Chapter 118: I

~6 min read 1,169 words

Hearing Liu Shuang's words, I didn't know what to say. I understood Liu Shuang's feelings at this moment. If this happened to me, I would definitely go 100%. This was just how things were.

Seeing me silent, Liu Shuang handed me something like a USB drive, then pushed me aside and left.

Watching Liu Shuang leave, and looking at the USB drive in my hand, I stood there feeling a bit melancholy. However, the breakthrough was the USB drive in my hand; this was likely the powerful evidence Liu Shuang left for me, or some other good thing. It was basically certain to be useful.

I looked around, saw no one, and shouted: "Feng Chen, are you there?"

Not long after, Feng Chen appeared behind me and said: "Are you crazy? Why are you shouting on the street? Didn't I give you a phone number?"

"I have the number, but it's not as fast as shouting!"

"Are you crazy? This is a classified mission, don't shout randomly, what if you get discovered? If you have something, call me!"

"Alright, alright, I know. Take this first, Liu Shuang gave it to me. It should be some evidence, take a look. I still have things to do, I need to catch up with Liu Shuang and see!" I hurriedly handed the USB drive to Feng Chen and turned to leave.

Feng Chen took the USB drive, saw I was leaving, and grabbed me: "What are you doing? Are you crazy? Going over there now is no different from seeking death. The Li family must have prepared people to deal with Liu Shuang. If you get captured too, our plan will be ruined, do you know that?"

"Of course I know, but precisely because of that, I must go find Liu Shuang. If Liu Shuang is captured by Li Hong, it will be even harder for us to handle later, so I must go!"

Seeing my persistence, Feng Chen said helplessly: "Alright, alright, I know. Be careful, don't get yourself caught!"

"Alright, I know, I have a plan!" After saying this, I quickly followed the direction Liu Shuang had left.

I followed Liu Shuang to the internet cafe from before. But the cafe was so messy, they couldn't possibly be doing it inside the cafe, right? Could there be other places inside?

I secretly looked inside the cafe. The cafe was operating normally, the people who should be surfing the web were surfing, and there was no other movement, which made me a bit confused.

I entered the cafe and didn't see anything.

I helplessly found a machine and sat down, but found no movement. It felt like Liu Shuang had evaporated. I clearly saw Liu Shuang enter this internet cafe, but I couldn't find him anywhere. This made no sense. I had looked at everyone here carefully. Unless there was some secret passage or tunnel like in novels, but even if there was, I couldn't find it now. After all, there were so many people here, and there were cafe staff; it was impossible to find.

I sat here for over an hour and didn't see Liu Shuang's shadow. Calling Liu Shuang also resulted in no ringtone, and no one answered. He was likely in trouble.

Helplessly, I had to leave the internet cafe. I called Feng Chen to tell him Liu Shuang was gone. The dean's situation had also been reported to the police, but since there was no evidence, the authorities had no substantial evidence to convict Li Hong. Moreover, the Li family's influence in our city was quite large, so they couldn't easily move against Li Hong. They needed at least some evidence to make an arrest.

However, the school only claimed the dean and Liu Shuang were absent due to family matters. Only I knew they were in trouble. As for how they were doing now, I wasn't sure, but it probably wasn't good.

Recently, I suddenly received an unexpected call. It was actually from Huang Laohu, who said he wanted to see me and told me to bring San Mao.

I found Huang Laohu's sudden abnormal behavior strange, but I still took San Mao with me, because I felt Huang Laohu probably didn't have any malicious intent and might really have something to discuss.

San Mao and I arrived at Huang Laohu's bar. Upstairs, I originally thought Huang Laohu's private room would be full of women or people playing around, but to my surprise, when I opened the door, Huang Laohu and a group of people were sitting around a round table, seemingly discussing something. Their expressions were not good, and it felt like something major was happening.

Seeing me enter, Huang Laohu quickly said to San Mao and me: "Brother Yang is here, sit, sit!"

San Mao and I quickly walked over, but awkwardly, I discovered that the round table was already full, and there were no seats for us.

San Mao and I stood awkwardly to the side and said: "Tiger Brother, where should we sit?"

Huang Laohu suddenly looked over and quickly stood up: "Oh, oh, oh, how could I forget to give Brother Yang a seat? Come, come, everyone squeeze over and make two seats for Brother Yang and his friend?"

However, when everyone heard Huang Laohu's words, their expressions were uncertain as they looked at San Mao and me, their eyes revealing a lot of disdain. One middle-aged tattooed man, who was sitting cross-legged on a stool and playing with a knife, snorted: "Why should we give up our seats to them? Where did these little brats come from? What qualifications do they have to sit with us?"

"Exactly, who are they? I've never seen them before. Looking at them, they're just little brats who just came out of school, they should hurry home and find their mothers. This isn't a place for you!"

"Tiger Brother, this time I'm not saying anything, but bringing these two people to our gathering, isn't that a bit inappropriate!"

Many voices of dissatisfaction and disdain came from around, basically all trying to squeeze us out. However, a few lowered their heads and didn't speak, as if they were observing something.

Seeing this situation, Huang Laohu didn't get angry, but smiled and looked at everyone: "Brother Yang is not an ordinary person. I don't think there's anything inappropriate about him sitting down. As for whoever objects, please stand up first!"

The tattooed man playing with the knife who spoke first stood up again and said: "I, Li Wei, just don't agree, I just object. A little brat dares to sit in this seat? I'll give up my seat now, does he dare to sit? Does he dare?"

San Mao had long since been mocked mercilessly by these people, and his rage had already been pent up to the point of discomfort; hearing Li Wei's words just now, he directly grabbed the tattooed man's chair and barked, "I'm sitting here today, what can you do about it?"
