Chapter 1283: Confirming the Facts

Things had developed to this point, and Fang Zhou no longer had many choices left. Especially after being identified as a trap by Chief of Staff Wang, he had even less room to retreat.

“That bastard Ling Mo, actually played this trick on me without me even noticing… Now, even if I find a way to deal with the threat he poses to me, I’m completely tied to him… Even if I wanted to betray him, Chief of Staff Wang definitely wouldn’t believe me… This must be that bastard Ling Mo’s goal, right?”

After handing over most of the intelligence, Fang Zhou simply slumped into his chair: “The guy named Ling, I’ve done everything you asked me to do. Next, it’s up to you. If this plan still fails…” Fang Zhou secretly clenched his fists and let out a deep sigh, “then we’ll all die together!”

After listening to Fang Zhou’s account, Chief of Staff Wang fell into silent contemplation. It wasn’t until he had finished two more glasses of red wine that he suddenly spoke: “If you really are a trap, then what you just said should be exactly what Ling Mo wants you to tell me, right? Alright, I understand. Now, give me the note Chen Wen wrote.”

Fang Zhou silently took the note out of his pocket… When he was brought here, Ah Lan had put the note back on him. Judging by her actions, she probably didn’t want the two people escorting him to see what was written on it, right? This really fit Chief of Staff Wang’s usual style… not trusting anyone.

“Hmm… I see. Although that Survivor didn’t get Chen Wen to reveal much, there is one fact that you two have corroborated with each other… Ling Mo deliberately let you go. It was to lure me into a trap, but what he didn’t know was that the Survivor who came to take you away had one of our people with them. So in the end, he outsmarted himself.” Chief of Staff Wang smiled as he pinched the note.

“Also… to be honest, I was still a bit wary. I’m not one to take risks, and I never act rashly on uncertain matters. But if there are too many possibilities, I’ll find ways to eliminate some of them. Like probing that group, or sending that Survivor to scout the hospital… All of this was to clear away some of the Mist that Ling Mo released. But unexpectedly, even though things didn’t go as I planned, the results of the probing, and you, whom Ling Mo prepared for me, still helped me confirm the situation. Ling Mo is indeed in that hospital, and he’s set a trap there. The other team’s purpose is just to confuse us, to act as a decoy to lure me out.”

Chief of Staff Wang suddenly looked up and said, “Ling Mo is telling me that he’s waiting for me there!”

Fang Zhou’s heart trembled as he listened… He understood what Chief of Staff Wang meant! This suspicious man was saying that if it was only Fang Zhou’s confession, he still wouldn’t have taken the bait. But the problem was, there was a third person involved in this matter, and this third person happened to have control over Chen Wen, who knew the truth about the probe. So, Chief of Staff Wang finally believed it!

“Although I don’t know what kind of trap Ling Mo has prepared for me, just knowing that he’s really there is enough. Now, for me, what Ling Mo has set up is an open scheme, waiting for me to jump in. But at the same time, his original goal is now ruined. If you take all the factors into account, Ling Mo’s intention isn’t hard to guess. His original plan must have been to make me probe the hospital after hearing your account, and he could take the opportunity to probe our situation. With all these layers of truth and lies, sooner or later we’d be led step by step into his pit. But the fact now is, I already know his details, but he still knows nothing about us.” Chief of Staff Wang suddenly crushed his wine glass with a “crack” and said, “And he won’t get another chance at this…”

He looked at Fang Zhou and said, “Captain Fang, let’s watch this play together…”

Fang Zhou swallowed hard on the spot… Was it starting already?

A few minutes later, inside the town’s elementary school.

“Alright, I understand.” Ah Lan nodded as she held the Communicator.

Chief of Staff Wang’s voice continued to come from the other end of the Communicator: “According to the reasoning, at this time, Ling Mo shouldn’t know the exact locations of these two places, and probably doesn’t even know we’ve split into teams. But what can be confirmed one hundred percent is that he doesn’t know about my side. So, I can only judge based on this. You all move out, we’ll act as the backup. The reason we split into teams in the first place was to support each other. Now, just assume you’ve already been exposed and treat yourselves as the front team.”

He spoke in a very calm tone, and Ah Lan didn’t show any surprise either. Only Fang Zhou, listening beside Chief of Staff Wang, showed a strange expression… The so-called front team, wasn’t that just the suicide squad sent to wear down the enemy? Thinking about how Chief of Staff Wang’s team was also a candidate for the front team before, Fang Zhou couldn’t help but think: This Wang guy… really is ruthless to everyone.

But such a fierce action was probably something Ling Mo hadn’t expected. So at this thought, Fang Zhou couldn’t help but grow anxious again.

“Yes.” After Chief of Staff Wang finished speaking, Ah Lan nodded, but before putting down the Communicator, she hesitated slightly.

Chief of Staff Wang immediately caught this slight anomaly and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you scared?”

Ah Lan shook her head and said, “Of course not. But…” She asked, “Don’t you have anything to say?”

Chief of Staff Wang was silent for a moment, then said, “No, let’s move out.”

“Alright…” A trace of disappointment flashed across Ah Lan’s face, but she quickly returned to her meticulous demeanor. Then, she turned off the Communicator, looked up, and said, “Let’s begin the operation!” ȓ𝒶Ꞑ𝖔฿ĚŠ

“Yes!” came the response from outside the door.

Everyone who came here was someone who, for various reasons, was prepared to die…

Moments later, a team left the elementary school.

And not long after their figures disappeared, a white figure emerged from the weeds across the road.

When this white figure first came out, its size wasn’t too big, but it quickly “poofed” and swelled to about the size of a small truck.

Mutation panda Xiao Bai shook its head vigorously, and suddenly a figure climbed up from its back.

Pear stuck her head out and glanced into the school, saying, “Hmph… This is the scene that damned human wanted us to observe, isn’t it?”

Right after, another figure walked out of the grass. This person was dragging someone else by the hand, and as soon as she appeared, she took a deep breath and said, “Hmm… There’s no one left in the school. So many people moving at once, looks like they’re going all out against that damned human. Pear, what’s the next step that human told us?”

Pear snorted and said, “He told us to follow these people, report their positions at any time, and preferably delay them a bit before they reach the hospital. There’s no need to kill these people right away, because they’re not the main point. No choice, let’s follow them… Hey! Why are you rushing out on your own!”

“MeGu!” On the street, a white shadow suddenly darted out, chasing in the direction where the team had disappeared. It looked huge, but ran without a sound.

Ban Yue stood where she was, watching Xiao Bai and Pear disappear, and said with a conflicted expression, “Forget it… I have to follow anyway… Ah! Damn human! Why am I always bullied by a human! And it’s always the same human!”

While growling in a low voice, Ban Yue was already dragging the unconscious Simple and rushing out. After bumping along the ground twice, Simple groggily opened her eyes and said, “Eh? What’s going on? Where are we? What are we doing?”

“Bang!”

Just as she finished asking, her head slammed into a car.

“So mean…”

Simple rolled her eyes and fainted again.

“Wait!”

But Ban Yue still dragged her along, as if she hadn’t heard anything, and continued to dash forward.

“When I finish this war, I’ll kill that human! This time for sure! Ahhh! Wait for me!”
