Chapter 877: Yu Xian Is in My Hands
âThis must be the tool she used to directly communicate with Chief of Staff WangâŠâ Ling Mo rubbed his temple and reached out to pick up the Communicator. This device was quite different from the ones he usually saw; it was clearly heavily modified.
âSince itâs customized, it must be secure against eavesdropping. Maybe thereâs no limit on when calls can be made, allowing contact with that person at any time,â Xia Na commented from the side.
Li Yalin leaned in from the other side, looking down and asking, âShould we call?â
Ling Moâs expression suddenly turned somewhat eerie as he held the Communicator in silence.
Of course, Ling Mo was displeased with the mastermind who plotted against him⊠but whether he should engage in a conversation this way, he was somewhat uncertain.
Through a series of indirect contacts, Ling Mo had already formed a few impressions: cold-blooded, calculating, and decisive⊠Only someone like this could stand out among the core Members and become their leader.
Even from Su Qianrouâs attitude, it was easy to see that this man indeed had a formidable presence.
However⊠just how strong this person was, wasnât really what concerned Ling Mo. What he cared about was, what could he gain from making this call?
âNo matter how much they try to block it, the news will definitely reach Falcon Camp by tomorrow. These people probably have a routine of reporting to the Main Camp, and simultaneous issues will certainly raise alarms. A little analysis would easily reveal what happened. Second Camp here probably wonât just let these people carry on as usual, right? SoâŠâ Xia Na pinched her hair tips and said, âThe effective usage time of this Communicator is from now until about six oâclock tomorrow morning.â
âSo, you mean to say I should use this time to think about what questions I want to askâŠâ Ling Mo said.
Xia Naâs lips curled up, and she snapped her fingers: âExactly! Talking to this kind of person is definitely tiring, if you donât think it through in advance⊠Hey! Youâve already made the call?â
Silence suddenly filled the restroom, leaving only Ling Mo calmly staring into the Mirror while holding the Communicator.
After several remote confrontations, this was the first real conversationâŠ
He wondered what kind of expression the other person would have upon hearing his voiceâŠ
Judging from his approach, it seems to Ling Mo that in his eyes, Ling Mo and his company are merely insignificant bugs to be casually chased and crushed⊠Crushing them would be ideal, but failing to do so would not matter, as he could always make time to squash them laterâŠ
A few seconds later, a deep, somewhat lazy-sounding male voice came through, despite the electromagnetic interference. One could still detect the distinct tone of a Radio Host in his voiceâŠ
âHello?â
âWhatâs going on! Are you Xu Shuhanâs colleague?â Ling Mo frowned.
Considering the manâs refined appearance, Ling Mo felt an urge to punch him.
Shouldnât such a person have a crude face and be spewing vulgarities? Why doesnât his personality match his looks? Thinking about Yu Xianâs devoted demeanor⊠it truly is a superficial world!
Just as Ling Mo was about to speak, he heard a sudden âHmm?â from the other end.
âYouâre not Yu Xian, who are you?â The man asked calmly.
âDamn!â
His hearing was incredibly sharp! The problem was Ling Mo hadnât even started talking yet. How did he figure it out?
âNo need to keep it up, your breathing rate is different from Yu Xianâs, and is rougher than a womanâs, so Iâm sure youâre a man. Where is Yu Xian? Is she in danger?â The man continued. RáŒĆđđĂđą
This barrage of deductions made Ling Moâs expression darken.
Like Yu Xian, this man also possessed extraordinary hearing and strong analytical skills. Even from mere hints, they could draw many conclusions. However, this Chief of Staff Wang was obviously much more formidable than Yu Xian, suggesting that the âspecial trainingâ Yu Xian mentioned was personally taught by him.
However⊠training his own girlfriend to carry out dangerous missions was indeed reprehensible!
âListen, I donât care who you are, just donât harm Yu Xian, and Iâll make it worth your whileâŠâ Chief of Staff Wang continued.
Ling Mo sneered at that moment, interrupting him and said, âStop pretending. Offering me benefits? Who do you think you are, so confident?â
His tone might have been too harsh, as even the female Zombies turned to look.
Wang Lin covered her mouth and chuckled, âGo on, keep talking. Add a bit more emphasis and youâll sound just like a kidnapper.â
âYu Xian is in my hands,â Ling Mo declared bluntly.
âWow, you actually went through with it! Saying such terrible lines with such righteousness!â Wang Lin exclaimed in surprise.
Chief of Staff Wang fell silent at first, but he quickly responded, maintaining his tone, âWhat do you want?â
âLook, youâre quite calm. I guess when youâre silent, itâs not because youâre sad, but because youâre giving orders,â Ling Mo remarked.
âThatâs none of your business,â Chief of Staff Wang replied. âMake your demands.â
Ling Mo furrowed his brows again⊠Despite their differing stances, when that woman expressed resistance through her silence, it indeed revealed a twisted kind of love⊠A mad love that was all for herself, disregarding othersâŠ
But her sacrifice only led to Chief of Staff Wangâs continually calm, and even somewhat cold, demeanor.
After all that was said, he didnât even offer a superfluous greeting⊠And this strictly business-like attitude made Ling Mo feel a chill down his spine.
Why do people live, and what do they rely on to live⊠These questions had wandered through his mind many times.
But, the ways people survive are indeed very differentâŠ
âWill you fulfill my demands?â Ling Mo asked.
âI will,â Chief of Staff Wang quickly replied.
Ling Mo shook his head and said, âNo, you wonât. The fact that I got hold of this Communicator means I already know a lot of information. So, whether Yu Xian is dead or not, she has already lost her value for survival. You just want to kill me.â
The other party immediately fell silent. At times like this, negating what was said didnât hold much significance⊠So when he spoke again, he merely suggested, âOr perhaps we could make a deal, a mutually beneficial one. I think you wouldnât refuse that, right? To show my sincerity, I didnât even bother asking any superfluous questionsâŠâ
âNo need,â Ling Mo interrupted him again, âIâm not interested in making deals with you.â
âThen why did you call?â Chief of Staff Wang asked.
âTo confirm whether youâre really scum. Now that Iâm sure, Iâll feel even more motivated when I beat you up,â Ling Mo said coldly.
âWhat do you mean byâŠâ
âMy name is Ling Mo, remember that well, and⊠wait for me to come and beat you.â
After hanging up the Communicator, Ling Mo swiftly extracted a tiny chip from it.
âThis could be some sort of tracker⊠who knows, anything unusual is suspicious,â he casually tossed it into the toilet, saying, âGo find another dimension down the sewer.â
âYou were quite impressive just now⊠yet youâre still distracted checking the Communicator,â Xia Na said, supporting her forehead.
Ye Lian smiled dumbly at Ling Mo, obediently taking the Communicator from his hand.
Watching her gently shake the Communicator, it seemed like she wanted to shake Chief of Staff Wang right out of it and give him a good beatingâŠ
âBut⊠you did enjoy cursing him out, now he definitely knows somethingâs wrong here,â Wang Lin said worriedly.
Ling Mo raised his wrist and said, âItâs been over two hours now, and itâs deep into the night⊠The most troubling time has passed. Even if he notices something, it will take hours to investigate and confirm⊠Whatâs there to worry about?â
âI wish they would send more people so none of them can return,â Li Yalin giggled, but her words sent a chill through the roomâŠ
âThatâs unlikely⊠I guess they will still try to fight a war of resources,â Ling Mo said.
Resources had always been Falconâs advantage, but to Ling Mo now, resources were the least of his concernsâŠ
All he needed to do was figure out how to get those items out.
Inside the Falcon Camp.
In a dimly lit office, a man draped in a blanket sat expressionlessly, clutching a communicator, staring out of the window. Behind him stood a woman, equally silent.
Unlike him, the woman was dressed in a smart professional outfit and wore gold-rimmed glasses, looking meticulous and still immersed in work.
The static from the communicator sounded loud and somewhat eerie in the quiet room.
âChief of Staff?â the woman suddenly spoke.
The manâs fingers began to tighten around the communicator, turning his knuckles a bit white, and the device started making a faint âclickâ sound.
After a dozen seconds, he exhaled sharply and asked, âHave all the people sent to hunt him down disappeared?â
âYes,â the woman nodded.
âNo wonderâŠâ His grip tightened further. âNo wonder he managed to call me directly.â
âChief of Staff, their combat ability should not be underestimated. Even though they are few in number, their battle experience is indeed extensive,â the woman observed.
âItâs too late,â the man said, releasing the communicator and leaning back in his chair. âThat pawn is completely useless now. Weâll have to find other ways to pressure Yuwen Xuan. Still, we canât just let him off. Once this is over, pick some skilled operatives from the main team to take him and his accomplices out.â
His tone was indifferent, as if discussing a group of ants rather than living people.
The woman nodded slightly, âUnderstood. So tonightâŠâ
âNo rush. No matter how desperate they get, theyâll eventually have to yield,â the man tightened his blanket, then suddenly chuckled, âRemember your name⊠How trivialâŠâ
