Chapter 251: Cool
Under the night, inside an inconspicuous black car, there was a small burst of flame. It revealed a scarred face. The facial features were sharp, especially the pair of eyes that was hidden in the dark. The middle-aged man lit up a match to light the cigarette on his lips.
After taking a deep drag of the smoke, the middle-aged man threw away the extinguished match. The crackling of the cigarette was amplified in the dark and small space. He leaned on the chair. He was alone in the car. An old black-and-white phone was placed before him.
The middle-aged man took out a phone card from his side pocket and plugged it into the phone. After he switched on the phone, he had to wait for it to activate. He clicked into the contact list. There was only one recorded number. The number sat there waiting... like an elder who had lost his ability to move.
He took a deep breath and called the number. After waiting for a while, the call was connected.
“He said yes.” Before the other party could say anything, the middle-aged man said, “I’ve contacted the people inside. I believe with them there, Miss will be fine.”
Heavy breathing came from the other side. The middle-aged man frowned. He could sense the coldness from his breathing. “It has been a while... since the appearance of such a person.” Finally, someone spoke. However, the voice was unusually cool. It was mixed with static. It sounded more like a digitally-doctored voice. It was even, chill and had no emotions.
“Yes.” The middle-aged man answered respectfully, “Based on the news we had, Deep Red is deeply interested in him. They have tried to approach him in the nightmare.” He paused, “More than once.
“But, please don’t worry. This time, we are very well-prepared. Miss...”
“Gong Zhe,” The other party suddenly said. The middle-aged man paused. He subconsciously sat up straight, like a general facing his emperor. The muscles of his upper body bulged, filling up the suit. He was far more powerful than Jiang Cheng thought.
“Keep an eye on this man.” The voice continued, “No matter the price, do not let him be corrupted by Deep Red. If necessary...” Several seconds later, the robotic voice showed emotions when he said, “You can give up Meng Meng.”
Gong Zhe’s pupils trembled. He opened his mouth to say something, but he was not given the chance.
“We are running out of time,” The voice sighed, “We cannot suffer... such a loss.”
...
“Doctor,” Fatty stretched his neck to stare at Jiang Cheng, “Eat slowly. No one is going to fight you for the food.”
Jiang Cheng was about to enter the nightmare again, and he would face the unknown Deep Red. Fatty cooked each meal like it was the last for the Doctor. Fatty didn’t skimp on the Doctor’s ‘last meals’.
The Doctor didn’t stand on ceremony. He snapped off a leg from the crab and threw it to Fatty.
“Doctor,” Fatty picked up the crab leg with embarrassment. He held it but didn’t eat it. “You should eat first. I... I will eat later.”
Jiang Cheng looked up. With a prawn in his mouth, he mumbled, “Who said that was for you?”
Fatty was startled as he looked at the crab leg.
“Help me peel off the shell.” Jiang Cheng ordered, “So I can eat faster.”
Fatty, “...”
After that, Fatty cleaned up the kitchen. He didn’t have the mood to clean up the messy office.
After all, it was unknown if the owner would return alive or not.
“Doctor,” Fatty swirled the cup in his hand and asked, “Has that man contacted you?”
