Chapter 100

Tang Tingzhi devised a meticulous plan to sow discord among the three factions, aiming to disrupt their already precarious balance.

Under Tang Tingzhi’s arrangement, one team launched an attack on a mining site belonging to the Prayers, destroying two of their bulldozers. They made it appear as if the Lion Mountain Alliance Army was responsible for the attack. Simultaneously, another team conducted a surprise assault on the camp of the Crimson Frost Warriors, resulting in several casualties.

Overnight, they stirred up the three major smuggling factions in Lion Mountain. The desired outcome was to see the Prayers and the Crimson Frost Warriors join forces against the relatively powerful Alliance Army. However, if it didn’t act according to their wishes, it didn’t matter. No matter what, the events taking place tonight won’t be resolved peacefully. Conflict was inevitable, and regardless of how the three factions clashed, the Alliance Army could not stay out of it. As long as they kept the Alliance Army occupied, they could seize the opportunity to launch an attack on the film set.

As expected, even before dawn, armored vehicles of the armed forces were continuously seen passing near Lion Mountain. Within the film set, a group of around 200 soldiers had also been dispatched, presumably to deal with their own troubles.

In the afternoon of the same day, another group of approximately 200 people was deployed.

However, that wasn’t enough. They believed that there must still be a significant number of Alliance Army soldiers stationed inside the film set. The extensive defense fortifications, constructed with reinforced concrete stretching over tens of meters, indicated that this was a well-trained military faction rather than a disorganized group.

With a significant number of Alliance Army soldiers being deployed out of the film set, the defense inside weakened. That night, Shen Changze and Shan Ming decided to infiltrate the film set together. Their objective was to strategically place surveillance cameras in various hidden corners to capture footage of the defense fortifications, patrol patterns, and shift change timings. Additionally, they aimed to create the most accurate layout map of the film set.

Equipped with the necessary gear, the two of them went lightly armed, descending from the mountain under the cover of the night, making their way towards the film set.

Shan Ming would never allow himself to do such a foolish thing.

In a mere twelve seconds, he felt his heart racing as if it would burst out of his chest. Finally, they managed to reach the base of the wall without being detected. With the rough stone wall as support, both of them climbed over it at their fastest pace. As they landed with their backs against the wall, they faintly heard the sound of the guard’s combat boots kicking against stones on the other side.

The timing was just right!

Both of them were panting, they turned to look at each other and shared a smile.

They checked their equipment to make sure nothing was left behind, and then silently sneaked into the film set.

Apparently, this film set was themed as a recently bombed Polish town, depicting a love story set during World War II. As a result, the buildings in the set showcased a strong European style. The tallest structure in the film set was the bell tower of a church, which was a coveted position for snipers. The next significant location was a partially destroyed administrative building, which, due to its structural layout, offered good defensive positions and very suitable for cover.

The film set was incredibly cluttered, with debris scattered everywhere. There were plenty of corners and hiding spots where people could conceal themselves. It’s unclear whether the design was intentional or if the ravages of the war in Sierra Leone added to its authenticity. Nevertheless, the atmosphere was one of desolation and post-war devastation. In this environment, both Shen Changze and Shan Ming felt right at home, they effortlessly found ideal hiding places whenever they encountered guards.

However, they were also worried. It would be challenging to search for Tang Jingzhi in such a well-hidden place. Who knew how many secrets were concealed within this sprawling film set that covered hundreds of acres? They had to find a way to determine Tang Jingzhi’s location before taking action, otherwise, he would definitely slip away.

The two of them sneaked into the government building and climbed up the floors. They installed the cameras in a position that overlooked the street in front of the building. One person handled the installation while the other kept watch.

Just as Shan Ming finished installing the camera, Shen Changze grabbed his arm and made a hushing gesture. Shan Ming perked up his ears and listened carefully. It seemed like someone was approaching.

These people were all patrolling the street below. Why would they come into the building? This building was dilapidated, with exposed steel bars in some places and cracks on the roof. It looked quite dangerous, and the ceiling seemed like it could collapse at any moment. Was there a need for guards to enter? Could they have been discovered?

Footsteps approached their floor, and there was only one staircase. It was too late to leave. They had no choice but to hide in a dark corner and observe what the other party intended to do.

Shen Changze made a hand gesture representing the Dragon Blood Kins that they had invented, and then made a throat-slashing motion. Shan Ming understood his meaning: if the person coming up was a Dragon Blood Kin, they had to kill them swiftly because Dragon Blood Kins would definitely smell Shen Changze’s scent.

The footsteps approached, with one person following behind the other. Surprisingly, they actually heard a woman’s voice saying, “It’s too dark here, so scary.” The voice sounded like she was acting coquettishly.

A male voice chuckled and said, “This is the best spot, babe.”

After saying that, the two individuals began to kiss each other.

This made both Shen Changze and Shan Ming extremely gloomy. It turned out to be a man and a woman came here to committee adultery. However, they couldn’t understand how there could be a woman in such a location.

The couple of lovebirds quickly became more passionate, and their sounds became increasingly unbearable to listen to. If they were aware that there were two people watching them from the darkness about seven to eight meters away, they would probably be terrified and remain cold-hearted for the rest of their lives.

Shen Changze frowned in disgust, while Shan Ming listened with great interest. Despite the prevalence of the internet, where one could easily see all kinds of women’s nudity without spending a penny, men still found excitement in peeping. The thrill and satisfaction derived from the desire to peep weren’t provided by sexual acts alone. Shan Ming was just an ordinary man in this regard. However, the only difference was that even though he was enjoying what he was hearing, he didn’t let his guard down. He knew he was still in enemy territory. Despite the pitch-black surroundings where he couldn’t see his own hand, he could still sense Shen Changze’s disapproving gaze directed at him.

He knew that Shen Changze could see him because, well, his own eyes are just human eyes while Shen Changze’s eyes are that of a monster’s.

Shan Ming leaned closer to his face, and in the darkness, he could finally see Shen Changze’s eyes. He glared at Shen Changze, annoyed that he was being so nosy.

Shen Changze was infuriated. He felt his pride being humiliated by Shan Ming’s intense interest in the couple’s intimate activities. He was right there beside him, but Shan Ming was indulging in fantasies about another woman. Just from listening to the sounds, Shan Ming’s eyes were gleaming with excitement. If he could see the explicit scene, Shan Ming might even have a physical reaction. The mere thought of Shan Ming getting aroused by someone else made Shen Changze want to strangle the couple of lovebirds or even Shan Ming himself to death.

He forcefully gripped Shan Ming’s chin, blocking his lips with his own lips, and deliberately bit into the tender flesh of his lower lip.

At that moment, Shan Ming couldn’t fight back or make any big movements. The only resistance he could muster was to bite Shen Changze back in return.

The kiss, mingled with the taste of blood, continued for over half a minute before Shen Changze reluctantly released him, still feeling frustrated.

At that moment, the couple of lovebirds had also finished. That man proved to be quite quick, but that woman’s admiration for him remained undiminished.

From the conversation that followed their adultery, they gathered the following information: Firstly, that woman was that man’s father’s mistress. Secondly, that man’s father was an important figure in the Alliance Army. And thirdly, this important figure was currently in the film set, together with a “group of Eastern people,” which clearly referred to Tang Jingzhi and his companions.

This information was highly valuable. The fact that an important figure from the Alliance Army was inside the film set provided them with ample opportunities to make further progress. They now had many avenues to explore and actions to take.

The couple of lovebirds spent over forty minutes together before they departed from the scene.

After holding their breath and refraining from making any movements for a while, they finally let out a sigh of relief. The moment the couple left, both of them sat down on the ground.

Shen Changze pounced on Shan Ming and through gritted teeth, he said, “Do you still remember that we’re on a mission? You actually got so excited listening to those two making love?”

Shan Ming even laughed and licked his lips, savoring the moment. “To be able to enjoy such entertainment on enemy territory, it’s quite rare. That chick’s voice was quite seductive. I wonder what she looks like…”

Shen Changze couldn’t contain his anger and swiftly delivered a slap to Shan Ming’s face.

Shan Ming was taken aback for a moment, and then he became furious. “Are you fucking looking for death?” Although he was angry, he made an effort to keep his voice low.

Unexpectedly, Shen Changze did not continue to attack him. Instead, he stood up and walked towards the stairs leading downstairs.

Shan Ming thought that Shen Changze would definitely pounce on him to kiss and bite him again. But to his surprise, it ended with just a single slap. He had even mentally prepared himself for a fight. Anyway, he stood up and followed Shen Changze.

Shen Changze continued to install cameras in the remaining few buildings, and during this time, he didn’t exchange a single word with Shan Ming.

With Shen Changze remaining silent, Shan Ming had nothing to say to him either. Both of them silently completed the installation of the surveillance devices and then made their way out of the film set from another side. They took a detour and returned to their camp.

Shen Changze entered the tent without even glancing at him and proceeded to report the situation to the others. While, Shan Ming, with his limited emotional intelligence, pondered the situation, then realized that his son was mad.
