Chapter 384: Their Lives Are the Condition
"Yeah, is it just a man and a friend? If they're dead, they're dead. Especially Yun Hao, even if he's found, he'll only live for another week. I advise you to find another man sooner!" Only the Seductive Snake would dare to say something like that!
"Hmph, Seductive Snake, are you looking for trouble?" Before Chu Yan could respond, Tank was already upset, glaring at Seductive Snake with tiger-like eyes.
"What's the matter? Do you think you can beat me? Am I not speaking the truth? Even if he's found, it'll just be heartbreaking again!" Seductive Snake defiantly stared back at Tank!
"You two, stop arguing. I've decided to start working at the company again tomorrow. I want to make the company the biggest!" Chu Yan addressed the two as they glared at each other, then went upstairs alone to her room!
"Alright, you two, stop wasting time. If you really want to vent, dig out the shorty for me. I want to personally interrogate him and find Black Moon's headquarters!" Liu Mengqi, as the leader, stepped forward to speak!
"Hmph!" Hearing Liu Mengqi's words, Tank and Seductive Snake exchanged glances and then left the villa, ignoring each other!
After everyone left, Liu Mengqi went up to the rooftop alone, looking at a woman standing there completely shrouded in a black robe. She asked softly, "Why have you come here?"
"Someone asked me to tell you that Yun Hao is not dead, and Zhao Shishi isn't dead either; they're just trapped somewhere!" The person turned around, revealing herself to be the globally renowned Black Widow, the superstar Ying'Er who always appeared and disappeared unexpectedly!
"Who is this person?"
"You'll know when the time is right!" Ying'Er left this sentence calmly, then leaped off the rooftop!
Liu Mengqi knew a bit about Ying'Er. Though she didn't know Ying'Er's identity, she knew Ying'Er had been by Yun Hao's side for many years. Few knew that the Black Widow, as famous as Asura, would be a bodyguard beside Asura!
In terms of trust, Yun Hao might trust Ying'Er nearly as much as Liu Mengqi, so Liu Mengqi was inclined to believe Ying'Er's words!
Since Yun Hao was alright, Liu Mengqi decided not to think about it anymore and focused on Black Moon. Cold Face aggressively suppressed Black Moon's activities and any identifiable members globally, but little action was taken within Huaxia!
So, Liu Mengqi decided to launch an investigation into Black Moon in Huaxia. For some reason, she felt there might be a Black Moon branch in Huaxia!
"Xuan Yi, take Xuan Er and Xuan San, and conduct a thorough search for anything related to Black Moon in Huaxia. You don't need to protect us here, with Seductive Snake and me here, Chu Yan won't be in danger!" Liu Mengqi instructed over the phone to Xuan Yi, then called Tang Rou!
"Vermilion Bird, how about a business deal? I want all Dragon Scale's information about Black Moon, in exchange for the lives of the other three Guardians!"
Although Liu Mengqi's tone was somewhat polite in this sentence, anyone could hear the threatening significance behind it!
This was a transaction using the lives of Cyan Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, clearly telling Tang Rou that if she agreed, they wouldn't be killed, but if she refused, they would be!
"Why should I?" Tang Rou calmly asked, with Cyan Dragon and the others standing beside her, her phone on speaker mode!
"Because they knew in advance about the ambush on Yun Hao!"
"Do you dare to make a move here?"
"Of course not, I won't act within Huaxia, nor will my people. But they better never leave Huaxia, otherwise, they'll never return. I swear in the name of the Thunder Mercenary Corps!" Liu Mengqi stated word by word, hanging up without waiting for a reply!
Less than five minutes later, Tang Rou called back, refusing Liu Mengqi's demand. Originally, according to her own thoughts, she wanted to agree, as she also wanted revenge for Yun Hao. But her position prevented her from acting according to her own wishes!
"Notify our informants at airports worldwide, as soon as any Dragon Scale guardians go there, inform me immediately!" Liu Mengqi released a task to the mercenary corps' investigation team, then called Xuan Yi, "Use Mouse's power in Huaxia to tightly monitor the three Dragon Scale Guardians and Vermilion Bird. If they show any signs of activity, notify me immediately!"
Liu Mengqi was furious, one could say she was out of control. She had never agreed to target people from Dragon Scale before, but this time, she took the initiative to order it!
The sun rose as usual the next day, unaffected by anyone's absence or dimmed light. Tank and Seductive Snake stayed out all night investigating Black Moon, Liu Mengqi also left the villa without knowing where she went, while Chu Yan dressed up and went to work at her company as before!
Aunt Wu returned as well, tidying everything up as usual before taking a bag to go grocery shopping!
Unbeknownst to everyone, it had been nearly two months since Yun Hao fell off the cliff, and it was already winter, soon to be the New Year. The streets of Nanjiang City became less lively than before, as many out-of-towners who worked or lived there had gone back home for the holidays!
As the saying goes, festival times bring thoughts of family, which holds true at all times!
Chu Yan and the others seemed unaware of the approaching Spring Festival, continuing their usual busyness. It's not that they forgot, but that they choose not to remember!
...
"Little Shishi, in another week we'll be able to leave here, are you happy?" Yun Hao threw a stone slab aside forcefully, looking at his explosively strong arms, and happily said to Zhao Shishi beside him, seeing the black Gu line long disappeared from his left arm.
As early as half a month ago, the Heart-devouring Gu poison in Yun Hao's body had been cleared, but to achieve the physical strength he desired, he hadn't rushed to leave!
"Not happy!"
"What's wrong? Why are you unhappy? Don't you dislike eating roast meat every day?"
"Roast meat may not be tasty, but once we're out, you won't belong solely to me! You won't be able to hold me every day like now!" Zhao Shishi pouted and said unhappily.
