Chapter 204: Together (2) (1/2)
“What happened?” After putting down the wig and artificial skin, Lei Yin first looked at Rei Li, who was lying down on the bed strapped with bandages, and then turned around and asked Chang’an.
“It’s those men in black, they attacked our bases once again. But this time, there were much more of them. Fortunately, your excellency warned us last week that the enemy would likely make their move. Therefore, the casualties are not that heavy. But we lost contact with other divisions.”
“Why would they do that? Is it for that information?”
Chang’an replied: “Probably. Although I don’t know how they knew, one copy of the data is indeed in little Rei’s shell company.”
Lei Yin turned to Rei Li. “How did you get hurt?”
Being asked about this issue, Rei Li was full on fire as he said: “One day I will skin those sons of b*tches *sses. I was in a meeting with some people in the company when those guys suddenly rushed in and started killing people. At the time I was injured; when they chased me, I had no other choice than to send people to leak the gas on the first-floor restaurant, blowing several of them.” read this on subudai11.com
Lei Yin looked askance at him, “Meeting? Why would there be a meeting late at night? You’re not having a secret meeting are you?”
Rei Li said discontentedly: “It’s a real meeting, Master. Don’t always judge me so quick like that, okay?”
“There’s nothing to be done, your credit rating is too poor.” After lowering his head to think for a moment, he asked Chang’an: “Didn’t you already make a deal with them? Why would those guys want to make their move on you again?”
“I don’t know either. This attack is a bit unusual, it seems like they are more blatant than before.”
Lei Yin said in a deep voice: “This may be a real full-scale war.”
Hearing this, Chang’an and Rei Li’s hearts could not help but sink. They knew what force behind those men in black is, which definitely no underworld gangs can compete.
Lei Yin continued: “This is their territory, so we are at huge disadvantages here. We have to leave the country as soon as possible. If somewhere else, their ground force would not dare to follow us in the open. If it becomes murky, that’s our best advantage and we don’t need to be afraid anymore. However, among them, there are some people that you have to be very careful to deal with.” Lei Yin then told them about his encounter with Sasako.
Hearing that the woman can almost fight to a draw with Lei Yin, Rei Li asked in amazement: “Is that woman really that powerful?”
“Yes. She’s the most powerful Esper I have ever seen. Let’s hope that there are not many people like her, otherwise, this war will be very difficult to cope with. Now we don’t need to think about it too much, the most important thing is for you to recover first. Until things calm down a bit, we will leave this place. Did you prepare the things that I told you in advance?”
Rei Li nodded his head, “I’ve prepared them. This abandoned villa is among those.”
After his fight with Sasako a week ago, Lei Yin had a sense of foreboding that those men in black may soon strike Rei Li’s forces once again. Otherwise, they would not send her to investigate him. Therefore, he called Rei Li to secretly save some arms on several storage points, as well as cash and canned food, just in case. But he never thought the other party would make their move this fast.
Thus, Rei Li continued to recuperate for a few days. Chang’an and Lei Yin stayed in the room to look after him, but sometimes they would take turns to inspect the situation outside.
By the third day, Rei Li manage to get out of bed and move around. Seeing his injuries gradually healed, his mood improved a lot.
