Chapter 991: Stakeout

“What should we do next?” Feng Zi asked Zhang Heng after he sent the email.

“Give me your bracelet.”

“Hmm?”

Although Feng Zi was a little puzzled, she still took off her bracelet and handed it to Zhang Heng. He then put her bracelet on his wrist, right next to his. It was close enough for the signal blocker to cover both bracelets.

“Let’s find a safe place first,” said Zhang Heng.

“Okay, uhh… we can go back to my house or my sister’s house,” Feng Zi suggested after thinking for a bit.

“No. Your ID is already in their possession, which also means that they have all your information. In other words, you can’t go back to your home, your sister’s house, or your colleague’s and friends’ place. Besides…” Zhang Heng paused.

“…it’s you. Not us. I still have things to do. I’m going to send you over first.”

“Wait. So, you want me to find a place to hide like some useless heroine in a cliché movie? After that, I’m supposed to wait for everything to be over and show my face five minutes before the finale. Then, I will need to act all surprised and welcome you home, overjoyed and all? No, I don’t want that. I can help you. Didn’t you rely on me to help you make everyone take off their shirts in the bar?” Feng Zi asked.

“Being a useless heroine is better than dying. And the situation is different this time. The next battle is going to be a big one. I may not be able to protect you.”

“The good news is that I don’t need your protection. You haven’t come to the second level before. That means you are unfamiliar with the streets here, and you don’t know anyone here. I don’t know what you want to do next, but I’m pretty sure you’ll be needing a trustworthy local to help you with the directions. And that person is me.” Feng Zi pointed at her nose.

Zhang Heng hesitated for a moment and finally made a concession. That was because Feng Zi was right. Having a local by his side could indeed increase the success rate.

“Okay. But you have to promise me that you will do exactly what I tell you.”

“No problem,” Feng Zi quickly agreed. “What do you want me to do next?”

“We still have to find a safe place to make it our safe house,” Zhang Heng said, “so that if we are somehow separated, we can meet at the safe house.”

“I understand, but we have to go back to my factory before looking for a safe house,” Feng Zi said.

“…”

“You just agreed to do as I said,” Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

“Yes. I didn’t violate the agreement. I just made a small modification. We will go to the safe house, but I have to go back to the factory to get my equipment before that. You said that you might not be able to protect me. So, I have to find a way to protect myself.” Feng Zi blinked innocently.

“Are those equipment important to you?”

“They are very important to us. Those are the tools that I made myself. Believe me. Those tools will definitely be of use. And it won’t take too much of your time to take a trip to the factory. At this time, all the workers have left the factory. So all we have to do is sneak into the factory, grab my tools, and sneak out. No one will know,” Feng Zi said.

“Well. Let’s go to your factory first. After that, we will look for a safe house.” Zhang Heng was not a stubborn man. As long as Feng Zi could give him a reasonable reason, plans could always be changed according to the situation.

When the two were about to leave the night market, Zhang Heng suddenly stopped moving forward.

“What’s wrong?” Feng Zi asked.

“We are being watched again.”

Feng Zi’s eyes widened. “No way. Look at my attire. How can those bastards recognize me? Do you really want me to add eek… eek… eek… to every sentence I say?”

“It’s useless. The people who watch us this time are not the bystanders we met before. All of them are pros. So no matter how much you eek, it won’t affect them.”

After all, this time, Zhang Heng had only disguised himself with whatever clothes he could find at the night market. Hence, it was not as effective as before. Feng Zi was also with him now. Her temperament and the Lolita costume were more than enough to get rid of the eyes of ordinary people. When it came to the pros, however, they were as conspicuous as gold bars lying on the road.

Nonetheless, the stalker was also discovered by Zhang Heng. Although the former perfectly blended himself in the crowd, he still failed to hide. Zhang Heng also noticed that the enemy kept a good distance from him. Zhang Heng figured that they must’ve discovered Red’s body. In other words, the enemies were aware of his strength, the reason why they took a rather conservative approach. Despite that, however, Zhang Heng believed that they wouldn’t remain that way for too long.

Judging from the way the enemies watched them and hid, Zhang Heng realized that the person could also be a member of the emergency response team. After all, the emergency response team had the numbers advantage. Even if many couriers needed dealing with, only a couple could bring them real trouble. That meant their advantage in numbers would still help them efficiently achieve their goal.

The enemy had not attacked them, probably because he was waiting for his partner.

“What should we do? Do we have to move places? I know a crowded place not far from here,” Feng Zi proposed.

“No. No matter where we go, it is going to be difficult for us to get rid of that guy,” Zhang Heng said. “According to the original plan, I remember another alley at the other side of the bar.”

“Yes, but the alley leads to a school. I don’t think there’s anyone at the school.”

“Great. We shall go there.”

…

The boy in the baseball cap noticed that his targets had suddenly quickened pace, and his heart clenched a little.

Had he been discovered?

However, they seemed like they were in a rush somewhere, and he did not see Zhang Heng and Feng Zi turning their heads around to check on him. Since they were about to leave the night market and the crowd had become less dense, the boy waited again for good measure. It wasn’t until the two parties were thirty meters apart that the boy quickly followed them.

The boy cautiously tailed them for about a mile. After a while, Zhang Heng and Feng Zi didn’t seem to realize that he was following them, and he believed that they were genuinely in a rush somewhere. So the boy followed the captain’s orders and updated his latest status in the chat group. When Zhang Heng and Feng Zi disappeared at the entrance of an alley, the boy hesitated for a moment. He then lowered the brim of his baseball cap, pretended to be a passerby, and walked towards the alley.
