Chapter 1401: I’m Talking About You
As Hu Zhiyong was gone and Liu Zhinan wasn’t taking the lab seriously, the one currently in charge of the lab was a vice-director who knew the lab the best. As a scientist, he was as good as Hu Zhiyong, but he was weaker in terms of superpower.
Following the map, Kong Qingming and his people sneaked into the lab building through a cover tunnel. They were all armed to the teeth and highly vigilant. After sneaking in, they observed the place extra carefully but detected no danger at all.
No danger at all!
They walked under the surveillance cameras and found them to be not working. Then, they walked to the hallway and found no one there. They spent a few minutes stealthily walking in the hallway but saw not even a single person! That was a lab, but how come no one was there?
The further in they went, the more strongly Kong Qingming felt that something was not right.
It seemed way too easy! Was it really a trap?
His teammates all started feeling confused as well. From time to time, they turned to look at Kong Qingming questioningly.
‘Boss! This is too easy! How come this doesn’t feel right?‘ They all had the same question.
Kong Qingming responded to them with a hand gesture – ‘I too feel that something isn’t right. Be careful!’
They had spent quite a while walking in the building, but not even a single person was found. None of the surveillance cameras that they had seen was working. It was obviously abnormal! The map didn’t say that the surveillance cameras in this area would shut down at this time of the day!
Was someone expecting them? Did the enemy turn off the cameras to relax their vigilance? Was there an ambush waiting for them where Li Yue He was? There must be an ambus.h.!.+
With that thought, Kong Qingming started hesitating. Perhaps, he should directly switch to Plan B. However, the place was completely empty, so it was pointless to use violence to break in. There were no obstacles, after all! Should they storm directly to the destination, fight the enemies as hard as they could, and then take the opportunity to rescue Li Yue He?
As Kong Qingming paused, the rest of the team all looked at him, waiting for his decision.
Watching them hesitate, the person who had been hiding in the darkness waiting for them to take Li Yue He away was also anxious. He even wanted to drive the group of people into Li Yue He’s room with a stick, or maybe a machete!
He had gone through all the trouble to clear all the obstacles. He only wished that Kong Qingming and his people could rescue the man as soon as possible. Why were they hesitating?
Did he need to say something to urge them?
As Kong Qingming was thinking about if he and his people should leave, the loudspeakers surrounding them suddenly uttered an anxious man’s voice, “Oi, can you please hurry up and rescue the man? What are you guys waiting for? If you shrink back just like this, I’ll follow you to Sea City Base and kill you all! Why do you think I made you guys such an easy way in? I risked my own life doing that! If you flinch, you, yes, you! I guess you’re the team leader, but how come you look like an idiot? Are you gonna rescue the man or not? Go and take him if you still want to rescue him! I’ve worked really hard to make this easy for you earlier today! Do not make all my efforts be in vain!”
On hearing the scolding, Kong Qingming and the others were all stunned.
They were startled! They thought their action was perfectly secret, but all of a sudden, someone yelled at them on the loudspeakers, complaining about how slow they were! That was scary! They felt as if they were hearing the voice of a ghost!
On hearing the voice from the speaker, Kong Qingming, and his people were both shocked and confused. As the man said that Kong Qingming looked like an idiot, people glanced at each other and then fixed their eyes on him.
Meanwhile, Kong Qingming himself didn’t know what to say.
“Hurry up! I’ve only given those people half an hour of break time. They’ll soon come back! Go to District D right now. That place is safe now. If you took one step toward the outside, I’ll give you a cathartic and make you guys spend the rest of your day in the toilet!”
Kong Qingming and his people didn’t even know what to say.
“Why should I believe you?” Finally, Kong Qingming managed to calm down. He raised his head to look at the loudspeaker above his head and said.
“I asked you to rescue him because he’s a friend of mine. I can’t send him away myself, or else I wouldn’t have to give you guys the information. Alright, you don’t need to know the details. All you need to know is that I would never hurt Li Yue He. If you don’t trust me, fine. You can go out now and then I’ll put Li Yue He somewhere else. After that, you guys can sneak in and try to find him. I bet you’d never be able to find him!” The man snorted coldly with scorn.
Kong Qingming turned and exchanged glances with the others as he thought for a second. At last, he decided to believe the man’s words. He made a hand gesture to signal his men to forward at full speed and then left the area.
He wasn’t willing to trust the man, but he had to take the risk. It was worth trying even if what the man said was only one percent true. If it were really a trap, Yun Meng would come to save them. She was supposed to come in to meet with Kong Qingming and his people in a while, so if it were a trap, she would know.
As they finally started approaching Li Yue He, the man behind the speaker sighed with relief.
Kong Qingming and his people quickly headed toward where Li Yue He was kept; nothing was there to stop them. They still stayed alert against all possible dangers though.
Anyhow, nothing threatened them at all as they easily and safely found the lab where Li Yue He was kept in. Kong Qingming looked around, thinking about how to open the door of that lab. At that moment, the man by his side poked his shoulder.
He turned around and saw the man pointing at a corner that the surveillance camera couldn’t reach. In the corner was a sticker, saying – ‘The door isn’t locked. Just get in.’
Kong Qingming didn’t know what to say. He didn’t know how to describe his feelings. He felt as though he were looking at a road sign.
‘Are we tourists? Did he have to put a sign in this place?’ he thought.
While thinking that, he twirled the door open extra carefully. He was worried that the sign might be a trap and that maybe the alarm would go off once he twirled the doork.n.o.b.
However, nothing happened.
The door was indeed open!
