Chapter 160: The Ark True Identity (1)
Yao Ran wanted to send Long Yu out, but he stopped her and said, "You stay. It's cold outside."
Seeing her nodding obediently, Long Yu couldn't help but reach out and gently caress her cheek. He smiled and softly said, "See you later, Ran Ran."
Yao Ran was stunned and could only watch Long Yu close the door. Hearing the sound of the metal door closing outside, she patted her blushing cheek and muttered, "He is really dangerous."
After calming down, Yao Ran took out the small safe she found in her grandfather's safety room at Haicheng Bank. She remembered that the day before Lan Guanghui killed her grandfather, her grandfather told her six numbers when she went to visit him.
She thought for a moment, opened the lock, and then entered six numbers.
Beep!
The lock was unlocked the next second, and Yao Ran opened the safe. Seeing a stack of documents inside, she took one out and flipped through it carefully.
An hour later, Yao Ran finished reading the last document. Instead of putting the documents back in the safe, she put on her coat, returned the safe to the warehouse, turned off the heaters, and left the apartment with the documents.
Standing in front of unit 2002, she knocked on the metal door. A few seconds later, Long Yu opened the door.
Yao Ran looked at him and said, "I want to show you something."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Long Yu saw the documents in her arms, stepped aside, and said, "Let's talk inside."
After Yao Ran walked in, Long Yu locked the door and took her to his bedroom. He went to pour her a cup of hot water, and she sat on the floor covered with soft and thick carpets.
When Long Yu sat down in front of her and put the cup of water on the carpeted floor, Yao Ran put the file in front of them and said, "I think you might want to see this."
Long Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, then took the document on the top.
While Long Yu was reading the documents, Yao Ran drank hot water to warm up her body. He reads all the information very quickly and finishes in no time.
Putting down the last document, he looked at Yao Ran and asked, "What are you going to do now?"
Yao Ran sighed, "I didn't know that The Ark was actually part of Yao Security Company before. I want to know what caused them to separate. If we can find those who caused the trouble, maybe we can stop them before they create The Ark."
After hearing what she said, Long Yu fell into deep thought. He and his teammates were killed in their last mission in his previous life.
At that time, Shi Xuan told him that the information given by the base was fishy. But without any evidence, they had no choice but to accept the mission.
Unfortunately, that was their last mission, and they didn't have the chance to investigate what happened in the laboratory. They couldn't even find the people who worked for The Ark. 'What did The Ark want from secretly conducting human experiments?'
Looking at the name list now, Long Yu found that most of them worked in the government and the military, and some even held important positions on official and private bases. Based on this name list alone, he could imagine how influential and powerful The Ark was across the country.
If they wanted to destroy The Ark, they would need at least as much power and influence as The Ark has, if not more.
Seeing that he was deep in thought, Yao Ran did not disturb him.
Long Yu came back from his thoughts, took out the name list from a pile of documents, and said, "I know most of the people on this list."
Yao Ran was surprised when she heard this. She frowned and asked, "What did you do before? How do you know these people?"
Long Yu looked at her and replied, "I am the captain of the special team at Juncheng First Military Base. Shi Xuan, Jia Xiang, and Huang Qian are my subordinates."
"Did you retire because you knew some people in the military were related to The Ark?" Yao Ran asked again.
Long Yu shook his head, "It's not just that. When I was investigating your death and The Ark, my team was suddenly sent to Fengcheng City for an S-rank mission. I suspect some people didn't want me to investigate anything concerning the underground laboratory and The Ark." "At that time, Fengcheng City had become a paradise for mutants. Anyone who went there would never come back. After receiving the order, Shi Xuan told me that the mission information was suspicious. However, we lacked evidence, so we could only accept the mission and go to Fengcheng City."
"When we get there, we should meet with two more teams from Haicheng City and Yucheng City. But after waiting for three days, what came to us was not the support teams, but a group of superpower users."
"We fought all day, but we were outnumbered. Before I died, I overheard their conversation. It turned out that it was the higher-ups in Shoudu City who wanted us dead, so they hired those superpower users to kill us and covered it up as a failure in the mission."
Seeing Yao Ran looking at him with sad eyes, Long Yu reached out to hold her hand and said, "It was two years after your death. If I hadn't wanted to avenge you, I would have long died with you when I found out about your death."
He lowered his eyes, tightened his fingers around Yao Ran's hand, and softly said, "Ran Ran, you must survive this time. If you want to die, can you die after me? I don't think I can live in a world without you."
Yao Ran was stunned by his sudden confession. When she came to her senses, she shook her head and said, "We will survive and die when we grow old."
