Chapter 318: Preparation & Encounter.
Hao Ren disconnected the call and went back to the school. He contacted Xia Yulei, and the lady accepted the call quickly. Hao Ren asked, "Teacher, did you hear what happened to Han Lingshi?"
Xia Yulei was confused and asked, "What happened?"
Hao Ren told her what happened, and the teacher was shocked. She checked the class group and it was all chaos. After reading through she got the idea of what happened and went back to the call, "Hao Ren, thank you for telling me. I will check with the board and relay in the group."
Hao Ren said, "Ma'am, actually, my parents are a bit concerned about me and they have asked me to come back home for some days. I know that it is very abrupt but can I ask for a leave and go to visit them?"
Xia Yulei thought about it, and it made sense to her as Hao Ren was away from home. First with her nabbing and now the kidnapping of his deskmate. She thought no matter how valiant Hao Ren was, he was still a child so it did make sense for him to be asking for leave. She sighed and replied, "You can take four days off. No more."
Hao Ren nodded and thanked her before he began to pack his bag with normal clothes. After a couple of hours, Xiao Mei called, she said, "Big brother, you got your visa, and the ticket is booked. You can operate there for ten days, and then you will need to come back."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Arrange for a weapons pick up and drop near the airport. When I get down, I want the complete details of the Red Scorpion people and Anton Chekov."
Xiao Mei agreed, she and the duo knew that Hao Ren was not like normal children. She asked, "What do you need?"
Hao Ren said, "Handgun, a submachine gun, a sniper rifle, ammunition, and drones for surveillance. In short, complete gear for a special force operative."
Xiao Mei nodded, and said, "I will get the Dark Room coordinate with you."
Dark room was a hacker alliance, Xiao Mei held a significant position there and they had a lot of underground connections with some high level weapons suppliers and mercenaries.
Hao Ren nodded, and then disconnected the phone after receiving the data of the flight and e-visa on his phone. He picked up his back, and went out.
…
Xiao Si watched Xiao Mei operate the computer and asked, "Do you think we should go along with him?"
Xiao Mei shook her head and said, "You will only slow him down. Have you ever seen him do anything that he wasn't sure of?"
Her gaze was fixed on the screen and Xiao Si sighed, "I wonder what is so special about Han Lingshi that he is willing to go through so much trouble."
Xiao Mei rolled her eyes and said, "Sis, had it been us, he would have done the same. On the phone, I sensed something different about him."
Xiao Si raised her brows and remarked, "I thought I was looking too deep into it."
Xiao Mei took a deep breath and replied, "No, you did not, his intention to kill was so strong I had goosebumps. I have published the task of aiding him as SSS and dished out five million dollars as the reward."
Xiao Si frowned and said, "You have that much money?"
Xiao Mei nodded and replied, "I have accumulated twenty million ever since I joined this place, but couldn't use it on myself. If someone tracks us, it would be a problem, but this is fine, behind the screen, we are safe."

Xiao Si sighed as she said, "I am going to practise."
Xiao Mei nodded and went back to her task.
…
Hao Ren reached the airport and directly went to the immigration office. The process was smooth, Xiao Mei was very smooth and the back entries she slipped in worked, and the immigration cleared him to travel.
The young man sat down in the waiting room with his eyes closed as he pondered on what he should do about the situation. He would be going to a foreign country and he would need to track down the enemy before he could find out where Lingshi was kept. Then he needed to kill people and get away after rescuing her. His mind was racing and after thirty minutes he woke up because of the announcement on the speaker.
His flight was about to take off. He picked up his bag and moved through the security check and then boarded a bus. There were many people around him, who were chatting with each other, however, he had no interest in mingling.
Suddenly, a voice sounded beside him. "Hello, I am Stephanie."
Hao Ren looked at her and just nodded, before he made a few signs with his hands, instating that he was mute. The girl was shocked and then said, "I am sorry, I did not know."
Hao Ren shook his head and leaned back to meditate. This girl did not take the hint and kept talking, a few minutes later, the bus reached close to the plane and then everyone boarded the plane. Hao Ren found his seat, strapped in, put on his earphones and leaned back in the chair to close his eyes.
The flight took off after a few minutes, and Hao Ren peeked through the window as he clenched his fists. If only he did not have any restrictions, he would have gone after Lingshi by tracking her aura and using his ability to fly.
After four hours, the flight landed on an island nation, Belusa. Hao Ren checked his phone and found the details of the two people that he had requested, after looking through it, he was shocked.
Stephanie saw him standing in a daze and approached again while they were walking through the arrival channel. She sighed and looking at him said, "I know that you do not want to talk to me, but please take a look at this."
She took out an identity card and handed it to Hao Ren. The latter looked at the card and was surprised for a second. He asked coldly, "For how long have you guys been tailing me?"
Stephanie sensed a cold and dark killing intention and said, "We had no intention of tailing you. You have never caused any trouble for the people around you, but when the tickets were booked under your name, we became concerned, and after investigating we found that you were coming here on a rescue. That's why they sent me over."
Hao Ren sneered and asked, "Do you think if you were in my place you would believe an operative of the Supernatural Investigation Department?"
Stephanie was a member of the Supernatural Investigation Department, and as the name suggests, she worked for people who knew about cultivators and probably wanted to control them. Hao Ren said, "Choose your words wisely or I will not mind taking your head off, right here."
Stephanie shivered and said, "I was sent here to ask you to help us. Someone from the department was killed by the leader of the Red Scorpion and if you can help us avenge that, the department will reward you."
Hao Ren clicked his tongue and said, "If I help you once, you will ask me to help you twice, and I do not want to be bound by you. So, goodbye."
Stephanie said, "What if I give you the information you want about the two parties? Something that cannot be found on the darknet?"
Hao Ren stopped in his spot and said, "If it is irrelevant, I will kill you, agreed?"
Stephanie nodded and then the two left the airport together.
