Chapter 901: Wei Wei, A Conversation Between Mother And Child
Outside the train, in a deserted motel in City B.
There was a sudden bang!
Teen L directly kicked down the door before him, his eyes glistening.
“Hey, who exactly are you people! How dare you barge in like this! If you guys don’t leave now, I’m going to call the cops! Do you hear me!”
Helian Wei Wei glanced sideways at the owner of the tiny motel, and laughed lightly as she said, “You let people stay at this motel without any form of registration of identity, what do you think the cops will do if they find out about this?”
The boss’s face immediately darkened and turned mum.
Helian Wei Wei shoved him out of the way and marched into the room. She ran her fingers across the cups on the coffee table, and walked toward the bathroom. However, she did not see anything in it as well. As she exited the bathroom, she caught sight of the large bed in the room.
That bed was different from the usual beds in hotels. It looked as though it was hollow underneath.
Strictly speaking, the suspects should not have left so quickly. The tickets that they had traced were clearly set for three hours later.
Helian Wei Wei narrowed her eyes as she walked forward. Her nose crinkled as it suddenly picked up a scent. Wait, what is this smell?
The smell of human flesh?
Without a moment’s hesitation, Helian Wei Wei bent down and lifted the sheets to peek inside!
Before she could say anything, the motel owner cried out in shock, his voice quivering, “Wh-what is that!”
“Can’t you see? They’re corpses, and there are two of them. From the looks of it, they’ve not been dead for long.” Helian Wei Wei peeled open their eyelids. Initially, she had wanted to summon their souls to ask a few questions. Strangely, there was not even a glimmer of soul left in both bodies.
In fact, aside from the two bodies, the entire motel was extremely clean and not a single wandering spirit could be found.
This sort of situation was by no means normal.
Even though the train station was filled with people, it was also the place where Qi of Yang was the most abundant.
However, train stations were usually built at a location with ample airflow. This meant that Qi of Yin would collect in its surroundings, especially in this sort of seedy motels. Here, the clients were usually suspicious figures with immoral intentions. Thus, it became a favorite location for wandering spirits to absorb the aura of resentment.
So, why aren’t there any dead souls here?
Helian Wei Wei furrowed her eyebrows as she swiped at her phone’s screen and made a call, “Monkey, access the train system of City B and key in the identities of these four people. Check if any of them made last-minute changes to their tickets.”
Unlike her, the motel owner’s expression was overwhelmed with fear, and his forehead broke into a cold sweat as he muttered, “What should we do? How did they die here? Is it because they ate something they shouldn’t have, or were they drugged?”
“It’s neither, they died of unnatural causes. If I were you, I wouldn’t continue standing here. I’d call the police right now,” Helian Wei Wei said as she walked out. Since they had already died, there would not be any useful clues for them here.
The motel owner’s eyes widened immensely as he stammered, “You, who are you people!”
After they suddenly barged in, dead people were discovered in the room!
There has never been such a case like this in my motel before!
Helian Wei Wei did not bother to reply anymore. The teenager was even more stone-faced, as he clattered out of the motel in his high-cut boots. He was fully clad in black and the outfit made him look like a special forces soldier from a movie.
“Boss, we’ve found them.” Helian Wei Wei was still on the call from earlier. Monkey had his hand on the computer mouse as his eyes gleamed. Looking at Helian Wei Wei, he said, “We found out that two passengers had adjusted their travel plans last minute. The details will be messaged to you. Other teams have also given us information, that the heads of the trafficker gangs in the Mainland Area usually gathered at the Yungui District before this, but they’ve recently changed their meeting location. They will be conducting their business on a train and the exact details of the train will be sent to you too.”
“Great,” Helian Wei Wei said and hung up. With one sweep of her long, slender leg, she got onto the Tomahawk. Now, she was quite certain that the people who had their tickets changed last minute were the traffickers they were looking for. “L, you needn’t follow me anymore. Notify all the brothers, ask them to head straight to the train Monkey mentioned. Keep in mind that we’re still in the Mainland, so when you guys are loading the equipment onto the cars, remember to disassemble them first.” As she said this, Helian Wei Wei put on her helmet and said with a grin, “For now, you guys must lay low and remain idle. Little Qingchen and I will be arriving soon.”
L knew that this time around, Boss was keen on going all in. She had even mentioned their equipment, so it was obvious that Boss would not let them off the hook so easily.
“S, Gold, Old A, did you hear what Boss said?” Teen L pressed on his Bluetooth earpiece and asked.
On the highway, five race cars changed directions in unison. Splitting into five distinct images, every image was extremely smart and cool as they replied, “Roger, meeting point at Yun Nan.”
Suddenly, a swish ripped through the air!
The chassis of the BMW S1000R morphed into a streak of dazzling light as it zoomed through the dark.
On the train, the man in the blue shirt was still leaning against the wall of the carriage until his handphone rang.
He lowered his head and speedily answered the call, “Master?”
“Listen, right now there are multiple teams who are on the lookout for us. When you move about, be extra vigilant. Do not reveal your tracks to them.” The person on the phone was not Master but Boss, whom he used to follow.
As soon as the trafficker heard that several teams were at his heels, he felt numbness creep across his scalp. “Boss, how did things turn out this way? We’ve never crossed paths with these teams before.”
“How the f*ck am I supposed to know!” The boss’s voice sounded a little shaky, his tone helpless. “It’s not only a Mainland problem, but teams from across the entire continent of Asia have also been mobilized. This has never happened before. However, don’t fret. After all, they are in our territory now. What’s more, don’t forget that the more capable teams don’t have the guts to cause a ruckus on the Mainland. This area is under the protection of the Tang Sect, so they have a lot to consider.”
The trafficker did not feel reassured by the statement. He continued to argue, “But Boss, you once mentioned that we should never be discovered by the Tang Sect in our line of work. If they do, the Tang Sect will surely hunt us down.”
“Don’t you worry, the Tang Sect won’t make a move over such a small issue. On top of that, with Master present, a lot of things can be swept under the rug. As long as we stick to Master, we should be safe.” It seemed like Boss was trying to comfort himself more than the trafficker.
Either way, the explanation seemed to do the trick for the trafficker. He felt that as long as he had Master’s Chinese talisman with him, he would remain incognito. Master had placed some protection over him, so even if those people wanted to locate him, it would not be an easy task.
Yet, he was still blissfully unaware that while he was on the call, the two little ones in a carriage not too far away had been observing him for quite some time already.
Little Qingchen looked at his handphone.
Baili Shangxie, on the other hand, was rather unfazed. To be honest, his favorite type of soul was actually this type that had been fully immersed in darkness. It would be even better if it had some aura of resentment laced within it too.
The taste will surely be exhilarating.
Furthermore, from what I can tell, someone had cast something over him.
He should taste pretty good…
As he thought of it, Baili Shangxie’s tongue ran over his thin lips.
Little Qingchen, however, turned around to look at him and said, “I forgot to call Beauty Wei Wei. Now that it’s already 11 p.m. and I still haven’t returned, she must be worried to death.”
Baili Shangxie remained quite unmoved. Sometimes, it was not unusual for him to follow his appetite all the way to another city when he ate and be away from home for nights. Even then, his imperial father would not bother to look for him.
So, it was a common occurrence for Baili Shangxie.
“I need to borrow a handphone, so I can give Beauty Wei Wei a call.” Little Qingchen bit his thumb and scampered to the train attendant again, his face utterly earnest as he said, “Elder sister, can I borrow your handphone to call my mother?”
Little Qingchen looked extremely adorable, so the train attendant’s heart melted instantly as she replied, “Little guy, are you lost? Where is your mother seated? Let elder sister make an announcement for you and get your mother to come for you, alright?”
“My mother isn’t on the train, only my grandmother is. But she’s fallen asleep and I don’t want to wake her up to borrow a handphone so I can call my mother.” Little Qingchen said as he stood on his tiptoes to point at an old woman who was fast asleep.
Seeing how wobbly he was on his feet, the train attendant immediately passed her phone to him and said, “Here you go, use it to call your mother.”
“Thank you, elder sister.” Little Qingchen held the handphone in his tiny hands, as he dashed back to Baili Shangxie and keyed in the numbers on the screen with his pale, chubby fingers. As soon as the call was placed, he lifted the handphone to his ear.Baili Shangxie lent Little Qingchen a hand when he saw him lift such a large handphone with great effort.
The ringtone from her headset interrupted her ride on her BMW S1000R to the city, where the terminal station was located. Helian Wei Wei simply picked up the call without checking the number. For a good while, all that could be heard was the sound of the whipping wind, “Hello?”
“Beauty Wei Wei, it’s me!” Little Qingchen was beyond thrilled to hear her voice, as he had feared that Beauty Wei Wei might not have answered a call from an unknown number.
Helian Wei Wei raised an eyebrow as she brought the BMW S1000R to a screeching halt. Then, she asked, “Where are you?”
“I’m on the train.” Little Qingchen replied enthusiastically and gave up trying to hold onto the handphone. He let Baili Shangxie hold it for him, while he simply leaned his face against it, saying, “I’m with a friend I’ve just met.”
Helian Wei Wei smirked as she asked, “Train Number K1117?”
“Yeah.” Little Qingchen nodded in agreement and replied, “I saw a suspicious person at the school entrance today, so I followed him here.”
Helian Wei Wei was speechless. So, from the beginning, you are the one who willingly let yourself be abducted…
“Have you eaten?” Helian Wei Wei was still worried about her son.
Little Qingchen fidgeted as he replied, “I have, I’ve had some chocolate with the new friend I made.”
Helian Wei Wei laughed. “Do you want to have all your teeth extracted? Whose phone is this? The trafficker’s?”
“No, the traffickers were scared away by my little friend, so we followed them onto the train. Then, I managed to borrow the train attendant’s handphone.” Little Qingchen’s voice was still quite meek, but his articulation was precise.
Soon, Helian Wei Wei noticed that her son kept mentioning his new friend and asked, “Little Qingchen, are you hiding something from me?”
