Chapter 19 Each with their own plans
Chapter 19 Each with their own plans
Xu Hang explained that he had been sleeping at the company recently and confirmed this through a video call before Lu Tingxue lowered her guard.
She rented a small apartment by herself; her family didn't own a house in the county town.
Xu Hang remembered clearly that Lu Tingxue's family was from a small mountain village outside the county town. Her parents worked in a southern city, and her grandparents passed away one after another during the five years of her life. She was now all alone.
This state of mind, where you only need to protect yourself and everything will be fine, is exactly what we need right now.
Before setting off, Xu Hang dialed the number 49, which was different from the previous text message.
This time, the caller ID did not disappear. After a few rings, the other party answered the phone.
The voice carried a hint of weariness:
"Honey, it's so late."
Is there something you need?
Xu Hang got straight to the point:
"As we agreed, I've already settled into the company premises. Now you need to provide me with intelligence."
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone became somewhat interested:
"Okay, what kind of information do you want?"
However, I should clarify beforehand that I do not possess a complete Heavenly Eye Divination chart; all I can provide is what I know.
Xu Hang hummed in agreement, then asked the first question:
"Rules can be added to the classroom blackboard. How can I add a second rule? Can the second rule be the game's exit mechanism?"
Upon hearing this question, the 49th person chuckled softly:
"You're starting to care about this after all."
Well then, I'll tell you this as good news.
That's right, we can add an exit mechanism to this game. As long as you all work together, theoretically you can control the game.
However, adding a second rule is not a simple matter.
"Just tell me."
The 49th person didn't expect Xu Hang to be so impatient, and immediately told him how to add the second rule:
Do you remember that this is the first version of the game?
The person who performs best in this version will have the right to add a second rule, and that person can write the rule on the blackboard after obtaining the consent of at least 2/3 of the people.
It's that simple, except that this 2/3 is calculated based on the total number of people.
In other words, if too many people are eliminated, and the required two-thirds majority isn't reached, then the new rule will never take effect.
Upon hearing this, Xu Hang understood what the other party meant.
The person who performs best in this version is probably the one who gets the title of "Star Picker".
The problem is that this is a competitive game.
Regardless of who might be sacrificed, it's hard to say whether the rules will be passed unanimously as they were the first time, given that everyone will become enemies with each other.
Rationally, a mechanism to exit the game would benefit everyone, but humans are not a species that can make judgments entirely based on reason.
Thinking of this, Xu Hang sighed softly, then asked the second question he wanted to ask:
Will anyone take action against Lu Tingxue tonight?
The person on the other end of the phone gave a straightforward answer to this question:
"I have no idea."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is I don't know. As I just said, the information I have is very limited."
I don't monitor the power of any of you; I'm just an ordinary girl.
And don't you think it's a bit much that you're only helping me with one thing, but I have to answer three questions for you?
Hearing this, Xu Hang didn't press the matter any further.
He instinctively wanted to thank her, but then he thought that this was the result of his own labor, and there was nothing to thank her for. It was a fair transaction between them.
Having confirmed this, Xu Hang walked out of his office and knocked on the door of the large office area next door.
With a series of footsteps, Shen Yao opened the door from the inside.
"Manager, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Come with me out for a bit; I need to pick someone up."
Hearing this, Shen Yao hesitated for a moment.
"Manager, is this considered work?"
"It counts as work, and specifically as your primary job."
The person to be picked up is Lu Tingxue.
Hearing this, Shen Yao nodded.
Soon, she drove Xu Hang away from the entrance of Warm Winter Bank.
Shortly after they set off, a figure peeked out from the green belt in front of the Warm Winter Bank and took out a phone to send a voice message:
"They've set off, I'll take my men and follow them."
Just let Lu Tingxue disappear for two or three days, then let her go.
Everyone can get what they want.
You guys get ready to provide backup. Once we've got him, move him away as quickly as possible.
After saying this, he got into a car hidden in the shadows.
As the engine started, he quickly chased after Xu Hang and the others in the direction they had left.
Xu Hang received Lu Tingxue's location in the car. After inputting the location into the car's navigation system, the fastest route was quickly generated.
He then contacted Liu Xuan:
"I've already set off. How about you?"
"Lu Tingxue is in my car right now."
Xu Hang was taken aback when he heard Liu Xuan's words.
Liu Xuan then explained:
"Just in case, I think the other party will definitely send people to track you down, or directly come to besiege Lu Tingxue's residence, so I made an extra preparation."
When you arrive at Lu Tingxue's residence, after entering the apartment, leave through the bay window. I have left a descent rope there, and someone will be there to meet you.
After we leave, we will immediately begin the second plan. You take Lu Tingxue to your hiding place, while the others and I will be responsible for blocking anyone who might try to intercept you.
After this combo, I don't believe they can still catch Lu Tingxue.
Hearing Liu Xuan's arrangement, Xu Hang was somewhat taken aback:
"Did you really come up with this yourself? Or...?"
Liu Xuan readily admitted:
"This is certainly not what I thought of."
Qingyang was also particularly concerned about this matter; he was the one who reminded us that Lu Tingxue might be attacked tonight, and he was the one who helped come up with the solution.
Upon hearing this, Xu Hang immediately relaxed a lot.
In his view, the plan was flawless.
It can effectively confuse the opponent while safely transferring Lu Tingxue, and even leaves room for maneuver.
This ensures that even if the enemy discovers that Lu Tingxue has been moved in advance, there will be enough manpower to intercept their pursuit team.
After finalizing the action plan, it wasn't long before he and Shen Yao arrived at the foot of an apartment building.
"Shen Yao, drive around to the back of the building, don't turn on the lights, and quietly move over using the nighttime light."
On the way here, Xu Hang had already explained the plan to Shen Yao in general terms.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yao immediately replied, "I understand."
She even felt a little excited at this moment, like she was starring in a crime movie.
The two then went their separate ways; Shen Yao drove the car away through a nearby alley, while Xu Hang went into the apartment building.
A few minutes later, another car arrived at the apartment building, and several people got out and rushed inside.
