Chapter 475: Threatening Letter

Huang Yuande was momentarily stunned by these words, scrutinizing Zhou Ping with a strange expression before speaking, “I’ve been in logistics for so many years, and this is the first time I’ve heard of someone smashing up a delivery point…

Isn’t it a bit too arrogant for a thief to act like this?”

Under Huang Yuande’s gaze, Zhou Ping’s mouth twitched slightly. He stiffly turned around to look at Lin Qiye and the others outside the door, his face clearly pleading for help.

Lin Qiye sighed helplessly.

“Team Leader Huang… Master Huang, are you the only one here today?” Lin Qiye walked in with a smile.

“Yeah, the others from the station went out for something. If you have any packages, just tell me the number, and I’ll get it for you.”

“Oh…” Lin Qiye glanced around, confirming that there were no cameras, nodded, and casually said to the people behind him, “Tie him up.”

Behind him, Bai Li Pangpang, Cao Yuan, An Qingyu, and Jia Lan all wore sinister smiles…

Huang Yuande: ???

A slight tremor came from the underground garage, lasting less than half a minute before everything returned to calm.

Bai Li Pangpang emerged from the station carrying a black sack, inside which Huang Yuande, bruised and unconscious, swung limply like a sandbag on his shoulder.

Inside the station, Lin Qiye stood by the table, holding a pen and writing something on a piece of paper.

After finishing, Lin Qiye placed the paper in a prominent spot, turned to Zhou Ping, and said, “It’s taken care of.”

“…” Zhou Ping asked uncertainly, “Are you sure this is enough?”

“Mm.” Lin Qiye nodded, “Right now, only Huang Yuande is here; the other team members don’t know where he is, and this place is small. If we really start fighting, the garage will definitely collapse.

We don’t have any identities, and even if we explain our intentions, they might not believe us. So the best way is to let them come to us voluntarily, avoiding all the trouble and fighting directly at a suitable location.”

Lin Qiye pointed at Huang Yuande, who was being carried by Bai Li Pangpang, “Their team leader has been captured by us; they will definitely come.”

“But what if they overreact and report to the higher-ups of the Night Watchers?”

“I made a mark on the paper. Even if they report to the higher-ups, they will know that it was us who took Huang Yuande, and it won’t cause a panic.”

Zhou Ping nodded, “Since you’ve thought it through, let’s do it this way.”

Lin Qiye walked out of the station, closed the door, and put up a sign indicating that they were temporarily closed, taking the unconscious Huang Yuande away…

…

Two hours later.

A few figures dressed as delivery workers approached the station, chatting and laughing, but suddenly froze in place upon seeing the “temporarily closed” sign on the door.

Jiang Liu turned to the woman beside him in confusion, “Deputy Team Leader, we just went out to deliver a package; how did the Team Leader close the door?”

Shan Mei furrowed her brow, quickly stepped forward, and pushed the sliding door, but it wouldn’t budge.

“Something’s wrong.” Shan Mei’s expression darkened instantly. She suddenly exerted force with her palm, deforming the entire sliding door, and stepped inside.

Her gaze quickly scanned the station; everything was in order, but the floor tiles had large cracks, as if a small battle had taken place. Fortunately, she didn’t find Huang Yuande’s body, and there was no smell of blood in the air, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Although a fight had occurred, no one was injured?

So where did Huang Yuande go?

As the deputy team leader who had been with this team for five or six years, Shan Mei knew Huang Yuande well. He wasn’t the type to disappear without a word; even if he had to leave urgently, he would leave some traces…

“Deputy Team Leader!” A team member spotted the paper on the table, and his expression changed, “You need to see this!”

Shan Mei strode over to the table and saw a neatly placed A4 sheet in the center, with several lines of small text written on it.

“Dear (crossed out)… foolish members of Team 009, hello.

We have taken your team leader. If you want him to live, all team members must bring weapons and immediately come to the abandoned factory in the northern suburbs of Xining. You are all smart people and should know that calling the police won’t help, and don’t try to seek help from the higher-ups; they won’t assist you at all.

If you haven’t arrived by sunset, we will kill him.”

At the end of the text, there was a black circular symbol, with two lines cutting through the circle, the strokes sharp, seemingly exuding a murderous aura.

“This is… a threat letter?” Jiang Liu said incredulously, “Team Leader Huang has been kidnapped by them?”

“How is that possible? Team Leader Huang is a strong figure in the ‘Sea’ realm; who could easily take him away?”

Shan Mei’s expression darkened, but she didn’t show any signs of panic. She frowned and read the threat letter several times, her confusion deepening.

“There are many suspicious points in this letter.” Shan Mei slowly spoke, “The other party knows we are a team of Night Watchers and even reported our number. They could even find the location of our safe house… They shouldn’t be ‘mysterious’ types but rather malevolent superhumans who have had close ties with us in the past.

Moreover, typical threat letters usually propose some conditions for exchange, but this letter only asks us to go to that place and even actively requests us to bring all our weapons. It seems their target is our team itself.

But why are they so sure that the higher-ups of the Night Watchers won’t come to help us…”

Shan Mei pondered for a long time but couldn’t figure out the reason behind it.

“So, Deputy Team Leader, what should we do now?” a team member asked, “The sun is about to set; if we delay any longer, I’m afraid…”

“First, we’ll fax this letter to the Night Watchers headquarters and request support. The ability to quietly take away Team Leader Huang indicates that their strength is likely far beyond ours.” Shan Mei looked up at the darkening sky outside the garage, took a deep breath,

“Additionally, everyone should be fully armed; we… are going to meet them.”

…

Xining City, Northern Suburbs.

The dim yellow sunlight fell on the muddy ground, and behind the dilapidated factory walls, several figures sat on rusted steps.

“Qiye, it’s already five-thirty; why haven’t they come yet?” Bai Li Pangpang glanced at the time, frowning, “Could it be that we miscalculated? They really don’t dare to come?”

Lin Qiye gazed into the distance and saw a rugged vehicle kicking up clouds of dust as it rapidly approached against the sunset.

“Isn’t that them coming?” Lin Qiye’s lips curled into a smile.

He flipped his hand, revealing a familiar Sun Wukong mask, which he slowly put on, concealing his face.

“Everyone, put on your masks… our trial begins now.”
