Chapter 1304: Calling the Wind and Rain, Journey to the Continent 6
Just now he was asking Mingxu if he wanted to learn. Of course, he did want to learn.
They didn't notice for a moment that the man was approaching them again. It must be said that this guy really has a connection with them.
Soon, Xiaoxin came out of the bathroom with his backpack. The man breathed a sigh of relief after watching Xiaoxin leave with them. These people were the ones who had saved him before, and he clearly trusted them more than the others. Looking at the Black Snake organization members who were still searching for him not far away, the man's eyes were filled with hatred.
Nohara and his group quickened their pace, heading towards the hotel. Not far from them, in a corner, the man, covered in wounds, was hiding. He watched Mingxu and the others retreat. After they entered the hotel, he memorized its name and thought to himself, "I hope they won't be discovered and stay safe. This thing must not fall into the hands of those bad guys."
He also had to find a way to get back in touch with the organization. However, even his contact had betrayed him, or perhaps he had been a member of the Black Snake Organization from the beginning. Now he didn't know who to turn to...
"Well~ Let's take it one step at a time." The man sighed, looking around vigilantly while walking towards the alley.
Elsewhere, Banxia and her men were scattered across the streets, seemingly buying and selling goods, but in reality, they were searching for the man. They were determined to get that thing! As for that loser, Du Qin, they had been searching for him for so long with their men, finally catching him, only to have him escape without the item. Now, he was probably being punished by the leader.
Banxia was right. After the man escaped again, Duqin was captured and brought back to the base, where he knelt in front of the leader and trembled.
The leader's face was gloomy, his eyes slashing at Hemlock like knives, his voice so cold it seemed to freeze the air: "You can't even catch a wounded man, Hemlock. You're becoming more and more useless."
Du Qin's body trembled even more violently, and he did not dare to raise his head. He just kept kowtowing and muttering words of begging for mercy.
The leader snorted coldly, no longer paying attention to Hemlock, and turned to look at his men beside him, "Continue to intensify the search, and make sure to find that man and the things, and never let them fall into the hands of others. As for this waste, throw him into the dungeon and let him reflect on his mistakes!" As he said this, he pointed at Hemlock who was kowtowing below.
"No! Chief! No! I'm still useful! I can still help you with a lot of things! Chief! Chief!" Poison Hemlock was completely dumbfounded and kept begging for mercy, but it was no use. He was dragged away and thrown into the water dungeon.
Judging from his frightened expression, this dungeon must be an unexpectedly scary place.
The men took their orders and left. The leader sat in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest, pondering his next plan. He had four powerful men under his command, but he hadn't expected there to be such a useless person who couldn't even be captured. Banxia had already gone out to search for the remaining three. One of the other two needed to monitor everything outside the base, while the other was responsible for internal security and couldn't be deployed either. It was really a headache.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice. He was going to punish Poison Hemlock first. If there was no news from Banxia after a while, he would send him out. After all, Banxia was good at assassination and research, and had a high degree of concealment, while Poison Hemlock was better at searching and camouflage.
After making up his mind, the leader waved his hand, summoned his men, and gave them orders. The scene fell into darkness again, with only a voice audible: "I must get that thing, and I want everything inside!"
Meanwhile, Mingxu and his group had already returned to the hotel. Everyone sat together, seemingly chatting casually, but Mingxu and Chen Feng knew deep down that today's encounter was anything but simple. Guangzhi and Meiya also noticed the unusual atmosphere, but they didn't question it, remaining quietly by their family's side.
As soon as Xiaoxin returned to the room, he couldn't wait to throw his backpack on the bed, then threw himself on it, muttering: "I'm so tired today, but that dancing sister is so beautiful." Xiaokui also echoed him, giggling.
Mingxu looked at the innocent looks of Xiaoxin and Xiaokui and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. How could such a bad thing happen when his family was out playing? However, his family definitely couldn't let them get hurt.
He walked to the window, drew aside the curtains, and gazed at the nightscape outside, his thoughts drifting far away. Could this be another test from his future self? That mysterious man, the package in his hand, and the sudden appearance of the organization—what was their purpose this time? Treasure? He couldn't understand.
Hiroshi Misae didn't disturb them and took Shinnosuke and Aoi to the rooftop to watch the night view.
Chen Feng walked up to Mingxu, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "Don't think too much. If we are already involved in this matter, we can only face it bravely. Besides, we are not fighting alone. After all, this is my territory, and I can still get people!" When he said this, Chen Feng was very confident.
Mingxu turned and looked at Chen Feng, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. He nodded and said, "You're right. If we're involved, we can't back down. However, we know nothing about this Black Snake organization right now. We must learn their details as soon as possible so that we can formulate a response strategy."
At this moment, Mingxu's watch suddenly rang. He raised his hand and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
He hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the phone.
A deep female voice came from the other end of the phone: "The person on the other end, I give you until tomorrow morning to put the things in a mailbox three kilometers away. Otherwise, this guy, hehe~"
"Things? What things? We didn't take your things." Mingxu frowned and shook his head decisively.
"Haha, I advise you to just take it out. Don't get involved in this matter, otherwise, you and your family will be in danger." The person opposite continued to threaten.
"I don't understand." Mingxu said and looked at Chen Feng, pointing to the roof and motioning him to go up there to check. Chen Feng nodded in understanding and carefully left the room.
"Although I don't know where you got my number from, but you said everything. Are you really sure that what you want is in our hands? Do you have any brains? Are you stupid?" Mingxu looked at Chen Feng and started to argue directly.
"? No way, this guy clearly said that he put the things in your backpack." Banxia looked at the man under her feet with some uncertainty. He had become a pig-headed man. It was impossible that this guy was really tough and was still talking nonsense after being beaten like this by her, right?
"Hehe, who knows." Mingxu said unhappily, but his eyes also looked at Xiaoxin's backpack. After opening it, his pupils shrank slightly. Damn, there really is an extra box. What's in it?
But he would not expose himself, and continued in a cold voice: "Well, have you asked clearly? You are a dishonest person all day long. You believe whatever others say. Do you have any brains?" While Mingxu was speaking, he saw Chen Feng coming back with the others. Guangzhi Meiya's face was still a little frightened. It seemed that she had encountered something just now. Xiaoxin didn't react at all, and was still playing and fighting with Xiaokui.
At this time, Banxia's voice was heard again: "Haha, kid, you have some skills, but don't even think about finding my location. Although the master you contacted is indeed very strong, ours is not bad either. It is no problem to hold him off for a while! In addition, my request remains unchanged, hand over the things!" It seems that she has tortured the man again during this period.
Mingxu frowned and said coldly, "Who are you? Why do you think I'm afraid of your threats?"
A sneer came from the other end of the phone: "Hmph, having backbone is a good thing, but sometimes, backbone can also hurt you. You'd better take care of yourself." After that, the phone was hung up.
Mingxu frowned and lowered his wrist. He knew the other party was warning him, but looking at the box in his hand, Mingxu's eyes were also curious. What on earth could this thing be that would cause them to act so ostentatiously?
Mingxu gently placed the box on the table, his fingers caressing the lid, feeling the subtle lines on it. Chen Feng leaned over and whispered, "Do you want to open it and take a look? There might be some clues inside."
Mingxu shook his head and said, "Let's talk about this later. Let's first determine what they really want to do. Also, if we don't give them the things, how are we going to deal with their threats?"
Guangzhi and Meisai also gathered around. Meisai said nervously, "These people look dangerous. Should we call the police?"
Mingxu sighed and said, "Calling the police might alert the enemy, and we don't know their background yet. If they get desperate and do something that endangers our family's safety, it would be more trouble than good."
Mei Ya said with a worried look on her face, "What should we do? We can't just sit there and wait for death."
Guangzhi looked at Chen Feng and pleaded, "Let's not panic. Since they want this box, it means the contents are very important to them. We can use this to our advantage and negotiate with them. Chen Feng, can you find a way to find the source of this phone number?"
Chen Feng nodded and said, "No problem. I'll contact my friends here and see if I can find the other party's location through technical means." After that, Chen Feng walked aside and started making phone calls. Although Mingxu didn't think that his friend Chen Feng could do what Fatty Zaemon couldn't do, it was still a little hope.
