Two people ran forward and finally saw Huang Renjie's car. Shin looked back and saw that the pursuers had been repelled by the explosion of firecrackers. Some fell to the ground, while others lost their way in the thick smoke. The situation was very much in their favor. He quickly turned around and ran towards the direction of the car, while Kevin had already swiftly opened the car door, ready to let them in.
Shin leaped into the car, followed by Kevin closing the door, and Huang Renjie immediately started the car. The few of them quickly left this dangerous place, leaving behind only thick smoke and the chaotic fountain square.
While driving, Huang Renjie had a serious expression on his face. He knew that the organization had already found out about their actions, and the situation had become extremely dangerous. He was thinking about how to deal with the situation next, and the car fell into silence as each of the three people contemplated the recent events. Huang Renjie furrowed his brows, filled with anxiety and anger. He had hoped that this operation would bring them important clues, but due to hasty actions without thorough investigation, everything had fallen apart and their existence had been exposed. He knew that this failure could pose a great threat to their safety and their organization.
Kevin sat in the driver's seat, his expression tense as he reflected on their recent actions. He felt sorry for the other two because in the recent operation, it was Shin who had solved the problems. He kept telling himself that if he could be stronger, perhaps the outcome would be different.
Shin sat in the back seat, his gaze deep, constantly considering what to do next. He knew the situation was critical, but not without a way out. Scenes from just now kept replaying in his mind, hoping to find new clues or opportunities.
Finally breaking the silence, Huang Renjie spoke in a deep voice, "We must now consider our next move. The organization already knows of our existence, and our office has been destroyed by the Racing gang. Most importantly, we need to ensure the safety of Auntie Hong."
Kevin looked at Huang Renjie with some confusion and said, " Auntie Hong? I don't know her, who is she?"
Huang Renjie explained, " Auntie Hong is the receptionist and file manager at my office. She is crucial to our operation and may be in danger. We need to hurry back to City A to pick her up and discuss our next plan."
Shin nodded in agreement, "Yes, now we must stay calm and not make any more mistakes. This encounter may just be the beginning, and we need to be fully prepared." So, they decided to return to City A as soon as possible, hoping to find a glimmer of opportunity in the uneasy situation.
Shin made a phone call and briefly explained the recent situation to Auntie Hong, arranging to meet in front of the station in City A. The car smoothly arrived at the station and picked up Auntie Hong. The atmosphere inside the car was still filled with tension and unease, but at least now they were united, facing this sudden crisis together.
Huang Renjie began discussing what to do next. He felt responsible for protecting the small team while continuing to investigate the organization's whereabouts, even though it became more dangerous. He said, "We can't stay in this car anymore. The organization may have already tracked its location. We need to find a safe place to re-plan our actions."
Kevin took the opportunity to introduce himself, trying to ease some of the awkwardness and unfamiliarity. He said, "Hello, I'm Kevin, and I recently joined this team. Nice to meet you, Auntie Hong."
Auntie Hong nodded, feeling somewhat panicked, but she also understood that now was not the time for suspicion, but to come together to face the crisis. She said softly, "Hello, Kevin. Thank you for coming to pick me up. I really don't know what's going on."
When discussing future action plans, Huang Renjie, Shin, Kevin, and Auntie Hong began to consider if there was a suitable temporary safe house to go to. Shin's home was probably being targeted by the organization and would be very dangerous, and Auntie Hong's place was too small to be suitable. At this moment, Kevin suddenly thought of a potential option. He said, "The Racing gang used to have a large metal workshop for car repairs, but it hasn't been used for a while. It's located in the outskirts of City A and should be quite safe."
Huang Renjie thought for a moment and nodded, "This sounds like a good choice. The suburban location should be relatively quiet, and we can hide there temporarily to continue planning our next move. Do you know the specific location?"
Kevin recalled, "I have a rough idea of the direction. We can drive to that place and hopefully the metal workshop there is still usable." So, they decided to head to this potential safe house, hoping to evade the organization's surveillance and continue planning their next move there.
Several people sat in the car and, following Kevin's guidance, arrived at a desolate place. There was no one around, only a few scattered houses with dim lights, adding to the eerie atmosphere. In this silence, the metal workshop became particularly conspicuous.
The metal workshop was a relatively old building, with its steel structure walls showing signs of rust, making it look somewhat dilapidated from long exposure to the elements. The workshop's large door was half open, emitting a faint light, indicating that there had been some activity inside earlier.
Kevin stopped the car, and a few people got out, looking around. The appearance of the tin workshop was hidden in the shadows of the night, but in the moonlight, they saw a faint light coming from a corner of the workshop. They followed Kevin into this quiet and desolate place. The exterior of the tin workshop gave a sense of the passage of time, with the steel surface of the outer wall showing signs of rust, and the surrounding abandoned grassland appearing barren. The workshop was roughly the size of a standard basketball court, but its footprint was even larger.
The workshop door was half open, revealing a faint light inside, like an enticing guide drawing them into this secret place.
Upon entering the workshop, they only then realized the spaciousness and versatility of the place. In addition to the main work area, this metal workshop also has a vast space that can accommodate various tools and materials, which is larger than a full basketball court. On one side of the wall, there are several small doors leading to some small metal houses, which may be used for resting or storing miscellaneous items.
Although the facilities in the workshop are somewhat old, they still bear the traces of operation. Various tools are scattered on the large work tables, and there are several shelves piled with parts next to the workbenches. The lights on the ceiling emit dim light, illuminating a part of the workshop while leaving other areas in partial shadow.
This workshop looks like it used to be a busy workplace, but it has been abandoned for some time now. It provides a relatively safe hiding place, large enough to accommodate them, with other small cabins available for their use, allowing them to have a relatively quiet place to discuss their next plans while evading the organization's pursuit.
