The former site of Hongyu Bar in the old town of Qidao City.
Wearing raincoats, Minyuan and Alitanova walked silently on the stairs leading to the underground bar. The rainwater that shook off left a black trail behind them like a long winding snake.
Late at night during the storm, the lights were on in the long-closed underground bar. Several young people gathered near the bar, casting wary glances at Min Yuan and Alitanova as they opened the door.
It wasn't until the two of them took off their raincoat hoods to reveal their faces that the expressions of those people returned to normal.
"I'm going to call Brother Taiyi." A young man who was wiping glasses behind the bar stopped what he was doing and walked quickly towards the manager's office.
Soon, Cheng Tae Yi, dressed in a black suit, came to Min Yuan and the two.
"Where is the high-ranking priest?" His cold gaze swept across the faces of Min Yuan and Alitanova, his tone slightly displeased.
Min Yuan and Alitanova looked at each other and said that they were only informed to gather here and did not act with the high-ranking priests.
"Really, what do the high-ranking priests think?" Cheng Taiyi couldn't help but complain, "Before, he hurriedly informed us that we were ready to pick up people near the hospital, but now he suddenly said that the plan was cancelled, and we were asked to pick him up.
The car we finally got was disposed of..."
"Kasim and I spent a lot of effort for that car." The young man wearing a black eyepatch on his left eye lit a cigarette and shrugged in agreement.
Min Yuan replied in a calm tone: "We don't need to question the decision of the high-ranking priest. She is not someone who changes orders every day, and will not cancel the planned plan for no reason. Since she is preventing you from taking action, she must have obtained some important information through her own identity.
"
Alitanova glanced disdainfully at the young people who gathered behind Cheng Taiyi with obviously dissatisfied expressions: "Why, just after you have got rid of the threat of the D.D. Brotherhood, you guys are getting carried away? Don't forget that it's
Who helped you sneak here?"
Most of the young people behind Cheng Taiyi were not Adventist believers from Ark. Many of them simply engaged in a series of violent activities just to follow the "big brother" in their minds. Naturally, they had nothing to say about the Adventist sect itself and the high-level priests.
How much respect.
Especially after learning that the high-ranking priest of the sect who stayed in Fuxing City was just a yellow-haired girl who wanted money but no money and no one, these desperate young men who were accustomed to the underworld and claimed to lick blood with the tip of a knife were even more dissatisfied with Jian Yiran's command.
Faced with Alitanova's reprimand, most people showed disdain or even sneered.
Cheng Taiyi raised his hand to stop the commotion among his men. Although he was the first to verbally express his dissatisfaction with the high-ranking priest, at this time he chose to stand on Jian Yiran's side and defend her out of overall considerations.
"That's enough, keep quiet. Zuo Yin and Qasim, go up and take a look. If the high priest comes, welcome her in."
The young man wearing an eye patch responded with a reluctant expression on his face, and nudged his partner Kasim with his elbow.
The two of them walked past Alitanova with sullen expressions on their faces, and Zuo Yin even stuck out his tongue at her.
Alitanova raised her eyebrows and was about to rebel, but Min Yuan pulled her arm to stop her.
"A small impatience will ruin a big plan. You are willing to speak for Xiao Jian in front of these people, why can't you bear this?" Min Yuan said softly.
"If you say so, little Jane is much cuter than these bastards. A bunch of homeless dogs are still showing off here..." Alitanova remained as mean as ever.
Zuo Yin and Qasim opened the door of the bar, and suddenly saw a wet cat jumping in from outside. They were both startled.
The few young people who stayed next to Cheng Taiyi stood up one after another as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and for a while the chairs collided with each other in a messy manner.
Alitanova said "haha", she recognized that it was Jian Yiran's cat, and already guessed what would happen next.
I saw the cat jumping up to the bar in one step, shaking its body to dry its hair, and then walking gracefully around the bar.
"Good evening everyone from the Nightcrawler Group." A deep female voice sounded from the bar.
Kasim, who was standing at the door, slapped himself and asked Zuo Yin in disbelief: "Did that cat talk?"
"It's either a small communicator or a superpower. There's nothing surprising about it." Zuo Yin said, "Is this cat a messenger sent by a high-ranking priest? It seems like she really likes to play tricks on people."
"I have no interest in teasing you." The civet cat sat down on the bar counter with its front legs straight upright. "I think this low-level taste is boring."
Cheng Taiyi walked up to the cat doubtfully, leaned forward and asked, "Are you a high-level priest?"
"I am."
"That's not the true body." Alitanova sneered and explained to everyone, "Manipulating animals is part of the abilities of high-level priests."
Cheng Taiyi responded expressionlessly: "I know that one of our brothers has the power to transform into a bat. That night he fell under the chase of a kestrel."
As soon as these words came out, Zuo Yin, Qasim and others all showed angry expressions on their faces.
The civet cat on the bar said calmly: "I did kill such a person. According to the canon, all of you should be eliminated that night, but now that we are employing people, I decided to make an exception."
"If you want us to obey your command, we must at least produce some results." Zuo Yin shouted, "We can still survive without the Adventist Sect, but you are just a mere commander without us."
"What did you say?" Alitanova said angrily, "Aren't Min Yuan and I considered human beings?"
"Zuo Yin, be quiet." "Rita, don't talk yet."
Jian Yiran and Cheng Taiyi both expressed their opinions and stopped their meaningless internal quarrel.
Cheng Taiyi had absolute control over his men. As soon as he stopped Zuo Yin, the others immediately stopped arguing.
Alitanova originally didn't obey Jian Yiran very much, but at this time she knew very well that she had to stand by Jian Yiran, so she shut up and stopped starting the fight.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I am here to explain to you the reasons for canceling tonight's operation and what we need to do in the future." Jane still conveyed to everyone through the mouth of the civet cat.
Make your own decision.
"Since I have already obtained the key things from Yu Qingxue, I temporarily decided to cancel the plan to take her away. Of course, doing so will lead to another plan - that is, the plan to obtain city hall funds through Yu Qingxue will also follow.
It’s invalid.”
Cheng Taiyi and his younger brothers clearly expressed disappointment and dissatisfaction after hearing these words.
The financial problem they had so much expected to be solved has now become a dark cloud hanging over their heads.
"What is the key thing you got from Yu Qingxue?" Cheng Taiyi thought that Jian Yiran's statement just now was a bit vague. He was curious about what Jian Yiran got that made her decide to change her plan at the last minute.
"What I got was a secret that was enough to shake the foundation of the Iron Dome order." Jane still did not answer directly, "But as a price, Yu Qingxue lost the possibility of becoming our helper. Forgive me that I can't explain too much for the time being, but
I can tell you with certainty that our chances of rescuing Master Lu Hong are now even greater."
Min Yuan and Alitanova's eyes lit up. This news made them excited. After all, their biggest goal now is to rescue Lu Hong.
"How to prepare the funds necessary for the expedition to rescue Reverend Lu Hong?" Cheng Taiyi asked.
"I have my own way, please don't worry. The most important thing right now is to destroy the car you are going to use to pick up Yu Qingxue. My request is to completely erase the traces." Jane still ordered, "Don't be petty.
