48 Hours a Day - Chapter 1340
Chapter 1340: Phoenix Butterfly
Zhang Heng wasn’t in a hurry to leave.
“Actually, there’s another possibility.”
“What possibility?”
“The oil painting and the attack were done too deliberately. It’s almost as if they were trying to make people think of the new God,”Zhang Heng said.
“If it’s not the new God, who else would target sage…”Miss Succubus was halfway through her sentence when she realized something, “The mysterious organization that attacked me earlier? Could it be them again? Does that mean they really want to harm sage?”
“There’s a way to find out soon.”Zhang Heng took one last look at the oil painting on the screen. “Let’s leave this place first.”
“HMM?”Even though she was confused, Miss Succubus still followed Zhang Heng out of the door of the company. They took the elevator downstairs. Zhang Heng started the car and circled the street, they went back to a shopping mall not far from their original location.
From there, they could see the main and side doors of the office building where Miss Succubus was.
Sitting in the car, the two finally had time to return to the previous question. Zhang Heng asked Miss Succubus, “Do you know why Thor suddenly attacked the organizing committee’s Prison and rescued Seth?”
“I’ve heard a lot of rumors about this…”
Zhang Heng didn’t ask Miss Succubus what the rumors were, but he directly revealed the answer. “His wife is missing, and Seth seems to know her whereabouts.”
“So Thor rescued Seth because he wanted Seth to bring him to his wife? That’s why there was a series of conflicts between the new God and the old God?”
“That’s right,”Zhang Heng said, “I smell a familiar scent from this incident. Cupid and Sifu, like Thor and Sifu, are both powerful husbands, paired with a wife who doesn’t have much of a presence.”
“Are you saying that someone is trying to kidnap Sifu to blackmail Cupid?”
“Yes, and their plan is obviously more complete this time. From the start, they’ve already planned to draw Cupid’s anger toward the new God. “This is also the reason why I brought you here to keep an eye on him. According to you, Fawceji is very timid. She was frightened and realized that the other party already knows where her office is. They definitely want to find a safer place to wait for their husband to return.”
Miss Succubus’s face didn’t look too good. Zhang Heng’s words reminded her of the danger she had encountered previously, as well as the missing member of her race, “By the way, what are these guys trying to do? What good does it do them to stir up the enmity between the old God and the new God?”
Miss Succubus was confused by this question, but Zhang Heng remained silent even though he had guessed something.
At that moment, a figure wearing a cap and a mask walked out from the side door of the office building with his head lowered.
“It’s sage. She really came out just like you said.”Miss Succubus, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, put the other thoughts to the back of her mind.
Sage, who had disguised herself, obviously didn’t know that she had been discovered the moment she showed up. She even pretended to be a white-collar worker in the office building and wore a tourist company badge around her neck, after that, she pretended to walk out of the street calmly before reaching out to hail a taxi.
Seeing Saji get into the taxi, Miss Succubus became nervous and asked, “Aren’t we going to follow her?”
“There’s no rush. We’ll be discovered if we follow her too closely.”Zhang Heng didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all.
“Given Saji’s alertness, even if we follow her closely, she won’t be able to notice us.”Miss Succubus couldn’t understand a certain someone’s caution.
“I’m not talking about her.”
Not long after Zhang Heng finished his sentence, a van from a moving company suddenly started moving and caught up with the taxi in front. Zhang Heng became calmer when he saw this. He waited until the taxi had completely disappeared from his sight. The van also drove for about 400 meters before starting up again. However, it caught up with the van directly.
With Zhang Heng’s driving skills, it was almost impossible for the van in front to realize that he was being followed. Furthermore, their attention was completely focused on the taxi in front of them, they were afraid that they would lose him, so they had no idea what was going on behind them.
Even though sage appeared to be somewhat ignorant, she wasn’t stupid enough to take a taxi home. After all, her office had already been exposed, so it was only natural that her apartment would be in danger, therefore, after Sage left the company, she went to a park in the western suburbs. Probably because it was quite far from the city, and it was a weekday, there weren’t many people in the park.
Sage took out a hundred-yuan note from her wallet and handed it to the driver. “Keep the change.”After saying that, she hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car. After buying the ticket, she walked into the park.
At first, she just walked quickly, but later, she simply trotted along the rocky ground of the park all the way to the rose garden. At this time, the Roses were in full bloom, it attracted a lot of bees and butterflies to dance around the flowers.
Sage looked around and saw that there was no one nearby, so she took off her shoes and wanted to walk into the flowers. However, after thinking for a while, she threw her shoes into the trash can beside her. In addition, there were her clothes and her bag, she threw them in as well. After doing all this, she lifted her feet and walked into the flowers.
After a moment, there was only a ring and two earrings left in the flowers. At the same time, a beautiful butterfly landed on a rose. However, before the butterfly could have a good rest.., in the next moment, an insect net suddenly fell from above its head and covered it.
Then, a man put the butterfly that was covered in the net into a glass bottle that he had prepared beforehand. When his companion saw this scene, he couldn’t help but laugh, “What is this, walking into a trap? Although we knew that this mission was simple before we left, we didn’t expect it to be so simple that we didn’t even need to do anything.”
“Alright, don’t Be Careless,”the man holding the bottle said with a frown, “We’ve already lost a lot of people. It’s one thing to deal with Thor’s two teams, but even the one we sent to deal with a succubus has gone missing. We still need to be on high alert against these supernatural creatures, or we’ll be the ones to fail next time.”
His words were quite useful. The other three people gradually put away the smiles on their faces. However, the next moment, they were stunned because they didn’t know when.., a figure blocked the path in front of them.
Just like the group of people that Zhang Heng had met before, the four people in front of them were all foreigners. There were three Europeans and one Asian. The four of them were surprised to see Zhang Heng. One of them reacted quickly and pretended to be dumb in English, he asked Zhang Heng how to get to the west gate of Zhang Heng Park.
Zhang Heng ignored the person and only looked at the bottle in their hands. Then, he said calmly, “Don’t you know that you can’t randomly catch butterflies in the park?”
