At the same time, at the black market.

  Qin Fang looked at the map that appeared on the computer screen and squinted. There was a red dot on the map which was really eye-catching, but the red dot was not within Jijing Island’s borders.

  Jijing Island was not big. Only the main island was high-tech and sacred land. The Council House, the Elders’ Association, the four big family clans, the Security Bureau, and the various research institutes, all of which had powers, were gathered on the island.

  Movement across the borders of the main island was heavily controlled and the level of confidentiality of intelligence in the Jijing Island was also ridiculously high.

  The other sub-islands were filled with ordinary residents and there were even immigrants from other countries.

  Qin Fang pointed at the red dot. “Old He, do you see that? Base 102 is not on the main island. It is on this sub-island.”


  Most importantly, the sub-island was on the f*cking international trade market!

  Trade market! Just imagine the traffic flow and level of chaos in that area every day!

  “I’ve never even heard of the mysterious Base 102 on Jijing Island before. Why would they build it at such a place?” Missing Gateway felt confused. “This place is even more chaotic than the grocery market.”


  Qin Fang raised his eyebrow. “Do you still go to grocery markets?”


  Missing Gateway straightened his back and answered very confidently, “Before I discovered my talent, I worked as a part-time chef. You didn’t expect that, did you? I’m a really good cook!”


  Qin Fang’s eyes lit up. “Can you cook for us some day?”


  Missing Gateway patted his chest. “You can count on me.”


  He Yidu glanced at the two of them who were even more immature than Gu Si. He looked at them with some contempt.

  He said, “Base 102 must require a lot of materials. By building it here, Jijing Island can ensure normal operation of the base and the transportation of materials will not be noticeable. Besides, this secondary island has a complex topography. It has a wide mountain range and it’s not easy to see. It is also closest to the main island.”


  Qin Fang and Missing Gateway nodded in agreement.

  “But then again,” Qin Fang said, “Shadow League is really interesting this time. They gave us a 20% discount on their latest positioning device that has not even been released!”


  He used his fingers to signal the number 8 excitedly. The price they paid was almost a nine-digit figure. The discount did not matter to He Yidu. As long as Shadow League was willing to sell it, they would purchase it even if the price was exorbitantly high.

  After all, it was the latest version. The social butterfly said that when it is implanted under the skin, no testing equipment would be able to take it out.

  They had tried it out at Red Flame. It was as if the security equipment were faulty. There was no response at all. The positioning was accurate up to within five meters.

  Qin Fang looked back at the screen and the playful look on his face subsided. He narrowed his eyes a little and said, “We finally know where Base 102 is located.”


  He Yidu nodded and looked at Lu Jiu and Lu Shi. “Be well prepared. The moment anything goes wrong, take the guys there.”


  “Got it.” The two of them responded respectfully and turned to leave.

  …


  At the Gu manor.

  “Has Gu Mang entered Base 102?” Old Master Gu was exercising in the garden. Elder Gu stood beside him.

  “Yes,” Elder Gu replied. “The Head Elder has bet all the assets that originally belonged to the Gu family on it. He also increased the level of difficulty of the test by a lot.”


  “He put in so much capital. How could he let Gu Mang pass it? They went through so much before the assets were divided and given to them. Will they be willing to return them?” Old Master Gu laughed. “The Head Elder will never trade at a loss.”


  Elder Gu said, “Then what do we do, Old Master?” Do we just sit back and watch Young Lady get used as a test subject?”


  Huo Zhi had come previously and said that Gu Mang’s arm had not recovered. The assessment might do more harm than good.

  “She is disobedient. If we keep her around, she will just cause us a lot of trouble sooner or later. As long as Gu Xian regains control of Base 102 and trains Gu Si that will be sufficient.” After Old Master Gu finished, he added, “Don’t tell Huo Zhi about this.”


  Huo Zhi had feelings for Gu Mang. He would ruin the plan.

  Elder Gu lowered his head. “Got it.”
