Huang Lan hung up the phone, stood up, and stepped outside of her room. There, she saw the captains of Team Five and Team Six, along with their people, waiting right outside her room. Moreover, the pair obviously did not co with good intentions, which was apparent from their expressions.
Previously, due to Chu Feng causing a ruckus in Dragon Soul, the captains of Team Five and Team Six both were penalized and suspended, under investigation. However, because the General Captain of Dragon Soul had helped Chu Feng this ti, the two miraculously were reinstated.
The fundantal duty of Dragon Soul was to safeguard the national security, which was true, but as long as one was within the system, entanglents with power were inevitable. Thus, Huang Lan was not surprised by such events. After all, this was not the first ti it happened, and certainly wouldn’t be the last.
However, what were these two doing, bringing so many people here today?
"What do you want to do?" Huang Lan asked calmly, her face showing not a trace of fear.
The captain of Team Five revealed a sleazy smile and said, "Nothing much, just want to invite Captain Huang to cooperate with an investigation."
Upon hearing this, Huang Lan’s pretty face slightly changed, but she still responded coldly, "The General Captain has already decided on my issues. I have no need to cooperate with you, and I have nothing more to explain."
The captain of Team Six said, "Yes, the General Captain has already decided, but now the Tributor Group wants to question you. So we still need Captain Huang to cooperate, and not to make this difficult for us."
Huang Lan replied coldly, "Even if it’s the Tributor Group, they should wait for the General Captain to return before questioning ."
The captain of Team Five smiled slightly with a hint of smugness, "Captain Huang, you might not know yet, but the General Captain has received orders to carry out a mission on Heavenly chanism Island, and for the ti being, Dragon Soul is in charge of the Tributor Group. So please cooperate with us, Captain Huang, we don’t want to be rough."
When Huang Lan heard this, her complexion sank.
The General Captain had been sent away, and now she was truly isolated without assistance here.
With Black Bear and the others all over in East River, she had no leverage whatsoever.
Seeing the captains of Team Five and Six ready to make a move, Huang Lan quickly made up her mind.
A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him, and this was Dragon Soul after all, plus the General Captain was not gone forever.
However, Huang Lan did indeed miscalculate this ti. The General Captain was definitely coming back, but he would return much later than Huang Lan had anticipated.
"Fine, I’ll go with you," Huang Lan nodded and said.
The captains of Team Five and Six produced a pair of special handcuffs, saying, "Captain Huang, don’t be upset, we’re just following the rules."
Huang Lan looked displeased, but she still nodded and extended her wrists.
Once the handcuffs were on Huang Lan, she imdiately felt all her strength leave her body.
These handcuffs were specifically designed for Ancient Martial Experts; once fastened, they would strip a person of their combat abilities.
Huang Lan was taken away and then entered the underground prison where Dragon Soul specifically detained criminals.
After Chu Feng ended his call with Huang Lan, he also felt incredibly angry.
Chu Feng never liked being bullied, but now that he had been, he was determined to find a way to turn the tables.
During dinner, Chu Feng didn’t ntion what Huang Lan had told him to Black Bear and the others.
He couldn’t affect the morale of Black Bear and his team, as that would be extrely dangerous during mission execution.
That night, Chu Feng and Black Bear enjoyed a hearty al together, and at the sa ti, Chu Feng handed over the Acupoint Map he had drawn, instructing them to morize it when they went back.
Black Bear and the others got the Acupoint Map, each of them as excited as if they were injected with adrenaline.
Rat, holding the Acupoint Map, said, "Captain Chu, I don’t know any Kung Fu, so I shouldn’t morize this Acupoint Map, right?"
Chu Feng said, "Rest assured, morize it. When the ti cos, I’ll teach you a set of Acupoint Kungfu that doesn’t require Inner Strength, so you’ll have an additional ans to protect yourself."
Upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, Rat’s eyes also lit up, saying, "Thanks, Captain Chu."
Chu Feng said, "You’ve co to help , I have to show my gratitude. I can’t let you get suspended for nothing."
Rat felt a surge of warmth upon hearing Chu Feng’s words.
Dragon Soul actually lacked a sense of human touch, but after coming to Chu Feng’s side, he felt the long-lost warmth.
Whether it was the last ti Chu Feng let him leave while he defused the bomb himself, or this ti, Rat finally felt the warmth of living like a human being.
Black Bear, slightly drunk, put his arm around Rat’s shoulders and said, "Didn’t I tell you, following our Captain Chu, you don’t just get to drink but also have at to eat. It’s much better than your gloomy Team Five, isn’t it?"
Rat also stood up, saying, "Captain Chu, from now on, my life is yours."
A warrior will die for a confidant. Finding a kindred spirit isn’t easy, nor is finding a good captain. But finding a captain who sees you as a human being is even harder.
Back in Team Five, all he did was disarm bombs, with each hazard faced alone at the front. No one would give him advice, help him, let alone let him be the first to escape at the most dangerous monts.
Chu Feng reached out to Rat, saying, "Since you’ve chosen to be with us, we’re brothers. I can’t let a brother die for ; we live and die together."
As a grown man, Rat actually felt his eyes turning red at the words of Chu Feng.
Black Bear looked at Rat and said, "You’re such a big guy, how co you’re crying?"
Rat replied, "It’s the onion sll from your breath that’s made cry!"
"Ha ha!"
Rat’s retort made everyone burst into laughter.
The group drank until late into the night; everyone except Chu Feng was feeling tipsy.
Chu Feng liked being friends, being brothers with these people because they didn’t have any ulterior motives. They were down-to-earth and sincere; they were the kind of brothers he could trust with his back.
Of course, for Chu Feng, they were also now a significant aid to him. With them around, his Fengjing Group was even more secure.
After making sure everyone was settled in, Chu Feng also left Shuiyun Restaurant, ready to go and check on the construction site.
They were all tired today, so he let them rest well. But the site couldn’t be left unattended; it was a critical mont, and nothing could go wrong.
The sumr in East River was truly brutal. Although it was already deep into the night, there was still a scorching hot wave.
Moreover, co sumr, East River turned into a city that never slept. The barbecue stalls, visible everywhere on the streets, were buzzing all night long.
Chu Feng drove back to the construction site, his expression turning solemn the mont he arrived.
Chu Feng parked his car in the parking lot, and like an arrow, he disappeared into the night.
