Xu Qian raised an eyebrow, surprised by how easily the person was provoked.
"Then let go," she said.
Hui Feichi snapped back to reality, realizing how strange their posture was.
He sat up, his voice cold. "Get lost, quickly."
Xu Qian ignored him and went directly to lie on the sofa outside.
C Base.
A man trembled, asking, "Commander Xiang, what do we do?"
The five of them were trapped in a mechanism set up by C Base.
These mechanisms were originally meant to capture Xu Qian, but now they had caught these five big rats.
Xiang Jintian said in a deep voice, "Let's split up and search. There's definitely an exit out."
He and Xu Qian had been to so many bases and always managed to escape. It was impossible that they wouldn't be able to.
C Base was not far from R Base, a two-hour flight to their destination.
Hui Feichi's complexion had improved significantly after waking up, and he disembarked the plane decisively.
For a moment, Xu Qian felt a pang of admiration for him. With a back that badly injured, he could still walk with his back straight; he had quite the resilience.
Before disembarking, Xu Qian put on her black hooded cloak, revealing only a sharp chin.
Soon, another passenger plane arrived. They hadn't brought many people, totaling just over fifty.
C Base was located within an industrial zone. One experimental building had been bombed, but the rest remained relatively intact.
Hui Feichi breathed a sigh of relief, glad the damage wasn't severe.
Most of the experimental data had been evacuated, so bombing one experimental building was not a significant loss.
The person in charge of C Base rushed forward, saying cautiously, "Young Master Hui, they are in the base."
Hui Feichi's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered the men in black to conduct a thorough search.
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly. They were still at C Base?
Hui Feichi shot her a glance. "Stay with me, no running around."
Xu Qian couldn't help but roll her eyes, choosing to ignore him.
The person in charge's eyes darted around, and he suggested, "Young Master Hui, shall I arrange for you and this young lady to rest for a while?"
Hui Feichi shook his head. "No need. Let's go to the office."
Xu Qian had no choice but to follow obediently.
The two began discussing base matters. Xu Qian, meanwhile, was contemplating how to escape.
If it really was Jintian, how should she save him?
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Come in."
A subordinate rushed in with a tablet.
"Young Master Hui, three mechanisms have been cleared. Two remain."
Hui Feichi glanced at the tablet and asked, "Have people been assigned?"
"Those two mechanisms are locked tight. We can't open them from the outside."
Hui Feichi narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Why can't they be opened?"
The subordinate dared not speak.
The person in charge quickly put on a smiling face. "Our security department people weren't prompt with their inspection. After this matter is resolved, I'll dismiss him immediately!"
Hui Feichi's face turned dark. He slammed the tablet onto the desk.
"Du Peng, I'm dismissing you right now!"
Du Peng narrowed his eyes and stood up straight.
He was naturally tall and thin, and had always stooped with a smiling face to fit in.
Now, his expression held a hint of mockery, and he seemed like a completely different person.
"Hui Feichi, I heard you were injured. Your abilities shouldn't be much, right?"
His eyes swept over Xu Qian from head to toe, and he chuckled, "And you brought a little treasure this time. Is she a gift for me to enjoy?"
C Base had originally been a remote base, and Hui Feichi rarely visited for inspections. He never expected them to have established their own domain.
"Du Peng!"
Hui Feichi's face turned red with anger. He truly hadn't expected a mere base supervisor to dare to usurp his authority.
"Hui Feichi, just stay put here. Xiang will probably be coming soon too, right?
When you're both in my hands, only the useless Song Xiaoan will be left.
From now on, the X Group will be in my hands, Du Peng! Hahahaha hahahaha!"
