Special Forces Medic-Chapter 856 - 829: The Door Is Right in Front of You

"The person should have arrived by now!"

"Yes, they followed Ye Zi's car all the way here."

"Once Yan Juanjuan is dead, sell the Horse Gang!"

"Yes!"

"Lao Zhao, how can I compensate you for your sacrifice, and Ah San as well."

"Master didn't blame Ah San for wanting to betray, so I'm already quite satisfied."

"I know you swapped that chip!" Lao Zhao wanted to say more but was stopped by a wave of the hand from the Fourth Master. "Anyway, this is something I owe you. When we return, I'll surely mention you to the old master. After handling the last person, we'll go back.

"What kind of outcome do you want for the Horse Gang? They've challenged your authority." Lao Zhao's words brought a layer of frost to the beautiful face of the Fourth Master.

"Do what you see fit! Don't make it too conspicuous, hand it over to those police to deal with, consider it a report for them. I'm surprised Hua Muyun is so resolute this time."

"I'll make arrangements immediately." Lao Zhao took a couple of steps towards the door, then turned back. "Master, it's best to leave here first!"

"No need, I'll wait right here." The Fourth Master shook their head indifferently; they must obtain what they want.

"Master, I've already found someone to replace at the hostel. Should we release Old Sun first?"

"Ask him what he wants; his woman is dead."

"Understood!" This time, Lao Zhao left without turning back. The outside had already been tidied up again; the pure white soft couch was replaced with a thick plush one, and on the small low table was her usual smoking bottle and pipe, a small pot of tea steaming, the incense burner emitting medicinal fragrance. Without hesitation, the Fourth Master drank the liquid from the bottle. Life depended not on the sustenance of food, but on these bottles of liquid. Her steps wavered but gradually steadied. Red Clothes continued to kneel beside the small table. When dealing with Ye Zi, she wouldn't hesitate. The Fourth Master wouldn't do anything meaningless; having her personally eliminate the sister who entered with her was nothing but a final warning. Ye Zi was a cautionary tale, not to mimic. In the Fourth Master's concept, there was no such word as loyalty, or rather, no one could make the Fourth Master think of the word loyalty. They just weren't worthy enough. She watched Lao Zhao leave, estimating that the Fourth Master would also be coming out soon, eyebrows lowered, a fine sweat on her beautiful nose tip.

"You seem to appear often before my eyes lately, isn't there a place for you over there?" Today seemed especially exhilarating; even with the drug coursing through her body, there was no sleepiness.

"Lao Jiu still hasn't made up his mind; wanting 'Underground City' independence still needs time."

"Do you know why I let you and Ye Zi go to the men, not for you to fall in love with them, nor for them to fall in love with you, but to tie them up." Red Clothes dared not retort, the Fourth Master's words were contradictory: if men don't love you, how would they heed your command? "'Underground City's' City Lord isn't Yao Zheng. I know your task is daunting; if you really can't do it, then don't. I don't want you ending up like Ye Zi."

"Master!" Whether moved or momentarily emotional, Red Clothes, who rarely cried, shed tears. "Red Clothes will never betray Master and will always follow Master."

"Go and pack up, follow Lao Zhao to prepare to return to 'Underground City' during this period."

"What about Master?"

"I will go with you, this place is no longer safe."

"I will make my final effort."

"No need, 'Underground City' is nothing much in my eyes. Wait for my notice, be ready to leave at any time."

"Yes!"

The ones who needed to retreat were withdrawn, and the Fourth Master nestled alone on the thick carpet pretending to sleep. She was waiting for the people she needed to wait for, but they had yet to arrive, even though the design of the entrance was too clever. However, she believed that with that man's capability, he could definitely find it. "Someone, go out and see what's going on outside?"

"Yes!" In the vast space, a steady voice emerged. If you think that such an individual would stand alone in one place, you are sorely mistaken; there were too many hidden people by her side.

The entrance is designed above the lavatory pit, on the armrest of the chair horizontally placed on the pit. Of course, this alone isn't enough; the key lies in the small river beside the lavatory. There's a small pump by the river bank. Once the pump is turned on, water flows from underground into the pipeline, unlocking the first layer of the secret passage, and inserting the handle into the mechanism to open the passage door.

"Brother, you've really got it; you managed to find even this." Hua Qingyi admired the door before him. If it were him, it might have taken him a long time. Not because he's foolish, but because when he selected courses, he only chose those pertinent to his political career, and subjects like this, few studied them to begin with.

"Let's go inside first and then talk."

"Oh, wait a moment!" Just as Hua Qingyi was about to jump down, his phone started vibrating incessantly. "Why would Secretary Luo call at such a late hour?" He mumbled as he was about to head down, only to be pulled back up by Xiao Lin.

"Wait, answer the phone first."

"Brother Luo, what's wrong?"

"Where are you now? Something's happened, is Young Master Xiao with you?" Secretary Luo's frantic tone made Hua Qingyi tense up. "Brother Luo, don't panic. What happened? Did something happen to my old man?"

"Young Master Hua, if Young Master Xiao is with you, please bring him along. The old man has been assassinated; the situation is extremely urgent." Luo Dami didn't finish the sentence in one breath.

"Assassination!" Hua Qingyi shouted, glancing at Xiao Lin beside him. "I understand. Send me the address, I'll head over there right away. Don't spread this matter yet; take over the city's tasks and report upwards, claiming a visit to a certain city if necessary. Just make sure to keep the information sealed; if anyone leaks a word, kill!"

Xiao Lin had never seen Hua Qingyi so ruthlessly intense, and every order he issued was precisely on point. After Hua Qingyi calmed down, Xiao Lin patted his shoulder. "Let's go!"

"Bro, I can go by myself. It was hard to find Fourth Master; Wu Shuang still needs you to retrieve the antidote." Just one more step and they could strike directly at the heart, with the entrance to the passage right in front.

"Let's go! Besides me, would you trust anyone else to perform surgery on your old man? If it weren't serious, Brother Luo wouldn't be so panicked about finding someone." Xiao Lin glanced at the passage door. He wanted to enter; he had promised to rescue Wu Shuang, but... there's no 'but.'

"Bro, I owe you a favor. If Mu Rongyun seeks you out, I will..."

"Don't say anything now. Get Brother Luo here immediately to pick us up; it'll be too slow to return by car."

"Understood." In the dark, two figures ran towards the avenue's exit.

Fourth Master was inside, feeling anxious. Such emotions were strange; people were at the door but hesitated to enter. This speculative mindset could be described as wondrous, but it was also troubling.

"Fourth Master!" The person who had just exited returned to the room, standing respectfully outside.

"Where are they?"

"The passage door was opened, but they ran away!"

"Ran away?" This result surprised Fourth Master greatly; this wasn't Xiao Lin's style. Already with prey on the verge, to let it slip away like this isn't something a hunter would do. Everyone knows this kind of chance won't appear again, Xiao Lin understands, and Fourth Master understands too. "Why would they run?" This question wasn't directed at the person below, but self-questioning.

"Fourth Master, after receiving the call, those who came along abandoned their chance to enter and ran towards the avenue. About seven or eight minutes later, a military helicopter appeared on the vacant land ahead and picked them up."

"Military helicopter!" Something must have happened, and it's a big deal. "Investigate, make sure you find out the location where the helicopter landed and report back immediately."

"Yes!"

Tracking a car might not be easy, but finding the path of a military helicopter is relatively simple due to its specificity. It wasn't long before Fourth Master's subordinates had already placed the helicopter's landing position before him.

"Army Military Region! Investigate Hua Muyun's whereabouts." Fourth Master looked at the report; if his prediction was correct, something had happened to Hua Muyun.

"Yes!"

Five minutes later, the person who went out returned to the room, not bringing anything this time. "Can't find anything?"

"Yes, no clues whatsoever."

"Good!" Upon hearing Fourth Master utter these two words, the man began to tremble. "No news is the best news. Have people keep a close watch on Hua Mansion and the municipal people; remember not to act rashly. Where is Lao Zhao right now?"

"He's already followed the Horse Gang people to the city center; he's taking the woman's body with him."

Fourth Master fell silent; looks like Lao Zhao is still unaware of the situation. Should the Horse Gang be eliminated? If Hua Muyun is involved, keeping the Horse Gang might be a good choice. Who did it? Yao Zheng's remnants are dead; what's left are useless ones who absolutely couldn't accomplish this. "Tell Lao Zhao himself to inquire. Recently, have any foreigners entered the country? Retrieve Red Clothes back."

"Red Clothes hasn't left yet!"

"Understood. You may withdraw, find a safe place to retreat; it's not needed here anymore."

The military helicopter slowly descended atop the military district hospital. Hua Qingyi couldn't wait and jumped off with two meters left to go inside, Xiao Lin following suit. Already standing at the rooftop door, the chief surgical expert approached Xiao Lin.

"What's Secretary Hua's condition now? Explain briefly." Naturally exuding an aura, the panicked ones adjusted their mindset and began assuming their roles. Listening to the diagnostic report, Xiao Lin began making final preparations in the operating room, and Hua Qingyi stayed close by, never leaving his side. After changing into shoes and surgical attire, Xiao Lin stood firmly before Hua Qingyi. (To be continued.
