Chapter 1821 - 1821 Escaped
1821 Escaped
Signal jammers could block the base network, but they were useless against trackers.
Shangguan Hou was unafraid that he would not be able to catch Huo Yao.
The security team chief looked at the computer monitor. A minute later, he said in surprise, “Is the intruder heading toward the central region?”
Shangguan Hou looked straight ahead with his hands behind him. “Clearly.”
“She certainly has the guts.”
The security team chief laughed coldly. He pressed his mike and gave his subordinates the location of the moving red dot on the monitor.
Shangguan Hou pursed his lips. If anything, Shangguan Yu definitely had the audacity to do it.
After the security team chief gave the order, Shangguan Hou turned his head and asked. “Oh yes. What’s the situation at Mr. Liang’s end?”
The security team chief had already heard from his team a few minutes ago. He simply did not have the time to tell Shangguan Hou yet, so he hurriedly replied. “If things go smoothly, he has probably already caught the intruder by now.”
If things went smoothly?
Shangguan Hou narrowed his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, someone entered the room.
It was Liang Qiu.
When the security team chief saw him, he quickly nodded respectfully. “Mr. Liang.”
Liang Qiu raised his hand, looking annoyed. It seemed as though he might explode anytime. As he walked, the scent of blood could be smelled in the air.
The security team chief felt scared. He looked up outside the door before he asked. “A-are you hurt?”
Liang Qiu clearly did not feel like answering, so he did not reply. He simply glanced at Shangguan Hou. “What are you doing here?”
After he was done, he glanced at the base map appearing on the monitor nearby along with the moving red dot and asked. “What’s this?”
“A bait,” said Shangguan Hou ambiguously.
“A bait?” Liang Qiu’s eyes glinted profoundly before his eyes landed on the computer monitor. “Did the alarms go off because another person infiltrated the base?”
During the time he was gone, he only heard the alarm going off. As for the gunfire, he was unable to hear it due to the distance. Also, the walls in the facility were soundproof. Hence, he heard nothing.
No one had updated him about the most recent events in the base in reality.
“Uh huh.” Shangguan Hou nodded. “Didn’t you go catch the intruder? Where is she?”
The people around him were so startled that they retreated a couple of steps in an attempt to stay out of his way.
Yang Yi was standing behind with his head lowered. When he heard this, he exhaled in relief slightly.
Shangguan Hou looked at Liang Qiu. Even though he already knew the answer judging from the look on Liang Qiu’s face, he could not help feeling astonished.
After all, considering Liang Qiu’s abilities, hardly anyone was his match let alone managing to escape him, right?
Liang Qiu seemed to know what Shangguan Hou was thinking. His expression suddenly changed as he laughed coldly. He turned to look at the security team chief. “I almost caught her. You shouldn’t have called the men off.”
The security team chief promptly broke out in cold sweat at the accusation and did not know what to say.
After some time, he stammered and explained. “I… I thought you could handle it, so I called the men off…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Liang Qiu interrupted him coolly. “Do I look like some kind of a god to you?”
The security team chief knew his temperament, so he did not dare to speak any further.
Liang Qiu retrieved something from his pocket. He spoke as he opened the tissue. “If I didn’t have strong immunity against drugs, do you think I could still stand here talking to you?”
