Chapter 275 Back to the Dragon City

Kong ZhengHui and the others had been following for a long time. This truck finally entered the boundaries of Dragon City.

Da Liang sat in the car, still somewhat surprised, "After all that trouble, why did he come back to Dragon City?"

"Keep following him, and be careful not to get discovered." Kong ZhengHui lowered his head, as if pondering something.

The group continued to follow, maintaining stealth and caution, afraid of being noticed.

Another hour passed, and around eleven o'clock in the morning, the truck arrived at a small town at the foot of Hongshan Temple in Dragon City.

Although the town wasn't large, many people came here to burn incense and worship Buddha, so the town was still quite lively.

In front of a dilapidated residential building, Zhang Yuan jumped out of the car, looked around, and walked into the building.

This building was quite old, and the plaster on the walls had peeled off in many places, revealing the red bricks underneath.

Kong ZhengHui and the others parked their car nearby and waited outside. To avoid exposure, the group ate and drank in the car.

Even when they needed to pee, they would first pee into mineral water bottles.

Kong ZhengHui also sat in the car. After several days of travel, his clothes were a little dirty and had a strange smell, but he didn't care.

Once Zhang Yuan went in, he never came out, not even to eat lunch.

Da Liang sat in the car, feeling a little irritable, and couldn't help but say, "What does he want to do here?"

Kong ZhengHui remained patient, waving his hand and saying, "Don't worry, this lead, tracing back to Dragon City, is getting interesting."

"Mm."

Da Liang lit a cigarette and, along with his brothers, continued to wait quietly.

…

At the same time, District One, Huafu.

In the corridor of the Qing Yi Bureau, Lu Zhen walked briskly, a hint of anxiety in his expression, quickly heading towards Kang DingHuang's office.

In front of the office door, Kang DingHuang's secretary was pushing the door open, meeting Lu Zhen face to face.

The secretary took two steps forward, blocking Lu Zhen, and said to him politely, "Director Lu, are you looking for our Director? He's not here right now…"

Lu Zhen was a little annoyed and pushed the secretary away, "Get out of the way, don't block my path!"

Lu Zhen was very strong, exercising regularly, and his body was full of muscles.

The secretary was pushed aside, but still tried to persuade him, "Director Lu, the Director is really not here…"

"Squeak!"

Lu Zhen ignored him and yanked the office door open.

In the office, Kang DingHuang was sitting on the sofa, with an LCD TV in front of him, connected to a high-end game console.

At this moment, Kang DingHuang was holding a controller, drinking tea, and playing games on the screen.

"Drip, drip, da, da!"

The game music echoed in the room, making Lu Zhen even more annoyed. He looked at Kang DingHuang speechlessly and questioned, "Kang DingHuang! I called you but you didn't answer, and you didn't reply to my texts, making me very anxious, you know? So many people are losing sleep over this, and you're still in the mood to play games?"

Kang DingHuang turned to look at him. Before he could speak, the secretary had already followed in, saying apologetically, "Director, I told him you weren't here…"

Kang DingHuang waved his hand, signaling the secretary to leave first.

The secretary nodded, turned and left the room, closing the door behind him.

Kang DingHuang remained calm, pointing to the sofa beside him and said, "You're always so impatient. Come, sit down and talk."

Lu Zhen loosened his tie, his face showing displeasure, "I don't have time to sit now! You said you wanted to take charge, and everyone listened to you! Now so many people are risking their lives for this, my brother is even gone, but you haven't made a single move… Lao Kang, what exactly do you want to do?"

Kang DingHuang looked calm, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen didn't take it. Kang DingHuang put down the teacup and pointed to the TV screen, "Look, this is an intellectual puzzle game, and each level is harder than the last. On the last level, it has stumped me for three full days, and I still haven't figured out how to solve it. The more I want to solve it, the more anxious I get. The more anxious I get, the less I can solve it."

Lu Zhen said impatiently, "Don't tell me these grand theories, I just want to know…"

Kang DingHuang waved his hand, interrupting him, and said to him very seriously, "Lao Lu, you know what kind of person I am the best. It's precisely because so many people have staked their lives on this matter that I need to stay calm and can't afford to make mistakes. At the very least, I need to ensure that any move we make has a chance of winning before we do it. Otherwise, the whole thing will end in complete failure, and even harm those who trust us."

Lu Zhen frowned, not answering.

Kang DingHuang patted him on the shoulder and continued, "Am I not anxious? Su TianYu could show up at any time and take over the situation again. The time left for us is indeed running out. But the closer we get to that point, the less we can afford to make mistakes."

Lu Zhen sighed softly. Although he didn't speak, he was clearly moved by these words.

Kang DingHuang seized the opportunity to put the controller in his hand, "Come on, be patient, and help me think together, how do we get through this level?"

Lu Zhen sat on the sofa, holding the controller, glanced at the TV screen, and couldn't help but ask, "Alright, I won't be anxious, but you have to put my mind at ease. Tell me, how much of a role can your people play?"

Kang DingHuang picked up the teacup, slowly took a sip of tea, and then said, "When the time is right, Dragon City will be completely split. Even if Su TianYu comes back, he won't be able to salvage the situation."

Lu Zhen nodded, saying nothing more.

…

Around seven o'clock at night, Kong ZhengHui leaned back in his chair, squinting his eyes, feeling drowsy.

Just as he was half asleep, he heard a young man's shout, "He's out!"

Kong ZhengHui immediately perked up and opened his eyes to look out the window.

Zhang Yuan had changed his clothes, wearing a black coat and a baseball cap, and walked out of the residential building. He took out a set of car keys, opened an old car parked next to him, and slowly drove away.

Kong ZhengHui immediately waved his hand and said, "Quick, follow him!"

"Okay."

The group silently followed behind.

After about half an hour, Zhang Yuan's car drove into a new district of Dragon City, and finally stopped in front of a somewhat secluded teahouse.

Although the location of the teahouse was not eye-catching, the decoration was very good and high-end.

Zhang Yuan got out of the car, pressed down his hat, and walked into the teahouse.

Kong ZhengHui and the others parked their car nearby and continued to wait.

Not long after, a black car stopped next to them. Then, a man got out of the car, turned to look around, and quickly entered the teahouse.

Kong ZhengHui recognized the other person at a glance, and couldn't help but look shocked.

Da Liang was also stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap, Guo Zhengdao?"

The atmosphere in the car became a little heavy. Da Liang came back to his senses, gritting his teeth and saying, "Damn it, after investigating all this time, we ended up investigating back here! Brother, do we make a move?"

Kong ZhengHui's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand, saying, "Don't act yet, let's see what they want to do!"
