Chapter 220: Where to go next?
In an ordinary residential building in District 13, City B. It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, and only a few lights were still on on the fourth and fifth floors of the entire dormitory building.
Dormitory 505 was originally occupied by Li Jingfeng, Chen Jing and two other teammates. Ever since the news of Shousui and He Ci's betrayal and escape came out from District 11, Chen Jing, the captain of their Yugui Villa team, was taken away by Amber's men for questioning and has never returned since then.
Now, only Li Jingfeng and the other two were left in the dormitory. Since they came to the base in City B for refuge, they were not idle, but had work arrangements assigned by their superiors every day, some light and some heavy. After returning from work today, Li Jingfeng washed up early and went to bed before ten o'clock, but he couldn't fall asleep at all.
Every night when he was free, he would toss and turn, thinking about Shousui and Heci's defection, and what happened to Chen Jing after he was taken away? Why had he not been released? Was it three months or four months? He couldn't even count how long Chen Jing had been taken away.
Although he did not return, there was a piece of news about Chen Jing. According to Fusang, the supernatural person from District 11 who took Chen Jing away, Chen Jing was appreciated by the Lord of Amber City, so he was kept in District 11 and planned to be cultivated well.
But Li Jingfeng always felt that something was wrong. If it was true as Fusang said, that Chen Jing was fortunate enough to be appreciated by the city lord and was going to be cultivated and reused, then this was a good thing, but why was no one allowed to visit Captain Chen Jing? And since Chen Jing was taken away, he never came back to find them.
After Xie Anlan and Li Erren and others completed the gene unlocking experiment and became superpowers, they came back to visit them and told them the good news in person. After that, they still kept in touch with them. They could often go to District 11 to chat with Xie Anlan and others after work.
Now, could it be that Chen Jing has become too disdainful to care about them after climbing up the social ladder? But based on Chen Jing's personality, Li Jingfeng didn't think that Chen Jing was the kind of person who forgot about his family and friends after he became successful, let alone the kind of person who didn't even want to see him. Even if it was a friend who wanted to break up with each other for the rest of his life, he would show up and give a legitimate reason, instead of disappearing without a reason, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.
Even the news that "he was appreciated by the city lord and was kept in District 11" was heard by someone else. After thinking about it carefully, Li Jingfeng seriously suspected that Chen Jing was very likely to have been in trouble, and in order to prevent the news from leaking, the Amber City Lord deliberately asked Fuso to bring back the news that he was appreciated and kept in District 11 for cultivation in order to cover up the truth and appease them.
Just like the news that Shou Sui and He Ci stole important documents and fled, Li Jingfeng felt suspicious. First of all, according to He Ci's character, how could he steal things? At least the He Ci that Li Jingfeng knew would never steal things casually.
Furthermore, after He Ci and Shou Sui got into trouble, Shu Yue, the second-in-command of Mo Yuankai's team, came to him and told him something. Since the end of the zombie tide resistance war, their boss Mo Yuankai and his younger brother Hou Jing had disappeared inexplicably, and no one had seen them alive or dead. Since Shu Yue suspected that the disappearance of Mo Yuankai and the other had a lot to do with Amber, he asked Shou Sui at the time to help him find clues about Mo Yuankai's whereabouts.
When Shu Yue heard about the accident of He Ci and Shou Sui, she kept blaming herself, thinking that it was the matter they entrusted to her that implicated Shou Sui and the other two. She said that He Ci and Shou Sui must have discovered some unspeakable secrets of Amber City Lord's behavior, which was why Amber issued a killing order against them.
After hearing this, Li Jingfeng felt that Shousui and Heci's sudden defection because of theft was too suspicious.
Li Jingfeng and Shu Yue had investigated the incident involving Shousui and Mo Yuankai, but they were ordinary people with their insignificant abilities and could not find any useful clues. Now they could only take things one step at a time.
After that, Li Jingfeng couldn't help but wonder, if this base in City B is really not as simple as it seems, if the missing Mo Yuankai and the two people and the taken away Chen Jing had already been killed, then where should they go?
In the quiet night, Li Jingfeng was lying in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep, when suddenly footsteps were heard in the corridor outside the door.
The footsteps were getting clearer and closer, and seemed to be heading towards their dormitory. Just as Li Jingfeng was suspicious, he heard the footsteps stop in front of their dormitory door. There was a knock on the door, and Hao Jian, who had just come out of the bathroom, went to open the door while wiping his wet hair with a towel. "Who is it?"
"Captain Gray Wolf?" When Hao Jian saw who was outside the door, his slightly impatient voice trembled, and then he put on a flattering smile in a second, changed his lazy attitude and asked respectfully: "Captain Gray Wolf came to the door in person so late. Is there something important?"
The gray wolf glared at him with his narrow eyes and asked sternly, "Who is Li Jingfeng? Who is Hao Jian?"
"Yes, my name is Hao Jian." Seeing that the other party called his name, Hao Jian was worried that disturbing people's sleep in the middle of the night must be no good, but he still told Gray Wolf that one of the people the other party was looking for was himself, and turned to Li Jingfeng who was sleeping on the upper bunk by the window and shouted, "Brother Li, don't sleep, Captain Gray Wolf is looking for you."
Li Jingfeng, who was not asleep yet, got up from the bed and looked at the Gray Wolf and his group standing by the door. He asked with a puzzled look, "Captain Gray Wolf, do you have any instructions for us?"
Gray Wolf glanced at him and said, "The city lord wants to see you. Please do me a favor and come with me."
After hearing this, Li Jingfeng's heart suddenly skipped a beat, thinking back to the day when Chen Jing was taken away, he was also asked to leave by Fusang in the same way. For some reason, at this moment, Li Jingfeng felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
He turned to another roommate who was not named and made a request, "He Xiu, I have a favor to ask of you. Your sister Shu Yue and I had an appointment to have breakfast together in the cafeteria tomorrow. The city lord suddenly came to us late at night. It must be something important. If I can't get back before tomorrow morning, please tell your sister Shu Yue not to wait for me and go eat with Qiaoman and Zhiyun first. Don't be hungry. She has a bad stomach."
Hearing Li Jingfeng's special instructions, the man who was hanging clothes on the balcony hurried out and responded, "Okay, Brother Li. You go early and come back early." He Xiu was one of Mo Yuankai's brothers, and was usually Shu Yue's right-hand man. After seeing the background of Gray Wolf and his group on the corridor near the door, how could he not hear the deep meaning in Li Jingfeng's words?
Afterwards, Li Jingfeng and Hao Jian followed Gray Wolf and his group out of the dormitory building. In an open space downstairs, they met Cen Lulu, Wan Yuqi and four others who were also brought out of the dormitory building by Bai Xuanou.
In the experimental building in Area 11.
Gray Wolf brought the six people directly to Amber's office, "City Lord, everyone is here."
Amber was reading a document at the desk. She put down the document and looked at the six people behind Gray Wolf. She stood up and walked out of the desk, waving at Gray Wolf and said, "Bring it here directly."
