Something for him? Liu Xiaodan's brows lifted, but Li Feng easily remembered the cameras. He then frowned before looking around. "Cameras are everywhere, but I doubt all places are covered. Let's see if the rooms are also visible to them. I don't want them to see it. Also… can you remove this for me? I can't take it off..."

Liu Xiaodan took a look at the earpieces and used both hands to pull it off with Li Feng pried it off of him as well. After a few seconds of pulling and pressing, they managed to work it off of Li Feng's head. Liu Xiaodan then began hearing a voice coming from the right earpiece so he placed it on his ear without locking it onto place.

"Xiaodan, aren't you supposed to be looking for Mo Xingli instead?" Yun He laughed at the mike while massaging his forehead. "So all this time… you were looking for someone else?"

"...Nurse Yun, I don't know what kind of perk I can get, and I don't want to be tied to that strange bed again. I just want to walk around and look for people." Liu Xiaodan used the other earpiece to establish communication. Li Feng was actually stunned that Liu Xiaodan knew this Nurse Yun. "Besides, you told me they're continuing Red Justice. Where are they? I don't see Mr. Min or the rest."

Yun He's eye twitched before he mixed chuckling and clearing his throat. Did this guy forget that Yun He was trying to be discreet about it? Could a small-time nurse actually hand this kind of technology and send someone to the Treatment Hall on his own? However, he just sighed. "You can't mind them for now. Listen, Xiaodan, don't get too ahead. It will become more difficult..."

Chop! Li Feng wasn't scared to deliver a karate chop on Liu Xiaodan's head. The father was even surprised Li Feng actually thought of acting like a proper senior to a junior or someone older in the same family. Li Feng hissed: "You're friends with that Nurse Yun? You do realize that he's probably in that Control Room, right? What if your words got him in trouble? Be more tactful."

"...that would be better… I mean, if he really is in the Control Room right now and that they're listening to our conversation, then…"—a strange murderous glint flashed across Liu Xiaodan's eyes—"Mr. Wu could be around, too, right? He should be listening…?"

Yun He clawed at the desk as he felt like the air around him just ran so thin. He wasn't able to move or speak again, and so the headset was taken away from him just like that. The people only watched from the side as Wu Zhong took over the headset again and smiled meaningfully.

"You wish to speak with me, Xiaodan?" Wu Zhong started, his eyes flying to the camera where they could see the two men. Surprisingly not, they caught Liu Xiaodan glaring at the camera as well. "I would like to inform you that being so rash wouldn't be the best way to deal with this. You might have seen one of your friends, but have you thought about the other two?"

"If you dare touch Nayi and Jin, I'll turn you inside out." Liu Xiaodan hissed through the earpiece, his voice echoing differently. The bone-chilling effect was intensified by the glare he was giving the camera.

"If you want to see Nayi, bring me Mo Xingli." Wu Zhong took the headset off and tossed it to Yun He again. He didn't look away from Liu Xiaodan who seemed to have understood the power play in place. It's true that Wu Zhong had too many pieces against him.

The father then shoved the earpieces towards Li Feng again and walked off. "If you see Mr. Six again, tell him we're going to look for his sister's room some other day. Ming said the Mo Xingli is on this floor. She probably felt the fight here, and she could be running around again. Are you going to walk with me?"

Li Feng found no advantage in splitting so he just placed the earpieces inside his pocket. He raced to get to Liu Xiaodan's side and walked next to the father. "Have you seen Mo Xingli before? I heard she's just a child."

"She's a child, but whatever was inside her is dead now." Liu Xiaodan lowered his eyes before looking away as if disguising his hunt for the child in question. "She should be here somewhere, and I'll just deal with her as fast as I can so you can leave. You're probably here to make me work harder—"

"What do you mean 'whatever was inside her is dead now'? She was possessed?" Li Feng twitched. "Then, we should try to save her. Xiaodan, you know that the possessed could still be salvaged even if the ghosts had been deeply embedded in them. I heard you're doing miracles for those who had dealt with the paranormal…"

"...that notion might bring you to dangerous places, Li Feng." Liu Xiaodan chuckled as if thinking of a way to shoot him down. "Do you think I can always keep you safe in this merciless Hell?"

Li Feng frowned. "I think we established the fact that that's Guangru's job instead."

…

Clink. The ice slid down from another cube and clinked against the glass. Even if the drink was cold, she had been holding it for a while, letting the ice compete with the frost in her touch. Chuan Nayi stared at the screen on the fireplace display, the view changing just to keep on showing Liu Xiaodan. Right now, she could see how Li Feng was speaking with him normally.

Unlike the last time, she was now sitting on the long couch with iced tea at hand. She was in one of her dresses, and she looked like lounging on her own while watching a movie. However, she was just biting the straw and wondering what they were discussing now. She also had an earpiece on her ear that transmitted the sounds collected from the conversation. With the earpiece in Li Feng's pocket, they could barely hear the men's voices.

Chuan Nayi then looked down at the folders on the table. She was told to read through them, but she was so horrified that she had stopped. Then again, hearing that Wu Zhong just threatened Liu Xiaodan using their lives, Chuan Nayi quickly brought down the drink and picked up a file. It was Ruan Jin's, but it wasn't the one they submitted to the project. This file… as the one Yun He had seen as well.

"How much ambition do you think you need to book a date with Death, Wu Zhong? You don't even know what you're angering." Chuan Nayi closed the folder again before picking up another… which was Wu Qianqian's. "You better crush them from the outside, Shanyue. I have my own bottom line, and I won't help them stop Xiaodan if things get really, really bad."
