166: Lao Sha's voice?
Before the employees inside the base could react, they watched as Liang Yuzhu led people in and took control of them.
It was too late to resist now, and as they were captured, someone noticed that the leading female police officer seemed quite familiar with Xiao Hu.
Only then did they say as if suddenly enlightened, "Xiao Hu, so you were an undercover agent!"
However, the 'Xiao Hu' who heard this didn't even turn his head.
This caused the employees to repeatedly scrutinize Xiao Hu, and they even shouted:
"Speak up, Xiao Hu! Did you lead them here?"
"Are you possessed by a ghost?" As the employees cursed, they suddenly felt a chill down their spines as if they had discovered something.
Because they found that although Xiao Hu still had that familiar face, ever since Police rushed in.
The aura he exuded was completely different from the bullied Xiao Hu from before!
At this moment, Su Yue didn't pay any attention to the other party, but was contemplating other matters.
He cast his gaze on Liang Yuzhu, having already seen through her thoughts.
So, on the surface, he remained calm, but secretly, he was observing the changes in Liang Yuzhu's expression.
Sure enough, he found that Liang Yuzhu was scrutinizing his every move.
Especially her gaze was occasionally directed towards his left arm.
It was clear she wanted to observe if he had any gunshot wounds left from when he was in the underground warehouse before.
Su Yue didn't find anything strange about it either.
After all, since leaving the underground of the Water Products Company last time, he hadn't met Liang Yuzhu as Yuan.
The other party must be full of curiosity now, especially about whether the direction of the investigation she and her best friend Lan Zijun conducted during this period was right or wrong.
It wasn't just Liang Yuzhu; even Police officers who came with her were looking at Su Yue with interest at this moment.
While controlling the suspects, their eyes were looking towards Su Yue.
Besides curiosity, there was also a hint of admiration in the eyes of these police officers.
They even whispered to each other, "Wow, he's Yuan?"
"This is Liang Team's incredibly capable friend? He doesn't look particularly special..."
As soon as these words were spoken, a police officer beside him immediately reminded him:
"My brother, don't you remember the one lying outside? This face isn't Yuan's."
"And I heard that Yuan's real appearance... even Liang Team hasn't seen it!"
Police officers spoke in low voices, but the employees were utterly confused by what they heard.
For a moment, they didn't understand what they were saying.
"Officer Liang." Just then, Su Yue finally spoke.
However, as his voice sounded, Huang Mao beside him was clearly stunned.
His gaze fell on Yuan, his face filled with astonishment.
Not because of him, but because the voice Su Yue made was clearly Old Sha's!
"Holy cow?? Isn't this Bro Sha's voice?"
"How could Yuan Laoda..." Huang Mao looked at Su Yue in surprise, exclaiming in his heart.
But the other party acted as if nothing was wrong, and his tone was quite natural.
He pointed to the deep tunnel behind them, reminding them just in time:
"There's another iron door behind this, locking up many sick employees."
As Su Yue's voice fell, Liang Yuzhu also felt surprised.
She naturally recognized the voice, and Old Sha's figure appeared in her mind.
Recalling when Old Sha was drawing a portrait for Xiao Long before, his left arm was clearly unable to lift.
Combining that with Yuan's voice now, could it be that Old Sha at that time... really was Yuan?
Liang Yuzhu was simply getting confused.
It seemed the more she tried to investigate Yuan's true identity, the more elusive his identity became.
Seeing the direction Yuan was pointing and hearing his reminder,
Liang Yuzhu simply put aside the matter of Yuan for the time being.
She didn't delay the main task, calling one of her police officers to go with her to check.
As Liang Yuzhu and a police officer's figures left, Huang Mao also quietly sidled up to Su Yue.
"Holy cow... Yuan Laoda, your voice is too similar to Bro Sha's!"
He said this in a voice only the two of them could hear,
Su Yue merely cast a deep gaze at him.
A few minutes later, accompanied by a clamor from the depths of the passage, Liang Yuzhu returned with Police officer.
She had clearly seen some shocking scenes, and her brows were tightly furrowed.
Since she wasn't wearing protective gear, Liang Yuzhu didn't linger in the passage for too long either.
Her expression was slightly serious, and she lowered her voice to instruct:
"Those infected employees will need a few isolation vehicles to pick them up."
"However, since they were painstakingly locked up here, they must know some inside information."
"We might be able to pry some information out of them."
After giving these instructions to Police officers beside her, Liang Yuzhu glanced at the two employees.
"Take them away first."
Immediately, Police officers led the people and walked out of the base.
And when they met up with Police officers outside, the two employees looked at the two figures lying on the ground.
Instantly, their eyes widened, and their faces were filled with disbelief.
"Holy crap, I'm not seeing things, am I?!"
"This is unbelievable, this... isn't this Xiao Hu?!"
The two employees looked at one of the people on the ground; that appearance was all too familiar.
It was clearly Xiao Hu, who had just been in the base, playing cards and chatting happily with them.
But they had just come out of the base, and that Xiao Hu hadn't been escorted into Police car with them.
How could there be another Xiao Hu lying here?
The two immediately looked towards the base in surprise.
Only then did they see that in front of the base gate, another 'Xiao Hu' walked out with the female police officer.
One of the employees immediately swallowed in horror, muttering:
"Two... two Xiao Hus."
"This is bad, perhaps they stayed inside too long, and the germs got into their brains."
"How is this possible..." Both of them were dumbfounded.
Although they got into Police car, at the last moment before the door closed, the two were still staring intently at Su Yue.
...
"Yuan, thanks to your intelligence, we were able to find so many people involved in one go.
"Presumably, they can provide a lot of clues."
Liang Yuzhu said politely, but Su Yue smiled indifferently upon hearing it:
"Officer Liang, let's skip the formalities."
"After all, my client is still here, and I don't want some people with ulterior motives to stir up trouble here."
"Besides, this matter also concerns me personally, so it's good to resolve it as soon as possible."
The two exchanged a few brief words, and Liang Yuzhu glanced at the desolate surroundings.
"How did you get here? Do you need me to give you a ride?"
Liang Yuzhu said, gesturing towards Police car behind her with her eyes.
And Su Yue naturally declined, walking towards the desolate grass under her gaze.
He retrieved the electric bike from the dense weeds.
Taking advantage of the night, he brought Huang Mao and first rode towards the direction of the pharmaceutical factory.
...
The electric bike traveled on the road under the night sky and soon returned to the Norman Pharmaceuticals factory.
From a distance, a figure was seen standing behind the factory's iron gate.
It wasn't difficult to judge from his figure that it was Old Sha.
At this moment, he was full of anxiety; Huang Mao had disappeared with that truck, and he didn't know how things were.
His phone was also on the truck, and he couldn't contact Yuan.

He could only pretend to be unable to sleep, anxiously waiting for news.
"Hey, Yuan Laoda, that looks like Bro Sha."
Huang Mao said in a low voice, pointing at Old Sha behind the door, and the electric bike slowly stopped.
The two walked up to the pharmaceutical factory's gate.
Old Sha behind the door also heard the movement at this moment and looked towards the two.
When he saw that it was Huang Mao approaching, the anxious expression on his face eased slightly.
He also breathed a sigh of relief for the moment, then cautiously scrutinized Su Yue beside Huang Mao.
Since this was the first time Old Sha had seen Su Yue's disguised appearance,
Moreover, he had only communicated through text messages before and had never met Yuan in person.
He couldn't help but start guessing Su Yue's identity.
Although he had a guess, he didn't dare to confirm it directly.
"Huang Mao, where did you run off to?"
"You said you were going to relieve yourself, why did you have to go outside the factory?"
Old Sha was speaking vaguely, clearly for Su Yue to hear.
However, Su Yue naturally knew the meaning behind his words.
He didn't explain directly, letting Huang Mao explain the situation to him first.
"Bro Sha, relieve myself? Didn't I go out with that truck?"
"Oh, right, I also brought this back for you."
Huang Mao said, taking out Old Sha's phone from his pocket and handing it over.
And Old Sha, listening to Huang Mao's words and seeing his actions, immediately frowned.
He thought to himself, this kid Huang Mao really lacks subtlety.
He can't keep anything to himself at all, is he trying to confess here?
Old Sha thought to himself, and his gaze also looked at Su Yue again.
And Huang Mao, noticing Old Sha's gaze, now understood Old Sha's meaning and spoke directly:
"Oh, Bro Sha, what are you guarding against?"
"This is Yuan Laoda!"
As Huang Mao's certain words fell, it was Old Sha who showed surprise.
His gaze scrutinized Su Yue up and down again.
"You are Yuan?!" Old Sha was holding his phone at this moment, seeing that the location sharing was still on.
And the location shown for Yuan at this moment almost overlapped with his.
Now without doubting him, Old Sha's face showed a smile and he said:
"Hiss... did you find me by following the phone's location?"
"This method I came up with on the fly, I didn't expect it to actually work!"
Following Old Sha's words, Su Yue took out a round magnetic object from his pocket.
This was a tracker he took out along with the taser when he came out of the intelligence room.
He handed it to Old Sha and instructed:
"This is a tracker. Next time you encounter this situation, don't throw your phone away."
Old Sha nodded and immediately put it away properly.
Then, seemingly thinking of something else, he asked the two:
"Oh, right, how were things tonight? Where exactly did that truck drive?"
"Did you find anything?"
With Old Sha's inquiry, Huang Mao was also bursting to speak.
Recalling everything that had just happened, he wanted to tell Old Sha all about it.
However, Su Yue looked at the surroundings and instructed:
"This isn't the place to talk yet, and you still have a choice right now."
"Now that something has happened at the base, the news will definitely reach the senior management of Norman Pharmaceuticals."
"They will suspect internal issues at that time, and the two of you will definitely be suspected."
"Therefore, you can choose to withdraw now."
As Su Yue's words fell, Old Sha and Huang Mao exchanged glances, seemingly pondering something.
After a moment, Old Sha said in a deep voice:
"Yuan, although I don't know what happened to you tonight."
"But if we leave now, it would confirm our identities, and we wouldn't be able to get back in to gather information about the place in the future."
"Moreover, they might not discover the situation for a while, and if we suddenly leave without saying goodbye, it might actually alert them."
With Old Sha's words, his attitude was quite clear.
It was clear he meant to continue staying undercover in the factory.
And Huang Mao beside him also nodded, indicating agreement with Old Sha's arrangement.
Seeing the two's persistence, Su Yue didn't say anything more.
"Alright, since you've made your decision, there's no need to hesitate."
"Go back as soon as possible to avoid being discovered by them."
Huang Mao and Old Sha immediately agreed.
But the next second, Huang Mao looked at the locked gate of the pharmaceutical factory and became troubled again.
"Hiss... this iron gate is locked, how do I get back in?"
"Don't tell me I have to wait until a truck comes during the day and then sneak in?"
As soon as Huang Mao had this thought, it was quickly rejected by the two of them.
After all, during the process of receiving goods, the factory's guards were almost supervising the entire time.
Before, Huang Mao was able to hide under the truck and sneak out, but that was only because there were fewer people at night, taking advantage of a blind spot in the view.
Under those circumstances during the day, it would be impossible for Huang Mao to sneak into the pharmaceutical factory under Lao Wang's nose by following a truck driving in from outside.
Immediately, Old Sha also stared at the iron lock on the factory gate, looking troubled. He turned to look at the pharmaceutical factory's wall and said:
"How about... see if you can climb over the wall to get in? I'll catch you on the other side."
Upon hearing this, Huang Mao looked at the row of barbed wire on top of the wall, seemingly engaged in a mental struggle.
And just then, Su Yue stepped forward to the iron gate.
Examining the iron lock on the pharmaceutical factory gate, the style of the lock was quite old, and it was covered in rust.
Coincidentally, among the reconnaissance abilities granted by the System, there was also the most basic lock-picking skill.
Su Yue immediately walked up to the iron lock, observed it for a bit, and said, "Do you have any wire?"
Hearing Yuan's words, Old Sha and Huang Mao were first taken aback.
Then, Old Sha seemed to guess Yuan's intention and quickly searched around.
Finally, he broke off a piece of wire from the barbed wire on the wall and handed it to Yuan.
Su Yue took the wire, folded it in the middle, twisted it slightly, and started picking the iron lock with the back of his hand.
Seeing this scene, Old Sha and Huang Mao were both stunned for a moment.
"Holy cow... Yuan Laoda has this skill too??"
Huang Mao thought to himself, a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
Under the gaze of the two, in just a moment, they heard a crisp click.
The iron lock was actually picked open so easily!
"See, it's open." Su Yue extended the wire and said calmly.
Then the iron gate opened a crack, and Huang Mao slipped in, restoring the iron gate to its original state.
Su Yue gave a couple of final instructions and left before dawn.
And looking at Yuan's departing back, Huang Mao and Old Sha were still pondering something.
"Bro Sha, that technique was too skilled, wasn't it?"
"You think Yuan Laoda before, could he have..."
Before Huang Mao could finish his sentence, Old Sha immediately coughed twice and said:
"Cough, cough, don't think nonsense. With his great skills, it's not strange that he can pick a lock."
"Hurry back and tell me what happened later?"
Speaking in low voices, the two headed towards the warehouse.
