The attack on everyone tonight was clearly a trap.
The stalker who happened to be discovered and escaped using the intricate terrain of Plum Blossom City; that narrow path that was unfavorable for escape but advantageous for encirclement; that group of more zombies than normal; that small, interconnected, yet deserted square...
All the evidence points to the people in Plum Blossom City, and the person who most wants to get rid of them is none other than Hou Yifan.
"Brother Wu, calm down."
Qian Chuan restrained the furious Wu Fangming and calmly analyzed, "We have no evidence, they won't release them. Even if we go, it will only alert them."
Chuanliu nodded, agreeing with Qian Chuan's statement, "That's right, tonight a group of zombies attacked us. Even if we go over to question them, the Plum Blossom people can blame it all on the zombie horde."
Hou Yifan was certain we wouldn't have any evidence, which is why he wanted to use this opportunity to try and wipe us all out. This failure has made us more vigilant; at least in the short term, he won't make another move.
Wu Fangming pursed his lips, a look of resentment on his face, almost squeezing the key in his hand out of shape.
"Are we just going to let this go like this? That would be too easy on that bastard!"
The girl patted his shoulder and sighed, "This matter needs further consideration. Brother Fang Ming, let's take the team back to Spade City to rest tomorrow."
"But……"
Wu Fangming wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Chuanliu.
"Do you still remember what happened to Lei Laojiu back in Cube City?"
The girl looked into his eyes and gave him a reminder.
Lei Laojiu initially stationed a large number of his subordinates in Cube City, intending to target Wu Fangming; however, this aroused dissatisfaction among the residents of Cube City, leading to the intervention of the higher-ups in Cube City.
Previously, when Wu Fangming's team came, it could be said that "it was to rescue the boss."
But now that the "misunderstanding" has been cleared up, if anyone with ulterior motives wants to use Wu Fangming's visit to Plum Blossom City as an excuse to cause trouble, they will do the same thing Lei Laojiu did back then, stirring up trouble for no reason.
Wu Fangming gritted his teeth, understanding the situation, and could only nod.
He really needed to return to Spade City to take charge, settle the wounded and injured brothers, and make preparations for dealing with the Corpse People.
The next morning, just as dawn broke, Wu Fangming called Uncle Zhou, who was overseeing things at home, and then left with his brothers after bidding farewell to everyone.
Because there were many wounded in the team, Wu Fangming left in a hurry.
Therefore, when Xiong Ajiao, who had experienced a thrilling night, got up, Wu Fangming and his team had already disappeared.
"Honestly, the young man didn't even invite me!"
Xiong Ajiao put her hands on her hips and said angrily.
Qian Chuan smiled and said, "Isn't Brother Ajiao staying at Chuanliu's place? Let's go back to Cube City together."
Xiong Ajiao looked at the string of coins.
He was handsome, but unfortunately not his type.
She felt a pang of regret for a moment, but still nodded and said, "Okay."
Qian Chuan glanced at the four people sitting together.
He, Zhui Ming, Zhang Yi, Xiong Ajiao.
He frowned slightly and looked at Zhui Ming, asking:
"Where is the river?"
Zhuiming maintained his aloof demeanor in front of outsiders, his cold face hidden behind a black mask as he shook his head.
He assumed Qian Chuan knew.
They knocked on Chuanliu's door, but there was no response from inside.
The two immediately felt something was amiss and called the hotel receptionist, wanting to open Chuanliu's room.
Qian Chuan asked the front desk, "Has anyone checked out of this room today? A woman, long hair, wearing a hoodie, probably a head shorter than me."
The receptionist thought for a moment and then shook her head.
"The only people who stayed at our hotel last night were you and the group that checked out this morning. I didn't see the woman you mentioned."
“However…” The receptionist thought for a moment, then took one of the keys from a bunch of keys, “This room has indeed been cancelled. Are you sure the lady you're talking about is staying in this room?”
Qian Chuan nodded. Chuan Liu had stayed between his and Zhui Ming's rooms last night, so it couldn't be that someone else had stayed there.
The receptionist hesitated before saying, "I remember that everyone who checked out and left the hotel this morning was a man."
So Qian Chuan asked the front desk to open the room for Chuan Liu.
The room was completely empty, with no trace of anyone having lived there.
And the river flow has also vanished without a trace.
"Huh? I don't remember this room being cleaned before?"
The receptionist said, puzzled.
Qian Chuan and Zhui Ming immediately realized something was wrong. They rushed into the room and searched everywhere.
The hotel bed sheets were neatly made, and the closet was empty; the windows were tightly closed, and the handles were dusty, showing no signs of having been opened.
Xiong Ajiao said, "Could it be that she left with the young man's group? I think the two of them are quite close."
Qian Chuan lowered his eyes. "That's possible, but... if that's the case, it's impossible for her room to be completely untouched."
Xiong Ajiao shrugged. "Isn't that simple? Chuanliu is staying with the young man now."
It seems that after last night's life-or-death situation, Gillian Chung's obsession with male beauty has lessened considerably.
But his casual remark successfully stabbed someone present in the back.
Qian Chuan and Zhui Ming exchanged a knowing glance.
So Qian Chuan said, "We came back together last night, so at least she won't have any safety issues. Let's go back to Cube City first, and then contact Brother Wu to ask if Chuan Liu is with him."
He trusted Chuanliu's abilities, and besides, waiting around wasn't a solution. If all else failed, he could also mobilize the resources of the First Yorozuya...
The group decided to return to the City of Cubes first.
At this moment, Zhang, who had been silent all along, raised his hand and said, "Sorry, I won't be going with you."
Qian Chuan seemed unsurprised by Zhang's decision. He said earnestly, "A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. You can choose to go back with us."
The latter shook his head, as if recalling the scene before the two Zhangs died last night, "My only target is Hou Yifan. I will never be at peace if I can't get revenge."
Xiong Ajiao hesitated and said, "Zhang Yifan, you can't fight against him on your own. What's the difference between that and suicide? You have handsome guys and Chuanliu by your side, what are you afraid of?"
Zhang said in a deep voice, "I have nothing to lose, I have no value, and I don't want to owe anyone anything."
Xiong Ajiao fell silent, admitting that she couldn't make such a decision.
Qian Chuan nodded and did not stop him further.
So, Qian Chuan, Zhui Ming, and Xiong Ajiao set off during the day to return to the City of Cubes together.
