After leaving the red-light district, Yuanfeng noticed that the people around him seemed a bit strange.
Before he could say anything, someone next to him interrupted, "Yuanfeng, get me the best computer, as soon as possible."
"Yes, miss."
Back at the M organization, she went into seclusion, locking herself in her room with her prepared computer. After that, the door to that room was rarely opened.
Soon, a day or two passed, and Shen Cimo looked at the tightly closed door with a face full of anxiety.
"During this period of time, did Qiqi come out?"
Yuanfeng shook his head in response, "No, apart from the servants bringing her three meals a day, the door has never been opened, and there's no sound coming from inside, it's very quiet."
"This isn't a solution."
Shen Cimo looked somewhat annoyed. Without thinking, he raised his hand to knock on the door, but to his surprise, the door opened by itself. Looking down, he saw a spirited young woman staring straight at him.
"Brother, I'd like to postpone the course that teaches your technical department two days, is that alright? I have something to take care of right now."
"Of course." Shen Cimo agreed without any hesitation.
Having gotten the answer she wanted, Qi Jiu smiled and turned to leave. As she left, she didn't forget to carry a small laptop with her.
"Miss Qi, this is..."
Yuan Feng was completely baffled by the person who disappeared in just two seconds.
"Judging from her posture, it wouldn't be fitting for her to come back without a life on her hands. Just watch, when she returns, she'll be a hero again."
Shen Cimo shook his head with some emotion, leaving the people of Yuanfeng stunned.
At the entrance of the manor, Qi Jiu saw the convoy speeding towards her from a distance stop in front of her and went straight up.
"Master, the location you provided has been determined, and we've gathered quite a few brothers. We can head straight there."
Qi Jiu hummed in agreement, turned on her computer, and then remained silent.
As time passed, Qi Jiu looked at the abandoned little manor in front of her and chuckled.
If it weren't for hacking, we wouldn't have discovered that this abandoned manor deep in the mountains could also serve as their base. It's incredible that they could survive in such a dilapidated environment.
Wu Wang turned to look at the girl and asked softly, "Master, should we...?"
"No rush, Zero still has a team outside, let's wait a bit."
When the time is right.
And so, a group of people hid in a secluded spot, and the abandoned manor remained quiet.
Qi Jiu wasn't in a hurry. She just held her computer and waited, even opening a web-based mini-game while she was waiting. She could hear cartoon voices coming from it from time to time.
Wu Wang, who witnessed everything: "..."
This was the nth time he had remarked that people were truly in a position of power; their mentality and methods were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
As time passed, the girl stretched lazily, looking at the victory icon on her computer screen.
Looking at the phone that suddenly lit up, he stretched his wrists and neck, his voice cold and clear.
"Prepare!"
At her command, everyone who was ready rushed out, while she herself walked slowly behind, looking at the surrounding scenery as if she were admiring the view.
Unlike her brothers who barged directly into the main building of the manor, she slowly walked towards the garden, her movements leisurely, making it seem as if it were her own backyard.
Her right hand reached to her waist, and a very exquisite dagger appeared in her hand. She continued to play with it as she strolled through the back garden.
Because the place had been abandoned for a long time, the back garden was covered with dust and fallen leaves, and overgrown with weeds, making it look messy.
If you come here at night, you'll find it a bit scary.
Wu Wang and a few of his brothers followed behind the girl, watching her leisurely.
Qi Jiu lowered her eyes to look at the message Qi Silin had sent her on her phone, and a slow smile appeared on her lips. "Wu Wang, take your men and search the side building. Report anything unusual immediately."
Wu Wang was taken aback by the indifferent tone, then nodded and turned to leave.
Not long after they left, the brothers behind them looked at the desolate outbuilding in front of them and lowered their voices.
"Brother Wuwang, is our master sleepwalking, looking so nonchalant?"
Wu Wang, who had heard everything, was speechless.
Do you want to hear what you're saying? Sleepwalking? Is this acceptable? If the master hears this, I might as well run back to headquarters today.
"What do you know? There shouldn't be anything in this side building. The master just sent us here to go through the motions."
He paused for a moment. "Even so, you must search carefully."
Meanwhile, on the other side, a slender figure appeared in the pavilion. Looking at the dust on the stone bench, she simply wiped it lightly and sat down, not caring at all whether it was clean or not.
He had been observing the eyes around him, but the vibrating phone in his hand brought him back to reality. Looking at the contact name, a slow smile crept onto his lips.
“Ah Lin”.
The girl's voice was soft, warming the heart of the person on the other end. "I've successfully stopped Zero's team outside; not a single one is left. Have your men already gone in?"
Qi Jiu hummed in agreement, looked around at her surroundings, and sighed.
"It's almost over."
Whether this statement was a sigh or meant for himself, it carried a sense of indifference.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Silin's expression on the other end of the line didn't change much. He just stared at his phone screen, as if he could see the person he longed for through the screen.
"I will stay with you."
As time passed, Wu Wang returned with his men.
The girl hung up the phone and walked straight towards the flower field. Finally, looking at the icon on her phone, she tapped a pile of grass on the ground with her foot, then cleared away the weeds to reveal a brick-red cover that resembled a sewer cover.
"Master, this is..."
"Hold your knives and guns tight."
Qi Jiu didn't explain much to Wu Wang's doubts, but instead said this. Upon hearing this, the people behind her subconsciously touched their lower backs.
As the lid was lifted, a dusty smell wafted out.
However, instead of the usual pipes, there were steps inside, and the dim environment felt like a bottomless pit, which instilled fear in people.
This change stunned the people behind her, but they quickly seemed to understand something as they watched the girl's resolute back.
With their phone flashlights on, the group walked in neatly.
