Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1038 - 516: Ruins in the Eastern Suburbs
Over there, Fang Cheng had already put away his credentials, speaking with a somewhat hurried tone:
"Is Director Ling still upstairs? I just finished my report on intelligence analysis, but a few pages accidentally fell at home, so I just went back to get them."
"Director Ling just left to handle urgent matters at headquarters."
The man in black glanced at the document in Fang Cheng’s hand, lowered his voice and said:
"The Director instructed that you bring the complete report to headquarters tomorrow to see him directly."
Although Ghost Scythe is not a Spiritual Ability User, under the body’s enhancement, his hearing far surpasses that of ordinary people.
The distance of tens of meters felt like whispering in his ear, hearing it loud and clear.
At this moment, the man in black looked around again, leaned forward, and drew closer to Fang Cheng’s ear:
"There’s one more thing, the Director specifically asked me to pass on to Specialist Fang."
"The action leader from Tian Nan Province has also returned to East Capital. The Director said that you are familiar with him, and regarding the situation there, you need to meet with him tonight to handle follow-up matters."
As he said this, he handed over a note.
"Alright, got it."
Fang Cheng reached out to take it, nodded, his expression solemn: "I’ll head over immediately."
Upon hearing this, Ghost Scythe, hidden in the car, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Night Owl."
"The subject just contacted said he’s connected to the action leader in Tian Nan Province, that target is going to meet up."
On the other side of the earpiece, Night Owl, upon hearing this, began to breathe heavily.
"It seems our target tracking wasn’t wrong, just a minor detail error."
Night Owl swiftly connected all the information, his tone filled with excitement:
"Ghost Scythe, do you know what I just found in the archive records?"
"What?"
"This target named Fang Cheng is actually in a direct blood relation with Fang Shijie, a former member of ’Ideal Land.’
"And this person was involved in the Guangwu Gate shooting case, indeed one of the batch of traitors who betrayed us!"
"Are you saying..."
The red light in Ghost Scythe’s eyes intensified.
"Keep following!"
Night Owl’s voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement:
"Whether he’s from the Special Search Team or not, we must investigate this matter thoroughly. We might discover something incredible, a shocking secret!"
"If we can successfully get our hands on this secret, we’ll surely be personally acknowledged by that great figure, not only elevating our status within the organization, but perhaps even gaining unforeseen opportunities, breaking through our current limits."
"Understood."
Ghost Scythe licked his somewhat dry lips, the killing intent in his eyes no longer hidden, replaced by the flames of ambition.
Ahead, Fang Cheng was already waving farewell to the two men in black, getting back into the driver’s seat.
The black SUV started, this time with noticeably increased speed, no hesitation, heading straight towards the city’s outer ring with haste.
The bustling street scene began to retreat rapidly.
The bright neon lights gradually thinned, replaced by dim street lights and increasingly desolate scenery on both sides.
The wheels rolled over the bumpy road, the sensation of jolting growing stronger.
About half an hour later.
There were no high-rises in sight anymore, only large patches of wasteland surrounded by walls.
This is the East Suburb Unfinished Building Area.
Several years ago, after a real estate giant’s funds chain broke, it left a giant scar on this city.
A dozen high-rise buildings with only concrete frames built, like giant skeletons stripped of flesh, standing tall amid the darkening and overgrown wild grasses, exuding a sense of dead silence.
Night winds blew through the hollow floors, producing a sound similar to ghostly cries and howls.
In the distance, there was only a solitary TV signal tower.
The red aviation obstacle light at the top rhythmically flashed, like the single eye of a demon blinking, watching over this desolate land.
