Chapter 24: A Style passed Down in the same vein

"Hello? Is the mission finished?" Liang Tianyu suppressed his excitement and asked in a deep voice after answering the phone.

"Yeah," came Chen Nan's reply from the other end of the phone.

Liang Tianyu was taken aback, feeling that Chen Nan's voice sounded strange, as if... weak?

"What's wrong?" Liang Tianyu immediately asked, "Was the mission successful?"

"We encountered a little trouble halfway through, and I got injured. But fortunately, the target has been captured," Chen Nan's voice sounded weak, as if he had suffered serious injuries, "You should leave your current location immediately, find a new meeting point. We made some noise during the operation, and it seems like we caught the attention of Ms. Ren, the vice president. I'm afraid she might come looking for you and cause more trouble..."

Ms. Ren was the person who had always had conflicts with Liang Tianyu.

Upon hearing this, Liang Tianyu frowned and cursed irritably, "Damn it! How can you be so careless in carrying out the mission? It's troublesome to be targeted by that bitch!"

Chen Nan remained silent for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry."

"Forget it, take the target to Warehouse 78. I'll be there soon!" Liang Tianyu decided to use Warehouse 78 as a secret base, as it was located in a secluded area and was less likely to be noticed.

He left his current location to avoid being tracked by Ms. Ren.

After finishing the call, Chen Nan directly hung up.

Liang Tianyu seemed a little displeased, "He's gotten so bold that he dares to hang up on me now... Once I'm in the headquarters, I'll replace him!"

Muttering to himself, Liang Tianyu put on sunglasses and a mask, then grabbed his car keys and walked out.

......

"Han Han, brother will be back soon... By the way, did you encounter any bad people at home?" Inside the Mercedes SUV, Li Tianran held the steering wheel and used the car's hands-free system to talk to Han Han.

Chen Nan had already made the call to deceive Liang Tianyu and lure him out.

Attacking Liang Tianyu in the luxury villa area where he lived would be too dangerous. After weighing the pros and cons, Li Tianran decided to use a different approach and draw the snake out of its hole.

The plan went smoothly, and Liang Tianyu didn't seem to suspect anything.

However, just to be safe, Li Tianran dragged Chen Nan, who was barely alive, into the car to prevent any further inquiries from Liang Tianyu during the journey.

As for the other people, Li Tianran had already dealt with them. In the current situation, many people died every day, and even if their bodies were left in the wilderness, it wouldn't cause much attention.

Still, Li Tianran threw their bodies into a dried-up ditch, cut the fuel line of one of their cars, and set it on fire, destroying any evidence of their presence.

Since the beginning of the Destruction Era, Li Tianran found that not only had his physical abilities improved significantly, but he had also become more adept at covering up his tracks.

Perhaps, as he had said before, he would become a demon!

"Han Han, there's nothing to worry about. Just play at home. By the way, did you encounter any bad people?" Li Tianran's tender voice echoed in the phone.

"Hmm! There were no bad people." Han Han's voice was sweet and milky, "Han Han is at home and hasn't encountered anything."

Yeah!

Big Brother asked if there were any bad people at home...

Those people didn't even manage to get inside the house!

So, Han Han's answer was reasonable!

Han Han didn't want Big Brother to know that it was because she said, "I'm so annoyed, can't we just bash those people's heads?" that those people ended up in trouble....

Big Brother didn't like violent kids, let alone those who casually suggested bashing someone's head!

But soon, Han Han felt relieved.

What lie? Big Brother didn't even ask the question clearly!

Li Tianran sat in the driver's seat, raising an eyebrow as he listened to Han Han's response.

Was Chen Nan lying to him?

Were there no two groups of people?

"Okay, Han Han, be good and play at home. If you're hungry, have some fruits to eat. I'll cook for you as soon as I get back." Li Tianran reminded her again.

"Hmm," Han Han readily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Han Han's eyes wandered around, and then she looked towards the mess outside the front gate.

She had watched many TV dramas, not just animated ones.

She knew that if they left the bodies and the excavator outside the gate, the police would probably come looking for them soon.

"I need to do something about the things outside the gate..." Han Han said, covering her little head in distress.

At this moment, she felt like a naughty child who accidentally killed the chickens and ducks raised at home and was now worried about facing her parents' scolding.

At this moment, her style was in complete alignment with Li Tianran's, truly passed down in the same vein!

Covering up the evidence!

....

"The function of remotely monitoring the real-time situation of the farm and data processing outside the farm can only be activated after the sanctuary is upgraded to a fortress level... It seems I need to continue accumulating points; otherwise, it's very inconvenient."

After hanging up the phone, Li Tianran sighed.

Being unable to monitor the farm in real-time and losing the ability to process data outside the farm made him feel uncomfortable.

The first upgrade of the farm didn't require too many points, only eight million points.

If he continued to earn points at the same rate, it would take about one or two months to accumulate enough points.

Li Tianran silently calculated that he would probably complete it around the time of the second Destruction Era.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief.

The first Destruction Era had brought such a huge impact to the world, causing turmoil, and the second one was likely to be even worse!

Only by being fully prepared before it arrived could he face it with confidence.

The vehicle sped away.

As expected, the Mercedes SUV's power was incomparable to that of a truck. Soon, Li Tianran arrived at the agreed Warehouse 78.

From a distance, he saw a black Land Rover parked on the side of the road, which was supposed to be Liang Tianyu's car, according to Chen Nan's confession.

He had arrived early.

It seemed that he was truly concerned about this matter and was afraid of any unforeseen circumstances. He had rushed all the way here.

Li Tianran slowly drove past the Land Rover and through the windshield, he didn't see anyone inside. Then, he looked ahead at the abandoned warehouse.

He parked the car in an inconspicuous corner and got out of the car.

At the moment, he was wearing a suit and sunglasses. If anyone saw him, they wouldn't be able to distinguish him from Chen Nan's subordinates.

"This warehouse has two floors, with eight rooms and one hall... I need to confirm his location first." Li Tianran pondered for a moment, then bypassed the surveillance camera along the wall and climbed in through the back door, using the windows as a point of entry.

Soon, he landed on the second-floor corridor.

The warehouse was empty, and Liang Tianyu should be in one of the rooms.

Li Tianran remained silent for a moment, then dialed Liang Tianyu's phone directly.

At that moment, music sounded from one of the rooms on the second floor.

Li Tianran's lips curled into a sneer, and he hung up the call directly, taking strides towards the source of the music.

Liang Tianyu looked at the disconnected phone and paused for a moment before redialing.

Ring, ring!

The jarring sound of the phone ringing came from outside the room.

Liang Tianyu was taken aback and looked up.

Snap!

The door opened, and Li Tianran stood outside, waving the still-ringing phone in his hand, smiling, "Surprised? Pleasantly or not?"

"You are..." Liang Tianyu's face changed drastically, his expression one of extreme shock.

"I'm Li Tianran," Li Tianran walked in, rolling up his sleeves slightly, revealing a ferocious grin, "I've come to skin you alive!"
