Chapter 1373 - 1373: As Expected of You

Li Ying's words successfully stirred the tension in the meeting room.

No one asked "foolish" questions like why the person who provided the photos wasn't brought to the scene to help identify it.

Because with Li Ying's intellect, she wouldn't overlook such basic issues.

"Could these photos have been sent by someone from the Devil's Concentration Camp?"

As soon as this was said, everyone looked at the speaker simultaneously, and then collectively showed a look of surprise.

The reason was simple: the person who raised this question was Gong Kaishan, who had spoken at numerous meetings without ever hitting the mark.

At this point, facing the gazes of everyone, Gong Kaishan awkwardly said, "Did I, did I say something wrong again?"

"You didn't say anything wrong," Li Ying sighed and said, "In fact, the question you raised is quite possible.

But we can't scrutinize these things in detail; whether we like it or not, we're being led by the nose.

Now, go get the equipment; once on scene, we'll make further arrangements."

The equipment was simple: an inner-worn bulletproof vest, a handgun, and a powerful flashlight.

Of course, better equipment could be provided, but being fully armed in broad daylight, even in the underground parking lot, would arouse suspicion and panic.

Twenty minutes later.

Three cars, twenty-one people, entered the underground parking lot.

The mall manager, who had been waiting there, came to meet them and provided a floor plan of the underground parking lot and some basic information before hurriedly leaving.

Hua Ling looked at the floor plan and then at the large area of the parking lot, and said helplessly, "This is going to be busy now.

There are twenty-one of us, and there are exactly three levels of parking, seven people per level.

I'll take a team, along with Sister Li Ying and Gong Kaishan."

After speaking, she quickly pulled Xiao Feng and Du Qingyue into her team.

Li Ying and Gong Kaishan each chose their teams as well. After forming the groups, they each headed to their designated levels.

"In such a large area, how do you think we should search?" Hua Ling looked at Xiao Feng.

The rest did the same; although Hua Ling was the team leader, everyone subconsciously felt there wasn't anything wrong with following Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng took the floor plan, looked at it for a while, and said, "Let's use a grid search method; each person covers a point, and finally meet at this location.

Remember how many pillars each person is responsible for checking. To avoid mistakes or omissions, you can use a marker to label the sequence.

Time is tight, and the task is heavy, so let's get moving. If you find anything, contact me via the walkie-talkie."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ying's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Team two is in position, now confirming communication signal."

Soon after, Gong Kaishan's voice was heard: "Team three is in position, confirming communication signal."

Xiao Feng glanced at Hua Ling, who seemed indifferent and intent on doing nothing, and had no choice but to reply on her behalf: "Team one received, signal is normal."

"Team two normal."

"Team three normal."

After confirming that communication was fine, everyone walked towards the positions assigned by Xiao Feng.

"Be careful," Xiao Feng said to Du Qingyue.

"Okay, you too," Du Qingyue nodded and turned to leave.

Xiao Feng also turned around, but hadn't gone far before Hua Ling caught up, puffing, "Why didn't you tell me to be careful?"

"Then you be careful too."

"You..." Hua Ling became even angrier, "Can you be any less sincere?"

"Sincere?" Xiao Feng's smile gradually widened into a mischievous grin.

Hua Ling immediately became wary, then as if realizing something, backed off and turned around, muttering, "Forget it, forget it, let others be angry; I won't let it make me sick..."

Xiao Feng chuckled in silence but didn't dwell on it and focused on the task at hand.

However, just as he reached the designated location to start working,

someone furtively slid a business card onto the car window and dropped one on the ground as they passed him.

Xiao Feng bent down to pick up the card and found three large characters written on it: Go to the rooftop.

Turning around, he found the area behind him empty, with no trace of anyone.

After pondering for a moment, he decided not to alert Hua Ling and others and walked towards the elevator.

As for whether there was an ambush on the rooftop, Xiao Feng thought it was very possible, but since the person dared to give him this card, they must have thought of an escape plan.

Therefore, having more people wouldn't solve anything.

Braving danger alone was the only option.

Once at the door to the rooftop, Xiao Feng took a deep breath and pushed open the iron door in front of him.

After a series of screeches, the expected scenario of having a knife pressed to his neck, a dark gun barrel pointed at his forehead, or a group of muscular men, smoking cigarettes, holding submachine guns aimed at him, didn't appear.

In his line of sight, a figure appeared in the distance.

The graceful curves, tall stature, and long hair falling behind indicated it was a woman.

At that moment, as if hearing the sound, the woman slightly turned her face, complementing the sunlight, creating a picturesque scene!

Xiao Feng casually observed the surroundings and walked towards her at a steady pace.

Until he was within fifty meters, the woman turned around and smiled, "No ambush, just me."

She had skin as fair as jade, an oval face with air bangs falling on the brow, and a pair of charming eyes filled with allure. Her slightly curled long hair fell on her chest, complementing the smile on her face, creating a stunning impression.

Moreover, the light pink coat, paired with jeans and sports shoes, added a youthful touch.

However, upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a unique non-youthful aura hovering around her.

In short, from the appearance alone,

no one could imagine that someone with such a striking appearance could be the heartless and ruthless instructor from the Devil's Concentration Camp.

"Tang Yunshu, it's indeed you," Xiao Feng said in a calm tone.

Tang Yunshu laughed again, "Yan Huang, it's really you!"

And then...

They both fell into silence.

There was actually no special story between Xiao Feng and Tang Yunshu.

Back in the Devil's Concentration Camp, the two were merely nodding acquaintances, neither close nor hostile.

As for Xiao Feng remembering Tang Yunshu's earrings, it was because once during a bet, Tang Yunshu used her specially styled earrings as a stake.

Later, Xiao Feng won the bet, and Tang Yunshu traded them for other conditions.

That's why he had a particularly deep impression...

After a moment, Tang Yunshu broke the silence, "I initially wanted to catch up with you, but I realized we don't have much past to discuss.

Since that's the case, let's get straight to the point."

"That's for the best," Xiao Feng replied indifferently.

"I came to you to ask for help."

"Help?" Xiao Feng sneered, "You're the one who wants to kill me, and now you're asking me for help?"

Tang Yunshu's smile faded, her pretty face full of seriousness, "Killing you is indeed my purpose in coming to Jiangcheng this time, but it's not my true intention.

Besides, you may not know.

I'm currently the head of the Devil's Concentration Camp."

"Hmm?" Xiao Feng furrowed his brow.

"You heard right," Tang Yunshu repeated, "I'm now the head of the Devil's Concentration Camp... or should I say, someone on the brink of death."

Xiao Feng quickly pondered this, following up, "What do you mean by 'on the brink of death'?"

"Simple, not being the head offers a chance to live, but once in this position, it's a matter of life and death," Tang Yunshu said solemnly.

"Just last month, I personally killed my predecessor and smoothly took this position.

But in truth, I'm not very interested in being head; I killed my predecessor, and my successor will kill me.

This position spells death for anyone who sits here!"
