Chapter 600 - 598: Exposed
As for the way back, he probably couldn’t know it, because during this time, they all had to stay here. The boss had already prepared half a month’s worth of food supplies, and only after this batch of goods was shipped out could they take some time to rest.
After Zhang Yufei got the note, she quickly stuffed it into her pocket. Although she hadn’t looked at its contents, she could guess the general idea of what Li Jun wanted to say. The purpose of their secret entry was clear, and the information Li Jun needed to give them was definitely about the mission.
Soon, Zhang Yufei was taken to the warehouse. This wasn’t very important to her because, even if she saw the warehouse now, it was just the endpoint, and she didn’t know how to get there at all.
So, after taking a look for a while, she confirmed that there were sufficient stockpiles, and then she hurriedly left.
Hu Fei didn’t think much of it, the goods were just to be looked at casually. Knowing that the Earth Dragon Organization indeed had so much inventory was all it meant, nothing of much significance.
When leaving, it was the same way as when coming. Zhang Yufei merely smiled wryly; these people really thought their actions were seamless, but little did they know, they had long been seen through by her.
After Zhang Yufei walked out of the cave, as soon as her eyes opened, she saw a young man walking towards her. His presence was impressive; although he was about the same age as Zhang Yufei, he had an air of maturity that comes with having experienced life’s ups and downs.
"Big brother, Liu Qi, you are all here, I brought Master Xue along." Peng Wanli felt a sense of relief, carried with Xue Kong all the way, without a single word spoken, almost suffocating him.
"Ah? Master Xue, my apologies for not welcoming you sooner, forgive me." As soon as Hu Fei heard it was Xue Kong, he immediately walked over and said respectfully.
"Oh, no problem, I’m here to assist you, no need to be so polite, I’m just doing my duty."
Xue Kong said coldly. He came to help Earth Dragon through difficult times; the higher-ups had received the news that over these few days, there might be police sneaking into Earth Dragon’s ranks.
"Haha, great, with Master Xue’s help, our work will be a lot easier in the future." Hu Fei quickly flattered.
Xue Kong still smiled coldly, saying nothing more as he had no interest in useless flattery, and having spent an entire day flying, he was a bit tired, now just wanting to take some rest.
"I’m tired, can I get a room to rest?"
Xue Kong finally couldn’t hold back, wondering how these people handle things. Didn’t they see that he had come a long way, couldn’t they settle him in comfortably first, instead of dragging him to the cave entrance as if he liked looking at their broken factory?
Xue Kong cursed inwardly, but on the surface, he still appeared so calm and composed, showing no excitement or anger.
The original Xue Kong was not like this; he was a lively and cheerful young man, but ever since suffering amnesia, the higher-ups in the Black Alliance instilled too many cold thoughts in him, gradually changing him.
"Ah, got it, Wanli, what were you thinking; didn’t you notice that Master Xue came all the way here? Could you not settle him in first, or did something go wrong with your brain?"
Hu Fei spoke bluntly, but one has to admit that Hu Fei was a shrewd person, if he hadn’t said it, the responsibility might have been on them.
Firstly, the Ran Family’s Xue Kong coming was a powerful support. With him, they didn’t have to worry about what kind of attacks the police might launch; as long as guns weren’t fired, no number of experts they sent would be a match.
Zhang Yufei didn’t know Xue Kong, but from his glance, she did see the figure of someone familiar.
Yes, that was Chen Tianlong; not only were their temperaments somewhat alike, but their way of doing things was also similar. If not for the difference in appearances, Zhang Yufei almost mistook him.
"Boss Hu, I’ve got to go too, I have matters to deal with once I get back." Zhang Yufei was also eager to go out and look at that note. If it contained relevant information, she could quickly inform the director to completely encircle and annihilate Earth Dragon.
But her urgency brought Xue Kong, who had been somewhat drowsy, back to alertness. After carefully observing the young beauty before him, he noticed something was off.
This person seemingly had the aura of a wealthy person, but didn’t possess the arrogance, laziness, or disregard of others typical of one, more so, carried an aura of justice.
"Okay, Boss Chen, let me escort you out then."
Hu Fei smiled and said. As for Xue Kong, although he was an important figure, he was here to help hold the fort, and would always be in the stronghold, whereas Zhang Yufei was their cash cow. Compared to the two, Hu Fei still leaned more towards Zhang Yufei.
Besides, with Peng Wanli taking care of Xue Kong, he could rest assured, knowing they were brothers, what capabilities they had he couldn’t possibly be unaware of?
"Hold on!"
Just then, Xue Kong, who had been silent all along, lightly uttered a word, causing the surrounding people to immediately cease their discussions, all staring intently at Xue Kong, unclear of his intentions.
The next moment, Xue Kong was seen walking towards Zhang Yufei, and then coldly smiling as he said: "Excuse me, who are you and what are you doing here?"
"Haha, Master Xue, this is my customer, here for an inspection of the plant." Hu Fei thought Xue Kong misunderstood, quickly speaking up to stop him.
"Hu Fei, could you shut your mouth for a moment? Even if I’m here to help you, you ought to be clear about my identity. Earth Dragon is merely a small branch under us; one must acknowledge hierarchy."
Xue Kong directly asserted his identity, refusing to let anyone interfere with his suspicions. The same applied even in the Black Alliance, except for the Gang Leader Red-eyed Eagle, no one else dared to interrupt him.
"Huh?"
Hu Fei was startled, never expecting Xue Kong to lose his temper. What was going on? The person was his customer, they hadn’t done anything wrong, merely explaining the situation.
"Miss, please answer my question."
Xue Kong remained poised, but Zhang Yufei became somewhat at a loss, knowing that this person was the expert Zhao Bing talked about, the one sent by the higher-ups, her body couldn’t help but tremble.
"Hmph, acting all arrogant, I’m a major client of Earth Dragon, we are only about making money together, knowing you have some strength, they fear you, but I’m not afraid." Zhang Yufei said this while straightening her chest directly.
"Haha... haha..." Xue Kong suddenly laughed out loud, "Indeed, just as I expected, self-incriminating. Someone, arrest this woman for me."
"Ah? What’s happening?"
Hu Fei and the others were evidently still unaware of the situation, expressing surprise and confusion as they asked: "Master Xue, what’s going on? She’s my client, hasn’t she offended you?"
"A bunch of fools, getting tricked without knowing, still speaking up for others, truly idiots."
Every sentence Xue Kong said was basically scolding them, making them feel somewhat embarrassed.
After all, this was their turf, yet being harshly scolded by a superior head-on, Hu Fei just felt his face burning, really wanting to hit someone.
