Chapter 317: Exceeding Expectations
"Can't compare to the Special Defense Department." Xu Huo fastened the last button on his jacket. "I heard you've made some new friends. Congratulations."
Team Leader Song and Dai Wenqian behind him simultaneously fixed their gazes on him.
"Xu Huo, how could you know about this? Did you hear it?" Compared to the wariness of Song and Dai, Team Leader Wu was more concerned about Xu Huo's secondary evolution. "Can brain evolution achieve this effect?"
Indeed, someone from the Players Association had come to negotiate with them five minutes ago, but this happened on the first floor.
"I'm not clairvoyant or possessing super hearing. How could I hear it?" Xu Huo said. "I heard from Yuan Yao that the Players Association people didn't kill a single Special Defense Department member. That's enough to show their sincerity."
Yuan Yao quickly added, "Right, right! And you guys even captured people from the Players Association."
"This is the price for disrupting the Special Defense Department's operation." Team Leader Song said with a grim face. "Coming to play games with the Special Defense Department to save their own companions, I will absolutely not tolerate such players!"
"No need for indirect accusations," Xu Huo continued. "I'm heading back to Ting City now. Team Leader Wu, can I catch a ride?"
"Of course, no problem." Team Leader Wu glanced at Team Leader Song. "But Team Leader Song has something to say to you."
Team Leader Song pulled a chair over and sat facing Xu Huo for a talk. The general idea was that this big trouble was caused by him. The Special Defense Department had lost quite a few people, and several players had died. Cleaning up after him was fine, but Xu Huo also needed to show some sincerity. "Was our sincerity not enough?" Yuan Yao squatted nearby. "Who do you think reported that Iron Triangle? It was all done because my Brother Xu told me to. He was colluding with foreigners. If you follow the leads, you might uproot something big. Isn't that credit enough?"
Team Leader Song was stunned. At this moment, Dai Wenqian asked, "Weren't you gone with the people from the hospital? Xu Huo was still unconscious at the time."
Yuan Yao, brimming with confidence, wore an expression that said 'none of your business'. "Just know we did it. Why ask so many questions?"
Team Leader Song was half-convinced, half-doubting. "I'll verify this matter later. If it's true, I'll consider it a merit for you."
After saying this, he stood up and left the room. Dai Wenqian trailed behind. As he rested his hand on the half-open door, he turned his head back.
He was different from Team Leader Song. Because he had indeed seen Xu Huo's figure outside, he didn't doubt the truth of these words. But he doubted Xu Huo's intentions.
He had taken Zheng Ke and the others to chase after someone, running in circles for a while before realizing the other party was just toying with him. But when he returned to the hospital, he found out Wang Ya and the others were all dead. Although the Special Defense Department's investigation concluded it was the triangle mask group who killed them, and Huang Junjie, who just came to talk, said it was the Players Association who took out those people... the story was patched up, but he couldn't believe Xu Huo had no hand in it!
Connecting with the Players Association, teaming up with them to kill the Iron Triangle and others, then deliberately luring him away to kill his people—not only cutting off his wings but also letting the Players Association initiate talks with the Special Defense Department, causing him to lose a great opportunity. Xu Huo was deliberately targeting him!
Originally, he wanted to give him a warning. However, when he looked at Xu Huo, the other party was also looking at him.
Their eyes met. The hairs on Dai Wenqian's body instantly stood on end. Almost a conditioned reflex, he took a step back and closed the door.
"Bang!" The door slammed shut with a loud sound. Team Leader Wu's eyelids twitched. "Utterly disgraceful!"
"Team Leader Wu," Xu Huo withdrew his gaze, "I'll exchange something else for those two syringes from the Special Defense Department."
