Chapter 394: Chapter 71: Chasing That Illusory Flame

In the darkness of the jungle, the police lights flickered. Night Execution crouched down, looking at the middle-aged woman in front of him with a twisted neck.

Seeing her eyes wide open and blood coming from her mouth and nose, she must have seen something terrible before she died.

"She died before her neck was twisted," a policeman reported. "It looks like she was scared to death, but we’ll have to wait for the coroner’s results."

"To avoid startling the snake, let’s just say she’s still on the run. Don’t withdraw the roadblocks." Night Execution responded in a low voice: "You guys are gonna be busy."

The officer laughed: "It’s no trouble. If we can catch all these scum in one swoop, it’s worth the effort. Now that we know some information about their clients, we can track them down... You guys are amazing. How did you get the information so quickly?"

Night Execution smiled without responding. The human trafficker who survived didn’t know much, saying only that the middle-aged woman known as Sister Jin knew everything. That’s why [Great Wall] had been tracking her to get information from her.

And now, the client information actually came from... Yanyun Division!

Night Execution thought about it.

"Yanyun Division got the transaction information of those clients. As expected.... Chen Guang is actually one of us...." A thought crossed his mind: "And after the [Evolution Game] update, the ’Hidden Pile’ codes were deleted everywhere, going into a deeper level of hiding."

He detected this quickly; otherwise, a [Player] who had just been attacked by [Great Wall] wouldn’t have informed the division of this information.

"Yanyun’s water is indeed deep..." He didn’t inform his teammates of this information; the fewer people who knew, the better.

"But, if a ’Hidden Pile’ takes the opportunity to vent and uses private punishment, don’t go off the rails."

...

At this moment, Li Changhe had already returned to Yanyun, taking small roads to avoid surveillance and interrogation with the box.

When they returned to Mr. Bai’s pet hospital, it was already ten o’clock at night. Mr. Bai said he had already sewed up the [Insect God’s Inner Membrane] and asked the two to come and pick it up on their way.

During [Synthesis], the effect of the items is sometimes lost, like Li Changhe’s jet Mo Blade, which weakened after multiple syntheses.

The twelve consecutive slashes became a trigger-type. Li Changhe hadn’t triggered it even once....

And the material [Winter Bone of Frost] obtained from the Sun King plot had a freezing effect, which disappeared after synthesis. It disappeared....

If [Evolution Game] had customer service, they’d be scolded every day.

To be cautious, Mr. Bai adopted the simplest and most reliable method: sewed the Insect God’s Inner Membrane inside the clothes.

During this time, Li Changhe sent the transaction information of the ’clients’ in the old-fashioned mobile phone to Luo Kai.

Li Changhe didn’t have the capacity to deal with such a large-scale, multi-provincial crime. [Great Wall] will handle it properly.

In the room, Mr. Bai looked at He Feng as he silently wiped his [Epic] rifle, feeling uneasy as he saw his mood was very wrong.

After handing over the two gray vests to the two men, he took Li Changhe out for a smoke.

That’s when the question came out.

"What’s wrong with He Qi?"

Li Changhe didn’t speak, uncharacteristically accepting Mr. Bai’s cigarette.

Mr. Bai smoked Zhongnanhai cigarettes, which were very strong. They made Li Changhe cough several times.

"I thought you didn’t smoke?" Mr. Bai was surprised. In [General Mountain], only Bai, Wang Er, and He Feng smoked.

He pulled him out just to chat, but why did he start smoking?

"Cough, cough, cough!" Li Changhe coughed in response: "I thought I’d take a few puffs to relieve my stress... but I’m just not used to it."

"What’s going on?"

"Old Bai, you know that He Feng and I came from the orphanage." Li Changhe hesitated for a moment and put out the cigarette.

"Yeah, we met you guys during [Sun Halo]. We were almost killed by you." Mr. Bai grinned.

"Actually, He Feng wasn’t an orphan at first. He wouldn’t have come to the orphanage." Li Changhe whispered: "Fourteen years ago, his mother and sister were in a car accident. The truck driver had a sudden heart attack..."

Mr. Bai took a couple puffs of his cigarette, nodding slightly. It was a tragedy....

He didn’t really know about this, and even as an ally, he wouldn’t probe into such private matters.

"The scene was chaotic; the ignited fire covered the glow of the setting sun. The firefighters took a long time to extinguish the fire. They couldn’t even find the remains..." Li Changhe spoke gloomily: "After that, He Feng was pushed around by his relatives and eventually sent to the orphanage a year later."

"What about his mother’s property?" Mr. Bai asked, noticing Li Changhe’s mocking gaze and nodded in understandin>:

"After He Feng lost his hatred for them, I didn’t have much to say." Li Changhe had wanted to do something for his friend. But since the main party didn’t care, their tires might not be safe...

"So this time..."

"Do you remember what I said?" Li Changhe lowered his voice: "They didn’t find all the remains. They didn’t find his sister’s body. He thinks she’s still alive."

"Well, wouldn’t that be a psychological consolation? There are no miracles like that in the world, are there?" Mr. Bai’s face changed as he sighed.

"I hope there is..." Li Changhe shook his head and whispered: "Once you have it, but lose it, it’s a precious thing. As long as there’s the slightest possibility, he won’t miss it."

Li Changhe was found by Old Man Yun at the door from the beginning and never experienced family love or maternal love.

It was different for He Feng, who once had everything Li Changhe envied. But now, he had lost it all irrevocably.

Now, it’s like a faint flame igniting in a dark world.

He would chase that elusive fire without considering the consequences.

Even if the fire is so elusive and illusory, he would like to explore it.

That’s his persistence.

Maybe it’s because of the unknown dream that a wandering person chases after a phantom?

But if there’s even the slightest chance....

Mr. Bai took out the old-fashioned mobile phone.

In the memo of the phone, there were transaction information of the clients.

He pressed the up-scroll button and saw rows of information, where the crimes committed by this group of human traffickers over the years were stored.

"Such heinous crimes. At least twenty families have been ruined by them." Mr. Bai frowned.

"That’s why I sent most of the information to [Great Wall]. For the last few, we just need to check them carefully."

The transaction locations were in small-town hotels or unknown mountain villages.

Mr. Bai looked at the oldest transaction locations. If he thought for the best, He Feng’s sister might be in one of these places.

Of course, there’s a greater probability that it’s all for nothing.

"I’ll look into these." Mr. Bai said.

"Thank you."

"We’re allies, don’t mention it." Mr. Bai waved his hand, looking arrogantly indifferent.
