Bai Hongwei heard from the guards that Commander Mei had threatened to shoot them, but Zuo Ling and her brother didn't respond to him. They must have angered Commander Mei so much that he took his anger out on Xiao Hao.
Zuo Ling was speechless.
Take your anger out on us! Bullying a child, what kind of skill is that?
Pei Nansheng wasn't as angry as Zuo Ling. It was a good thing that Xiao Hao wasn't going with them. He also had some doubts about his second uncle's sudden visit.
If it's a trap, we can't just throw everything away.
Seeing that the two were determined to go, Bai Hongwei stopped trying to persuade them. Besides, he couldn't persuade them anyway, so why bother them?
"Be careful, don't be silly and walk headfirst into the trap, or you'll be in big trouble."
This doesn't sound like concern; it sounds more like gloating.
Zuo Ling countered sharply:
"You'd better be careful. There are definitely people in the base who are in cahoots with Elder Ding. If you don't get rid of that black hand, your life will be in danger."
"Okay, let's all be careful."
Bai Hongwei readily accepted good advice.
After finishing his meal at Zuo Ling's house, Bai Hongwei hurriedly headed back.
After hearing his son's words, Bai Liguo's expression turned solemn. Someone in the base was in cahoots with Elder Ding?! Who was that person?
Judging from what their son said, the fact that they were able to receive the information so quickly indicates that they have already infiltrated very deeply.
What exactly are they trying to do?
"Who knows about this?"
“I haven’t told anyone else except Zuo Ling and Pei Nansheng. However, with such a large operation today, it’s inevitable that it will be noticed by those with ulterior motives.”
"Old Mei..."
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Liguo chuckled. How could Old Mei not know?
The entire base is under the control of the Mei family. The Bai family is too scattered, and their influence in the base is not as great as that of the Mei family.
"You're doing this..."
The father and son plotted until midnight before finally resting.
The next morning, after leaving enough growth hormone for two months, Zuo Ling and Pei Nan left the base.
They had barely left the base when the mysterious figure received the news. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and muttered to himself:
"It's good that they left. Now that they're gone, I'm one step closer to success. If they hadn't left, I really wouldn't have dared to make a move."
The room was silent for a long time, then a long sigh escaped: "Hopefully, the old man from the Ding family will be reliable, otherwise..."
Otherwise, what follows will be a long period of silence.
Three days later, Zuo Ling and Pei Nansheng appeared in a remote mountain area far from human habitation.
The brother and sister were both dressed in camouflage, their faces painted with face paint, and their heads were topped with messy, dry grass.
Pei Nansheng was observing through binoculars. Zuo Ling was lying on her back, chewing on a blade of grass, her eyes opening and closing intermittently.
There are large, obvious signs of human intervention at the foot of the opposite cliff. If it weren't for the shortage of firewood and the fact that all the trees in the area had been cut down, it would be really hard to find.
After waiting a while and seeing that Pei Nansheng hadn't moved, Zuo Ling asked lazily, "How much longer do we have to keep an eye on him?"
"Leave me some food and drink, then you can go into the space."
Pei Nansheng answered without moving.
Zuo Ling flipped the page immediately. "I'm asking, how much longer should we observe them?"
Pei Nansheng turned to look at her, "At least a week."
"Ah, that took so long."
Zuo Ling didn't think it would take that long; she was always rough when she fought.
Given her temperament, she would have simply gone to their door and confronted them; there was no need to go through all that trouble.
"It's always better to be safe than sorry. We should always look for patterns, just in case it's a trap."
Zuo Ling leaned closer, staring into Pei Nansheng's eyes:
"You're only thinking about this now? If I ask you, the chances of it being a trap are over 90%..."
"So what? I'm determined to get in."
Pei Nansheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Why don't you stay inside? If I haven't come out in two hours, something must have happened. You can go back to base by yourself."
The Grand Elder's personal involvement suggests thorough preparation; once they step into someone else's trap, it will be difficult for them to escape unscathed.
Zuo Ling rolled her eyes at him: "What are you talking about? We've come this far, and I can't just abandon you. You can do that, but I can't."
Pei Nansheng said solemnly:
"I've never told you this, but that day by the stream, I... I had a bad feeling too, like I couldn't breathe, like I was suffocating. You were washing fish behind my back, so you didn't see it. Really, that feeling was so real."
Zuo Ling patted him:
"I don't feel that way at all. When it comes to superpowers, you're no match for me anymore. Don't overthink it."
But actually, she had a bad feeling before coming. Since it involved Pei Nansheng and Xiao Hao's mother, she had to go anyway, so Zuo Ling didn't say anything.
Hearing that Pei Nansheng also had a bad feeling, Zuo Ling's eyes darkened. Damn it, the feeling of palpitations came again.
