously.

It was her first time attacking a human. Though no blood was shed, she was trembling with fear.

The man stiffened completely. Hearing her words, he blinked and rasped out, “I… I won’t move…”

The girl’s speed was astonishing. Coupled with He Hongyan’s surprising defeat, he had lost the will to resist.

Wang Lin quickly rushed over and immediately saw He Hongyan’s suspended foot.

She was instantly filled with anger and was about to act when Ling Mo stopped her.

“Hey, hey, don’t move. I’ve got business to handle.”
