Chapter 286: Sang Jing Wen’s Probe
The City Lord’s Mansion, the Meeting Hall.
Han Song and Zhou Changyi were extremely anxious as they waited. Xiao Yi Fei’s expression was also very grim beside Sang Jing Wen. If it weren’t for the fact that his mother and younger brother were temporarily safe, he wouldn’t have been able to sit in the Meeting Hall waiting for Sang Chu.
Sang Jing Wen stared at Wang Quan, who was sitting in the corner, his expression dark and unreadable.
“Wang Quan, according to you, Sang Sang checked everywhere on the second floor and found nothing suspicious, is that right?”
Wang Quan cowered timidly, his voice barely audible as he replied, “Yes, yes, Brother Sang.”
Sang Jing Wen looked at Wang Quan, his mind filled with the thought that this person was not right. Sang Chu would never have rashly evacuated with people without finding any clues.
This man named Wang Quan is problematic!
Sang Jing Wen tried to appear gentler, saying softly, “Don’t be nervous, I just want to ask for more details. Sang Sang hasn’t arrived yet, so tell me what you saw at the hospital.”
Wang Quan lowered his head, his impatience unable to be concealed, yet he still patiently recounted from the beginning.
Sang Jing Wen glanced at his lowered head, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, and interrupted him with a clear, cold voice, “You said you saw it in the storage room. Can you describe the monster’s appearance in detail? I’ve studied a bit of drawing, so tell me, and I’ll draw it.”
He took out paper and a pen, waiting for Wang Quan’s narration.
Xia Ru walked over to Sang Jing Wen and was utterly shocked when he saw what Sang Jing Wen had drawn based on Wang Quan’s description. This, wasn’t this his tentacle?
Wang Quan: “Brother, Brother Sang, I, I only remember that much.”
Sang Jing Wen: “That’s very good. In such a dangerous and urgent situation, for an ordinary person like you to recall so many things in just a few moments, and even remember the monster’s patterns so clearly, your memory is truly excellent. This will be of great help to our future work.”
Wang Quan: This is bad. I was only thinking about diverting the monster’s attention to Xia Ru before, but I didn’t expect this.
He hurriedly looked up, only to meet Sang Jing Wen’s gaze. Was that admiration?
What is there to admire about this? Doesn’t he suspect me?
Wang Quan was bewildered. Doesn’t Sang Jing Wen have a screw loose? Shouldn’t I have been exposed by now?
Before he could figure it out, Sang Chu entered. Lu Min Feng had gone alone to find Li Yue to treat the aftereffects of her supernatural ability.
“Brother? What are you guys doing?”
Sang Jing Wen quickly walked over to Sang Chu, “Sang Sang, you’re here at the right time. Look, this is what I drew based on Wang Quan’s description, the monster he saw.”
“This?” Sang Chu turned to look at Wang Quan, showing him the drawing in her hand, “Are you sure? Is it like this?”
Wang Quan: “Yes, it’s like this. Brother Sang drew it very well.”
Sang Jing Wen smiled at the corner of his mouth, “You described it very accurately. I’ve never met anyone who could remember so many details in a panic. You’re very good.”
Wang Quan’s heart skipped a beat, fearing that Sang Chu would see through him. But to his surprise, she said, “Indeed, he’s very talented. With this, our future actions will be much more convenient.”
Sang Jing Wen: “Yes, as long as we spread this portrait, everyone can be careful, and be vigilant and report it as soon as they discover it. Everyone’s safety can also be greatly improved.”
Sang Chu looked at her brother’s sly expression and couldn’t help but sigh. If only her brother were a little colder, but if he were colder, he wouldn’t be Sang Jing Wen, but Sang Chu.
“Yes, we’ll listen to my brother. Han Song, Zhou Changyi, I know you’re anxious. I’ll leave this matter to you. Search the entire base extensively. This tentacle could be a supernatural ability user, a mutated plant, or even a creature we haven’t seen before. In any case, everyone be careful. Keep your optical computers on at all times and share your locations so the base can track you and provide timely rescue if anything happens.”
“Yes!”
Han Song anxiously hurried to Sang Chu’s side, took the photograph of the tentacle, copied it, and sent it out to everyone.
Watching Han Song rush out in a hurry, Zhou Changyi reluctantly greeted Sang Chu.
“Sister Sang, we’ll be leaving now.”
“Mhm, be careful yourself.”
“I know, you too, Sister Sang.”
After speaking, he left. Sang Jing Wen winked at Sang Chu, the meaning of which was obvious.
Sang Chu nodded slightly, “Wang Quan, you must be tired from being at the hospital. Go and rest first. We’ll handle things here. Don’t worry, I’ve arranged for magic beast patrols around the City Lord’s Mansion, twenty-four hours a day without interruption. Each team is led by incredibly powerful orcs. You can sleep soundly.”
Hearing this, Wang Quan couldn’t help but swallow. How could he escape with so many magic beasts?
“Thank, thank you, Sister Sang. Then, then I’ll be going.”
“Mhm, go ahead.”
Xiao Yi Fei didn’t understand what these siblings were up to and found it very strange. He walked over to Sang Jing Wen and nudged his waist with his elbow, “What riddle are you two playing at? This…”
Before he could finish speaking, Sang Jing Wen directly asked, “A Fei, what do you want to eat tonight?”
“Huh? I, I’m not in the mood to eat right now. My brother is in this state, and my mother is also not thinking clearly. Sigh, never mind, never mind. Since everything is fine, I’ll go see my brother. This troublesome guy!”
After speaking, he left directly. Sang Jing Wen looked at the manuscript Han Song had left behind in his hand, “Little Sister, what do you think?”
Sang Chu smiled and tilted her chin, following his gaze. The direction she pointed was actually Xia Ru?
Sang Jing Wen looked at the portrait in his hand, then at Xia Ru, and stroked his nose, saying, “It’s good.”
The simple “It’s good” left Xia Ru confused, “Brother Jing Wen…”
Sang Jing Wen: “Ahem, so what do we do now?”
“Xia Ru, you continue to help take care of Bao Yu. I’m afraid his thing might hurt someone. As for Aunt Jian, let her continue to rest. Brother, arrange for someone to watch her. For everything else, don’t worry about it for now.”
Xia Ru originally wanted to ask about Uncle Gao. He hadn’t seen him since Xue You took him away after entering the second floor. But seeing that Sang Chu didn’t want to say more, he swallowed the words back.
“Then I’ll go see Bao Yu first.”
“I’ll go arrange for people now.”
“Mhm, everyone be careful.”
Sang Jing Wen gently stroked Sang Chu’s head and said, “You too. If you need anything, just tell your brother.”
“I know.”
Watching their retreating backs, Sang Chu’s face darkened. Lin Shao Qing walked up to Sang Chu and transmitted via contract: 【This Wang Quan is a big problem. He has clearly seen Xia Ru’s supernatural ability. What do you plan to do now? 】
【We’ll wait for the rabbit. You and Shi Feng take the orcs to patrol the City Lord’s Mansion. Absolutely no slack should be allowed. 】
Lin Shao Qing didn’t understand: 【How will you wait for the rabbit like this? He won’t be able to escape. 】
Sang Chu’s lips curved slightly: 【That’s exactly what we want, for him not to be able to escape. Go do it now. 】
【Alright, you’re the Master, I’ll listen to you! 】
