Chapter 877: Yu Xian Is in My Hands
“This must be the tool she used to directly communicate with Chief of Staff Wang…” Ling Mo rubbed his temple and reached out to pick up the Communicator. This device was quite different from the ones he usually saw; it was clearly heavily modified.
“Since it’s customized, it must be secure against eavesdropping. Maybe there’s no limit on when calls can be made, allowing contact with that person at any time,” Xia Na commented from the side.
Li Yalin leaned in from the other side, looking down and asking, “Should we call?”
Ling Mo’s expression suddenly turned somewhat eerie as he held the Communicator in silence.
Of course, Ling Mo was displeased with the mastermind who plotted against him… but whether he should engage in a conversation this way, he was somewhat uncertain.
Through a series of indirect contacts, Ling Mo had already formed a few impressions: cold-blooded, calculating, and decisive… Only someone like this could stand out among the core Members and become their leader.
Even from Su Qianrou’s attitude, it was easy to see that this man indeed had a formidable presence.
However… just how strong this person was, wasn’t really what concerned Ling Mo. What he cared about was, what could he gain from making this call?
“No matter how much they try to block it, the news will definitely reach Falcon Camp by tomorrow. These people probably have a routine of reporting to the Main Camp, and simultaneous issues will certainly raise alarms. A little analysis would easily reveal what happened. Second Camp here probably won’t just let these people carry on as usual, right? So…” Xia Na pinched her hair tips and said, “The effective usage time of this Communicator is from now until about six o’clock tomorrow morning.”
“So, you mean to say I should use this time to think about what questions I want to ask…” Ling Mo said.
Xia Na’s lips curled up, and she snapped her fingers: “Exactly! Talking to this kind of person is definitely tiring, if you don’t think it through in advance… Hey! You’ve already made the call?”
Silence suddenly filled the restroom, leaving only Ling Mo calmly staring into the Mirror while holding the Communicator.
After several remote confrontations, this was the first real conversation…
He wondered what kind of expression the other person would have upon hearing his voice…
Judging from his approach, it seems to Ling Mo that in his eyes, Ling Mo and his company are merely insignificant bugs to be casually chased and crushed… Crushing them would be ideal, but failing to do so would not matter, as he could always make time to squash them later…
A few seconds later, a deep, somewhat lazy-sounding male voice came through, despite the electromagnetic interference. One could still detect the distinct tone of a Radio Host in his voice…
“Hello?”
“What’s going on! Are you Xu Shuhan’s colleague?” Ling Mo frowned.
Considering the man’s refined appearance, Ling Mo felt an urge to punch him.
Shouldn’t such a person have a crude face and be spewing vulgarities? Why doesn’t his personality match his looks? Thinking about Yu Xian’s devoted demeanor… it truly is a superficial world!
Just as Ling Mo was about to speak, he heard a sudden “Hmm?” from the other end.
“You’re not Yu Xian, who are you?” The man asked calmly.
“Damn!”
His hearing was incredibly sharp! The problem was Ling Mo hadn’t even started talking yet. How did he figure it out?
“No need to keep it up, your breathing rate is different from Yu Xian’s, and is rougher than a woman’s, so I’m sure you’re a man. Where is Yu Xian? Is she in danger?” The man continued. RἈŊ𝐎𝔟Ê𝓢
This barrage of deductions made Ling Mo’s expression darken.
Like Yu Xian, this man also possessed extraordinary hearing and strong analytical skills. Even from mere hints, they could draw many conclusions. However, this Chief of Staff Wang was obviously much more formidable than Yu Xian, suggesting that the “special training” Yu Xian mentioned was personally taught by him.
However… training his own girlfriend to carry out dangerous missions was indeed reprehensible!
“Listen, I don’t care who you are, just don’t harm Yu Xian, and I’ll make it worth your while…” Chief of Staff Wang continued.
Ling Mo sneered at that moment, interrupting him and said, “Stop pretending. Offering me benefits? Who do you think you are, so confident?”
His tone might have been too harsh, as even the female Zombies turned to look.
Wang Lin covered her mouth and chuckled, “Go on, keep talking. Add a bit more emphasis and you’ll sound just like a kidnapper.”
“Yu Xian is in my hands,” Ling Mo declared bluntly.
“Wow, you actually went through with it! Saying such terrible lines with such righteousness!” Wang Lin exclaimed in surprise.
Chief of Staff Wang fell silent at first, but he quickly responded, maintaining his tone, “What do you want?”
“Look, you’re quite calm. I guess when you’re silent, it’s not because you’re sad, but because you’re giving orders,” Ling Mo remarked.
“That’s none of your business,” Chief of Staff Wang replied. “Make your demands.”
Ling Mo furrowed his brows again… Despite their differing stances, when that woman expressed resistance through her silence, it indeed revealed a twisted kind of love… A mad love that was all for herself, disregarding others…
But her sacrifice only led to Chief of Staff Wang’s continually calm, and even somewhat cold, demeanor.
After all that was said, he didn’t even offer a superfluous greeting… And this strictly business-like attitude made Ling Mo feel a chill down his spine.
Why do people live, and what do they rely on to live… These questions had wandered through his mind many times.
But, the ways people survive are indeed very different…
“Will you fulfill my demands?” Ling Mo asked.
“I will,” Chief of Staff Wang quickly replied.
Ling Mo shook his head and said, “No, you won’t. The fact that I got hold of this Communicator means I already know a lot of information. So, whether Yu Xian is dead or not, she has already lost her value for survival. You just want to kill me.”
The other party immediately fell silent. At times like this, negating what was said didn’t hold much significance… So when he spoke again, he merely suggested, “Or perhaps we could make a deal, a mutually beneficial one. I think you wouldn’t refuse that, right? To show my sincerity, I didn’t even bother asking any superfluous questions…”
“No need,” Ling Mo interrupted him again, “I’m not interested in making deals with you.”
“Then why did you call?” Chief of Staff Wang asked.
“To confirm whether you’re really scum. Now that I’m sure, I’ll feel even more motivated when I beat you up,” Ling Mo said coldly.
“What do you mean by…”
“My name is Ling Mo, remember that well, and… wait for me to come and beat you.”
After hanging up the Communicator, Ling Mo swiftly extracted a tiny chip from it.
“This could be some sort of tracker… who knows, anything unusual is suspicious,” he casually tossed it into the toilet, saying, “Go find another dimension down the sewer.”
“You were quite impressive just now… yet you’re still distracted checking the Communicator,” Xia Na said, supporting her forehead.
Ye Lian smiled dumbly at Ling Mo, obediently taking the Communicator from his hand.
Watching her gently shake the Communicator, it seemed like she wanted to shake Chief of Staff Wang right out of it and give him a good beating…
“But… you did enjoy cursing him out, now he definitely knows something’s wrong here,” Wang Lin said worriedly.
Ling Mo raised his wrist and said, “It’s been over two hours now, and it’s deep into the night… The most troubling time has passed. Even if he notices something, it will take hours to investigate and confirm… What’s there to worry about?”
“I wish they would send more people so none of them can return,” Li Yalin giggled, but her words sent a chill through the room…
“That’s unlikely… I guess they will still try to fight a war of resources,” Ling Mo said.
Resources had always been Falcon’s advantage, but to Ling Mo now, resources were the least of his concerns…
All he needed to do was figure out how to get those items out.
Inside the Falcon Camp.
In a dimly lit office, a man draped in a blanket sat expressionlessly, clutching a communicator, staring out of the window. Behind him stood a woman, equally silent.
Unlike him, the woman was dressed in a smart professional outfit and wore gold-rimmed glasses, looking meticulous and still immersed in work.
The static from the communicator sounded loud and somewhat eerie in the quiet room.
“Chief of Staff?” the woman suddenly spoke.
The man’s fingers began to tighten around the communicator, turning his knuckles a bit white, and the device started making a faint “click” sound.
After a dozen seconds, he exhaled sharply and asked, “Have all the people sent to hunt him down disappeared?”
“Yes,” the woman nodded.
“No wonder…” His grip tightened further. “No wonder he managed to call me directly.”
“Chief of Staff, their combat ability should not be underestimated. Even though they are few in number, their battle experience is indeed extensive,” the woman observed.
“It’s too late,” the man said, releasing the communicator and leaning back in his chair. “That pawn is completely useless now. We’ll have to find other ways to pressure Yuwen Xuan. Still, we can’t just let him off. Once this is over, pick some skilled operatives from the main team to take him and his accomplices out.”
His tone was indifferent, as if discussing a group of ants rather than living people.
The woman nodded slightly, “Understood. So tonight…”
“No rush. No matter how desperate they get, they’ll eventually have to yield,” the man tightened his blanket, then suddenly chuckled, “Remember your name… How trivial…”
