Super Invincible Battleship
Chapter 1007

Chapter 1007: Chapter 404: Protection Evacuation _2 Chapter 1007: Chapter 404: Protection Evacuation _2 Gu Xiaolan sighed and said, “Liuyun, you've also received the news, Yan Fei had previously reached multiple cooperation agreements with the state, so Yan Fei is now a state guest, and absolutely cannot come to harm. Even if Yan Fei does show up here later, I can only scare him away at most, I would never shoot to kill him.”

Zhuge Liuyun suddenly threw away the bottle in his hand and said somewhat uncontrollably, “Yan Fei and Lu Pingping have mediocre talents; they are as ordinary as you can get, yet we are the real geniuses. Back in university, we have always been far above them. But look at them now, with that lousy Enterprise they started, they've become state guests, even getting to participate in proposing and discussing major national affairs, while we, the true geniuses, can only squat here bored, waiting for something to happen. It's not fair at all.”

Gu Xiaolan tried to persuade him, “Liuyun, Yan Fei and Lu Pingping are indeed very successful. But our achievements are not low either! For example, you are the China's Famous detective, a part of the Four Major, terrifying criminals everywhere. In this regard, Yan Fei and Lu Pingping are far behind you.”

Zhuge Liuyun said, “But you are the real China's Famous detective, I am only an imposter.”

Gu Xiaolan said, “We two are one and the same, inseparable. So all that is mine is also yours, you are the real China's Famous detective too.”

Zhuge Liuyun then fell silent for a while before saying, “Xiaolan, do you really think I'm not up to it anymore? Although I no longer have the genius abilities I used to have, it's only temporary. I will recover soon, and when I do, I'll still be a super genius, I will become the true China's Famous detective.”

Gu Xiaolan's face darkened, feeling that the Zhuge Liuyun before her had become unfamiliar, no longer the super genius of their university days. No matter what Zhuge Liuyun turned into, he was still the person Gu Xiaolan liked the most, thus she could only continue with her persuasive efforts.

Just as Gu Xiaolan was about to speak, Zhuge Liuyun's mobile phone suddenly rang. Taken aback, he put down the bottle and walked to the other side of the room to answer the call. After a few words, he hung up and looked at Gu Xiaolan with a puzzled expression.

Gu Xiaolan asked, “Liuyun, what happened?”

Zhuge Liuyun replied, “The organization has ordered us to withdraw from here immediately and to stop providing security for Yang Liu.”

Gu Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief and, without asking why, immediately placed the strange firearm that was extending out the window on the bed and began to disassemble it.

Zhuge Liuyun, puzzled, said, “What is the organization trying to do? Just half an hour ago, they instructed Sun Gang, a guest cavalier of the China Special Duties Unit, to leave Yang Liu and reassign him elsewhere for a security mission. Now they are telling us to withdraw from here. Without us, wouldn't Yang Liu be left without any protection?”

Gu Xiaolan, while disassembling the gun, explained, “Our withdrawal can only mean one thing–it signifies that the state is thoroughly disappointed with Yang Liu's actions, and the higher-ups have decided to give up on Yang Liu. You and Sun Gang were the core force protecting Yang Liu. Once we leave the Yang Family villa complex, even though there are many other bodyguards around Yang Liu, they will no longer be able to ensure his safety.”

Zhuge Liuyun said, “But why is it that only tonight did they lift Yang Liu's protective measures? If they had decided to give up on Yang Liu before, why didn't they relocate us from here a few days ago?”

Gu Xiaolan replied, “The meeting had not ended in the past few days, and the higher-ups had to consider international repercussions. Now that the meeting is over and the attention is not as high, they don't have that consideration anymore, and naturally, we would be redeployed.”

Zhuge Liuyun, frowning, suddenly said, “The organization has only asked us to leave here and no longer provide security for Yang Liu, but they didn't say we couldn't do other things.”

Gu Xiaolan asked, “Liuyun, what are you planning to do?”

Zhuge Liuyun said, “I'm certain Yan Fei will try to kill Yang Liu tonight, so we can hide near the quadrangle courtyard where Yan Fei is staying. As soon as we hear that Yang Liu has been killed, we'll storm into Yan Fei's courtyard and are bound to find evidence of Yan Fei killing Yang Liu there. This way, we can expose Yan Fei's conspiracy right to his face, capture him, and bring him to justice. In doing so, we wouldn't have violated the organization's orders, and we could still bring a murderer to justice–it's perfect.”

Gu Xiaolan frowned and said, “Liuyun, you need to control yourself and not let other emotions cloud your judgment. Haven't you realized it by now? Yan Fei and Dream Island hold enormous value, and the reason the state pulled away the protection around Yang Liu was to avoid a direct conflict with Yan Fei. If you go after Yan Fei now, even if you really capture evidence of his murder, you will face significant political risk.”

A resolute expression appeared on Zhuge Liuyun's face as he said, “That's not necessarily the case. If I truly catch Yan Fei red-handed, I could use that leverage to obtain great benefits for the country. By that time, not only will the state not trouble me, but they will also promote me to a higher official rank.”

Looking at an excited Zhuge Liuyun, Gu Xiaolan felt a pang of sorrow. The more outstanding Yan Fei and Lu Pingping's performances were, the more unbalanced Zhuge Liuyun, who had been overshadowed by them in university, felt, and the more he wanted to bring Yan Fei and Lu Pingping down. So, when there was a possibility of seizing Yan Fei's weakness, Zhuge Liuyun would fight desperately like a man possessed, losing the calm and wise reasoning he once had.

When humans are dominated by negative emotions, they tend to make decisions they'll regret for life. However, Gu Xiaolan, understanding Zhuge Liuyun's personality, couldn't directly oppose him; she could only try to persuade him slowly afterwards.

Yan Fei, engrossed in his subterranean pursuit, was unaware of the situation on the surface and was rapidly advancing underground, quickly covering 40 kilometers.

In reality, the straight-line distance between the quadrangle courtyard where Yan Fei lived and the Yang Family villa complex was less than 5 kilometers, but Yan Fei had traveled 40 kilometers because, in planning his route, he made full use of several unconnected underground passages. As a result, his actual path was winding, which is why he ended up traveling an extra 35 kilometers.

However, it was precisely because Yan Fei made full use of the underground passages that his movements became even more erratic and secretive, going completely undetected. Even Gu Xiaolan, with all her vigilance, was guarding against threats from above the ground, and even the sky–she couldn't fathom that Yan Fei might attack from below.

Guided by the 3D map in his mind, Yan Fei quickly arrived at the end of the underground passage, which led to a hard rock wall.

Standing in front of the wall, Yan Fei ran his hands over the rock, sensing its incredible hardness, almost as if it were indestructible. But Yan Fei knew that this wall was actually only two meters thick and that breaking through it would allow him to enter the underground hot spring behind it.

Having already planned his actions, Yan Fei merely examined the rock wall, then took out a compact drilling machine from the Universal Space and began to bore through the wall. When making the drilling machine, Yan Fei had equipped it with a silencer, so despite its rapid progress, it made hardly any noise.

With his formidable strength and the powerful drilling machine, in just a few minutes, Yan Fei broke through the wall. Scalding hot spring water gushed out through the opening. Yan Fei put away the drill and swiftly dove into the hot spring. He then quickly placed a steel plate, prepared in advance, over the hole, using the terrifying pressure inside to plug the opening and prevent further outflow.

After dealing with the erupting hot spring, Yan Fei moved swiftly through the horizontal passage ahead. With a depth of 300 meters below the surface, the water temperature here exceeded 90 degrees Celsius, and the surrounding water pressure was tremendous. Fortunately, Yan Fei had anticipated this and had specially crafted a diving suit that not only insulated heat but also withstandstood pressure, allowing him to move freely in the 90-degree Celsius hot spring at a depth of 300 meters.
