CHAPTER 547: CHAPTER 547: ANALYZING THE CAUSE

"What could they be looking for? Moreover, we’ve already taken everything we should have and the people they wanted to take have been taken away. So, staying here now seems meaningless, right?"

"No, I’ve just thought of someone."

At that moment, the second-in-command of the Scorpion Gang, who had previously clashed with Ye Chen, suddenly said this.

Then, Yang Da stopped and quickly walked up to him.

"Speak, what are you thinking?"

"At that time, I heard you say that place had already been completely taken over by them, so, if that’s the case, could it be that those people never left when we went back?"

"What? They didn’t leave? Impossible."

"Think about it carefully, why did they delay us and trap us on the road? Wasn’t it to protect certain people?"

That seemed to remind Yang Da suddenly.

He was only watching the current developments, but he had completely forgotten about what had happened before.

If he now considered everything based on this statement, Yang Da felt there was probably more to it.

"They secretly sent people out then, blocking the movement of two of our teams and leaving only one. That means he didn’t want all of us gathered together because if all the Scorpion members were together, the combat power could be immense."

"Think again, if they had all evacuated from that base, then the base would have no value left for them. No matter how many of us go there, what could we do? It seems there is no fundamental connection, right?"

"If you put it that way, it really is the case. I indeed overlooked this point earlier. In that case, the reason he blocked your path was because there was someone very important still in the base, so he didn’t want you to enter and threaten that person’s safety."

"Exactly, that’s what I thought."

"And, I’ve also guessed, this person is most likely Ye Chen."

"Yes, Ye Chen is the only one valuable to Guo Tao’s side as of now. So, whatever they do, they must keep Ye Chen safe, as that means preserving their power."

"But what is Ye Chen doing in there? If that’s the case, he might have been the vanguard to enter the base, then after investigating the situation here, he would convey the information out, right?"

"The first time I fought him, he was looking for our entrance position because it’s likely that Guo Tao had already instructed him to find this underground hospital, where exactly it is located. Now, all of us have come out in full force, so this place is like an empty city."

"After getting the information, they then hurriedly arranged for Ye Chen to come here first, and unexpectedly, we didn’t know what method he used to be able to find this place?"

"Right, that’s the idea, and the reason why our three teams failed in today’s operation is that before, we managed to track the U12 members because he sent us a false signal. When we acted, everything was already under their control."

"While we were acting, they arranged for their people to hide simultaneously, leading all of our people to jump into an empty trap, and now, it gives Ye Chen the greatest opportunity."

"But now all the dots are connected, just one thing we still don’t understand, why didn’t Ye Chen leave after successfully completing the task? What value does he have staying there?"

"Wait, if Ye Chen wanted to get in, where do you think he would enter from? Our main entrance, he shouldn’t be able to find it, right?"

"If he really entered from that place, then according to our capability, we should be able to find those records, at least the alarm system should have functioned, but we didn’t receive any news at all."

"That means Ye Chen didn’t go in from that place, then besides this place, could there be other entrances or exits?"

"There really is one, an emergency exit left over from the construction of this underground project, which has never been really opened in all these years."

"Emergency exit? Where is it located?"

"It’s outside that factory, there is a huge garbage pit, and at the top of the garbage pit, if you dig down, you can find that emergency exit."

"There’s such a place? I didn’t know about it before."

"Every underground project is required to have such a facility, and we only use it to retreat from there if absolutely necessary, so it has been well concealed over the years, usually, it’s impossible for someone to find."

"Then why did he find such a hidden exit now?"

"That is a question we need to discuss later, but now, we need to analyze why he chose to stay instead of leaving."

"From the entrance and exit, where should it be?"

"Wait, let me look at the map."

As he spoke, the member of the Scorpion Gang took out his phone, closely examined it, and finally found the floor plan.

After opening the drawing, he looked at it carefully and seemed to gradually understand.

After all, it had been so many years since the construction, so he couldn’t remember exactly where it led. After looking at this address, he finally understood everything.

"It should be from the direction of the morgue, then through the lobby, and by avoiding these surveillance cameras, one can enter our underground level."
