Chapter 112: Chapter 112 News of Hot Noodles

Just as Fang Xiaocao was internally panicking, unsure whether to initiate the alarm sequence, a “swoosh” sound, the headlights of the Wuling Hongguang suddenly lit up without warning.

In Fang Xiaocao’s astonished gaze, the Wuling Hongguang instantly started and, at an extremely fast speed, drove away from the parking spot, speeding toward the exit of the underground parking garage.

“There’s been someone in the car the whole time!”

Upon seeing this, Fang Xiaocao exclaimed.

Fang Xiaocao had never imagined that someone would always be in the Wuling Hongguang.

At the same time, Fang Xiaocao also felt secretly relieved.

It was fortunate that she was careful enough, not choosing to turn off the engine and squat in wait like last time, but instead pretending to be on a call, which kept her from getting out of the car.

Otherwise, all her belongings would have been exposed to the hidden person in the Wuling Hongguang.

For Fang Xiaocao, that would have been equivalent to being exposed.

“Phew…”

“That was close, that was close…”

Fang Xiaocao muttered in relief.

After putting down her phone, Fang Xiaocao hesitated for a moment, stepped on the gas, and drove out of the parking spot, chasing after the Wuling Hongguang.

Although she was delayed by a few minutes and figured the Wuling Hongguang must have already disappeared, Fang Xiaocao still wanted to try.

Fang Xiaocao wanted to confirm if the person in the Wuling Hongguang was Tom.

If it wasn’t Tom, she could call the police.

If it was, she didn’t need to call the police.

Though the possibility of it being him was almost zero.

As she passed the Wuling Hongguang’s parking spot, Fang Xiaocao glanced over there.

On the parking spot, there was a pool of liquid.

In the dim light of the underground parking garage, and separated by the privacy film, Fang Xiaocao couldn’t distinguish the color of the liquid.

She also couldn’t determine whether it was blood or not.

But Fang Xiaocao was more inclined to think it was blood.

When renting the car, it had been checked.

There was no possibility of oil or water leakage.

Fang Xiaocao hadn’t put any liquids in the car either.

The liquid on the parking spot couldn’t be anything but blood, she thought.

There must be a dead body in the car!

This was Fang Xiaocao’s first reaction.

“Whose could it be?”

“Tom’s?”

“Or one of those three assassins’?”

Fang Xiaocao mentally calculated.

It was possible for both!

But that amount of bleeding seemed too much.

It probably wasn’t just one person, right?

It must be that Tom had killed one of the assassins, and the remaining assassins had killed him, and the bodies of both were transported in the Wuling Hongguang.

Fang Xiaocao reasoned silently in her mind.

Driving out of the underground parking garage, as expected, the Wuling Hongguang had long since vanished.

With the help of the sunlight outside the underground parking garage, Fang Xiaocao sharply noticed the intermittent, irregular red liquid on the ground.

“It really is blood!”

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.

“If I call the police now and they get caught, I still can’t explain Tom’s identity,”

Fang Xiaocao clutched her phone, her expression contorted as she muttered.

“Sigh…”

“I’ll call the police in a bit…”

Fang Xiaocao sighed and put down her phone.

Letting the assassins drive the Wuling Hongguang a little longer before she reported them would increase their chances of escape.

“Annoying!”

Fang Xiaocao grumbled.

Fang Xiaocao followed the bloodstains on the ground, attempting to trace the Wuling Hongguang’s trail.

After walking a few dozen meters, amid the street cleaning work of the water truck, the blood trail that could have been used for tracking was lost.

“Beautiful!”

Fang Xiaocao sighed.

She parked her car by the roadside, got out, and walked into a snack shop.

Ordering a bowl of ramen casually, Fang Xiaocao ate while picking up her phone and sending a message to Hot Noodles, “Are you there?”

This time, the message was sent successfully!

Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao was overjoyed.

Hot Noodles had finally returned!

For Fang Xiaocao, this was good news.

[Hot Noodles: I’m here!]

Under Fang Xiaocao’s expectant gaze, Hot Noodles quickly replied.

“Phew…”

Receiving the message from Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly typed out a message, fearing that if she were late, Hot Noodles might disappear again.

“What happened at your end?”

“Why was there no warning this time?”

Fang Xiaocao posed her questions.

[Hot Noodles: I was attacked and couldn’t send you a timely warning.]

[Hot Noodles: After escaping the danger, before I could reach out, my thoughts were pulled into a timeline.]

[Hot Noodles: Regarding your performance, I can only say well done, I give you ninety points, keeping the remaining ten because I fear you’ll become arrogant.]

In response to Fang Xiaocao’s questions, Hot Noodles replied, also praising her performance.

The answer from Hot Noodles was almost the same as what Fang Xiaocao had deduced.

Indeed, that person was fighting on two fronts.

Choosing to attack both the current her and the future Hot Noodles.

That’s why Hot Noodles had been missing for so long and hadn’t been able to issue a warning in advance about the crisis.

Seeing the praise from Hot Noodles, the corners of Fang Xiaocao’s mouth lifted in a proud smile.

“How are things now?”

“Can you determine who that person is?”

“Things are a bit off on my side!”

“The suspect list has grown from Zhi Qi to include Su Wanqing.”

“Can you tell which one of them it is?”

Fang Xiaocao didn’t get carried away, but instead used the time to share information with Hot Noodles, asking who the suspect was.

[Hot Noodles: Can’t determine that yet.]

[Hot Noodles: However, I have a discovery here that you should note.]

“What discovery?”

Frowning at the message from Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao asked.

[Hot Noodles: There has always been a member of the Blacklist hidden among us, who infiltrated our group after returning from the mountain.]

[Hot Noodles: I surmise that one of the four—Zhi Qi, Su Wanqing, Wen Shi, Yun Luoshu—had already died in the mountains, and now one among these four is an imposter from the Blacklist.]

Seeing the message from Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao’s face showed a look of horror.

“Are you certain?”

“Is the source reliable?”

Fang Xiaocao asked hastily.

[Hot Noodles: Definite!]

[Hot Noodles: This information came straight from the mouth of a Blacklist member.]

Seeing the message from Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao felt a chill run down her spine.

Someone by her side had died and was silently replaced by someone else.

Yet she had not noticed at all.

“That’s not right!”

“I’ve seen the Blacklist’s Face-changing Technique.”

“They use silicone, and upon close inspection, there are flaws. I didn’t notice any unnatural expressions on any of their faces.”

Frowning, Fang Xiaocao typed and asked.

[Hot Noodles: This time it was Thousand Faces who took action. His Face-changing Technique means literally getting a new face, and he’s quite famed in Jianghu. He once disguised as a corporate chairman, living with his family for a month without detection until he had drained the corporation’s assets and revealed himself.]
