Si Yuan Building was perhaps the most conspicuous structure in the West Suburbs, aside from the Blood Moon Hook. It stood exactly forty stories tall, over 150 meters high, with no unusual design—just a square, blocky structure with considerable usable space. It was one of the West Suburbs' landmark buildings. Yet it was not new. Like most large structures in the West Suburbs, it had been renovated and converted from an old building dating back decades.
Even if the Piao Gang was a major gang, they could not possibly fill an entire forty-story office building with all their personnel combined. In theory, they could rent out some floors to companies, but they had not. Maybe nothing could be rented out in these shitty times. Much of the building stood vacant and empty.
The Piao Gang was currently in the textbook state of being leaderless. Its backbone, Xu Piao, had been dead for half a month, yet no one in the gang had emerged as a true decision-maker. Gao Gui, who had stood a good chance of taking the position just two days ago, had inexplicably had his head chopped off. The gang was in a state of panic.
Especially today, the few important figures remaining in the gang had just followed military vehicles into the city. When the people below ran into trouble and wanted to make a call, they could not find anyone for the moment.
It was precisely during this gang's most vulnerable and bewildered period that Tang Li and the High-Energy Center group walked straight into Si Yuan Building.
When the security team at the entrance saw vehicles bearing the High-Energy Center insignia stop outside, they did not dare block them. They let Tang Li and his party inside, only frantically making phone calls behind them.
