A man emerged from behind the door, his figure clearly indicating he was a man. He was dressed in all black, with a rather eerie owl-patterned mask on his face.
The masked man stopped a few meters away from Wen Lijing, standing with his hands behind his back. "You were looking for me."
Wen Lijing immediately realized that he was the person on the phone!
"Yes, I've been looking for you for a long time," Wen Lijing said coldly. "Who exactly are you? And why are you targeting Zhan Jingting?"
The masked man chuckled, "You tricked me into believing you were going to deal with Zhan Jingting, but your real purpose was to find me. You came here strapped with explosives, intending to die with me to make up for your guilt towards Qiao Wanwan, right?"
“You are indeed clever.” Wen Lijing did not deny it. “I am a dying man, and this is the only thing I can do for Qiao Wanwan. In this matter, I am unforgivable, but you are the real instigator.”
"Mr. Wen, you are indeed a man of deep affection, but it's a pity that your affection is as worthless as weeds." The man said with a cold laugh, "Are you sure you want to betray me for a woman who doesn't love you?"
"Who do you think you are, daring to compare yourself to Wanwan!" Wen Lijin said. "Take off your mask and let me see who you are!"
"Don't rush." The man slowly sat down on a chair behind him. "Tell me first how you found this place. I thought I was very well hidden. In addition to comprehensive surveillance equipment, there is also an anti-tracking system here. Logically, you shouldn't be able to find me."
“I knew you were heavily guarded. Anyone who gets close to you with a tracking device would be detected.” Wen Lijing smiled faintly. “You just don’t know that the Dijing Group has developed a new type of tracking device that is only the size of a fingernail. What’s more, it can’t be detected by any instrument.”
“This is for Jingting’s own use, so it was never released to the public. And I just happened to ask Wanwan for one a long time ago.”
The masked man pointed at the man on the sofa, "You put a tracker on him?"
"That's right."
"That's impossible!" The man stood up anxiously and clarified, "After I went to the hospital to see him, I had a thorough examination, and there's nothing wrong with me!"
Wen Lijing sneered, "I knew you were meticulous and would be wary of me. I put the tracker in the chewing gum you're stepping on."
The man lifted his foot and, sure enough, saw a piece of chewing gum stuck to the sole. He had checked everything, but he hadn't checked the sole of his shoe!
The man glared at Wen Lijin, then anxiously looked at the masked man and explained, "Boss, I'm sorry, I really didn't know... Bang!"
Before he could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out in the large room!
The masked man held a gun; although his face was not visible, one could imagine the cold indifference behind the mask.
The man next to the sofa was shot in the chest and fell to the ground.
Wen Lijing watched this scene and said with a smirk, "You're quite ruthless."
"Useless people deserve to die." A cold voice echoed, "President Wen is the same kind of person as me, and I suppose he would do the same thing in this situation."
Wen Lijing said, "I don't know what grudge you have against Zhan Jingting that you would set up such a big scheme to harm him. And you didn't kill him immediately, but tortured him instead. It seems you are very confident."
The masked man chuckled, "You don't need to trick me into revealing my identity to help Zhan Jingting. The person you should be worried about now is yourself. President Wen, for the sake of our past partnership, I'll give you a chance. Get out of here, and maybe I can let you die with some dignity."
"I'm going to die anyway, so whether I'm dignified or not is meaningless to me." Wen Lijing's expression remained unchanged. "I've already lost everything."
"If I remember correctly, you have a younger brother. You're dead now, so you're not going to care about your brother's life or death?"
“Everyone has their own destiny, and I can’t worry about that anymore.” Wen Lijing looked at him fearlessly. “However, my brother and Qiao Wanwan are good friends, so it’s easy for him to get protection from Wutong Bay. It just depends on whether you have the ability to kill him.”
The masked man laughed out loud, a laugh so sinister it was unsettling, like a venomous snake coiling around a person's neck. "Well, so you were well prepared all along. Looks like you're not planning to leave here alive today."
"Yes." A cold glint flashed in Wen Lijing's eyes. "If I don't see your true colors today, I'll die with you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Lijing strode towards the masked man!
He tried to remove the mask from the masked man's face, but the man was very skilled. He took a step to the side to avoid him and punched him hard in the face!
Wen Lijing was also trained; he dodged in time and launched another attack!
The other men quickly came to help, and Wen Lijing was outnumbered and soon subdued!
"Remove the bomb from his body!" the masked man ordered.
"Yes." The others immediately did as instructed.
A relieved smile suddenly appeared on Wen Lijing's handsome but pale face.
The masked man sensed something was wrong and stepped aside to stop it, shouting, "Wait a minute... bang!"
An explosion occurred in Beijing at a car repair shop, and the scene was horrific!
Jiang Dong immediately reported to Zhan Jingting, "Master Zhan, Wen Lijing is in trouble. He went into a car repair shop, and before he could come out, an explosion occurred. Judging from the scene, there should be no survivors. The fire department is still conducting rescue operations."
"Fortunately, the explosion did not affect the nearby residential area, and several passersby were injured and hospitalized. Our men who were secretly following Wen Lijing were also unharmed, which was a stroke of luck."
"It seems Wen Lijing has found the mastermind's hideout," Zhan Jingting said calmly. "Go and keep an eye on them. Whether they are dead or alive, find out their identities."
"Understood, I'll follow up immediately."
......
When Wen Lixuan arrived at the scene and saw the mess, his legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.
"Young Master Wen," Jiang Dong stepped forward and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Where's my brother? Jiangdong, where's my brother!"
"To be honest, our people were secretly following him. He went in here and didn't come out before the explosion happened. We've found three bodies so far, but they're all charred and unrecognizable. The forensic team is already working on it. You should go and cooperate with the DNA extraction for comparison."
Wen Lixuan's face was ashen. "You mean, one of these corpses is my brother?"
"Not necessarily. The fire department is still conducting rescue operations, and there may be more than just these three bodies. But even if they are found, the chances of survival are almost zero," Jiang Dong said truthfully.
"How could this happen..." Wen Lixuan couldn't believe it. "He promised me he would come home early and have dinner with me. He promised!"
Jiang Dong helped him up. "Calm down first. Go to the police to get your DNA."
The rescue operation finally ended around 9 p.m.
