Chapter 1566: Chapter 1564: Locating the Position

Liu Ermeng lowered his head. "I don’t know, I really don’t know about that."

Yang Chen stared coldly at Liu Ermeng and said, "Things have already come this far, what are you still trying to hide?"

Liu Ermeng kept his head down and said nothing.

"Think it over carefully. I’ve got plenty of time, not to mention... my investigators should be close to finding out already. Even if he used an overseas phone, I can still trace it." Yang Chen glanced at the time. "We’re about there. If you don’t want to talk, then don’t."

Hearing that, Liu Ermeng panicked, because the feeling Yang Chen gave him was as if he already knew everything, and just needed him to speak it out to check whether it matched, even down to Liu Erdan using an overseas SIM card.

"No! I’ll talk! I’ll say everything!" Liu Ermeng hurriedly said, "Actually, I don’t know that much, because it was always Liu Erdan who contacted them."

Yang Chen quietly watched Liu Ermeng.

Liu Ermeng went on, "All I know is that guy is a rich man from Monkey Country, he’s into our Flame Country culture, that’s why he asked for this stuff."

"I know where their deal is taking place, and I know the spot where Liu Erdan told me to meet him, so... I want to ask, if I tell you all of this, can I get my sentence reduced? My parents are both old now. If I go in and never come out, there’ll be no one to take care of them in their old age or send them off when they die. I’m begging you, officer!" With his hands cuffed to the chair, Liu Ermeng couldn’t kneel, so he could only bang his head against the table, pleading.

Yang Chen’s eyes were icy as he looked at him, his face expressionless. "If you knew it would be like this, why did you do it? Now you suddenly feel like no one will be there for your old folks? When you chose to flee abroad back then, how did you not think about that?"

"I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! Please, give me a chance!" Liu Ermeng begged.

Yang Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "All I can promise is that I’ll apply for a reduced sentence for you with my superiors. But whether you actually get one depends on their decision."

When he heard that, Liu Ermeng was grateful beyond words. "That’s enough! That’s enough! Thank you! Thank you!"

"Even so, you still have to show initiative. That’s the only way you’ll have a better shot." Yang Chen said.

"I understand! I understand, I’ll talk now, I’ll talk right now!" Liu Ermeng said.

He said, "Their deal location is the Nangang Grand Hotel in Monkey Country, room 608, time is noon twelve o’clock, three days from now. Our meet-up time is tomorrow at noon twelve, at the pavilion in the park by Monkey Country’s airport."

After listening, Yang Chen immediately stood up and said to Liu Ermeng, "Next you’ll need to cooperate with us. If we can catch Liu Erdan or that antique buyer, it’ll count as major merit for you. You’ll definitely be able to get your sentence reduced."

Hearing that, Liu Ermeng grew even more motivated. "Just tell me what you need me to do, I’ll absolutely do it without hesitation!"

"Wait here." Yang Chen turned and walked out.

After leaving the interrogation room, Ye Xin and Yang Cao came over.

Yang Chen said to them, "You both heard, right?"

"We heard." The two nodded.

"Immediately send people to Monkey Country to get everything ready. We’re heading out from here at once, take Liu Ermeng with us. As soon as the other party shows up, we move in and grab them! We need to act fast on this, absolutely no delays! Otherwise, if we’re slow, things will change." Yang Chen said.

"Understood!" Ye Xin said. "I’ll handle the arrangements on the Monkey Country side."

Yang Chen nodded and said to Yang Cao, "Right now get people on the coordination procedures, and our plane tickets. Book them immediately, be ready to depart at any time!"

"Yes!"

Once the plan was laid out, Yang Chen had people continue to hold Liu Ermeng in custody.

After that, Yang Chen and Yang Cao headed back up the mountain.

Because a whole series of maintenance work was still underway on the mountain.

What Yang Chen cared about most was the situation beneath the cliff.

Once preparations were complete, they could go down under the cliff at any time for a full inspection.

After discussing with Yang Cao, Yang Chen had already screened out a group of candidates.

Among them were three members of a special operations team, all extraordinarily tough, strong in both offense and defense.

The other two were scientific researchers—don’t be fooled by the fact they’re researchers, when it comes to fighting in tombs, they don’t even blink.

The last one was a medical worker, and the only woman in the team.

Don’t underestimate her just because she’s a woman; she’d once served as a battlefield doctor, extremely formidable. Under normal circumstances, even a few burly men wouldn’t be able to get within one meter of her body.

The three special ops members went down first to scout the route.

Then Yang Chen and Yang Cao followed them down.

The two of them had to stay close behind the three special ops soldiers, because even though they were special ops, they weren’t as familiar with the environment below as Yang Chen.

Above them were the two researchers, and at the very top was the medic.

The group lined up single file, slowly making their way down.

The cliff was very steep, with barely any footholds, so everyone was extremely careful.

On top of that, whenever they lowered their heads they could see the huge net below, which made everyone uneasy.

After roughly half an hour, they finally reached the vine zone.

Yang Chen ordered everyone to keep quiet and carefully inspect the vine net.

Once he was standing on the vines, Yang Chen cautiously looked toward those huge pits that looked like they’d been smashed out.

Yang Chen saw that the cuts all looked like they’d been cauterized and had stopped growing, as if they could no longer heal.

Seeing this, Yang Chen was secretly shocked.

Because he knew the vines were also part of the parasites. If that was really the case, and these things could injure them, then it meant we might be able to use this effect to better fight the parasites.

This was an extremely rare, truly precious experience.

Yang Chen immediately said to Yang Cao, "Hurry up and collect some of this, so we can study it thoroughly when we get back."

Yang Cao stepped forward at once, took out specialized equipment, and started collecting the material from the surface.

While Yang Cao was collecting samples, the others began to fan out and wander, searching everywhere.

Watching them, Yang Chen frowned.

From the very start Yang Chen had warned them not to wander around.

But seeing how purposeful they seemed, Yang Chen only sneered inwardly.

People say all these shareholders agreed to operate jointly, but who doesn’t have their own thoughts? Once they see the other side’s people making a move, of course they’ll make a move too.

Thinking of this, Yang Chen didn’t bother to remind them, and just watched Yang Cao finish collecting.

Very soon, Yang Chen stood up, shook the container in his hand, and said, "If this stuff really can harm the parasites, and we manage to fully understand it, then when that time comes, we truly won’t need to fear the parasites anymore!"

Sometimes when Yang Chen thought about it, he actually felt a bit sorry for those parasites.

Because if the parasites had started parasitizing from the beginning, maybe by now society would be a parasitic society, and humans would just be their shells.

But that’s not what happened. These parasites hid here for thousands of years; once they emerged, they were taken for all kinds of research and could be wiped out at any moment.
