Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1405 637: Madman

Chen Changrui observed Gu Hao's condition.

Li Banfeng poked the feather duster into a critical spot; Gu Hao probably couldn't hold out much longer.

What did he just say about the magnetic storm weapon and coordinates mean?

Chen Changrui said: "You don't have much time left. Quickly, tell me about the coordinates."

Gu Hao struggled to say: "First let me down."

With Li Banfeng, Gu Hao dared not make demands. Saying extra words would mean an extra feather duster.

But with Chen Changrui, Gu Hao was less cooperative; Chen Changrui had no choice with so many years as colleagues. Whether to act is another matter; at least promise first: "Okay, after you tell me the coordinates, I'll let you down immediately."

"Let me down first, and I'll tell you the coordinates. You need to send me to the hospital soon; I don't want to die."

"Fine, I promise, but tell me the coordinates first."

Gu Hao shook his head: "Old Chen, don't play tricks on me. If you don't save me, don't think about finding out where the base is."

Chen Changrui lowered his face and said: "If you're delaying something important, could I still save you?"

"Then let's wait it out. If you wait until I'm dead, it's of no benefit to you!"

Chen Changrui wasn't listening to Gu Hao's talk; he just received a message from Li Qi.

The message included the coordinates of the magnetic storm weapon base and the license plates of the ships coming and going.

This was Shen Jingye asking Gu Hao to convey to Li Qi, telling Gu Hao to inform Li Qi immediately upon seeing him.

But he didn't anticipate Gu Hao being the traitor.

Chen Changrui said to Gu Hao: "Let's put the coordinate issue aside first, tell me where Director Li went?"

"He should be, going to find, our two sect leaders."

"Who are your two sect leaders?"

"I cannot, say, their names."

"Where are your two sect leaders located?"

Gu Hao repeated: "Let me down, and I'll tell you."

He was thinking too much. Chen Changrui wouldn't let him down.

"You stay hanging, hang a few more days; you're covered with Bureau Shen's blood; let it dry before saying anything." Chen Changrui turned and left the villa.

Gu Hao wanted to shout, but couldn't. Hoarsely, he said: "Don't go, don't, let me down, I'll apologize to Director Shen, I beg you, let me down..."

Leaving Yue Ming Garden, Chen Changrui immediately called Gao Yina, who was skeptical of the magnetic storm weapon issue.

"Director Chen, regarding this matter, I hope we base our actions on sufficient evidence..."

Usually easygoing, Chen Changrui's veins were pulsing.

In many years of working, some words anyone could say, but Chen Changrui despised doing so.

He cut off Gao Yina directly: "Director Gao, let me make it clear, I'm recording our call right now. I'm not coordinating with you; I'm handing off work with you,

the coordinates I obtained were precious clues exchanged for with countless blood by Director Li, presenting an irreplaceable opportunity for us,

the opponent's magnetic storm weapon can destroy our communication equipment in a short time, many of our operational systems will face paralysis; if such a weapon is used by the enemy in war, we'd be powerless to counter,

if you're sure you can take this responsibility, I can proceed according to protocol, systematically gather evidence and push forward investigation,

if you're purposely making things difficult for me to protect Hundred Demons Workshop, I have reason to suspect you're associated with this criminal organization or even colluding with Dark Star, Third Planet!"

Gao Yina was silent for a while.

Chen Changrui's aura was intimidating.

He said this was a clue Li Qi exchanged for with countless blood—did Li Qi have that much blood?

This obviously wasn't the point!

The point was Chen Changrui had labeled a very significant accusation.

She couldn't bear the responsibility of war, and Gao Yina didn't want to be linked with Hundred Demons Workshop.

"Director Chen, I'll organize a meeting right now; prepare the materials quickly..."

"I don't have time to prepare materials; we need to prepare for the upcoming war!"

"Old Chen, calm down, the mobilization of resources from all fronts requires coordination!"

Bang!

Chen Changrui threw the phone and pounded the steering wheel hard.

Bureau Chief Li! Where did you go!

...

Jia District, Baiqiao Village.

In an abandoned underground shopping mall, Du Wenming was dressed in a dark yellow tailcoat, setting up his laboratory.

Pei Yurong asked him to wear yellow, so he wore yellow.

The money was in place, the equipment was ready, and the team of over 300 personnel arranged by Pei Yurong was also in place.

Du Wenming truly didn't expect Pei Yurong to arrange for over 300 people to come. Her intent was clear: she wanted to monitor Du Wenming's every experimental step comprehensively and without dead ends.

She wanted to ensure that whatever Du Wenming could make here, she would be able to replicate.

This made Du Wenming very displeased; he glanced at Pei Yurong with a chill in his eyes.

Pei Yurong was surrounded by six people, three men and three women. Seeing Du Wenming's odd expression, they adjusted their positions to protect Pei Yurong in the center.

These six were experts from Outside Provinces, but only in Outside Provinces. If Du Wenming really wanted to act, no one present could stop him.

But Du Wenming couldn't fall out; the lab venue and equipment were all provided by Pei Yurong. Without her backing, just relying on himself to manage such a big project, within two days, Dark Star Bureau would come knocking.
