Chapter 112: Chapter 112

Ying Er: [Brother just arrived in Beijing for a couple of days, and you went out? Where did you go?]

Old Sir Rong: [Alright, Third, go ahead and get busy. Remember to tell Grandpa when you come back.]

Little Teacher: [Okay, Rong Zhi needs to sign a leave slip when he returns, throwing flowers.jpg]

Jiang Gujun: [Okay, okay, did Mr. Rong mention going out to Mr. Su?]

Bai Su?

Whenever Rong Zhi thought of the look in Bai Su’s eyes when he fired the gun in the villa, her eyes clouded over.

Even though she knew he hadn’t recognized her and that shooting at a stranger was normal, she was still bothered by it and didn’t feel like dealing with him.

After responding to the previous messages, Rong Zhi was about to contact Fu Yaoyao when a call came in from a certain man.

This time she neither hung up nor answered but tossed the phone aside, took her laptop out of the suitcase, entered a code, and connected with Fu Yaoyao.

-

It takes more than a day to fly from Huaguo Capital to Wu City, and during the time Rong Zhi was flying to Wu City, Fu Yaoyao had been stationed outside the S Research Institute.

She was currently lying on a rocky outcrop, holding a sniper rifle, her camouflage blending almost seamlessly with the rocks. From afar, one would hardly notice anyone there.

The smart earbuds in her ears emitted two very distinctive mechanical sounds, a unique signal known only to their trio.

So as soon as she heard it, Fu Yaoyao knew who was reaching out.

"Senior Sister."

She called in a very low voice.

"Yaoyao, turn on the locator."

Fu Yaoyao was startled, but without any visible reaction, she reached to her waist and pressed a button on the locator.

The next moment, Rong Zhi’s calm and steady voice came through the earbuds.

"Stay there, don’t move."

Fu Yaoyao asked puzzledly, "Did Senior Sister come to Danadan?"

"Yes."

Fu Yaoyao’s confusion grew, but it wasn’t the time for questions, especially since Rong Zhi had already disconnected, presumably preparing to come over.

She pursed her lips. The fact that even her Senior Sister, who had been resting for over half a year, was alerted, meant that the research institute they discovered was no simple matter.

-

Night deepened.

A black silhouette darted through Wu City.

Rong Zhi passed through an alley, stopping in front of a shabby-looking convenience store. She lowered the brim of her baseball cap and tapped on the rolling shutter door in a pattern of three long and one short taps.

After tapping, she took a few steps back, waiting for a reply from inside.

After a long while, a hoarse and strange voice came from inside, sounding even worse than nails on a chalkboard, yet speaking in a common international language.

"Buying lighters or bottled water?"

Rong Zhi lowered her eyes, deliberately speaking in a subdued voice, "Two M9 lighters, three bottles of WY741 bottled water, and ten packs of M9 popping candy."

There was no response from inside the rolling shutter.

Rong Zhi wasn’t in a hurry; she lazily leaned against the sign by the door, casually playing with her phone and counting the time.

A few minutes later, the old and rusty rolling shutter door creaked open.

The door opened just enough for a person to crouch through. An aged, wrinkled hand reached out, holding a black cloth bag, and placed the items on the ground, reciting a number.

Rong Zhi unlocked her phone, speaking in a measured tone, "WeChat."

The hand paused briefly before retracting, only to reappear holding a green QR code.

Rong Zhi clicked her tongue.

Even international black merchants were so up-to-date now.

After paying, she weighed the bag to ensure the contents matched her order before slinging it over her shoulder and walking away.

Turning a street, she bought a modified off-road vehicle from another black merchant, then drove to the hotel to move her luggage into the car.

These were all high-precision instruments, and bringing them to Wu City had cost her quite some effort.

If it weren’t for the fact that Y State wasn’t her turf and that international travel required checks, she would have brought them directly instead of buying guns and bullets again.

Tsk, should find some time to meet with the lord in Y State and ask for a pass, simplifying things.

Having sorted out her gear, Rong Zhi drove out of Wu City towards the locator address before dawn.

-

As the mist dispersed, all that met the eye was yellow sand and dust. The modified off-road vehicle was very sturdy; on the road, she encountered a small force from the Danadan Desert trying to rob her, but after she shot their leader in the head, they fled with their tails between their legs.

Half an hour later, she stopped at an oasis in the desert and took the laptop from the backseat to reconnect with Fu Yaoyao.

Even before the mechanical sound fully played, Fu Yaoyao’s sweet voice came through the earbuds.

Rong Zhi nodded with the invisible earbuds, intending to put on the smart glasses, only to find her bag empty. She remembered the glasses were knocked off by Bai Su at the villa.

Quite annoying.

Without the smart glasses to analyze data, in case of an accident, she could only rely on her own skills to handle it head-on.

"I’m at your rear side, turn on the camera function on your locator. Have you mapped out the research institute’s position?"

Fu Yaoyao: "Mapped it out, I’ve sent the maps over, Senior Sister, are we going for a forceful entry today?"

Now with dawn breaking, all creatures on the ground had nowhere to hide.

Rong Zhi tapped the keyboard, receiving the map she sent, "No, follow my plan, action at night."

Having fought S Research Institute many times, the internal structure didn’t differ much. She could hack the institute’s surveillance and enter, then coordinate with Fu Yaoyao inside and outside, blow up the institute, and extract its contents simultaneously.

"Okay, but Senior Sister, maybe I should go in this time? Isn’t your leg still injured?" Fu Yaoyao asked worriedly.

"It’s fine."

Rong Zhi inputted the map into her locator. She wore a black custom-made work uniform, waterproof, fireproof, and shockproof.

Her sleeves and pant legs were tightly secured, with two silver diagonal stripes at the collar matching those on her shoulders.

After regarding the epaulettes for a moment, she removed them.

She tossed them casually into the bag, with one corner accidentally exposed. The sunlight glinted off the silver stripes, reflecting a slightly dazzling light, as a line of English letters flashed by.

Having finalized the plan, Rong Zhi opened the local network distribution map, data surging forth. Her gaze fixed on the screen as she began searching for the S Research Institute in A State Danadan Desert.

It was two hours later by the time she got the S Research Institute’s surveillance under control, with Rong Zhi’s brows slightly furrowed.

Just as expected, this institute was much tougher to deal with than those in other regions.

By now, the sun was high, scorching the ground.

The line with Fu Yaoyao remained open, yet there was silence from her end.

Rong Zhi wasn’t worried at all about her. Ranked seventh on the international most wanted list, the toxic healer Tao Yao was not only highly skilled in medicine but also renowned as an unbeatable sniper.

Once a target was locked on, no one could escape her bullets.

Getting up to ease her stiff neck, Rong Zhi then checked her phone messages.

Since she missed Bai Su’s call early morning, there hadn’t been any more calls from him. But until just now, her WeChat was bombarded with messages.

Unlocking the screen, there was a glaring 99+ above the profile picture of Starry Night at the top.
