After a flurry of activity, there was no one else left in the office.
Ke Li glanced at her sister and her master and saw nothing was happening, so she picked up her phone to search for map information.
“They even have a detailed map of Liancheng Urban Village. A technologically advanced world sure is convenient.”
She found the information she wanted in no time.
Without a detailed map, subsequent operations wouldn’t be easy.
If they tried to escape by reading street signs like before, they would most likely get caught.
After all, the search range had already narrowed down to outside the urban village.
Having a map could help avoid some unnecessary trouble.
“The main roads are too dangerous, and the small alleys might have ambushes. This is troublesome.”
Ke Li zoomed in and out of the map.
“As expected, a phone isn’t as convenient as a computer. I should have told Xiao Qingqing not to dismantle the laptop yet.”
The little one found some white paper and a ballpoint pen to plan a route.
Currently, the only tool they had was a Hongda motorcycle.
It’s very fast and could evade the encirclement of small fries.
Against experts, it could only serve as a distraction.
“What should we do to avoid these guys and slip away quietly?”
Ke Li thought the narrowing search range might be an opportunity.
If everyone else stayed in the urban village while they ran out, they could gain a huge advantage.
The problem was that it was very difficult to achieve.
There were many hunters involved in the encirclement.
There were also plenty of small fries.
Recalling Quanba Yang Xu’s men and Daoba’s gang of bikers gave her a headache.
These small fries didn’t have much combat power, but each one was a source of information.
If they couldn’t take them all out at once, they would surely tip off others and expose their whereabouts.
Furthermore, they had to watch out for Dian Jing.
That guy could hack into surveillance and track them in real time, a huge hidden danger.
“If only we could trick her.”
Ke Li quickly sketched a route on the paper.
One route involved abandoning the Hongda motorcycle and running across the rooftops.
There were many closely packed buildings here; they could easily jump across.
However, the hunters would think the same way.
Someone might have already set up an ambush along the escape route.
“No, we already failed once doing that last time. No need to repeat it.”
She decisively crossed out the route above.
“Besides, if we give up the motorcycle, we won’t get far.”
The urban village had complex roads, full of twists and turns; every small alley led to Pengcheng, making a complete blockade difficult.
The other side would probably guard the main roads on the periphery rather than block every alley.
This was due to a shortage of manpower.
Ke Li mentally gave a thumbs up to the official authorities’ blockade.
If all the major forces had flooded in, this game would have been impossible to play.
Just a human wave tactic alone would have overwhelmed them.
Not to mention the experts who were kept outside.
Although the actual situation wasn’t great, it was more stable than expected.
Yang Liuqing’s ultra-high-speed metamorphosis could turn the disadvantage around and steer things in a favorable direction.
Time was on their side.
She checked the condition of the two, and seeing Yang Liuqing’s slightly pale face, she knew it was almost over.
Mental space training couldn’t last too long.
Because the consumption was enormous.
To gain more time, they had to do this.
Fortunately, Yang Liuqing’s recovery speed was equally powerful.
After resting for a while, she could bounce back to full health on the spot.
“S-Rank Transcendents, probably only that old man and Chen Yanran, right?”
Looking away, Ke Li recalled the two people she had met last night.
That thin old man had clearly realized the sisters’ existence.
Chen Yanran was another case.
It seemed like she was deliberately closing off her Perception, completely hiding her strength.
“None of them are simple. Come to think of it, the master has good connections. After just one meeting, Chen Yanran was willing to help.”
If she were on the opposing side, their situation would be ten times more difficult.
At that point, forget about letting Yang Liuqing grow gradually.
It would be good if they didn’t force growth prematurely.
“With this ten thousand yuan investment, she’ll definitely make a killing later.”
Ke Li put the route map aside and started browsing her phone.
Seeing the battery was low, she found a charger in the office and plugged it in.
This thing would probably still be useful.
Inside Xinxin Commercial Lending Company, it was calm, but outside, the situation was turbulent.
As the search range narrowed, people from various major forces kept running into each other, causing constant minor conflicts.
If not for the presence of officials in black uniforms, there would have been bloodshed long ago.
“That Yang Liuqing sure knows how to hide.”
At the tables and chairs in front of the Meijiayi convenience store, a petite girl in a black uniform took a sip of red-canned Keri Cola and scanned the area ahead.
She sat there, her feet not touching the ground, looking only thirteen or fourteen years old, with chubby cheeks, yellowish-white skin, brown hair tied in twin tails, and azure eyes.
If not for her fluent Cantonese-accented Mandarin, one would think she was from overseas.
She was actually a native of Huaxia.
“No way, if she didn’t hide well, she’d be dead already. If she just came out, all she had to do was come with us. Right, Ayiguli?”
Sitting next to her was a tall girl also in a black uniform.
She looked about twenty years old, with a single ponytail and a pink tennis cap to shield from the harsh sunlight.
Both were top-notch in appearance and temperament.
Just sitting there, they attracted attention.
“By the way, the Deputy Director came over here last night, right? Where is she? Xin Tong, did she contact you?”
The brown-haired girl called Ayiguli looked over, confused.
“No, probably her phone battery died. No, the Deputy Director is very forgetful; she probably didn’t even bring her phone.”
Xin Tong took a sip of sugar-free soda, frowning slightly.
Heavily discounted stuff really didn’t taste good.
“I thought with the Deputy Director taking action personally, things would be wrapped up quickly today. I didn’t expect we wouldn’t even see her…”
Ayiguli found it hard to hold back.
As a newcomer, she admired her superior, especially one with such a huge reputation.
“…You actually have strange expectations of the Deputy Director. It would be good enough if she found the right place last night.”
Xin Tong’s mouth twitched.
The Deputy Director’s strength was beyond doubt.
SS-Rank [Ice Witch] was a powerhouse that ranked among the top in the entire world.
Moreover, she was young, beautiful, and extremely intelligent.
Her only flaw was being directionally challenged.
A very serious case of it.
If it were just that, it might be okay.
The biggest problem was that she liked to act alone.
“She even ice-skated there by herself. Deputy Director, you’re not carsick, are you?”
Ayiguli asked in a low voice.
“Shh, that’s a secret that must not be spoken!”
Xin Tong quickly leaned forward and covered her mouth tightly.
Seeing the two interact so leisurely, the lackeys of various forces were very unhappy.
But they could only endure or pretend not to notice.
Don’t be fooled by how imposing they usually seemed; if they provoked the officials, they would all have to kneel.
“So tired, it feels like a dozen big men are hanging on me.”
In the office, Yang Liuqing and Ke Ling finished their training.
The former almost collapsed to the ground.
The enormous mental consumption sent a wave of fatigue straight to her head.
“What about that guy?”
Ke Ling, still energetic, turned around the office and looked at her younger sister.
