After seeing the young man's face clearly, Gong Kaishan and Li Ying exchanged glances and exclaimed in unison: "Qian Shaoyuan?!"

After the exclamation, Gong Kaishan dashed over, grabbed the man known as Qian Shaoyuan by the shoulders, and demanded loudly: "Damn it, I knew it was you, you bastard, sneaking out dressed in my clothes to flirt! Are you even human?!"

"Don't make a fuss!" Qian Shaoyuan pushed Gong Kaishan away in annoyance and said, "If I had clothes, why would I need yours? Besides, your clothes smell terrible, not a hint of fragrance all year round. Don't believe me? Take a sniff, it's much more pleasantly fragrant."

As he spoke, he grabbed the collar of the shirt and held it up to Gong Kaishan's nose.

"I'll kill you!" Gong Kaishan cursed, then grabbed Qian Shaoyuan by the throat and pinned him to the sofa.

Beside them, Li Ying crossed her arms habitually and said coldly: "And now you don't blame me for taking your clothes? Xiao Yuan is right, your clothes smell awful, even if you gave them to me for free, I wouldn't want them."

In fact, Qian Shaoyuan was also a member of the Demon Suppression Action Team, one of the top talents in the internet world.

However, his hobbies differed from the typical tech nerd stereotype; he loved going out drinking, specifically with pretty girls, getting drunk each time and losing countless phones and wallets in the process.

Yet he indulged in this, showing no signs of repentance.

Crucially, even when drunk, Qian Shaoyuan never let it affect his work; the only flaw was not being able to recall anything he did while drunk the next day.

Because of this, Qian Shaoyuan gave himself the nickname "Stand-by Player," implying everything he did while drunk relied on instinct.

Though it was a joke, it showed his technical skills were quite solid, enough to handle many tricky issues by instinct.

"This is my last warning, go out wearing my clothes again without telling me, and I'll break your legs." Gong Kaishan threatened viciously after beating up Qian Shaoyuan, gasping for breath.

"Ha, you've said that thirteen times already." Li Ying taunted unreservedly: "Can you come up with something new? Otherwise, not just Xiao Yuan, even I'm getting tired of hearing it."

Qian Shaoyuan poked his head out from a pile of clothes: "Exercise mercy, Ying-jie, please don't add insult to injury."

Gong Kaishan sat weakly on the sofa; Qian Shaoyuan's habit of wearing his clothes was as ingrained as his drinking habit, impossible to quit even if beaten.

This made Gong Kaishan feel like sighing to the sky, wondering what he did to deserve knowing someone so shameless.

"Get up!" Li Ying kicked Qian Shaoyuan, pointed at Xiao Feng, and said: "Meet, this is the legendary Yan Huang."

"Yan Huang?!" Qian Shaoyuan immediately sat up from the sofa, whipped his head towards Xiao Feng, and rushed over like a hungry wolf: "Family! I've finally found you!"

Damn it!

Xiao Feng was about to lose it. This guy must be insane, calling him family right at the meeting; such enthusiasm was over the top.

Avoiding Qian Shaoyuan's rush, Xiao Feng looked at him with a strange expression, feeling that this guy's mental state might be a bit off.

Li Ying explained for Qian Shaoyuan: "Xiao Yuan has been searching for people from the Devil's Concentration Camp, and since you are the only one who survived from that organization, he's understandably excited."

"Ying-jie's right, there's something I need Huang-ge's help with. If you succeed, I'll repay you even if it means being your servant!" Qian Shaoyuan bowed to Xiao Feng, speaking with a hint of a gangster demeanor.

"Change the title first!" Xiao Feng raised his voice sharply; being called Huang-ge made him want to slap the speaker.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Qian Shaoyuan nodded repeatedly: "But if not Huang-ge, then what should I call you? Yan-ge?"

Gong Kaishan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Snip? Xiao Yuan, you're such a damn genius!"

Xiao Feng's eyes turned cold: "I swear if you laugh again, I'll snip both of you."

Gong Kaishan quickly stifled his laugh, and Qian Shaoyuan became serious: "Regardless of what to call, I have a question for you: during your time in the Devil's Concentration Camp, do you remember anyone by the username 'Lost Little Deer'?"

"Are you giving me tongue twisters?" Xiao Feng shoved his hands in his pockets, fearing he might slap the guy in front of him to death.

Qian Shaoyuan suddenly looked despondent as if he had exhausted all his energy.

Picking up a bottle from the table, just as he was about to gulp it down, Gong Kaishan snatched the bottle: "Trying to pinpoint someone by a username is like a joke; you should provide more details. What if Xiao Feng knows who it is?"

"It's useless." Qian Shaoyuan lowered his head, his tone somber: "I've searched for that person for five years, using all means I know, yet have found nothing. I was too naive this time; such a high-level expert wouldn't show up easily."

Gong Kaishan and Li Ying both had a gloomy expression, and Xiao Feng realized something was amiss here as he quickly reviewed in his mind, but he couldn't recall anyone named 'Lost Little Deer' in the Devil's Concentration Camp.

"Let's get down to business first." Li Ying patted Qian Shaoyuan's shoulder in comfort, then beckoned Xiao Feng to follow her to the stairs.

Li Ying didn't go upstairs but entered the staircase on the first floor, and after opening the door and pressing a button on the toilet, a rumbling sound was heard as the floor tiles moved towards the walls, revealing a downward passage.

Xiao Feng followed Li Ying down, discovering the basement-like structure was not as dark as imagined but brightly lit instead.

However, no matter how bright it was, it was still underground, giving off an oppressive feeling.

After descending the last step, Li Ying stopped and said: "Sweet and his team are temporarily settled here, I don't need to remind you about confidentiality, right?"

Xiao Feng nodded and promptly saw Li Ying pull a lever, revealing what lay behind the iron door.

Inside was structured like a hotel, with each room along the corridors guarded by two people on each side.

At the end of the corridor, one screen after another densely appeared on the wall, with several personnel occasionally switching the main screen, displaying the movements of Sweet and other experts.

Li Ying verified her face and iris, walking smoothly into the base, then asked the two staff in front of the monitor: "Have there been any unusual incidents?"

"No." One of them shook his head: "They eat and drink as they should, cooperate well with questioning, except for the one named Sweet who keeps threatening to accuse us when he gets out, everyone else behaves well."

"That's where the issue is. Their responses lack evidence, making it impossible to judge their truthfulness." Li Ying said with some headache.

Xiao Feng suggested: "We could have a psychologist come over to observe details, or failing that, use hypnosis or lie detection equipment."

Li Ying replied: "We've already tried those methods; superficially there seem to be no issues, but they refuse to provide previous research reports, which are highly useful to us."

"That's only natural; after all the work they've put in their research, you think they'd just hand it over easily?" Xiao Feng said with an understanding tone.

The two staff members eyed Xiao Feng suspiciously, wondering which side he was on, as he seemed to be supporting outsiders.

Li Ying was accustomed to Xiao Feng's manner of speaking. She shrugged and said: "We're here, might as well try. If you can't get the research report from Sweet and his people, we'll have to wait for the boss to come."

Xiao Feng felt stirred, realizing that he would soon meet the leader of the Demon Suppression Action Team.

"I'll give it a go." Xiao Feng said, then walked straight toward the room where Sweet was.
