Zhong Feng walked into a cold building on a certain island with four bodyguards. The tough steel doors opened, revealing four people in military clothes holding semi-automatic firearms. These people did not react to the entrance of the five people.These soldiers stood aside and indicated the directions to follow. The group kept moving smoothly through the hallways and deeper into the structure.
The cold building was well-built and lighted. However, like other military structures, there was nothing appealing about it. Moreover, there was an eerie atmosphere, almost as if there were ghosts hovering and haunting.
The beautiful man who looked at odds with the environment in his refined black suit did not seem to be affected by the strange ambience. His mind was focused on other things. He could not afford to lose focus of his goal.
The final indicated turn revealed a middle-aged soldier. The man looked tough and bulky, and his greying hair gave him a distinguished air. He had obviously been in service for a long time.
"Mr Zhong, I have been expecting you." He spoke in a clear but roughened voice.
Zhong Feng looked at the tough-looking man casually and nodded politely.
"I hope that you have made appropriate arrangements." He spoke, focusing on the matter at hand.
He did not waste more time on pleasantries. He did not plan on spending a lot of time in this place. It would be better if he could finish up with everything as soon as possible.
"Please come with me." The soldier did not also delay matters unnecessarily.
Zhong Feng indicated for the bodyguards to remain in place. There was a look of unwillingness on their faces, but they did not protest. After all, this building was a foreign military black site. If anything happened, the consequences could be dire.
The soldier led Zhong Feng through the base in measured steps. He did not speak, but he was surprised that the handsome guest did not express interest in the site. Anyone would be curious about the operations in this place. Again, this man could not be ordinary if someone approved his visit into the base.
Their journey ended in the holding section of the facility. The soldier led Zhong Feng directly to his destination. When he arrived, Zhong Feng stood some distance from the door in distaste and looked at the person inside coldly.
"Miss Brown, I have heard that you have been uncooperative." He spoke in an even voice.
The woman inside was no longer the cheerful executive in the cold Antarctica. She no longer had her pantsuit or makeup to hide behind. Here, she was a prisoner accused of serious crimes and facing life imprisonment, at best.
She looked at the man outside her cell with interest. She had not had an opportunity to look at a handsome person like this in a long time. She had only seen hard-faced soldiers. All in all, she was not overwhelmed by her predicament. She even dared to ogle and leer.
"You must be that man. I am surprised that they agreed to my conditions." She said with an eerie laugh.
Zhong Feng"s facial expression did not change.
"Do you have any useful information?"
The woman looked dissatisfied by his directness.
"What will I get in return?" She asked.
"If you have nothing to say, I will only consider this a wasted trip." He responded.
He did not come to negotiate. His determination to destroy the people behind his Hu Lei"s suffering had not wavered. However, he was not in a hurry. As long as she was safe, he did not need to worry too much.
"You know she used to scream for you when I first had her locked up in the bas.e.m.e.nt. I thought for sure that she would be unable to bear the confinement, the cold and the chains. When she slept even for a moment, she would scream "Ah Feng, Ah Feng"." The imprisoned woman laughed.
Zhong Feng"s face became like a mask of frozen darkness. However, he did not stop her.
"I thought that she was going crazy. Then, I found out that there was a man looking into the company." She paused. "I was very curious about you. I had to meet you. I mean that tough girl went through so much pain and torture, but she still seemed to believe that you would come for her."
"When she changed and stopped screaming, I thought that she had given up on you. But she still refused to cooperate. You know, now that I am locked up here, I cannot help admiring her. She is one tenacious girl." She laughed.
Zhong Feng suppressed his killing intent with difficulty.
The woman seemed to sense that he was getting impatient and her time was running out.
"If you are here to find out who is in charge of the company, I can tell you that I do not know. However, from what I have heard, the company is connected to an international humanitarian organisation. I do not know which. Everything else I knew, I have already told the soldiers." She said with resignation.
Zhong Feng did not waste more time on her. She had probably given up everything she had to offer. He was not disappointed. Even if it was not much, it was enough to begin the plan to destroy the culprits responsible for holding Hu Lei. Before he could make his exit, she shouted out for him.
"You know that they will come for her, don"t you? They will never give up on their successful test subject. They will not rest until they have her. What will you do then?" She cackled.
His killing intent rose again, but he turned and walked out. Now that she had no value to her captors, her life would not end well. He did not need to dirty his hands. After all, these were the hands which held his greatest treasure.
"Mr Zhong, did you manage to get what you came for?" The soldier asked when he left the holding area.
Zhong Feng did not respond.
He could not hear anything. His mind could only think of Hu Lei. If anyone dared to come after her, he would make sure that they never saw the sun again.
