Capítulo 1221: Chapter 1221
To be honest, even Zhang Yang was starting to get impatient by now.
Moving from one place to another, there had been no particularly significant gains, and the photo in front of him didn’t help either.
The only conclusion so far was that these people had indeed obtained the Soul Resurrection Grass a long ti ago.
In this factory, besides the rusty equipnt, there wasn’t anything else.
But given their past experiences, Qingyi Sect’s tunnel-digging penchant sure was baffling, so this ti Zhang Yang and the others started directly investigating: was there a secret passage?
As expected, they found another suspicious spot.
This was a clock factory, inside one of its workshops.
Once inside, a strong pungent odor greeted them—it was strange that such a long-abandoned factory would still have such a strong sll.
A subordinate of Jin Tuantuan ran over, carrying a detector. Upon approaching, he said to Jin Tuantuan, “Boss, there should definitely be a basent here, of the sa nature.”
“However, the sll inside is getting stronger, so our brothers have gone back to fetch gas masks; hence, boss, you all should wait a bit.”
Listening to his subordinate, Jin Tuantuan smiled and nodded in agreent.
“Alright, have the guys inside co out; no need to stay inside. We’ll wait until the gas masks are fetched.”
Zhang Yang and Cheng Yue exchanged a glance, both having already slled the chemical odor.
Alongside was a strong sll of machine oil.
Judging by the sll alone, it was hard to imagine the shady business going on inside.
anwhile, while waiting for the gas masks, Zhang Yang’s phone rang.
Startled, Mr. Zhang Yang sowhat expectedly took out his phone.
Upon seeing Xiaoman’s na on the caller ID, Zhang Yang’s eyes slightly narrowed.
After all that he’d done, Qingyi Sect was bound to call.
This was anticipated, even later than Zhang Yang expected.
Having demolished three secret bases of Qingyi Sect, this clock factory was the fourth.
Was it only now they decided to call? Such composure.
Xia Xue and others also saw the na on the caller ID, collectively growing tense.
The call was likely to negotiate.
Which was exactly what Zhang Yang wanted.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yang finally pressed the answer button.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoman’s voice was the first to co through.
“Hello Zhang Yang, have you missed ?”
Honestly, upon hearing Xiaoman’s voice, Zhang Yang felt a bit nervous.
During this ti, he did many things that opposed Qingyi Sect directly, fearing they might vent their frustration on Xiaoman.
But now hearing Xiaoman’s cheerful voice, Zhang Yang’s lips curled slightly into a smile.
“Xiaoman, how are you? Have you been well? Have those people troubled you?”
“They haven’t given any trouble. Is sothing wrong, Zhang Yang? Do you need to do anything?”
Upon hearing Xiaoman’s words, Zhang Yang felt relieved yet puzzled; Qingyi Sect was not known for their kindness.
However, indeed they hadn’t hard Xiaoman, which Zhang Yang discerned from her voice.
But now having Xiaoman call him, this was clearly a warning.
At this mont, Xiaoman suddenly said, “Although I don’t know what happened between you guys, those people suddenly have beco much stricter; they told to hang up.”
Before Zhang Yang could respond, the call was forcibly hung up, indicating that soone was indeed watching Xiaoman.
Feeling angry, Zhang Yang wanted to call back to negotiate, but the phone was turned off.
Was this a warning?
Zhang Yang, his expression unpleasant, muttered, feeling anxious inside.
If they continued investigating, they might completely enrage the other side, putting Xiaoman at risk.
However, giving up now, Zhang Yang was unwilling to, and even more so, Jin Tuantuan wouldn’t give up.
Just then, Zhang Yang’s phone received another ssage, with a simple content.
It was just one sentence: “Leave this clock factory.”
Though there wasn’t any additional threatening statent following, the aning was clear: if they didn’t leave, Xiaoman would be endangered.
But speaking of which, they were at East River Hospital before, yet the other side hadn’t called, but issued a warning here.
This suggests that this abandoned clock factory harbors incredible secrets, and continuing the investigation might lead to substantial gains.
At this mont, Xia Xue and others, nervously watched Zhang Yang, waiting for him to decide the next step.
Then Jin Tuantuan took the lead to speak, “If that’s the case, then let’s call it quits; let’s head back.”
Zhang Yang was slightly surprised, then looked at Jin Tuantuan.
“Why are you staring at like that? Although I really want to continue the investigation, there’s no need to rush this mont.”
“But if sothing were to happen to Xiaoman, regret would co too late.”
Zhang Yang took a deep breath, knowing clearly that Jin Tuantuan was doing this for his sake.
“Tuantuan, consider this as owing you a favor. I’ll definitely help you continue the investigation fully in the future.”
Jin Tuantuan chuckled, “Just spare the formality between us; without you, I wouldn’t even make it this far.”
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Even if I don’t find that person, or end up empty-handed, I won’t suffer much loss. At most, I’ll bow before my master’s tomb and apologize, burn so extra paper money, he’d forgive .”
Jin Tuantuan’s words succeeded in amusing the others, dissipating the tense atmosphere.
But just at this mont, an untily voice interjected.
“What do you an? You’ve chased this far and now you’re going to give up, isn’t this ridiculous? I’m sure there’s sothing in here, sothing very important,” Uncle Long exclaid angrily.
Jin Tuantuan retorted dismissively, “What’s it to you? You’re just a captive, what authority do you have here to speak up?”
Uncle Long was genuinely upset at this point.
“What do you think I’ve put up with following you all this way for? Just to see you give up?”
“If we just hold on a bit longer, I’m certain there will be substantial findings.”
“As for that Xiaoman, rest assured; they won’t dare act recklessly until the last minute.”
