Chapter 270 - ECHO IN HIS MIND (2/2)

Still, Zhong Feng did not leave the space immediately.

He had a feeling that this was the only place that Hu Lei could have led any attacker.

He looked at the restroom with care, examining the surfaces for any signs of what had happened. After a few minutes of inspecting the space, he saw a drop of blood on the floor. The droplet was concealed beneath the sinks, so it was not obvious.

The feeling that hit him at the realisation of what had happened was not unfamiliar.

The images of a past he had thought long gone arose.

Good night, Ah-Feng.

Good night, Ah-Feng.

Good night, Ah-Feng.

They reverberated in his mind again and again.

He felt lightheaded. He could not breathe.

His body lost its power as absolute terror flowed through him the very essence of his being.

Then, his phone rang.

He picked it up without looking.

”Boss Zhong, the attackers have retreated except for a few we managed to catch. It is strange. They just left like it was nothing.” The head of security spoke out with a lack of clarity.

Zhong Feng did not respond.

He already understood what had happened.

The attack was merely a distraction to force the security team to direct their efforts outside, leaving a window for someone else to take Hu Lei.
