Chapter 353 A New Strategy
“Ding…….”
The bloody fragment dropped into the water and immediately diluted the water.
I frowned and quietly laid there as Shen Bing wiped my head with a cold towel. She softly whispered, “Li Xiao Yao, does it hurt?”
“They injected anesthetics. What do you think?”
“Uh, okay….”
Next to Wang Xin, a 50 year old lab specialist picked up the fragment and gently stroked it, “This fragment is made from titanium and is very hard. Li Xiao Yao is a Royal Air Level practitioner who has greatly refined his body. His physique is many times stronger than that of a normal person. And yet, these fragments were able to pierce his skin very easily. These people are not only good at predicting our movements, but they’ve also researched our people thoroughly. They know our weaknesses…….”
Shen Bing’s arms shook as her face was filled with remorse, “It’s all my fault…. I was too careless. If it wasn’t for the fact that I didn’t erase my traces last night, they wouldn’t have noticed that someone had forced their way into the system and access their database. Then we wouldn’t have fallen into this trap…..”
“The problem now is………”
Wang Xin sighed, “We lost all our leads again, and we didn’t even find Qin Meng’s whereabouts. They’ve also destroyed all their evidence in the underground labs. We’re back to square one.”
I raised my head and looked at Wang Xin, “Can’t you directly apprehend Wei Fan?”
“Not possible!” Wang Xin flatly replied. “With his identity as the CEO of Songfeng Entertainments, he was received by officers from *** yesterday. They placed utmost importance on him due to his involvement in the development of the entertainment industry. We cannot make a move on Wei Fan right now. Right now, he’s like a red hot charcoal. If we touch him, we’ll just burn ourselves. Last time when we caught Dong Feng, it was only because of General Sun Xing that the situation was able to settle down. I’m afraid that he’s probably been released already. The pressure from these high ranking officials are too much for us…….”
The doctor helped me sew up my wounds. After applying medicine and wrapping it with bandages, I sat up. The effects of the anesthetics were almost gone. I swung my arms around a bit, and felt that there was no loss on my mobility nor strength. For a practitioner who has greatly refined his body, this wasn’t much of an injury. Looking at the three fragments, I looked at Wang Xin and said, “How about this? I’ll leave the Guardian squad and use my own identity to investigate. This way I won’t be able to be pressured by Wei Fan. What do you think?”
“No! It’s too dangerous!” Wang Xin shook his head. “You know, the people that we’ve been facing so far aren’t even considered to be part of their main group. Not only does Wei Fan have Artificials on his side, he also has a bunch of people like you. Originally, these people didn’t care for common matters, but with their vast amount of fortune, Wei Fan was able to hire five Royal Air level experts. The headquarters are telling us not to underestimate Wei Fan. Since his Songfeng Entertainment is located in Hangzhou, we’re in the most dangerous location. We definitely cannot let you go solo. If anything were to happen to you, then the Guardian squad won’t have anyone to rely on anymore. There is no second Li Xiao Yao.”
I smiled helplessly, “Then are we going to be passive forever….?”
“No, we won’t…..”
Wang Xin’s eyes grew cold, “For Wan Fei to be training so many Artificials, he must want to establish his position in the Southern Black Association. Training these Artificials takes a lot of time and space. They must be training in some sort of large factory or something. I’ve been gathering the DNA data from the Artificials. According to the analysts, we’ll be able to find their training location in around half a month. When we find this place, we’ll have enough evidence to take Wei Fan down!”
I couldn’t help but laugh and didn’t say anything.
Wang Xin stared at me, “What’re you laughing at?”
I blatantly said, “Captain Wang, it’s not that I’m undermining our analysts, but don’t say half a month. Even if they had half a year, they won’t be able to find the Blood Scythes’ training facility. The Blood Scythes aren’t as simple as we think of them to be. Shen Bing hacked into their network, and they immediately set a trap against us. I can say that their tactics are not inferior to ours by one bit. This group is not simple at all. They must have an even more powerful group supporting them behind the scenes. Everything is not as simple as we think it is.”
Shen Bing shivered and nodded. “Think about it like this. They were able to prepare this kind of trap within 24 hours of me hacking into their network. So they must have some kind of expert supporting them.”
I continued, “So? Besides Wei Fan, all the higher ups in Blood Scythe have erased all of their traces and disappeared. We can’t do anything about them. We have nowhere to start and all we have are groundless reports. In the end, we won’t be gaining anything.”
Wang Xin replied, “Then what do you plan to do then?”
“There’s one more lead.”
“What lead?”
