Chapter 176 Acting Skills
By the time Feng Bai wanted to ask how they found it, they had already arrived.
Those inside could hear the car approaching from afar. They hid in a concealed spot and watched as the passengers got out of the car.
Xie Cheng recognized Feng Bai, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes as he wondered why Feng Bai would be here.
He needed to find a place to meet up with Feng Bai.
“They’re from the Huaxia base,” said the person next to Xie Cheng. “We can take this opportunity to infiltrate.”
Xie Cheng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. The person who proposed this method was named Lan Ya. Her brother had some status in the plundering, and both siblings were Chinese.
"But what if these people know who we are?" someone asked.
Lan Ya shook her head slightly and said, "We'll know once we try. Besides, our plan is confidential. With Yu Shuang and the others drawing the attention of the people at the base, the chances of us being discovered are very small."
"What if something happens to Yu Shuang?"
"What are you saying? Don't jinx it. Xie Cheng, what do you think?" Lan Ya immediately asked Xie Cheng for his opinion.
Xie Cheng thought this was a good opportunity and nodded, saying, "I think it's a good idea."
Lan Ya said, "Then it's decided. But we can't just suddenly appear in front of them, or we'll definitely arouse suspicion. So we need to create an opportunity."
Xie Cheng nodded. It didn't matter to him; as long as he could get close to Feng Bai, that was fine, and besides...
He glanced at the group of people walking into the supermarket. Although the people around Feng Bai were strangers, he recognized the people accompanying him.
If it were just Feng Bai who came, it would mean that Guan Qi sent Feng Bai to pick him up. But since Sui Cheng has appeared, it means that the base already knows about the plunder plan and his identity.
"Let's go to the warehouse." Lan Ya had already thought of a plan. Before those people found this place, they all went to the warehouse, pushed over the shelves, making a huge noise, and set it on fire.
Those who were traveling with them naturally heard it.
They exchanged a glance, and the lawyer said, "It seems those people did it on purpose."
"Let's go see what they're up to." Feng Bai led the way, heading towards the source of the sound.
As soon as they got outside the warehouse, they saw Xie Cheng and his group of men rushing out of the fire, each one covered in soot.
Lan Ya put on a dramatic performance, shouting anxiously upon seeing them, "Run!"
As they watched the group run past them, Xie Cheng, who was at the very back, quickly gave Feng Bai a few secret signals as they passed by.
Feng Bai nodded slightly and said to his entourage, "Follow them."
They left the supermarket with the group, and before leaving, they made sure to press the fire alarm, since they couldn't let the fire inside keep burning.
Lanya and the others stopped outside the supermarket.
Before the others could speak, Lan Ya preemptively asked, "We are the base's superpowered team. Are you also from the base?"
Even the lawyers couldn't help but applaud her acting skills. If they hadn't known these people's identities beforehand, they might have really been fooled.
"yes."
Feng Bai and Xie Cheng had exchanged secret signals and knew that they were deliberately faking their identities as superhumans at the base in order to sneak in several times. So they also had to pretend that they knew nothing and play along with these people.
"What's going on over there?" The servant understood Feng Bai and the others' plan and joined in the act.
Lan Ya was overjoyed, it seemed the plan had succeeded, and sighed, "We encountered a mutant inside, and after finally dealing with it, the warehouse caught fire."
They didn't sense any alien presence, so this lie was utterly poorly told.
Lan Ya sized them up and felt that they were not an ordinary team of superpowered individuals. She couldn't help but worry that they would be discovered.
Xie Cheng stepped forward promptly and said, "Our mission is complete, and we are preparing to leave."
When Lan Ya heard that she was leaving, her expression changed slightly. She tugged at Xie Cheng's hand and was about to say something when Feng Bai interrupted her.
"What a coincidence! We've also completed our mission and are heading back to base. Which district are you guys heading to, brothers?"
Hearing Feng Bai say that, Lan Ya breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't expected the opportunity to come to her so easily.
Xie Cheng said, "Let's go back to District Six."
Feng Bai nodded and said, "We are too. Why don't we travel together? We can take care of each other on the way."
He glanced at Lan Ya and the others behind Xie Cheng and said, "Your teammate seems to be injured. We have some medicine here, take it and bandage him up."
"Thank you." Xie Cheng nodded, not refusing his kindness.
Sui Ling was amazed. They were all acting masters. Even if an award-winning actor came, he probably wouldn't be able to tell that Feng Bai and Xie Cheng were pretending not to know each other.
Now that the person had been found, the passengers didn't linger there. After refueling the car, they started their return journey towards District Six.
In an attempt to get closer to the passengers, Lan Ya and her companions told them that their car had broken down, and the four of them split up and hitched rides in their car.
Xie Cheng and another man rode in Feng Bai's car, while Lan Ya and another girl rode in their car.
The main reason they noticed was that there were few people in their group, including a young girl and a child of a few years old, and it was the easiest way to get information out of such people.
"My name is Lan Ya, and her name is Ni Zi. Little sister, what's your name?"
Sure enough, as soon as they got in the car, they started talking to Ling.
Lu Zhi had already reminded Sui Ling, so Sui Ling was prepared. She smiled at them obediently and said, "Hello, sisters, my name is Cheng Jing. You can just call me Jing Jing."
When they set off for Fengcheng, Suicheng and his crew had already arranged with Feng Bai and his crew to prepare a fake name. After all, Suicheng's name was quite well-known; people at the Federation base might not recognize his face, but they might have heard of his name.
Lan Ya glanced at Wenwen in her arms and the others in front of her, and asked, "Who are these two men to you? Why are they with this child?"
Sui Ling said, "These are my brothers. The one in the passenger seat is Cheng Wen, the one driving is Cheng Zhi, and this is my nephew."
Seeing that she was so unguarded and said everything, Lan Ya sneered inwardly. Sure enough, young girls are the most innocent.
"What brings you to Fengcheng?" Lan Ya asked Sui Ling in a low voice.
Sui Ling said, "We came here after a strange species."
She lowered her head slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes, and asked Lan Ya, "What about you sisters?"
"Ah, us?" Lan Ya quickly came up with an explanation, then paused and said, "We're here to search for supplies."
Sui Ling pursed her lips. This explanation was so-so; it was obvious that she had just decided to go out.
