Chapter 1421: Chapter 1416: Clue (Part 1)
"Here?" Lin Xi asked.
He Zhanyin, standing next to him, nodded, replying with a serious expression.
This was a rather hidden corner of a special district, also on the outskirts of the slums where anything dirty and chaotic could happen.
It was here, as Siam had told Lin Xi, that Zhou Yan got injured before.
It was also because of this place that she had a chance to escape.
Because not far from here was the messy and chaotic slum area.
Although the land resources here weren’t as scarce as in Huaxia.
But, without the warlord’s permission!
Who would dare to randomly build?
This led to the slum’s houses becoming more numerous and dilapidated.
Densely packed, like a beehive.
After a while, Lin Xi couldn’t help but frown, "Was there heavy rain the day before yesterday?"
He Zhanyin couldn’t help but shrug, with a bitter smile, "Yes!"
Lin Xi didn’t say anything more and headed toward the slums.
He Zhanyin, following behind, sighed and spoke again, "Why not follow my method!"
"You won’t find anything like this!"
Heavy rain, plus several days have passed.
So, what traces are left now?
Even if you were an invincible expert with special methods, it would be useless.
This wasn’t in the last two days.
But, Lin Xi ignored him.
He had no choice but to keep following.
Of course, their relationship had returned to what it was before.
Because He Zhanyin discovered that despite Lin Xi’s strong abilities, he hadn’t changed from when they first met.
He wasn’t haughty or dismissive like some powerful individuals.
After all, he was a strong person.
No, a mighty strong person.
In his mind, except for the Dragon King, probably no one could be his match, right?
Or, Lin Xi might be the second best in Dragon Soul!
Even though He Zhanyin was also a core member of Dragon Soul, he knew nothing about the Innate Realm.
If he did, and considering Lin Xi as a Peak Soldier King, he wouldn’t think Lin Xi was the second strongest.
Both domestically and internationally, unless you’re a core member or reach the Soldier King Realm, you won’t be informed about the Innate Realm.
Not to mention He Zhanyin, who had been undercover abroad all this time.
His strength didn’t meet the requirements.
So, for various reasons, the strongest he knew was the Peak Soldier King level.
His lifelong goal was also to reach the Peak Soldier King level.
Even though he was already in his forties and hadn’t reached the top special forces level, he had long lost ambition for the Peak Soldier King.
But people, right!
Must have dreams.
Perhaps one day, a pie would fall from the sky.
And suddenly, he would break through continuously.
Or his potential and talent would improve drastically.
Becoming a Soldier King would come naturally.
Who can say for sure?
For an intelligence officer like him, he knows quite a few secrets!
Seeing Lin Xi ahead, not acting like a tracker examining traces, as if just taking a walk, he said nothing.
A master, right!
Who knows what methods they have!
After witnessing Lin Xi’s wonders this morning, he was even more eager to see Lin Xi demonstrate his skills again.
But the two of them wasted over an hour.
Covered quite some distance, but in the end, Lin Xi found no clues.
No, one thing he was certain of.
That was Zhou Yan had indeed stayed in the slums.
But whether she was still there now was uncertain.
If he had come two days earlier, or if there hadn’t been that heavy rain.
He could have obtained more detailed clues.
Perhaps, if the big-chested woman hadn’t left the slum, he might even have found her directly.
Traces like scents, blood, and footprints could all have been tracked.
He didn’t share this with He Zhanyin.
After all, telling an intelligence officer, in such a populous place after several days, would be a senseless thing to do.
In reality, what he didn’t know was.
Even if he had said it, He Zhanyin wouldn’t have thought poorly of him.
He would only think he was really capable.
"Let’s go with your method!" Lin Xi said.
He Zhanyin nodded, sensing no sarcasm or jest this time.
He could feel Lin Xi’s concern for the woman.
Actually, was there even a need to feel?
The morning’s scene explained everything.
Frankly, what kind of woman was she really?
She was able to escape alone in front of three Soldier Kings and a group from Siam.
At least she was a Soldier King.
A very formidable Soldier King at that.
But why didn’t he know when someone like that came to Huaxia.
Logically speaking, he was Huaxia’s absolute leader in the entire Golden Triangle, even most of Southeast Asia.
No matter what activity Huaxia had, it would first go through him.
Then, he would send people.
"Okay!"
He had no objections.
Instead, he was quite anxious.
Because he knew, the longer this dragged on, the more dangerous Lin Xi’s search target might become.
Oh, she was called Zhou Yan, right?
While guiding Lin Xi, he also found out what it was all about.
Zhou Yan was executing a mission in the Golden Triangle.
Capture, huh?
Hearing this, he couldn’t help but curse the leaders of Chuzhou City.
Damn, why wasn’t this matter reported higher up?
If it were reported higher up, perhaps his superiors would have known.
Once they knew, and with his collaboration, wouldn’t capturing someone be easy?
In the end, she had to go undercover alone.
What a mess this was!
Once he confirmed Zhou Yan’s appearance and personality, they arrived at an underground casino.
The casino initially wanted to stop them or perhaps ask for some benefits.
But the person at the gate was immediately stopped by another, who whispered something into his ear, and the two let them through.
Yes, Lin Xi and He Zhanyin went in.
"See!" He Zhanyin started boasting, "My reputation is big here!"
"Even if I haven’t visited this special district for many years, people here still remember me!"
"Otherwise, if it were someone unknown, they would at least charge a lot of money to get in."
Lin Xi’s face showed a hint of another expression, "Is that so?"
"Of course!" He Zhanyin said confidently.
"Actually, I heard what that person said!" Lin Xi said.
"What was it?" He Zhanyin, seeing Lin Xi’s expression, suddenly felt uneasy.
"They said, you’re the big brother’s wife!"
"....."
If Lin Xi hadn’t stopped him, He Zhanyin would have run to the gate to beat those two up.
Now, of course, getting information was more important!
