Chapter 825: The Operation Begins
As the clock struck seven, the sky began to darken. By this time, Ling Mo’s backpack was filled with a whole bag of “blood blisters.” The outer layer was unexpectedly tough, which made Ling Mo’s collection work much easier. With these things, Old Lan might just be able to research a way to help Ling Mo alleviate his troubles and also deepen his understanding of the Black Widow.
“Old Zheng, you’re in charge of blocking off this street. With Mu Chen and the others helping you, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Lan Lan and the others will stay by your side, and take this sunglasses man with you,” Ling Mo said, crushing the food wrapper in his hand and swallowing the last bite of his dry rations as he stood up. They were hiding in a shop at the moment, peeking through the door to catch a distant glimpse of the building. Ling Mo’s target was inside there…
“You want us to hold off Falcon’s reinforcements, right? I got it…” Old Zheng nodded with a bitter smile. At this point, he had no choice but to cooperate.
The sunglasses man, upon being mentioned, shot Ling Mo a cold glance, wishing for nothing more than for Ling Mo to never return. As for his own neck… as long as he had that intelligence, he still held value. Even if someone got hold of that intelligence, they’d surely want more from him. In fact, in his opinion, this battle was essentially a contest over him…
But just as he started thinking this, Ling Mo’s gaze suddenly swept over to him. The sunglasses man’s heart skipped a beat, and his smile turned into a twitch. For some reason, he seemed to detect a hint of mockery in those bright eyes, even a trace of ridicule…
“Not just reinforcements; we also need to prevent anyone from escaping,” Xia Na said with a sly wink.
“…Fine by me,” Old Zheng said helplessly. “But this street isn’t the only entryway. What about other places? You know my Illusion has a range limitation. If they manage to find another way around… I think I’d better go with you.”
Just as he was about to step forward, a tall figure blocked his way. Li Yalin raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, “That won’t do…”
“Why?” Old Zheng asked, momentarily stunned.
