Chapter 405: Restoring the conversation record
Lu Chengzhou’s expression grew sombre. The answer was almost out. The address of their base was probably leaked by Lin Shuang. Gu Si was probably the one who paid the mercenaries using the money he had loaned the little brat.
What were they trying to do?
Lu Chengzhou looked frosty. The moment he spoke up, his voice seemed to freeze the air around his words. “Take them all down and bring the computer.”
Lu Yī glanced at the subordinate beside him. The subordinate came forward and brought the computer over, putting it on the coffee table. Seeing this, Qin Fang also walked over to Lu Chengzhou.
Lu Chengzhou turned on the computer and immediately hacked into Gu Si’s area.
Qin Fang was stunned as he watched. “Brother Cheng, why are you hacking Red Flame?”
Lu Chengzhou said nothing, his fingers typing at great speed as the clicks of the keys filled the living room. Gu Si’s technique was obviously up to standard, but within just a few minutes, Lu Chengzhou restored the communications record.
Lines of green messages appeared on the screen. But they were encrypted.
Lu Chengzhou pursed his lips. Quite cautious of him.
The man’s fingers flitted across the keyboard as he broke the encryption. Complex green code flooded the screen. Three minutes later, the text logs appeared.
Gu Si: [Can you go lower? I only have this much. Give me a 9.20% discount, and I’ll give you Lu Chengzhou’s whereabouts.]
Other party: [You’re the first I’ve met to ask mercenaries for a discount.]
Gu Si: [I have limited funds.]
Other party: […]
Lu Chengzhou was silent.
Qin Fang was shocked when he saw the conversation. “Damn, Brother Cheng, it was someone we knew who sent those killers?!”
He even knew Brother Cheng’s whereabouts. Who could be so ruthless! And he still asked for a discount?! What kind of fiend would do that?!
Lu Chengzhou didn’t answer him. After being on edge for two whole days, he finally relaxed for a moment.
Gu Mang should be alright.
After staring at the conversation record for a long time, he smirked and gave a chuckle. He had already considered the possibility that Gu Si would turn on Red Flame in order to find Gu Mang. In the end, Gu Si asked him for money just to hire mercenaries to kill him.
He Yidu walked over holding the cell phone. “Brother Cheng, apart from us, no one else is looking for Gu Mang.”
Lu Chengzhou instantly returned to his usual indifferent self, and said unhurriedly, “Bring everyone back. There’s no need to look anymore.”
He Yidu looked at him strangely as he didn’t quite understand what he meant. “Withdraw all those at Red Scorpion and Red Flame?”
Lu Chengzhou acknowledged with a hum.
He Yidu and Qin Fang looked at each other. Both of them were a little confused. He asked, “Brother Cheng, do you know where Gu Mang is?”
“I don’t know.”
He Yidu and Qin Fang were quiet.
Lu Chengzhou picked up the cell phone, dialed a number, and spoke in a mild tone, “Someone knows.”
He Yidu and Qin Fang had the same confusion in their eyes. The phone rang for a long time and no one answered.
Lu Chengzhou stopped calling Gu Si. He contacted Lu Jiu directly, and the call was picked up quickly.
“Young Master Lu,” Lu Jiu said respectfully.
Lu Chengzhou leaned back in a relaxed manner,, his eyes half-closed. “Connect me to Gu Si’s communication device.”
Lu Jiu was a little startled. He had expected his master to ask about Gu Mang but instead he asked about her brother.
He answered, “Okay.”
Ms. Gu was missing. His master was probably worried that Young Master Gu might get into an accident, so he probably contacted the surveillance room to check on him. He turned around and instructed the person in charge of the surveillance room to switch to Gu Si’s communication device.
