Chapter 235: The Development of the Situation, Getting Deeper and Deeper!

He called Elder Liang directly this time because Qi Yuqiang was still unconscious.
When he arrived at the address Elder Liang provided, it was already afternoon.
This was an office building in the downtown area, spanning over 30 floors.
Elder Liang and the others were on the middle floor, occupying only half of it; the other half was normal rental space.
To reach their floor, one had to take a special staircase, keeping a low profile.
Sometimes the most dangerous places turned out to be the safest.
Unit 36’s office expressed such a meaning.
Led by a young woman, Li Yidao met Elder Liang, who was guarding here.
Seeing Elder Liang and Qi Yuqiang inside the room with another person, Li Yidao involuntarily gained a new understanding of this old man.
Being able to personally guard here was enough to prove many things.
“You’re here, take a seat.” Elder Liang didn’t urge Li Yidao to treat Qi Yuqiang immediately but gestured for him to sit down.
Nodding slightly, Li Yidao didn’t hesitate.
“I had someone investigate the organization you mentioned on the phone just now. However, we have limited information here, only finding a suspicious organization. This organization, to be honest, is related to our country, but not directly. They have no connection with Unit 36, our background organization, or even the entire country’s organization.” “They belong to a ‘new mysterious’ category.”
New mysterious?
Li Yidao furrowed his brows.
It was the first time he had heard this term, and it sounded quite novel.
Elder Liang seemed to know that Li Yidao had probably never heard this name before, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Yes, that’s right. ‘New Mysterious’ represents a batch of newly emerging forces.’
“But… these forces and organizations are not entirely without any connections and resources. It can be said that their heritage is very profound! Their influence may far exceed the organizations on the surface.”
“It’s just that they keep a low profile, only recently coming into everyone’s view. So they’re called the new mysterious organization.”
Hearing Elder Liang’s explanation, Li Yidao nodded.
In simple terms, these organizations were previously unknown big shots hiding in some corners.
Now that everyone knew about them, it wasn’t Li Yidao’s concern.
He cared about whether the other party would make a move against them in the short term!
If not, Li Yidao didn’t plan to actively seek trouble with them.
It surely wasn’t that simple, and he wasn’t foolish.
Everything could be discussed after the old man recovered.
However, if the other party had already been planning or preparing to take action against Li Yidao and the others at that time, then Li Yidao would have definitely found a way to take the initiative.
Knowing that his most recently acquired skill could refresh within 24 hours, if he had learned about the situation of the other party, he could have secretly used the skill several times.
This effect must have been maximized and could have definitely caused fatal damage to the other party.
However, all of this would have required a plan; otherwise, it would have been interesting to be detected and counter-killed by the other party before taking any action.
“In addition, what you asked us to investigate, we hadn’t found specific information at the moment,” Elder Liang explained.
“But these two people, our people had noticed something unusual about them. They appeared frequently around Elder Fu’s residence, and they also possessed special abilities. And most importantly, a colleague of ours felt a strong murderous aura from them.’
“So, the other party was likely preparing as spies. But don’t worry, I had already applied to the organization, and two elders would have come soon. They would have personally stayed around Elder Fu’s residence.”
When Elder Liang said this, Li Yidao had looked deeply at the other party.
He chuckled, thinking that the other party had really gone all out.
He still didn’t know what kind of identity the old man had.
The deeper he had walked into this unknown field, the more shocked he had felt about the old man’s situation.
As for the other party’s power, Li Yidao had been quite puzzled.
At least at that time, he hadn’t seen the true strength of the old man.
As for Elder Liang saying all this in front of him then, in essence, it had been waiting for Li Yidao’s attitude.
In the current situation, if they had wanted to arrange people around the old man’s residence, without Li Yidao’s consent, they couldn’t have done it. As for the old man’s situation when he wasn’t injured, they shouldn’t have even thought about it.
The reason they had had this idea then was precisely because the old man was injured, giving them an opportunity to curry favor.
But this opportunity also required someone’s endorsement, such as Li Yidao. They would only dare to do it if some gave them authority
However, even though Li Yidao understood all of this, to ensure the safety of the old man, he nodded in agreement.
Since it had been confirmed that someone was monitoring them, it indicated that the other party would take action.
In this case, Li Yidao needed to act discreetly in the shadows.
As for whether the other party would play tricks, judging from their attitude toward the old man, it was absolutely unlikely.
“I’ll take these two sets of information. If there are any new developments, have Qi Yuqiang call me,” Li Yidao said as he stood up.
The last sentence, asking Qi Yuqiang to call him, made Elder Liang smile faintly.
He knew that regardless of whether there would be deeper cooperation between Li Yidao and Unit 36, at least for now, some friction and misunderstandings between the two sides had been eliminated.
Because, in Li Yidao’s view, Unit 36 now had at least one person he could communicate with.
After standing up, Li Yidao walked straight into the inner room.
After using the Hand of God on Qi Yuqiang and the man in white, he turned and walked out. The speed was fast, but the effect was evident.
The status of the monitoring devices on the two individuals had started to change.
“The rest can be treated according to the hospital’s regular procedures. They should wake up soon.”
“Alright, I’ll thank you on their behalf.”
Li Yidao gently shook his head, said nothing, and left.
A “thank you” was a trivial matter.
The storm was coming!
He could feel the burden on his shoulders getting heavier.
As his strength increased, the crises he needed to face became heavier.
Did it mean that the stronger one became, the greater the responsibility?
Back at the funeral shop, Li Yidao felt the emptiness in the quiet shop.
For a moment, he felt a bit uncomfortable.
In the past, he had the constant care of Li Yinuo, that little girl.
During the time when the little girl left, he felt the most lonely.
After all, in this world, only that little girl was the person he felt closest to.
Later, due to the attention, the arrival of Li Xinting and Sister Zhou also alleviated the loneliness.
Even though it was impossible to be like the little girl, at least there was some liveliness.
But now, Li Yidao had foreseen the future. With the development of events, life would never be so easy again.
Sitting on his recliner, he squinted his eyes, feeling the chaotic fillings in his brain. There was a feeling of not knowing what to say.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Yidao slowly entered into a dreamless sleep. When he woke up again, it was already past eight in the evening.
Checking the time, Li Yidao logged into the platform, opened the live stream.
Since he was about to do something, it was better to accumulate some lifespan first.
With resources in hand, he wouldn’t panic in the face of battles..
