As Xu Shi said.
Shenhe's life has not been ideal lately.
Nearly two weeks have passed since Luo Zhikang went missing. Coupled with the closed doors of the stronghold and the disappearance of the bodyguards, even a fool would know that something had happened to him.
Shen He could also guess that this was the work of "Snake Ring" again.
This relentless pressure left him breathless, but what puzzled him even more was why the other party was always able to so accurately grasp his vital points.
Xia Wuyou was one thing, since she worked at "Snake Ring"... but what happened next was rather bizarre.
The raid on the factory in District 13 was a private deal between him and He Yuqiang, and no third party should have been aware of it.
Not to mention that he launched his operation the very next day after making the decision, all in order to catch the enemy off guard.
However, the "Snake Ring" seemed to have anticipated this, deploying a large number of additional personnel for defense, which resulted in the Snake Ring paying a heavy price.
Luo Zhikang's story is even more outrageous. The old man lived in anonymity for nearly ten years, quietly hiding in a corner of District 12, and was never noticed by anyone.
This shows how well he hid it... Even Shen He himself was quite surprised when he learned that he was still alive.
But shortly after "Sea Crane" was handed over to him, the people of "Snake Ring" kidnapped him.
All of this gave Shenhe a certain feeling.
The people behind the scenes have a detailed grasp of the situation and, based on this, have made all the necessary arrangements in advance.
The others were simply following the route he had planned.
This is also what Shenhe finds most incomprehensible—even the "Tianhe" of yesteryear could not have possessed such a level.
So, what gives Xu Shi the right to do this?
Shen He didn't believe that the playboy had such abilities, but the facts before him forced him to accept it.
From the moment he began his operation against "Snake Ring," his once smooth-sailing life took a sharp turn for the worse.
Despite expending a great deal of manpower and resources, nothing was gained in the end, and the only operation that could be called a "success" was quickly extinguished.
The successive failures dealt him a huge blow. The foundation that "Spark" had painstakingly built up was largely worn away, and several of its most important talents were either killed or injured.
Not to mention, he also personally experienced the heartless betrayal of someone he cherished.
Tsk...
Just then, the communicator on my wrist beeped.
"Chief, Chief! Lei Song is awake!"
!
This was probably the best news Shenhe had heard recently, and without thinking too much, he rushed over.
Lying in his hospital bed, Lei Song was still very weak. His extensive burns and the loss of his arm made him look somewhat frightening.
"leader……"
"It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake."
Shen He breathed a sigh of relief. "You're still very weak. Get some rest first."
"...It is my incompetence that has let you down."
Lei Song was deeply moved upon hearing this, but then became somewhat agitated, "It's all that damned woman from the Inspection Bureau's fault! I'll chop her into eight pieces sooner or later!"
The hatred of losing an arm is truly irreconcilable.
"Uh-huh."
Shen He nodded in agreement, but he knew in his heart that this matter would not be easy to handle.
He also learned about the extensive media coverage of this matter these past few days, and that the person who arrived at the scene was Director Tang Shuang from the Inspection Bureau.
Dealing with her would probably be no easier than dealing with "Snake Ring".
At least for now, he doesn't have the strength or energy for it.
But that's not what he cares about most.
"I saw on the news that there was another person present at the time, and they were eventually listed as a wanted criminal along with you?"
He asked curiously, "That shouldn't be one of ours... Did he save you?"
"right."
When his savior was mentioned, Lei Song's attitude softened considerably. "If it weren't for his help, I probably wouldn't be alive today."
"But I injured my eyes back then, so I couldn't see clearly. I only knew him..."
As he listened to his intermittent narration, Shen He's expression gradually became somewhat strange.
He already had some doubts when he saw the wanted notice published by the inspection bureau.
Combining this with what Lei Song said, it feels like... this person is Xia Wuyou?
He had roughly learned about Xia Wuyou's supernatural ability after the defeat at the Birchwood Plains—it was related to gravity and very similar to this armored man.
But hadn't she already chosen to stand on Xu Shi's side? So why did she step in to save him in this critical moment?
This contradictory behavior truly puzzled Shen He. Could it be that she was merely feigning compliance with Xu Shi? And that what happened before was also out of necessity?
...Or perhaps this was another arrangement by Xu Shi, with some other scheme hidden behind it?
He wholeheartedly wanted to believe the first scenario, but reason compelled him to lean towards the second.
This psychological struggle is undoubtedly painful.
"Chief, speaking of which, how's the drone situation going?"
Lei Song, unaware of his thoughts, asked what he was concerned about, "Old Luo, ptooey, has Mr. Luo solved it yet?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Shenhe was speechless.
Lei Song had just woken up, and he really couldn't bear to tell him, nor was he comfortable with it, that the thing he had almost risked his life for had gone down the drain.
Even Luo Zhikang himself...
However, while he was organizing his thoughts, someone else had already answered for him.
A bullet shattered the glass of the ward and passed straight between the two people.
