Chapter 225: Chapter 195: Misfortune and Happiness have no door; it comes from following advice.

Listen to the words, listen to the tone.

Tang Tang had been doing Police Security work for several years now.

In face of issues, it was inevitable to give things some extra thought.

Although this was not her area of expertise, she was rather unwilling to let others think that she only knew how to charge in blindly without using her brain.

As soon as she heard Zhou Ping’an mention that the Nineteenth Division’s field operations would temporarily neglect Police Security matters and also wouldn’t secretly seek revenge for today’s losses,

she immediately understood.

The other party clearly had more important things to do.

The importance was even sufficient for them to abandon concerns such as "face" and "actual losses" among other things, both openly and secretly.

Thus, the anticipated gain from this matter could be much greater.

She looked back.

Tang Tang suddenly stopped in her tracks.

After being reminded, she could see clearly now.

The soldiers from the field operations who had arrived later had intentionally or unintentionally formed a half circle.

The dense crowd, all armed with weapons...

The muzzles were actually pointed in her direction.

It was quite like being "politely escorted out of the territory".

"Heh, how interesting."

Tang Tang was fuming inside.

’Could it be that they really discovered something exceptional?’

’But even if they did discover something, it’s mostly due to my junior brother’s significant contributions. Why guard against us like we’re thieves?’

She turned around and walked back, observing carefully, and indeed, she discovered that the most densely packed area of Nineteenth Division soldiers was surrounding a crater, and the scene inside the pit seemed quite abnormal.

It was already past Children’s Day, and the weather had gotten a bit hotter.

The blazing sun was high in the sky, and from that crater, wisps of mist were rising, like the cold air one would see upon opening a freezer... Just looking at it made her feel unusually chilly.

"Captain Tang, please halt. This area is now restricted...

It involves internal matters of the Nineteenth Division and must be thoroughly investigated."

A robust officer in a crisp uniform approached her, his tone somewhat polite, but his actions not at all so.

This guy actually had the audacity to act official with her.

"Where is Colonel Chu? You’re not recognizing people after turning your face away?"

Tang Tang felt somewhat surprised and asked with a light chuckle.

"Sealing off the area near Bloody Eagle Cliff, isolating unrelated individuals, and thoroughly investigating the unauthorized movement of internal troops, these orders came directly from the superior officer.

Captain Tang, please do not make this difficult for us."

Tang Tang’s temper flared at the mention of this, her eyebrows raising in anger. The incident today was caused by them and had nearly led to a disaster.

And now, they were being so uncompassionate.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the other party was hiding something very important.

Just as she opened her mouth to speak, she heard a cough near her ear.

It was her junior brother’s voice.

After thinking it over, Tang Tang turned her head back, stopped arguing, and walked away.

It wasn’t until they were quite far away that she raised her head and asked in a low voice, "Ping’an, do you think that cave could be?"

"Sister, you noticed it too, huh..."

Zhou Ping’an smiled.

"Whether it is or isn’t, isn’t very important. Just know that inside the cave blasted open, there is something extraordinary, and it would be best for us to stay away."

"Extraordinary? Dangerous?"

"Anyway, if I went in there, there would be an eighty to ninety percent chance that I wouldn’t make it out alive."

Zhou Ping’an didn’t know how to explain this sense of impending crisis to Tang Tang.

Even if he did tell her, he couldn’t really explain it, this kind of deeply subjective thing...

But not telling her didn’t feel right either; he knew Tang Tang’s character well. Sometimes she just couldn’t swallow her pride, and perhaps she would take it too seriously.

If she were completely barred, with no chance of entering the cave, that would be another matter.

But if she found a way to get inside for a look, the situation could become quite problematic...

"I trust you."

Tang Tang suddenly smiled, and she didn’t even ask Zhou Ping’an why he was so sure that there was a problem with that cave.

Nor did she ask how he could be so certain that the danger in there was beyond their capacity to handle...

"You don’t want to ask for more details?"

Zhou Ping’an was quite surprised.

He felt that his sister today was acting rather oddly.

Since the beginning when she had just arrived and he stopped her from rushing forward to rescue people, she seemed to have become compliant and decisive.

She had unhesitatingly handed over command of the battlefield to him.

Furthermore, she completely ignored him taking action against the squad leader of Team Seven and had absolutely no questions.

’If I break your leg on an impulse and then sell you a crutch, will you still thank me?’

Zhou Ping’an was a bit worried about his overly naive sister.

Once outside, she might be too easily deceived.

"What, is there something on my face?" Tang Tang touched her cheek and shook her head with a smile. "If you keep quiet, there’s certainly a good reason for it...

Some things that cannot be said should remain untold, not even to parents, and not even to me.

I understand that the stronger one’s capability is, the greater the secrets one can keep."

"The world is vast, and in recent years, magical and bizarre abilities have emerged one after another, it’s better to be a bit more cautious in everything."

"Is this what Senior Sister thinks?"

Zhou Ping’an couldn’t help but feel a twinge of shame.

Soon, these boring thoughts dissipated with the wind.

He only said, "After sending the people from the caravan to the city, in the following days, Police Security personnel had better not leave the city. Group Seven must be thoroughly investigated.

The behavior and speech of Chang Shanyang and his people are far too suspicious, and there seems to be an intention to lead us into a trap.

I have always believed that a person would never do anything that doesn’t align with their own interests without reason. If they do, there must be something fishy going on."

"I understand, not just Group Seven, but the other groups also need to be checked."

Tang Tang nodded in agreement.

If one only looked at the first half of Chang Shanyang and his group’s actions, there would be nothing to criticize.

They could only say that these people were eager to save others, disregarding etiquette and orders for the moment.

But, if one considered how things developed in the second half,

There were many actions that couldn’t withstand scrutiny.

Why, when the caravan was attacked and trapped by a Ferocious Beast, was Group Seven the first to receive the distress call?

Why was Group Seven’s reaction speed even faster than their own?

So much so that they hardly left themselves enough time to mobilize more people.

And why, in the heat of battle, was he so keen to charge into the caravan, without considering whether his people could kill the pack of Ferocious Beasts or rescue everyone?

All these things, when reflecting now,

Revealed that the other party was too hasty in their actions.

It seemed there was a suspicion that they were trying to pull him into the encirclement of Ferocious Beasts.

’If Junior Brother hadn’t come, or if he had been delayed by other matters, this operation...’

’And if Junior Brother had come, but his strength wasn’t overpowering enough to break through the situation, avoid the artillery fire, and slay the Blood Eagles...

Myself, the people of the caravan, and Junior Brother included might have all been finished in one fell swoop.’

Thinking of the dangerous situation, Tang Tang felt cold sweat on his back.

Looking towards the place where Chang Shanyang and the others from Group Seven were detained, his gaze turned cold.

...

"Have you seen it clearly?"

Inside Guanhai Building on Wanhua Road.

Huang Shicheng was breathing heavily, with eyes showing both disappointment and excitement.

Disappointment because out of the one hundred and thirty-nine observation points they had set up, from number twenty-three to twenty-seven, all had been removed by the Nineteenth Division.

There was nothing left to see.

The excitement stemmed from the fact that before the observation points were completely removed, they had already seen what they wanted to see.

"Correct, the stair bricks we’ve just compared, their patterns and material, bear a ninety-seven percent similarity to the square bricks unearthed from General Wenshan’s Tomb.

We can assert that the construction times of both caves are from the same era, not differing by more than ten years."

The speaker was an unkempt man in casual clothes, nearly bald except for a few strands of hair, with a big nose.

The old man, with eyes bulging like fish bladders, glanced at Huang Shicheng with a slightly impatient expression: "Little Huang, instead of depending on luck here in Dongjiang, digging for some big find, you’d better put effort into using that Zhou guy.

They always say you can’t discern what’s important; right when Dong Qingshan was buried, his body should have been dug up directly, his blood would have retained more vitality.

What happened instead? They waited until his body tissue was nearly rotten... The preciousness fell by more than a hundredfold."

The old man beat his chest and stamped his feet.

"Elder Ruan, it’s just a clone, our technology has already made a breakthrough, hasn’t it?

The Pan-American Alliance seems to have matured this technology and has entered the practical application stage; even if there is any further progress, it won’t have much competitive edge.

However, if Madame Zhao Yue’s burial site is excavated, it could be a discovery as significant as the Landis Ruins.

By then, our Hongguang Group will be far more than the current scene."

Huang Shicheng’s face changed, and after thinking, he still suppressed his irritation.

The old man from headquarters not only provided strong martial support but also advanced technical support.

For the next actions, they still need to rely on him.

He wasn’t quite ready to offend him just yet.

However, the old man’s attitude of superiority due to age, was indeed loathsome.

"Hehe..."

Ruan Wen then rolled his eyes and with a sneer, "What do you know? If I was only interested in researching those pedestrian clones like the Pan-American Alliance, why would I care so much?

You have no idea just how precious Dong Qingshan’s corpse really was...

That being said, since you didn’t recognize the value of his corpse, why did you think of digging it up, cutting it into countless pieces? Don’t you know that doing these things often might harm your virtue?"

Seeing Huang Shicheng’s face growing uglier, Ruan Wen didn’t push further, instead laughing shrilly twice, and said, "I’ll tell you one thing, our current results are just one step away from researching a type of cloned body.

Much stronger than the eighteen Tyrannosaurus Genetic Warriors I brought with me.

Moreover, this kind of cloned body can learn and improve...

Over time, it can acquire most of the fighting skills in the world and won’t reject secondary genetic transformation."

"What?"

As Huang Shicheng listened, at first, he didn’t think there was anything particularly strange.

But towards the end, he was totally shocked.

Naturally, as a family-appointed person in charge of a city branch, he wasn’t an inexperienced young master without insights.

Ambition, ability, and methods of conducting affairs, all were first-class.

He was also well-aware of some secret information.
