Chapter 270: Small Gift
It was also on this night.
Di Zheng returned to the army headquarters.
“What’s wrong?”
As soon as he walked into the office, he saw Liang Jian, his trusted confidant.
Liang Jian took out his phone and pressed a button.
A voice came from inside.
“Mr. Luo, you have finally arrived.”
“Mr. Huang, why did you urgently ask me to come?”
Then Liang Jian shook his phone, and a video appeared on the big screen in the office.
The video seemed to be shot from outside the window.
What could be seen was…
Inside a luxurious office through the window, Huang Yuanhang and Luo Tianyi from the conservative faction were standing together.
After that, Huang Yuanhang invited Luo Tianyi to sit down and said…
“I was planning to give Mr. Luo a big gift.”
“But things didn’t go as planned.”
“I messed things up.”
“Now, I have to apologize to Mr. Luo in person.”
……
The video showed Huang Yuanhang meeting Luo Tianyi that day, discussing a plan to kidnap Wei Fenghua.
In the video, Huang Yuanhang said one thing.
“I was actually planning to kidnap Wei Fenghua and give him to Mr. Luo as a gift, to celebrate your upcoming appointment as City Lord.”
Di Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this.
After watching the video.
Di Zheng took out his phone right away, “Block the city gates and all exits, send out three teams immediately to arrest Huang Yuanhang.”
Then he put down his phone.
“Who sent the video?”
Liang Jian shook his head, “It was from an anonymous user, I have asked the tech team to track the delivery address, but no results yet.”
Di Zheng rubbed his chin, “During the election, Luo Tianyi revealed the scandal of involvement in the illegal trade of Giant Beast Parasite.”
“Now it’s Huang Yuanhang, could it be…”
Liang Jian looked up, his eyes shining, “Wu Shimu, the security chief?”
Di Zheng frowned, “But Huang Yuanhang’s votes are third, he’s not a threat.”
“If he wants to do something, shouldn’t it be aimed at me?”
Liang Jian chuckled, “Captain, you have no skeletons in your closet. Lao Wu isn’t foolish; he wouldn’t waste his time on this.”
Di Zheng replied, “Precisely because he isn’t foolish, he would target me. He can easily create something out of nothing.”
At that moment, Di Zheng’s phone rang.
The screen displayed a name: Wu Shimu.
He showed Liang Jian the name on the screen, then answered the call.
“Di Zheng, my man.”
Wu Shimu’s voice was loud.
“Bro, I’m sending you a small gift. Did you receive it?”
Di Zheng looked at Liang Jian.
Then he said, “Huang Yuanhang?”
“Exactly, it’s him.”
Wu Shimu chuckled, “Last year, when our security department investigated an illegal weapons deal, we found a trace of Yuanhang Group.”
“Following this lead, we discovered that old man Huang Yuanhang was funding several bases on the surface.”
“Engaging in weapon development activities behind the scenes.”
“That’s why our security department has been keeping an eye on him.”
“As a result, we even had some unexpected gains.”
“Don’t worry, we have already sealed off the city gates and all passages.”
“Your military unit can act, while our security department is responsible for handling the aftermath.”
Di Zheng chuckled, “Minister Wu is considerate.”
“Sure, sure,” Wu Shimu said, “I won’t delay your military unit’s work. Let’s have tea together when we have time and chat some more.”
Communication ended.
Liang Jian grunted, “This old man received the intelligence early but only revealed it now. His intentions are suspicious.”
Di Zheng said slowly, “He wants to do me a favor, all for the City Lord election.”
Liang Jian asked, “So what do we do now?”
Di Zheng replied, “Let’s capture Huang Yuanhang first. We were already investigating and gathering some evidence, but it wasn’t sufficient.”
“Now with this video, he can’t escape.”
Liang Jian laughed, “Okay, I’ll go take a look.”
Liang Jian left.
The phone in front of Di Zheng rang.
He answered it.
The gatekeeper said, “Captain, Luo Yan is here.”
A moment later.
Luo Yan saw Di Zheng.
Di Zheng looked him up and down, then reached out and patted Luo Yan on the shoulder.
“I’ve heard about your situation.”
“Secondary infection.”
“Silence.”
“Not easy.”
Di Zheng sighed softly.
Then in a deep voice, he said, “But the path we walk is not an easy one.”
“Even if thorns are everywhere?”
“Step over them!”
Few words were spoken.
Despite that, Luo Yan seemed greatly encouraged.
Her eyes sparkled as she nodded gently.
Afterwards.
Mentioned two tasks about ‘Heiwu’ to Di Zheng.
“This organization seems very ambitious, planning to expand bases in every underground city.”
Di Zheng sat down and said, “The matter of Heiwu, only the captain of the corps knows about it in order to keep it secret.”
“Except for the Green Sun Corps.”
“I will try to provide cover for this base for you, but there isn’t much I can do.”
“Nor should there be much.”
“Doing more will arouse suspicion from ‘Heiwu’.”
“As for recruiting team members…”
He pondered for a moment, then said, “Let’s talk about the mission later. You just got back, you must be tired, go back to school first.”
“I’ll come find you in a few days.”
Luo Yan nodded and took his leave.
He returned to the underground city in the evening.
He had already rented a warehouse at the Guangling branch of “Ah Fa Used Car Shop” and purchased “steward services.”
After settling the camper van and small mecha, he changed his clothes before meeting Di Zheng.
So, this time, he didn’t want to cause any trouble and went directly back to Battle Academy.
After a night passed.
The next day.
He went to see Wei Fenghua.
In Wei Fenghua’s college dormitory.
Luo Yan held a cup with tea just brewed by Wei Fenghua.
“Tea leaves are quite rare now. If Di Zheng hadn’t given me some, I probably wouldn’t have been able to afford it as a poor teacher.”
Wei Fenghua raised his glasses and cleared his throat.
Then he asked with a worried look, “How’s your health?”
He continued self-deprecatingly, “With a second infection, how can my body be good? I’m just being overly concerned.”
Luo Yan took a small sip of tea, put down the cup and said, “As long as the blood poison doesn’t flare up, I’m not much different from usual.”
Wei Fenghua sighed softly, “To delay the outbreak of blood poison from a secondary infection, one can only use the ‘superior reliever’. But we still need to quickly advance to the Mystery Achieving Realm to eliminate the blood poison.”
“You are currently in the Intermediate Realm. To reach the Mystery Achieving Realm, even if it requires a lot of resources, it will take at least three years.”
He did not continue speaking.
Implied meaning.
Luo Yan simply did not have enough time.
After all, even if Luo Yan uses the ‘superior reliever’, there is still a question mark over whether he can survive for three more years.
Wei Fenghua changed the subject, “The mastermind who kidnapped me in the forbidden area that day has been confirmed, it was Huang Yuanhang.”
Luo Yan looked up.
Wei Fenghua said, “Last night, Wu Shimu gave Di Zheng a ‘big gift’, which was a recording of Huang Yuanhang and Luo Tianyi meeting.”
“Inside, Huang Yuanhang himself confessed that he planned to kidnap me.”
Luo Yan asked with concern, “Have they caught the person now?”
