    EBPW Chapter 14.1

    Chapter 14.1 Wen Ren encounters an assassination (1)

    The car ride from Jing City to Feng City took about 6 to 7 hours. Their driver was a member of the operations team who was newly recruited. He was called Liu Chong and he didn’t recognize Wen Renyi.

    Liu Chong’s personality was lively and his driving skills weren’t bad. He chatted with He Zhou and Wen Renyi who sat behind him while driving that even Feng Lan who sat at the passenger’s seat couldn’t do anything about it.

    Doesn’t this brat know the identities of the two people at the back!

    “Brother He, you’re from Jing University right? I’m from the neighboring Science and Engineering University. But I’ve got some friends who are from Jing University too. They’re from the Literature Department so they’re always holding and reciting the Book of Songs that my ear’s about to grow calluses.” 

    “Yup, it’s quite interesting.” He Zhou wasn’t actually too good at conversing, especially when it came to the types that liked talking like Liu Chong. He thought that being a listener would be good enough.

    Liu Chong laughed and said. “Then what about Brother Yi? Are you also a student at Jing University?”

    Wen Renyi recently hadn’t been wearing Western suits, and his hair was only softly laying on his forehead which made him look very young, similar to a university student. It wasn’t weird for Liu Chong to have asked this question..

    “No, I’m already working.”

    They drove up to an abandoned warehouse. It was desolate with overgrown weeds and the dilapidated factory was full of rust and spots.

    He Zhou held Wen Renyi and got off the car. When he raised his head, he detected a suspicion in place. “Ah Yi, take 20 steps back.”

    Feng Lan and Liu Chong both looked back at him. “What happened?”

    He Zhou did a onceover at the entire warehouse and saw Wen Renyi obediently retreating far away before saying. “Captain Feng, Liu Chong, I will be needing your help later on.”

    Feng Lan and Liu Chong naturally didn’t have any objections.

    “There is a cloud barrier array here.” He Zhou said while picking up a branch. In the trap, there were about 8 places where a circle was drawn. He turned around to talk to the two. “These places have something buried within a meter of it. You have to take them out and move them, be very careful with them.”

    “That’s it?” Feng Lan and Liu Chong thought it was too easy and somehow couldn’t believe it.

    “Of course not, you’ll understand when you take them out.”

    The two people did as they were told and took the 8 objects out at the same time, leaving them on the ground. Looking at it, all 8 pieces were mirrors that looked one and the same. Under the scorching sun, they reflected the strong piercing sun rays.

    When the mirror pieces were taken out, the abandoned factory went through a rapid change. Feng Lan raised his head and saw the original bright abandoned factory enshrouded in black clouds, it looked gloomy and frightening with impure intentions.

    He and Liu Chong couldn’t help but step back, arriving by He Zhou’s side. “Young Master He, how did this happen?”

    “What I just dispelled was just the diversionary tactic. This is the real cloud barrier array.” He Zhou’s godly sense probed inside, clouds concealed and haze coiled. However, he still managed to find signs of a living person.


    T/N: I don’t know if any of you watch anime. But I could immediately imagine the scene where He Zhou dispels the array to reveal the true nature of the factory with sfx noises at the back going DUN DUN DUUUUUUNN XD

      This will be a great donghua if it was to be adapted to donghua. I mean, it’s a great story and with Chinese’s progressing donghua it would be a great joyous meat to eat. Like MDZS. Hoping that this at least would get some recognition. Thanks for the hard work~~
