sjar Chapter 246 Zhang Wan Again
Chapter 246 Zhang Wan Again
Now that they've discovered this woman is problematic, Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan can no longer afford to be careless or treat it with a spectator's mentality.
The two continued to lurk in the corner, keeping a close eye on the two people in front of them.
The girl took another step closer, made Chai Jin bend down, and then whispered something in his ear.
But the sound was too soft, and Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan didn't hear anything.
After a long while, Chai Jin straightened up, took the girl's hand, kissed it sincerely, turned around and left, walking back along the path he had come from.
Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan couldn't understand it for a moment, so they could only huddle in the corner and hold their breath. They only breathed a sigh of relief after Chai Jin passed by and walked away.
Fortunately, the alley was dark enough and had many forks in the road, so Chai Jin didn't notice them.
However, they did not intend to go back with Chai Jin immediately; instead, they wanted to stay and see what was going on with this woman.
So the two of them remained crouched in the corner and did not go out.
A few minutes later, the woman, still standing in the darkness, chuckled softly and slowly walked out.
When they passed the small intersection where Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan were, because the light was too dim and they were standing sideways, neither of them could see the woman's appearance clearly. They could only tell that the woman had long hair and was very thin.
After the woman left the alley and took a shortcut around the trading market, Zhou Yang and his companion emerged from the shadows and followed the woman ahead.
Unsure of the woman's strength, the two followed her from a distance.
After walking for about ten minutes, passing through several dark paths, the woman finally reached a place with lights.
Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan only saw the woman's face at this moment, and they were stunned. After exchanging a glance, they both stopped in their tracks.
"Um... if I remember correctly, it's Zhang Wan, right?"
Although the lighting wasn't great and Zhou Yang had only seen the woman a few times, she was the only woman in the base with long, flowing hair, which left a deep impression on him. Plus, she was always around them, like a persistent ghost, and he couldn't forget her even if he wanted to.
“Yes, that’s true.” Shen Zechuan nodded. “It seems that Zhang Wan has superpowers, but how come I can’t tell her power level? Logically speaking, I should be able to tell the energy fluctuations of anyone with a lower level than me at a glance…”
Zhou Yang pondered for a moment, then thought of something: "I think her ability is some kind of special ability that I've never seen before, and when she's not using her ability, the energy fluctuations are completely invisible. People with abilities like prophecy are usually impossible to detect."
"It should be, but she must have used her powers when she was talking to Chai Jin just now, but I didn't see any energy fluctuations at the time..."
"She must also possess some kind of psychic mutant ability, the kind that can control people's minds. As for the problem of not being able to see it, could it be that her level is too low?"
"How can someone of such a low level control Chai Jin, a level 5 power evolver?"
"..."
Zhou Yang was speechless for a moment.
That seems to be true...
While the two were talking, Zhang Wan had already walked to the vicinity of the large group tent in the square. She was chatting and laughing with the people there, and seemed to have a very harmonious relationship. She also talked with the passing patrol team for a long time before turning around and going into the large tent.
Only after Zhang Wan disappeared from sight did Zhou Yang say irritably:
"What do we do now? Kidnap this woman and kill her?"
Shen Zechuan shook his head: "It probably won't work in the base. I think this woman is very familiar with everyone here, and if she goes missing, it will be discovered very quickly. Besides, we don't even know if she's dead yet. We still need to find out if the things she did to Chai Jin can be untied on their own. Let's go back today and discuss it with Yan Fei and the others."
Zhou Yang sighed, "Alright then."
At this moment, Zhou Yang deeply regretted not killing Zhang Wan when he first suspected her, which led to all this trouble now.
However, there's no going back in life, so Zhou Yang could only sigh a couple of times before heading back with Shen Zechuan.
Back on the 18th floor, Shen Zechuan made a satellite phone call to Yan Fei, asking Yan Fei and Lu Yanwen to come up. He then went across the street and called Xu Zhiyi over as well.
When Yu Jing heard the commotion, she wanted to inquire about Chai Jin's partner, but Shen Zechuan brushed her off by saying he hadn't seen him.
Ten minutes later, the group arrived at Zhou Yang's house one after another.
As expected, Lu Xingye also came over with Yan Fei.
Zhou Yang and the other man had no objections to this, but they reminded Lu Xingye to keep the content of their conversation confidential, especially from Chai Jin.
Lu Xingye nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut, I promise I won't tell anyone!"
After hearing Lu Xingye's assurance, Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan explained the whole story of how they had followed Chai Jin.
"So, Chai Jin argued with me before because he was being controlled by this trashy woman?" After hearing Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan's account, Lu Xingye was the first to jump up. "Damn it! I'm going to kill this woman right now!"
Although he was still angry about the argument with Chai Jin, he believed that he should only bully his own brothers, and it wouldn't do to let some trash bully them! He had to kill him!
"Don't be impulsive." Yan Fei grabbed Lu Xingye, who was jumping up and down in anger. "We definitely have to kill him, but not now. Didn't you hear Zechuan say that we need to find out if there will be any aftereffects or anything?"
Lu Xingye snorted and stomped his foot again before sitting down next to Yan Fei.
Seeing that Lu Xingye had calmed down, Yan Fei turned to Zhou Yang and the others and said, "I'll go find my uncle later and investigate Zhang Wan again to see if there are any other people in the base who have been misled by her."
Shen Zechuan nodded: "Okay, I'll have Zhiyi go with you tomorrow. We need to focus on investigating the military. I noticed she's very familiar with the patrol team. If she's managed to infiltrate the military using this method, it'll be troublesome. Yanwen and I will go and interrogate that thief again."
Upon hearing this, Yan Fei's expression instantly became even more serious, and he nodded silently.
The others whose names were mentioned also nodded.
Seeing that Shen Zechuan and the others were investigating people related to Zhang Wan but couldn't directly monitor Zhang Wan, Zhou Yang thought for a moment and took the initiative to take on the task.
“Since you’re in charge of the investigation, I’ll take care of monitoring Zhang Wan. I can also have Da Huang and the others take turns carrying the budding tiger into the big tent to investigate.”
Although Dahuang and the others can't speak, Xiaohu can. If there's anything unusual, Xiaohu can directly repeat it to him through thought, which couldn't be more convenient.
The group all thought it was a good idea and agreed.
Lu Xingye, the only one without a mission, protested: "What about me? What about me? Am I the only one with nothing to do?"
"You're in charge of guarding the house!" Zhou Yang said solemnly, pulling Lu Xingye along. "There are so many people in the house without superpowers, and there's Chai Jin, who's a ticking time bomb. Qing Tang is a girl, so of course you have to keep an eye on her!"
"..."
Lu Xingye was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and it seemed to make sense, so he had no choice but to accept it.
