Chapter 391: Cut-off Clue and the Mystery Man’s Visit! (1/2)

Looking at the incomplete corpse on the ground, Bai Xiaofei’s face couldn’t be uglier. The duck that was right at his mouth about to be eaten was blown up like this, yet he still had no clue on who caused it. He had really taken a huge loss!

“Don’t feel bad, there will be more opportunities…” Qin Lingyan came over and comforted when she saw Bai Xiaofei’s expression, but unexpectedly, he smiled.

“Bad? Why would I feel bad? Now this is interesting, isn’t it? Our trip would be for nothing if the opponent is too weak.” He didn’t sound convincing at all, saying that between gritted teeth.

Qin Lingyan didn’t say anything more. Words were useless at that moment.

“Let’s go back and see if there are any gains on the merchant group’s side.” This was Bai Xiaofei’s only expectation left at present, even if he knew that it might end up undesirable…

Sure enough, when they returned, Shang Youdao was waiting anxiously with a heavy expression. It didn’t look like there was any good news at all. And his face sank even more when he saw that Bai Xiaofei’s group came back empty-handed.

“Didn’t catch up?” Shang Youdao asked, disappointment written on his face.

“We caught up and captured them. They even admitted that they belonged to the Thunderstorm Bandits.” Upon Bai Xiaofei’s words, the disappointment on Shang Youdao’s face instantly turned into delight.

“And then? Why didn’t you bring them back?”

“But they were merely abandoned chess pieces. Someone came out of nowhere and killed them before I could get any useful information.”

These words sent Shang Youdao’s mood on a sharp drop.

“Our side is even worse. Although I arranged rescue for those groups, I still didn’t get anything either. The other party was too strong. Most died in vain.”

Bai Xiaofei’s arrangement was actually perfect, they couldn’t have expected that the opponent would choose to kill their own people to silence them…

“Although there is no gain, we can be certain that there are no moles in your merchant group, or else they wouldn’t be exposed today.”

Despite the clue being silenced in the end, it was undeniable that the Thunderstorm Bandits were threatened in today’s battle. If that captain’s mouth had been faster, the situation wouldn’t be like this now.

“Even so, I still have my reservations. After all, we can never be too careful.” Shang Youdao still persisted in the possibility of a mole. This was a habit he had developed in the many years of doing business.

“I’m just saying. I can’t change what you want to think.” Bai Xiaofei shrugged and made no further comment.

“What are we going to do next?” Glossing over the topic, Shang Youdao asked the questions he cared most about.

“Are you in a hurry? Does this thing need to be sold within a certain time?” Bai Xiaofei asked back.

Shang Youdao was stunned. “No…”

“Then you should calm down. The Thunderstorm Bandits just wish that you’d hurry up and send it out of the city. Why do you want to satisfy them? The body count so far isn’t enough for you?”
