Chapter 8: Tracking

After the car turned, the scene outside the window immediately changed.

The street was silent, and there was no one on the road. On both sides of the road were abandoned and sealed factories. There were no residential buildings around. It was a completely abandoned place.

Li Zhi looked at Lin Zhendong, who guided the way from time to time, with great interest. He really wanted to know how “Treasure Hunting Mouse” was able to determine the location of the treasure.

Of course, it was just a thought in his mind.

After all, everyone could cultivate and go to dig treasures, and the various cultivation techniques and skills obtained from lairs were all strange. It was simply impossible to count them.

Besides, everyone had their secrets. There was no need to explore them so carefully.

Therefore, Li Zhi did not ask anything in the end. He just quietly watched Lin Zhendong guide the way.

Lin Zhendong’s slightly narrowed eyes flickered with inexplicable light. It was obvious that he was thinking about something.

In an office building in an abandoned factory somewhere in the industrial zone, Su Yan crossed her long legs and placed them on the dusty desk. Half of her body was supporting the chair that only had two legs left.

She leaned against the chair and swayed with a satisfied expression. She was tossing a lotus flower that looked like it was carved from white jade up and down in her hand.

Xiao Ye, the burly man was circling back and forth like a trapped beast. Then, he suddenly stopped and said to Su Yan helplessly, “Su Yan, talk to me. I know I was wrong.”

Su Yan also felt that she had left him waiting for long enough. She said unhappily, “Hmph, I didn’t know you were such a blind person. You actually snatched something from the Special Protection Department. Fortunately, you didn’t hurt anyone. Otherwise, we would have to run away immediately!”

Seeing that his companion was responding to him, the tall and burly Xiao Ye quickly explained happily, “When I saw this lotus, I thought it was Snow Jade Lotus. I was anxious, so I snatched it.”

“This is White Jade Lotus! It was a completely different breed from the Snow Jade Lotus, alright? I can tell at a glance! How can you be mistaken?” Su Yan shouted angrily.

“It looks the same no matter how I look at it! Aren’t they all white?” Xiao Ye muttered, then quickly said, “Since it’s not Snow Jade Lotus, then why are we staying here? Aren’t we going to look for Treasure Hunting Mouse?”

“I’m waiting for him to come to me. This is much better than me going to him.” Su Yan smiled.

“Oh, no wonder you keep playing with that White Jade Lotus instead of keeping it in your shadow. I thought you were trying to lure the people of the Special Protection Department over for a big fight. It turns out that you were trying to lure Treasure Hunting Mouse!” Xiao Ye said with a look of realization.

“It’s only because you, an idiot, suddenly attacked the Special Protection Department that I was forced to do this.” Su Yan rolled her eyes unhappily.

“What are you afraid of? As long as it’s not a few big shots from the Special Protection Department, do we need to be afraid of them?” Xiao Ye said arrogantly while doing a bodybuilding pose.

“We must always be afraid! Where did your fear go? Your strength isn’t the confidence to let you do whatever you want! If you hurt someone this time, we wouldn’t be able to get anyone to help! The Special Protection Department will keep an eye on us! Do you really think you can dominate the world just because you’re strong? There are a lot of things that can’t be solved by force!” Su Yan directly exerted force with her feet to make herself stand on the table, roaring with an angry expression.

The chair that had lost its support fell to the ground.

When Xiao Ye saw that Su Yan was angry, he immediately acted like a bullied little girl. However, with his head lowered, he couldn’t help but mutter, “Force can’t solve everything, but it can solve everyone.”

“What did you say?” Su Yan glared.

“Uh, are you sure Treasure Hunting Mouse will come?” Xiao Ye immediately changed the topic.

“Hmph, we found out about the existence of Treasure Hunting Mouse only by casually asking around in Riverside City. Do you think the local tyrant, the Special Protection Department, doesn’t know about the existence of Treasure Hunting Mouse? Now, the Special Protection Department wants to find White Jade Lotus to restore its reputation. As long as the people in the Special Protection Department are not all idiots, there will naturally be smart people who will use the power of Treasure Hunting Mouse to take shortcuts.” Su Yan said with certainty.

“Yes, yes, Su Yan. You’ve reckoned accurately!” Xiao Ye flattered Su Yan.

“Hmph, I’m just cleaning up the mess for you! I can’t use this face next time. You have to compensate me!” Su Yan touched her face regretfully.

“I’ll compensate you. When we go back, I’ll buy all the new faces you like. You can use any new face you want.” Xiao Ye immediately patted his chest and promised.

“That sounds great. Eh, they’re here so quickly.” Su Yan raised her eyebrows and looked out of the window.

“Tsk tsk, they’re really bold. They only sent three people, and they’re very weak,” Xiao Ye pouted.

“Don’t kill them! Put on a show with them. Don’t forget that my goal is to please Treasure Hunting Mouse!” Su Yan instructed.

“Got it. Don’t worry.” Xiao Ye nodded.

Lin Zhendong had already seen the red line extending into an abandoned factory. He did not let the car drive in directly. Instead, he asked Xiao Bin to stop the car from afar. Then, he jumped a few times and directly jumped to the top of the building at the side. He looked at the abandoned factory in front of him.

Li Zhi’s voice suddenly came from beside him. “It’s hidden in that factory?”

Lin Zhendong turned his head and saw that Li Zhi silently appeared beside him, also looking at the factory in the distance.

Lin Zhendong was not surprised at all. It would be strange if Li Zhi did not have the ability.

He looked around the factory. The red line went straight into the factory and did not go out.

He nodded and said, “It should be in that factory. Let’s call for reinforcements.”

“Hehe, don’t underestimate us. The people of the Intelligence Department have faced more danger than that of the special forces on the front lines.” Li Zhi smiled proudly and said, “You can stay outside. Xiao Bin and I’ll go in.” He jumped down and landed beside the car.

After Li Zhi made a gesture, Xiao Bin immediately left the car and followed him to the factory.

“Do they think highly of themselves, or are they confident in their own strength?” Lin Zhendong didn’t know what to say. They didn’t even know the background of the enemies, but Li Zhi and Xiao Bin just rushed in like that.

“But their strength should be pretty good, right? Captain Li is C-rank, and Brother Xiao is D-rank. Out of all the people I know in Yuandong District, the two of them are already the best,” Lin Zhendong glanced at the information provided by the chip and muttered to himself.

Then, Lin Zhendong was conflicted. He thought it was not good for him to just watch aside, but it would be even worse if he followed them in and got all wiped out.

After all, he did not know the strength of the enemy, but those who dared to openly rob the Special Protection Department were definitely not weak.

Suddenly, there was a roar from inside the factory, accompanied by dust appearing and the sound of buildings collapsing, and it continued.

Realizing this situation, Lin Zhendong did not think about it anymore. He muttered to himself, “Oh, I should be the first member of the Special Protection Department to call the police in trouble, right? But there’s no other way. My superior is fighting now, and I don’t have the city department’s number. The people I know in the district department can’t get involved. I’m really helpless!” He took out his phone and called the police.

After confirming the address and hanging up the phone, Lin Zhendong sighed. Just as he was about to get involved in the battle that was getting more and more intense and was about to tear down the entire factory, he suddenly smelled a fragrance. Then, someone blew at his ear and snickered. “We meet again, Treasure Hunting Mouse.”

At this moment, the chip in his brain also showed a prompt, but Lin Zhendong didn’t have time to read it.

He immediately jumped down from a high place out of reflex. However, just as he landed, the ground cracked. Before he could get up, the beautiful woman who gave him a gold coin when they met the night before squatted in front of him with a smile. She supported her chin with one hand and played with his hair with the other. She sized Lin Zhendong up with a smile.

Lin Zhendong subconsciously exerted force in his palm and jumped back a few meters. He immediately took out his pistol.
