2:15.
A black sedan was parked across the street from the Night Watch headquarters building.
The car window was slowly rolled down. A young man sat in the driver's seat, looking towards the emergency exit of the Night Watchman Building.
He was none other than Xiao Shen, sent by the slightly overweight man to meet him.
Xiao Shen opened his communicator and reported the situation: "That kid hasn't shown up yet. Hmm, I'll wait another 25 seconds. If he still hasn't escaped by then..."
Just then, the emergency exit door opened.
Chen Wei rushed out from inside in a panic.
It was past 2 a.m., and the streets were deserted. Chen Wei looked very flustered as he ran towards the road.
Xiao Shen was taken aback, then said, "Boss, he really escaped... Okay, I understand."
Chen Wei immediately spotted the black sedan parked across the street and recognized it as the license plate number of the gene company.
He rushed over, opened the car door, and climbed inside.
Without saying a word, Xiao Shen stepped on the gas, and the car shot off and quickly drove away.
Chen Wei sat in the back seat of the car, patting his chest repeatedly and panting heavily, his clothes completely soaked with sweat.
As Xiao Shen drove, he glanced at Chen Wei in the back seat through the rearview mirror and asked, "Were you discovered when you escaped?"
"Hmm." Chen Wei gritted his teeth: "It's that Lin Nai again. I'm so unlucky. I ran into him on his way back to headquarters after completing his mission when I escaped... Luckily, I had a backup plan. I used two poison gas smoke bombs and managed to escape."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Shen became somewhat worried and checked the rear of the car through the rearview mirror, fearing that someone might be following them.
"Don't worry, he wasn't on guard and inhaled my poison gas bomb."
Chen Wei said, "You know the power of advanced poison smoke bombs. Not to mention someone like him who is below level 2, even a level 9 superhuman can be easily taken down."
"By the time the other Night's Watchmen were alerted and came out to chase after us, they had already lost track of us."
Xiao Shen nodded.
Even so, Xiao Shen still drove cautiously all the way to the outskirts of the city and left Yecheng.
After escaping the city's surveillance coverage, they switched to a completely different car in the suburbs, one that had been prepared beforehand, and drove back.
When we drove back to Yecheng, we drove around on deserted plains for at least six hours to make sure there was no possibility of any tailing.
Back when Xiao Shen was in the Dimensional Army, he was a reconnaissance soldier. His extraordinary profession is best known for reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance. No one below level 10 can track him for such a long time without being detected.
However, there wasn't a single Level 10 transcendent being in the entire Yecheng.
This is also why the slightly overweight man sent him out to meet Chen Wei.
By the time they drove back to the gene company's secret base, it was already the next morning.
Xiao Shen took Chen Wei to meet the manager of the Yecheng branch of the gene company.
That's the man in the suit who was previously referred to as "boss" by the slightly overweight man.
The room was dimly lit, and besides Chen Wei and Xiao Shen, there were three other people.
Besides the supervisor, there was also the slightly overweight man and a tall, thin man.
The manager sat in his office chair, which slowly turned around.
Upon seeing Chen Wei, he said coldly, "This time, you failed. You promised me you would never fail."
Chen Wei shrugged: "Everyone fails. Everyone makes mistakes. There are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Failure is perfectly normal."
"Oh?" the supervisor said, "It's a bit surprising that you would say something like that."
"Actually, you should be the ones to blame," Chen Wei said casually. "The mercenaries you hired were far too weak. More than a dozen mercenaries were defeated by a kid who wasn't even level 2. Tsk tsk tsk... Look at the kind of people you hired!"
The supervisor's eyes narrowed, and his hand on the armrest of his office chair tightened slightly: "You still have the nerve to say that? Didn't you call yourself the number one superhuman hacker in Yecheng? In the end, not only did you fail to hack into someone else's system, but you were also hacked back. If it weren't for your mistake, would we have failed?"
Chen Wei smiled and did not refute, seemingly without any remorse.
"Buzzing"
At that moment, the slightly overweight man's system phone rang.
The slightly overweight man's eyes widened immediately when he opened the control panel and saw the caller ID.
"What's wrong?" the supervisor asked, turning his head. "Whose call was that?"
"Boss..." The slightly overweight man frowned, "It's Lin Nai calling."
He had previously tried to recruit Linnaeus into the gene company and exchanged phone numbers with him.
He later joined the Night's Watch, thinking he would never need that phone number again.
But then he called...
The supervisor raised an eyebrow.
The slightly chubby man said, "Boss, after those otherworldly bandits were captured and confessed, the Night Watch has been investigating us. I think this kid is probably calling because of Chen Wei's prison break tonight."
"It's alright," the supervisor said calmly. "We have the company's backing. As long as there's no evidence, even the Yan government can't do anything to us. Just accept it, don't be guilty, and deny everything to the death."
"yes."
Upon hearing this, the slightly overweight man answered the phone.
Linna's voice came from the other end of the system phone: "Hello."
"..." The slightly chubby man was silent for a moment, then revealed a sly smile: "Oh, it's Lin Nai... I didn't expect you to call me... Are you thinking of switching jobs to our gene company because you feel you can't stay at the Night Watchman anymore?"
"Stop pretending," Lin Nai said slowly. "I know Chen Wei was taken away by you."
The slightly chubby man: "...Hehe, what is Lin Nai saying? Why can't I understand a word of it?"
Linna ignored him and continued, "Those otherworldly bandits who attacked us before were also sent by you, right? They have already confessed that their purpose was not to rob us, but to use this as a pretext to capture the apostles, which means they wanted to capture me."
The slightly chubby man narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "Linnai, you need to have evidence when you do things. You Night Watchmen are employed by the authorities, so you should have even more evidence, shouldn't you?"
Linnaeus: "Evidence? Isn't the evidence right in front of you?"
The slightly overweight man didn't understand Lin Nai's words and frowned slightly: "What did you say...?"
He slowly raised his head and saw Chen Wei staring at him with a cold smile.
The slightly overweight man's pupils gradually dilated, as if he had realized something.
"Bang!"
Just then, someone rushed in from outside, saying in a panic, "Boss, a lot of night watchmen have surrounded this place!"
