“Liu Nan has been kidnapped, just just just…”

Yuan Nannan was flustered and unable to organize her words properly.

“Don’t panic, take it slow.”

Seeing Yuan Nannan stumbling over her words, He Ao placed his mobile phone on the cabinet, took a disposable plastic cup, and poured her a cup of water from his thermos.

“Uh…

Uh…” Anxious Yuan Nannan subconsciously took the cup.

He Ao’s composure infected her, helping her calm down a bit and gradually organize her language,

“We …

we were just about to take a taxi home when suddenly there was an explosion, boom!

Then Liu Nan grabbed me and we started running …

and she even hailed a car …

We had just gotten in the car …

when a man, covered in red, with muscles all over, an incredibly strong person, kidnapped Liu Nan.

He was terrifying; he just ripped off the car door …

just like that …

rip, tear, rip …

just tore it off …”

Yuan Nannan tried to demonstrate the ‘rip, tear’ action, but ended up spilling the water from her cup instead, part of it splashing onto the glass cabinet, the rest soaking her clothes.

He Ao handed her some tissues to wipe her clothes.

Although Yuan Nannan’s story was disjointed, He Ao roughly understood what she was trying to say.

He was about to speak when suddenly Zhang Ansha’s voice came from the phone, “It’s Bull!

Bull is the one who kidnapped Liu Nan.”

He Ao used a smartphone often seen in the hands of the elderly, cheap but with loud sound quality.

Even though He Ao hadn’t put it on speakerphone, Zhang Ansha’s voice still reached the ears of both He Ao and Yuan Nannan successfully.

“What Bull?

Where is there a bull?”

Yuan Nannan was bewildered for a moment.

“It’s nothing, just wait a moment.”

He Ao nodded at Yuan Nannan, turned down the volume on his phone, and placed it to his ear.

He thought Zhang Ansha had already hung up; he didn’t expect Zhang Ansha to have been eavesdropping the whole time.

“He Ao, the mission has changed.

You’re familiar with the area nearby; do you have any idea where to find Bull?

All you need to do is delay for a while, just make sure to keep Liu Nan safe from harm until I get back.”

Zhang Ansha’s voice was notably deeper, indicating that the situation had spiraled beyond his control.

“Based on my location, in which direction are you currently, and what does your surrounding environment look like?

Does Bull know which direction you left in?”

Instead of answering directly, He Ao asked in return.

“West, I’m surrounded by rural self-built houses, and there are some construction sites around,” Zhang Ansha thought for a moment, “Bull’s accomplice led me away, so he should know the direction I went.”

Then He Ao looked at the still puzzled Yuan Nannan, “Where were you attacked just now?”

“At a crossroads, Liu Nan was pulling me away, I wasn’t paying attention to the surroundings.”

Yuan Nannan was clearly confused for a moment.

“Are there any distinctive buildings or items nearby?”

He Ao pressed on.

“There’s a main road, trees, and cars…”

Yuan Nannan tried to remember carefully.

He Ao: ……

“Any people?”

“No people.”

Yuan Nannan shook her head.

The only places nearby without people and with broad roads were the crossroads not far to the north.

The factories around that intersection didn’t operate night shifts, and the dormitories weren’t nearby, so there were basically no people passing by after evening.

And coincidentally, the direction Liu Nan had pulled Yuan Nannan away was towards the north.

He Ao quickly responded to the surrounding terrain in his mind and roughly estimated the position of the crossroads; then he opened his mouth to ask Zhang Ansha, “Do you have any companions?”

Zhang Ansha dared to chase out confidently; he must have reliable teammates.

“Yes,” Zhang Ansha’s reply was also quick; he seemed to be on the move all the time, “She should have been following Liu Nan all along, but I can’t contact her now.

I didn’t hang up just now because I wanted to ask you to go find her.”

“Mm,” He Ao then turned his gaze to Yuan Nannan, “Did you see any strange people when you were ambushed just now?”

“No?

Seems like yes?” Yuan Nannan thought for a moment, not sure how to explain, “It’s like at the moment of the explosion, I saw two figures whoosh by, crossing to the other side of the road in an instant.

I didn’t get a clear look.”

“Which direction did they go?”

He Ao asked, then thought for a moment, dipped his hand in the water that had just been spilled on the counter, and quickly sketched a simple cross map.

He pointed at the bottommost point, “This is my stall,” freёwebnoѵel.com

Then he pointed forward to a crossroads, “This should be where you were just standing.

Which way did those two people go?”

“It seemed to be this way!”

This time, Yuan Nannan pointed in a direction.

“Then it’s the north,” He Ao roughly understood the situation and spoke softly into the phone, “It looks like your teammate was lured away, which is why they were able to capture Liu Nan.”

“Mm,” Zhang Ansha also heard the conversation between the two just now, “Our intelligence was wrong; we only had information on Bull.”

“So there might still be people around Bull?”

He Ao keenly seized the keyword.

“No, hiding two people is already their limit; they don’t have that many people.”

This time Zhang Ansha spoke with certainty, then immediately followed up with, “So do you have any leads now?

Can you find Bull?”

“Yes,” He Ao answered calmly, “But it’ll cost more.”

“Fine, ten thousand as a base pay, and after the event, you name your price.”

Zhang Ansha immediately said.

The ten thousand hiring fee just now was actually the cost of asking He Ao to act, to help hold off Bull for a while, until he could return.

Yesterday, Zhang Ansha had seen the traces of Bull clumsily escaping over the window of He Ao’s house, so he judged that this task should be easy for He Ao; the ten thousand was mainly the fee for He Ao’s action.

Now that the nature of the task had changed, he let He Ao name his price directly.

And He Ao’s display of clear logic just now had moved him; all he was thinking about now was how to trick…

recruit this kid into the Research Institute after everything was over.

Of course, He Ao didn’t know Zhang Ansha’s current thoughts, but he knew that Zhang Ansha must have suspected that he was a Transcendent by now, but he didn’t say it, nor did Zhang Ansha ask.

The two tacitly kept quiet about this matter.

The Research Institute Zhang Ansha belonged to was clearly a secretive, large organization, and most likely one that belonged to the side of order.

For He Ao, when he realized that the world was starting to change, he consciously started looking for ways to secure a stable source of intelligence.

In changing times, large organizations often have access to much more information before individuals can.

And in this world, the most important thing is information.

A disparity in information could be the difference between life and death.

It’s like drinking paraquat would be beyond saving even by the gods, while drinking ordinary pesticides and getting one’s stomach pumped could save them.

For someone who only intends to threaten others by drinking pesticide without really wanting to die, whether they know about the toxicity of paraquat could be the difference between life and death.

Zhang Ansha was smart enough, and friendly enough.

So He Ao was very willing to cooperate with him once, and his agreement to this employment also included a gesture of returning the favor.
