Chapter 280: Chen Yiming’s Overt Plan
The street in front of the television station was usually bustling with people, and was less crowded only when compared to the comrcial street in the city center.
However, there were almost no people around now. Most of the people were small teams of soldiers stationed at the crossroads. Other than a few shops on both sides of the street, most of the shops had closed down under orders from the governnt.
Chen Yiming saw Zhang Yan jogging out of the television station.
The other party had changed into a shiny silver-white dress with a deep V cut. There was a crystal necklace around her fair neck that attracted one’s attention.
In addition, she had thick makeup on her face. Her long hair was tied up behind her head, and she was wearing a pair of high heels that were nearly 10 centiters high. She gave off the aura of a mature woman.
Chen Yiming’s eyelids twitched. “Are you going to the celebration banquet?”
Zhang Yan rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to explain herself. She held Chen Yiming’s hand and the two of them left the television station and turned into an alley.
The alley was less than three ters wide. As long as soone ca from either side, they would imdiately realize it. This was a good place to discuss private matters.
“Did the higher-ups start to investigate the tragedy of the blood ritual?” Zhang Yan asked hurriedly.
One the way from the entrance of the television station to this alley less than half a kiloter away, she had cald herself down. Now was not the ti to be petty with this man.
She had also heard so rumors from her colleagues about the tragedy that had happened in the city.
“I went to the scene just now and saw your boyfriend, Lu Feng. He seems to be one of the people in charge of this matter,” Chen Yiming retracted his gaze and said.
Zhang Yan’s expression froze. She held onto the wall beside her to steady herself.
The more she knew, the greater the fear she felt. She had heard that the evil organization had underhanded ways of controlling people involved with them, and she did not want to beco one of them.
At this mont, she had the thought of giving it all up and just leaving this troubleso place.
Chen Yiming didn’t know what Zhang Yan was thinking about. He continued, “The person carrying out the blood ritual is still in the city. Your boyfriend, Lu Feng, is most likely their informant. If there’s anything amiss, you can contact .”
With that, he took out his phone and prepared to exchange contact details with Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan’s eyes were filled with fear as she quickly waved her hand to reject him. She explained, “I can’t do this. I’m already planning to apply for leave and go to the provincial city.”
The excuse of going ho would not work. Jiangnan City was the safest place she could think of.
“Jiangdu City has entered a state of military control. If we don’t deal with the evil organization, I’m afraid it won’t be resolved. Are you sure you can get out?”
If the Western corporations had set up a trap for Chen Yiming, he could also set up an overt plan. Him appearing in Jiangdu City was the first step.
In addition, he knew that Lu Feng was an informant for the evil organization, but Lu Feng himself did not know that his identity had been exposed. If he used his counterattack to pressure those people, they would easily panic.
Coupled with the fact that it would be a long journey from the Daxia Kingdom back to the west, as long as they exposed a trace of themselves on the way back, Chen Yiming was confident that he could deal with all those people with his powerful attacks.
Zhang Yan thought for a mont and stamred, “Then I’ll rent a house and hide… They shouldn’t be able to find for a while, right?”
Chen Yiming analyzed the situation. “Lu Feng is a mber of the evil organization. If you do that, you’re telling him openly that you’ve already discovered his secret. If he catches you, think about what will happen to you.”
Zhang Yan’s lips turned pale when she heard this. Even her lipstick could not hide it.
This wouldn’t work, and that wouldn’t work either. Was she supposed to sleep beside Lu Feng, a mber of the evil organization, again tonight? Thinking of this, she felt like she had lost all her strength.
His mind was filled with images of cruel rituals and human experints.
After a while, she still could not think of a good way to break out of the situation. She listed her conditions. “I can agree to help you monitor Lu Feng, but you have to stay nearby and protect .”
Chen Yiming thought for a mont and replied, “No problem. Lu Feng is very weak. If he wants to do anything bad to you, I can stop him at any ti.”
His materialized spiritual power was comparable to a radar. Within a range of two to three kiloters, nothing could escape his eyes. This was also why he was confident that those people would not be able to escape from him.
Zhang Yan heaved a sigh of relief. In the end, she told Chen Yiming that the reason she had dressed up was because she was going to visit the chief of the security bureau, Lin Hui, with Lu Feng at night.
Chen Yiming left quickly after hearing this. Afraid that she would go back on her word, he didn’t tell Zhang Yan that Lin Hui was also a mber of the evil organization.
…
Night fell.
Ever since Jiangdu City beca the only city linked to the base city, the night had lost the aning of rest, and it beca a city that did not sleep.
However, now that they were under military control, the entire city had returned to how it was before. There were very few people on the streets, and the street lamps lit up the lonely streets.
After the crisis of the beast tide in the base city was resolved, the blockade was relaxed, allowing the people from the stronghold to return to the blue planet.
At this mont, Natasha received a ssage from the organization’s informant at the stronghold.
The informant said that most of the undead army had been wiped out. The leader of the organization had disappeared, and that man had returned unhard.
“How did this happen?”
“How is that possible?”
“How could the leader be killed?”
Natasha asked herself these three questions in a row. Her eyes instantly lost their shine and she collapsed to the ground.
Bad news ca one after another. That man had gone straight to Jiangdu City. It was obvious what his goal was. When she thought about how she was about to be hunted down by the other party, her entire body trembled.
…
At 8 pm, Lu Feng and Zhang Yan arrived at the governnt district with their gift.
The housing in the governnt district was subsidized for public officials, and the price was much lower than the market price. The ho of the chief of the provincial security bureau, Lin Hui, was also here.
“Xiao Yan, I didn’t make it in ti when I was transferred to Jiangdu City. I promise I’ll give you a big house next ti.”
Lu Feng held the gift in one hand and pointed at the building as he walked.
Zhang Yan nodded and pretended to smile happily, but she felt indescribably disgusted in her heart.
After she found out Lu Feng’s secret, these words sounded completely fake. A person who had joined an evil organization actually promised to give her a ho. What a joke.
If not for the fact that she had no choice, she would already have run far away.
Zhang Yan took this opportunity to look around from ti to ti, hoping to catch sight of Chen Yiming fulfilling his promise. Lu Feng thought that his girlfriend liked the big houses here, so he didn’t mind and continued talking to himself.
When Chen Yiming saw this, he had no choice but to reveal himself so that Zhang Yan could feel safe and continue to monitor Lu Feng.
“Do your best!” Zhang Yan said, but it was unknown who she was talking to.
When Lu Feng heard this, he made many more promises, revealing his skill in picking up girls.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at Lin Hui’s house. They pressed the doorbell and exchanged a few words with Lin Hui’s family. The tal door opened and the two of them entered.
…
In the governnt district, Chen Yiming found a hidden spot and waited. He communicated with the figure in his mind and received news that sothing had happened in the rocky plains.
“Hehe! Now I can be sure that you were indeed trapped in the otherworld by .”
Chen Yiming sneered.
Whether it was the undead army from before or the abnormal movents in the rocky plains, it was impossible for a warrior to do sothing like this.
Without a doubt, it could only be the actions of the martial master sent by the Western corporations to the Daxia Kingdom.
Chen Yiming said, “Stay in the area around the stronghold. If that person dares to appear, kill him.”
The figure in his mind said, “Yes.”
…
About an hour later, Lu Feng and Zhang Yan walked out of Lin Hui’s house.
“I’m really sorry. I just got ho but I have to deal with so work problems, so I don’t have much ti to spend with you,” Lu Feng said apologetically.
He felt very regretful. His girlfriend, Zhang Yan, was dressed very charmingly today. He had wanted to get intimate with her once they returned ho and changed out of their clothes.
Unfortunately, Lin Hui had given him a mission that he could not put off. He could only suppress his desires for the mont.
“Go ahead. Your work is important,” Zhang Yan said softly. She suppressed her excitent and pretended to be concerned.
“After I settle my work, I’ll rush ho as soon as possible,” Lu Feng grabbed Zhang Yan’s hands and said solemnly.
Zhang Yan’s hand almost trembled, and she revealed a strange expression. She cursed in her heart. How disgusting. He had better not co back.
Once a woman had a change of heart, everything a man did would seem to be wrong to them. Won were all good actors, so she could still maintain the facade for the ti being. This was what Lu Feng was facing at this mont.
The two of them parted ways at the entrance of the governnt district. Zhang Yan went ho while Lu Feng went to the unit.
Zhang Yan deliberately slowed down her pace, wanting to wait for Chen Yiming to catch up and tell him about Lu Feng’s movents. However, Chen Yiming received a call and left.
…
In a eting room in the governnt office area, Zhou Hongquan, the city guardian of Jiangdu City, projected the latest information on the screen and introduced to Chen Yiming the movents of the mbers of the evil organization hidden in various cities in Jiangnan province.
The mbers of the evil organization acted almost at the sa ti. No matter how the military set up an encirclent, they forcefully created chaos everywhere.
“Are they trying to lure out of Jiangdu City? Are they trying to take advantage of the situation and escape?” Chen Yiming muttered to himself.
“The most important mber in the evil organization should be anxious to escape. These are just distractions. They should still be in the city,” Zhou Hongquan agreed.
“The rest of the people combined are far less important than that big fish. I’ll be relying on the military to deal with them,” Chen Yiming thought for a mont and said.
“Of course,” Zhou Hongquan said in a low voice.
He had told Chen Yiming this information to prevent Chen Yiming from being distracted and letting the big fish escape. Now that they had reached a consensus, things would be much easier.
It would not be easy for even the military to find those mbers of the evil organization if they hid themselves. However, the situation was completely different now.
…
In the office of the organization departnt, after making a call, Lu Feng slumped back in his chair. He held a small, delicate bottle in one hand and was smoking a cigarette with the other, trying to calm his fluctuating emotions.
The mission that Bureau Chief Lin had given him was to make use of his status as a deputy minister to create chaos in Jiangdu City.
Their target was the train station because it was the starting point for the transportation to the base city. It was also the place where the most martial arts practitioners gathered.
The small bottle in his hand was the key to the mission.
After handing over the surface work to his subordinates, he understood what this ant.
There was no turning back. At this mont, his heart was filled with worry, fear, panic, and other negative emotions. The other party had promised to bring him back to the headquarters, but it was not what he wanted now.
This was because he had only been recruited into the organization for a short period of ti, less than a year. His contributions were limited, so the rewards he received were naturally limited.
Once he lost his current status as a public official, he could be said to have lost all value and might even beco an experintal subject.
However, Lu Feng could not go against the organization at all. In fact, he was being threatened instead. Who asked him to have a weakness that the organization could control? It would not take much effort for the organization to get rid of him. As long as he was exposed, he would only be left to die.
On one hand, he would be reduced to a worthless outer mber, and he might be persecuted in the future. On the other hand, he would die directly. Lu Feng could only choose the path that seed to give him a chance of survival.
“This is?”
Chen Yiming flipped the small bottle around in his hand.
After listening to Lu Feng’s arrangents for his subordinates, he entered the office in a flash. Using his materialized spiritual power, he snatched the small bottle from Lu Feng before he could react.
“Who are you!”
Lu Feng suddenly saw a figure appear in front of him and was frightened. He cursed loudly.
On a closer look, the other party was actually holding a familiar small bottle. He turned to look at his hand and saw that it was empty.
In an instant, a chill ran down his spine. To be able to take away the small bottle in his hand before he could react, he was definitely a martial arts expert that he was no match for.
Escape?
Could he still escape at this ti?
Lu Feng fell into despair.
Chen Yiming studied the surface of the bottle but couldn’t make out what it contained. He opened the bottle and heard the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling.
“Is it related to spirits?”
“It’s a small matter.”
He used his materialized spiritual power to probe inside and realized that there was an unstable spirit in the bottle. His spiritual power turned into a long sword and slashed at it a few tis, destroying it completely.
To his surprise, the spirit did not completely dissipate. Instead, it turned into dozens of weaker spirits.
“Could it be a product of the blood ritual?”
Chen Yiming frowned. The number of small spirits was roughly the sa as the number of victims. There was a high chance that the large spirit was the missing martial arts practitioner that was at the peak of the warrior realm.
The unstable state was due to the fact that the large spirit had yet to digest the smaller spirits.
This would explain why a small fry like Lu Feng could obtain such a dangerous item.
After figuring it out, he slashed at each of the small spirits again. This ti, as expected, all the spirits completely disappeared.
Chen Yiming put away the small bottle that could trap the spirits and glanced at Lu Feng, who was trembling in his chair. The mission that the other party was in charge of had already started, so there was no point in keeping him alive.
Golden internal force gathered at his fingertips and lit up the office.
“I have information about the organization…”
Lu Feng was about to open his mouth to try and get a chance of survival, but the person in front of him had already disappeared. He suddenly felt his body start to go numb. He looked down and saw that there was a huge hole in his chest.
The hole gradually expanded, and in the end, both the person and the chair were burned to ashes.
The reason why it was an overt plan was because the other party would know what he wanted to do, but they would be unable to stop him. From the beginning to the end, Chen Yiming had not expected to get anything out of Lu Feng.
