"Don't ask me how I know, just listen carefully. According to the information, they don't have many bombs and want to achieve maximum effect while keeping their location hidden. The placement of the bombs is traceable," Zhao Chen said, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he picked up a pen and paper from his office, sketching furiously. He spoke into a pin on his collar, communicating with someone on the other end.
On the other side, Liang Wuxuan, who had previously seemed indifferent, quickly grabbed a pen and paper from Beside's desk and began doodling after hearing Zhao Chen's voice.
Zhao Liang, with a disabled hand, was much slower in his actions.
Yang Xiaoyou and Feng Lin had been standing together, seemingly with nothing to do. However, at that moment, Yang Xiaoyou projected a three-dimensional image of the entire Conference Building in his mind. Several optimal locations appeared instantly; his advantage in this aspect could not simply be compensated for by others relying solely on intelligence.
While Liu Lianyue was still conversing with Zhao Chen and Zhao Liang had just found a pen and paper, Yang Xiaoyou directly stated, "This fellow has only just arranged things. The person placing the bombs should have just started moving. Feng Lin and I will take him out first, then head to the bomb placement site to resolve that issue. We might even need to wait for an opportunity. Here, I found two spare handguns; you can use them."
He stood up and pulled two handguns from his coat, placing them in front of Liu Lianyue and Zhao Liang. Yang Xiaoyou and Feng Lin then headed toward the door. There was no way two people could handle the bomb placement site; everyone needed to act together.
Watching Yang Xiaoyou, who usually looked delicate and fragile as if he could be blown away by the wind, pull out two large caliber handguns left Liu Lianyue and Zhao Liang in a state of shock. Liu Lianyue even temporarily ignored the sounds coming from her earpiece, seemingly unable to handle the shock of what she was witnessing.
Picking up the handgun in front of him, Zhao Liang examined it as if checking whether it was real or not. He then looked at the slender Yang Xiaoyou, feeling utterly bewildered.
"We don't have time for hesitation; these guns were found. Don't overthink it. Besides, wasn't it made clear? I'm a Mercenary specializing in bomb disposal," Yang Xiaoyou said half-jokingly yet seriously as he opened the office door.
Afterward, he gestured for Feng Lin to take charge of the situation outside. Without hesitation, she dashed out.
Suddenly, the office door burst open. A bearded White Man and his henchmen were startled; without hesitation, they opened fire. Anyone who had overheard their conversation had to die.
However, a brownish-yellow figure suddenly emerged, completely ignoring the bullets flying their way. The figure's body erupted with sparks as metal clashed against metal.
As they were preparing to take action, a figure suddenly pushed off the ground with great force, darting through them like a bolt of lightning.
Standing behind them, sword sheathed, was Feng Lin, while the few petrified fellows around him had just sustained several gushing wounds, collapsing to the ground.
At that moment, Yang Xiaoyou emerged from behind the door. In the narrow corridor, feeling somewhat sluggish, he found it difficult to cope with the scene before him.
At the stairwell on the first floor of the Conference Building, Yang Xiaoyou picked up a yellow-brown plastic box from the hand of a corpse with a broken neck. "If it's just this kind of thing, then its weight isn't significant. This issue should be nearly resolved."
Shaking his head in self-talk, Yang Xiaoyou proceeded to the next location.
Although his identity had been slightly exposed, it was overshadowed by Feng Lin's brilliance and didn't stand out much.
Well, anyway, being an ordinary Mercenary wasn't something to be ashamed of. Since Liang Wuxuan knew about it, there was no harm in letting the other two guess. One was a member of the Progressive Faction, which had a less reputable standing than Mercenaries, and the other was an old hand who had crawled through life under his parents' cover. Although it might bring some extra trouble compared to usual, it was still manageable.
Using the identity of an outer member of Hive Security Company sometimes allowed for more freedom without needing to hold back.
"Hey, you’re not really a Mercenary, are you?" Liu Lianyue asked nervously as he watched Yang Xiaoyou in front of him fiddling with two hairpins while disassembling a bomb that had already been set up.
"Guess for yourself." Skillfully cutting through a wire, Yang Xiaoyou replied nonchalantly. Everyone handled bomb disposal quite well; only this one had been successfully placed. Originally, Zhao Liang was supposed to take on this risky task, but seeing his pathetic state, Yang Xiaoyou ultimately took over. Generally speaking, people's focus was limited; the stronger his skills appeared in disassembly, the less others would suspect his other abilities.
"I remember when I investigated him before; I noted that his specialty was assembling model figures. It seems his skills are closely related to this aspect. Has he really caught the attention of some Mercenary group?" Zhao Liang expressed some exasperation at that moment. The deception he usually displayed was indeed overwhelming; even just pretending to be a technical member had a significant impact on everyone around him.
"Think whatever you want; anyway, if there's no evidence, I won't admit to your guesses. Done." After cutting off the power supply, Yang Xiaoyou dismantled the bomb.
"Alright, now let's talk about why Zhao Chen is here. I think he's much more mysterious than I am," Yang Xiaoyou said after finishing his task and turned towards Zhao Chen, who stood nearby with a slightly bruised face.
Hmm, this guy was brought out by Yang Xiaoyou when the opportunity arose. There was no choice; carrying the pressure alone was a bit much. It was good to drag someone out to share the burden, and without a doubt, Zhao Chen was the perfect candidate. Among the others involved, he was Liang Wuxuan's deputy, Zhao Liang's brother, and also the leader of Liu Lianyue, making him far more eye-catching than my role as a 'demolitionist.'
At the same time, managing this way could create a better balance, ensuring that there wouldn't be any unexpected incidents on Biliang's side, with everyone holding onto each other's weaknesses.
"What are you all thinking? My brother knows about this. I'm just an outer member of the Common Unity Party. I was recognized by the Leader and brought into the Progressive Faction midway. I haven't really made my presence known until now; this time I received his instructions and wanted to assist. He should have left by now." Perhaps wanting to seize this opportunity to help the Progressive Faction out of its predicament, Zhao Chen explained while bringing up the involvement of the Progressive Faction.
In response to this, beside him, Zhao Liang furrowed his brow slightly but didn't say much. Now that he had 'retired,' he had become indifferent to many matters.
At this moment, Yang Xiaoyou also seemed unconcerned. Previously, he had been quite displeased with the Progressive Faction. However, now that the Common Unity Party was involved with an organization he disliked even more, Yang Xiaoyou realized that the Progressive Faction seemed to have its own value. If the Common Unity Party had its own Force foundation, it wouldn't need to rely on organizations at all. The last time the organization sent someone to capture him was also due to considerations related to placing a Soft Nail within the Progressive Faction.
In such times, allowing the Progressive Faction to enhance its presence and elevate its status aligned with his interests.
As for Zhao Chen's words in the current scenario, his credibility indeed appeared quite high. The appearance of a second member of the Progressive Faction at Yuying Middle School assisting 'that Leader' was very likely, especially since Liu Lianyue's example was right there.
Zhao Chen's boldness in addressing the issue stemmed largely from his relationships with those present: a Mercenary, another member of the Progressive Faction, and a girl with explosive combat power who had clearly killed before—all identities that were not meant to be in the spotlight. The mutual restraint among them wasn't a big deal. The only one who might pose a problem was Liang Wuxuan; however, she held secrets about everyone else as well. My own not-so-big secret being exposed wouldn’t be too damaging.
Under Feng Lin's inhuman combat prowess and due to the scale of the airport, which made crowds appear somewhat sparse, along with Zhao Chen bringing up certain issues here, Yang Xiaoyou found that his previously alarming Mercenary identity became less noticeable. With these problems arising consecutively, adding another Mercenary didn’t seem like much at all!
