"Brother Yanhuang!" Lu Yao called out to Xiao Feng: "This is the thing you described to me before. If I'm not mistaken, it should be this."
As she spoke, she handed over the phone.
Xiao Feng took it and looked. On it was a photo, showing an ancient bronze ring, vaguely engraved with some letters and incomprehensible symbols, identical to the one worn by the old woman who claimed to be Lin Jiaxuan's grandmother.
"Is there any information about this ring?" Xiao Feng urgently asked. If he could confirm the origin of the ring, it could prove that the old woman was definitely suspicious, and accordingly, there would be solid evidence to suspect Lin Jiaxuan.
Lu Yao said: "This ring is not any international brand, but rather a proof of identity for a small family in the American region. However, this family is quite unknown. Coupled with the fact that you only gave a verbal description, it took me quite a bit of effort to find it."
"Is there a possibility of forgery?" Xiao Feng asked further: "From the material, it doesn't seem to be ordinary."
"Almost none." Lu Yao moved a bit closer to Xiao Feng: "The purpose of forging would be to impersonate a member of their family, but this family is small, meaning not many members. Even if they're not very familiar with each other, recognizing faces shouldn't be a problem. In summary, the value of impersonation is low, with a high risk of being exposed."
"As for the material you mentioned, I had people over there find the actual item. It's actually rose gold, an alloy of gold and copper. You thought the material was special because the craftsmanship isn't refined, rough in appearance, and not well-polished."
Xiao Feng took a deep breath. This result was quite unexpected for him. Although he didn't know what connection that old woman had with the small American family, it at least proved that she wasn't just an ordinary scavenger.
"Brother Yanhuang, why did you have to leave the camp?" Lu Yao asked, puzzled. This was a question she always wanted to ask.
Xiao Feng replied with a smile: "The reason is quite simple. There's a saying that people with different beliefs can't cooperate. The killing skills I mastered are to only kill those who deserve it, but her philosophy is that no one in the world is innocent. With such differing views, conflicts naturally occur."
"I see." Lu Yao nodded knowingly. That elder sister was always mysterious, even those closest to her had never seen her true face.
If Lu Yao were to evaluate that elder sister, it would be cruel and suspicious, seemingly never truly trusting anyone. The only one who could confront her and dare to talk back was Brother Yanhuang.
"Before I left, I heard that the elder sister was about to return to the camp. She might have already sent people to deal with you, so be careful!" Lu Yao said seriously.
Xiao Feng found it somewhat amusing: "The crazy woman's rule was that whoever could kill their way out of the camp would gain freedom, and now she's going back on her word?"
"Brother Yanhuang, if one day I could also kill my way out of the camp like you did, could I come to find you?" Lu Yao asked cautiously, as if afraid Xiao Feng would refuse.
Xiao Feng patted Lu Yao's shoulder: "You have the right to choose your own life. Even if you don't go back now, it's your freedom."
As soon as he finished speaking, two policemen walked out from the house next to Miao Youmin's place, saying as they walked, "This family only mentioned hearing some noise on the balcony, but when they went to check, there wasn't even a shadow. It seems Miao Youmin really is missing."
Xiao Feng immediately became alert. Although these two policemen walked the same way as before, their hat brims were pressed very low, and their heights seemed a bit different than before.
"Since you're here, why are you still hiding?" Xiao Feng said coldly, immediately shielding Lu Yao behind him.
The two policemen paused for a moment, then took off their hats and tossed them aside, revealing two unfamiliar faces. One of them smiled and said, "We originally wanted to surprise you, but it seems unnecessary now."
"Gao Tian, Luo Yi?" Lu Yao exclaimed from behind Xiao Feng: "Why is it you guys?"
Gao Tian slowly unbuttoned his collar, chuckling: "I thought you were also sent by the elder sister to kill him. Didn't expect you were planning betrayal. Don't worry, after we kill him, we'll take you back. We won't kill you right away."
"Are these two people famous?" Xiao Feng asked, puzzled.
Lu Yao explained in a low voice: "These are the two strongest among the new people after you left. Although they haven't graduated yet, they've already taken on the role of instructors. Gao Tian is good at close combat, and Luo Yi is good at tracking."
The so-called graduation refers to a necessary process for newcomers entering the Devil's Concentration Camp. Only after graduating can you be considered one of their own, and instructors are only appointed to those who excel in a certain field.
Xiao Feng and Lu Yao, as the outstanding ones among the same batch, naturally obtained this status as well. However, neither of them gained the instructor role before graduation.
"Yanhuang, right?" Luo Yi, the slimmer one, stepped forward, speaking in a mocking tone: "I thought whoever could kill their way out of the camp would be someone impressive, but it turns out you're just like this, fighting such low-level opponents, what a disappointment."
Xiao Feng suddenly realized that the old third the middle-aged man mentioned before was killed by these two, which explained why he had been so smooth all the way without encountering any obstacles.
But the question was, where were these two people before, and why hadn't he detected any signs of being targeted?
For the first time in Jiangcheng, Xiao Feng found himself seriously facing the strongest opponents since his return, completely incomparable to those underground fighting kings and the like.
Gao Tian threw his coat aside, speaking grimly: "From the moment you betrayed the elder sister, you should have expected this day. Our brothers can step on the shoulders of a giant like you to climb up. After we return, we'll make a name for ourselves."
"Betrayal my ass, it wasn't like I voluntarily went to that damned camp. That crazy woman tricked me there initially, and didn't allow me to leave?" Xiao Feng chuckled: "But you two, being so thoroughly brainwashed, willingly risking your lives for her, don't you think it's pretty insane?"
"To die for elder sister is our supreme honor!" Gao Tian and Luo Yi said simultaneously.
"..." Xiao Feng was at a loss for words. Anyone would believe they were brainwashed!
In fact, every person who entered the Devil's Concentration Camp had been indoctrinated with such a mindset.
Xiao Feng initially found it amusing, hearing those people talk about "Elder sister is invincible", "Elder sister's orders are higher than the sky" sounded as ridiculous as circus clowns.
But over time, Xiao Feng realized something was off. Although you couldn't tell with the people around him usually, as soon as the words elder sister were mentioned, their eyes would immediately become reverent, chanting words incomprehensible to a normal person.
Compared to Gao Tian and Luo Yi's current performance, it was the same if not worse.
Gradually, Xiao Feng realized that this elder sister was making people accept this mindset through repeated emphasis. Over time, it became a habit, hard to correct.
Xiao Feng never liked things to be unclear. To train so many experts required a fortune and resources, practically astronomical numbers.
So the question arose, where did the money come from?
This elder sister cultivated so many subordinates who only knew to kill and be loyal to her, for what purpose?
Too many doubts remained unexplained, and naturally, Xiao Feng sought answers, laying the foundation for his eventual break with the Devil's Concentration Camp...
"Yanhuang, our brothers will be grateful to you. After killing you, elder sister will surely be pleased." Luo Yi flipped his wrist, revealing a purple butterfly knife, his smile growing increasingly dangerous.
Xiao Feng signaled Lu Yao to move to a safe distance, then sprang like a spring, leaping in front of Gao Tian, taking the initiative to attack.
