Chapter 312: A Failed Operation?
Chapter 312: A Failed Operation?
After seeing Jiang Cheng off, Yang Chun's expression quickly turned grim. He was well aware of the Dawn Society's style, especially when it came to dealing with traitors—they would never give up after just one attempt.
He would soon inform the supervisor about this matter and request for more capable individuals to protect Jiang Cheng.
But now, he had to call Bing Li and ask him what he was up to. Did he really think the black market was an easy target? Ideally, he wanted to dissuade them, although he knew it was unrealistic.
The phone rang for only a few seconds before Bing Li picked up, his voice filled with anticipation.
"Senior Brother Yang, you're calling me so late. Have you found something in your investigation? Did you locate that kid?"
"Hmph."
Yang Chun snorted coldly, "Junior Brother Hong, at a time like this, are you still playing dumb with me? Is that amusing to you?"
"What do you mean?" Bing Li's expression changed, his heart skipping a beat.
Could it be that Lone Wolf's mission had failed?
How could this be?
For this operation, he had made thorough preparations, even sending two of his most trusted men as a precaution instead of randomly choosing anyone from the organization.
"What do you mean?" Yang Chun laughed coldly.
"I've already made it clear over the phone. I will investigate this matter and inform you once I have results. But what did you do? Putting on a front, while doing something else behind my back?"
Bing Li quickly composed himself, his voice steady. "Senior Brother Yang, you're being a bit unfair here. When have I ever put on a front while doing something else?"
"Okay, then let me be more specific. Today, you sent two assassins to infiltrate my black market's territory, right?"
"Senior Brother Yang, what kind of joke is this? How could I possibly do such a thing?" Bing Li shook his head.
"Is that so?" Yang Chun wasn't surprised and continued, "These two assassins were equipped with sensory stones and breath-suppressing talismans, clearly prepared. However, they underestimated our black market's vigilance and were captured alive. They confessed that you sent them."
Upon hearing this, Bing Li secretly laughed to himself.
If it were anyone else, he wouldn't care.
But when Yang Chun mentioned this, it was likely that this operation had failed, and Lone Wolf and Invincible had probably met with misfortune.
A wave of sorrow rose in Bing Li's heart, but he could only keep up the act.
"Senior Brother Yang, if you're calling to say these things, then I don't see the need to continue this conversation. Our Dawn Society has always coexisted harmoniously with the black market. I could never send people to do such a thing.
As for those two individuals? They were probably sent by someone else. After being captured by you, they're framing me. So, if you want to kill them, go ahead, it has nothing to do with me."
"Junior Brother Hong, you're ruthless."
Yang Chun felt a chill rise up his back.
Indeed, those who could stay in such an assassin organization for long weren't good people.
Bing Li smiled ambiguously.
Sacrificing for the Dawn Society was only natural.
If one day he fell into the hands of his enemies, he wouldn't resent himself.
"Alright, that's all."
Yang Chun took a deep breath, "Junior Brother Hong, regardless of whether you're involved in this matter or not, I hope there won't be similar incidents in the future. I also hope that if the traitor is indeed in Ding Hu Residential District, you can hand him over to us as soon as possible. The Dawn Society will spare no effort to execute the traitor."
"I understand, I'll do my best."
The call ended.
A hurried voice sounded beside him.
"Bing Li, what happened? Did something happen to Lone Wolf and the others?"
"Yes."
Bing Li nodded.
"How could this happen?"
The man beside him couldn't believe it.
One was a Sixth Rank, the other a Seventh Rank, and they had Breath Suppressing Talismans. How could they have failed and been captured?
"Bing Li, what should we do next? We have to think of a way to save them quickly!"
"Don't be impulsive."
Bing Li spoke in a cold tone, "That Yang Chun guy, he's deliberately saying this to lure us. If we rush to their rescue, we'll play right into their hands, and it'll be difficult to resolve this situation later. Moreover, have you considered that he might be tricking us? If it were you who was captured, would you betray us?"
The man shook his head.
If he were in that situation, he would have ended his own life.
Suddenly, his face turned pale, a possible scenario came to mind, one he dreaded the most.
"First, let's send someone to gather information about the situation."
Bing Li spoke in a deep voice.
"We can make a plan after we understand the situation. It's not too late."
"Okay, alright."
The man could only agree.
"I'll send someone to gather information immediately."
"Go ahead."
Bing Li watched as the man left, his expression darkening.
This Yang Chun, does he really think I'm a fool?
Earlier that morning, Lone Wolf's, sending a text message informing him that the traitor was hiding in the Black Market's alchemy chamber.
What he didn't expect was their operation's failure, and their capture.
"What went wrong?"
Bing Li furrowed his brows.
He could only wait for his companions to gather specific information, but it might take a few days.
But as he said on the phone, the Dawn Society will not tolerate traitors! Especially since Lone Wolf and Invincible are involved.
Bing Li swore to avenge this grudge.
On the other side, Yang Chun also coldly snorted after hanging up the phone.
But without concrete evidence, he couldn't do anything to the other party.
Starting a conflict rashly, even as the deputy director, he couldn't bear the responsibility.
"Knowing the nature of the Dawn Society's assassins, they won't let this go."
He thought to himself as he walked out the door and headed towards the central district.
Unlike the outer district's duplex villas, the central district was filled with single-family homes, each with its own guard.
Yang Chun entered a villa and waited on the sofa for a moment. A middle-aged man in pajamas slowly descended the stairs.
"Director!"
Yang Chun immediately stood up from the sofa, showing respect.
Don't be fooled by this man's ordinary appearance; he's a Tenth Rank Mentalist with a Tenth Rank Primordial Energy body, one of the most powerful individuals in the outer district.
"I've told you numerous times, when we meet privately, don't call me director, just use my name."
The middle-aged man spoke irritably, opening the fridge and taking out two bottles of drinks, he walked over.
Yang Chun smiled.
He dared not call him by name.
"Speak, what's on your mind?"
Gu Changkong sat down opposite him and passed him a bottle, opening the other himself.
