"My Tenant is a Female Ghost" is a female ghost.
"Sister!" Cai Wenwu had not yet run over when he was pinned to the ground by Wang Bin. A violent wave of air mixed with debris spread out, causing the entire underground palace to tremble. Loose stones and dust fell from above, and the searchlights flickered on and off before finally giving in to darkness.
"Wang Bin, Wang Bin, are you okay?" Cai Wenwu asked anxiously as he was pinned beneath Wang Bin. Fortunately, he heard Wang Bin's weak voice: "Captain, I've injured my leg; I can't move."
Cai Wenwu gently pushed Wang Bin aside. "Hang in there; I'm going to check on my cousin and Brother Bai." His tone was icy, filled with killing intent. Wang Bin, who had spent so much time with Cai Wenwu, knew that his captain was truly angry.
The tent was in ruins. Using the light from a hand grenade, Cai Wenwu searched for Cao Yu and Bai Zhuo but found no trace of them.
Old Liu had run out of ammunition and was ultimately no match for Black Tiger. He was shot in the leg and captured by Black Tiger.
"Black Tiger, don't let him die," Cai Wenwu said as he helped Wang Bin up, his face grim. But just as Cai Wenwu finished speaking, blood splattered from Old Liu's skull as his head tilted to one side, falling silent.
Black Tiger was taken aback and quickly released Old Liu's body. It wasn't until Black Tiger confirmed that there was nothing unusual about Old Liu's corpse that he stepped forward to inspect it.
Black Tiger shone a tactical flashlight back and forth over Old Liu's body. "Boss, it's a biological bomb; the listening device was destroyed along with it."
"Is there no wreckage left behind?" Cai Wenwu's expression darkened significantly. "If I find out who did this, I guarantee they won't get away with it!"
Black Tiger shook his head. Suddenly, Cai Wenwu turned around and grabbed Tomb Raider Wang Tao by the collar. Wang Tao, still bleeding from his backside, was terrified and kept mumbling, "Commander, Commander, this has nothing to do with me! I have no connection with Old Liu! Look, I even saved your cousin with Master Bai Zhuo; how could I possibly do something so foolish?"
"Boss, calm down," Black Tiger advised. "I suspect this incident really has nothing to do with him. In my opinion, Old Liu wasn't targeting you or me; he was after Brother Bai."
Cai Wenwu glared at Wang Tao through clenched teeth. "You better not pull any tricks; otherwise, you'll regret it!" With that, he threw Wang Tao onto the ground. The gunshot wound on Wang Tao's backside hurt so much that he grimaced in pain and couldn't explain himself.
"Captain, look," Black Tiger said as he opened a piece of white paper in his hand. "I pulled this out of his throat; he probably didn't have time to swallow it before being killed by the biological bomb."
Cai Wenwu raised his tactical flashlight and saw a character written on it: "Bai." He instantly understood that Old Liu had indeed been targeting Bai Zhuo! With this realization, a storm surged within Cai Wenwu's heart. He asked Black Tiger, "Are you sure this is the guide sent down from above?"
"One hundred percent certain, no doubt about it," Black Tiger stated firmly.
Cai Wenwu held the note in his hand, lost in thought. He glanced at Wang Tao, then at Zheng Ming and Kagura Keiha, who was searching for Bai Zhuo. After a long silence, he said, "There are two possibilities: either we have been infiltrated from above, or this person has been lurking in the prison for a long time and just happened to be assigned a mission. Regardless of why his target is Brother Bai, either way, we are in trouble."
Black Tiger nodded. "Indeed, Old Liu's skills are already on par with those of an international elite mercenary. If it weren't for his limited equipment, I wouldn't stand a chance against him."
"That's right, I felt the same," Cai Wenwu replied. "And considering the forces behind Old Liu..."
Cai Wenwu did not continue. "Black Tiger, once we get out of here, you need to report this matter as soon as possible. When you do, mention my name and escalate it directly."
Black Tiger responded, "Understood, boss. What about you?"
"Alive or dead, I need to see them," Cai Wenwu said as he looked back at the tent. "Once I find my cousin and Brother Bai, I'll stay in Ningcheng for a while. What I do next will be communicated to you later."
Before long, the engineering unit had cleared the blocked path.
However, Bai Zhuo and Cao Yu were still missing. According to Wang Tao's theory, it seemed that a grenade had triggered a mechanism in the underground palace, sending them to another chamber; otherwise, the grenade's power couldn't have been so great as to obliterate two people lying on the ground.
Thus, Cai Wenwu had no choice but to abandon the search and return to the surface with his soldiers to reconsider their plans.
Zheng Ming left with a large coffin amidst curious glances from others. If it weren't for Cai Wenwu's instructions, he might have been mistaken for a grave robber. Kagura Keiha vanished after exiting the underground palace, leaving only Wang Tao under strict surveillance.
The underground was dark and devoid of sunlight; time felt irrelevant.
"Where am I? Ugh—damn it's cold!" Bai Zhuo suddenly sat up from the ground, feeling his back soaked with icy dew.
He wiped away the moisture and realized what had happened. "Damn it, where are my clothes?"
In the darkness, Bai Zhuo searched for his garments. Gradually adjusting to the dimness, he suddenly spotted a white object not far away but couldn't discern what it was. A chill ran down his spine. "Could it be a corpse?"
He thought to himself as he cautiously approached, kicking at the object from a distance. Without shoes on, he could feel its temperature and softness.
"Still alive!" Bai Zhuo crouched down and turned over the figure on the ground, revealing that it was a woman, and she was completely naked! He helped her up, but in the darkness, he couldn't see her clearly. As he examined her, he found himself almost face to face with her.
After a long moment, he finally recognized her. "What the hell, how is it this Crazy Woman?"
It turned out that the woman lying on the ground was none other than Cao Yu.
Then, Cao Yu woke up. She distinctly felt a warm hand covering her chest while her backside was cold. Memories flooded back, and she finally realized that she was naked. The person leaning close to her face, trying to kiss her, was none other than that con artist Bai Zhuo!
Cao Yu's anger surged. How could she sacrifice her dignity to save his life only for him to have such intentions? With a swift motion, she slapped Bai Zhuo across the face with a resounding "smack!"
"Pervert!"
Bai Zhuo was stunned by the unexpected slap. Naturally, it didn't feel good to be hit for no reason. His hands instinctively clenched into fists as he cursed, "I saved you out of kindness, you Crazy Woman! You're utterly unreasonable! If you weren't a woman, I'd make sure you regretted this!"
Upon hearing Bai Zhuo's words, any lingering goodwill Cao Yu had towards him vanished. She wanted to retort but found herself at his mercy in a vulnerable position. All the words she wanted to say turned into a soft moan that left her lips: "Ah~"
Cao Yu felt utterly wronged and ashamed as tears of frustration streamed down her cold, beautiful face.
