Chapter 127: What the Hell is a Company?
Suddenly, a ringing sound echoed. It seemed to be coming from Jiang Tongshan.
Tang Ze looked back and patted Jiang Nana’s butt. “Go get it for Master.”
Jiang Nana ran over to Jiang Tongshan with a laugh like tinkling bells. She looked at him with confusion. Who is this old man? His face is all smashed up. How pathetic. She reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a Huawei Mate 60 Pro.
“Master, who are they?” Jiang Nana asked curiously.
Tang Ze took the phone and smiled. “You guess.”
“They must be trying to harm Master, right?”
Tang Ze nodded with a straight face.
“I’ll go kill them for Master.”
With that, she turned around, picked up a gun, and started spraying bullets wildly, her pretty face filled with excitement and madness.
Xi Meng and Li Linger furrowed their elegant brows. The little girl had completely lost it. Ye Qingyi let out a long sigh of relief.
Tang Ze looked at the caller ID.
Manager.
Naturally, Tang Ze had to answer.
“Hello.”
In Hua’an City, the Manager was stunned. Why was it a young voice? Who would give this phone to someone else?
He said with displeasure, “Get Jiang Tongshan on the phone!”
“He’s probably not available to take your call right now. If you have something to say, you can tell me,” Tang Ze said with a light laugh.
The Manager frowned, his voice low. “Who are you?”
“I’m a food delivery driver. A nobody.”
“Did you kill Jiang Tongshan?”
“No.” Tang Ze felt he was being very honest. He never lied.
“Then where is he?!”
“He was killed by my kittens.”
The Manager: “…”
What kittens? What’s the difference? “Are you messing with me?!”
“If you think so, then I guess I am.”
The corner of the Manager’s mouth twitched. He had just given Jiang Tongshan his instructions, and he had been taken out. Both of the people he had chosen had been eliminated. If word of this reached the higher-ups, his position would probably be in jeopardy.
“You should be glad I have a lot of things to do right now,” the Manager said coldly through gritted teeth.
“Why don’t we just remove the ‘be glad’ part? I don’t think it’s very useful.”
When had the Manager ever been provoked like this? Everyone else was always respectful. But right now, he really didn’t have time to deal with Tang Ze. The situation in Hua’an City was more serious than he had imagined. Now, the person he had arranged for in Yunhai City was also gone. He had to activate the secondary contact.
Seeing that the Manager wasn’t speaking, Tang Ze dropped another bombshell. “Chu Liu and Lu Yudié are in my hands.”
“What! In your hands? Heh, how am I supposed to believe you?” The Manager even suspected Tang Ze was a powerful con artist trying to get something out of him. It was all Jiang Tongshan’s fault for being so useless, unable to handle such a small matter.
“Believe it or not, it’s up to you. Think it over before you call this number again.”
With that, Tang Ze hung up and prepared to take the girls back to the hotel.
But before leaving, Ye Qingyi sent a few Great Fireballs toward the manor. The entire estate was instantly engulfed in flames, burning away her past. From this day forward, she belonged completely and utterly to her Master.
…
Far away in Hua’an City, the Manager stood in the Shanhu Complex, surrounded by many staff members in black work uniforms. Some of the desiccated corpses were being bagged and taken away.
“Manager, from the wounds on these people, it seems they were all done by the same person,” a staff member in a protective suit and mask reported.
“The same person? So many people, killed by one person?”
“Not entirely. The knife wounds are from the same person. Based on the ballistics, there were three others, all wearing high heels. They should be female.”
“Just say one man and three women. Don’t give me any other nonsense,” the ill-tempered Manager scolded.
“Any surveillance footage?”
“All destroyed.”
“These people are very professional. They left no traces.”
The Manager scanned the area and decided to check another location.
Soon, the Manager arrived at the villa district. When he saw the trail of corpses extending to the entrance, he himself was stunned.
There were also signs of being run over. Many staff members started vomiting on the spot.
“Where’s the person in charge!” the Manager shouted.
The person in charge was about to vomit himself unconscious, but he still ran over at the sound of the roar. “Manager, we’ve got a general idea of the situation here. It was one man and five women. Most were knife wounds; the others were shot.”
The Manager could now draw a conclusion. All the complexes had one thing in common: ferocious knife wounds, and the women had guns.
“Also, a very large tracked vehicle suddenly appeared here. Judging by the tracks on the road, it must weigh at least 100 tons.”
“You’re telling me a 100-ton vehicle just suddenly appeared? Hehehe, do I look that easy to fool?” The Manager grabbed the person in charge by the collar and roared, probably still fuming from his encounter with Tang Ze.
The person in charge felt very wronged. The on-site investigation led to this conclusion. He was very surprised too, but he couldn’t just make things up.
Looking at the person in charge’s terrified eyes, the Manager shoved him away. The report he had given indicated that there was something wrong with this man. Could he be the first person to be mutated by the virus?
Otherwise, where would he get such strength?
The company was still researching how to integrate zombie genes into human DNA to strengthen humanity. If they could capture this man, it would be a great achievement.
But the two people the higher-ups wanted captured still hadn’t been found. Was the Jiang family really wiped out, or was it a fake?
If it was real, he had to arrange for the secondary contact immediately. The Manager immediately arranged for personnel to go to Yunhai to investigate the situation.
Over an hour later, the Manager received news. The Jiang Family Manor had been razed to the ground, as if it had been hit by a missile.
This shocked the Manager. He even saw the transmitted images. Where was the luxurious manor? It was all scorched earth.
This kind of thing couldn’t be hidden. The Manager immediately reported it.
Just as he dialed the number, the General Manager on the other end said coldly, “I already know.”
“Was it bombed by a missile?”
“There are no missile fragments at the scene. I’ve already sent people to investigate. The cities you’re in charge of are full of strange occurrences.”
“General Manager, a man called me. He said he was responsible for the Jiang family’s matter and that the two girls are in his hands. He asked me what I wanted them for.”
The woman’s tone immediately sharpened. “He called you?!”
“I called, and he was the one who answered.”
The woman pondered for several dozen seconds before finally saying in a low voice, “First, feel him out. Send someone to make contact with him. At the very least, you need to see the people.”
“Understood. I’ll arrange it immediately. As for the report on Hua’an City, I’ll send it to you later.”
“Alright. I’ll send you a list later. I want them brought over, dead or alive.”
“Yes!”
After hanging up, the Manager breathed a sigh of relief. At least he hadn’t been punished.
But…
Was this man the same one from the phone call?
Could they be the same person?
There were no living witnesses. If only there was one.
