"The luckiest thing is that our leader is alive. Don't expect too much. When she comes back, she will definitely return to our side. How could she bear to abandon us, her brothers who have gone through thick and thin with her?"
At this moment, Gu Yao no longer had the dejected look she had when she left M Continent. In fact, after taking a walk around outside, she had already accepted the fact that Phantom was no longer there.
Now, the sudden news that Phantom was still alive excited her greatly.
All she could think about now was taking on missions; she wanted to bring the Shadow Alliance back to its peak before Phantom returned.
When Qi Ze heard the news that Mei Ying was alive, he wasn't as optimistic as Gu Yao. He felt that there were only two possibilities for Mei Ying's survival without contacting them immediately: either Mei Ying was still in danger, or Mei Ying was too badly injured and his body was restricting his movements.
Neither of these two possibilities is a good thing. He only has one thought now, which is to rescue the Phantom, but he has no clue where the Phantom is.
He doesn't know where Phantom is now, nor how to contact her. The chip inside Phantom's body is gone. He can't imagine how badly Phantom was injured. Their unique chip only appears after the body turns to ashes.
As Qi Nian drove into the tunnel, wanting to discuss his recent investigation results with Gu Yao, Gu Yao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly screamed.
"Qi Nian, the boss messaged me again. She wants me to investigate Wen Jinggan's company and intercept a shipment of goods belonging to Wen Jinggan... to deliver to the Medical Research Institute under the name of Ghost Hand..."
Upon hearing Gu Yao's words, Qi Nian turned his head to look at her, and spoke in a serious tone mixed with disbelief.
"In Ghost Hand's name? Could it be that Boss is with Ghost Hand right now? But I recently heard that Ghost Hand's hand was injured. Could it be that he was injured while saving Boss?"
In that instant, Qi Nian considered many possibilities. If Phantom was with Ghost Hand, there was indeed no need to worry about Phantom's safety.
But now Ghost Hand is also injured, does that mean both Ghost Hand and Phantom are in danger...?
"Gu Yao, ask the boss about her current situation and whether she is available. If possible, I want to personally bring her and Ghost Hand back together. There is no safer place than the Shadow Alliance headquarters right now."
After listening to Qi Nian's words, Gu Yao nodded in agreement. Since the Shadow Alliance moved to the new base, all the defenses have been strengthened, and indeed there is no place safer than their headquarters.
Following Qi Ze's instructions, Gu Yao sent a message to Mei Ying and quickly received a reply.
"I'm fine now. I have my own things to take care of. If I need anything from you, I'll contact you. Don't worry about me..."
Wen Lu is currently on F Continent's territory, and it's impossible for the Shadow Alliance to risk their lives to find her. Moreover, she has no plans to acknowledge them yet. Wen Lu's identity is her best cover, and it's not time for it to be exposed.
Upon returning to the base, Gu Yao began investigating Wen Jinggan's information as instructed by Wen Lu.
While investigating Wen Jinggan, she had a strange feeling, so she picked up her phone and sent a message to Wen Lu.
"Boss, what's your grudge against Wen Jinggan? That girl I recently met, she has a deep grudge against Wen Jinggan, he even wanted to hire an assassin to kill her..."
After Gu Yao sent the message, she thought of Wang Jinyu's secret hiding of Mei Ying's photos. She picked up her phone again and sent a message to Mei Ying.
"Boss, I'll let you in on a little inside tidbit: the leader of the W organization seems to have a thing for you. He's keeping a photo of you in his office drawer!"
Wen Lu, who was playing a game, saw the message from Gu Yao. Her hand trembled involuntarily, and her character in the game died instantly. She immediately quit the game.
She clicked on Gu Yao's profile picture on WeChat, looked at the message Gu Yao had sent, and replied with a string of ellipses.
After thinking for a moment, he replied very seriously.
"He has no other intentions towards me besides wanting to kill me, so don't overthink it..."
After replying to Gu Yao's message, Wen Lu had no intention of continuing to play games. She threw her phone aside, walked to the equipment she had set up, and hacked into the surveillance footage of the hotel where Lyle was staying, wanting to check Lyle's whereabouts.
After returning to Beijing, Wang Jinyu did not go back to the Wang family home, but went directly to his apartment. He slept in the apartment for a whole day before getting up to deal with matters in Beijing.
Wang Xiuren was slightly taken aback when he received the news that Wang Jinyu had returned to Beijing. They had been betting on when Wang Jinyu would return to the capital, but he hadn't expected him to come back yesterday.
Upon hearing the news of Wang Jinyu's return to Beijing, the Beijing social circle was in an uproar. Everyone who could hang out with Wang Jinyu started arranging dinner parties, but it was unclear whose invitation Wang Jinyu would accept.
While processing documents, Wang Jinyu looked at the invitations in the WeChat group and narrowed his eyes slightly.
If it were before, he probably would have refused without even thinking, but not now. He needs alcohol to numb himself and the bright lights and bustling nightlife to distract himself.
Wang Jinyu twirled his phone on his fingertip, opened the group chat, and sent a message.
"Meet me at 6 PM on the 13th floor of the Earl's House."
This simple message caused an uproar in the group chat. Everyone was eager to go see Wang Jinyu at the Earl's.
Especially the socialites in Beijing's elite circles, all of them put down their work and rushed to the mall to buy an outfit suitable for tonight, preparing to make a glamorous appearance in front of Wang Jinyu.
When Wang Jinyu appeared at the Earl's that evening, all those who had arrived at the venue beforehand with him stood up to greet him.
Among them were Wang Jinyu's brothers, Shen Yinan and Jiang Tuo, who quickly stepped forward upon seeing Wang Jinyu.
"I didn't expect you to actually come. I thought you were joking with us. What's gotten into you today? You're willing to have dinner with us."
Shen Yinan grew up with Wang Jinyu and was good friends with Yan Luo and Ling He. However, unlike Yan Luo, he joined the Shen Group after graduation and did not have the opportunity to follow Wang Jinyu around. He could only occasionally have a meal with Wang Jinyu when Wang Jinyu returned to Beijing.
But today, Wang Jinyu took the initiative to organize the gathering, which really surprised him, as Wang Jinyu had never liked such social engagements before.
"It's been so long since we ate out together. We just happened to have some time today, so it shouldn't surprise you all so much, right?"
Wang Jinyu chuckled as he looked at Shen Yinan, put his hand on Shen Yinan's shoulder, took a cigarette from Shen Yinan's hand, put it in his mouth, lit it, took a deep drag, and then exhaled a smoke ring, giving everyone the impression of someone who was carefree and unconventional.
