Under the cover of night, Xiao Feng was supported on both sides by Lu Yao and the little girl as they walked down the street.
Su Yuzhuo sat in an unbalanced wheelchair, not complaining about why Xiao Feng didn't allow her to take action and get rid of Thomson directly. However, seeing Xiao Feng's disheveled appearance, with his face covered in blood, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Zhao Guo'an had already checked Xiao Feng's pulse; the internal injuries were severe. There would be no immediate danger to his life, but he must receive treatment as soon as possible.
"Did you encounter any blockades when you came?" Xiao Feng asked.
The little girl wiped her tears and choked out, "No."
Xiao Feng paused, frowned, and said, "This isn't like Devil's Concentration Camp's style."
After saying this, he turned to look at Lin Zhiyan: "Go back first to check it out. I suspect Thomson was deliberately used as bait, trying to lure us away."
Lin Zhiyan's heart sank. In the courtyard, there were only Lin Jiaxuan and Sun Shijie, one bedridden recovering from injury, and the other not much of a fighter, essentially the old, weak, sick, and disabled. If someone really wanted to take advantage of this, it would be easy to succeed.
With a nod, Lin Zhiyan quickly returned to the courtyard, while Su Yuzhuo suspiciously said, "Using an instructor as a sacrificial decoy, does the new leader really have that kind of audacity?"
In reality, for an organization like Devil's Concentration Camp, the truly indispensable figures are not the leaders like the "Big Sister."
Because the Big Sister role is merely a puppet; to put it bluntly, anyone can put on some clothes, cover their face, and assume the position without a care in the world.
What's truly indispensable are the mid-level instructors. These people are responsible for brainwashing newcomers and teaching them killing techniques. Without these people, Devil's Concentration Camp's overall strength would be nothing but a joke.
"Hard to say." Xiao Feng said solemnly: "Let's hurry. Don't let them take us down one by one."
After speaking, he endured the tearing pain in his chest and walked forward briskly.
Luckily, the anticipated scenario where Sun Shijie and Lin Jiaxuan were abducted as hostages did not occur, but this only made it more puzzling. Could Devil's Concentration Camp really miss such a good opportunity?
Moreover, only Thomson appeared this time, without any helpers, as if he was intentionally pushed out to die.
These issues are clearly not something that can be figured out quickly. The pressing matter now is to address everyone's injuries promptly.
The others only suffered minor injuries, but Xiao Feng's condition was more pressing; Sun Shijie and Zhao Guo'an immediately began to prepare medicine and administer aid.
"Master Jiu agreed to go with us for a trip," Xiao Feng said flatly.
Sun Shijie, who was preparing the medicine, froze for a moment, partly surprised that Master Jiu agreed to help, and partly amazed at Xiao Feng's efficiency in getting things done even before he had the chance to mention it himself.
Xiao Feng took a sip of water and then continued, "Now it's up to you; as soon as those in wheelchairs and bedridden can walk, we can set out."
"Okay!" Sun Shijie responded, feeling a weight lifted from his heart.
Originally, he was thinking of finding a time to mention this to Xiao Feng, but now it seemed unnecessary, allowing him to focus entirely on treating the patients.
No!
Including Xiao Feng, there were now three of them.
...
In the morning, in front of the Lanyue Group's office building, a crowd of suit-clad men and women hurriedly streamed inside.
Amidst this sea of black, a streak of white stood out, looking up at the sign atop the building with a smile at the corner of her mouth.
The woman, dressed in an off-white down jacket, carried a bag of soup dumplings in her hand, eating as she joined the black wave and headed straight to the front desk once inside.
"Hello, may I ask…"
The receptionist hadn't finished her question before the woman directly said, "I'm here to see your CEO."
This woman was none other than Gao Panpan, who hurried in from Jiuyou Town.
"Do you have an appointment?" the receptionist smiled politely.
"No." Gao Panpan shook her head: "But someone named Xiao Feng told me to mention his name when I got here, and I'd be able to see your CEO."
"Xiao Feng?" The receptionist looked puzzled, seemingly unfamiliar with the name.
At this moment, a colleague behind her whispered, "You came late; Xiao Feng used to be a manager in our company's logistics department. He's quite handsome, humorous, and often chatted with us at the front desk."
"Should we let her up?"
The colleague nodded: "Give the secretary a call first and see what President Du says."
After reporting up, Du Linlang's new secretary personally came down from the top floor to escort Gao Panpan to the CEO's office.
At this moment, Du Linlang was sitting at her desk with her eyes on a document, occasionally marking important points with a pen, looking composed and methodical.
After a short while, a knock on the door was heard: "President Du, the guest has arrived."
"Come in." Du Linlang closed the document and looked towards the doorway.
With her intelligence, she could easily guess that the person claiming to know Xiao Feng and seeking her out must be the helper he recruited for her.
She was quite curious to see what kind of person Xiao Feng had recommended so strongly.
Upon entering, Gao Panpan looked around and asked the secretary beside her, "Where is your CEO?"
The secretary's face changed subtly, thinking to herself that this person must be blind; such a prominent figure was right in front of you, and yet you couldn't see her?
But maintaining her professional demeanor, she introduced with a smile, "This is our Lanyue Group's CEO, Ms. Du Linlang."
"You… you're the CEO of Lanyue Group?" Gao Panpan was filled with disbelief.
Du Linlang waved her hand, signaling the secretary to leave, then asked with a smile, "What, didn't Xiao Feng mention me to you?"
Gao Panpan suddenly felt she had been tricked; the person Xiao Feng had nudged her to "charm" turned out to be a woman?
Du Linlang seemed unbothered by Gao Panpan's discourtesy, still smiling, "Did Xiao Feng tell you specifically what to do by my side?"
Gao Panpan shook her head, looking somewhat constipated; she couldn't possibly say that scoundrel instructed her to make you fall in love with me?
"Alright then, from today onwards, you'll stay by my side. I'll instruct you if anything comes up."
After saying this, Du Linlang started to pick up her document to work but was not actually reading; her mind was constantly observing this assistant Xiao Feng had insisted she take on.
Noticing Du Linlang's attention on her, Gao Panpan couldn't help but ask, "Um, you just said to stay by your side, that doesn't include nighttime sleeping hours, right?"
"Hmm?" Du Linlang's eyes narrowed, showing a seductive smile, "If you're willing, I wouldn't mind."
In her mind, this suggestion meant that Gao Panpan probably intended to monitor her; refusing would be akin to showing weakness.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. What I mean is..." Gao Panpan flushed with anxiety: "In short, it's better if we live separately."
