Chapter 352 A Trap!
The next day, I continued to search around the Icy Forest Graveyard map. Once again I found a large amount of Spirit Recovering Grass. In the afternoon, Matcha sent me a message.
“Boss, Our First Division’s Wong Jiang is coming to Suzhou from Hangzhou. He’ll be here at around 1. Did you know about this?”
“I didn’t. What happened?” I asked.
Matcha opened her voice message and said, “It seems like it’s about Rainy’s problems. After Rainy is finished with her classes, she’ll come here as well. She’ll probably be here in an hour or so. It should be the problem regarding her brother, so…..”
I frowned, “Why didn’t Rainy listen to me. Hmph. If they come, then they’ll come. Go pick them up later and I’ll come over to the studio as well.
“Okay. I’ll contact them then. They’re probably almost here. I’ll make a reservation at Hu Spices then.
“Okay. Thanks for telling me. I’ll come over right now.”
“Okay!”
……
In the afternoon, I wasn’t with Wan Er and Dong Cheng like usual. Instead, I was standing in front of Hu Spices.
In the restaurant, Matcha, Song Han, Old K and Fox were there already. There were also two others. One was the 20 year old Rainy who was still in college. She was fairly pretty so I’d give her a 7. The other one was Wong Jiang. A 20 year old youngster with large eyes. Seeing me come over, he immediately stood up and respectfully said, “Guild Master!”
I laughed. “No need to be too polite. Sit.”
Rainy’s eyes were red and swollen as she looked at me and said, “Boss, I really…. I really don’t know what to do. There isn’t any information regarding my brother. The police couldn’t find any clues about his whereabouts either. I think…. If I stay in Suzhou, I’ll be able to find him. At least… at least I’ll be closer to him…….”
I took a deep breath and said, “Rainy, don’t worry too much. They’ll find your brother. You…. You should stay over at the studio tonight. Stay with Matcha. That way I’ll feel a little more assured about your safety.
“Okay…..”
……
After settling Rainy and Wong Jiang down, I stayed at the studio for a bit to check over what’s been happening. Although we have a large shop with a massive fortune, the studio did not meddle with any of [Zhan Long]’s funds. All the profits were used to buy equipment for the guild members. Good thing Matcha and Old K were able to level fast, the studio’s improvement was very impressive.
In the afternoon, Rainy cried a few more times. Wong Jiang carefully comforted and looked after her. We could all tell that this kid really cared for Rainy. Maybe it was the result of love. As for what happened to Rainy, we can’t do anything but pray. Qin Meng ending up in Blood Scythe hands means that his life was left up to fate.
I waited until around 10 at night before changing into a nice shirt and bringing out Xiao Hei.
Matcha smiled, “Boss, Where are you going in the middle of the night all dressed up like that?”
“Uh….” I wavered. “To help Rainy look for her brother. Haha. Leaving in the middle of the night is a bit more convenient.”
Sitting on the sofa, Rainy stood up, “Boss. Really? But… but somehow I feel like you’re lying to me. I feel like you’re going to a bar, dressing all nicely and stuff. You also brought along a guitar….”
I replied, “Rainy, you gotta trust me. If I say I’m helping you find him, then I’ll be looking for him.”
“Okay……”
Rainy forced a smile, “Then work hard, Boss!”
“Okay. Stay here and wait for my good news!”
“Okay!”
……
After leaving, I went straight to the base. There, a twenty-person squad was all ready. I quickly changed into my battle gear as well, and put my badge onto my shoulder with a “Pa” sound. Next, I put two army knifes on each of my holster and strapped Xiao Hei onto my back. I had my handgun as well. Since the operation didn’t need it, there was no need to bring a sniper rifle.
Everyone was ready. Wang Xin waved his hands and said, “Li Xiao Yao will lead. Since Shen Bing is familiar with the area, she’ll go as well.”
